Ch.1

Kagome had seen Inuyasha with Kikyo again, but this time it was different. This time she couldn't go back no matter what and she was aimlessly running through the woods tears blinding her eyesight.

Flashback

Kagome saw that Inuyasha was once again gone but this time she was very reluctant about going because she knew it would only result in her own result in her own misery, but she knew it would only result worse if she didn't go! She got up and followed the soul collectors, or to be more precise Kikyo's soul collectors, to their destination, the sacred god tree, or to be more precise Goshinboku. That is where she listened to their conversation carefully. Inuyasha was kissing Kikyo when he moved and started to nuzzle her neck. Kikyo tried to put in "Inu… yasha!" "Yes love!" "What about my reincarnation doesn't she mean anything to you?" "No, she is nothing more than a shard detector." "Then after I become your mate will you help me get my soul back?" " Of course I will, Kikyo." After that Kagome turned and ran and didn't stop running until she fell from a misplaced root.

End Flashback

When she fell she skinned her knees but didn't even feel the pain because the impact on her heart. She didn't stop crying even when she saw the tall figure in front of her stop. When he spoke up she instantly recognized the voice. " Inuyasha's wench don't you know any better, standing here unprotected will get you killed." "Don't you ever mention me and that Bastard's name in the same sentence as me." He then grabbed her by the throat and had her pinned up against the tree. "Don't you ever raise your voice to me unless you wish for an early grave." He didn't expect her to say what she said next. "Go ahead, kill me, make my day, it's not like I can go back anyways." He was tempted to do it but something wouldn't let him. "What are you talking about, miko?" "None of your business, so hurry up and kill me or just leave me to die, I don't care." "There are far more things worse than death, miko." "Yeah, like what.?" "Keep talking to me like this and you'll soon find out." "See if I care." So he slapped her so hard she fell unconscious. He picked her up and made his way back to his castle. While she slept he went to his study to ponder about why he had taken her with him when he could've easily killed her and put her out of her misery. Yet he could only come up to the conclusion that whenever he had left there would be someone for Rin to play with instead of "play" with Jaken. It had been three days and the miko still had not woken up he suspected that he had hit her to hard. He was going to check on her like he did every day since she had gotten here. He went in and noticed no change but when he was about to close the door he heard her groan and he turned around. Just as he did she slid her eyes open. But as soon as she did they were closed again.
