A/N- Wow, thank you all for the great reviews! Haha, I have even made a person cry on my first chapter! Ah…im just that good aren't I? Just kidding… well, here's your requested second chapter.
Last time on Cant run forever:
Hot rivers of tears streamed down her face out of sorrow, her shoulders shaking with each rack of her sobs.
The only thing on her mind was the name of the man who had just torn her heart in half.
Chapter two- new addiction
Kagome ran. She ran as fast and didn't stop. Since she had taken off her shoes, her socks were slowly tearing apart from the sticks and leaves on the dirt floor. Bushes and low tree branches attacked her, cutting her arms and legs. But she didn't care…all she knew was that she needed to run. Far away.
She couldn't even tell how long she had been running, but she soon collapsed on the cold, hard ground still sobbing. Her eyes were red, and barely produced tears now. She didn't have any more tears to spill…
Nose pink and puffy, she lazily wiped her eyes with the back of her hands then wiping her hands on her plaid green skirt she had taken from home. That's it. She'll just go home and rest for a bit…so she can…calm down. Kagome tried getting up, but a certain ache in her calves didn't quite let her. She looked down, only to gasp to see that her legs were covered in crimson red blood. "Oh shit….damnit!" She clamped a hand over her mouth. Since when did she use curse words? 'urgh, never mind that…I'm gonna soak my clothes if I let my leg bleed any more!"
But the problem was that she didn't have any extra cloth to help clean herself up. And if she called for Inuyasha, he would try to ask a whole bunch of questions, and she didn't need any of that. Not after what happened. Deciding to just sit there and try to apply pressure to her leg to make it stop bleeding, she found that her vision became…sort of…un-clear…
"Urgh…" Kagome murmured as she fell limp onto the forest floor.
/Inuyasha/
"Kagome!" Inuyasha called after her. He had tried to run after her, but for some reason…she had gotten incredibly fast…
'Shit Kagome…where are you?' Her scent was all over the place. It was in the direction of the camp, but he was pretty sure that she didn't go there. When she had ran, she must've not been looking or she could have been running in circles. But either way, he couldn't figure out exactly which direction she was in right at this moment.
/Miroku and Sango/
"Hey houshi, we're running out of firewood, could you please retrieve some more?" Sango gritted through her clenched teeth. 'Gr…Damnit, its almost impossible to act kind to that lech…how could Kagome even ask me to be nicer to the creep?'
"Why certainly my lovely Sango…" Miroku whispered seductively while inching his "cursed" hand towards her backside. 'Heh heh heh' "AH! Freakin hentai!" Sango screamed as she whirled around and elbowed him in the nuts. "Ooooh…ugh…" Miroku stammered as he doubled over whining. "I-…I guess I should go get the firewood…" Miroku said in a falsetto tone.
'Now that's more like it…' Sango though with a smile on her face.
/With Miroku outside/
Miroku steadily bent over and picked up some logs of wood while his sandals crunched helpless twigs beneath him. "Ouch!" Miroku said while glaring at the new splinter that had newly formed on his finger. He sighed and moved on, looking for more wood. What he saw in the clearing made his heart stop when he found his dear friend bleeding on the floor with cuts and bruises all over her helpless body.
/Inuyasha/
'DAMNIT! Where the FUCK are you Kagome?' Inuyasha snapped his head around to the point where it almost broke his neck. But he had found Miroku's scent…maybe he had found Kagome. Yes! It had Kagome's scent mixed in that direction as well.
Inuyasha broke into a speed unknown to him. But all he needed was to get there fast. Shit. Blood…and a lot of it too.
When he finally made it to where Miroku was kneeling, his breath caught in his throat. Kagome was there…bleeding. Gashes were all over her arms and some on her chest. It was much worse than he had thought. He mentally was stabbing him self because he knew that it was his damn fault.
"Get the fuck away from her Miroku." Inuyasha said. He tried to keep his temper in check. Kagome was in grave danger and this fucking houshi was touching her. "Inuyasha please calm down, I am merely checking to see just how severe her wounds are. But in the mean time, why don't you tell me if you had anything to do with this? Hm?" Miroku stopped checking Kagome for a mili-second, giving Inuyasha an accusing glare.
"What the hell? I had nothing to do with those cuts! She wasn't even with me!" Inuyasha yelled. "Then why was she running? It looks like she was trying to get away from someone." "I don't know! Maybe a demon attacked her!"
"Hai. Maybe. But wouldn't we have sensed a demon presence in our area? Wouldn't you have smelled it? Or were you busy with something else?" Miroku said, trying to get the answer out of the stubborn ass hanyou.
Inuyasha took a step back…he was. He was busy doing something else…and that had caused Kagome to run. It really was his fault. He had run to Kikyo. He had kissed her. Kagome saw. And she ran…
The sting of tears was nagging at him in the back of his eyes. But it wasn't as if he'd let them fall. He looked again to where Kagome lay. Half of her body was drenched in blood. Miroku had gone back to tending to her wounds. "This is pretty serious. I suggest that we go back to Kaede and let her deal with this. She could possibly die."
