Chapter 2
The warm orange sun was just peeping from behind the dark mountains of green. The sky was a dull-blue and the air was chilly in the gray dawn. The great trees towering over the ground below, with their leaves sprinkled with the crystal white drops of dew brought from the early morning.
Down below, preparing for their long journey in pursuit of Naraku, and the finding of Kikyou, were our favorite group consisting of Inuyasha, Kagome, Miroku, Sango, Shippou and Kirara.
Inuyasha was the first one up, not happily mind you, however, being the leader of the group, I suppose he just had to be the first one up or else we wouldn't accomplish anything.
Inuyasha, eyes half open as he was half awake, walked over and gave Shippou, asleep on the grass, a rough kick sending him tumbling over. And waking up.
"HEY!" Shippou shouted, rubbing his head and scowling at Inuyasha as he stared at him blankly.
"I told you enough times to get up." Inuyasha remarked.
Kagome walked over comforting Shippou.
"Oh Inuyasha." she said. "You really don't have to be so violent all the time."
Very soon everyone was up and ready for leave. After eating a quick breakfast from snacks in Kagome's backpack, they decided to head out. As they made their way through the thick forest, though they didn't notice, it was unusually quiet.
Not a bird chirped through the woodland. Not a gentle wind blew through the bending trees.
Evil silence.
Now and then a few cracks and crunching sounds could be heard, caused by members of the group occasionally stepping on a twig or dried leaves on the forest floor. Soon they came upon a running stream surrounded by green plants growing around it, some of these plants were medicinal herbs as Kagome could tell from Kaede's teachings.
"I'm gonna' go pick some of those herbs, we may need them later." Kagome announced.
Inuyasha grunted. "Okay, just hurry up."
Kagome left the path in a slight jog with her backpack hung over one of her shoulders. As she approached the bank, she crouched down next to it. The sound of the clear water running through the rocks was a soothing sound, which made Kagome smile.
She was in a generally good mood this morning.
She began to carefully pull up and inspect the small green herbs and stuff them in her backpack. As she picked the plants, her surroundings began to get dark. Very dark.
It was soon too dim for her to see what she was doing. Kagome looked up the sky to see if it was clouds rolling in. Though it was dark, she noticed that the sky was clear, yet, the soft blue it once was had changed to a gray, almost black color. She just gazed up curiously.
What could be happening?
"How strange." She thought. "There's not a cloud in the sky, and yet its so dark all of the sudden. I better hurry up and go back with everyone."
At that, Kagome started to get up and turned to head back, however, the darkness had subjugated, and now it was too dark to see anything. She turned her head in random directions, confused.
"I think I came this way."
Kagome began to get scared, she didn't know where she was, and now it was suddenly pitch dark and she couldn't see which way to go to rejoin with her friends. The silence had become stronger too, soon she couldn't even hear the trickling of he water running a few feet away from her.
Suddenly, she heard a faint rustling in the bushes, it startled her a bit, but then she though it might be Inuyasha or Sango, or some of them looking for her.
"Sango?" she asked.
Silence.
Suddenly an arrow came darting towards her through the darkness. It's speed was breakneck and would have been impossible to dodge.
The long arrow struck her in the left arm sending a sharp, echoing cry from the unaware girl. The force of the small spear sent Kagome flying backwards and slamming against a tree, leaving her pierced arm pinned.
Kagome whined and cringed from the great pain of her bleeding shoulder, she clutched it with her unharmed arm. She glared into the darkness with eyes wet in tears, wondering what could be happening.
Who's arrow could it be? And why were they shooting her?
Slowly, silently, emerging from the darkness. The most sinister figure approached the pinned girl. In one hand, holding a bow. In the other, a long, narrow arrow with a sharp, pointed tip.
Kikyou appeared through the darkness.
