Chapter Four: Aftermath

Inuyasha looked around.

"Kagome!" he called. "Kagome, where are you?"

No answer.

"Kagome?" he yelled again, starting to feel a twinge of nervousness. Was she hurt?

"Kagome.?"

He looked around frantically. He could smell her blood, but it was diluted and he couldn't tell where she was.

"Kagome!"

Ice cold fingers gripped his heart as he noticed the river was red with blood.

Kagome lay half in the water, half on the rocky shore. He leapt over and lifted her into his arms.

"Kagome, are you alright?" he asked shakily, looking into her eyes. He dropped her quite suddenly.

Her head.Where was her head?!
