Hi everyone, I'm new. I'm writing a fan fiction for my favourite long-term anime, Inuyasha. Please comment and give feedback, thanks.

Warning: I love leaving cliffhangers. If you don't like them, I highly suggest you continue on, though I will pick up where I left off and end the story without one.

Kagome

It's been a year since I have returned to Inuyasha and nothing has gotten better. He doesn't hug, kiss, or cuddle me anymore; even when it's obvious I yearn for his touch and intimacy. Where I want a romantic relationship, it seems he wants a platonic relationship instead but I can't leave him due to the overwhelming feeling I get when I look at him which is called love.
When I wake up, it's still dark and there are no sounds in the village. I look over at Inuyasha, who is snoozing soundly and decide to go for a walk outside in the crisp, cool, December air. Thank you for no snow. I get up and see the remains of a fire, the wood still glowing red, as if it was put out by the wind instead of by water. As I shrug on my jacket, I look around and take in the surroundings, noticing a pink smudge on the far right on the floor of our house. Walking closer, I notice that it isn't a smudge but instead a comb, the pink a flower. Tears spring into my eyes and I dart out of the house and into the forest, hearing a scream somewhere behind me.

Inuyasha

I wake with a start to a slam at our door. Bolting up, I hurry to the spot in our floor where the Tessaiga is hidden. I turn to tell Kagome that I'll be right back, only to discover an empty depression in the blankets where she should be. Where could she be? I think and a sick thought creeps up my spine and settles in my mind. Did she leave me? The idea of such a thing makes me panic. I frantically search the room for a sign that she hasn't left, finding her backpack. She… left it… That lets me know something's wrong. Kagome never leaves her backpack, it has everything she needs. I bolt through the door, knocking a few things over in the process and not caring. I taste the air and catch her scent drifting towards the woods.

"AHHH!" I hear and know its Kagome's voice so I run faster, dodging branches that stick out and obstacles blocking my path. I arrive at a spot where her scent is strongest to find her in the claws of a strange creature, eyes closed, mouth dripping scarlet, and pale.
