~A/N: Hey guys! I know I haven't been updating lately, and I am sorry for it. Really!!! I already have the following future chapters, but I just don't have the time to type it so, I am very sorry! (Is it just me? Or am I always saying sorry to you guys?) I know I also promised that this next page to be a review responses corner, but based from what I read in your reviews, I think you'd like it better, if I put up the next chapter. I'll just put up the review responses corner, if you guys would like it, or when I can find time for it aside from typing in my chappies. And so, here is the next chapter.Beauty, is not what it seems.~

Titile: "Surprises of Fate"

By: chibi-chan

Chapter 5: Beauty, is not what it seems

Disclamer: If you haven't read it in the past chapters,
then go back and read it!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Sadness, Grief, Hurt, Pain, and Sorrow. These are all the emotions Kagome

is feeling right now, after her argument with Inuyasha. She could even still

remember the words Inuyasha said to her a while back.

**Flashback**

"See what I mean, you damm bitch!!! Can't you see that you're needed

here? Without you, we couldn't find the shards. Don't you even know that

you have a very big responsibility here? If Kikyo was only here, then the

task of completing the jewel wouldn't even be existing in the first place?"

**End of Flashback**

Hot tears streamed her face after remembering those words. Especially the

part, when Inuyasha talked about Kikyo. She ran and ran until to the extent

that her feet can take her. Where? She doesn't know. All she know, is that

she needed to get away from the one she loved, and hated at the same time.

Inuyasha.

'Kikyo.always Kikyo! That damm bitch! Why don't he just stay with her!

Damm Inuyasha! Damm Kikyo!'

To her grief, she didn't realized just how far she had ran. She kept on

running and running until her legs would finally fell. But still, she didn't

stop. Because on her mind, she still needed to get away from Inuyasha as far

as possible.

Branches and bushes scratched and tore her clothing. And when

she finally looked like a torn rag doll, her legs collapsed. Fortunaltely,

consciousness was still with her. She took this time to take in her breath, and

absorb her newly found surroundings. It was then that she realized just how

far had she ran. Around her, were tall and sturdy trees, that gives an

impression of a dark and evil place. In the middle of these trees, was a

clearing.

A clearing of beautiful and blooming flowers. Curious about its radiating

beauty, she walked her way toward the clearing. She was astonished of what

she saw as she sat beside the bed of flowers. She then plucked a flower,

which closely resembled a rose. Admiring the flower in hand, she smelled

it. Sweet smelling aroma came from it. It tingled her senses and tickled her

nose. Suddenly, she became terribly dizzy. Her head spinned and was ready

to faint. Before unconsciousness overcame her, she saw too looming figures

from above. She then finally collapsed, and fell into the darkness that called

unto her.

Then, one of the looming figures over her, spoke.

"Now we have her! You can't escape us now, miko! We can finally claim

the true power of the Shinkon no Tama! And no one can stop us!"

The second one, just nodded in agreement. And then carefully and

cautiously, took the jewel from her neck, and then prepared to gather the

sleeping miko.
