Chapter 1: Mom........
Kagome jumped into the well with a frightened expression. "No," she whispered hoarsely. This can't be happening! she thought desperately. She jumped out of the other side of the well and ran into Inuyasha's forest. She stumbled a bit on a root from a large tree and fell, scraping both her knees. She ignored the pain and scrambled off. She held her side from a cramp that was developing. She had been running for about an hour now and could hardly breathe. "I......have...to....find....Inu...yasha." She panted through clenched teeth.
A ragged sob tore through her worn-out body, and she collapsed in a heap. A few miles away, Inuyasha sensed Kagome's return and bounded off to find her. As he got closer, he could smell a faint scent of Kagome's blood. He skidded to a stop a few metres away from her motionless body. "Wh..what the hell?" He gasped, "Kagome, wake up!" He knelt down beside her and scooped her up gently in his arms. He looked at the red tracks down her cheeks and suspected right away that she'd been crying, and probably still would have been......if she were conscious.
Inuyasha burst into Kaede's hut forcefully. "Can you.....help her?" He asked worriedly. "Hai child, I would, but there seems to be nothing seriously wrong." She stated, a bit curious as to why Inuyasha would be so worried. "What happened to ye?" She asked as she looked over Kagome's torn clothes. "I don't have a clue!" He snapped, "I was just walking along in the forest when I sensed that she had returned and when I found her...well....." He looked at Kagome's solemn face sadly, as if turning to the unconscious girl for support. His head shot up suddenly when he heard a soft sniffle come from Kagome. "Wh..where am I?" she asked quietly. "It's okay, you're at Kaede's hut" Inuyasha said softly as he knelt by her side, "What happened?" Instantly, she broke down crying. "I....I'm sorry, please don't cry!" Inuyasha wailed. "It's not y...your f...fault, I....I..." kagome sobbed. "What happened to you?" He pushed. Somehow he felt she had to get it out of her system, and so did she, because the next thing she did was yell: "My mom is dead!!!" Inuyasha couldn't move. He knew exactly how it felt to lose your mom. "How'd it happen?" He asked quietly, furious that this had to happen to Kagome. He new she now had no family except for her little brother Sota. Her father had died when she was very little and her grandpa had died a year ago. "She died just a few hours ago....wh...when...when she was sweeping th.....the steps t..to the shrine. A man walked into the yard and....and....SHE WAS SHOT!!!!!" She screamed. Inuyasha layed his ears flat to his head out of fear she would blow his ear drums out. "I'm so sorry," he replied sadly, "If I had known...." He stopped the sentence suddenly, out of surprise. Kagome threw herself into his body and sobbed violently into his chest.
"I'm sorry." He whispered solemnly and embraced her trembling body.
