Chapter 1
InuYasha growled, baring his fangs. He had no sense of where he was or what he was doing there. All he knew was that some puny little human girl was begging for mercy. Heh, He wouldn't give it to her! She should no better than to beg from a demon. In one slash she was on the floor bleeding profusely, her body shaking and words barely audible. He turned around triumphantly to see her again. What? Hadn't he just disposed of her? He swung his claws once again but when he cut through, her flesh felt harder, more crumbly, almost like dirt.
She fell again as he slowly turned looking for more enemies, more prey. A horrified monk threw a rusty looking sword at him. As the hilt touched his finger tips Inuyasha came to his senses. He looked at his hands and saw bright crimson blood. He began to look around. His eyes caught a familiar glimpse of a white kimono, but something was different. This time the beautiful white was splattered with red. Reality hit him. Oh no!!! He thought. My demon blood caused me to hurt Kikyo. He immediately knew what he had to do. He took a quick glance at Sango and Miroku. They seemed absorbed in something else. He began to look for Kagome but thought it would be better if she didn't see. She gets so jealous some times. Inuyasha walked up to Kikyo and gently lifted her limp body. He then walked away into the forest to look for some place he could nurse her back to health. It was, after all, his fault she was hurt.
