DemonGirl-Setsuna: Hi there! Setsuna here!
Since the chapters I wrote are so short, I can post two chapters a day (not counting the weekend, no classes on those two days).
Here is Chapter 4!
Please Enjoy!

Ch. 4
---------------------------
The years past, until Kagome grew into a beautiful 15 year old woman. She was at a Royal Target Practice session with her grandfather. Kagome was hitting the targets like a madman (or woman).
"Oh, Kagome", Reiko says with an exasperated sigh, "We've looked everywhere. You know InuYasha's not coming back. The whole kingdom knows that".
"The whole kingdom is wrong", Kagome shot back. She spun on her heels and walked off the field, "How could mother expect me to marry someone else, when I still love Prince InuYasha".
(A/N: Distance makes the heart grow fonder!)
"You still have strong feelings for my missing master, Kagome", Sakura says, putting her arm around her friend's shoulder. But Kagome stares out at the edge of the forest, "What is it, Kagome?"
"It's that white dog again", she replies, "That dog has been following and watching me for five years".
Sakura looks and sees the majestic white dog Kagome spoke of standing at the edge of the forest watching Kagome's every movement.
"It could be a spy of Kikyo's", Sakura whispers, "Shall I trail it for you?"
"Don't you have your own royalty to serve, Sakura", Reiko rudely says.
"No way, I'm serving that tyrant!", she exclaims, "He has run the kingdom into the ground".
"Isn't he King InuTaisho's nephew; Prince Sesshomaru", Kagome comments.
"He may be a member of the family, but my loyalty only goes to three people; King InuTaisho, Queen Izayoi, and Prince InuYasha, no one else except Princess Kagome", Sakura retorts.
"Then you have my permission to trail the dog", Kagome says, watching the dog turn around and head back into the forest.
"As you wish, Kagome", she says, then starts following the white dog with her bow in hand and sword at her hip.
After trailing the white dog for several miles, Sakura found herself stepping out of the forest, onto the shore of a lake. With her bow still in her hand, she looks around in wonder, taking in the water, the ravaged castle…
The dog just stood on the edge of the lake as moonlight washed over the trees, slowly making its way to the lake.
'Why did this dog lead me to a lake?', she thinks.
The white dog was now bathed in moonlight, making it appear to be glowing, then Sakura was blinded by a bright white light. When the light faded away, a person who looked half-human and half-dog was standing where the dog had stood.
His clothes were tattered and torn, his hair was silvery-white and trailed past his butt, and his gold eyes and sharp claws gleamed in the moonlight.
Sakura draws her bow and shouts, "Are you a lackey of Kikyo's!"
The two white dog ears on top of his head droops and a look of great sadness appears on his face. "I won't fight you. Kill me, I don't want to be her prisoner anymore", he says in a low but clear voice, he looks off to the side.
