Chapter 2: The Darkness Within

''And so they live happily ever after. The end'' Kagome finished as she snapped the book shut and laid it inside her backpack. She then look at the happily bouncing fur ball as he chattered quickly. He then turned to her with shinning hopeful eyes,

''Kagome can I be a prince too? Please'' Shippo pleaded as he clapsed his hands together and look at Kagome with his puppy eyes that she can't resist. ''Of course you can but you need to find your princess first.'' She replied with a laugh as she ruffed his head roughly. Shippo didn't complain as he nodded furiously as he bounce happily while saying ''I'm gonna find her'' with a sing-a-song voice over and over again until he was halted by a weak smack at the back of his head.

''Would you shut up already. We get it.'' Inuyasha said tiredly while rubbing his forehead.

''Inuyasha! Apologize now!'' Kagome commanded coldly as she glare at him with a hint of hate in her eyes. Lately she seems punishing him in small little things. She always start an argument in pointless things and now is not different too.

''It's ok Kagome. It doesn't hurt anymore'' Shippo assured her while rubbing his head not wanting another fight and beside it was true. Lately Inuyasha's hit is getting weaker and weaker than normal. He always hit him so he knows the difference. Shippo glance worriedly at the hanyou who was still rubbing his forehead like he was trying to rub away a headache. Sango and Miruko too saw the others changes to the hanyou. He was pale than normal and when they were walking in a long distance they notice he was sweating furiously and his breathing is uneven like he had just run the whole day and he would sometimes clear his throat but always ended in a coughing fit. They all notice this even little Kirara who was always at the hanyou's side giving comfort. Well all of them except for a certain girl.

''I don't care if it hurt or not! The point is that he still hit you.'' Kagome pointed out as she continued to glare at Inuyasha. She always find's a way to start a fight even going so far as using Shippo to start it.

Inuyasha only sigh as he continued to ignore her and rub his forehead but then a flash of pain cross his face gone now the expression he always wore when he was angry that always said 'Shut-up-your-annoying-me' but he quickly hide it behind his tick bangs.

Alarm by the sudden glimpse of the pained expression. Miruko quickly interrupted. ''My friends I think we should retire now for the night. Our journey is after all exhausting. I think we all deserve a peacefull night. Don't you think so Sango?'' Miruko suggested while yawning at the end to prove his point. Sango quickly catch up as she too witness the quick flash of pain the cross the hanyou's face before it was hidden from her view. ''His right Kagome-chan and I am also tired like everyone, right?'' She said as she turn to Shippo who in turn yawn widely to show that they were indeed exhausted.

''But it's only sun—'' She started but was effectively cut by her own yawn.

Miruko inwardly smirk as he know that being from the future, her body can't handle to much activities and was easily tired. She always demanded after at least 3 hours of walking maximum and they rest what felt like hours because of her always complaining about her aching foot.

Kagome nodded happily. After all she deserve it for walking what felt like hours but in reality its only just two and a half hour walk but she could careless as her feet is so sore for walking and her body felt like it weight in tons. She only could think was her comfortable bed back at her time and a hot bath that could relax her stiff muscles but no here she was in the middle of forest full of dangerous demon and worst of all BUGS. She shuddered at the thought, at least she always carried a bug repellant at in her bag.

She quickly set up her sleeping bag as she thought that she would be more comfortable at her soft, warm bed insted on the sleeping bag that was on the cold, hard, dirty ground. She then picked up the dozing Shippo and layed him on the sleeping bag. She snuggle at Shippo like a stuff toy and was about to doze of as well when she heard a soft 'thud' coming from beside the tree that was Miruko's left who was asleep or not, she can't tell exactly. She blinked as she turned to the source of the the sound only to see the hanyou's back slowly walking away.

''Where are you going?'' she snapped not caring if she disturb the sleeping occupants as she glare at his retreating back. Thought of sleep vanished in her mind.

''Walk'' was the short replay as he continue to walk away slowly.

''You're going to meet her, aren't you?'' Kagome asked bitterly but It sounded more like of a statement than a question like it was a fact that people should know.

He stop mid step as he glace at her, expression blank. He stared at her with a calculating look the suddenly turned away from her and continue to the forest.

Kagome felt hate and anger boil inside her as the hanyou ignore her again. How dare he ignore her like that! She is Kagome Higurashi the reincarnation of the great priestess Kikyo who was the protector of the powerful Shiko no Tama and was currently now at her possession, Dammit ! She can't be ignore by this hanyou. His the lowest of the low and she deserve some fucking respect . She will show where he belong. Under her feet.

She got to her feet ignoring that she might jolt Shippo awake. She stood tall as she looked down at him with a sneer at her face. "I'm right. As expected'' she stated smugly.

Inuyasha stop again but didn't bother to face her.. "Selfish brat.'' He said in a tired voice then suddenly jump to the tree then run out of sight.

Kagome's body is shaking in fury as she continue to glare at the tin air where he was standing moments ago. She took a deep breath to calm herself in vain. ''Inuyasha….sit'' she said under her breath with so much venom and hate that the once understanding and caring Kagome now vanished replacing a creature that they can't recognize her anymore. There was a loud bang from the outskirt of the forest like there was a bomb was dropped. Kagome sigh in satisfaction as she heard it. She lay at her 'bed' and fell asleep quickly with a smirk at her face.

Miruko watched silently the whole scene debating if he should go find Inuyasha but decided against it because of the tick nest of the forest it will be hard and if there was a demon attack it will be hard as well to find his way back. He sigh worriedly he then look at the sleeping priestess he frown. Yes he can't recognize her anymore he can't believe that she would hurt him, he can't believe that she treated him like that and he can't believe that she would turn into that.

She always said that she would do at all cost that she would defeat the demons the evil and that she would protect the people. But now here she was turning to the one the she was fighting becoming like them. He would sometimes hear her murmuring and accusing Inuyasha to be one. But his not the one turning. She was.

She is now turning into a monster that only care about herself.
