The Stranger
Tears streamed down her tender cheeks and she put her head into her knees. ' I don't know what I was thinking.' she thought as she stabbed her bloody sword into the grassy field she was sitting in. Blood was flowing out from her open wounds onto the ground surrounding her in it. ' He would never remember me after all these years.' She slowly raised her head from her feeble position and saw a youki coming strait for her. She grabbed her sword out of the earth as her blood dripped down her legs. She raised her sword above her head, ready for battle… no matter the ending result.

" Hey! " Kagome yelled coming out of the well.
" Hi Kagome! " Sango happily replied.
Kagome had been gone for a week, but she has finally returned from home. Sango and Kagome walked through Inuyasha's forest talking as usual. It was always so cold and dark in that forest. They walked towards Lady Kaede's hut.
Inuyasha was sitting in a tree near the hut. As he looked out in the distance and saw the two girls walking up appearing in the mid-day's mist. ' Feh…the wench is back. ' He thought.
Kagome approached the old wooden hut, when she felt a thump against her stomach. She looked down, and smiled to only see a small kitsune.
" Kagome, you're back! Yah! " Shippo yelled.
" Nice to see you too Shippo. " She smiled as she pried the young kitsune off her.
Inuyasha made a faint growl that only Shippo could hear.
Miroku stepped out of the hut. He walked towards the gathered group.
" Good to see you have returned Kagome. " Miroku said as he entered a conversation with Sango.
Inuyasha ignorantly said, " It's about time wench, you take long enough?"
" SIT! " Kagome yelled
Inuyasha started to mumble to himself.
After the sit wore off, Kaede appeared from the house " Ye should come in before ye catchith cold. " She motioned for everyone to come in.
When they got inside, Kagome looked up at Inuyasha and sweetly said "O Inuyasha."
" What is it wench! " he said in an irritable voice, obviously still pissed about the sit.
" Oh… I was just thinking, if you don't want me here, maybe I should just return to my home and take the ramen with me! " She said in a very devious voice, almost proud.
" Feh…you wouldn't. " As he said that Kagome walked out the door.
" Wait! " Inuyasha yelled, " Um…good you're back. " He muttered and cringed as he said it. Miroku and Sango both smirked at this statement coming from Inuyasha's foul mouth.
It was already late in the day; the sun had already set behind the service of the trees. Everyone decided it was best to get some sleep, because it was back to jewel shard hunting the next day.
Inuyasha sat up against the wall until everyone was asleep. Once they were, he looked down at Kagome. She was sleeping peacefully and quiet.
' Why can't I ever show her how I feel? ' Inuyasha thought. ' Wait, no! She is nothing more than a shard detector! ' He was having an argument in his own mind. 'But she has always been so kind to me even when I'm being a jerk. No! She is just another pitiful human who is worthless; I'm always saving her. Maybe that's why she needs me…I don't know.' Kagome turned a little in her sleep. Inuyasha smiled a very faint smile. ' She'll never love a hanyou like me.'
As Inuyasha was contemplating his thoughts, he stopped and sniffed the cool nights air. "Blood?" Inuyasha then listened hard and heard a fight going on in the distance. *CRASH*
A figure fell through the top of the roof and crashed to the ground. " What the…" the group said as they all jumped up from the hard floor where they had been sleeping. They all moved towards one side of the room to await the figure appearance. Inuyasha stepped forward to see who it was but a youki then flew down the hole that the figure had fell down, the youki had his sword pointed towards the direction of the figure. The smoke from the ground was too hard to see through, but the shadow of the youki's sword went through the figure three different times.
The musky smoke was still rising, but not fading. A hand reached up from the ground and grabbed the youki's throat. The youki whispered, " You dirty human." Inuyasha ears flinched at this remark, but it seemed he was the only one who heard it. The figure grabbed the youki's sword and said " You pathetic youki! Your just a waste of life!" Then the figure decapitated the youki. It took a minute, but the figure arose from the dirt, put the sword away in its case, and stood up. The figure slowly hobbled over towards the group.
The figure was a girl that looked a little bit older that Kagome did. She had long flowing light brown hair. She was of fair skin and had a beautiful face. Also, she was wearing a kimono on that was meant for fighting. By the look of her she seemed to have a lot of fighting experience. As she walked closer towards the group, it was visible to see that she was limping and had severe cuts all over her body. She was losing a lot of blood. She fell to her knees, but shook her had and got back up…even though you could tell the pain was excruciating… she did nothing about it.
Kagome was the first to speak to her " You need treatment! Let me help you!" Kagome ran over to her, but the girl motioned her off. " But… you… your…hurt!" Kagome said in a worried voice.
" Don't worry, I'm fine…" the girl said. Even though Kagome still had a worried expression.
" What's your name?" Miroku asked.
" It doesn't matter, I won't be staying." The girl coldly responded. She grabbed a small pouch that was hanging from the sword's case. She opened it up and there was money in it. She poured some out into her bloody hands, and then slowly gave it to Kagome. " Here." This should well over pay for the damages my fight has caused. Keep the rest for yourself." Then she closed the pouch and struggled to walk out the door as blood dripped from her arms, legs, and upper body. She was in terrible condition. She went down the creaky stairs and headed towards the dark atmosphere.
" Wait." Inuyasha surprisingly commanded to the girl.
" What now?" She yelled, not amused by another delay.
" Listen don't follow me when I go and talk with her." Inuyasha told the group.
" But…" Kagome said with a confused tone to her, but Miroku stopped her.
" Maybe he can get her to stay to get medical attention." Miroku whispered to Kagome. Kagome backed down and just stared off at them.
Inuyasha jumped over the stairs where she was. She seemed very irritated. The cool wind blew around them and the moon shined brightly. Inuyasha walked towards her.
" What is up with you?" Inuyasha said broadly
"Nothing!" she snapped not liking that he kept her out here for this.
" Why aren't you letting anyone help you?!?" Inuyasha, who was starting to get irritated,
" What do you care?" she asked, as she looked him directly in the eyes.
" I don't!" but when he met her eyes, all he could see was pain and anger. ' I've seen her from somewhere, but from where.' Inuyasha lowered his tone and said to her " Listen, I was just saying, I heard that youki say that you were a human. You've lost a lot of blood whether you want to admit it or not. Even with your strength you wont make it far in this condition."
" You're right, I'm just another human, but I don't like to bother others with my problems." She said in a weak voice. She then fell to one knee and her fist was on the ground trying to support her. She rose her head and looked at him and said in a very faint voice " I'm sorry…I…I…didn't want to bo..ther..you… with me." She fell to the cold ground and passed out as her blood started to soak the ground.
