Chapter 20: One Day Left, But Your Still Always There

(AU: Yeah! We all made it to chappie 20! Thanks for the reviews, everyone! Was that the best chapter…so far?)

ONE DAY LEFT! It was now the beginning of December and there was snow up to everyone's knees. Kagome was huffing and puffing from running away. She was hiding behind a near by tree and heard foot steps coming closer. Bending down, she grabbed a pile of snow in her hands and was armed and ready. '3, 2, 1.' She whispered. Kagome turned around but before she could throw the snow, someone had already hit her with a snow ball! He laughed then quickly bolted away from Kagome.

"Inuyasha…you are so dead when I catch up to you!" Kagome roared.

"Ha, that's if you can!" He snickered. She then felt this power in her legs that forced her to spring up high into the trees. She gazed upon the sprinting hanyou, but before she could catch up with him she just realized what she was doing. Leaping off each tree branch that she landed on, Kagome felt a tickle inside her body that made her feel awkward.

She ignored the feeling and kept springing off the branches. When she came to a clearing that had no snow, Kagome jumped down from the tree's and landed on the ground. There she fixed her eyes upon her surroundings. It felt too strange and peculiar to be in this part of the woods but she wasn't afraid to keep wondering the odd part of the wood. Kagome found a willow tree that looked around sixty years old. She entered its sheltered interior and gazed at the carvings on the tree. The trunk was vast. Her eyes came across a name that she had to take a second look at. It said Inu no Taisho and Kiara. Kagome then heard more rustling in the trees and bushes around her. This time the wind was blowing furiously.

'Taisho…' Kagome softly murmured under her voice.

"That is my name…don't where it out!" He joked.

She turned around. Kagome saw Inuyasha. She smiled warmly and turned back to face the tree.

"That was where my mother and father asked each other out, eons ago." Inuyasha explained.

Kagome nodded. She walked closer to the tree and walked around the gigantic trunk dragging her fingers around the bark. When she stopped her finger was pointing to a name. Phil and Mara.

"That's my father and mothers name." She paused, and then looked at Inuyasha. "Do you think that your parents were my parent's friends?"

Inuyasha smirked at the thought of their parents being friends. "Why would you think that?"

"Well, it says here Mara, Kiara, Inu and Phil friends forever." She replied.

Inuyasha jumped over to wear she was standing and couldn't believe is eyes either. She was right they were all best friends back then.

"That's weird." Inuyasha spoke.

Kagome nodded in agreement.

Kagome looked up to the high snowy branches of the tree and hopped up there in no sweat. Inuyasha was stunned by this. He could have sworn he saw fangs, claws and cat ears. Kagome glanced down at the astonished boy. She only could have guessed that he was stunned by her demonic power.

"Since when did you start to stare like that?" She teased.

He snapped out of his daze and hopped up the tree to where Kagome was.

"Since you came to this school," he answered instantaneously.

Kagome giggled as well as blush. She pecked a kiss on his cheek then jumped back down to the ground. Inuyasha smirked and jumped down as well. She ran behind the tree's trunk while grabbing a pile of snow then rounding it till it was a ball. When Inuyasha looked behind the tree he got hit with something cold in the face.

Kagome laughed hysterically then got another ball of snow and aimed again this time for his shoulder.

Inuyasha growled then yelled, "Oh you're going to regret you did that, wench!"

"Oh, yeah? Try me! She beamed as she bolted out of Inuyasha's sight.

He smirked then bolted right after her. She was pretty quick, he'll give her that. But is she clever enough to find the hidden routes in the woods?

Kagome struggled to find somewhere to hide, until she found this seam in another huge tree. She ran to the tree and ran her claws on the inside of the seam. She saw a crack then anxiously pulled the door-like piece of trunk open. When she opened it, there were a set of stairs that ran deep into the ground where the base of the tree was located.

She smelled Inuyasha's scent coming closer. Since when could she smell a person's scent? She loved his scent though. His scent was vanilla and strawberries mixed together all in one. This time she could hear his breathing coming closer. With out seconds to lose closed the door and ran down the darkened stairs.

The stairs kept going downwards and sometimes she would run into the soiled walls because it was so dark!

Inuyasha snickered that she found out there were passage ways in the woods. The passage ways were made secretly by the ancestors of this world. They made it for princess Keda; so that she could travel down to see her love. Her love's villagers made a passage way for him to also see Keda as well.

He spotted the other passage way up further that the ancestors also made and traveled it down following Kagome's scent. (He's basically in another trail but the trail is right beside Kagome's trail. So therefore they are two different trails that lead to the centre of the whole woods).

So thirty minutes later Kagome finally caught yet again Inuyasha's scent then scurried off into yet another trail that was leading farther away from Inuyasha. Inuyasha sensed her moving farther away, and then picked up his speed.

He found another trail then followed the one that had Kagome's scent coated all around the trails. Inuyasha laughed softly so his voice wouldn't echo throughout the trail.

Kagome sped up once again then met a fork in the path. She fought for the urge to get out of the place, but what she really wanted was for somehow to mask her scent. When she thought about it, she then placed her hands on her heart and seeked the power to mask her scent. A powerful pink-blue aura vanished from her body then she began to run into the left trail as she sniffed his presence growing stronger.

How long was this trail going to take until she would return to the surface? Kagome smiled as she thought of her being a mole trying to find its way out of its tunnel and on to the surfaced ground.

Inuyasha sooner or later came by the fork in the tunnels. He couldn't sniff her scent out anymore. Its like she masked her scent.

He thought about it more and came to the conclusion of that was exactly what she did. So he randomly chose the trail he was in and followed his instinct.

Kagome laughed at this. She could tell that Inuyasha chose the wrong trail. As she ran she met up with another set of stairs. This time they were going down to a deeper part of the trail. She walked down the steps, curious of what was imminent.

Her instinct told her to get away as fast as she could. But something told her that she was meant to come down here. There lying infront of her was a shadowy object. The object looked strange. She walked closer to examine it more carefully, then again kept her distance. She felt the ground shake beneath her feet when she took one step closer. The walls encased her, the stairs were now walls.

She gave a piercing scream that could be heard throughout the whole wood the trails themselves.

When Inuyasha heard the scream come from the opposite direction from where he was going he darted in the other direction where the scream came from.

All he could think about was Kagome. Kagome is she alright? Where is Kagome? What has Kagome gotten herself into this time? Damn girl keeps getting into trouble!

"Kagome I'm coming!" He yelled at the top of his lungs.

Kagome felt an invisible force punch her in the face. She plunged into the slowly moving walls and glanced down to see that the object was a little demon that had a whip in its hands.

Kagome felt another punch, this time in the stomach.

"Ungh!" She squeezed her eyes from the painful blow. She dropped to her knees but quickly got back up on her feet.

She traced the person's movements through the wind and felt them spring forward towards her to attack.

Kagome ducked the attack then felt a known feeling in her arm. The burning was coming back again. She could feel her demonic power want to free itself and unleash its full power.

The invisible person or thing laughed corruptibly, "Don't tell me that's how strong you are!"

"I'd take that back!" Kagome smirked.

The invisible thing made itself visible to Kagome.

It was a woman. Her hair was identical to Kagome's except straighter and much longer. She wore a white robe with tainted black flowers crowding everywhere.

"This is going to be so easy to get rid of you!" The woman sneered. Her heart flowed with sin and wickedness.

"You think you have power to kill me! But your only power is your sins and hatred. That's right I can sense your malicious heart beating through your blood." Kagome bit back.

"Ha, you don't know nothing you stupid bitch! You don't know nothing if your life depended on it!"

Kagome growled at that.

"Oh perhaps I should introduce myself!" The woman added.
