Chap 10: Straying on the wrong path

By: Kagome

A/N: Once again, you must pay attention to details and -- I hadn't been wotking on focs but other stuff --;; well, here is the next chap.

Fire burned in her lungs, why was she hurting? Opening her eyes slowly, the hut seemed.... dead. Once she rose uneasily to her feet to walk from the hut, Inuyasha came through and swept her into his arms as she was about to fall, "Inuyasha......" she whispered with relief. He set her down on the cot that was in the hut, "Kagome, I.." he said softly before leaving her there.

Of course, she was wondering what he was trying to say, she followed him silently, out of hearing distance. When he stopped, her heart pounded as she backed away, she had to run. Turning around she ran to the only place she found safe. She fell once reaching the well, out of breath and in tears. "I-I-Inuyasha....." she whispered before she climbed into the well, not caring if she had forgottten her bag. As she climbed out, she dropped to the ground, tears dropping to the ground. He had chosen Kikyou... he was leaving with her, he'd been leaving, he'd never come for her.

As she leaned against the welll, she cried more, not knowing what to do anymore....

Her wrists were sore, she was numb, she couldn't move.... opening her eyes slowly, chocolate brown eyes widened with terror at the site before her, Inuyasha, against the wall opposite of her, pinned with a sword through his heart, as well as swords in his arms, holding him there. His amber eyes filled with the same terror as she was feeling at this moment. Struggling, she looked to her arms and legs, she... was chained to the wall, "I-Inuyasha!" she cried out with a hoarse voice.

Bowing her head a bit, she only looked up with the sound of the door opening, "N-Naraku?!" she asked as her body froze, her lungs closing off her passage of air, no longer alloing her to breathe, "Why.... haven't you killed me? Why are you letting me suffer?!" she cried, fighting the tears that fought to come out.

"Because..... I made you the ideal woman........" his voice rang before she blacked out.

/¤/ Kagome shifted in her sleep, a cool breeze blew her legs. Curling up into the fur.. Fur? Her eyes opened quickly and spotted the scenery, a cave, Kouga's cave..... "K-Kouga?" she asked softly, sitting up once more, looking at the clothes she was wearing, fur? Much like Kouga's, "Kouga?" she asked standing up once more, wandering from the cave. Spotting Kouga, she gave a small smile, now she could figure out where Inuyasha had gone, "Kouga.... where is Inuyasha?" she asked, tilting her head slightly. Kouga turned to Kagome, giving a small frown, "So you've forgotten?" he asked, taking her into his arms.

"Kouga.... let me go...... where is Inuyasha? And what do you mean forgotten?" she asked pulling away from him, Kouga shook his head, "Kagome, he abandoned you.... " he said watching her slowly back away. Kagome shook her head, "N-No.... he didn't........" she said running into the cold wall of the cave, slipping to the ground, "N-No....." she covered her ears with her hands, he didn't leave her.... he..... didn't..... Slowly, her eyes closed once more, covering the chocolate orbs once more... falling into another tradgic sleep..../¤/

/=/ Huff, huff, huff, "Inuyasha!!!" she screamed as she ran, tripping on a root, "S-stop..... please......." she cried as she felt claws rake along her back, a high pitched scream escaped her lips, scurrying as fast as she could before the final blow could be given to her, "Please Inuyasha! SNAP OUT OF IT!!!!" she screamed as she felt the claws strike her once more, a small sigh escaped her lips, as she felt her life slip from the grip of her hands. /=/

Inuyasha watched Kagome, her face, switching from emotions of sorrow, to fear, to hate. And repeating, "KAGOME!!" he yelled to the sleeping form of the girl, "Wake up..." he said hugging her close. He was glad that no one else was in the hut, otherwise....
