Chapter One: Goodbye Kikyo

Kagome watches Inu Yasha run off yet again and snarls, belying just how long she has been in the company with a certian foul tempered inu hanyou. "Sango I'm going home for a while, don't tell Inu Yasha, I'm also sealing the well for the time while I'm gone so that baka dog doesn't try to come retreive me before I'm ready to come back."

During Kagome's tirade Sango's eyes had progressively grown wider but she nods and hugs her "sister" goodbye"Be Safe Kagome-san." Kagome nods and gathers her stuff back into her pack that she had started using when she had graduated from school, having long since wore the yellow back pack completely out. Then after a final wave goodbye she heads home. As soon as she left Keade's village behind she drops her happy facade and allows her volitile anger to surface.

She walks closer to the God Tree and the well, as she does she can hear grunting noises which are gradually gaining volume. Stopping behind a Large oak she peers around it and there at the base of the God Tree is a sight that makes her blood boil. She growls deep in her chest as a red haze begin to creep over her vision.

Dropping her pack silently Kagome stalks stealthily into the clearing, unnoticed by either occupant, once she got as close as she can stand to the putrid stench she swipes with both hands her newly fomed claws rendering the flesh (if it could be called that). Kagome takes great pleasure in rendering the clay to dust particles. With Kagome's beast still in control she springs away from one very rattled Inu Yasha, whom is thus far unharmed.

Kagome is crouching down on the opposite side of the clearing, when Inu Yasha takes a closer look he can see her wipping what looks like dirt off her hands and cleaning it out from under her claws... 'What a second when did Kagome gain claws?' Inu Yasha questions himself as Kagome picks up her pack and heads to the well again.

Inu Yasha gapes at Kagome's retreating back his jaw dropped open as far as his skull would allow. Within moments Kagome disappears into the well without a single backwards glance.
