Beginning of a new

Ch.1 How It Starts

Still on the search for the jewel shards, everyone tires and goes to sleep. Though Inu-yasha is human on the new moon, which is now, they sleep peaceful. A shadow secretly comes into the building where they lay, and into Kagome's room. The mysterious figure clasped their hand over Kagome's mouth, and she woke and couldn't scream. She knew who it was but could do nothing about it. It took Kagome out into the darkness of the night.

*Morning*

At dawn's blinding light, Inu-yasha wakes and is half demon once again, but something's wrong. As everyone else wakes up he franticly waited for Kagome to see if she is there. "What's wrong Inu-yasha can't wait to see Kagome after one night?" Miroku smirked. "Feh, I'm not a pervert like you, and I sense that Kagome isn't here." Inu-yasha glared at him. "Well, then I'm going to see, your probably just imaging things," Sango announced walking up to the door. Inu-yasha watched as she slowly opened door. He focused his glance at one point, and with one look he started out to the nearest door to the outside.

Sniffing and not doubting her sent, that sweet and intoxicating smell, and ran as fast as he could. To him it felt like hours, following but not to his surprise he smelled a rat. That rat was the one and only Koga. Streaks of hate and jealously ran his blood cold. 'What could he be doing to her!' This was fuel to make him run even faster, she was there all right he could tell.

His heart was pounding, he yearned for Kagome, he couldn't let anyone have her no one! The thought of Koga touching her made his skin crawl. He found the hide out and came in shouting " KAGOME!" She responded "Inu- yasha! I'm over here!" She was struggling. He dashed over to her, she was tied up and alone, " where's the bastard did he hurt you?" Inu-yasha asked as he untied her looking around. "No, he forgot about me and him and his group went out to find you," she sounded irritated, "Ah!?" Inu-yasha placed her on his back and began to run back to the village where Miroku and Sango were. Kagome was puzzled 'why isn't he complaining about saving me?' While she was confused she finally realized that Inu-yasha had stopped, in front of them was Koga alone. "Give me back my woman!" Koga demanded. "Never and she's not 'your' woman!" Koga smirked at this. "So she's your woman then?" Kagome and Inu-yasha blushed. "N.n.no.she's not I just don't want her to be with you!" "HA! You stutter. are you just hiding the truth or what?" He had an evil smile on his face. " No I'm not lying! Kagome get out of here, I'll meet up with you later." Kagome was paralyzed. "Go!" He yelled again. She ran into a nearby forest as fast as she could. She was dazed and confused wondering if Inu-yasha cared or not about her. Then a ton of memories of Kikyo and Inu-yasha together flooded through her head. 'No wonder why he doesn't like me he's got Kikyo, I'm just a replacement for her.' The image of Kikyo and Inu-yasha kissing was clear in her mind and won't go away. Her vision began to blur from her tears welling up in her eyes. 'Why am I crying I don't even belong here.'? 'Or do I.' she sat at the edge of a small stream, and studied her reflection, teary eyes, pink blush on her cheeks, flawless nose, and soft lips. 'I'm ugly' A couple of hours later (wow time flies when your having fun) Koga ran from Inu-yasha. Both were hurt but nothing more than a few cuts and bruises, "little bastard running away at a good fight." Inu-yasha replied to no one in particular. He did have the strength to go after him so he left to go get Kagome. She was lying down on her stomach with her hand on her face, her elbow to the ground. Once and a while a little cry or tear would escape her, and she hated it. 'Why am I crying over Kikyo and Inu- yasha? I should stop he could be here any second.I wonder if he's okay?' She was too late; Inu-yasha was watching her keep in her emotions. He jumped down from the tree he was on, and Kagome wiped her tears, got up, and turned around, "hey what's up" she let out slowly and soft. "Kagome." Inu-yasha replied trying to be as sensitive as he could. What he saw broke his heart to know that while he was fighting she was crying. The only question left was, why? Why was she crying? The question was boggling his mind, he needed to know.

Well what do ya think, good, bad, somewhere in the middle (circle one) I got more chapters on paper that are good to go but I won't write more till I get some reviews so R+R. ;)
