Hey guys. Thanks for reviewing last time, it seems I haven't lost my touch. Haha. Well, on with the fic!
Lone Girl And A Confession Made
Inuyasha still embraced Kikyo. He was starting to fidget now, mainly because of the words he just said. And this scent...? Salty. That's strange. He quickly looked around and saw no one there. Inuyasha gulped and took a deep breath.
"Kikyou, I-Im sorry. I cant do this." He said, backing out of her embrace.
Kikyou actually looked surprised. "What do you mean? What is this about?"
Inuyasha's eyes saddened. "I said that I loved you, but you're not the only person I love."
Kikyou smiled sadly. "I see. This is about Kagome, isn't it?"
Inuyasha nodded. "I love her. And probably more than I love you. I just cant sit here and say I love you and only you."
Kikyou nodded. "I understand completely Inuyasha. Go find her and tell her that you love her."
Inuyasha nodded. "Im so sorry Kikyou. But, what are you gonna do?"
Kikyou smiled. "When Naraku is defeated, I will reach the Sacred Place at last. I'll be in peace."
"Okay. Goodbye Kikyou!" Inuyasha yelled, running out of the forest clearing that held the Goshinboku and towards Kaede's village.

Kagome continued to run. She wasn't even a little bit tired yet, and her legs were in perfect condition to run this fast. She had ran with the sweat and tears pouring down her face.
She had to get away. That was most important. Some say pain is inevitable, but she had every intention of running away from it. She had absolutely no idea where she'd go. But, she would camp out if she had to.
Kagome ran and ran. Just then a lighting bolt cracked over head. Kagome sighed. Great. Now she'd need to find a cave or something she could hide in. A loud clap of thunder gave way again, and Kagome ran even faster. Now she had to find a nice sized cave and go hide in it.
Kagome ran until she tripped over a root. "AHH!!!" Kagome screamed as she tumbled down a VERY steep hill.
"Ouch. Ow. Oomph. Ah!" She said, as she finally rolled down the hill, now getting wet, because it started raining. Hard.
Kagome coughed up dirt and rubbed her bruised knee. "This is great... me and the outdoors, Im starting to miss the others already." She said to herself. She felt a pang at her words then frowned. The others... did they know that she was missing?
They were probably still sleep. Kagome shrugged as she started walking and shivered. She didn't even bring any supplies! No food, no water, no extra clothes! What was she thinking at the moment? Oh well, too late to turn back now.
Kagome continued to walk with her arms wrapped around herself. Her hair was sticking to her neck and back and her cheeks were becoming pale. She walked until she heard a growl. Her eyes widened and she slowly turned around to see a huge cat youkai that looked none too friendly. Well, technically, it was a lion youkai.
Kagome smiled nervously. "Heh heh, nice kitty. Good kitty. Good kitty that wont tear me to shreds." She said, slowly backing away.
The youkai growled and got ready to pounce. Kagome screamed like the true schoolgirl she is, and started running the other way.
"AH!! Somebody help me!!!" She yelled, running through the forest. The lion youkai was hot on her tail. She didn't know that lions were kings of the forest too!
Kagome was starting to get a cramp in her side, but she didn't stop running. Hmm. She wondered if she screamed, would it go away? Not likely.
Kagome heard a fierce roar from behind her and screamed. "Ah! Kami, help me!!" She yelled, running even faster. She looked back and the large cat was only three feet away. Kagome swallowed another scream and kept running.
That is, until she tripped. Kagome gasped and looked up in time to see the large beast pounce on her. Kagome tried to squirm free, but both her arms were being held down by the youkai's paws. She had to get out of this somehow. No way, was she gonna become this cat's midnight snack.
Kagome tried to calm herself down. The youkai growled in her face. The hairs on the back of her wet neck stood up immediately. "Ahh!" Kagome screamed.
The youkai suddenly swiped it's huge claws across her stomach. Her uniform ripped, and blood was quickly seeping through the torn fabric.
"Ahh!!!" Kagome shrieked in pain as she tried to hold her wound somehow.
The youkai licked it's paw and swiped at another area on her stomach again.
"Ahhh!!! Oh..." Kagome was loosing too much blood at once. She was starting to get a little dizzy, then she mustered up all the energy she had.
"Seriyoku...!" Kagome didn't get to finish the rest of the attack as she swiped harshly across the face.
"Ah! Seriyoku... bakuhastu!!" She finally managed to squeak out as she released a small, but strong, burst of spiritual energy out of her palm. The lion screeched and flew back against a tree. Kagome took this as her chance to escape.
Holding her wound, she started to limp as quickly as she could. She had to get away. At all costs. She groaned as more blood seeped in between her fingers.
"I have to get help or something..." She said, trying to limp a little faster. She could still see the youkai in the distance, and it was having a hard time standing up. That was absolutely perfect for her. She hoped it wouldn't stand completely until morning.
She grimaced and hissed in pain as the cold wind brushed against her wound. So much pain...
The rain was coming down very hard and her vision was starting to get blurry, but she couldn't stop moving.
She needed to find some place to hide from the oncoming lightning bolts. Not to mention, the hail that was sure to come.
"Ah..." Kagome squeaked out as she felt something hit her wound and wrap around her waist. Kagome noticed that someone was holding her. She looked and saw two figures that chuckled.
"Heh, Yoshiro, we got ourselves quite the prize now." One bandit looking man said.
Yoshiro nodded. "We sure do. Wonder what to do with a wounded and pretty thing like you?" He said, grinning evilly.
Kagome gulped. "You wont do anything to me! Pigs!" She yelled, trying to swing her leg at one of them.
The one named Yoshiro quickly dodged and grabbed her leg. Kagome's eye's widened as his hand started to travel up her leg.
"AHH! Pig!" She yelled, suddenly thrusting the other leg right into his mid-section. He coughed, and let her go. Kagome desperately tried to get away. The other one came from behind and used his sword sheathe to poke her in her wound. Hard.
"Ah! Let me go!!" She yelled, as another clap of thunder sounded over head.
Kagome grimaced at her wound that was now throbbing because of the idiot bandit. She swiftly turned around and kneed him right in a place a guy would not want to be kneed.
The bandit howled in pain while the other one still dealt with his hurting abdomen.
Kagome spit at them both, then she started running faster into the forest. Who knew that bandits were out this time of night? Kagome looked up and noticed that the sky was getting lighter, signaling that it was day time now, and that it was still raining.
Kagome shivered as she came to a clearing and heard the loudest clap of thunder ever. She screamed out of surprise and walked a little further into the clearing.
Her vision blurred again, and she fell on her knees, shivering. Her entire body was pale and her lips were almost blue.
There she laid, sprawled out on the ground. With dirt and blood caked in her hair from the bandits and youkai.
"Oh..."
She mumbled before she was surrounded by thick darkness.
Is that a cliffy? Who knows. Sorry for the short chap. Im kinda sick and I dont have too much energy to waste other than school. Man. My throat hurts. Well, review. Next chapter will be longer, I promise! Also, keep a lookout for the next chapter of 'What Was Once Yours' Entitled: You Of All People?!!?!
Question Of The Day: For the girls, if you had absolutely no experience fighting like Kagome, how would you get away from someone who is trying to assault you?
With that said, Sayonara!
