Authors note!!!! So everyone knows, the parents did NOT agree to their children participating in the program! They were not informed until AFTER the students arrived at the island! If the parents rebelled against the government, they were immediately killed! Sorry I didn't mention that before. Thanks for the reviews! They mean a lot to me! NOW ON WITH THE STORY!

Kagome sat huddled in an abandoned house she had found. Her body temperature had dropped dramatically and she was shaking uncontrollably. Her bow gun lay beside her, an arrow ready incase she needed to use it. Her senses had sky rocketed and she was aware of every change that occurred around her. A small rustle from outside brought her out of her thoughts.

'Wonder who that could be.'

Kagome pulled herself into a crouching position, her bow gun in her hands, poised to shoot. The door to the house creaked open, Kagome hid in the shadows, observing the silhouette in the doorway. The figure paused, searching the room, thinking it was empty, he/she turned and motioned others to follow. Kagome groaned inwardly as 3 more figures appeared. It was the school gang.

'Great, it's Haidekai Kamai, Ryuhei Sasagawa, Hiroshi Kuronaga, and Mitsuru Numai.'

Kagome pulled out the knife she had found in Mayumi Tendo's bag. She watched in silence as the 4 boys shoved and joked with each other.

'Ignorant fools; they have no idea how loud they are being.'

Staying hidden in the shadows Kagome stood. She crept closer to the boys holding the bow gun in her right hand and the knife in the left. She had caught them utterly off guard. She smirked as she aimed and threw the knife. It landed squarely in the forehead of Haidekai Kamai with a soft thud. He body swayed slowly back and forth. He tried to see the knife implanted in his head, the effort made his head arch back. Suddenly he rutted to the ground in a small heap. The others looked around frantically, not knowing where the dagger had come from. Kagome noiselessly crept away to a new position; her bow gun throbbed in her hands, calling for blood.

'Now for the next one.'

The first arrow silently exploded from the gun, piercing the first the chest of Ryuhei, another brought down Hiroshi. Now only Mitsuru was left. Kagome steeped from the shadows in to the pool of blood. He stood frozen, terror cemented on his features.

"K-kagome.y-you did this?" his whisper was barely perceptible.

Kagome just stood staring at him. She slowly raised her gun and shot an arrow at his head. Blood splattered on her white shirt as she watched him die.

"Baka," she said. She spat on him. "I despise you."

With that she turned, gathered the scattered weapons, and left the house of death.

Inuyasha slowly climbed out of the well, he ached all over.

'Damn Sango, you're dead when I get back!'

Once out of the well house Inuyasha sniffed the air. He could smell blood, lots of blood. The smell was faint, but he was certain.

'That is NOT my concern right now,' (OH HOW WRONG HE IS!! HA-HA!)

Inuyasha made his way to Kagome home. He first looked to the window, which was usually spilling with cheery light; it was now dark as death.

"How odd" Inuyasha thought aloud, "Guess she's downstairs."

He walked around the house to the front door and walked in. he didn't bother with a knock or doorbell. As soon as he walked he was aware of someone's presence. He walked into the living room, only to find Kagome's mom slumped over on the couch, tears leaking from her puffy eyes.

"Mrs. Higurashi, what's wrong?" Inuyasha's voice was dripping with alarm.

"K-kagome.." She began to say, but then her voice faded off.

"What about Kagome? What happened to her?" Inuyasha panic was growing

"She was picked for the program." Sota appeared behind Inuyasha his face blank as he continued to speak, "The program is a game the government has created, and each year a 9th grade class is picked to participate. In this game the students are forced to kill each other off until there is only one survivor. If they do not participate, or the game exceeds a time limit, the collars put on their necks explode and there is no winner. The game is held on an evacuated island, no one knows where until the game is over. This year Kagome's class was picked."

At the last statement, Sota's monotone faded and his voice cracked, his mask cracked and his face contorted with sorrow. He broke down as sobs racked his small shoulders. Inuyasha stood in stunned silence as the information processed in his head. Kagome+game=DEATH.

"NO! We have to do something! We can't let her die like this!" Inuyasha was now thoroughly panicking.

"I-Inuyasha," Mrs. Higurashi's soft voice pried its way into Inuyasha's thoughts. "Please, please, go save Kagome, she needs you.." Once again her voice faded away.

Inuyasha suddenly remembered the blood that softly blanketed the air. He nodded to himself as he raced out of the shrine.

"I'll find you Kagome! I promise!" (Authors note: will he fulfill his promise? It makes you wonder huh?) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Good morning students! Having fun! Seems as if at least one of you is seeing as 6 of your fellow classmates have been killed!" Sakamochi's cheerful voice rang out from loudspeakers placed around the island. "Now for the list of the deceased: Haidekai Kamai, Ryuhei Sasagawa, Hiroshi Kuronaga, Mitsuru Numai, Yoshio Akamatsu, AND Mayumi Tendo. Now children, listen up! This is important! As a precaution we have set up a, well, a sort of boundary around the school. If you come within 200 meters of it, your collar will automatically explode! So stay away if you value you lives. That's all for now, I will make another announcement later! Keep up the good work!" with that, Sakamochi's voice was cut off abruptly.

Izumi stood from her crouched position and began to slink among the trees towards Kagome's new hiding place. It had taken her awhile to hunt her down, but at last Izumi had found the one she was looking for. Izumi had seen the change in Kagome and decided to test her.
'This girl could be useful to me, and I could be useful to her. But she is also a big threat.'

Izumi stopped her train of thought as she came upon a sleeping Kagome. She crept over to her figure, while pulling her newly acquired scythe, and.

Authors note! I thought this was a good place to stop it. I am trying to write a chapter a day, so bear with me. I almost wasn't able to write this chapter due to computer difficulties! Thanks to all the reviewers! I really, really, really appreciate your input! UNTIL NEXT TIME! GOOD-BYE!
