Chapter 1: Losing To Love

'Why' was the only thought in Kagome's head as she slept. She went every two nights to the ninja era to help Konoha kill the Akatuki and was done 2 weeks ago. Sasuke and her had fallen in love or so she thought. She had found him kissing Sakura. She had given up on Inuyasha after he had made it clear that Kikyo would obviously be better than her.

'Why, Why Sakura of all people.' She started to dream of the incident that happened only a few minutes before.

FLASHBACK

"Hey Naruto" Kagome said as she walked toward training ground 7. "Hey Kag-chan." Naruto said as he practiced the rasengan once more before collapsing out of breath. "Hey do you know where Sasuke is" she asked him. "I think I saw him at training ground 2. Why is he your" he asked with his kitsune grin putting up his pinky. Kagome felt a pink flush crawling to her cheeks. "Y-yes" she replied flustered. "Cool when's the wedding" he asked. "Ya when's your wedding with Hinata" Kagome asked calming down a bit. "W-wha h-huh b-b-but yo-you can- th" a flustered Naruto stuttered. "Later Naruto" giggled Kagome as she went to find Sasuke. But she had a foreboding feeling in her stomach a bad one. She shook the feeling off and put it to the side.

She finally made it to the training ground. She felt two auras coming from it but paid it no mind. She walked silently through the training grounds trying to sneak up on Sasuke. She finally found him but wished she didn't. "Sasuke"she whispered. He disconnected his lips from the pinkette. And looked at her with shock and regret. "K-Kagome" he asked/said shocked to see her. "Why" she asked less that a whisper. He put his head down finding the grass suddenly interesting. "Why" Kagome yelled. She saw Sasuke flinch at her tone. "Because I'm better than you"Sakura snorted. "Really you are" Kagome asked. She was gonna change. She was hurt 2 times to many. She was gonna become hard to the core! And if someone didn't like they would have to deal with it.

"Uh Duh" Sakura. "Oh really then tell me how I am the Shikon miko. How I killed so many demons that I lost count. Tell me why I was sent here if your obviously better. Tell me why I have an enormous fan club which about 7/8 of Konoha's population of men and two certain sand nin that we all know. If your better than why is it that I saved Ino, Shikamaru, and Choji's dad. If your better than me then why is Neji still alive. If your obviously better than me why did I kill almost all the Akatsuki. If your better than why did I have to save Lady Tsunde. If your better than why did I have to do all of those things" Kagome asked. Sakura opened her mouth to give a remark but closed realizing that Kagome was right. She was right about everything. Sakura looked at the ground ashamed. Sasuke tried to touch Kagome's shoulder but she only smacked it away and glared at him. Making him flinch but he held his ground and stood in front of her.

"Kagome I- I'm sorry, alright." Sasuke apologized. Almost sounded like he was pleading. "I HATE you Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno I NEVER want to see you again" Kagome yelled and ran away. Tears making her vision blurry. Then started to fall down her cheeks as she ran. Once she got to the old well she jumped in to the feudal era. She ran to Kiade's hut. They were all asleep. She sat down in a corner and continued to cry until she fell asleep. But little did our favorite little Miko know of the battle that would go on the next day.

END OF FLASHBACK

KAGOME'S POV

I WAS AWOKEN BY A GENTLE SHAKING. "Kagome come on wake up" Sango said. "Alright Alright" I said aggravated I had to woken up. My eyes fluttered open I had to blink a few times to adjust to the light. I saw Sango standing over me with her usual pretty smile. "I'm gonna take a bath" I said getting my supplies and heading out the hut.

I headed out the hot spring to see my friends waiting for me except Shippo. He was gonna stay and help Kiade out around the village. I was wearing something new that I bought in Konoha. It was a black dress that went to my ankles. With Royal blue fire at the ends. With royal blue stars all over it. It was split on the outer side of both my right and left leg starting at my upper thighs . I also had on my black leather combat boots with heels that stopped just bellow my knees. My mid thigh length hair was in a high ponytail. I had my new sword on my left hip called dark purity. It had a black sheath and purple hilt. And I had my bow and quiver with my arrows. "Wow Kagome you look... different" said an astonished Inuyasha

"Thanks" I said sarcastically rolling my eyes walking ahead of the group. "Well let's go"I said coldly. "Hey who do ya think your talking to wrench" asked Inuyasha as he started walking by my side. "Umm I don't know let me think... Oh I was talking to you b@$" I said sarcastically. "Hey don't get mad at me if your little Sas-gay boy broke up with you" Inuyasha insulted. I froze.

AUTHOR'S POV

Little did Inuyasha know he was partly right. There was an awkward silence. Sango sensing this said "Hey Kagome I've been having a bad feeling that something's gonna happen today." "Ya me too" Kagome answered coldly. Sango visibly shivered wondering what happened to her ally, companion, and best friend the day before. After that nothing was said as the group walked on. Everyone choking at the cold aura Kagome gave off. They were all too scared to break the thick silence not necessarily what would be said next but what Kagome would do. Her aura literally screamed "I'm Not in the Mood for any b@$s@$t"

As the group walked on the foreboding feeling got stronger and stronger until it was too late. The foreboding feelings seemed to be warning them that Naraku was ready to strike and end their huge squabble.
