Fifteen minutes later Kagome finds herself lost in the woods, with tears streaming down her cheeks, she walks down a path. Fear making her jumpy, tears making her vision blurry and sadness making her heart heavy. "I don't understand, what am I going to do?" Kagome sits down on a rock and begins to cry. "Beg you pardon miss, but why are you crying?" a light male voice asks. At the sound of the voice Kagome clutches Tetsusaiga closer, she looks into the shadows, "Who.who's there?" she asks in the toughest voice she could muster, which comes out as a squeak. "My name is Damien, what's yours?" The gentle voice asks. Kagome gets to her feet, and holds the untransformed Tetsusaiga out in front of her, "Show yourself," she hisses. A man appears he is dressed like a lord, his Kimono is made of blood red silk, his long black hair flows about his shoulders. Kagome takes a step backwards, Tetsusaiga still in front of her. "Please m'dear I don't wish to hurt you, I'm here to help." The man says warmly, "are you in danger?" he tuts shaking his head sadly, "These woods are no place for such a beautiful girl," Kagome looks at him quizzically, "I need help finding my friends, a monk and a demon slayer, they have a young Kitsu with them," she says holding Tetsusaiga close to her chest, tears stinging her eyes. The man offer her a handkerchief, "Its alright," he coos, " Is someone after you?" he asks taking her hand. Kagome feels a strange sensation stir in her stomach, like a thousand worms moving inside her. Suddenly sharp pain shoots through her body, she pulls her hand away. "Why would you think that?" she asks nonchalantly, looking up at the man. The man smiles reassuringly, "Because you had such a frightened look upon you face." He says gently, his hand coming up to caress her cheek. Kagome takes a step back, she glares, "Why do I feel so drawn to him?" she wonders fear making her stomach tighten, "Oh Inu-yasha, please be okay," her mind whispers. "Who, What, are you?" she asks looking for the nearest escape rout. "I am Damien," the man mutters, "and you are?" he asks his voice like honey. Kagome looks into his dark gray eyes a gasp escapes her lips as she feels herself being pulled into them, strong hands grab her shoulders she cries out in pain as her world turns black.
