Lost

Kagome stared down at her feet as she walked. Slowly but surely she was making her way to her goal- a small white kite she had brought back from her time. She laughed to herself at the previous hour.

"What is this thing?"
"It's a kite Inuyasha..."
"So what do you with it?"
"Well...you fly it." Inuyasha raised his eyebrow. Kagome's cheeks turned a small pink.
"It's not as boring as it sounds Inuyasha. Just give it a try." She smiled but Inuyasha had already turned his back on her and she was now staring at nothing but red and silver. By the time the hour was over, everybody had had a turn with the flying object - even Inuyasha. But a draft had caught the kite and it was lifted from Inuyasha's hands before he could regain the small string back into his grasp. He grumbled as he made his way into the woods to retrieve Kagome's precious kite. A small hand grabbed his shoulder.
"Forget about it Inuyasha. It couldn't have gone too far and I need the exercise." Inuyasha opened his mouth to protest but Kaede quickly shut it.
"Inuyasha...all the demons are moving towards Naraku's castle in the East, besides... one of the villagers needs help putting up his walls for his hut. It will take only 30 minutes at the most and Kagome will still be in your hearing distance."
"See Inuyasha. No worries. I'll be back before you know it. Actually, I'll just say my goodbyes now and head home. Big Geometry test tomorrow."

That was an hour ago considering Inuyasha was still reluctant to let Kagome leave. But, she had finally found her kite sitting up amongst leaves and branches. Kagome looked up towards the kite , almost falling over in the process. Wow, that's high. Maybe I SHOULD go back and get Inuyasha. Kagome quickly shook that thought out of her head and began climbing. Here and there she would scrape her leg or arm but she kept climbing, just to prove to Inuyasha that she could climb any tree without any help from the hanyou.

Finally she had reached it and a sense of happiness and relief of accomplishing her goal washed over her as her small fingers curled around tip of the cream colored kite. A smile brushed her face and she made her way down. Towards the middle of the tree , one of Kagome's clusmy feet came out from under her and her shoulder landed hard on the branch before she started to slide off completely. Instinctively she grabbed for the branch , letting the kite fall gracefully to the ground. I won't fall that graceful if I don't get myself out of this. Kagome's mouth opened and air filled her lungs as she started to scream out her usual hero's name but her breath was stopped and and nothing came out. Where's my voice?! She tried again and still, nothing. She felt herself slipping and tried to get more control over the branch, digging her nails into the bark. Her heart beat faster anf faster out of panic and frustration.
CCRRAACCKK! The branch and Kagome began to fall towards the earth. The last thing she saw was the sunlight pouring in between the trees and a sky so blue that...wait who was that in the bushes? This was the last thing that Kagome saw and thought as jagged pain swarmed her body and her mind sunk into a dark oblivion.

A tall, masculine, shadow stood over her limp body and his mind raced back to when he first saw the girl.
Flashback
"If you can't hit his body, hit him in his ego!!" He traced a finger over her small lips and around her fine jawline.
"I should've taken your advice before he did. But, no regrets. Now he will know what is feels like to have something rightfully yours taken away."
A long finger ran over the gash on the side of the pale figure's head and returned the finger to his mouth to taste the sweet taste of Kagome's blood. A thin smile spread across his lips.
