I don't own InuYasha I'm just a fan too! The idea for this fic came from a song by Keisha Coles; I won't say which one but see if you can guess. Enjoy!

Rescue Me

Chapter One: Letter of Lost Love

&&&&&&&&&&&&

Kagome waved to her mother as the train pulled off into the misty morning. Her mom was mouthing something that looked like 'I love you' but it was impossible to hear over the rumble of the train as it started to move.

"Bye," Kagome whispered to herself knowing her family couldn't hear her. She sighed and leaned on the window pane. The ride to Tokyo would be a few hours but to someone who was trying to escape their past it seemed nothing less then a few years.

Kagome felt tears rimming her eyes and she wiped them away furiously. She was doing the right thing. Mom promised he wouldn't be able to hurt me anymore, she told herself it's all going to be over.

The door of Kagome's cabin slid open as a woman with dark brown hair poked her head inside.

"Hello love," The woman said happily. Her hair bounced in a mass of curls as she smiled, "I'm the train attendant; I just need to see your ticket for a moment."

"Oh," Kagome picked up her backpack and opened the front pocket. She dug around for her ticket and then handed it to the attendant.

The woman smiled again and then nodded, "Everything seems to be okay here – oh my, what on earth happened to your arm?"

Kagome glanced at her outstretched arm and pulled it back close to her chest, "It's nothing," she said with a forced smile.

The attendant sat down next to Kagome and gently held out her hand. Kagome hesitated at the thought of letting her see it again but decided to show the attendant so she wouldn't cause anymore unwanted attention.

"This is a lot of nothing love." The attendant breathed. Her face had a mixture of sadness and questioning.

Kagome looked down at her arm too. On her wrist was a slightly large oval sized bruise. The bruise had risen since the last time she'd looked at it and it was now a bluish purple.

"I live in Kanazawa at a temple with my parents." Kagome lied "I was moving some tablets when I slipped and one the tablet landed on my wrist."

The attendant nodded, but Kagome was unsure weather her story was believable, "You poor thing, it looks a mess."

"I know, I just did it this morning. Clumsy me!" Kagome laughed uneasily.

The woman nodded again and rose slowly, "When we stop in Osaka I'll make sure to get you some proper bandages."

With that being said the attendant turned and left. Kagome let out a sigh of relief and pulled the sleeve of her shirt over her arm. She glanced at the spot where her bruise was and winced. Koga didn't mean to do it. They had been arguing and he accidently grabbed her.

Kagome shook her head, her long black hair dangling in her face "That's bullshit." She muttered. She was angry at herself for believing her boyfriend's lies, angry that she had fallen in love with such a bastard. She tried to remember when they had first gotten together. Koga was so sweet and gentle with her. He had treated her like his princess and he was the prince to her fairytale.

Those days were long gone they had vanished when he started changing. Kagome couldn't even remember the last time Koga had held her and told her he loved her. The last time he mentioned growing up to marry her…

Kagome was disgusted for believing she could make things work with Koga. The truth was she didn't love him anymore. She knew he didn't love her either. Why be together?

The answer was simple, she was afraid of him. Koga had made it clear, "You can't leave me Kagome. If you do, I'll go crazy. There's nothing worse then a crazy heartbroken demon…one who is not afraid to kill."

His words echoed loosely in her head. He had said it so simply and yet his eyes had shown such seriousness.

Kagome reached into her back pack and pulled out a blue spiral notebook. It was almost like a diary she had started to relieve stress. She usually wrote poems and little notes, sometimes letters to herself, reminding her Koga only did the things he did because he was afraid of loosing her and he did love her.

Kagome picked up her pencil and opened the notebook to a clean page. She set the notebook on her lap and allowed herself to think.

It was time for a change.

&&&&&&&&&&&&

Kagome had been staring at her paper for almost ten minutes trying to figure out how to start. She wrote down Koga's name, the erased it in frustration. He would know the letter was for him without her having to say so.

She took a deep breath and closed her eyes. Come on Kagome, you have to do this she told herself. Kagome opened her eyes again and put the point of the pencil on her paper. The words came to her in an instant.

"Been sitting thinking, about you and I am

Wondering why we're not getting along. I'm so frustrated because what we had was a happy home. I don't know what the situation is but I can tell in the way we kiss. We don't take no more…it feels better when I'm alone."

Kagome paused and reread her words. She knew Koga would be furious with this but it was her time to be strong. She needed to explain.

"Sometimes it feels like there's no getting through to you. Like you don't appreciate all that I do. You got to show me that you want me to stay, don't turn and walk away. Baby I'm slowly falling out of love with you. I don't know what to do. How did we end up here this way? What are we going to do? I know that I'll we've both made mistakes. You're trippin on silly things, but I need you to meet me half way if you want me to be with you. You let your pride get in the way of something we've worked so hard you threw it away. I've been trying to make you see everything you need was right here with me. I have to get away from you Koga. It's best for the two of us…"

Kagome tore the page from her notebook and folded it small enough to fit in an envelope. She put Koga's address on the front and wrote her seal in the corner. When the train stopped she would slip it in the OUT box of the mail shoot and it would be back to him by morning.

babiswag: this was a short chapter compared to what I usually write. The reason why is because I'm not completely sure I want to continue with this story. Kagome's on a train heading somewhere and it seems like her relationship with Koga has reached rock bottom but how will he take the news? Most importantly what will Kagome find when she gets off the train? A new life? A new love? Let know what you guys think!
