Saving Kagome
"Oh , Inuyasha , I forgot my scarf in the woods where I was sitting ." Kagome said in a sweet
little 'oh how silly of me' type of voice , remembering she had taken it off after sitting down .
"Oh, well let me run back and get it for you" Inuyasha said turning , preparing to run back and
grab the scarf for Kagome . "But you don't have to Inuyasha , really , it's okay ." Kagome said
sweetly , trying not to make him do something he didn't have to do . " It will only take me a
minute , it's no trouble at all . Just keep walking , camp is straight ahead , Kagome , I'll be back
in a minute ... promise." Inuyasha said and took off running and then leaped into a tree .
Kagome felt a little nervous walking back alone , though camp wasn't far and neither was
Inuyasha , but since she dashed of so fast that she forgot her sacred arrows , she didn't feel
secure. 'Camp is just over there .' she thought to herself and began walking again . Then she
heard something behind her , and , thinking it was Inuyasha , she turned around . Her bright eyes
widened and she gasp as she saw who really was behind her . Inuyasha's brother , Sesshomaru.
Inuyasha had just picked up Kagome's scarf when he also picked up the scent of a demon .
"Kagome..." Inuyasha said twitching his ears , and running as fast as he could to where he left
Kagome , tucking her scarf safely away in his shirt . The smell of a demon got stronger the closer
he got to where Kagome once stood . He stopped suddenly , at the spot he left Kagome , the
demon's scent was gone , the only scent left was the trees and human blood.
Inuyasha sped to the campsite , wasting no time , time was precious like Kagome . "Inuyasha ,
what's wrong? Where's Kagome?" Sango said running up to him . "She , she's been taken by a
demon , and she is injured , there is a strong smell of human blood." Inuyasha said and Sango
called Kilala and called for Miroku and Shippo , who instantly came running . Everyone set off
into the woods were Kagome was last seen .
Inuyasha led them to the spot where the scent ended and Kagome's blood was easily picked
up. Inuyasha jumped around in the trees , Shippo and Kilala carefully searched the ground for
any uneasily sensed smells or clues . "Inuyasha , I found something!" Shippo yelled and held up a
small piece of cloth in his hand . "What do you have there Shippo?" Inuyasha said jumping down
from a tree running to Shippo then kneeling down beside him . " I found a piece of torn cloth ,
Kagome's scent is on it a little ..." Shippo said holding it up to his nose . "..but it smells mostly
demon ." "Good work Shippo." inuyasha said taking the cloth and patting Shippo's head then
standing up. "It looks like Sesshoumaru's ..." Inuyasha said lifting it to his nose . "...it is ..." he
said and picked up his brother's scent and took off running faster than he ever had before toward
the deepest part of the forest . Inuyasha sped toward the scent , he knew why his brother had
taken Kagome , Sesshoumaru heard what he had said to Kagome .
Deeper into the woods , Sesshoumaru had tied two ropes to Kagome's arms and stretched her
arms out as far as they would go and then tied the other end to two trees opposite of each other .
He had also tied her feet together and then tied the other end around a steak and drove it into the
ground , so Kagome couldn't move and appeared to be standing with her arms stretched out to
her sides . Kagome slowly opened her eyes , awaking from her unconscious state. "Where ...where
am I ? Inu..Inu ..yasha , where are you?" she said groaning from pain . She remembered what
happened , she turned and saw Inuyasha behind her and she wanted to scream but he said
something to her... "I am truly sorry Kagome , but I must slay my brother and take his
Tetsusaiga , and I am prepared to harm anyone I must to do so ..." he said and raised his sword
and hit Kagome in the head with the handle , leaving a bruise and even a cut. "I see you're
awake, Kagome . As I said before , I truly am sorry for what I am about to do but my brother will
come looking for you , ready and willing to kill , just as I wish him to . This is the only way..."
Sesshoumaru said pressing his Tolkijin against her lower back . Kagome began to whimper
softly and a tear ran down her sore face , not from the fact that she was about to die but from the
knowledge of her Inuyasha , her love , would be slaughtered if he tried to kill Sesshoumaru in
revenge . "...I truly am sorry for this Kagome.." Sesshoumaru said and Kagome braced her body
for impact , she didn't want to scream . Sesshoumaru gripped the sword tightly and pushed the
sword through Kagome's weak body . "Inu...yasha!" Kagome screamed out from the pain .
