Wow, after the whole prolouge, this looks a fair length. Please review, any ideas for the story are appreciated.
CHAPTER: 1
Kagome walked in silence. She could not, and would not look Inuyasha in the face. Miroku, Sango, and Shippou didn't dare look at her, for fear that she might be crying. Inuyasha had chosen the woman he wanted. And that woman was Kikyo. Kagome slowly raised her eyes to look and the couple walking in front of her. Inuyasha had his arm wrapped around Kikyo's waist, and she leaned her head on his shoulder. Tears began to form in her eyes, and she looked back down at the ground.
After a long day of traveling, the group stopped and set up camp for the night. Kagome set her sleeping bag far away from Inuyasha, who was perched in a tree. He could feel her sad aura, but it was Kikyo he loved. He loved Kagome, but only as a sister. His golden eyes followed her every move. He noticed she no longer had that perkiness she always possessed with her that night. Kagome wasn't laughing, and making jokes. She only did what she needed to do, then sat off away from the group under a big tree.
Slowly, Kagome rose to her feet. She gathered her famous giant yellow backpack. "I'll be at the hot springs. I saw some not far from here…" She said sadly.
"Do you want me to come with you, Kagome?" Sango asked. She knew Kagome was saddened over these past events. Maybe talking with Kagome would lighten things up. Before Miroku could ask if he could come with Kagome, Sango hit him over the head with her giant boomerang. "Leterous Monk…" Sango muttered under breath.
"No, no thank you, Sango. I'll…I'll be fine…" With that, Kagome walked away into the forest. But Kagome did not plan to return at all. When she was almost halfway to the hot springs, Kagome turned and was intending to go back to the Bone Eaters well. The only problem was that she did not know which way to the Bone Eaters well was.
So, she resolved to walking until she came to a village to ask for directions. Kagome wandered in the deep forest for what seemed for hours. Soon, she found herself going in complete circles. "Great! Just great! Go and get yourself lost in the damn forest, Kagome!" Kagome thought to herself. "Why I am I always getting myself into these messes?"
Non the less, Kagome kept on walking. After about another half-hour, Kagome found a small dirt path winding itself through the forest. "Maybe this'll lead me to a village!" Kagome happily walked down the dirt path with the thought she would soon find a safe, warm village to stay at for the night, and continue with her journey to the Bone Eaters well in the morning.
A little ways down the path, Kagome thought she heard someone's voice. It sounded as though it were coming from far off the little path. Alas! Kagome's weakness with always be her stubborn curiosity! After very little debating that she could be killed by whoever this was, Kagome separated from the tiny, beaten, dirt path and went in the direction of the creature's voice.
Soon, Kagome found herself witnessing a brutal beating of a young man about eight or nine years of age. With every blow from the demon standing above him, the young lad shuddered and coughed up a little more blood than before. Kagome watched in utter horror as the demon ripped the lad's shirt off and began using a whip on his tan skin. Fresh, red blood began pouring almost immediately. The young boy had given up all aspects of escaping, and just laid there, in his own pool of blood. Tears were now running fully down Kagome's face. "I can't take this anymore! I have to help him!"
Reaching behind her, Kagome retrieved her bow, and drew a single, handmade arrow from her beautifully crafted quiver. She quickly loaded it, and drew the thin string towards her ear. Steadying her aim, Kagome made sure she had the utmost accuracy. "This might be the only shot I have." Kagome realized. She released the stretched string. A loud pop! came from the string hitting the wood of the bow, and an even louder gush-like sound coming from when the arrow tip skimming the top of the demon's arm. "Oh no! I missed!"
The demon quickly turned around to see whom his attacker was. He let out a snort and began to walk in Kagome's direction. Hearing the boy cough up more blood, the demon turned and stabbed the boy with a spear by his side. Kagome did her best not to gasp as the boy let out a hoarse yell and took his last breath with a terrible shudder. His eyes became very glassy and Kagome new he was no more. But she did let out a gasp. A very loud one at that.
Hearing her gasp, the demon turned back towards Kagome. Kagome gasped once more when she realized she had been caught. Kagome did not have time to retrieve another arrow from her quiver, for the demon had her securely in his hairy arms. The demon laughed as he threw Kagome to the ground. He then began to try and rip Kagome's clothing off. Kagome began to struggle to get away. Luckily, she was able to get to her feet and run. But the demon was able to rip half of her white school shirt away from her petite body, as well as half of her bra.
Kagome grabbed her giant yellow backpack and ran as fast as she could from the demon. The demon gave chase to her. Kagome was amazed that he could run as fast as he could even if he was a demon, because of his sheer bulkiness. It did not take the demon long to catch up with Kagome. His claws left fairly deep marks on her bare arm when Kagome jerked away and kept running. "SOMEONE! HELP ME!" She screamed, with tears running down her face.
A loud thump! was heard when Kagome hit the forest floor. She had literally run into someone. Terrified, Kagome looked up at non-other than the unemotional face of Sesshomaru. "Please Sesshomaru! Help me! I'll do anything you want me to! Just please, help me!" Kagome looked behind her to see the demon almost at her. Kagome quickly got to her feet and jumped behind Sesshomaru. The demon stopped angrily in front of Sesshomaru, "Get out of the way! That girl is mine!"
Sesshomaru drew his sword, "You will do well to leave my lands." He said in an almost bored tone of voice.
"Your lands? Who the hell are you to own all of this land?" The demon asked. "I ain't leavin' till I get that wench!"
"I am Lord Sesshomaru of the Western Lands. And you dare trespass on my grounds. For that, you shall die." With that, Sesshomaru quickly killed the demon. He sheathed his sword, and faced Kagome. Kagome, now noticing her chest was half exposed to the demon lord, let out an "eep!" and retrieved a jacket from within her backpack. She zipped the jacket up. "What business do you have here?"
"Hello!" Kagome yelled, "That demon was trying to rape me so I ran!"
"You will come to with me to my castle," Sesshomaru said unemotionally.
"WHAT!" Kagome yelled.
"If I recall correctly, you did say you would do anything for my help." He paused, "You will remain at my castle for as long as I see fit." He finished un-emtionlessly.
"Damn it!" She thought, "At least I'll have somewhere to stay. As if I could ever go back to my time anyway…mother is expecting this. I'm not going to be a coward and run home everytime something like this happens. I will play along, for the time being at least."
A slight spark of confusion played in her eyes as her jeweled necklace began to give an eeriepink glow, with a slight tint of yellow…"What the?"
