Unexpected Events

Chap1: Broken Beginning

All she could feel was overwhelming pain, her bones were probably badly bruised- luckily, they were not broken. The world did not care for her enough to let her stay unconscious a little longer, so there she is- coming back to her self, a long with all of her memories. Sometimes life can be a real bitch.

How did it start? She doesn't know, doesn't really care. It's not like anyone is going to want to come for her- as if. Usually her silver haired-pal would barge in at the perfect moment and rescue her from the big-bad-wolf, or rather the big bad spider? Not this time though.

Why? Half because he probably doesn't even know she's at Naraku's clutches, she did run off on him after all, and half because he's too busy with that clay-pot-soul-stealer that calls her self Kikiyou. I can't believe I'm her incarnate. It's not exactly flattering to be sharing a soul with a grudge-holding mummy from hell, literally. Sure she might have been a big hearted, big eyed sweet little Miko at some point in life- even though that is hard to believe.

Where is that do-gooder now? Ruining Kagome's love life, that's where! And Inu-Baka is off no help by submitting to her cold flirtation, her emotionless-eyes and her hollow words that hold as much meaning as the math homework she left in her locker 500years in to the future.

It all started just like anything else would, she woke up in her way too comfortable sleeping bag that was set on a million of little rocks that hold only one purpose in this confusing void we call the universe, and that purpose is to give Kagome back aches. Sango was scurried off in a corner somewhere, probably protecting her back side even in her sleep. Her monk-buddy was on the other end of the campsite, babying his very red face- also in his sleep. Shippo was cuddled in her sleeping bag somewhere, using his tail as a fluffy blanket oblivious to the torture-pebbles.

There was one thing off with this scene, there was no annoying hanyou nestled in a tree. Not that she could tell, anyway. Being the good sport that she is, Kagome decided to go look for the missing member of her dysfunctional family.

So after (unwillingly) crawling out of her painful but very warm sleeping bag, she grudgingly toddled to where ever her aching legs would take her. After what seemed like a million years of very unwelcome and excruciating walking, she heard a very familiar voice, well muffled sounds. Her legs took her towards the place where the muffled sounds were coming from. Another voice was joined the first. The second one belonged to a creepy lady called Kikiyou.

Even though everybody would expect her to run off crying, the miko was long used to Inuyasha and Ms. Clay-Head meeting at ungodly hours, not that she welcomed these meetings but there was also little Kagome could do. She usually didn't get upset, her and the Hanyou would just argue back and forth for no reason, he'd call her stupid and get his head smashed in to the dirt a few times. Apparently, ramen isn't the only thing he enjoys for dinner.

Oh how she wished this was one of those times, but her luck decided to take a hike when she needed it. Which was like, now. Or at least the will power to not claw her own eyes out. The sight in front of her was quite disturbing, and heart breaking to say the least.

The woman who holds a part of Kagome's soul was lying on the floor, her raven hair flowing around in the grass, eyes closed and a smile graced upon her cunning lips. The cause of her happiness was crouching on top of her in a red blur with the legendary fang at his hip. His nose pressed against hers. His amber eyes glowing with love, true love. The king you read about in books, and see in movies. The kind she desperately wanted from him.

Kikiyou had everything Kagome wanted, and yet- she could not entirely hate her. Since she had Inuyasha first, and Kagome was in the wrong time to begin with. That didn't make the pain in her heart any less though, if anything it made it much, much more.

It broke her that despite Kikiyou's empty heart and lack of warmth, Inuyasha loved her with all he had. It ruined her even more because she would have to kill the object of his desires to get her whole soul back to properly wield the Shikon no Tama in the final battle. How does she choose between the happiness of her love, and the life of so many others?

At the same time, maybe his rejection could be a start of something new- something different, maybe her healing process could start from the major break point. Now that she knows he doesn't want her, maybe she can recover the shattered pieces of her heart. But she can't do it by looking at his face day in and day out, she can't do it while listening to his words. It'll have to start by dispatching herself from his protection, and trying to make it on her own.

"Sit." She mumbled- nearly inaudibly, almost a whisper.

Inuyasha's face collided with the ground, he was about to let out a colourful chain of words at his all-too-brave-miko, but the look in her eyes told him otherwise. She looked so wrecked; he dreaded being the cause of it.

"Inuyasha, I need to you to listen to me. Please, I need to separate my self from you. It breaks me too much to see you with that woman, it breaks me to see you loving her despite of all she has done too you," Kagome paused, took a deep breath in a futile attempt to calm her nerves, "I selfish as this might sound, but no matter what happens- don't come to find me, you have everyone else to help you look for the shards. I'll continue the search on my own until I am ready to face you again…" she swallowed her tears, "promise me this."

When the miko finished what she had to say, she unhurriedly turned her back towards her best friend and hung her head in shame. The hanyou was dumbfounded, he opened and closed his mouth a few times, his vocal chords were refusing to let any sound pass through, after some time he managed to gasp out sounds that vaguely resemble a "I promise." And watched as the female he swore to protect walked away from him.

--------------------------------------------------

Kagome returned to the camp with as little sound as her human reflexes can allow, trying to collect her belongings. With hesitation she started walking off- only to look back at her friends, an enormous amount of guilt started over whelming her.

I need to write a note. That's the least she could do- she was leaving her friends with out a word, after all. The young girl scrambled for some paper and a pen, and scribbled a note for Sango that conveyed miserable attempts of explaining her sudden departure. Sango would understand, she always did.

Placing the note beside Sango's sleeping bag she finally left, this time way too scared to look back at the life she was leaving- something told her this might be a permanent arrangement

-----------------------------------------------

Traveling for so many hours at a time wasn't hard for her, after all Inuyasha forced that onto her daily, a long with the rest of the companions, but there was something extremely lonely about traveling all alone- at night too. She couldn't stop though, she had to put some distance between herself and the rest of the group.

Kagome's mind was so preoccupied that she didn't notice the shadow stalking her around- until it was too late. The shadow leaped out at her and she plummeted to the ground hitting her head. The Priestess' eyes rolled back and she took a deep, very painful gasp. Naraku It was too late though, she was at his clutches and no silver-haired-dog-boy is going to be saving her this time.

Yes, yes...sorry for the cliffy and the crappy first chapter, I don't even know where the hell I am going with this, but stick around and maybe you'll find out? (I'm kind off curious too.)

I will not bother posting the next chapter unless you people review, so you might as well. :

Sorry for the chappy's shortness.
