Chapter one: Silent betrayal

"No no no! Inuyasha! How could you do this to me? You fool! Why!" I demanded.

"Wait Kagome. Please listen to me!" Inuyasha tried. "I can explain!"

"No...no. Seeing you with her was one too many times." I said through tears.

"I……" Inuyasha began.

"Save it, I know what you're going to say. The same thing you always say!"

"…Well fine then!" Inuyasha yelled. "If you're too stubborn to listen, then just leave!"

"Already planning on it! And this time, you'd better not follow me!"

"Who'd wanna follow you?" Inuyasha muttered.

I was mad before, but that totally made me ticked off.

Where does he get the nerve!

"Shut up and sit!" I yelled.

Inuyasha hit the ground with a satisfying whump! as I turned to leave.

"Wait Kagome! " Inuyasha called, but I didn't care anymore. I was through with him.

That idiot. Who does he think he is? Why does Kikyo always have to come and ruin things!

Seeing her and Inuyasha together made me feel so forgotten. I didn't want to admit that I actually liked Inuyasha, but somehow, my feelings just got the better of me…I hate it when that happens.

And I hate lying. I lied to Sango and Miroku about going home. I didn't want to go home. Not yet anyway. I'm not sure if I could deal with the life of school. Well anyway, no sense in hanging around by the well…I might as well wander for a while. And yes I know it's stupid for me to wander around in this era, but I was blinded by adrenalin . I felt like I could take on anyone right now. Even Naraku…….Not that I wanted to take him on…I knew I would probably loose…

All that ran through my head as I walked back to the village. Kaede's village. It didn't feel right here. So quiet…

Well, since I didn't have my bike or any mode of transportation, I made my way over to the horse stable. No I'm not going to steal one. Just borrow it without asking…

I immediately found one I liked. A dapple grey. Pretty…………I didn't know where the saddles were, but I didn't need any. I could ride bareback. For the reins, I slid a rope halter onto my horse and tied a long string on either side of the halter. It was good enough. I made sure I had my backpack and my bow and arrow, hopped as gracefully as I could onto the horses back(without getting bit) and I was outta there. And somehow, I was never seen. No one knew I was fleeing towards the forest. That's good. I didn't want them to.

The track through the forest was quiet. So peaceful. I traveled a ways before I made camp for the night. I tied my horse up. I decided to call her Yuki. I mean, the name fits her. Then I went fishing. Luckly, I didn't have far to go until I got to a river. After a few failed attempts, I finally got a fish. I gathered the sticks and leaves to make a fire and fried the fish. Then ate it without much thought.

After that, I was tired. I unpacked my sleeping bag and layed it on the ground. Then using my backpack as a pillow, I fell into a deep sleep.

That night I dreamed. Terrible dreams. Nightmares you could call them. Of someone chasing me. I don't know who it was, but I do know I awoke in a cold sweat. And I had a hard time getting back to sleep.

Morning brought fear to me. Something was going to happen. I didn't know what, but something bad was going to happen. I packed up camp and hopped up on Yuki and rode off.

What is this feeling? What does t mean? I guess I should never think and ride at the same time. Yuki gave a start and I was nearly unseated. I looked at over her head and saw a deer.

"It's okay, Yuki. It's only a deer." I told her, patting her neck. I know. I'm talking to a horse…..

The deer passed by and Yuki calmed down.

I was too absorbed in my own thought to notice another presence. I did not sense it until it was too late.

"Hello human." A voice said.

I looked up startled. Standing in front of Yuki and me, was Sesshomaru. Oh shit…I thought.

"Um…hi…um……………"I mumbled helplessly. I'm sure he could smell the fear in me. We stared at eachother for a few more seconds.

What do I do! He's gonna kill my! Someone help!

Very slowly, I pulled Yuki's head to the right. I hope Sesshomaru didn't notice what I was trying to do. Suddenly, I gave her a kick to make her gallop past him. I looked back at Sesshomaru to see if he would give a chase. No. he continued walking in the direction he was heading.

Well, that was a close one…

After the encounter with Sesshomaru, I became aware of my own feelings again. I still had that bad feeling that something was going to happen.

My suspicions were confirmed when I realized I had come face to face with an ogre. Why me? I wondered for the hundredth time that day.

As the ogre moved in to attack me, I loaded my bow and fired. I thought I hit the ogre, but it appears my arrow bounced off it. Oh shit…now I'm dead…Time to run.

I turned Yuki around(which wasn't easy to do, seeing as she was terrified) and ran in the opposite direction. If I would have remembered what had happened earlier, mabey I would have went a different way. But fear consumed me at that moment. And I was desperate for a way out of the mess I had gotten myself into. Well, here goes nothing. I thought…
