Hey! Sup? I donÕt have much to say... Eri-Chan wrote the last chapter, I wrote this one...

Disclaimer: I want Inuyasha...I donÕt own him, but I want too.

Chapter 3

ÒSesshomaru-sama?Ó Kagome looked around, they had been walking this trail for so long. Where were they? ÒSesshomaru-saÐÓ

ÒKagome. You arenÕt a vassal, you arenÕt a ward, you arenÕt exactly an ally. Why do you show so much respect? You donÕt have to.Ó

Kagome was shocked. Was Sesshomaru, Lord of the Western Lands, telling her to stop with the formalities? ÒIÐuh...Ó

ÒWhy did you stay at the castle? You were not being kept there.Ó

Again Kagome couldnÕt find the correct words to say...

Inuyasha climbed, he was on the verge of death, but he couldnÕt stop now. He had to find that bastard. If he couldnÕt return Ð ÔNo! you are going to return, you are going to return to Kagome. You are going to tell her how you feel about her!Õ He pushed himself through the dense brush, a weaker youkai tried to stop him from going further, Inuyasha chuckled. Too many, too damn many had tried to stop him from pressing on. Little did these youkai know, he had made a vow.

He sliced through the weak with his claws, thatÕs all he had left. The Tetsusaiga had been taken from him. Damn that asshole! That bastard took it during their last encounter, somewhere in China? Russia? Hell, to him, they all spoke the same language, but it wasnÕt the one he knew.

Another small weakling dispatched. This was getting annoying, suprisingly none of these youkai were a threat, therefore, Inuyasha did not have to unwillingly transform.

He had learned to control his anger with the humans of this land, the oneÕs who did speak japanese to him, never talked about hanyouÕs or dog ears... dog ears... a memory flashed in his mind. One of Kagome, softly rubbing his ears. He hadnÕt felt that in a long time. He... missed it... He missed her...

ÔI wonder if heÕs not coming back.Õ Kagome walked behind Sesshomaru, Her red blossom kimono with golden trim flowed in the wind, ever since Inuyasha left, the well had stopped working...

Five years earlier...

Kagome ran, she wouldnÕt stop, not until she got there. There! There it was! She could still make it. Stay there until Inuyasha came back to get her. She got to the lip of the well, and jumped...

ÒUF!Ó was the sound you heard when she hit the bottom. ÔNo! No way!Õ She couldnÕt get through! What was wrong with it?

It was safe on the other side! She wouldnÕt feel so alone, unwanted! She climbed thevines out of the broken old well. Once out, she sat on the lip, a figure moved in the bushes. Yup, she wouldÕve been safer in her time. Another figure a couple meters away from the first, then more. She was surrounded by bandits!

ÒWell, well, look here men! WeÕve got ourselves a stray!Ó The leader said.

ÒLook at the way she dresses! Awfully short kimono!Ó another said. The men chuckled.

ÔUh oh! What do I do now? Inuyasha!Õ Kagome stood up and got ready to run.

One man grabbed her arms and held them behind her back. Kagome screamed, praying to kami that someone would hear her. She tried to fight out of his grasp. Begged them to stop. They wouldnÕt listen!

She was thrown to the ground. ÒWhy are you doing this?Ó She screamed at them.

ÒI donÕt know, hime. Maybe itÕs kamiÕs will.Ó one man laughed in reply.

She saw what possibly could have been her life flashing before her eyes. They were going to raped her, probably kill her. Maybe, just maybe, if the others hadnÕt left, she wouldnÕt have been in this mess...

And yet, she was still here.

But why? Why did they leave, why did he leave? They had left her alone, to fend for herself. She had come to this realization that day, the day she had lost it all. Inuyasha had left, Sango, Miroku, Kirara.

Suddenly, Sesshomaru stopped in his tracks. Kagome looked up. ÒNan desu ka? Sesshomaru?Ó

There was a soft, sweet chuckle. Coming not from Sesshomaru. Kagome looked around wondering what was going to happen. A girl appeared from the trees behind them. But this, of course, was no ordinary girl, no, Kagome sensed it right away. This was a youkai. Her youki was strong. She wore a beautiful blue kimono, with a shimmering red sash. A sword at her side. Demon sword, no doubt. Wavy long dirtyblonde hair that hung over her shoulders, and pure silver eyes. She smiled a venomous smile. Her lips blood red against her pale skin.

She looked towards Kagome. ÒYou, you are the miko that travels with that wretched hanyou. WhatÕs your name? Kagome? You are the one who collects the jewels shards.Ó

Kagome frowned. This girl knew an awful lot about her. ÒWhat do you want?Ó

ÒSo you are Kagome! What do I want? What I want is very simple, mortal. I want...

...Your demise.Ó
