What could be wrong with Kagome? Inuyasha pondered, quietly watching Kagome as she helped set up camp. Was it something I did? She seemed fine as soon as Miroku and Sango showed up, but I know there was something wrong... Inuyasha sat confused as ever, trying to figure out what was wrong. Soon, The little kitsune hopped over to him.
"Hey, Inuyasha, what's wrong with Kagome?" He asked Inyasha.
"How am I supposed to know??" Inuyasha replied, a bit angrily.
"Well, whatever it is, she seems really sad. She's trying not to show it, but I can still tell. You should talk to her, Inuyasha."
"Feh" he retorted. With that, the young fox demon hopped away. Maybe I should talk to her. Damn, how is that little twirp always ahead of me with these things?? Inuyasha quietly resolved to talk to Kagome later, but for now he watched the setting sun, for once enjoying his job as lookout.
Kagome sat next to what would soon be their fire, staring at the patterns in the wooden branches, trying desperately not to cry. She wanted to, she needed to, but Kagome wouldn't let herself cry in front of her friends. Pull it together girl, she thought, you're no crybaby. You've never cried over a guy before, and this is no time to start. She paused for a few minutes, pulling herself together, yet realizing why no one had ever mattered as much as Inuayasha did. It's because I love him. I know that now, but what can I do about it? He loves Kikyo still. He always will, and I can never have him. Kagome looked down at the ground, and a single tear slipped out of her eye. Then she stood up, brushed herself off, and began to work with the others on setting up camp.
Later on that night, Kagome sat thinking while the fire blazed beside her. Miroku and Sango had already fallen asleep, the little fox was snoring quietly next to her, and Inuyasha was sitting up with his eyes closed, so there was noway of knowing whether he was truly asleep or not, but Kagome felt that he wasn't paying attention either way. Kagome turned her back to the rest of the group, and slowly let the tears, hot and salty, roll silently down her cheeks. She couldn't help it any longer. She felt so weak, crying all the time like this, but if she didn't let it out, she felt she would explode. Why am I even here? All I do is hinder my friends and cause myself pain. I drag the group behind, and I can never have Inuyasha, so what reason is there to stay? Kagome decided she would leave and go who knows where, but far away from here. She quietly stood up, grabbed her backpack, put it over her shoulders, and silently slipped into the night.
Inuayasha instantly awoke from his sleep as he heard unnatural rustling in the bushes at the edge of the clearing. His eyes searching the night, he found nothing entering the clearing. However, Inuyasha felt sure he had heard something. Quickly his eyes scanned their little group. Wait a minute, he suddenly inquired, where's Kagome? He looked at where her pack had been, and noticed it too was missing. Kagome... Inuyasha thought, becoming slightly worried. He took a quick look at his friends before getting to his feet, and leaping out of their clearing in search of Kagome.
Kagome ran though the forest, bushes and trees grabbing at her clothes, and tears almost blinding her. She couldn't stop though, she knew Inuyasha would soon discpver her missing, and she also knew he would look for her. For now at least, Kagome didn't want to be found by anyone. She continued to run through the brush for about a mile, until she could no longer run with her heavy pack. Currently it was the size of a small elephant, and it was making her terribly tired. The physical and mental emotion she was under caused her to collapse to the ground. She sat there, weighted down by her backpack, trying to regain enough energy to continue. Suddenly, she felt another presence, but it didn't seem to be a friendly one. Almost as soon as she had sensed the danger, a large centipede demon appeared in front of her, it's many tongues wriggling inside and out of it's mouth.
"Give me the Jewel Shards..." It said, its voice deep and gravelly. "Give me them if you wish to live..." Oh no, Kagome thought, the Jewel Shards!! I forgot all about them in this mess with Inuyasha! Kagome began to stand up so that she could escape, when she found that her legs wouldn't work properly. She couldn't move them, and she was so exhausted there was nothing else she could do with her heavy pack hindering her. Oh no... she thought, sweat drops running down her face. "Hahaha, you can no longer move, and now the Jewel Shards, as well as your soul, will be mine!" With that, the centipede demon rushed at her, mouth open wide. Kagome began to let out a shriek, when a red blur crossed in front of her. Inuyasha...?
"Kagome, are you alright? This thing didn't hurt you did it?" Inuyasha sounded so worried about her. Kagome could hardly believe it.
"Uh-uh...I'm ok, you came...just in time." As soon as Kagome said this Inuyasha looked up at the creature and said,
"How dare you try to hurt Kagome? You won't live to hurt her again!"
"Kehehehe, that's what you think you puny half demon," it said in a gravelly voice. "It is you who shall not live," and with that the demon lunged towards Inuyasha. Inuyasha leapt into the air, and cracked his knuckles, giving the demon a disgusted look. He slowly began to come back down, and he aimed his claws at the demon's forehead. With one mighty thrust, he sank his claws into the demon, and ripped through his body until it split into two parts. Blood spurted from the body, flying through the air and covering the whole area around it with the thick dark substance. Inuyasha gently landed, shaking the blood from his hand. He turned to Kagome to see if she was all right. She seemed shaken up but in the end, ok. He walked over to her, and pulled her up from the ground.
"Thank...thank you, Inuyasha." She looked into his eyes with such sadness; Inuyasha could wait no longer for his inquiry.
"Kagome, are you alright? I can barely stand the sadness hidden deep within your eyes."
"I...I...I'm fine Inuyasha, but...I'm going away for a while. I...I don't know when I'll be back." With that, Kagome turned and fled.
"Kagome..." Inuyasha began to call out, but stopped short. For some reason, he felt he should let her go,
