A/N) Hey guys! I'm very proud to present to you my latest fanfic idea. Now stop messing around with the author's note and get to reading! 

Chapter 1: Your Loss

The gang had stopped in a clearing for lunch. As usual Inuyasha had tried to get them to keep going, but Shippo had whined so much about being hungry that Kagome had 'sat' Inuyasha till he agreed to wait for them. Kagome was now cooking up a new recipe that she had come up with and Shippo was sitting in her lap. Inuyasha was on the other side of the fire glaring daggers at Shippo. Watching all this Sango, Kilala, and Mirokou just sighed.

"I really don't understand why he doesn't just- How did Kagome put it?- 'ask her out'?" Remarked Mirokou after receiving his bowl from Kagome.

"Really. I thought he was supposed to be a man not a mouse." Replied Sango. She looked over as she heard a thud. Mirokou was frantically trying to pick up his cup of spilled Saki and pour himself some more without her noticing . He was failing miserably. "Something wrong, Mirokou?" She asked genuinely concerned.

"Oh! Uh? Yeah! I'm fine lady Sango. Please continue.? Was Mirokou's stammered reply. 'I should have known. She likes the type of guys who can just come right out and tell people their feelings. Just my luck!'

"AAAAHHH!" breaking out of his thoughts Mirokou looked up to see Kagome being dragged upwards by a rope that had snaked it's way around her middle. "Inuyasha! Help!"

"Kagome!" Inuyasha jumped trying to get to Kagome, but was held back by a sort of invisible shield. They all watched hopelessly as she was dragged into the air by seemingly nothing.

A/N) Sorry for the cliffy, but I still have to update my other stories and I don't want to get to far into this one before I do all the others. Well, I look forward to reading your reviews!
