LoL Don't forget, reviews, and, CONSTRUCTIVE criticism only please

Chapter 1; Surprise?

"InuYasha, we're all tired, so why don't we stop and set up camp for tonight," Kagome said. "Yes, that's a good idea Kagome, that way we can search longer tomorrow." Sango said, inputting her comment on the idea. "No way!" Inuyasha exclaimed. "We have to continue or the puny wolf demon will get to Naraku first!"

"So what?" Kagome said defiantly. "So what if he gets there first? And Kouga is not a puny wolf."

"I want to be able to kill Naraku, for Kikyo's sake," He said softly, his eyes now on the ground. Kagome's anger fizzled out and unclenched her hands, her eyes dropping to her feet as she felt an invisible hand squeeze her heart.

"Oh, I see," she said softly. She willed herself not to cry in front of him. I've already shed enough tears for him. She thought. Placing a fake smile upon her face, she looked up at Sango who was still on Kirara's back.

"Can I ride with you, Sango?" Kagome asked. Sango nodded and casually shoved Miroku off of Kirara. "Hey!" He protested, rubbing his head. "You can run with InuYasha, Kagome will ride with me," Sango said. Miroku sighed and stood up. "Alright," He said. "Thank you," Kagome said quietly as she got upon Kirara's back. Their short journey was silent and awkward. Whenever Inuyasha caught a glimpse of Kagome, she averted her gaze from his, down to the ground passing by so swiftly.

Inuyasha was beginning to wonder what was wrong, and if he had been the cause of it.

"Lets stop here," Sango said, breaking the awkward silence that emanated from Inuyasha and Kagome.

Inuyasha nodded and slowed to a stop as Kirara landed.

Kagome quietly got off of Kirara, not uttering a word to anyone as she started to unpack the contents in her big yellow backpack. "Did you bring anything for me?" Shippo asked as he hopped up onto Kagome's shoulder. "I made something just for you, I hope you'll enjoy them, Shippo," Kagome said as she reached into her bag and pulled out a small package of chocolate-chip cookies.

"Here you go Shippo." She said, handing him the cookies.

"Thank you, Kagome." He said before he took one out and taking a bite out of it.

Kagome stood and looked around, noticing that Inuyasha was missing. "Does anyone know what happened to Inuyasha?" She asked. "No, he was here not too long ago, I didn't even realize that he was missing," Sango said.

Suddenly, Kagome spotted Kikyo's oh-so-familiar soul collectors and instantly knew where Inuyasha was. I can't take this anymore, She thought. I mean, I love him, but, he loves Kikyo, he'd never return my love.

Kagome swiftly began packing up her bag, leaving things for the others, before she grabbed her bag and blindly ran into the woods, hoping that the path she chose would lead her to her way home.

A/N: Yes, I know, it's a short chapter. Anyways, I need at least 5 reviews before I post the next chapter. So, please review, or you will have an unhappy author who won't post the next chapter is she doesn't get the reviews she needs. XP
