The Pain Begins

Kagome showed up at school the next day as planned but didn't talk to anyone. Not Inuyasha, Sango, or Miroku. She did that for the next 3 weeks. She had a blank expression and instead of wearing her usual bright clothes, she wore long shirts and pants. Finally the trio got sick of her ignoring them and they confronted her.

"Kagome we need to talk." Sango said.

"I don't want to." She stated flatly and walked away, but before she could Inuyasha grabbed her hand.

"Please?" He asked.

"Let go of me right now!" Kagome screamed at him.

She wiggled her arm out of his grasp and ran to the girl's bathroom. She locked herself in one of the stalls, locked it, and pulled out a sharp knife. She began dragging it up and down her arm. The pain was excruciating but it felt so good.She took a minute to look at her wounds and large amounts of blood were coming out. She was about to get up and clean them when she felt very dizzy and fell and was unconscious.

"I'll go talk to her and maybe get her to tell me what's wrong." Sango said.

The boys nodded and prayed that Sango would find out what was wrong with their best friend.

When Sango entered the bathroom, she saw a red puddle coming from one of the stalls. She gasped and ran to open the door but it was locked.

"Kagome? Kagome let me in now!" Sango yelled.

She hurled her body into the door and it flew open. There before her was a lifeless body. She quickly left the stall and ran to the door and called for Inuyasha and Miroku to hurry quickly. When they entered they were horrified at what they saw. There, Kagome lay in her blood with cut marks running up and down her arms.

"Oh god, why would she do something like this?" Miroku asked.

Inuyasha felt a tear roll down his cheek. He walked over to Kagome's body, picked her up and held her close.

"Let's go, we have to get her to the hospital." Miroku said.

The three ran with Kagome in Inuyasha's arms to the nearest hospital. There, Kagome was admitted and the three prayed that the doctor's would help their depressed friend.
