A TIME TO REMEMBER...

Chapter 1. Running

Run Kagome we can't hold him much longer, Miroku pushed against inuyasha's with his staff rings jingling against the added presure.

I can't leave you guy's alone with him,,,,, i can control him let me try, Sango laid a hand on Kagome's arm for support to stand up, much to weak to do it her self from the earlier attack that Inuyasha had inflicted on her while she steped in front of Kagome to protect her from Inuyasha's attack.

Sango lay down don't try and push your self, Sango ignored her and made her progress to stand up, listen to me kagome i know you love him but without tetsusaiga no one can reach out to him, you have to run we can hold him back for a little longer but you have to make it back to the well.

Sango, Kagome hurry he's breaking through my barrier "aarrgh" Inuyasha control your self we are your friends you do not need to do this.

aaaaaahhhhh Inuyasha' s claws clawed at the barrier before him. Give her to me monk and i might spare your life, glaring at the houshie before him, i will not let you hurt her Inuyasha

Kagome stared at the Hanyou beforre her watching his eye's bleed red with claws extended and ment to kill, Sangon i can't , look at me Kagome that is not Inuyasha if you do not hurry he will brake free and hurt you, Shippo is at the village protected by kaede so nothing is stopping you. But what about you and Miroku i can't leave you alone with him, don't worry Kagome, Sango helled Kagome's sholders firmly, you must go now we will distract him, Sango stood up Miroku duck "Hiraikotsu"

Miroku ducked just as Sango's bomerang flew over head, Run now Kagome

Without a second thought Kagome jumped up and started to run as fast as she could not daring to look behind her, The last thing she heard was kilala rouring.

I have to hurry ... panting she ran through the forest ignoring the under brush scratching at her legs and taring the fabric of her skirt.

why Inuyahsa why are you doing this ...

why couldn't you control your self this time...

why are wanting to hurt, Sango and Miroku, your friends

why are you wanting to hurt me...

she kept running not caring what was around her ..

Does it hurt that much when you look at me, do i remind you of kikyo that much that you can't even look at me.

Tears streaming down her face openly,, she ran forward letting her feet carry her..INUYASHA ...the name screamed through her mind

she kept runninng forward to her salvation.

YOUR MINE WENCH... No, she froze looking behind her Inuyahsa was jumping from branch to branch catching up to her, his eyes still blood red, she ran faster than before ,,no way ,how.. Sango .. Miroku.. ooww Kami please let them be all right.. IRON REA... Inuyasha SIT ,, he smacked into the dirt floor below him barel missing kagome by an inch... Run Kagome Run she told her self that won't hold him much longer..

Sure enough Inuyasha was back up and the game Cat and Mouse was once again in play... Kagome.. Inuyasha bellowed you know you can'y out run me ...like i didn't already know that myself smart ass.. she thought as she kept running .. oow no she looked ahead of her,,,it was not the destination she was hoping for. she stopped abruptly at the edge of a steep cliff looking down she couldn't see the bottom the mist below was thick... ok Kagome jumping is out... well, well, well it seems or game has come to an end.

Kagome grabed her bow from behind her and strung it with an arrow,,,, Inuyasha stay back i don't want to hurt you.. Fih" like you could hurt me Wench.. he growled.. Your blood is mine ... NOOOOO inuyasha... Iron Reaver .. she realeased her arrow and let it fly with spiritial energy glowing around it.. at the same time both of them hit there target... aaah... kagome stumbled back holding her chest blood seeping through her shirt... argh you will pay for that wench,, Inuyasha pulled the arrow from his shoulder wincing in pain , he snapped the arrow in half with his hand throwing it to the ground..blood pouring from the wound on his shoulder..

aaah..it hurts, now i know how all those other demons felt.. ya way to go kagom that's a comforting thought .. what can i do he's stronger then me .. there has to be a some way.

wait i could seal him to a tree like kikyo did... but ...what if i can't ...no i have just enough strength ...

but it will only last a few days at the most ..i haven't that much strength left

She stood up stifly reaching for another arrow from behind ...

Like i said before wench you can't hurt me.. he raised his claws to attack again ..

I'm sorry Inuyasha, please forgive me ... she poured all her remaining spiritual energy into her arrow ...pointing it straight at him... i'm sorry inuyasha please forgive me...

IRON REAVER ...

SEAL..

SOUL STEALER..

Kagome hurried and turned around trying to avoid Inuyasha's attack.. but not in time to avoid being struck with two sets of claws as they claimed her back marking her and drawing blood.. she stumbled forward getting closer to the edge.. she turned around to face Inuyasha the arrow just hitting forcing him back into the tree behind him.. piercing through his upper chest and into the tree behind him... aaahhhh...you wench how dare you ...the arrow pulsated a bright pink ... what .. what's hap ... pening t..o m..e... Kagome ..slowly his eye's faded back to a dull gold .. looking at kagome as the spell took on more strength his body feeling drained... slowly his eye's closing..

kagome stood at the edge of the cliff swaying back and forth tears pooring down her face .. I'm sorry Inuyasha.. I'm sorry i couldn't help you ... she started to loose the battle to stay awake blood flowing freely from her wounds.. she stumbled backwards falling off the cliff... Inuyasha seeing him pinned there to the tree before darkness flowed around her..

ha ha ha ... very good ... he waved his hand as to dismiss the image that layed before him in his daughter's mirror,

go and leave me ...

kanna bowed her head and slowly rose to exit the room not making a sound..

very good indeed .. you will suffer the same fate as you did with Kikyo i swear it Inuyasha

Kagura come here...

a form that sat at the side of the room stood up and bowed before her master ... yes Naraku .. rubbies eyes set gaze to the hanyou the was seated before her looking as if he we're a prince .. sitting upon pillows with a smirk that layed across his face...

Kagura... her named rolled off his toungue to easily and sent shivers down her spine... go and make sure the Miko is dead and retreave the shards she carries around her neck ... i'm sure even you can do this without messing up...

can't you ...his voice was deep and threatening ...with the promise of pain if she failed

she growled low before looking up to meet her masters gaze ... His gaze was intense sending another shiver through her .. he laughed low seeing this..

Now go and do not fail me Kagura remember i hold your fate in my hands ...

She rose up to her feet and bowed quickly ... of course my lord ... she bowed again and made her way out of the room ...

closing the door behind her and walking down the corridor that was littered with bodies that were just discarded and left there to rought ... she stopped out side the castles gates seeing kanna waiting for her

and what do you want Kanna..

Kanna stared at her with no emotion showing ...i swear Kanna you remind me of naraku with those eye's of yours... now what is it that you want... Kanna took a few steps towards her younger sister..

Kagura be carefull ...

Kagura just stared at her older sister .. and why is that ...more suprised then curious

Kanna kept her gaze... there have been rumors of demons patroling the area there... and how is that anything to be carefull of...there are always demons around...

Not like these Kagura ... what do you mean Kanna ...Kagura stared at her older sister

We don't know much about them but even Naraku is weary of them ... there said to be ancient and have reapeared after there long absence...

So i see ,, Kagura tapped her fan to her mouth .. so even that pathetic hanyou is worried about his self that sends me how typical .. how pathetic.. damn you Naraku ... Your just using me as bait to see what is going to happen ... kagura pulled a feather out of her hair ... she looked thoughtfully at Kanna..Kanna tell me how did you find out about these powers, surely Naraku would want this power...kanna began to walk away ,,without turning around she spoke...He has tried , an entire army of his best was destroyed without lifting a fingure...she walked into the castle leaving Kagura... when her feather grown to it's full size she jumped on with ease ...and flew off with out another word...

oohh he not going to like this one bit one one bit at all ... oh why do i have to always be the one to bring him the bad news ... i wonder what he' s going to do to me ... Jaken shivered at the thought no no he wouldn't kill me his humble servent ...at least i don't think he would ... no no no i am much to important to my lord ...

Jaken reached Sesshomaru's study where he knew he would be ... at least i hope he won't..swallowing he knocked at the door he waited a fellow silent moments... come in Jaken ... Jaken pulled the door to the side and walked in and closed the door behind him he walked up to the desk that his lord set at ...

papers pilled around him looking irated at how much they had pilled up in his absence ... he did not look up to aknowledge his servants presence ... Jaken walked up to the desk where his lord sat and bowed low to the floor...uum excuse me my lord ...

what ... Jaken jumped nervously ... well my lord i have news...

well ... umm it seems there has been a disturbence my lord on your land ... large auro's of power have been found at the edge of your province ...

hmmmm ...my lord

Jaken ,,yes my lord... looked up to meet his masters piercing gaze

I have no interest in that hanyou ... uuum my lord ...

A single deligate eyebrow rose .. how do you know this jaken .. his attention was now fully on his advisor

well.. ummm.. it seems my lord that this power is old and very powerfull nothing of that patheitc hanyou ..

hmm i see... sesshomaru slowly stood up ..

Jaken bent down lowly ...aaah yes my lord anything that i can do for you . shall i send out scouts to see to this disburnce ..
