Hello, hello! This is Setsuna here! I'm writing my first Inuyasha fan fic! I'm so happy! Just to let you know, this is sort of a song-fic. It goes along with " Tourniquet " by Evanescence. The first part of the fanfic will be mostly the story, the lyrics will come a bit later. I just wanna fill you in on what's going on before the real story starts and the music begins! ^-^ Well, enjoy!! Disclaimer: I own nothing of Inuyasha (( =**( ~sniffles~ )) and I don't own the song " Tournquet " or the band Evanescence, but if I did I'd be the happiest chick in the world! ^-^

* Hint: (( ~ )) Means lyrics. ~ Lyrics go here! It's not that confusing, so don't fear! ~ (( ' )) Means thoughts. (*( thoughts will probably be in italics )*) ' I'm thinking of a number b/t 1 and 10! ' (( " )) Means spoken. " I luv Inuyasha! "

Get it? Good! Now on with the show! ( I've always wanted to say that! )

PROLOGUE

'Was that what I thought it was?' Kagome wondered to herself, running through the woods, tears streaming down her pale face. Her foot steps almost seeminglessly touching the ground. She was trying hard to keep her footing on the slick forest floor. It was late at night and everyone was camped near Kaede's village. They had all been sleeping, when Kagome awoke to see Inuyasha sneaking out into the forest. Curriosidy took over and, of course, she followed him. After a few minutes, she lost him, and by the time he was found....

....Inuyasha had just been seen holding Kikyo in his arms KISSING her. They had been caught up in the heated passion, kissing like there was no tomorrow... WHATEVER! It wasn't what Kagome thought it was! But just as soon as she seen them, she ran. Where to, she didn't even know.

'How could he do that to me?' She thought. 'Just this night he told me he loved me and even made me his mate! What did I do in just a few hours to make him stray so quickly from me!?' Kagome had been running for hours in the dark woods. Her feet and sides ached from all the running and were crying out for her to stop. Her chest was pounding, lunges yelling at her for making them work so hard. Gasping in hordes of air with every step she took. Kagome fell to her knees screaming out from the pain of her broken heart, practically ignoring her aching muscles. Just hours before, Kagome and Inuyasha were together, she was his mate, and they were proving their love for each other. But something had come over Inuyasha, faster than lightening streaking across the sky.

Back in the woods with Inuyasha... what REALLY happened..

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^ *^*^*^*^*

"Argh! Kikyo you stupid bitch! What in the hell do you think you're doing!" Inuyasha yelled at the dead miko priestess. He jerked himself away from her grasp just realizing what they had been doing. She had tricked him into kissing her. "What are you talking about my lil' Inu-chan! We were just kissing! There's no harm in that, is there? After all, we do love each other!" Kikyo moved closer to Inuyasha. She wanted nothing more than to destroy Inuyasha's and her reincarnet's relationship so she could have him back. The thought of that wretched little girl having her true love sent up a heated rage throughout her body. She hated Kagome more than anything. And from the way she seen Kagome run when Inuyasha and she were kissing, her plan was working. "I don't love you! I love Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled. All of a sudden a familar scent hit his nose. 'Cherry blossoms?...Kagome!' He looked down at the dead priestess. His eyes flashing with surpirse, fear, and anger all at once. His eyebrows arched and his brow wrinkled. Anger was swelling up inside of him faster than he could control it. Kikyo noticed the look on his face and smiled. She knew what he was thinking. "Kagome was here wasn't she!" He yelled at her. "I don't see why you're so angry, Inu-chan!" Kikyo continued to smile. "You! You wretched excuse for a dead human! You tricked me! You tricked me into kissing you, knowing Kagome was watching!" Inuyasha's eyes light up in anger. A crimson red with little hints of flames dancing in his eyes. Kagome had been there, she had seen him and Kikyo kissing. 'But it isn't what she thinks! I love her! Not this dead bag of bones! Kagome!' Inuyasha shoved the dead miko priestess aside and ran after Kagome, following her scent.

Through all the tears, Kagome could have sworn she heard Inuyasha's voice calling her name. 'Why would he be calling for me? He played me for a fool! I thought he loved me! Let him have his way with me! And yet he goes running to that dead piece of dirt!' Crying Kagome thought to herself. The pain was almost unbareable. She huddled against the God Tree, pulling her knees close. She looked down at her wrists and one thought came to mind.

Running as fast as he could without tripping and falling on the wet leaf floor, Inuyasha chased after Kagome's scent. 'Gods.. what have I done? How could I do that her!?! And that bitch... that dead worthless wench trying to ruin me! How could I kiss something like that! What came over me!?! Why did I have to go out there!?!' Inuyasha scolded himself over and over again. Cursing his stupidity and thinking about what he could have done differently. He only lost his footing once, as he turned a corner. That's when he could feel it. Pain. Unbareable pain. Coming from somewhere. It was far off, but he could still feel it. Without another thought, he knew who it was. "...Kagome..."
