She sat up on her room and leaned against her desk, her chin resting on her hand. Kouga had walked her home that day after the little incident at the mall, worried for her safety. Time seemed to go by so quickly now, with all the events of the past week a mere blur. It seemed like just yesterday she was hopping through that well with her giant yellow backpack, ready for the final battle with Naraku.
Dark eyes stared out the window into the calm night, giving away that she was deep in thought. Inuyasha...What happened? Why can't anyone remember me? Oh Kami...This is all my fault. If I hadn't left the Feudal Era, if I hadn't said those things to Inuyasha... She brought a hand to her face as she started to cry softly, feeling horrid regret for the past events. Inuyasha was in his full demon form...and he wanted to kill her. What was she going to do? "Oh Kami-sama...how did everything go so wrong?" She said to herself, he face in her hands as she massaged her temples.
She had to come up with a plan...Some way to change him back, to get everything back the way it was. Suddenly, it hit her. "The jewel!" She exclaimed at her realization. She had heard back in the Feudal Era that the Jewel would only disappear if a pure, unselfish wish was made on it. If the wish is impure and only for one's own gain, the jewel would become tainted and will not disappear. Inuyasha's wish was entirely for himself, which meant the jewel was still out there!
"That's it! I just have to find the jewel...then make the wish!" She said, her mood suddenly lifted. But there was her problem. Finding it. She couldn't sense the jewel at all! She groaned and let her head fall onto her desk in defeat. "Why me?"
That was when she heard the sound outside and gasped. She remained silent for a moment, listening to made sure she heard correctly. Sure enough, there is was again. "It can't be..." She said. She sat there for a minute, trying to decide on a plan of action. With a hesitant sigh, she grabbed her coat and flashlight as she quietly ran down the steps and left the house. He common sense screamed at her to go back inside, but she knew she couldn't. Inuyasha would just break in and not only kill her, but her family. Maybe if she just went out, she could occupy Inuyasha and keep her family safe.
She stood on the steps in front of the door, shining he flashlight into the dark courtyard. Trees, trees, a rat, and more trees. She sighed, rubbing her forehead. "Kagome, keep it together girl! You're hearing things!" She scolded herself quietly, and was ready to turn and reenter the house.
Then she saw them...a pair of red eyes staring at her with bloodlust in their blue irises. She stood there, unmoving as he appeared in front of her, claws poised. Suddenly Kagome began to shake in realization of what she was doing. Wait! I don't want to die! I can't just sacrifice myself! No, no! She thought frantically. He legs trembled and gave out as she fell back on her butt, trying to scoot away from Inuyasha.
"I've got you now bitch..." Inuyasha said, malice dripping off of his words. He stepped forward and chuckled at her fear, cracking his knuckles. "Die!" He yelled as he leaned forward and sent a slash flying at her, his mouth curling into an already satisfied smile.
Kagome, regaining herself in the face of imminent danger, managed to shine the flashlight in his face which caused his attack to misdirect slightly and gave her the chance to roll to the side and avoid it completely. She leapt to her feet and started to run, heading for the entrance of the shrine.
He, however, was hot on her tail. He sent another slash at her feet, which tore up the ground and caused her to fall forward onto her face. The flashlight flew from her hands and rolled cross the ground, out of reach. Inuyasha leapt over her and landed in front of her, snarling at her attempts to escape.
Kagome laid there, preparing for the worst, as she stared at the flashlight. The little orb of light at the end of the object reminded her a lot of the Shikon Jewel. This is just like when we first met...though this time he's really going to kill me... She thought in defeat. That's when the realized the significance of that thought, gasping slightly. Just like when he first met... She repeated in her mind. That's it! She closed her eyes tight and prayed to Kami as she yelled, "Inuyasha! SIT!"
A/N: Woah, man. Sorry about my little hiatus there ; Uhh, got bored today, and then I remembered my fic. So I decided to work on it...pardon the extremely crappy chapter. I would make it longer, but I just couldn't think of much. And just a little note, 'Kami' is just the japanese word for God. Just thought I'd clear that up.
