Chapter 1 Separation

"SIT!" THUMP were the two sounds that echoed through the valley. Even the men in the village stopped to look around at the disturbance. Since nothing immediately affected their fields, they ignored it and went back to work. "SIT SIT SIT SIT!" the young raven haired beauty yelled at the half-demon, who lay at her feet. The hole that encompassed his body grew deeper and deeper.

"Inuyasha you are such a jerk!" Kagome screamed as she turned to march off. Anger coursed through her because she slaved over a dinner made especially for the half-demon who decided to sniff it and turned up his nose. As she continued on muttering to herself, she stopped and turned. "Still, I might have been too harsh."

As she turned her head slightly to the side, she gasped as she sensed it. A shard of the Sacred Jewel. Instead of going back for her friends, she decided that it wouldn't hurt for her to go check it out. As she walked throughout the forest, she felt almost at home. In the short time that she had been with Inuyasha, she has grown to love the Feudal Era.

The trees gave way to a wide meadow with wild flowers. The wind whistled through making their scent reach her nose. She took a second to inhale the appeasing fragrance before turning her attention to the cave that sat at the end of the meadow. The meadow ended at the sheer rock that rose out of the Earth.

From the cave came the sound of a young child. Based off the voice, Kagome figured that the child must be between six and eight years old and most likely a female. She sounded scared but not hurt.

"I better check it out." She said to herself as she started walking to the cave. As soon as she entered, she felt the crushing demonic aura of Naraku.

As she gasped and turned towards the exit, she realized that it was already closed. She must be either in an illusion of Naraku's or something worse. After a moment's decision she decided to start walking through the cave. The rocks that made up the floor and the walls felt very real but she still hoped that it was just an illusion. Inuyasha had no idea where she was and there was no way for him to come to help her.
