Chapter Two
The Walk of Fire
"Kagome are you alright? You look a bit flustered," Said Hojo walking closer to Kagome. "I'm fine just a little windy outside today. Nothing to worry about." Kagome moved toward the small living room and sat on the old couch. Which looked like it would break at any moment. Hojo soon joined her. "Don't worry about the goats I already took care of them. As for dinner I got that covered too. So all's that's left is the chickens," Hojo said turning toward Kagome. " Oh! I'm so sorry Hojo. I totally forgot. Why didn't you remind me? ," Kagome said as her face twisted with guilt. " That's alright I don't mind, just as long as it doesn't happen to often," Said Hojo letting out a joyful laugh. "Well I've had a long day. I'll go take care of the chickens and then go to bed. Goodnight Hojo ," With that Kagome got up and left outside.
--- just a note I'm not going to keep her with Hojo for to long... in fact she's leaving tonight...I'm just impatient ---
Once Kagome had finished taking care of all the chickens she started to leave the chicken coop. As she looked toward the house she noticed people were at her door and they had torches with them. As she crept toward the house she saw that all of them were men standing near the house. Each of them holding their own torches...some holding two. As she looked closer she noticed that one of them was Naraku. Just when she was about to get up from her hiding place, Naraku suddenly started shouting to whomever may have been in the house. " Kagome come out now and I won't have to go to drastic measures." Immediately Kagome knew what he meant. She was about to let out a cry of disbelief, but stopped herself knowing that if she did she would be discovered.
Trying to calm her now frazzled mind to figure a way out of this. Then it hit her...Hojo. He was still inside the house! Now she was in real trouble... Before she could start thinking again Naraku spoke up once again, "Kagome! If you had just listened to me like you were supposed to, this wouldn't have happened! Stupid bitches like you should have learned better than to mess with me!" At that last comment he signaled to the men in the group and almost immediately they started to throwing their torches onto the roof and into the windows. Laughing as they did so.
Kagome could only watch Naraku's sinister face in the fire light as her only home started to burn. Finally she snapped out of her daze and her brain registered what had happened while she just sat there watching. She let out blood curdling scream filled with grief and despair. Immediately Naraku looked away from the burning house and looked toward the area from where the scream came. He quickly rounded up his men and they ran to where Kagome was. "So you thought you get away from me did you," Naraku practically snarled at her.
Kagome, once again, did the first thing that came to mind. She ran. Naraku and his gang started to chase after her. Now Kagome was starting to think that running might not have been a good idea. What was worse was that she had run into the woods. A very bad idea.- Then again it might have been a good idea. -As soon as she ran into the woods Naraku's gang faltered a little bit before entering after her. A few of the men who still had torches dropped them before entering the woods after Kagome, Knowing they wouldn't be of much help.
Kagome knew that she had only two things to fear in these woods and that was Naraku and the wolves. Not your ordinary wolves that will run off at a gun shot or two, No these wolves fought back no matter how many bullets you put in them. Very few encountered these wolves and returned alive and with both of either their arms or legs. Just as she starting to think the worse Kagome noticed that she was now deeper in the woods than she had ever gone before. But as long as Naraku was behind her and still a threat, Wolves seemed merely a few annoying insects buzzing around her head. And so she ran on.
Naraku had almost caught up to Kagome to where he could have reached out and grabbed her. But a flickering light behind him made him slow. It was fire, Reaching high above the tree tops and moving toward them at a very fast rate. Not caring much anymore about capturing Kagome, Naraku started running as fast as he could away from the fire to find an exit. Most of his men had already fallen back and were already swallowed into the flames as though they were merely bumps along the road.
Kagome heard the screams and looked back only long enough to take in the sight of the wall of fire moving very swiftly her way. She saw that Naraku had seen it as well and was also starting to run for his life. Knowing now that he was now taken off the big threat list, it didn't help much with a bigger one filling his place. Then they heard it, Both Kagome and Naraku nearly stumbled in there paths. Wolves.
Kagome spent no time to think. She knew she couldn't out run the wolves but maybe the fire would stall them long enough. Almost suddenly the forest nearly stopped to where there were only at least a fourth of trees that surrounded Kagome. Kagome looked quickly at her surroundings and noticed there was a faded dirt road a little to her left. She ran quickly to it, thinking this might be her way out.
Naraku had only a few men left with him now. Once they heard the wolves they quickly got together knowing that the more men they had the safer they were. After a few spoken words they figured there were about 4 wolves at most. Noticing that the fire was gaining on them, even with the lack of trees, they started to run for it. As soon as they were only a few yards away,three wolves cut in front of them. Then one went to the back to keep them going. Slowly rearing them off coarse without there knowledge. As the fourth wolf went the other way toward the dirt road.
Kagome heard the sound of paws hitting the faded dirt on the road. She looked back and wished she hadn't. A male wolf was behind her and catching up fast. He had an enormous frame and lust for blood in his eyes. He had nearly caught up to her, just barely able tosnap at her heels when the fire blazed forward so fast it caught them both by surprise with a burst of searing heat hitting them both. Kagome was the first to recover and took the chance to get a head start.
The wolf quickly recovered as well and was soon on Kagome's heels. Now with the wolf right on her tail and the wall of fire behind and beside her she had no choice but to go straight. Passing burning trees she turned her head to see if the wolf had slowed, even just a little. Seeing how it had not she turned her head quickly back toward the front. Before she could stop herself she fell off the cliff with the wolf right behind her…
