"Its times like these that I find myself running away from the darkness of my past, its times like these that I wish I was someone else, but I'll never be anyone but Kagome Higurashi the girl of many misfortunes,"Kagome sighed to herself as she bent her head for a moment walking out of the room while Kakashi followed close behind. He continued to yell or voice his opinion about the situation. Meanwhile she left to tune him out. Stopping abruptly she yelled angrily, "Shut up!"

The portriats on the walls around them quivered and broke to the ground as her chakra flared around her. She yelled angrily, "I well never be with him, he is a monster! Never!"

Kakashi staggered backwards as Kagome stopped suddenly realizing what she was doing. At any other moment she would have ran away without a second thought. She would have disappeared and perhaps never returned until she absolutely needed too yet as she remembered, she was a prisoner here and nothing more. Gripping her body she remembered the pain she ran through. Taking a deep breath she turned her head away frantically, "I'm heading back to work."

"Don't be ignorant, whether you like it or not this is how things are, you have to deal with it! It's getting dark and this time you are running into the darkness rather into the light...this isn't really you."

"I know that, but it was me, I believe in every life you take an attribute from the previous, and I took the attribute of stupidity."

Disappearing she returned to see the sun setting, her chest hurt as she fell to her knees Something was very bad, something was going to happen again. She begged very much so that she wouldn't have to relieve the moment that Naraku came and went after these people that brought her here. Leaning back she heard a genin yell out suddenly to her, "Hey!"

Turning she stood not moving as they continued, "You're back! Good, Anko went to go investigate an error in the exams this year. She wants you to get into the forest and watch out with any issues but you are not to tamper with any problems that the kids are dealing with."

Glancing behind him into the forest she stopped and turned away. She bit her thumb then nodded, "Fine then, allow me a moment."

"No you are to go now."

She stared up to him seriously then turned away waving him off, "Open the door then."

Walking in she saw him holding her sword. Gripping it she swallowed hard walking into the forest hearing the two gates close behind her. It reminded her dimly of the moment to which she walked into the future. A permanent stamp on her head, and a permanant scar on her back to go with the others. Running she continued almost hoping to run into Naruto or Sasuke. Suddenly she slid to a stop seeing before her a group of bugs sucking greedily on bodies in front of her. She gripped her head falling to the ground suddenly as she remembered Naraku slidding leeches onto her body burning her flesh. She screamed viciously, "Stop it! Go away!"

As if it was a broken twig the memory disappeared. She looked around shaking furiously and found herself disappearing amist the long trees. She kept moving ignoring all the pleas for help and seeking anything that was unusual. She shouldn't be here as she told herself, this was definately wrong. Glancing around she felt her legs grow wobbly. Turning she saw that her legs showed as to be melting. Stopping she cursed herself reaching out and grabbing her kunai stabbing herself looking around, she wasn't supposed to get involved whomever was daring to mess with her was going to pay handsomely. Deciding she would have to test out her latest jutsu learned from one of the book she red she pressed her hands to her head. The ground around them shook furiously as she noticed she heard screams. They were looking at a wasteland of dead ones and just as she left they would be out of their little trance.

Kagome walked along gripping her sword tightly, "What exactly as I looking for?"

It seemed like hours later when Kagome realized without feeling any fatigue that the sun had come up which meant she'd been here all night, which continuing on meant that she would have to return and go back to the main tower not the beginning. This forest was a death trap and maze in one. Continuing to walk she heard the sound of a ravine. Walking along she felt something grab her. Her body tensed and her eyes went wide as she heard a cruel voice whisper, "So we meet again..."

Tears weilded up in her eyes as she turned slowly a horrific scream breaking from her lips.

Naruto turned his head quickly as Sasuke, Sakura and Kabuto followed. They looked around carefully turning there backs to look around, "What was that?"

Sasuke tried to calm himself as Kabuto whispered, "Things like this have been happening the whole time we should keep moving..."

Sakura looked around a kunai in her hand carefully when suddenly she murmured, "It sounded so familiar though I mean not the scream but at the same time..."

Kabuto stared at them as Naruto turned his head casually, "sounded like...Kagome."

Sasuke whispered, "The only thing that would make her scream like that would be, him."

Kabuto asked obviously annoyed with the coded words asking, "What are you talking about?"

They all looked at each other when they saw from a far distance what seemed to be falling trees. Sasuke cursed himself for saying what he would yet he knew it must be done instead of going on curiousity, "Come on we need to keep going."

Kabuto nodded, "We don't want to be spotted..."

Naruto glanced to Sakura then to Sasuke. He murmured for him to hear as they walked, "That wouldn't be her, she can handle herself."

He turned away uncaringly bitting down on his nail.

Kagome coughed out blood as she fell from the tree. He had thrown her against 16 trees half went down and the others threatened to fall over her as she laid on the ground trying to breathe yet knowing she wouldn't be able to. The pain constricted her along with the vast awareness that she was so terrified she was ready to go into cardiatic arrest. She lifted her head seeing Naraku walking closer and closer. She jumped back falling as blood down her down arms, he had cut deeply into both of them and with her guess he was going for her legs next. He on the other hand was paralyzed in half his body due to the purifcation she had set on him, lucky 1 time only shot.

She moved back gripping she her sword staring up at her viciously.He ran at her as she staggered back quickly avoiding the attack and planting her leg into his face as he flew back. She gripped her chest as she ran to the side suddenly onto the feel something grab her leg. Her mind was playing tricks on her out of fear and frustration. She was going to lose this match if she didn't get things together soon. He suddenly turned her leg feeling the poison of his touch as she gritted her teeth. Grabbing him she flung him back, "I won't scream for you!"

Lifting her hand it glew a dark purple as she moved to dive it into his neck. Sliding back she screamed, "Fire style!"

Fire escaped her lips as she churned. He drummed, "So you have learned some things from this world, I am impressed Kagome."

Glaring around her she warned, "Don't you dare..."

"I'll leave you to lick your wounds now but the next time do be ready for a real fight."

Instantly a typhoon appeared as she flew back quickly as if a giant himself had thrown her back. She flew through the trees until she suddenly landing on the ground sliding deep into a gash of dirt. Coughing loudly she felt her body become paralyzed. Laying there she whispered, "Sasuke..."

Sasuke froze in his place as he turned his head carefully back to the path they came. Walking back he heard Kabuto ask suddenly, "What is it? Whats wrong, time is running out we don't have time..."

"The sound of combat was close and I know I heard something."

Naruto followed glancing to Kabuto and then back. He continued back staring daggers at the area before them. Suddenly in the distance they saw a mound as a foot sticking out. He ran quickly bending down as Sakura finally followed yelling out in question, "Sasuke! Naruto! What is it?"

Naruto stopped short then gritted his teeth turning back, "it's Kagome, she's hurt bad..."

Sakura covered her mouth grabbing her weapon and looking around, "Which means he's here too..."

Sasuke picked her up bridal style, her breathing was faint and her body shook with rage and fear as he noticed her was completely out of her. Walking he realized suddenly how tired he had become. Hoisting her onto his back he turned, "Lets go."

Kabuto asked suddenly, "Who is this, we can't be bringing other people in, they won't be allowed anyway."

Naruto turned, "She's not a competitor only a bitch."

Kabuto stared at them unsure of what to do or say but only then as they continued he did voice, "This isn't a good idea, she's going to wear us down."

"We don't have a choice."

"She's unconscious of course you have a choice."

"We owe her!"

They continued to argue for who knows how long. Soon the sun began to die down and instantly the pain in Sasuke's neck began to grow. Naruto turned suddenly as they all listened to what seemed to be a loud rustling in the bushes. Everyone turned yet it turned to be a large centipede which was quickly taken care of. Sasuke glanced to the sleeping Kagome, she was bleeding alot and he didn't really how what to do about it, and he left her there. As they continued walking he motioned to Naruto to take her for a short time yet as she left his arms her eyes opened halfway. Everyone stopped laying her down as Sakura leaned over, "Kagome?"

She stopped as Sasuke muttered, "Bitch."

Her fist went up nearly punching him in the face yet she shrieked in pain at the adjustment of her arm. Kabuto leaned over slowly unsure of how to act when Kagome lifted herself everyone froze. She took a deep breath in relief, "He's gone?"
