Fate

Kagome let out a sigh, as the warm water soothed her muscles.

Kagome was taking a nice hot bubble bath while everyone else went to the...beach? Yeah, they went to the beach.

'Where did they go?' she thought.

She had gotten in once they left, an hour ago, and hadn't gotten out. She let out another sigh.

Two days. In two days, their vacation was over.

'What are we going to do then?' she thought. Everyone had gotten close over the past 28 days. 'Sango and Miroku started dating during the...third week? Sango really likes him. And me and Inuyasha, I think we started dating during the second week.' Kagome thought. 'And Shippo really likes him. Two days. In two days, I won't see him again, for like...ever.' Kagome sighed, it was just to depressing.

But it wasn't all bad. She hadn't seen any sign of Naraku.

Not that she was scared or anything. Because she defiantly wasn't scared! Ok, maybe a little bit but, and can you blame her?

Kagome got up and drained the water. She wrapped a towel around her body and got out of the tub.

Naraku stood outside the cabin, looking through the window, waiting for Kagome to come out.

He's been waiting, and waiting, and waiting, but now, he would strike.

He watched as Kagome came out of the bathroom, wrapped only in a towel, and walk into her room.

"This is it Kagome."

He quickly and quietly entered the cabin and got everything set up. He had a chair a few feet in front of her door, he poured gas all over the cabin, and he was in position.

Now, all he had to do was wait.

Kagome looked at herself in the mirror.

She wore a navy blue spaghetti strap, and navy blue pajamas pants with ducks, bubbles, and the word 'QUACKERS' written all over them. Her hair was brushed and pulled back into a pony-tail.

She turned around and headed for the door. She turned it open and walked out side. She stopped as she saw the chair in her path, that wasn't there before.

"Hi Kagome."

She instantly froze.

"How ya been?" He wrapped his arms around her from behind and dragged her towards the chair.

"Let go of me." she said, struggling to get free.

"No can do."

He pushed her down so she was sitting in the chair and held her shoulders down so she wouldn't get up.

"You see, you really pissed me off."

He let go off one of her shoulders and picked up a piece of rope from under the seat.

"Oh yeah, and how did I do that?" she asked.

And as she spoke the words came out calmly, as if they were having a cup of tea, even though her heart was racing.

"You just...how can I explain this?"

"Don't hurt yourself," she said sarcastically.

He pulled the rope tight, making Kagome wince.

"Your different. All of the others would have locked themselves in their room and never came out but you just act like nothing happened, and that pisses me off."

From his voice she could tell he was pissed, really pissed.

"So what are you going to do with me?"

"Glad you asked" he said regaining his calm voice. "See, I've been thinking about that. I want you to have a fitting end. But nothing I thought of was good enough."

He moved in front of Kagome.

He had tied her hands behind her and her feet to the legs of the chair.

"See, I want you to suffer."

He reached into his pocket and pulled out a gold locket.

"Here, I won't be needing this anymore."

He put the necklace on her neck and stood back to examine his work.

He walked back up to her and pulled out her ponytail.

"You look better with your hair down." he whispered into her ear, making her shiver. He stepped back and looked at her.

"It's too bad to." he pulled out a match. "You were kinda cute."

He lit the match and threw it on the floor.

Kagome's eyes widened in fear.

'Oops' he mouthed, walking away.

He was out the door in a minute leaving Kagome inside, to die.

She pulled furiously on the rope, trying to undo them, but the heat was starting to be unbearable. It spread quickly, the curtains and furniture was already on fire, and at this rate, Kagome would pass out soon, then... Kagome shook her head, trying to get rid of those thoughts. 'Stay Calm' she told herself.

Tears poured out of her eyes as fire started to spread her way.

"HELP" she yelled, breathing in a lot of smoke.

But she didn't care. If she didn't do something she was going to die anyway.

"HELP" she coughed, her vision already becoming blurry.

"HELP" she yelled again, breathing in a lot of smoke.

Her head started to loll and her eyes started to drift close.

No one's coming,' she thought. 'This is it. I'm done for.'

"HELP" she said again, but more of a whisper now.

Her throat was all scratchy, and her eyes stung.

Please, God, help me.'

"HELP" she whispered, her eyes finally closing.

That's it. There's only like 5 more chapters to this story. So, if a keep updating every Sunday I should be done in a month and a week. That's a long time, so maybe, just maybe, I'll update sooner. But only if I get reviews. If not, you'll just have to wait the whole month and a week. But, what did you think? I know, short but hey, I never said these were going to be long. Or, maybe I did last time, but what can I say, I lied. Anyway, thanks, Loved Forever and Silver-Theif-Maker for reviewing. Till next time.
