She was breathing heavily as she ran, now. She would have to stop soon. But she couldn't stop. They'd catch her if she did. She needed to get away. Far far away.
Kagome had been kidnapped by Naraku with the jewel only half finished. He managed to hold her there for almost two years before she escaped. The guards had grown lazy, she had stopped trying to escape and they had lowered their guard too.
She had to find Inuyasha. He was her only chance of survival.
Kagome wondered if the whole gang was still together. What had happened while she was gone? Did Inuyasha find someone else to replace her miko powers? Did they complete the jewel? Would they even recognize poor Kagome now?
Kagome's hair had been cut to a little bit above shoulder length and was now pulled into a high ponytail, and her clothes had been burned. She was dressed in a kimono that was a combination of what Kanna's and Kagura's looked like.
She also wondered about her mother, grandpa and Sota. They still lived in the shrine? Right? Had they stopped expecting her to come home? Would they even recognize her? What was grandpas excuse for her absences this time?
She would have to find the answers to all of her questions. If only she could get out of this forest and find Inuyasha. Or even Sango or Miroku. They'd be able to protect her against the guards that were only fit to battle poor little Kagome.
Kagome's skin had become pale and she had grown very weak. Sitting in a small room doing nothing but eating, sleeping and occasionally, bathing. The guards could take her, no problem. But chances were they couldn't take on any one of her friends as they were now.
Kagome tripped over a stray tree root as she ran and fell to her knees.
"Shit!" She gasped breathlessly. Not knowing if she had enough strength to pick herself back up and run again.
Amazingly, she did. She continued to run again as she could hear the gruff voices of the guards calling after her harshly.
She decided to change direction and run to the right a little more. Maybe they'd just expect her to keep going straight ahead and they wouldn't turn this way? Kagome was being careful to leave as little proof that she had been there as possible. But it was kinda hard to keep track of where you were going while running away.
She was chased. Hunted even, at the moment. She had to run faster. She couldn't hear the guards behind her anymore, but that didn't mean they weren't there.
Very suddenly, she came out into a clearing. A very large clearing. Well, it wasn't exactly a clearing. The woods had ended in that direction and she had come across a village on the outskirts of the woods. A very familiar village. Kagome sighed gratefully. 'Now to get to one of the huts...' she thought to herself, coaxing herself along.
Some children were outside playing and after having seen Kagome, they dove inside, some crying "A demon! A demon!"
"I'm not a demon..." Kagome whispered. More to comfort herself than anything.
She saw a figure with white hair dive out of a hut, and she wanted to fall to her knees. "Inuyasha." She whispered.
"Who are you demon?! Who are you to know me?!" He said with out thinking. He smelled the air. That was no demon! "...Kagome...?" He said quietly, then rushed to her side and hugged her fiercely.
"Inuyasha... I escaped..." She whispered, and fainted into his arms.
