Azure eyes stared into the dancing flames of the roaring fire in front of them, sadness and confusion dancing along with the giddy flames. Silky trails of moisture lingered on her dirt smudged face. She could still hear the dull thud of her shoes on the hard dirt of the forest floor; still remember each achingly sad thought that had crept into the darkness of her once clear mind. A small choked sob escaped her slender throat, her chin wrinkling as another wave of sadness enveloped her now shaking being. Everything had happened so quickly it almost seemed like a fleeting dream, but it wasn't, she was here now in front of a swaying fire. She was here sitting on the unforgiving ground heading towards the home of an enemy. The only rational thought that had entered her jumbled mind was `Why?'. Why had she been sent into an even more ruthless time period where blood thirsty youkai roamed the landscape, where she had lost...lost all of her companions, lost her…her family? Swiveling her swirling eyes down to her intertwined fingers she slowly dragged her lower lip into the warm chasm of her mouth, worrying it with her pearly teeth.

`What do I do now, what happens if Sesshoumaru won't allow me into his home or what if he wont even listen to my story. Where do I go now that I don't have a home to go to?' Kagome thought, her already sad thoughts making a turn in the wrong direction.

Another heart-wrenching sob clawed its way from her throat growling and roaring to be known. Liquid sorrow trickled from her blue depths, emotion after emotion gathering until she could hold it in no longer. The thin thread holding back the roaring emotions demanding to be set free broke with a resounding snap in the mind of the kindhearted miko. Viciously tossing her head towards the heavens Kagome let one word escape from her mouth, one word that held so many meanings and left many questions unanswered.

“WHYY??!!” The heartbroken cry echoed throughout the forest, each raised pitch of her voice, every single emotion carried away by the chilly hands of the breeze. The air leaked from her lungs like water through a broken water balloon. Breathless, Kagome stared all the gods she could think of in the eyes, her own shining with grief, and let more shimmering tears trail down her snowy cheeks.

Sugimi-sama walked coolly back to his estate in the western lands. He was patrolling his vast lands for threats, he need not have some lower class youkai prance upon his property and claim he could defeat the great Inu no Taisho. An elegant snort escaped a perfectly pointed nose.

`That is not nor will it ever be possible.' He thought with a chuckle, his full pale lips curling into a small smile.

Shimmering golden eyes glanced around the vast expanse of trees looking for the slightest twitch of a branch upon a lush bush or the shiver of a leaf upon the proud arm of a tree. Not many a demon were foolish enough to openly challenge the strongest
Daiyoukai alive. His glittering golden depths found nothing but shadows lingering within the darkened forest. Slightly lifting his silver head he put his nose to the breeze, testing the air. Scent after scent hit his nose, the refreshing scent of running water and the sweet earthy scent of the trees and bushes. But, one scent in particular made his eyes widen, only slightly mind you.

`Roses and spring rain, how very tantalizing.' He thought with a sparkle in his eyes. Only a female could carry such an alluring scent. But, as he took another “sniff” of the sweet scent he noticed the strong aroma of grief, of sadness.

`What could possibly be troubling the female?' he thought with confusion.

Before the almighty lord could think of an answer a voice laced heavily with loss reached his finely pointed ears. Slipping his light magenta shaded eyelids closed he listened intently for the word carried by the whispering breeze, why.

`Why?' Dark black eyebrows creased in confusion at the word, what had made such a musical voice so sad, so heavy with sorrow? His sun kissed eyes narrowed in thought, what was he to do? Should he stop patrolling his lands, stop carrying out such a very important task and go to this heartbroken onna? Or should he continue with the duties assigned to him? Coming to a conclusion he straightened his silk clad back, his broad shoulders lifting from their relaxed state and he firmly clenched his jaw, muscles rippling underneath his creamy skin. He was a lord and with that came responsibility, he could not run off to every crying onna in Japan. He would complete his task and when the sun's rays met the lush earth he would go to her.

Nodding his head in an approving manner, some of his silky sliver strands slipping gracefully from his high ponytail to flutter to his chest, he continued to patrol his lands at a brisk pace.

Slowly lowering her shimmering raven head Kagome slowly curled into a ball inside the warmth of her sleeping bag. Letting a long sigh hiss through her supple lips she let her head drop to the pillow below her. Shifting her head up and down on her pillow she fought to find a comfortable place to rest her silky raven head. Finally finding the softest of spots on her abused and worn pillow Kagome let her puffy eyelids slide closed. She had no companions now, no luxuries. She would have to learn to defend herself, not rely on others and most of all she had no comforts now, she was alone. The thought of seeing Sesshoumaru clamed her, enemy or not he was a familiar face and that very thing was the only reason she let the mother-like arms of sleep cradle her through the night.

Magenta striped eyelids drooped by the barest of millimeters but weariness was quite obvious to the owner of the gorgeous lids. Sun kissed eyes dulled with the need for sleep and soon the great Inu no Taisho was searching for a large branch of a tree to rest upon. Daylight would soon kiss the land and he would need to awaken to find the maiden who had plagued his thoughts. Her scent seemed to weave its way in and out of the crevices of his weary mind, her musical yet sorrow filled voice ringing incessantly in his pointed ears. Shaking his head softly he let his glistening eyes glide over tree after tree. With a triumphant smirk he leapt into the waiting arms of a large tree. Getting into a comfortable position on the thick branch of the tree Sugimi let the gentle hiss of the wind through the leaves and the soft swaying of the tree lull him into a light sleep.

Golden sunlight kissed the back of Kagome's eyelids, singing and calling for her to awaken. Groaning Kagome futilely tried to swipe away the bothersome light. She only wanted five more minutes! An exasperated sigh snaked through her full lips and soon she was tugging the warm cloth of her sleeping bag from her small form. A loud yawn rang through the clearing along with pops and cracks as Kagome stretched away the sleep still deep within her bones. Looking dazedly around the small clearing Kagome spotted her bag and lazily dragged her uncooperative feet along the ground to her still untouched worn yellow backpack. Blinking her eyes rapidly to try and get the feeling of sand in her eyes to depart Kagome thought back to the night before.

`Well, I had every right to cry! Anyone else in my position would have!' Kagome thought with a vicious determination, she had to convince herself that she was right!

Digging in her bag for a few brief moments Kagome pulled on a pair of fitting blue jeans that clung to her shapely legs and a white sweatshirt with bell like sleeves that flared when a breath of wind caught them. Stretching one last time Kagome went to a small tinkering stream nearby and filled her canteens to the brim, their mouths unable to hold any more. Screwing them securely shut Kagome trudged slowly back to camp to get her bag and then begin the rest of the tiring trek to the western territories. Only a small nagging voice told her to eat breakfast but she was never able to scarf down food at such an early hour in the day. Rolling her eyes one last time to rid them of sleep Kagome set her weary muscles to work and she was soon tiredly dragging her seemingly lead feet down the not so worn dirt path.

His long silver hair swayed and danced behind his speeding form like the very clouds themselves. His glittering golden eyes trained directly in front of him, his mind never straying from his goal. The shimmering white silk of his hiori sleeves billowed behind him to seemingly merge with his glistening hair only to flap in a different direction once they'd met. He was but an hour from the onna that had run circles in his mind and nothing would stop him from getting to her, she was of importance to him but he did not now why just yet. It did not matter, he would find out very soon.
