DISCLAIMER: I don't own Inuyasha so please don't sue!
Chapter 1: Crossed over to the dark side.
Tears streaked down Kagome's pale face. Her eyes were shut tight, and her breathing was fast and irregular. Kagome sat alone. Embracing the surrounding darkness, and allowing it to fill her mind and body. She felt paralyzed, unable to get up or move. But what was the point? Was there anything she had to do that made her get up every morning? That's right, the Shikon no kakera, and... Him
The one she looked forward to seeing, even when she didn't want to see his face because of a fight. It was a reason why she continued on with this task, and succeeded everyday. It was him that was the sunshine of her day, but he seemed to have been hidden by dark clouds; unmoving clouds.
'What happened? Why Inuyasha, why? I thought you loved me... What am I saying? He loved Kikyou, but he's always protected me nonetheless. No That wasn't Inuyasha! It couldn't have been! It didn't look like him! It wasn't him at all! It couldn't have been since he was holding Tetsusaiga, the very sword that keeps his demon nature at bay. I refuse to believe that it was him!' Kagome fought with herself, debating who the attacker was. Could it have been her dear Inuyasha?
Her breathing slowed, and moved to a more normal rhythm, as she exhausted her strength, and slipped into tender sweet darkness, that caressed her aching limps, and soothed them into its nothingness. "The Inuyasha you once knew is dead. And only I live. Get used to it girl, because one day, I'm coming for you. On that day, I am coming to kill you."
"Mmm.. Inuyasha" Kagome stirred slightly, returning to her awakening nightmares, but the voices were awakening her. The voices were calling to her.
"Kagome!"
"Wake up Kagome!"
"Okaa-san! Please wake up! Okkaaa-sssaannn!!"
Kagome Shifted in her sleep, the darkness slipping away from her, allowing reality to pierce her. She shivered as the cool breeze blew across her body, and prickled her sensitive skin. "KAGOME!"
Kagome moaned, before slowly forcing her heavy eye lids open. The outside was hazy, and it slowly began to form vivid pictures before her eyes. Looking upon her were three worried faces. The monk, Miroku, the Demon Slayer Sango, and her adopted kit, Shippo.
"KAGOME!" The large kitsune bear hugged his mother. He was big now, a teenager, and much bigger then before, and so obviously could not jump into her arms like before.
He had the same auburn hair, only longer, but tied up in a tight bun above his head. He still had his same Kimono, (of course bigger) and he looked to be quite the man. His voice was slightly deeper, and now Shippo could perform more then just 'tricks' but he was still the little frightened Shippo as always, only show casing real courage in the midst of true danger. In other words, he was Shippo, only older and more mature.
"Lady Kagome! Are you alright?"
Kagome slowly rose, brushing off long astray bangs. "Fine thanks Miroku," she mumbled. Sango sighed.
"We were worried about you. When you passed out." Sango hugged her, and Kagome sighed in relief. Sango, who was like an older sister to her was always there when needed. The two hadn't changed too much in looks, but they had certinatly matured, especially when it came to their relationship. Miroku and Sango were already planning on marriage, but only AFTER they had pieced the Shikon no tama as one.
The group of four, along with Kirara, walked through the ruins of the village, shaking their heads. Sango turned to Kagome. "Kagome are you sure you're alright?"
"For the fifth time yes! You don't have to keep worrying over me," sighed Kagome.
Miroku and Sango looked at each other.
"No, because we thought, that with the whole Inuyasha situation, you'd break down or something." Kagome stared, face paling, and pupils decreasing in size. Her breath went ragged and she slowly fell.
"Okaa-san!" Shippo caught the falling Kagome in his arms, and she held on to his kimono, tears trailing down her cheeks. "I thought that it never happened, that maybe it was all a nightmare, a big nightmare But I guess it's true.. Inuyasha has crossed over to the dark side"
