Chapter 2:Misunderstandings

Over the past four months they had been training non-stop. Kagome had mastered her plant powers and was surprised to learn that she still had her miko abilities. Kagome and Youko had also gotten closer during their training.

Kagome sat on the edge of the lake. Taking off her shoes she dipped her bare feet into the cool, crisp water.She was wearing a black kimono that had a large red dragon stitched into it, that went just above her knees. She sighed, running her fingers through her soft, silver hair.It seemed that she was happy, but she felt confused, frustrated, and a little upset. Why did Youko just leave?

Flashback

"Hey, Youko,"Kagome said, sitting next to him in the field behind his castle,"What do you think...of me?" Youko was shocked by this question. What did he think of her. What if he said the wrong thing! Then what would she think about him? He needed to sort things out. He got up and rushed off, leaving Kagome in her current state.

End Flashback

Did he care about her at all?He just...ran away. She got up, slipping her shoes on and walked towards the castle. She opened the large doors and walked inside silently. Taking off her shoes she crept up the stairs to her room, which was in between Youko's room and Kuronue's room. She shut it, walking across the room to sit on her bed. She felt tired, so she drew the curtains closed and got under the covers. But she couldn't get her mind off of Youko and she soon found tears streaming down her cheek as she snuggled further into the furs.

The next morning was worse. Kagome had found out that both Youko AND Kuronue were missing. She sighed as she slipped on a pair of black shorts and a black tube top, along with a black choker that had a small ruby in the middle. She put her hair into a high ponytail and walked outside. She sniffed lightly in each direction, trying to catch either of their scents.

"Gotcha!" She smirked triumphantly as she ran east. She just couldn't get the nagging voice in her head to shut up. It was whispering to her that something was wrong and not to go looking for them, but she pushed those thoughts aside and decided to concentrate on finding her partners. She stopped, eyes wide as she took in the horrible sight before her.

She should've listened to the nagging voice.
