On my own

Prologue

Disclaimer: I don't own anything. Except my manga's.

Kagome grabbed her backpack and ran. She blinked back tears, wanting to be brave.

Flashback

Kagome hid behind a tree while Inuyasha and Kikyou talked.

"Are you wiling to go to hell with me, Inuyasha?" Kikyou asked.

"Yeah, I am. I owe you my life, and...I love you." Kagome gasped as Inuyasha and Kikyou shared a kiss. 'I thought he cared about me...' thought Kagome sadly. A chocked sob escaped her, giving away her presence.

"Kagome, I-"but he didn't finish as Kagome ran off, leaving Inuyasha standing there with Kikyou.

End flashback

Kagome slowed to a walk, becoming tired. She looked around her. 'Oh, great. Now I'm lost. Right into the middle of a forest. My day can't get any more worse than this...can it?'

Kagome was just going to set up camp when she heard a rustling of bushes behind her.

"Who-who's there?" she asked fearfully.

A little girl came out of the bushes, who Kagome recognized as Rin.

"Kagome-oneesan!" she cried, running to hug Kagome.

"Rin-chan! What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be with Sesshoumaru?" she questioned.

Rin's eyes filled with tears as she said, "Rin got lost. Rin stopped to pick some flowers, and when Rin got up, Sesshoumaru-sama and Jaken-sama were gone!"

"There,there, they can't be too far away," Said Kagome soothingly while she patted Rin's back, "I'll help you look for them."

Rin and Kagome had been traveling for an hour. 'Ok, so I was wrong when I said they couldn't be too far away. But I'm sure Sesshoumaru or Jaken'll detect Rin's scent.'

Sure enough, they soon bumped into Jaken. "Jaken-sama!" cried Rin happily.

Jaken glared at the pair of them. "Where have you been, you wretched girl? Sesshoumaru-sama isn't pleased that you went off on your own. No doubt playing with this woman and picking flowers..." He snapped.

"She got lost, ok?" said Kagome, glaring right back at him. Jaken turned to Kagome. "Wench! Do not tell this Jaken what to do! You don't have the authori-."

"Jaken. Enough." Came a voice from behind them. Kagome and Rin looked up.

"Sesshoumaru-sama!" Rin got up, ran over to Sesshoumaru, and hugged him. To Kagome's surprise, he patted her on the head in return.

"Rin, why did you leave us?" He questioned.

"Rin got lost! Then Kagome-oneesan found Rin and led her back to Sesshoumaru-sama!" she smiled.

Sesshoumaru turned his attention onto Kagome. "Girl, why are you without my brother?" he demanded.

His question was short and simple, but to Kagome, it felt like Sesshoumaru had just stabbed her in the chest.

'Why did he have to bring Inuyasha up? I was so close to getting over him...' she thought dejectedly. Tears filled her eyes, but this time she didn't bother to blink them back.

"I tire of waiting, girl." Kagome glared at Sesshoumaru. 'How can you be so oblivious towards my feelings? Well, then again, you are Sesshoumaru.'

"I-I just felt like traveling on my own." She stammered. Sesshoumaru raised an eyebrow, but didn't question any further.

He turned to leave but then Rin called out, "Sesshoumaru-sama, could Kagome-oneesan travel with us?"

Jaken whipped around. "Of course not! How can you even think of-"

"Jaken." Jaken looked up at Sesshoumaru, terrified. "This Sesshoumaru will make the decisions."

"Y-yes, Sesshoumaru-sama. Please forgive this lowly Jaken!" Jaken stammered, obviously apologetic. 'Why does he put up with that wretched girl? She's more annoying than bell chimes. Except not as important, of course!' While Jaken was dealing with his...own thoughts, Rin was begging Sesshoumaru to let Kagome travel with them. "Please, please, Sesshoumaru-sama? Rin really wants Kagome-oneesan to come along! She's so nice!" Despite Rin's efforts...well, it wasn't going too well. Not very well at all.

"She cannot come with us, Rin."

"But Sesshoumaru-sa-

"No."

Rin's eyes began to fill with tears. Kagome sighed, and bent down to comfort Rin. But before she could do anything, though, Sesshoumaru spoke up.

"I have decided to let this woman come with us. I will require her for certain things." Jaken began protesting in the backround. Kagome smirked. "Yokatta,ne, Rin-chan!" she exclaimed. She shook her head.

'Even Sesshoumaru couldn't resist Rin's tea- Oh my god! The way he just said the last part was wrong! WRONG!' She blushed.

While Kagome was trying very hard to collect herself, Rin was doing her little happy dance around all three of them. "We are leaving." Sesshoumaru stated. He started walking away. Rin grabbed Kagome's hand.

"Let's go, Kagome-oneesan!" she said excitedly. Kagome nodded subconsciously, her mind still of what Sesshoumaru said.

Jaken cursed under his breath. 'Damn humans!'

Ok, I hope that was long enough for a prologue!
