Yay! Aren't you just sooooo happy for me? I finally updated my story! It's
not that I don't want to, but rather because of the fact that I don't
really have the time to update. I'm trying really hard to have two or three
succeeding chapters in my story before I post one, so that I know that I
can have something to post a few days after, and that's what is taking me
so long...but PLEASE read and review!!! I really need your input in the story
so that I can know how to better improve my writing, and also get some
ideas from you as to what should happen next, because, as of right now, I
have no clue. But...anywho...enough of my pointless rambling...onto the story, I
say!

He took a step closer, holding his hand out to Kagome, a pained expression apparent on his face. Kagome only pulled the bowstring tighter. Tears started flow down her cheeks, unchecked. Guilt shriveled his stomach, although he had no idea what he had done. "Don't doubt my words, Inu-Yasha," Kagome whispered to him, knowing full well that he could hear, and making sure that none of the others could. "I love you, but I am not willing to risk the lives of others in a fruitless pursuit for a happiness that will never happen. Everything was a lie, our friendship, your love for me, your feelings, your worry, your guilt, everything. It was all a lie. You betrayed me, and you will never earn back my trust, because you will never get the chance to," she was ready to let loose the arrow. "Wait, Kagome," Inu-Yasha whispered, the words coming out with great difficulty, he didn't, after all, want to say the wrong thing, " Just...just please...listen to me for a moment," she said nothing. By the look in her eyes, he could tell that she was willing to give him a second, and so started what he was going to say, before she changed her mind. "Kagome, I don't understand what's happening, because I don't know what happened in the first place. I lost control of myself. I have no memory of anything except for you running away and then blacking out," he could see that she was quickly running out of patience. To see the tears running down in streams on her face made him want hold her and never let go until the pain was gone. He also knew that he would probably never have that chance again, and his heart sunk even lower. "It's just that I..." am I dreaming, he thought, or is she starting to sway? She seems a little out of it. Something's not right... Kagome fell forward and Inu-Yasha was right there to catch her. He looked at Kagome's face and her eyes flickered open for a second. "Inu...Ya...sha..." she whispered. Then everything was quiet.

Darkness surrounded her, chilled her to her bones, frightened her out of her wits. There was something there...A clawed hand ran down one of her arms, breathed on her neck. When she turned to see what it was...there was only darkness. Water...she could hear water dripping. As she focused on the sound, a shiver ran down her spine. Tears running down her face, she began to run towards something...but what? She asked herself. There was no time to wonder about anything. Every part of her being needed to be concentrated on getting away from the dark being. Something was pulling her away from the sound of water. She didn't know why, but the feeling of great evil seemed less prominent in that direction...she shook her head. The footsteps! Her footsteps! The sound echoed in this place, devoid of light and warmth, devoid of anything but the dripping of water and the monster that followed her relentlessly. The sound of her footsteps echoed, each echo louder than the last, filling her head to the brink of insanity. The creature that followed breathed as heavily as she did, its breath reeked of death. Kagome wrinkled her nose in disgust and tried to run faster.
Light...there was a light up ahead. It was so far, though. She didn't know if she could make it. I must, she told herself. I must get through this. In her heart, she willed the light to come closer...it complied. She collapsed as she entered to ring of light, knowing the being would follow her no farther. Breathing heavily, she sat up and looked to where she had come from. The beast snarled viciously just outside the boundary of the light, yellow fangs gleaming, tipped red with blood, red eyes blazing in the fury of losing its prey.
Kagome closed her eyes for a second and breathed in a deep, cleansing breath. I'm safe, for now, she thought. But where am I?

Yeah, yeah...short chapter, I know...but its been a while since I updated this since I've been working on other stories. Feel free to tell me what you think so that I can know whether or not I should continue on with the story.
