Anime: Inuyasha

Genre: Horror

Summary: "Who do you think you are?" she cried. "Do you think you're a god?" He smirked at her, his sensuous lips curving up into a dark smile. "Kagome," he replied, his voice cold. "I AM God."

She ran away. Again. It seemed as if that was all she ever did anymore. But he made it so hard for her to stay near him though she had promised him from the beginning that she would never leave him. She pushed through the underbrush, thorns, and low-hanging tree limbs to escape from the reality that she would never be more than a jewel detector to him. He had chosen Kikyo, of that she was sure. And this time, she was more than certain; he would not come after her.

With a hollow heart she came to a river and knelt by the cool running water. She splashed her tear stained face with the crisp life-giving liquid to wash away her tears. Her dark hair curtained her face, her pale skin covered by red welts from the contact with the trees and thorns that she had encountered on her run. Pain filled her heart. His betrayal was nothing new but why did it have to hurt so bad every time? She stumbled to her feet when she heard footsteps come from behind her. She whirled around, hands clenched into fists as she prepared to deal with Inuyasha. To her horror, she found herself confronting not Inuyasha but her enemy, the devil in human form; confronting Naraku.

Her first instinct was to run but she somehow knew that running would get her nowhere. She reached behind to grab an arrow from the quiver on her back and mentally cursed when she realized she had left all her belongings back at camp. Naraku slowly smirked and took a step towards her.

"Stay back!" she ordered him and forced her voice not to tremble. Before she could summon any amount of miko power he was before her, dark tendrils caressing her face in a sinful touch. She felt her stomach clench with revulsion upon his touch. His cold hands were upon her and everything became black. She submitted to the sweet darkness and everything became still. She rushed into oblivion and prayed never to return from the safety of the abyss ever again.

Finally. He had stolen Inuyasha's most precious tool-the key to detecting the jewel shards. He gazed down at the beautiful girl he held in his arms and smirked. It would take very little effort on his part to turn her against Inuyasha. The hanyou had already done that for him. All Naraku would need to do was use a little persuasion and if that didn't work he would have to resort to further trickery. But somehow he knew taking over her mind would be simple, capturing her soul and keeping it for himself would be a treasure; his little helpless, flightless bird would be at his mercy. And he would enjoy every minute of it.
