Chapter 1 - Loosing best friends

 

Kagome is 18 here

 

XXXXX

Tears were flowing down her cheeks as she ran through the forest. Branches were cutting her flawless white skin, ripping her school uniform apart. She felt like she had been running for hours. Too exhausted to move any further, Kagome stumbled to a halt. Spotting a little cavern she walked over and crawled into the dark hole. The sun was setting when she made herself a little comfortable on the moist and dirty ground.

 

`Why? What have I done to deserve this? I gave them two years of my life. I can't believe they replaced me with her… am I that insignificant? And I can't even go home anymore. I am all alone, again.'

 

When had it all started? Yes… She remembered now…

 

 

The whole group had gathered around the campfire near Kaede's hut. The sun was still high in the sky and wind blew over the fields. Kagome took a look around the group. Kikyo sat together with Inuyasha opposite to herself while Miroku and Sango sat together on her left with Shippo and Kirara on her right. She felt left out. This alien feeling of loneliness had first wormed its way in when Naraku made the wish to become a full demon through means of the Shikon no Tama.

 

Although no one dared to say anything, she knew that they blamed her. Two weeks ago the group ran into one of Narakus traps. After an exhausting battle with the vile creature Sango, Miroku, Inuyasha and Shippo where surrounded by poisoness fog and Kirara was out cold. Kagome had two options. One: Fetching the arrow and bow on her right side or two:Catching the shikon jewel that had been kicked out of her hands. Coming to a desicion she grabbed the bow and arrow and shot. “Noo, get the fucking jewel!” screamed Inuyasha but if she hadn't fired that arrow, then her friends would now be dead and the precious jewel in her hands. Yet she had decided to do otherwise and saved all of their lives. Naraku just smiled and vanished with the jewel in his hands. Though even after that, Inuyasha brought Kikyo back into the group saying that she was stronger than Kagome and not so complicated to deal with. Since then, the two weeks that had passed had been sheer hell for Kagome. Not only had they all given her glares that made her feel completely worthless, Kikyo and Inuyasha were together all the time. It wasn't like she loved Inuyasha, but it still hurt.

 

They sat there in uncomfortable silence what seemed like hours. The wind blew stronger this time letting the fire dance around wildly. Staring into the fire Kagome tried to ignore the stares they were giving her. She sighed again. Inuyasha was the first who broke the silence.

 

“You have to go.” he spoke, the chill in his voice making her cringe.

 

“Please, Kagome, understand that you don't belong here anymore. You have to go back to your time, establish a family, and be happy!” responded Sango with a warm expression on her face. Turning her face back to the fire Kagome asked quietly, tears threatening to fall: “Is this what you really want, that I never come back again?”

 

Inuyasha added, “It is your fault that the fucking bastard is nearly impossible to destroy. We no longer need your miko abilities. Kikyo is quite good enough and she is your incarnation while you're just some stupid copy!” Kagome looked up into his cold eyes. They showed her clearly that he blamed her for everything. A single tear slid down her cheek as she looked at faces of her comrades only to discover that they all felt the same way.

 

“Oh, quit your crying, wench, it isn't going to change anything. Just do us the favor and go home where you belong,” came Inuyasha's cold words.

 

Holding back a sob, she stood up and said calmly, “If that is what you guys want then I am going. Sorry that you were more precious to me than that stupid jewe.” Looking a last time at the faces of her comrades, she strapped on her yellow backpack. “Bye, everyone, I will miss you,” and with that she turned around and walked towards the magical well.

 

“Do you think she will be alright?” asked Miroku, but he was only greeted with Inuyasha's “Keh” and the hurt look of his friends. Sighing he turned his head and looked up the stars wondering what would happen next.

 

After Kagome was sure that they couldn't see her anymore she broke into a run. Tears streamed down her face endlessly. `How can they be so cruel after all these years?' The thought ran through her head over and over again until she reached the well.

 

“Noooo, what happend to the well?” yelled Kagome while she stared at the ruins of her only way to get back into her time.

 

'No…' Kagome's thoughts screamed. She sank onto her knees and stared at the ruins with unbelief. She closed her eyes and let the tears flow. `Mama, Souta, Grandpa, I am so sorry but I wont be able to see you again!' She jumped up and started running towards the forest. Not aware of her surroundings her backpack fell into one of the bushes. Not one time she glanzed back at the ruins of the well.

 

Too tired to think anymore, she closed her eyes only to fall into a nightmare-filled sleep.

 

“NOOO..agh!” Kagome screamed and bolted upright into a sitting position. The first rays of light were falling into the cave. `What a nightmare!' she thought and crawled out on all fours. Gasping at the person infront of her, she

backed away fearfully. There meters before her stood Naraku in all his glory. He laughed at her threateningly before he encirceld her neck with his hand.

 

“So have they abandoned you, little miko. What a shame, you are such a lovely woman” he said mockingly while Kagome struggled for air. "I could kill you but I think I can use you for some... exercise,” he told her calmly while licking her neck. He pulled his hand away and caught her falling form around her waist. Still shocked from his actions Kagome kept still in his grasp. “Yes, you will be put with the dog, I wonder if he likes little humans as I do. Haha!”

 

Now understanding what he was saying Kagome struggled to get away from him. "Now don't get impatient my dear!”

 

“No let me go!” she yelled and spat in his face. Grimacing at her, he hit her on the back of

her head hard enough to knock her out. Looking at the now unconscious miko in his arms, he took off into the sky towards his lair.

 

 

“Ouch...my head,” Kagome spoke out loud while trying to get up. Gasping, she noticed that the only thing that shielded her from the cold air was a white silken sheet that was not big enough to cover her whole body. Pulling the sheet tighter, she noticed that she was in some kind of a prison cell.

 

`Oh no Naraku! He has imprisoned me! How am I going to survive this?' she thought desperately.

 

Shifting some, a growl snapped her out of her thoughts.

 

Turning her head around slowly, Kagome jumped away. There in the corner of her cell lay a white-clothed figure with a fluffy two tailed cape around its shoulders.

 

`It's a demon. He has silver hair, but it's not Sesshomaru…'

 

Kagome walked slowly towards the creature. When she was finally able to see who lay there in the dirt, she nearly blacked out. The Inu no Taisho, Inuyasha's father, lay there, seemingly unconscious with blood dripping from his chest.
