oooooooooo

Chapter 1: Prologue

oooooooooo

Kagome was against a tall tree. Her back ached from the hard bark. About 3 soul stealers tied her against the large plant. She had to admit it; she made a huge mistake.

She had thought she saw InuYasha walk into the forest by Kaede's, but when she walked in far behind him she couldn't see anyone. She thought just walking around wouldn't hurt anyone, so she walked further into the forest hoping to find InuYasha.

"InuYasha!" She had yelled out. She heard a rustle in the bushes and turned around quickly. A squirrel hoped out in front of her, looked up to look at her, and then ran up a tree. She frowned, she was afraid, especially because the sun was setting. "InuYasha…" she had yelled, louder this time. Her heart started to beat faster. Kagome decided to give up, but as she turned around a pale face stared back at her.

Kikyou had stared at her for a while, and then suddenly shoved her against a tree. The young miko lost her breath as the hard bark dug into her back. Kikyou's soul stealers wrapped their selves around Kagome's waist.

"Kagome…right?" Kikyou asked, bringing Kagome back to reality. When Kikyou saw the young teenager nod, she began. "Since you are out here I think I should tell you…stay away from InuYasha,"

'Not this again,' Kagome thought, every time she met with Kikyou, she always said something of this manner. "Listen Kikyou, I do not wish to hurt you-"

Kikyou nodded, "Yes, I'm sure. Even so, I want you to listen…if you don't stay away from InuYasha I will be sure to kill him and you," Kikyou's face scrunched up angrily, and she glared at the girl in front of her. "If you dare tell InuYasha why you are ignoring him, then I will kill your little kit,"

Kagome gasped at the thought of Shippou lying in front of her dead. She couldn't think of it, the thought made her sick. She didn't understand why Kikyou was acting like this, thinking that Kikyou would even say anything like this about InuYasha, was weird, and scary. "Kikyou…"

"No, I've had enough, leave InuYasha alone, my InuYasha doesn't want to come with me just yet, and I'll be damned if he chooses to be with you, so stay away from him!"

Kagome just stared at Kikyou, she couldn't disagree, but how was she going to ignore InuYasha? She was with him all the time! "Kikyou…I can't…"

"You will because remember, you're little Shippou…" Kikyou's soul stealers unwrapped from Kagome and followed Kikyou into the darkness ahead of Kagome.

The young miko was speechless. She though her and Kikyou were ok. Not friends, but certainly not enemies. Kagome wrapped her arms around herself. She felt like she was being watched, and she was probably right. The miko traced her steps back to Kaede's, hoping that she didn't run into the hanyou she was dieing to run into.

oooooooooooooooooooo

As Kikyou walked away from Kagome, she was grabbed violently by the wrist. "You're lucky that you went through with this…" the demon whispered. Kikyou's face twisted in an emotion she never showed…

fear.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
