Prologue

"Most people, in their lives have experienced happy moments, sad moments, joyful moments, uncertain moments,...etc. But most unfortunate is the person who would have to experience all of these emotions crashing down upon them in a matter of days. This was the case of Kagome Higarashi."

Pain flashed through her. She could still remember the time when Inu-Yasha had held her close, swearing to protect her. She remembered all the times when he would rush to save her. She had always tried to deny the fact that Inu-Yasha only cared for her because she could detect the Shikon Shard. That perhaps he could care for her as perhaps a friend, maybe even more... "No chance of the latter" Kagome thought. But now, she wasn't so sure of it anymore.

What had happened? Inu-Yasha had gone to "save" Kikyou again.

*Flashback*

"Oh it was horrible...demons everywhere...until an elegant young priestess...came and...saved us...she said her name...was...Kikyou..." a poor old man trailed on.

And as usual, Inu-Yasha rushed to "save" her leaving everyone behind. Surprised? Kagome sure wasn't.

*End Flashback*

"Kikyou? I'll go save you! You're so much more important than anything in the world! It doesn't matter that I'm leaving Kagome, Sango, Miroku, and Shippo behind just as long as I can and save you!" said Kagome in a voice imitating Inu-Yasha.

"Kagome-chan?" replied Sango in an easily recognizable irritated voice. "He never said that!"

"So? Couldn't you tell it was what he wanted to say? Eesh! This is like what? The third time he's done this in a week! You would have thought he'd have learned by know that Naraku's tricking him...well, I guess, that's probably what happens when you...love someone..." Kagome yelled back at Sango.

"Kagome-Chan?"

"..."

"Kagome. Don't be like that...I want you to be happy." Shippo worriedly stated, looking up at her from his position in her arms. "Stupid Inu-Yasha making my `okaasan` so worried and upset." thought Shippo angrily.

"Ah, thank you Shippo, don't worry, I'm sure Inu-Yasha will return...after he finds Kikyou"

"At least I hope so" Kagome thought.

TBC...

Authors notes: Sorry! That was pretty short...but it IS only the prologue so I thought I should first put the main problem down first. Okay, well basically, The Fate of Two Hearts will be K/I romance story, but will also include some violence. There will be a somewhat major plot later on in the story...but I can't tell you what it is now, now can I??? ^-^ It might seem a bit unoriginal at first but just wait until the major part of the story comes!

Next chapter will probably come out in one to two weeks so until then! ^-^
