Chapter 2: Why did you leave me to Die?

Kagome stood, shaking at the shape slowly coming towards her. She held her bow and arrow before her, pointing it at the intruder. And that's when she noticed the dog-ears on top of his head. She dropped her bow and threw her arms around his neck.

"Oh InuYasha! I was so scared!" and then Kagome remembered the reason he had run away and backed away from him. (AN: Kagome thinks he's sad about Kikyo leaving.) InuYasha turned away from her, his head down, and hair covering his eyes.

"Heh. I knew you would think me stupid to feel that way." Kagome gasped. Had he really meant what he had said?

"InuYasha, if what you said to Kikyo was true, then, I am glad." He turned to look at her, his head slightly to the side in a confused puppy dog way.

She giggled and threw her arms around his neck.

"I love you InuYasha." She whispered into one of his white ears, making it twitch.

"Feh. I love you too, wench." She swatted at him, in mock anger and then began to giggle again.

Ugh. He's so happy it makes me sick! The unidentified watcher sat in the bushes, watching the happy couple rolling on the grass laughing and tickling each other. Glaring at them, she stood up and shot an arrow from her bow. The arrow whizzed through the air and hit a tree, mere inches from Kagome's head. She didn't bother to watch the commotion; instead she left, leaving the arrow as a warning of her return. I will get you InuYasha! You will pay for the pain and suffering that you cost me all these years!

"InuYasha, please come down." Kagome sighed. It was no use trying to reason with him. After the nearly fatal arrow incident, InuYasha had spent the entire day searching for the culprit. Who, of course, was nowhere to be found. Kagome got up and brushed the dirt from her green skirt and whispered in Sango's ear:

"Don't let him know I'm gone, I'll be back in a bit." Sango rolled her eyes and looked at him.

"Don't worry, Kagome, I don't think he'll notice." Sango was right, of course, being as InuYasha was busy at the moment, his nose glued to the ground, sniffing. Kagome walked off in the opposite direction; she needed time to think about what had happened only hours before. 'Wow! InuYasha finally confessed his love for me. Of course, it might have been a little bit more enjoyable had no one attempted to kill me.' Kagome rolled her eyes remembering that. She bent down over the stream, and was about to fill her water bottle when she noticed it: The reflection above her own. By the time she turned around to see, the woman had pinned her to a tree, her long white fingers grasped Kagome's throat. Kagome gasped for breath, and was slightly relieved when she was dropped to the ground.

"Hey! Who are you!" The woman turned around. She had long black hair and deep violet eyes. She wore what would have been a red mini dress had it not been for the extreme skimpy-ness of it. Bound to each ankle were two ruby studded daggers, and attached to her neck by black string was a clear crystal, that appeared to change color every time she moved. For some reason, that Kagome couldn't quite place, her face reminded her of someone, as well as her ears, which were long and pointed rather than round. In Kagome's opinion she was absolutely gorgeous. (A/N not in a gross way either people!) The woman glared at her.

"It's none of your concern." Once again she turned her back on Kagome and continued to scan the horizon. Kagome figured that this was her chance, and proceeded to escape. Kagome smiled inwardly, thinking she had gotten away, but to her dismay, was yanked back by the hair and thrown in front of the tree again.

"Ow! Hey, what was that for?" The woman in red turned and glared at Kagome.

"You're not going anywhere. You're my bait." Kagome boiled with anger.

"Your bait! For what?"

"To get InuYasha here, stupid. Today is the day that I get my revenge." Kagome sighed. Not again.

"InuYasha, I'm sure that he or she will show up sooner or later. We will get him then." Sango was beginning to worry about Kagome. InuYasha was so wrapped up in his nose, that he hadn't noticed her gone. Suddenly, InuYasha's head shot up.

"I smell a demon. And Kagome." They began running to towards the smell, all worried for their friend; except for InuYasha who was, as well as worried, pissed off at his so called 'friends' who had neglected to tell him she was gone. They continued to run until they came to a clearing. There they found Kagome, sitting below a tree; above her was a woman. She jumped down in front of them as they made their way to Kagome.InuYasha and Sango prepared for battle, Miroku on the other hand, couldn't peel his eyes away from her. InuYasha glared at her.

"What do you want?" The woman looked surprised, and then sad.

"I want to take my revenge on you. But first, I want you to answer a question." He glared at her, but listened; he would do anything to get Kagome back.

With tears in her eyes, she notched a bow and aimed at the ground. Then, she looked at him through her bangs.

"Why? Why did you leave me to die?"
