Hey ya'll I would just like to say that I am dedicating this chapter to a reviewer named Linella because she (or he) guessed correctly about who was in the bushes.
"Speaking"
Thinking
Action
"W-who's there?" Kagome stuttered nervously. No reply. "Show yourself!" she yelled out of fear. Before she could catch her breath, a flash flew past her. Suddenly she felt something grab her. Kagome screamed.
Inuyasha's ears twitched. "Kagome!" he said aloud. "What?" asked Sango. "You guys stay here!" he ordered. "I know what that smell was, and it's not a jewel shard," he said and ran off.
"Hey Kagome," smiled Koga. Kagome let out her breath, which she hadn't realized she was holding. "Koga don't scare me like that," she said, still shaking a little. "Oh sorry Kags, it's just I didn't know it was you. You don't smell the same," he said. "You look different too. What is all this?" he asked while tugging at her wing. She slapped his hand away. "That hurts!" she exclaimed, "and don't call me Kags."
Koga apologized again. "So where is Mutt face anyway?" he asked looking around and sniffing the air. "I asked him to give me some time alone," she said, but couldn't finish her sentence before Koga interrupted. "So does that mean you're going to become my mate!" he said and grabbed her hands in his. She yanked her hands away. "No Koga," she sighed. "I'm going to ask you to leave as well. There's a few things I have to do alone. It was nice seeing you though," she said and turned to leave.
Koga reached out and grabbed her halo. He turned it oddly in his hands. "What is this?" he asked. "Give me that!" she demanded and went to grab it back. Koga held it over his head, which was to high for kagome. She stood on her tippy toes to reach, but still had no luck. Koga chuckled.
"Koga!" said another voice. It surprised him so that he dropped the halo. Kagome took advantage of this and snatched up the halo and put it back above her head. "So mutt face is here after all," snorted Koga. "What are you doing here!" snapped Inuyasha. Koga growled. "I'm just talking to my beloved Kagome," he said and pulled Kagome closer to him. Inuyasha's growling got louder.
"Koga," she said, peeling his arm off her waist, "we're just friends. Friends." He ignored her comment and glared at Inuyasha. "Kagome," Inuyasha looked over to her, "what happened to your -um- wing?" he asked, not really wanted to say wing. Kagome obviously knew that as well, and turned away. "Oh nothing. I'm fine, now if you excuse me I'll be leaving now," she said and walked off. "But Kagome," called Koga. "I said I'm LEAVING!" she yelled. Koga and Inuyasha both winced at her voice.
"Look what you've done Mutt face," said Koga. Right then Kagome felt as much as ever like punching him right in the face, but instead and just continued walking. "Kagome!" Koga called out and ran to catch up with her. Inuyasha growled and knocked him away. "Will you both leave!" she ordered. "I have loads to do and I have to do it alone!" Immediately after saying that she felt bad. Kagome knew Inuyasha's worst fear was being alone. Good job Kagome. Let's just make him feel bad. She told herself sarcastically.
Those two were making to much noise. If she were to ever find a unicorn everything would have to be quiet. Deathly quiet. Although her body said no and it wasn't at all what she wanted to do, she flapped her wings. She winced at first. The wound instantly reopened, but she flapped harder anyway. Without looking back, she flew off.
Inuyasha looked up to see Kagome flew away. He could sense her pain and smell her blood. His ears dropped. Inuyasha turned and punched Koga as hard as he could in the gut and then walked away.
Once she was out of sight from the two arguing demons Kagome's strength left her and she fell straight to the ground with a rolling landing. She crashed right into a hollow rotting log. With a moan she looked around at her surroundings. She used her arms the push herself up. She felt on her hip for her little bag. She gasped and looked down. It wasn't there.
Kagome frantically looked everywhere. "It's not here!" she yelled. I must have lost it during the storm. Dammit Kagome why weren't you paying attention? She stood to her feet, wobbled some, and walked back to where she had fallen a while ago. I am not flying again. She looked back at her wing. Yep, reopened. Blood was dripping onto the ground. She painfully turned away.
She tripped a few times, but finally managed to go on with out stumbling. Kagome stopped at the spot where she had stopped. She boulder. "Eh," she coughed. It already brought back painful memories. She looked up the side of the mountain. There was part of the branch that had snapped on her, but no bag. She looked by the boulder. No bag. In a bush. No bag. Where she had fallen the second time. No bag.
Soon the sun started to set, and still the bag had not been found. She heard a rustle in a bush. "Koga!" she snapped. But to her surprise a fox came out. She knelt down to pet it when the creature came over to her. It sniffed at the bleeding wing. "You look familiar," she said aloud. Suddenly the fox yipped in the direction it had come in and started to run off. It didn't take Kagome long to realize that something was coming. Something bad.
Mura smiled wickedly. Everything was going wrong, just like she had predicted. "She'll never survive this," she chuckled. But just in case it did, she had a few things to make sure kagome would die trying.
Mountain lion. There was a mountain lion. It had come down from the mountain side. The fox had know, but Kagome had not. She was frozen in fear. She could see every muscle on it, every breath it took. Every movement it made. It was staring right at her, not even blinking. Almost as if it was teasing her, taunting her with her own life. Kagome slowly backed up, not looking away from it. "I know you're a demon," she whispered. "Animals don't attack angels," she still whispered.
It roared and lept for her. She took off in a blinding sprint. She raced into the forest. Everything looks so familiar. A second roar came. "Two!" she exclaimed. I forgot they travel in groups. "Be gone demon! I know you can understand me, leave me alone. I have done nothing wrong!" she panted as loud as she could.
One of them sprang for her, but missed. It slashed at her leg, not missing. Kagome could feel the blood stream down. Tears streamed down her face. "Go away," she pleaded. She looked around. Everything is so familiar. She mentally stopped. Of course, the fox, the log, the forest. This was the forest that I was in before. A third lion appeared.
Abruptly the lions stopped chasing her. The three stopped and slowly crept toward her. Kagome stopped and turned to face them. They took a step, she took a step backwards. Another step, another step. They all kept their stare on her. Another step, step, step.
Kagome felt her foot go off something. She looked behind her, over her shoulder. How could she not have heard it. A water fall. How could she not have seen it? It's impossible. That wasn't there before. She listened, no sound. There should have been a roaring thunderous noise from the over flowing water, but nothing. The fox was sitting down at the edge, its tail wrapped around its body.
It looked at her, then the falls, then her again. "You want me to-?" she stopped herself short. She had forgotten that the lions could understand her. But they didn't seem to know that the water fall was there. Are only the fox and me the only ones who can see it? A growl rumbled from one of the demon's throat. The fox wants me to jump. She looked back again. It's my only choice.
She took one last look at the demon and jumped.
Kagome looked up one last time to notice that the fox had a ceratin glow to it. If her eyes weren't tricking her, there was also a set of small wings and a halo.
Her heart was pounding so hard that she thought it was going to burst right out of her chest. The sound of the falls finally hit her ears once she jumped over the edge. She could feel the water in the thick air as it condensed onto her skin. Faster and faster she dropped, but she wasn't scared. No. More like, thrilled. Why do I feel this way? This could kill me, but I feel good. I feel great!
Kagome hit the water a few moments later. She plunged deep under, until everything got dark, but she floated right back up instantly. She gasped for a breath once she reached the top. No pain. Not even normal pain. She glanced over her shoulder at her wing. It was healed.
Healing water! The fox had to have been an angel. I've heard of these places in a story once. Only angels can open the entrance to the still forest with the healing waters. Kagome looked around. This was not the same forest she had fallen from.
The water fall was no longer there, the pond was completely still. The forest around her seemed to be a glow from the full moon's light. The ground was soft moss, no dirt of pine needles. Kagome could almost feel the life from the trees. Everything was silent and still. Kagome looked at the shore.
A unicorn was getting a drink from the waters.
I love it! It's way longer than normal so I want 13 reviews or more. Again I would like to say that this chapter was dedicated to Linella. I hope you liked it! Please read and review!
