Hey guys! I re-wrote this chapter and its alot better. Anyways, I hope you enjoy it and don't forget to comment! I'm not scared of the whole 'You misspelled 11 words and messed up 26 apostrophe' s' thing. As long as it's polite. ;)
This story will contain language and some fluff. It might have a lemon later on, but it all depends. Now, on with the story!
I don't own Inuyasha
KAGOME POV.
"Kagome, Kagome, we need to run faster!"
My legs felt stiff from pure fear as Sango gripped my hand like my life depended on it. She nearly dragged be through the corners of the burning school halls, shrieks and yells echoing throughout them. My little blue dress with stripes on it was torn and my pig-tails fell down from their hold.
A door in front of us blew off its hinges and and almost all I could hear was a constant ringing as another bomb went off. Sango yanked me in another direction, swerving us out of range of the doors. I inhaled deeply into the smoke filled building, causing me to nearly have a cough attack.
I looked left and right through squinted eyes as we sprinted down the next hall, looking for an exit. I managed to spot a green exit sign through the smoke and my clouded mind.
"There! *cough* Through that door!" I managed cough out.
Sango' s eyes darted to where I motioned and we wasted no time finding our way through the black smoke. We blasted through the door, stumbling out to find ourselves faced with the forest that stood at the back of our middle school. I hunched over and let out a row of coughs and heavy gasps, trying to rid my lungs of the black smoke.
I sprung back up again when I heard another round of gun shots fired following another set of screams. And again. Again. And again. I stared in sheer horror at my burning school.
"Kagome, come on. I'm not leaving you here, we need to go. Now!"
I slowly turned my head back to Sango, and I was not surprised to feel the hot stream of tears running down my cheeks. Sango stared at me with a pleading expression, before her hand shot out and grasped mine.
"I'm not leaving you here Kagome"
I stared at her for a few seconds before bringing my other hand up to my face and quickly wiping my eyes, before I quickly nodded my head with determination in my eyes.
She gave me a hopeful smile before we both turned away and ran into the woods.
It seemed like we were running for hours through the thick trees and bushes before we reached a steep hill, at about a 75° angle. There were trees sticking out of the side of the hill, enough that Sango said we could make it if we held on tight. I gripped each and every branch as hard as my little hands could've mustered, getting cuts along my arms and legs as I clung to the branches. The calluses that formed on my fingers not to long ago had been torn and burned my skin with every second I gripped onto the wood. After about an hour straight of furious climbing, my body was shaking and I grounded my teeth together as I reached the last few branches. Pulling myself over, I rolled on my back, heavy breathes of air leaving my body as I let out a few groans in pain.
Turning my head to the side, I stared up at Sango as she gazed with absolute horror to the city behind us. Standing up, I turned to see what she was staring at when my vision caught sight of what exactly made Sango look so terrified.
Red.
The entire city, and those beyond it over the hills, were enveloped in red flames.
Screams full of Pain echoed throughout the city, as well as those filled with malice. I saw the flashes of guns being fired and the clouds of grey dirt from buildings tumbling over to the ground.
Oh God...
I sprung up from my bed, sweat covering my body and My breathes coming out harsh and labored. I ran a hand through my hair and closed my eyes, letting out a uneven sigh. Another dream, even after 8 years, I cant forget what happened that day. Throwing my legs over the side of my bed, I got up and walked over to my bathroom and turned on the sink. Splashing my face with some cold-ass water, I stared at myself in the mirror.
Yep, it's still the same old 19 year old Kagome.
It's been a while since I've had that dream, at least a month. After I had witnessed my first form of Hell, I had worked myself to death for the past 8 years, protecting myself from the demon gangs that ruined my life. That killed my family in front of my very eyes the very morning that the school had been invaded.
I had found this house not 6 years back, in the middle of the woods. It wasn't the same one that I ran through with Sango all those years back, but it was what I needed. It was an abandoned 2 story house that seems like it hadn't been used in centuries. Its roof reaches to just bellow the highest branches of the trees, but just enough so that I could see the city from the top, a couple miles away. There were only a few windows on the top floor, but other than that, it was a vine-encassed Block of brick and cement.
Sango stopped living with me two years back when she met her boyfriend, Miroku. I had only met the guy one or two times before, but from what I observed, he was a decent guy. Besides for his tendency to grope Sango every 10 minutes, he was very fitting for her. Ha! I remember the first time I saw him grope her, I jumped up from where I was sitting and pounced on him. Put a knife to his throat, but before I did anything, Sango managed to pry me off of the man and told me it was ok.
Shaking my head, I walked over to my desk in the corner of the room instead of going back to my bed. I sat down in the wooden chair and turned on the rusted lamp on the corner of the table. Staring down at my journal, I flipped it open and picked up my pencil.

LOG 516:
I had another dream of the day the World collapsed. I am still working on some of the security measures, it's taking longer than expected due to the lack of technology and equipment.
I haven't experienced any new revelations with my powers. It's been 6 months since I've felt the urge to let it out, and my tolerance is growing. But I dont think I will ever get used to being a damned cursed child. Anyways, I better get back to work.
-Kagome
Putting aside my notebook, I began to concentrate on the blue print ( actually, it was just a regular piece of paper. No way in Hell can I find the real deal paper) of my next system. I started to sketch it out, putting every little detail into consideration. Although, It was the opposite of high-tech. All my systems were made by various chain reactions and vary few involved chemical reactions. No electronics. But today I was making the leap to use a battery.
Yes, the very modern technology called a double-A battery.
I continued to sketch and write down various notes until I could see the sky beginning to brighten ever so slightly before I dozed off with my arms outstretched in front of me.
Hey guys! I feel that after re-writing this chapter, it turned out a whole lot better. ^·^ Anyways, I hope you guys liked it and continue reading! If not, I wish you a wonderful day in another Universe. Please comment and review, let me know if this was an improvement or not.
Until next time,
My Little chubby pandas. [»·«]/
