Disclaimer: Inuyasha and its characters are not mine there were created first by the marvelous brain of Rumiko Takahashi.
Kagome, betrayed by Inuyasha ran into the woods away from the campsite trying to head home. It seemed as if today her world had fallen apart. Letting the rain pelf like stinging blades upon her skin, she struggled not to remember.
Flashback:
As Kagome walked through the underbrush to relieve her stress, she heard the muffled sound of Inuyasha's voice. Finding it curious that he was out here, she walked towards the voice. Crouching down behind a bush, she peeked through the leaves and felt her heart skip a beat in horror.
Inuyasha stood in the small copse of trees hugging the dead priestess Kikyo to himself rather closely. Kagome felt hot tears well up in her eyes as she felt the pain of his betrayal. His next words drove the pain of it more deeply inside of her than his actions.
Inuyasha caressed Kikyo's face as he smiled warmly at her.
"Kikyo. I love you more than anything." Raising her head, Kikyo smiled a wicked smile.
"More even, than my incarnation?"
Inuyasha paused only for a moment before leaning down and capturing her cold dead lips in a kiss before whispering against her mouth.
"More than that stupid girl. She lacks your power and beauty; she is merely a shard detector to me…
End Flashback:
Shaking her head she cried out in the dark.
"How could I have been so stupid? Of course it was Kikyo he loved, who could have thought that a stupid shard detector like me could ever gain his love!"
Feeling a new wave of tears flow through her, she ran blindly through the brush getting her clothing caught on branches as the bushed and trees cut her tender skin.
After what seemed like hours of running, Kagome collapsed to the ground tired and short of breath. Her legs were ridden with small cuts, and a large gash parted the skin of her thigh from where she had tripped over a root in her frenzy. Her eyes still glistened with tears to come as the ones she was already shedding streamed down her face and hit the ground with soft pattering noises.
Feeling the cold round shape of the shikon-no-tama in her hand, she clutched it tightly to herself as she crawled under the roots of a rather large tree. She hoped the demons would not easily sense her presence as she rested for a short while.
While Kagome rested fitfully beneath the tree, the time slowly passed as the sky darkened more deeply and the clouds split with a harsh delude of rain that seemed to choke the earth.
