CHAPTER ONE:"bring,bring,bring", the noise broke my foggy sleep. I tried to ignore the agrivating sound not sure of what it was. It seemed to be growing closer and closer, fear rose in my chest in a large lump that seemed to block my asophagus(throat?) and it was hard to draw
in air. Was this noise from some sort of demon was it coming for me! "run" i said silently"its coming" the demon grew louder and more enraged till it was directly in my ear.
"INUYASHA" my scream woke me "huh". My alarm clock was ringing right in my ear i struck it once, fighting the impulse to chunk it
out the window of my room. After the paining beeping stopped i began to collect my thoughts. "UHHGGG, its MONDAY" i said flopping back down into my soft bed. I looked at my clock, i had a good hour to get ready. I'd had another one of those terrible dreams. The kind that leave you breathing heavy in cool pools of sweat. Not to mention leaving you exhausted even after a good eight hours of sleep. I dreamed about inuyasha often. It had been nearly three years since i had seen his smoldering amber eyes, felt them burning into mine. I slowly closed my eyes to try and picture his face. I had trouble remembering it. The image in my mind looked like a horrible cable signal on a 1970's television. I longed to see inuyasha again but i knew far to well it was impossible. I had given that up long ago. I wondered how inuyasha had changed since we were seperated. What had become of the sacred jewel. I had left it in kikyo's care. Our rivalry had been solved because kikyo was dead and i could never return so we both lost in the end. I still remembered the old days. Mine and kikyo's pull on inuyasha must have been awful. I hadent ever stopped to think what it was doing to him. Breaking him down, tearing him into nothing. Had inuyasha lost in the end too. Inuyasha had lost me and kikyo and i began to worry about him. I hoped he was okay. Inuyasha had never made it clear, i wondered if he had became a demon or a human. I love him the way he is.or was, if he had changed i wondered how i would adjust to it. I looked around my room then my eyes fell to my clock "YIKES" i had only 23 minutes to get ready for hell, AKA:school. That made me wonder if inuyasha had returned to hell with kikyo after all. He would be easy enough to convince. I took a hot shower but inuyasha kept tugging on my mind, he never left it and what was so funny was that i had never been able to date since our seperation. I got out of the shower and looked myself over pleased. I had changed alot. I had now shed my child like features and had began to take on the shape of a woman. A perfect hour glass shape, jolting hips and a large chest. my face had matured a bit to, now more slinder and my eyes began to take on a understanding and eerie complection, gradualy i was begining to look more like kikyo. I dressed into my usual school outfit my skirt, a bit shorter now. After i had gotten ready i lifted my massive yellow book bag onto my shoulders and began my day. The walk to school was lonely very lonely. Auburn leaves danced to the sidewalk. They're last moments of glory. The trees were slinder and nearly bare. Another winter without inuyasha i thought solemly. "kagome" a high pitched voice rang out, my best friend yura. " err, hi how ya doin" i asked awkwardly sad to leave my thoughts, that was the only place and time i ever spent with inuyasha, well his memory. "hey whats wrong kagome chan, you look so sad". yura asked cautiously probing my expression growing tense. "nothing" i answered in that "okay thats all your gettin out of me tone". We walked in silence most of the way and i was happy to return to my thoughts of inuyasha."kagome chan, forgve me for noticing but ever since you and that guy ummmm, inausha or what ever broke up a couple of springs ago you havent been the same" yura blurted then her expression changed dramaticly as if saying oops why did i ask "and im supposed to be the same" i answered "matter of factly". "i dont know i mean its just a guy and what about hojo he has been after you for quite a while, you should go out with him i mean you need someone". yura turned away and continued walking along beside me. I knew it was going to be a long day.

I returned home as quickly as i could. School had passed so slowly and my lessons were interupted with inuyasha. The memories were much more persistant now that ever. I finally rached my driveway walking briskly atop the shifting gravel. I walked to the back of the yard lined with small buildings and shrines. I approached the sacred tree. INUYASHA, where are you. I ran my slinder fingers up the smooth bark up to the small knot-like place in the near center of the trunk and rubbed my finger softly on the rigid edge. I placed my hand flat on the tree and walked over to the shrine of the bone eaters well. It was dark and musty inside. I hadent been in here since i left inuyasha. What had drawn me to it now? I stalked toward toward the dark opening of the well and stumbled on a smooth, slinder object. "kyah" i came crashing to the ground, my chin coming in sharp cantact with the object. I winced and closed my eyes tight when i opened them i tried to focus on the object. it was thin and black. I rose carefully to my knees still feeling a little dizzy and grasped the object in my hand and held it up to my face. A energy seemed to be running through it. I examined the object. It was a sheath, the tetsiaga's sheath. "how did you get here" i asked the unconsious object exspecting an answer.
I tilted it slightly and heard another object shift inside and then out it fell into the mouth of the well. I blinked twice dramaticly and placed my hands firmly on the edge of the well and used the leverage to push myself into the darkness. As soon as i had left the security of the shrine i felt my knees come in contact to the dusty earth at the bottom of the well. A large cloud of the chalky dirt rose causing me to sneeze. I began shuffling my hands briskly around the bottom of the well. What exactly was i looking for. A piercing pink light evaded my thoughts directing frome the far left corner of the well cloaked in cobwebs. I slowly realized that the blinding glow was coming from a sacred jewel shard i couldent forget that aura. I still possesed the miko powers i wondered. I shook my head abruptly and eased toward the glow. My palm caressed it tightly so it wouldent disappear. A dark evading fog enveloped my mind and i felt my body hit the ground.
