Chapter 2~lost and found!



"What is she doing here?" asked Kagome. "She's here to help me find the rest of the shards of the jewel," answered Inuyasha dully. Kagome mouth hung down in suprise.

"What!?" exclaimed Kagome when she found her voice. "Didn't you hear what he said?" asked Kikyou narrowing her eyes.

"But...but..."stumbled Kagome, "But what about me?"

"You are not needed nor wanted here," said Kikyou.

"No Kagome can stay," said Shippou. Kikyou spun around to face Shippou anger clearly written on her face. Shippou covered behind Sango.

"Is that what you want Inuyasha?" asked Kagome softly.

"Of course it's what he wants he has no use of you if I'm here," answered Kikyou turning around to face her. "I asked Inuyasha," she said through clenched teeth.

"Yes. You can return to your own time now Kagome," said Inuyasha his tone indifferent.

"Oh," said Kagome sadly. She turned away from them, "I see." she sniffed .

"I guess..." stammered Kagome tears forming in her eyes, "I'll leave now." with that said she fled to the forest.

"Lady Kagome!" exclaimed Sango standing up to follow her. Kikyou stopped her. "No, let her go,"said Kikyou. Sango narrowed her eyes at the evil priestess before her.

"You had no right at all..."started Sango.

"To what? I am just reclaiming what was mine," answered Kikyou icily.

"That is right," said Miroku, "what was yours. It's not your duty now, it's Kagome's".

"Yeah," agreed Shippou. "And Inuyasha why did you agree to work with her?" asked Miroku.

"It's what had to be done," answered Inuyasha.



Kagome blindly ran through the forest. 'How could he do that?' thought Kagome as tears poured out her eyes blurring her vision. 'Why hadn't I seen it before? He only used me to find the jewels and now that he has Kikyou, what does he need me for? I'm useless to him. I loved him, foolishly . And I'd hope... maybe he'd felt the same way but I guess I was wrong. He probably never got over Kikyou.'

'To him I'll probably only be the jewel detector or in other terms the reincarnation of Kikyou his true love.' Finally Kagome knees buckled in on her and she fell to the ground sobbing uncontrollably.

Her shoulders shaking, she began wailing louder the more she thought of the situation. She cried until she could cry no more. Her hair became tousled, her usual lively face was tear-stained with dry tears, her usual cheerful brown eyes (or is it blue?), dull and full of hurt and betrayal as she stared at nothing in particular.

Numbly she stood up and prepared to leave. When she tried to walk her foot got stuck in an uprooted tree root and she jerked her foot out only to plunge down a hill. Her screams were muffled as helplessly rolled and bumped down the rocky hill. It was painful and she was slowly losing conscious from the pain.

She was thrown in the air when she hit a boulder the wrong way spraining her ankle and her arm. She yelped when she felt at felt it before she hit the branches falling to the ground. "H-help," Kagome barely whispered as darkness overcame her vision. Her words disappearing in the wind.

Sesshoumaru's ears perked. To human ears they would not heard the faint voice but Sesshoumaru was no human. Help, was what he heard. A voice that sounded peculiarly familiar. He lifted his nose slightly in the air as a scent of blood hit it. 'Human blood,' thought Sesshoumaru, 'familiar human blood. Not far from here'.

Please R/R. Also this is our first fanfiction story. Except Bettie-chan she already wrote a story. Rated PG-13 for later chapters.
