Kagome glanced up at the sound of footsteps, smiling as Inuyasha came in to view. "Did you catch anything?" She asked, tilting her head to the side as she stared at the white-haired hanyou. She had run out of pre-packaged foodstuff from her own time a couple of days ago, and they had been reduced to eating whatever Inuyasha, and some times Mirouku and Sango, could catch.
As Inuyasha simply continued to stand there, however, Kagome sighed softly, glancing back down at the berries she had been able to gather from the nearby woods. "Well, I guess we'll just have to eat this, then." She was unprepared, however, for the hanyou to suddenly appear behind her, hand gripping the back of her neck painfully.
"Inuyasha!" She gasped out, quite ready to sit him, when Inuyasha effortlessly picked her up, still holding tightly to the back of her neck, and easily flung her across the clearing, a cold smile crossing over his features.
Sango was instantly on her feet, weapon drawn to give the hanyou a solid bonk on the head, glaring heatedly at her half-demon friend. "What is wrong with you, you stipid mutt?"
Instead of growing angered by Sango's usage of the word mutt, however, as she had expected, Inuyasha merely turned his attention to the demon slayer, grinning ferally before reaching down, plucking the small form of Kirara off the ground where she had ventured near his feet. The small animal gave a small yelp of surprise, before he forcefully flung her at her owner, rushing at the demon slayer mere seconds later.
A deep slash across her stomach incapacitated Sango easily, and Inuyasha once again turned his attention toward Kagome, who was only now climbing to her feet, wincing slightly in pain as she did so. At the sight of Inuyasha, standing over Sango's bleeding body, however, all pain was forgotten as she let out a loud, "Sit Boy!"
Inuyasha merely grinned, and for the first time, Kagome became aware of the absense of his necklace, making his neck look strange and empty.
The last time she had seen him without his necklace, he'd been trying to kill her then, as well. At least he was consistant.
Blinking back the tears that sung her eyes, Kagome slowly backed up a step, watching as Inuyasha matched her every movement. Before she could manage to turn around and run, however, or even begin to entertain the thought of it, he was upon her, claws sinking deep into her arms as he grinned down at her shocked face.
He really meant to kill her, didn't he?
Kagome screamed.
