Chapter 13- New Foe and the Truth Revealed

Kagome was running as fast as she could. She had put on a straight face and been the strong little solider but she couldn't, 'I can't! I won't!' she thought franticly as she continued to run hopping that soon all of her pain would simple disappear. Soon, she came across a center field and stopped in her tracks. 'Where am I?' she thought as she searched for a place to sit. Just as she was about to sit a tall black haired man appeared. He was covered in a babbon skin but by aura alone Kagome could tell.

"Show yourselft, Naraku!"

"My, aren't we aware. And why so alone, I thought that mutt would never leave you?" he teased and he started to near her. However, just as soon as he got close a shield went up and soon he found him self putting distance between the two.

"Why so tense, I simply want what is mine."

"That's just it, it isn't yours now back off." She growled as her miko energy began to be overwhelmed by that of her demon. That's when Naraku started to laugh. He laughed at the feeling of her power, at the feel of her demonic power and most of all at her true appearance.

"You're mine!" he shouted suddenly reaching for her and getting hold.

"Never!"

"Always is more like." He hissed while reaching for her wrist and lips all at once. Though, just as he was about to kiss her a large amount of magic was released.

"Earth, coffin!" yelled a distant voice, giving Kagome enough time to move back.

"Now my turn, Wind, dicing daggers!" she yelled as the wind sped up and daggers formed over head. Naraku tried to run; he tried to make his get away only to be trapped within a miko barrier.

"Nice try, now you're turn, show your self!" demanded Kagome as she readied another attack.

"Chill, it's me."

"Inuyasha? But…"

"Never mind, I'll explain later." He said while quickly glancing at her just to make sure she was alright.

"But didn't I tell you to stay the hell away form her?" he growled out.

"Looks like its time for me to leave, until next time my queen and remember you are mine. That is unless you want o be his." And with that Naraku disappeared, leaving them no chance to ask for an explanation. Once he was gone Kagome relaxed a little only to try to run off again. However, she felt her family's guidance urging her to stay, to talk to the one that was to love her and protect her. 'Why? Why can't I tell him?' she thought.

"Kagome?"

"Yea?"

"Listen, I'm sorry about telling you all those things while you weren't you. I just…"

"Don't worry about it, I understand. I probably would have done the same thing if I was in your situation."

"Really?"

"Yea, so you want to tell me why you were following."

"Well, honestly I'm not sure."

"Listen, if we're going to make things work we're going to have to.." but before Kagome could finish both felt a large wave of magic being castled over them and being sent into a war hole. Inuyasha too Kagome in his hands and held her tight. He would not let anything happen to her, 'No mater what' he thought as they fell.
