Chapter 1
Kagome had just returned, once again, from her own time. Walking up to the hut in which Kaede lived, she could see Kikyou standing with Sango, Miroku, Shippo, and Inuyasha. She took a deep breath and forced herself to put the constant irritation she felt when ever Kikyou was near aside and continued on her way back to the group.
"Hi guys." She said in her normal, happy voice though she really didn't want to. Kikyou turned to face her with a mischievous smirk on her face.
Kagome turned to Inuyasha who was staring down at her with a very serious look, which made her raise and eyebrow. She knew something was about to happen. She looked to Sango and Miroku. They both looked to the floor unable to look Kagome in the eye as Shippo stepped up to Kagome, obviously pissed off.
"What's going on?" Kagome asked nervously.
"Kagome, Kikyou is joining our group." Inuyasha said bluntly and not even giving her a chance to speak he continued, "And I am sorry, but there is nothing that you can say that will change our minds."
"Our?" She said knowing that he was referring to Sango and Miroku as well, but just wanting to confirm it.
"Yes Kagome…" Sango said nervously at how her friend may react to this sudden betrayal.
"Kagome I am sorry, but we have been hunting that bastard Naraku for years." Miroku said, "And we all now agree that if we had two people that can sense the jewel and have many similar powers, we might be able to finally subdue him."
"And you are saying I have no say in this what-so-ever?" Kagome asked.
"No you don't." Inuyasha said.
"I am sorry Kagome, but no." Sango added, "We have all agreed to this."
"Alright then." Kagome said shrugging.
"You aren't going to fight it." Miroku said in shock.
"Why would I? I certainly have no say in it." Kagome said setting her backpack on the floor and starting to look through it. "And since I obviously am not important enough to either of you that you have to bring this bitch into our fucking group without talking to me about it I am leaving."
"Kagome!" Sango said, her eyes widening as her friend pulled out a small glass bottle that held their jewel shards.
"What?" Kagome said dumping the shards in to the palm of her hand.
Everyone stared at her. She pulled a single shard from the pile and set it in the bottle once more. Kagome turned to the rest; her eyes narrowed and held out her hand. She waited for someone to reach out, but no one did so she opened her hand and dropped the shards to the floor.
"Goodbye." Kagome said.
"What the hell?!" Inuyasha yelled, "You are serious?"
"What you thought I was lying?" She picked up her bag and turned away, "I'm leaving you, all of you. I am not going home, so you don't have to worry about that. I am going to travel on my own, find the shards, and when I have them…"
"When you have them, what?" Inuyasha said.
"When I have them…" Kagome said turning back to them all, holding up the bottle with the single shard, "You will have to kill me to get any shards I might have on me."
"What do you mean Kagome?" Shippo yelled.
"Well Shippo I absolutely refuse to sit here and be forced to watch Inuyasha and this clay potted bitch fool around in front of me continuously." Kagome said.
"What the fuck did you call me?" Kikyou finally spoke.
"You heard me. I called you a clay potted bitch."
"I suggest you watch it…"
"No!" Kagome said interrupting her, "I suggest you watch it."
"Excuse me?"
"You heard! One thing I have learned about you Kikyou, is that you are dead! The only thing that is keeping you alive is a collection of souls of dead women."
"And that has to do with what?" Kikyou said with an eyebrow raised and her arms crossed along her chest.
"Well I talked to Kaede about it and she told me that you may be getting your energy off the souls, but the only one that is keeping you alive… is mine."
"Yes that is right, but what does that have to do with anything?"
"Oh wow. You don't know? So much for the Great Priestess Kikyou."
"What is it that I don't know?"
"Well since I am the natural owner of that soul, I can call it back into my body in a matter of seconds. You would die and I would have my full soul back."
"You wouldn't dare!" Inuyasha said.
"Oh really?" she replied, "And what the hell do I have to lose? I have lost my life because of your ass. I have given up my friends, my family, and my home. NOT ONLY THAT, BUT I HAVE LOST THE SO CALLED FRIENDS THAT I STAYED HERE FOR IN THE FIRST FUCKING PLACE!"
"Kagome…" Sango said.
"SHUT UP!" Kagome yelled to her shocking everyone and then turned to Inuyasha once more, "What the hell more can you take away from me!"
"Kagome…" Inuyasha said, "I… I didn't think of it…"
"I KNOW!" She yelled, "You have never thought of a damn person on this planet, but yourself and the stupid pottery item next to you."
"Kagome don't go!" Shippo asked helplessly.
"Sorry Shippo, but I'm gone. It's to damn late now. Your guys' attempt to make this group stronger just fucking went down the drain didn't it?" She said laughing.
Kagome turned and walked toward the forest leaving everyone else that used to be her friend and potential lover completely speechless. She entered the forest not looking back to the group once.
Her body faded into the shadows of the forest. Sango stood there in tears as Miroku tried to comfort her. Shippo sat down in the grass crying harder then he ever had before as Kikyou walked into the hut after gathering the shards and Inuyasha stared at the spot in the forest that Kagome disappeared on.
"She's gone! I can't believe it!" Sango said crying into Miroku's shoulder.
"She isn't serious, you know?" Inuyasha said.
"What are you talking about?" Miroku said as Sango stopped crying just a bit and looked to him.
"She took a shard with her. She isn't serious." Inuyasha said obviously in denial.
"What?" Sango said, glaring at him, "You think she isn't serious?"
"No. I know she isn't serious." Inuyasha replied.
"WELL OF COURSE SHE IS FUCKING SERIOUS INUYASHA!" Sango yelled into his ears, "YOU DIDN'T EVEN GIVE HER A FUCKING SAY IN IT! YOU KNOW SHE HATES KIKYOU!"
"Calm down!" Inuyasha whined, covering his ears, "You are too loud."
"HELL NO! NO! NO! NO!" Sango continued, "THIS IS ALL YOUR FUCKING FAULT INUYASHA! YOU ARE PATHETIC! ONE OF THESE DAYS YOU ARE GOING TO REALIZE KIKYOU IS DEAD! DECEASED! GONE! FAKE! SHE ISN'T FUCKING LIVING YOU DUMB DOG! AS KAGOME SAID SHE IS A FUCKING POT! MADE OF CLAY!"
"WATCH THE WAY YOU TALK ABOUT KIKYOU!" Inuyasha yelled.
"Okay that is enough!" Kaede walked out of the hut with Kikyou following, "We are all hurting a great deal with the fact that out Kagome may not be returning to us, but there is no need for the shouting."
"I'm sorry Kaede…" Sango said.
"You will all see Kagome again." She stated rising some of their hopes, "Hopefully then the child would have calmed down and decided to return to us, but for now come in and rest."
They all went into the hut. Sango stopped and looked out to the forest. She knew Kagome wasn't coming back. They had been having continuous conversations about her once day not returning to the group, but Sango never thought he would truly happen. She walked into the hut with everyone else and rested as Kaede told them to.
