I do not own InuYasha or any of the characters used in this story.
Chapter 1- In The Beginning
She had to admit that this time she was in over her head. There she was face to face with death and no one was going to come and save her. This wasn't going to be like all the other times when he would show up just in the nick of time, there to get her out of whatever trouble she had gotten herself into. No. Not this time. Poor InuYasha. He was probably clear to the core of the Earth using all of his most colorful phrases, all directed at her of course. She had sat him to kingdom come and then some. However she hadn't stuck around to hear him voice his opinion on the matter. Stubbornly she huffed and walked away not paying attention to the direction she chose.
The thing that flashed across her mind as she was being hurled around like a sack of potatoes was what it was exactly that she had gotten so upset about. No doubt something stupid, as always like him calling her a stupid wench or pathetic human. Yet that is exactly what she was at that moment, a pathetic human, and one who was about to lose her life and had no one to hold concern to it. Of course she had Sango, Miroku, and good old Shippou, but they were not on her mind at that moment.
As she lay there groveling over how pathetic she was she could see the pools of blood that had formed by her lifeless body. How did my life come to this, what did I ever do to deserve any of this? WHY ME?!?
Just then she noticed that her attacker was staring at her in bewilderment. Why had she just let him beat on her. Never once letting out a cry, she just took every beating, and believe me he wasn't holding back. So why hadn't she called for him. WHY?
As she let out her last breath one word escaped her pale lips.SIT.
A cry could be heard some distance away. This sound brought a smirk to his face; even in death she defied him. Just then something unexpected happened. Tenssaiga.it pulsed. Sesshoumaru looked down at the lifeless body that lay before him wondering why his sword had called out to him. This so-called gift from his father was becoming a nussense. This was not the first time it had called for him to save a mere human's life.
Torn by his decision and the quickening pulse of the Tenssaiga he grabbed the useless sword and swung it at the girl's body. He didn't care to stick around since he knew what the outcome would be. As he turned to leave something grabbed his leg sending shivers up his body. What was this, this sensation.how? As he turned to look still holding a stoic face making sure not to show his shock, he saw the girl staring up to him with hollow eyes.Arigito was the only thing that escaped her lips and he watched mesmerized as her eyes began to fill with the warmth that they once held. A small nod was all she received in return and with that she released her grasp on him.
She stood up with her back against a tree slowly breathing in the crisp autumn air, where had the summer gone? Her wondering mind was cut short when a cry could be heard a short distance away. With that Sesshoumaru began his retreat, he did not care to associate himself with what just happened.
KAGOME!!!!!!!!!!! KAGOME WHERE ARE YOU!!! The pursing scream disrupted the calm quietness that filled the forest. So he had come for her after all, a bit to late though she thought as she slowly opened her eyes. The first thing she saw was two beautiful golden eyes staring back at her. Although they were cold and emotionless she could have sworn that she saw a glimmer flash across them when he heard her name. Without a second glance he was gone.gone like a dream from the night.
'Kagome, yes I have heard him call her that before.' So that was her name, the one that Tenssaiga insisted him saving. This thought infuriated him, he could feel his blood begin to boil and with that he retreated deep into the forest.
