Chapter. 1 Goodbye For The Last Time

Kagome s P. O. V.

'I can t believe him.' I thought as I ran through the forest with tears running down my face. My clothes were torn and ripped in places that allowed the chilly morning air to rush against my skin and wounds. 'That jerk. I can t believe him . . . I trusted him.' I thought as my legs finally gave out and I collapsed in the clearing I ran into. Tears began to fall again as memories of what happened flooded my mind . . . .
*****FLASHBACK*
Inuyasha stood holding Kikyo as they embraced.
"Inuyasha, do you love me or my reincarnation?" She asked. Her dark, lifeless eye's staring into his, holding a curtain evil in there swirling depths.
"Of course I love you. I could never love that stupid wench." Inuyasha replied. His own deep amber pools, seemingly lifeless, to which went unnoticed by her, as she watched on with confused tear filled eye's.
"Kill her for me Inuyahsa, so we can once again be together." Kikyo said, her voice dripping with a darkness that no normal soul should have to bear. Her breath caught in her throat, as she waited for her companion's reply to the dead miko's question. And when he did, her heart shattered into a million little pieces.
"I'd do anything for you. . . .She will die tonight my love." Inuyahsa replied.
*****END OF FLASHBACK*
'I can t go back . . . but I can t leave Shippo." I thought . . . . That's when I heard the bushes beside me on my left move.

"W-who's there?" I spoke, almost chocking on my tears. There it is again. I heard the noise again, but this time to my right.

"S-show yourself!" I yelled hoping that whatever it was would go away.
I stared at the bush as it began to rustle again. My heart was pounding in my chest as I rose to my feet.
The noise stopped as I got closer, but as my hopes rose I was suddenly grabbed by an over grown purple arm.

"HELP!" I screamed, hoping someone would hear me. As I took off running through the trees, I could feel its hot sticky breath rolling off the back of my neck. I cursed myself for not taking my bow and arrows with me as I ran off, but then decided it was all Inuyasha's fault. My legs began to burn along with my lungs as I raggedly took in sharp gasps of oxygen which burned, as I continuously ran through the forest.

"Ahhhhh!" A loud scream tore through my throat, as the demon's claw's ripped through the fabric of my shirt and the flesh on my side where my ribcage was. The pain was unbearable, but I kept running, knowing that if I stopped even for a second, I was a goner. I don t know how much longer I had run for but I soon began to realize that I was beginning to slow down. Not only from exhaustion, but also from blood loss, this was also causing my vision to blur.
In the fraction of a second that my body slowed, that's all it took for the demon to spring forward and knock me to the ground. A groan left my lips as the last bit of oxygen left my burning lungs from the impact of hitting the ground. Another choked scream tore through me as the demon ripped open my back. In that moment my untrained power's surged to life, singing the demon and causing it to retreat from my person, but unfortunately not killing it, I didn t have the strength.

"AAAHHHHH!" I screamed as I was flung through the air, closing my eyes tightly and waiting to collide with the hard ground, but the ground never came. I opened my eyes to see someone holding me. 'Who could it be?' I thought, but before I could react the person spoke.

"Fool. I 'l rid you of your pathetic life." The man said, his voice a rich, deep baritone, like velvet on skin, and sent a shiver through me. The man then swung his sword. The demon let out a massive roar as a blur light hit its body, destroying it. I looked up to see a pair of golden eyes. Without thought, I smiled. "Sesshomaru." I said, almost giggling when I saw the confusion in his eyes as I smiled up at him. He landed softly on the ground, not even making a noise. His eye's seemed to roam over my bleeding form assessing the damage the demon had done before he had arrived.

"You re coming with me." He said and I just nodded before I rested my head against his chest and falling asleep, exhausted from everything that had went on since my return to the feudal era, with one thing in mind.' Inuyasha, good-bye for the last time.'

A/N: Well, I hope you like it. Let me know what you think, Laterz.
