Chained Heart
Chapter 1
Kagome was walking through the forest searching for some medicinal herbs, when she happened across Kikyo. Kikyo was lying face down on the ground, her soul collectors circling around her. "Kikyo! What happened?" Kagome exclaimed. "K-Kagome, take me to Inuyasha." Kikyo pleaded. "Of course," with that Kagome put Kikyo arm around her neck, and hauled her to where the group were camping at.
When Inuyasha saw the two girls, "Kikyo!" Inuyasha exclaimed, then turning to Kagome ,"Kagome what happened!" Inuyasha growled. Kagome couldn't help but feel slightly hurt at that. "I don't know, I just found her on the ground." Inuyasha looked at her suspiciously, he then took Kikyo from Kagome and layed her down, on Kagome's sleeping bag. The rest of the group looked at oddly. "Why is Inuyasha acting so harshly towards Kagome?" Shippo asked Miroku, "I honestly don't know, but hopefully he stops acting like that soon, before he breaks Kagome's heart.
"Kagome! You know the cure right?" Inuyasha barked. "I don't know," "Damn it Kagome! Then find out! She looks poisoned so start there!" Kagome stepped back at Inuyasha's harsh words. "Hurry up Kagome! Kikyo's dying and you're standing there like an idiot!" Kagome then walked over to Kikyo and examined her. She tried different herbs, she even tried to purify it, but to no avail. She looked at Inuyasha, "I can't cure it." Tears were starting to appear in her eyes.
"WHAT! What do you mean you can't cure it! Kagome she's going to die you know that! And you're not even trying! You just want Kikyo dead! I can't believe you Kagome! You disgust me! Get out of my sight Kagome, I don't even want to look at you! JUST GO AWAY!" Kagome stood up, then started to back away, then she ran. She ran as fast as her legs could carry her. A trail of tears followed her.
Inuyasha came out of a daze to hear, "Inuyasha how could you say that! She really was trying to find a way to save Kikyo. How could you say that to her!" Sango yelled at him. "Yeah Inuyasha, why don't you go and think about what you just said, because that was despicable." Miroku said coldly. "Yeah, that was way worse than anything that Naraku would do." Shippo added. Inuyasha getting the hint he went away.
Kagome was still running when she bumped into someone, and was about to fall over when that person caught her. "I'm sorry, are you ok?" it was a deep, handsome, masculine voice who spoke to her. Kagome looked up to see a handsome man, "Hey, are you ok? What happened to make such a beautiful lady cry?" Kagome tried to wipe her tears away she decided that it was pointless. "It's nothing, it doesn't matter." "But it does matter, why would you be crying if it weren't." The man hugged her, Kagome hugged back, she didn't care if he might try to hurt her, she just wanted someone to make her feel better.
After Kagome's tears stopped, the two decided to sit on a log and eat the food that Toge had made before he found her. "My name is Toge, and may I ask yours?" the man told her. He really was handsome; he was just a little older than Kagome, maybe by a year or two. He had tousled dark brown hair and deep dark green eyes. He wore a dark blue kimono, with a sword strapped to his side. "My name is Kagome." "Kagome, that is a beautiful name. Say, Kagome, you look like someone who is quite skilled at archery." "How did you know? But actually I am quite awful at archery." "Well, I could always help you out." "Really? That would be amazing! Thank you!" Kagome's eyes sparkled, she loved archery, but she knew she would never be better than Kikyo. Toge picked up a bow and a pack of arrows and handed them to her. "here, how about you just shoot an arrow so I can see what to teach you?" Kagome shot an arrow. "Very good, but let me help you on the next one." He placed his arms around Kagome to help her with the next one. Little did she know, that someone else was watching the pair.
