What happened to me? Is this death? Agh. All I could see was darkness in the distance, as consciousness slowly returned to me. No, I wouldn't . . . I wouldn't feel this pain if I was dead. I didn't open my eyes, as the fire inside me continued to throb throughout my body. I was so exhausted; as the pain drew all my strength form me. Was I going to die like this? Alone and eaten by a beast, away from my home. Memories slowly began to flash before me. A man in a kimono, tall and broad shouldered, with brownish hair and a wide grin on his face. Who was this man?
"Kakuju are you nervous, come my dear." Kakuju? That's not my name. Who is this man?
Suddenly, a loud voice could be heard in the distance. I tried to open my eyes, but I didn't have the strength. I began to fade into unconsciousness again, blackness threatening me.
"What the hell happened, hey girl wake up hey hey!" a male voice yelled. I could hear many voices get louder and louder, all very strange. "Hey Kagome," yelled the same voice, "look at her clothes." I could feel a warm hand stretch across my forehead. No. Wake up. Wake up. Wha- what is going on?
"Oh god, this isn't good she is as cold as ice. But I can feel a pulse, she's alive. You guys we need to get her to the village and fast. Her pulse is erratic, she might be dying," said a female voice.
"How could she be dying when she killed that puny demon herself, look at it she basically destroyed it, you all saw it right? The red light!" the make voice yelled. Red light? Darkness took me again.
Consciousness came and went with what felt like hours. The pain didn't faze a moment and I suddenly awoke later and grasped the will to open my eyes. I was being carried on someone's back, someone wearing a read kimono. I screamed as I continued to feel the pain, grasping my chest in a deathlike grip.
"Agh, agh wh- where am I?" I gasped, shutting my eyes, trying to contain the pain in some way. The movement stopped as the man with long white hair looked behind him at my face. Are those . . . dog-ears? I thought to myself. The man had yellow eyes, and a serious look on his face. He regarded me intently, trying to get something from my face.
"You know you look awful, what the hell happened to you, you've been screaming in and out since we picked you up. Are you that much pain?" I stared at him, in shock, suddenly remembering what had happened. I responded in a weak voice, struggling to not scream again.
"You killed that thing then?" I asked hoping that he would confirm it. He raised his eyebrows, and looked shocked.
"Are you telling me you didn't realize that you killed that demon? It was dead when we got there, what did you do, what are you?"
"Inuyasha enough, your being to hard on her, don't you see how much pain she is in," the female voice from before answered. I turned to see a black haired girl sitting on a huge cat from what I could tell. Am I seeing this, I thought to myself? The pain must be making me delusional. The girl approached me, which gave me a chance to get a closer look at her. She was tall and well built, but looked no older than 15 or 16 years old. She had on a green sailor uniform, and had a bow and arrow case across her back. What?
"Hey are you alright, you gave us quite a scare before, I thought you weren't going to make it. My name is Kagome, who are you?" Kagome looked at me with a kind expression, waiting patiently for my answer. I groaned, as another sharp throbbing sensation radiated through my brain. Oh no, why won't this pain stop!
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH," I screamed as it continued. I didn't notice Inuyasha start to sprint forward. The gusts of wind whipped through my face and hair as I fainted and fell into the abyss.
