Prologue

She ran. Faster than she ever ran in her life. Her legs had a mind of their own and rust told her to keep moving. She didn't know where she was going or what she was going to do when she got there, but she did know that running, well for right now, would make the pain stop. How could he? She traveled with him for three years! She gave up her life in her time and decided that she should just stay here with the occasional visit to her family. Bo, he had to choose her! She wasn't even alive! She was empty...just like Kagome felt right now. She felt alone. She felt cold. She knew it would happen eventually. Why did she still have hope? She was killing herself on the outside. She knew it, Sango knew it, Miroku knew it, hell, and even little Shippo knew it!

Tears flew from her face as she ran, roots and branches reaching up to grab her quickly moving feet. She finally stopped and looked around. Where was she? She tried to find the God's Tree, but found that even from here that she could not see the tall and mighty tree. She sighed and sat down to catch her breath. She leaned back against the tree and tilted her head up to face the cloudy sky.

He saw her and didn't do anything about it. He was hugging her and told her that he loved her more than anything. He chose Kikyou. [a/n: *cough * bitch *cough *] InuYasha looked right into Kagome's eyes, hugged Kikyou and told her that he loved her. How could he? How...how dare he?

Kagome's feelings of sadness, lost, and betrayal turned to anger and ...hate. She pounded her fist against the hard forest floor, creating an echo in the once quiet woods. She looked back up towards the sky and closed her eyes. She heard thunder and the crack of lighting. The weather was echoing her feelings. She could only feel hate and rage. Two feelings she was not very familiar with. They were trying to take over. She felt a drop on her face, then another, and another. The forest was soon filled with the sound of ran pouring from the sky. The world was mourning for a precious being was lost that night.

Kagome stood up and looked towards the sky one more time. She wiped her tears away; never again will she cry for him or anyone. She walked away, the rain pouring around. She looked like an angel: a concrete angel. A being that can't be touched, something unattainable.

-=-=-

InuYasha walked with Kikyou, hand in hand, back to the group. He did feel a little guilty that Kagome saw him with Kikyou. He just thought that she understood that he owned her that much and since they had yet to defeat Naraku, he could at least let Kikyou assist them in completing the quest. As they walked through the forest he heard thunder and it started to rain. Great, just great. He thought to himself. I hope Kagome didn't get caught in the storm. He gave Kikyou his fire-rat coat, picked her up, and cared her to the campsite.

When he got there he noticed that the others had set up two tents that Kagome brought from her time.

"InuYasha!" he heard Miroku call from the bigger tent. InuYasha ran over to it and went inside. He looked around to see that there were only three of his friends there. Where is Kagome?

"InuYasha! You idiot why did you bring Kikyou here? Where is Kagome?" cried a little Shippo, who was being held back by Sango.

"Yes InuYasha, were is my little copy?" asked Kikyou [a/n: *cough * bitch *cough *]

"Didn't she come back?" he asked now a little worried as he heard the lighting crack outside the tent. The others eyes widened with worry.

"N-no." stuttered Sango. "We thought she was with you!" Before they could do or say anything InuYasha was off to look for Kagome.

(I'm gonna be lazy and skip a year into the future)

One year later...

It was now a year today since their angel walked away. They would have forgotten about the jewel if it weren't for Kikyou joining the group. They searched high and low for her. They even went back to the well, but InuYasha came back and told the group that she wasn't in her time. Soon word got out the lovely miko named Kagome had gone missing. Kouga soon found out form all the rumors and helped the group search. His pack was told to look for her as well.

They went from village to village. They about lost hope until rumors stared that a miko with raven black hair, storm colored eyes, and some indecent clothes was in search of the jewel shards and was bringing down some of the most powerful demons. It was rumored that she had more than half of the jewel collected. They followed a rumors and that is how they ended up here in a small village in the southern area of ancient Japan.

The group sat down in the village elder's hut. This was going to be they're last stop if they didn't get a really good lead. It was just the beginning of winter and they could not go and searching for Kagome if half of the group was frozen or sick.

"So you seek out the raven haired miko?" asked the village elder. He looked around the group. It was a strange group indeed, but hadn't she said that the first time she came to this village. "That is correct." answered Miroku.

"Yes, we have seen her. She comes here often. She and one of the children here are like sisters. Mayu [a/n: no not the little ghost girl! I just needed a name, so I used her name!] knows mostly about when she is coming back to visit." The elder told them.

"Can we speak to Mayu, sir?" asked Sango as she pat Shippo on the head.

"Surely, if you answers my question."

"What's your question old man?" asked a grumpy InuYasha. He was usually grumpy when Kikyou was out collecting souls or they didn't get any good information on Kagome.

"Why do you want with the miko?"

"Why would that be any of your business?" InuYasha spat.

"She protects our village from demons and thieves and takes care of the sick when she is here. She is like a ... guardian angel, if you will. The least we can do is make sure we don't send any unwanted guests her way." He answered.

Before InuYasha could answer rudely to the old man Kouga butted in. "Forgive dog terd over here, Kagome is our friend. We just want to find her."

"I'm guessing ye must be Kouga." Kouga looked taken back but then leaned close to the elder and narrowed his eyes.

"How do you know my name?"

"Kagome told me about how you and InuYasha fight a lot. 'Dog terd' she said was one of your favorite names to call him." The wise elder told them.

"So it is Kagome!" cried the monk.

"Yes it is the Kagome you speak, but I am sorry to say that we are not sure if she will becoming back soon. Last winter she did not come back until it was mid spring."

"May we still please speak with Mayu?" asked Sango.

"Of course." They all stood up and went outside. The elder called for her and a girl with shinning black eyes and short brown hair greeted them. He bowed at the group and the elder.

"Yes grandpa?" asked Mayu.

"Do you know when Kagome-sama will be visiting us?"

"Umm... I she said after winter! She said that she is going to be traveling, but she didn't say to where...she said she might not be back until summer..." she said with a frown. She looked around the group and stared at InuYasha's ears. Her eyes got as big a dinner plates when she saw them twitch. "You're InuYasha! Kagome-chan told me to tell you something if I ever saw you!"

InuYasha's eyes went wide "What! What did she say?"

The young girl put her pointer finger to her chin and looked sideways with her eyes. "Umm...I forgot." The group fell over anime style.

-=-=-

The group was now at Keade's hut. They decided to start looking again in the spring. Kouga stepped out of the hut to leave. It was starting to snow and by the way the way it was falling it was going to be a big storm. He ran to his cave where he and his pack were going to wait out the winter.

-=-=-

In the middle of the cold winter night a rider on a black stallion galloped through the snowy field. She wasn't sure were she was going, but she knew that that she had to get to a shelter fast. Her teeth clenched as her right hand held the bandage on her upper left arm.

'Damn demon! He just had to attack when it was fucking below zero and destroy my nice tent. If you could call it that.' Even though she only lost a small amount of blood it made her a lot weaker in the freezing cold. She was starting to become light headed. She squinted in the dark and saw a large cave behind a frozen waterfall. She knew that cave! She just had to reach it before she passed out. Her world started to spin.

'Kouga!' was the final thought of the stranger as she fell off her horse. The beast noticed that his mistress had fallen off and went to her side. He laid down next to her cold body, trying to keep it warm.

-=-=-

"Where are Gouten and Haten?" Kouga called out.

"They should be coming back from scouting any minute now, Kouga." A male wolf demon answered. Kouga turned to go into his private area when he heard a lot of fuss coming from the entrance of the cave.

"Move! Out of the way! Where is Kouga?!" called Haten who was bringing in a black stallion, who didn't look very happy at the moment.

"What the hell is going on, Haten!?" yelled Kouga as he rushed over to his fellow pack member. It was then that Gouten came into the entrance carrying a figure in leather.

"We found her Kouga! We found Kagome!" he cried.

Me: Hello!

InuYasha: How come wolf boy gets to see Kagome first?

Me: Cause I am the author and if what I say goes!

Kouga: Dog breathe stop fighting with the author! It's a losing battle.

Shippo looks up from poker game with Miroku and Sango: Yeah InuYasha!

Miroku stands up with fists in the air: OH YEAH! GO FISH SANGO!!

Sango sweatdrops: Um...we're playing poker, not go fish, Miroku.

Miroku sits back down and stares blankly: Oh.

InuYasha: How come I don't get Kagome?

Kagome: Hmm...there's a hard question. Maybe its because YOU CHOSE KIKYOU OVER ME!

InuYasha: can't I have both?

Everyone falls over.

Me: Look you boisterous gluten-

InuYasha: Don't you start calling me names!

Me: I bet you can't even spell boisterous!

InuYasha: I bet you can't either!

Me: At least I still have my personality.

Kouga looks at Kagome: Is that a good thing?

Kagome: I don't know.

Review!!!
