Chapter 1 - New destination, old enemy

Kagome sighed, sitting on a log, the fire crackling and flames dancing in the sky.

Miroku was asleep. Well, not willingly. He was knocked out after he attempted to grope Sango once again. Sango was on the opposite side of Miroku alseep, clinging to her boomerang possesively.

Shippou was curled up next to Kilala and vis-versa.

Kagome shook her head. 'Where are you Inuyasha?' Kagome thought, fear entering her mind. Inuyasha had left a few hours ago, saying he had smelt a demon and was going to go see if it was a threat.

'What am I sitting here for?' She scolded herself. 'Inuyasha might be in trouble. I'm going to find him.' She thought bravely, grabbed her arrows, and began to head out in the direction in which Inuyasha had went.

A few minutes later, she could of sworn she heard a voice. No, wait! Two voices. And they sounded extremely familiar. Like Inuyasha and Kikyou..

'Oh no..' She thought, and headed in the direction of the voices.

She spotted them behind some bushes, and quickly ducked behind them and held her breath.

Kikyou touched Inuyasha cheek, smiling seductively. "Inuyasha..You do love me right?" She asked, now caressing the hanyou's soft cheek.

"Of course Kikyou, I've always loved you." He replied, swooning.

"But what about the girl? My reincarnation?" She asked, her voice beginning to turn to anger. Not directed at Inuyasha, but at Kagome.

Inuyasha placed his hand over Kikyou's. "She is nothing but a shard detector. She means nothing to me. She is just your shadow." He said.

"So..If I were to desire to help you collect to jewel shards..Would you get rid of the interference?" She asked, smirking.

"Of course, Kikyou."

"What if she decides to stay?" She asks.

"Then I'll kill her." He said, and planted his face into Kikyou's hair, enhaling her scent. 'Why am I doing this?' He thought. He knew he would never really kill Kagome, or hurt her for that matter. But why was he saying he would? He wanted to kill HIMSELF for saying such things!

'Oh no.' Kagome thought. Her heart felt like it had dropped all the way down to her stomach. 'He does love her..I'm just a shard detector..' She thought, tears now spilling down her cheeks.

Inuyasha sinced the salty tears, and instantly smelt Kagome's scent. 'Oh no.' He thought, and turned to where Kagome was currently knelt down, looking at the ground, her once bright, honey brown eyes now washed out and emotionless.

"Kagome!" He yelled desparately. "I-"

"Don't even say a word! I heard the whole thing! I'm just a shadow to you?! And to think I even loved you! Stay away from me INUYASHA! FOREVER! You can go to hell with Kikyou, it doesn't make a difference anymore, I don't give a damn!" She cried, and ran off.

"Kagome!" Inuyasha cried, and begin to run after her but was stopped when Kikyou pushed her lips against his, and he begin to kiss her back. In his mind he was furious! 'Why the hell am I kissing Kikyou!?' He asked, but begin to deepen the kiss.

Kagome ran up to the camp site, trying to stop her crying when she got there to keep the group from awakening. She smiled faintly. 'I have to do this. I can't stay here anymore..Not with Inuyasha..' She said, feeling the urge to burste out crying again, but some how blocked the urge and dug in her backpack and got out a piece of paper and a pencil and begin to write:

I've decided to leave, everyone. I'm really sorry, but I can't seem to stay here any longer. I'm sure Inuyasha can fill you in on the information, as he's the one that caused me to make this difficult decision. I bid you guys farewell. Maybe we'll see each again some day, though the chances are low. Sango, you are a great friend, remember that. Miroku, you are a bit of a hentai, but a great person. Shippou, I'll still be your foster mom, but I won't see you for awhile. And to Inuyasha, I have no desire or need to put anything good about you, as there is nothing. I leave you all, safe travels to us all. Ja ne.

~ Kagome

She smiled grimly, ripped the jewel shards off her necklace and placed it next to Sango and quickly grabbed her backpack and turned to leave. She stopped, to take one more glance at her former companions..Her friends.. "Good-bye, everyone." She said so quietly even she couldn't hear her words, and headed off.

Sesshomaru was standing on a tall mountain, intriged by the situation that just took place. 'So, Inuyasha's wench is leaving.' He thought amusingly. He suddenly noticed she was headed for the Western lands, HIS lands. He growled, and rushed off to stop her. NO ONE entered HIS territory and lived! Especially a human!

Kagome sighed. She had been travling for almost two hours now, and the sun was beginning to rise above the mountains. She used to love the sun, but Inuyasha took her brightness away, so the sun was merely a memory of her formal happy, cheerful self, which meant she despised it.

"What are you doing in MY lands, wench?" Sesshomaru said coolly, from behind her, making Kagome turn around. Sesshomaru nearly gasped. He had never been close to her before. And when he was, he was usually desiring to kill her. 'She looks descent once you get a good look at her.' He thought, and then mentally slapped himself. 'No, humans are all filthy, disguisting creatures. None of them posses beauty.' He thought.

He quickly grabbed her by the throat, but was surprised when her eyes remained emotional, and he felt as if he was looking at his reflection.

"What? Are you going to kill me?" She said, smiling faintly. "Please say yes. Please.."

Sesshomaru growled. He wasn't expecting her to say that. His was use to his victim yelling and screaming for mercy. He smirked. She wanted him to kill her. Perhaps if he took her to his castle, THEN she would beg for mercy.

"No, I suppose I could make you work at my castle. Since you desire to die so much. It's not fun when my victim doesn't grovel." He thought, and poked one of his sharp claws into her neck.

"You..Bastard.." She choked out, and fell unconious.

Sesshomaru smirked. He knew his half brother would come looking for her at one point, as the expression on his face when the wench left him practically said exactly that. A cloud appeared under his feet, and he quickly picked up the unconious Kagome, and headed to his castle.

Maylia: Hoha! I know this kind of plot has been done before..But it'll be different, trust me. Please review and I'll allow you to glomp Sesshomaru's tail as much as you want. ^__^
