l: A Piece of her

As she stalked through the woods, her anger would not go away.

She was a few miles from her "home." Otherwise known as Kaede's hut.

She was so sick, and so tired, of that miserable Inuyasha! He had done it again! He had run away from her- for Kikyou.

But this time wasn't like any of the other times.

No, it was way worse.

Kagome had been walking this way for at least half the day today! And now her body was covered in discusting sweat!

She hated sweating! And especially hated doing it in fuedel japan where she could so seldomly take a bath!

But this was the very least of her worries right now.

She looked up into the sky and she noted with some fear that the sun was setting below the trees. It was getting dark really early- which confused her.

Just how far away from "home" was she?

"I better head back..." She mused worriedly to herself.

Then she realized as her mind was trying to comprehend why it was getting so dark that tonight was the night of the new moon! Inuyasha wouldn't be able to rescue her if something happened out here! Let alone he wouldn't be able to find her!

"Don't be silly Kagome." She whispered angrily to herself, her body beginning to tremble with the heat of anger, and sadness mixed together as it held back many many tears, just as it always did on these occasions, when Inuyasha chose Kikyou over her.

He always would.

She was trying to focus her mind on staying mad at Inuyasha, and give herself something to think about so that she wouldn't become scared.

Kagome glanced around the area of woods she was in, she had walked far and now she couldn't see, and she didn't know where she was.

"I don't know my way back!" Kagome's heart sank.

She began walking in the direction that she thought she came from. She then began to feel panic build up inside herself.

Kagome looked into the sky and recognized the Goshinboku tree towering above the others, it was raised above all the other trees, and into the sky. That tree was huge!

"So---If I just follow that tree---" She said happily to herself. "then i'll find home!" the last sentence escaped her in a excited sigh.

She began trotting back that way, and as she was so focused on the god tree that she slammed her toe against a tree root and she screamed out in pain, and as she began to fall down her foot got stuck under the root and she ended up twisting her foot in a way that it was not supposed to twist!

On her way down she reached her arms out to grab something- and her one hand dug it's nails into the tree, and she ended up making her hand bleed very badly because it had bent back her nails, and the other hand hit the ground hard and with her weight put completely ontop of it, she heard something snap.

Inuyasha was sitting inside of Kaede's hut waiting for the sun to go down. He was very impatient as his sinces slowly began to dull.

That and he was worried about Kagome. He sat there inside of Kaede's safe hut, his leg shaking, as his thoughts fled back to what had happened earlier.

flashback

Kagome had been missing for awhile now and Inuyasha was very worried. There was something very wrong in the atmosphere, everything around him was way to still. It was deathly quiet. Even the air was stale.

"KAGOME!" He yelled out, for the billianth time that morning. She had gone to the river to get water and then she never came back!

"Where the fuck are you?" He growled to himself as he began feeling fear for her boil up inside of himself.

That was when he saw something that made his heart miss a beat in his chest.

He saw one of Kikyou's soul-stealers gliding through the trees.

"Damnit Kagome." He breathed out as he tried to stay calm. He knew that Kagome more than likely had somehow made her way to Kikyou. She always did when Kikyou was around, and this always caused so much...pain for both of them.

He had to go to Kikyou, and rescue Kagome. He knew it in his gut that without a doubt, Kikyou had to do with Kagome's dissapearance.

Inuyasha took off after the soul-stealer, and followed it quickly through the trees. And as he did, Inuyasha was hoping against all hope that Kikyou had not harmed Kagome.

Inuyasha was terrified at what he'd see when he finally got to her.

He rounded a group of old trees and stopped at a clearing in the forest. There standing so tall and still, stood Kikyou with her back to him, just staring at Kagome.

He could not see the look on Kikyou's face but Kagome-

"Inuyasha!" She said exasperatedly. She was on the other side of the clearing and Kikyou stood in between them.

Kagome looked like she wasn't harmed, but the look on her face told him otherwise.

"Kag-" He started to say, and he took a step towards her.

"Inuyasha." Kikyou stated solemnly. She said it in such a tone of finality that it seemed that everything around them stopped, just at the tone in her voice.

No warm breeze. No Kagome. No anything.

It was just him and Kikyou, wherever the hell they were.

"Inuyasha." She said his name again, in a sweet kinda fairy-tale way. The way she used to say it. It made him pine for her, and Kagome, was left out of his mind for now.

Kagome was left in such a state of shock from what Kikyou had said to her that she was afraid to say anything to Inuyasha. She was just about to the point of fearing Inuyasha himself.

Kagome watched in horror as the man she thought she knew, but still loved him despite anything, anyone said or did, stood there not ten feet in front of her, loving someone else who did not love him back.

This was the most pain she had ever experienced, through even all of her demon-fighting days.

No, she couldn't sit idly by. She had to help him!

"The jewel, this shikon-no-tama..." she said smoothly. "It is finished and everything is done. What now do you intend to do with it?"

Kikyou reached into her priestess robes and pulled it apart so her sleeves slid down her shoulders to her elbows and revealed almost all of of her chest.

Inuyasha stood there shocked, his eyes wide.

"K-Kikyou- what are you-" He began slightly panicked. His eyes drifted down to the full shikon-no tama that hung so seductively around her neck and his words just didn't finish coming out.
