She wouldn't be able to hold her brother in her arms.
Nor see her mother's eyes.
She was to leave.
Pretend it was all a fantasy that developed in her mind.
She waited, hope still alive in her heart.
The day she thought she would be saved.
"Go Kagome" Her eyes filled with tears. Why were they doing this to her? They were supposed to wait until they could all escape. It wasn't supposed to be this way. Naraku and his minions would obviously not be easy to defeat, but there had to be another way.
Earlier this week she would have thought nothing was wrong. She didn't listen to her feelings and never questioned why the sacred well seemed to have a menacing glow to it these past few days. Everyone had noticed, but kept quiet, thinking that the aura of evil would go away if they didn't acknowledged its presence.
Even with all the signs, no one could have thought Naraku and three of his reincarnations would smash down the front door of the Higurashi's home. The sharp pain behind her head had sent Kagome into the world of darkness before she could even whisper the demons name.
Now after an hour of discussing ways to escape, they all decided what was to be done.
"Go." "But…"
"No buts Kagome, you're the only one who can get help. You are the only one who can get Inuyasha and the others. You have the best chance to escape!"
Crystal tears flooded down her cheeks. What if it didn't work? What if Naraku came while she was gone and did something horrible to her family? It wasn't nearly so easy as it seemed to be. No matter how near she was to freedom, she could not leave her family to a dark fate in her room, at the hands from her arch-nemesis. "No, I can't go and leave you guys here. I just can't." "You have to do it sweetie. Your brother, and I depend on you. You have to get Inuyasha. You have to get us help." Mrs. Higurashi begged her daughter, tears barely held back as she whispered fiercely.
It had to be done. She could not stand her mother's tears, nor the pain in her eyes. She just had to do it.
She took a look outside her bedroom window. Two of Naraku's demons guarded the entrance of the house. She knew that one was inside the house as well as Naraku. Taking her bow and arrows she aimed for the one farther off; he would probably give off less noise because of the distance.
She aimed and fired. And she did not miss.
The demon disintegrated quickly and to Kagome's relief, silently.
However, when she shot her other sacred arrow, she didn't have that much luck. The hideous incarnation gave a horrible scream of agony and fell to the floor yelling his master's name.
"We need to go, and we need to go now!"
