Bonjour! How are you today my friends? Well, I've been "busy" I think this is the fastest I've ever written…typed a fanfic. So…well I…uh…something. I lost my train of thought. Oh, duh! I'm working on another fanfic Sesskag of course, and it's called Prince of Fate, that's all I'm saying. I'm almost done with the first part, but at certain times, you're going to hate me. But I have legimate reasons for never finishing fanfics. I had ADD. Addiction to Different Deserts, and also ALF, Addiction to Lemons and fanfics. So…I'm miss Miko Temptest. IF I get enough people to ask for it, then I'll edit chapters and re-post it.
Hey, also I realize I made a mistake, it's suppose to be she's been gone for five years instead. Gomen!
--ME!

Chapter Three:
Deception and Lies

I came with tears in my eyes,
Wanting you to wipe and erase them,
The ones that I cry…

'Great!' Kagome thought as she tripped over the third root that night. 'I'm cold…I'm hungry and I can't find the village. Surely I would have reached it by now!' She continued on, she rubbed her arms through the bronze colored silk robe. There was a different aura in the air, it was scary…she had no weapon, she was practically nude, and she no longer had miko powers.

What was going on?

She hiked over the hill, stilling shivering and silently cursing the wind and all things cold. She was freezing, barefooted, nude whatever. She wanted a fire, but there was no fire tonight because in the fall the trees and sticks were forever damp. Unless she could find a nice demon that'd let her curl up in his stomach…she had a feeling she was going to freeze.

Ahead from the rain that had taken place only moments before created a think fog. She looked up the hill and sighed.

As she got to the top of the hill she almost screamed, or according to nature, she did. It echoed through the night and over the place she used to know as Kaede's village. It was burned down to the ground, as if a war, or a demon had come through, destroying everything that moved, or breathed, content with the scene and smell of death.

Who would do this? If she remembered clearly, this looked like Sesshoumaru's work, but his would be more accurate…more calculating, but this would be more violent outburst type. It was more of…Inuyasha? She felt his aura near by, she couldn't tell whether he was alone, but she knew that it was her fault. If she'd never left, if she stayed, the villagers would still be alive.

She ran down from the corpse littered hill, careful to avoid the pools of blood pooling beneath them. She avoided the demon birds cawing in delight at their buffet of young and old alike. But there in the ruins of the battlefield, she saw the figures, the ones who survived, and by their stance, they were repulsed. Maybe…if she didn't have miko powers…she could use the knowledge she knew from her nursing training.

" Excuse me!" She called out. She continued to clutch the clasp on her neck, and then used the other to wave. " Excuse me! Did you see the attack on this village? I mean was it a war or a demon?"

" Kagome…?" She heard the voice of Inuyasha. So he was alive after all. " Kagome is that you?"

She was quiet as if thinking of her answer. Should she lie and then run, or just stay and take the consequences to her actions. She decided to stay, knowing that if she didn't she was able to walk away after seeing the dead. Maybe she'd…help him bury the dead?
" What's that, Inuyasha? Are you still talking about that dead wench? She is long gone, left you to the despair of your heart. She left you to mourn over her and then never return. She broke her promise, why should you continued to chase the dead?"

" Hmmm, you had no complaints when I ran to your aid Kikyo. Besides she's right here, I can sense…smell her here." He answered. Through the fog, he stepped to Kagome. His eyes widen when he saw the haunted, distant look in her eyes, and her skin paler that when he remembered. She was clutching a skimpy robe that clung tightly to her curves. Still the same as he remembered, just the same not caring what you think Kagome that he feel in love with.

" I see you can see me Inuyasha. What happened here? Did…did you attack the village? I can feel your aura all over these corpse, as if you mutilated them." She turned her sad eyes to Kikyo, and he watched as her eyes hard to icy sapphire jewels. " And you…did you stand there, or did you just come out of the sky."

Kikyo face twisted in sick disgust. " Listen bitch."

Kagome gasped, taken aback, at Kikyo's foul language, before she harden again and moved to look at Inuyasha again. " You stand there and let Kikyo call me these things?"

" I can do nothing except command her to stop. She is my mate, but it would be a disgrace to hit her." Inuyasha replied, eyes downcast. " I have missed you terribly Kagome."

" It is also a disgrace to mate with the dead. And how can you miss me when you're the one who wished me away?" Tears brimmed her eyes. " I'm sorry, that I have called you so much grieve Kikyo! I was always in your way to drag Inuyasha into hell with you. But that was because I was in love with him…and you…you just hated it. I…." She stopped and turned away. " I'm going back to the well, I'm gonna find away home."

" Wait, Kagome!"

" No! I can't…I'm tired of waiting! I've moved on with my life. You should to!" She cast on faltering look to Kikyo and then turned and disappeared.

I was writing on a time limit here, so sorry, I promise to give you a LONG chapter soon!
