Disclaimer: I do not own InuYasha

Kagome's eyes fluttered open, unfortunately it was no better then the back of her eye lids, darkness confronted her from every angle. She couldn't even see her hand in front of her, inches from her face. "Ok I know it was dark out tonight but this is ridiculous," she thought. Kagome slowly stood up and looked around but this act was all in vain, the darkness went on for miles around her. "Ok don't panic, just think of what happened before all the lights went out in the world," Kagome said out loud to her self while trying to calm down her nerves. Only problem with this was it just made things worse, she couldn't remember what happened before she blacked out. "Alright this is a problem," Kagome sat down Indian style putting her elbows on her knees flopping her head in her hands causing raven black tresses to fall in her face. "Just concentrate it will come back…steady breaths and everything will be alright…" Kagome continued to coax herself to keep her panic at bay.

Images flashed before her, swords clashing, a man coming up to her and then someone yelling out her name as everything faded to black. "The battle, that's right, but how did I black out?" Kagome was trying to remember this when her thoughts were interrupted by an image coming towards her. The silhouette was outlined in what seemed to be the moon's light but no moon could be seen, the figure continued towards her. All she could do was stare frozen to the spot, she didn't know where she was and she couldn't see anything but the figure coming at her, she was at there mercy.

"Who are you! What do you want!" Kagome yelled at the figure, but there was no response the figure just kept walking, all that could be heard was silence and it was deafening. Kagome was officially freaked out by the figure, she took a step back bringing her hand up to her chest where the jewel fragments were located but they were gone.

A low laugh came from the figure in front of her he was now several feet away from her, he stopped. She could feel the gaze of the person on her, she could feel her skin grow cold and shivers were running down her spine. "I see you have noticed that I now have your portion of the sacred jewel?" a man's voice said full of amusement.

Kagome's eyes widened in shock and then in horror, she knew who was in front of her and of the danger that she was in. "Naraku!" she spat at the man. He laughed under his breath again and then started to step towards her again but this time as he got closer he became more visible his long wavy black hair seemed to flow into the darkness itself, his pale skin seemed to glow and his eyes red of hatred. He had on his usual baboon pelt but the hood was obviously behind him. Kagome began to step backwards but he saw this and with lightning speed was behind her.

"You wouldn't get far priestess," he whispered in her ear, she squirmed at the feel of his breath on her skin. "After all it's just me and you, that wretched hanyou and any other friend of yours are no where around." Tears filled Kagome's eyes, he was right she was alone, where were they? Why weren't they here? "Now priestess…"he started sweetly but what came out of his mouth next was pure hatred, "you die!" His hand shot from her left was now around her throat and holding her in place against him, she gasped from shock and lack of air to her now deprived lungs. Her hands went to his trying to pry them off but to no avail, hope was gone, she was going to die alone. A single tear rolled down her cheek onto Naraku's hand. Once it hit his hand light emitted from it and she was surrounded but light and Naraku had vanished.

Kagome dropped to the ground choking and sputtering as the air stung her lungs as it re-entered. Tears were flowing freely from her eyes now, she had come so close to death and she still had no idea where her friends were. "Kagome?" a voice said, she quickly looked up to see who the voice belonged to, InuYasha. "Kagome, please stop crying, we are here now," InuYasha said as he extended his hand to help her up. She took it and looked at him then let her eyes travel around as she did her friends seemed to appear first Kouga, then Shippo, Miroku, and then Sango.

"My sweet Kagome why are you crying?" asked Kouga coming up taking her other hand which was still in InuYasha's hold.

"I…I can't remember…" Kagome replied blushing from the wolf's actions and the fact she couldn't remember two minutes ago.

"Oh well who cares," huffed InuYasha, "As long as she's not crying now that's all I care about." Kagome squeezed his hand and smiled at him which caused the hanyou to blush deeply. With both men by her side she started to walk towards her other friends knowing that she would be able to fight anything or any one as long as they were by her side.
