Naraku. His name was Naraku.
Kagome gasped, struggling from the assaults he placed on her body. She was screaming.
Oh, Kami.
Damn. Damn. Damn. Damn. Damn.
She was running, running for her godforsaken life. Tears brimmed on the edge of her eyes. She had failed.
The dense forest scraped her knees and arms, legs, and parts of her bared skin, which was pretty much, everything. Behind her she could hear Naraku laughing, taunting her. Once in a while he would get close enough and wrap his tentacles around her, nearly absorbing her into his body before she set herself free again and kept running.
She emerged in a clearing and, despite the beautiful view of sparkling water and green grass with a great stretch of endless sky and cloud; she could not bring herself to admire it. Her body was reaching exhaustion, her limbs weakened by the second and soon enough she was staggering, wobbling until finally she collapsed unto the earth, her breathed ragged with an erratic heartbeat that seemed about to burst from her chest.
He was there, approaching her figure slowly and he couldn't help but smile, his sickening laugh echoing in the clearing as he neared her prone form. Now that he though of it, maybe having her alive wouldn't be so bad. He might have use for her now.
Wrapping a slimy tentacle around her body he began dragging her towards him, the look of sheer terror in her eyes filling him with glee. However, suddenly he dropped her, his eyes wide and disbelieving. A strong aura was approaching, an aura with an unforgettable owner. Visions of white and gold filled Naraku's mind, as he remembered previous battle encounters. He grimaced, it seemed like the wench wasn't the only survivor.
Damn.
The earth seemed to stand silent with only Kagome's ragged breathing interrupting it.

"There's something nearby…" she muttered. Unwrapping herself from the several roots and leaves that encased her body Kagome stepped unto the ground. Her eyes scanning the surrounding.
"Bokuseno, where's Sesshomaru?" she questioned, looking up at the tree. There was a slight breeze in the air almost as if he were sighing. The leaves rustled and he spoke,
"To ward off the aura approaching"
Kagome's eyes widened, "...But it's too strong." She said. The few remaining strings of sleep snapped from Kagome and she became fully alert. Walking on agile feet she grabbed her bow and arrows, and headed off toward the clearing from which the aura emanated. "Be careful, child" said the tree. Kagome only took a second to smile reassuringly, before setting of running.

Kagome's heart was beating way too fast, it drummed loudly in her ears, and she didn't seem to be getting enough oxygen. The wind blew harshly and her skin prickled from the cold.
Standing at opposite ends of the field was Naraku, Kagome fallen somewhere in the middle, and to the other side a great white dog.
Time was frozen, but Kagome could feel it, someone was about to hit play. And of course it just had to be her fault anyway. Kagome's body decided it was the perfect time to sneeze. Disruption of silence. Oh, damn he's growling. And Plunge. Click, Play.
