Chapter 3 - Heading Back

'What did I just do?' Kagome thought to herself.
Now the tears were flowing ten times as fast as before. She started running in the direction of the camp. She gained speed as she flew down a path on a hill. It was probably the fastest she had ever run in her life; even after all of those times she was chased by demons.
"Inu Yasha! Inu Yasha!" Kagome screamed as she neared the camp site.
Sango, Miroku, and Shippou heard her screams and ran towards her.
"Kagome! Are you all right?" they said in unison.
At this point, Kagome was well past worn out and collapsed onto her knees. Tears were still streaming down her face.
"Where's Inu Yasha?" Kagome cried.
"We have not seen Inu Yasha since he went to follow you," said Miroku.
"What happened?" asked Sango.
"I'll make him pay when I find him!" yelled Shippou. He hated it when his surrogate mother cried because of Inu Yasha.
"Shippou no! It was my fault." She said.
'It's all my fault. I wish I never got angry. Gods why was I such a baka?" she thought.
"Should we go look for him?" asked Miroku. Just then, a slight, yet cold breeze blew in and sent a chill up Kagome's spine.
"No. He's not coming back. We won't be able to find him." Said Kagome sadly. Miroku, Sango, and Shippou exchanged glances at one another, and then turned their eyes back to Kagome. Kagome let out a loud sigh. The tears had finally stopped coming down her face, but everything inside of her was tense and in a pain that no one could heal. Well, no one but a certain dog demon.
"We should keep on heading back to the village." Kagome said with a hint of misery still in her voice. "Right now, he doesn't want to be found, but he knows where we'll be."
Kagome stood up and staggered a little. Sango reached out to try and help, but Kagome pushed her away. Eventually, she regained her balance and composure and walked to the campsite. She finished her packing and waited for the others to be ready. When everything was done, they headed for the village. However, in Kagome's mind, it was the Bone-Eaters well that she intended to get back to.

End of Chapter. What's going to happen next? Buwahaha! Even I don't know!
