I do not own Inuyasha or any of the characters from the anime and/or manga. All idea or story lines are mine but based off other fanfictions and stories that i have read, i am not claiming anyone idea as my own but all together blending into a well written story.

Introduction

The night was young and full of heat. Alone and sweating, kagome sat on top of a large rock, overlooking a still river. No life was visible in the dark pool of running water. Tears streamed down her cheeks, her face redden at the liquid.

It was apparent that the long days of searching for the scared jewel shards were taking a toil on the young woman. Her playful, happy demeanor was starting to fade, and being away for such a long time from her home and family did not help her one bit. Yes it was true that her number one priority was to gather all the shards before naruko got his hands on them and prevent anyone else from being hurt in the process, Kagome was still a growing young lady. She could not help but wish for the guidness of her mother, the warm childish play of her brother, and the elderly wisdom that was her grandfather. It truely surprised her once she began to crave their company more and more with each passing day that being way from such a short time that her heart and mind began to unravel and want nothing more than to have them there. In the past she had been stronger and always saw things straight foward, never letting her emotions get so out of hand.

Her soft sobs were drowned out by the rush of water and creaks of the small grass crickets all around her. The moon's light layed over her, the wind blowing strands of hair all around her face. Another wave of pain raged through her, her shoulders shaking. She cupped her face, her slim finger placed firmly over her mouth, her other arm holding her stomach tightly, making her feel that if she let go her whole body would crumble. Her mind was swimming in all that had built up in her. The horrible screams of pain, the stench of stale blood, the bright hot light of fire, and the eerie thin silence that came before another bloody fight. How all this had taken the sweet-smiling girl away fro her beloved friends. The worst of it all was the way Inuyasha looked at her. The way his eyes traveled down her face down her frale body and back up, his eyes filled with worry and concern but his face standing firm and hard. The way he would slowly stop being so gently with her, letting her be as she slowly sank into her dark, small box of depression. Not even skippo's silly actions and random spunk would pull her out of the dark ocean of dread that she now swam in. Sango and Miroku, both trying to end her suffering, feeling as though their friend was never going to break free from her black cloud, looked to Inuyasha for help, but found only, once again, another stubborn male dog demon believing that he had nothing to do with it. On they went with their search, all hoping that Kagome's pain and sadness would soon leave. but it didn't, and now, with their search at a halt, they all sit around a growing fire, the tension floating in the air. Their conversation became heated once kagome had left to go for a 'walk' alone near the river. This is where our story takes us.
