Disclaimer- I DO NOT OWN INUYASHA. I DO own the story plot though.

Rated M for language and some scenes later on.

It was the same thing everyday. She would wake up only to find that everyone else was still asleep, everyone except for the one man she even thought about anymore... InuYasha was always gone in the mornings. He left every night after helping set up camp and eating and Kagome knew exactly where he went. He went to go see his former lover Kikyo. She was beautiful... Kagome couldn't deny that, but Kikyo was just the type of person Kagome could never get. Everytime they meet she is always different. She is always quiet but sometimes she is kind but other times she will do nothing but try to upset Kagome as much as possible. It never failed. Kagome was so pure hearted that she couldn't help but just take it. She couldn't bring herself to insult Kikyo. If she did, she knew InuYasha would find out and just be upset with her about it and she didn't want that. She would just take it like usual.

Getting up and stretching, Kagome got her large yellow bag and headed off to the stream to take care of her morning rituals. The water was only a foot deep but that was enough for now. Taking out her toothpaste and pink tooth brush, Kagome brushed her teeth and rinsed her mouth with the travel sized mouth wash her mother gave her. Washing off her face and putting deoderant on, Kagome stood up and started back to camp to get everyone up. Walking over to Sango and Kirara first, Kagome slightly shooke Sango awake and waited as the demon slayer fought to wake up. Everyone was so tired it was crazy. Moving over to Miroku and Shippo, Kagome woke them up and smiled as they both grunted and flipped over. Taking Miroku's staff from his grip, Kagome laughed as he jumpep up fast to get it back, as if he wasn't asleep to begin with.

"It never fails" laughing to herself again, Kagome left Shippo to Miroku and went over to her sleeping bag and packed it up in her over used bag. Setting everything to the side Kagome watched as everyone woke up and started doing their usual thing. Like every morning, Kagome took the extra time to stretch for what was sure to be a long travel ahead of them. Spreading her legs apart, Kagome leaned forward and gradded her feet and stayed like that for several seconds before moving both hands to her right foo, then switching to the left. After that, she put her feet together and moved them as close to her pelvis as possible and leaned forward, staying like so for severl more seconds. Standing up, Kagome reached down and touched the ground in front of her with out bending her knees. Taking deep, even breaths, she slowly walked her hands over to her right foot then to her left. Standing up, Kagome took one more deep breath and smiled when she saw everyone had been repeating what she had just done.

After some time, everyone had realized that InuYasha had finnaly showed up. Smiling at everyone, Kagome went straight to InuYasha's side and hugged him like every morning and just like every other time, InuYasha just grunted and pushed her aside. Shaking it off, Kagome took a deep breath to calm her nerves and decided to go for a walk and headed off into the woods. InuYasha would want to eat anyways so she had enough time to do so. Loving the scenery, Kagome got lost in her own thoughts so much so that she didn't even knkow where she was, and she had only been walking for about 5 minutes. Growling at her current position, Kagome sat down. InuYasha would show up sooner or later so she decided to just wait.

Hearing all the birds around was so calming to Kagome. Thats all she could hear until she heard a growl. Looking up into InuYasha's eyes Kagome smiled warmly.

"I am sorry! I got lost!" Studying InuYasha's face for any sign of anger, Kagome saw nothing but sadness.

"InuYasha? What is wrong?" Kagome noticed that his knees where shaking. Now more concerned, Kagome looked deep into his eyes and saw that something was very wrong. She also saw something she rarely saw. Tears. Now they where sliding down his face. Kagome didn't know what to do. InuYasha fell to his knees and Kagome ran to him in the middle of the clearing.

"InuYasha! Whats wrong?" Something was off about him and it was scaring her. He was deffantly sad. Was it Kikyo? Had she died? No, Kagome's knew that if she had, the part of her soul Kikyo stole would have returned to her by now... So what was it? Taking in a slow deep breath, InuYasha pulled away from Kagome's hold and looked her straight in the eyes.

"Kagome... I... You... You need to leave the group. You are doing nothing but slowing us down and I can't keep having to save you all the time. Kikyo will take your place." Kagome was speechless. She slowly backed away from InuYasha in disbelief. She had been with the group for3 years now and she was now 18. She went through so much to stay with InuYasha and the others and to just be replaced with someone who was cold hearted compared to her... It killed Kagome deep down inside.

"Your crying.. Ive never seen you cry over me before. Is she making you do this or do you really want me out of your life?"

Ignoring her question InuYasha only said one more thing to her that was barely audible, then lept away. She knew he said something but she just couldn't think of what it was. 'Im...still lost and I don't even have my things.. I can't just go home... I have to defeat Naraku...' Kagome stopped her mind there. Im not nearly strong enough to even get close to him without him noticing me and tyring to kill me and I was always saved by InuYasha... Kagome heard a snap of a twig behind her and looked. Her bag was set there and so was a note on top of it. 'InuYasha must have brought this here for me...And it looks like he left me a note?' Going over to it, Kagome picked up the note.

Kagome,

I am so sorry for just abandoning you like this. I thought we would be friends forever but it looks like I was wrong... Kikyo will be fine in your place. I don't know what you plan on doing with your life from here on out but if you decide to stay in the feudal era, you will be on your own. I will not come to save you anymore. I have things of my own to accomplish and that includes defeating Naraku and avenging Kikyo.

Signed,

InuYasha

She was suprised that her writing lessons for InuYasha payed off so well. He wrote the letter perfectly and without any spelling mistakes. Kagome knew that staying in the feudal era could mean a pretty certain death for her but she could defend herself for the most part. She knew how to use the bow and arrow better and InuYasha had given her a katana to fight with and had even taught her how to use it and now she was fairly well at weilding the blade. Its hilt was black and red mixed and the blade was black with a grey tint to it to show off its shining glory. Thankfull that she noticed that InuYasha had set it under her bag. Kagome was to deep in thought until a loud snort brought her back from her world to the real world. Her eyes immidietly shown with bright astonishment. There stood a beautiful horse. He was so clean that his coat basically shined. His large brown eyes sparkled in the sun. His whole body color was a medium brown. His mane and tale where the same. His tale went down to the back of his knees on his back legs and his mane was not to long. It was only about 3 inches long. The only things that stood out on him was his face that was decorated with a whight bold mark down it which ended with his grey nose, and his 3 white sock. His front left foot was mostly brown but had a white tint to it.

Slowly, Kagome walked over to the horse. He was so cute! She reached her hand out to pet him and the moment her hand touched his soft hairy face, she knew that he was special and would become her new traveling partner. At least she wouldn't be alone now. Smiling up and her new horse, Kagome wondered if he was ridable. 'Of course he is! I know InuYasha led him here for me so I know he is but ive never rode with out a saddle...' Gettind her big bad, Kagome put the straps over her sholders and looked atthe horse once more. He only had on a brown sidepull, no bits.

"Well, here goes!" Smiling at the horse Kagome led him over to a rock and mounted him and squeezed her legs tight. 'Hmmm just like riding Kirara! Just not flying haha' Kagome laughed to herself and kicked the horse in the side. After about an hour of riding her new horse slowly through the woods, Kagome found herself getting a bit hungry and was guessing the horse was hungry. Thinking more about the horse, Kagome relized that she hadn't yet given him a name. She had always wanted her own horse! She wanted an Indian name for him, so the first thing she could think of was Tonka.

"Tonka! That is your name now! I love you Tonka!" Kagome leaded forward and hugged his neck and laughed when he snorted. It was so cute! Everything was calm until something caught Kagome's attention. A loud ferrel growl to echoed through the woods also catching Tonka's attention. Kagome gave him a hard kick to the side and got him to a full speed run. He was running so fast Kagome could barely hold on. They where getting close to a cave and Kagome was ready to just face the thing chasing them and stopped Tonka. Sliding off his side, Kagome Turned to face the direction from where they ran from. Coming out of the shadows was a cat demon that was whight with black and orange spots. It was beautiful but the look in its eyes said to back off. Where they where now, was just a mountain side. Sense she didn't have hr bow and arrows, Kagome reached for the Katana she stuffed in her bag and was about to un sheath it when the cat demon striked and made Kagome fall from the middle of the mountain side. It was a straight drop and Kagome knew InuYasha wasn't going to be able to save her. He told her he wouldn't. Kagome knew then that she would not live another day. Kagome had just closed her eyes and was about to screem when she felt weightless all of a sudden. She opened her eyes again and was shocked at what she saw.

Cliff hanger ;) If you do not like it, please tell me what you do not like about it. I just felt bad about not posting the new story. Well who saved Kagome? Was it InuYasha? Kirara? The cat Demon? Tonka? Or maybe even Sesshomaru? R&R and ill post a new chapter after I get at least 10 reviews. Please Review!
