Chapter 1: Kagome's heart

Inuyasha is looking straight at me, why? Why doesn't he look away? What is he thinking? We stared into each other's eyes for a while then Inuyasha spoke "Kagome…" but I couldn't talk, I didn't know what to say so I ran, and ran. Feeling tears run down my face but I couldn't stop running I finally got to the well but from reason I didn't want to go home so I dropped my bag next to the well, and left a note attached to the bag saying I had to have some time alone, and there was medicine and food in the bag from them to use. I took off running again afraid that Inuyasha would follow me, I kept running as far and for as long as I could, I ran through the forest it started to rain, I slugged through the dirt that had turned to mud, when I had gotten out of the forest there was no village nor hut to be seen for miles around. "Grahh!" a loud roar echoed and was close by I ran through the clearing, I couldn't sense any jewel shards, so it's probably a normal demon or hopefully just a big animal, I ran and ran up a hill, but when I got to the top there was a huge demon lizard "Oh no…" I went to grab my bow and arrow but it wasn't there, how could I be so stupid to run off without anything to protect myself, I wished I'd just gone home instead "Hmm…" the demon turned around and had spotted me "Hah looks like I have a meal after all, ha ha ha… Come here girl so I can devour you!" the lizard yelled.

Oh great now I'm going to get eaten, I have to get away from him, I turned around to run but tripped and rolled down the hill, scratching and scrapping my body, along the ground, as soon as I stopped rolling I got up and ran, I didn't look to see which way I was going. I can't rely on Inuyasha, he's in love with Kikyo and only wants her, I have to get myself out of this mess, I kept running and running I ran through shrubs, and long grass, as I did it made a few cuts on my legs but I had to keep going "Ahh, I can't keep running for much longer" I muttered under my breathe. Then there was the sound of rushing water nearby I was running in the same direction as the river, so I took a chance and jumped into the river, the river had a strong current and ran fast, I could see some of my blood flow from my body into the water and flow with the fast flowing river. I had got dunked beneath the water and felt something tighten and my waist 'What's that?' I looked down 'Oh no' I was pulled out of the water "I have you now you wrench…. Ha ha you cannot escape now, woman you are better off to give in and rest inside my belly ha ha ha" the lizard chuckled.

"Let me go!" I screamed as I tried to wiggle out of his grasp I lost my jewel shards "Noo!" I screamed "You have sacred jewel shards, there mine now, looks like it was worth picking you for a snack woman, I thank you for the shards but I'm going to have to eat you now" the lizard said as he took the jewel shards in hand. He tightened the grip of his tail around me "Ahhh! Nooo! Stop!" I screamed with all my might, I couldn't move, I shut my eyes, gritted my teeth and pre-pared for the worst. "Hey you bastard leave my woman alone!" suddenly the lizard loosened his grip and I started to fall but someone caught me, "Kagome!..." I opened my eyes slowly and saw Koga standing with me in his arms "Kagome are you ok?" he asked I nodded my head "Yes, I'm ok" I managed to say. Koga placed me down "I'll be back as soon as I kill this demon" Koga said he turned to face the lizard "Wait Koga he took my jewel shards" I said, "How many?" Koga asks still facing the lizard "Two…" I looked at the lizard and saw that he put one in his tail and another in his chest "One in his tail another in his chest" I told Koga "Ok, don't worry it'll be over soon, he won't beat me" Koga said. I watched Koga run off "Be careful Koga!" I yelled as they started to fight, the lizard having sized up twice his original size because the jewel shards, but his tail was what I was worried about "Don't worry Kagome… I'll get this bastard for hurting you, besides there no way I can lose to such a lowlife" Koga replied as he dodged the lizard's attacks.

Koga managed threw a few kicks to the stomach and an uppercut to the face which knocked him over, Koga took the opportunity to take the jewel shard out of his chest, Koga could use the jewel shards since I won't be needed here anymore, it'll also mean Koga will have a chance in defeating Naraku and avenging his comrades. "Koga! Use the jewel shards!" I yelled "Huh…" he puffed as he kicked the lizard in the face and went to his tail and grabbed that one out too, he then took the opportunity to slice the lizard's throat with his claws. The lizard now lay there emotionless, bleeding, Koga ran over to me "Kagome, here your jewel shards" Koga held his hand out showing the two jewel shards but I just shook my head "Koga I want you to have them, you saved my life, hopefully those two jewel shards will help you to avenge your comrades" I said smiling. Koga looked at me his cheeks slightly turning red "Kagome… Thank you" he said "Hmm that reminds me where is Inuyasha? He should be looking out for you" Koga said his face now twisted in anger, I looked down "He… doesn't need me anymore and I think that the best thing right now for myself and Inuyasha, is for me to be far away from him" I could feel tears starting to form again. Koga grabbed my chin lightly so I could face him, "Inuyasha is a fool, he's not worth crying over… But since you won't be travelling with him where will you go now?" Koga asked, I looked down at the ground.

I wanted to go home but I knew I had a duty to collect the pieces of the sacred jewel that I had shattered, now that I have given two shards to Koga, maybe the next time Koga and Inuyasha cross paths… They would fight to the death if I wasn't there and not to mention Kikyo will probably take my place in the group as jewel detector but if it wasn't for me Kikyo wouldn't be alive and the sacred jewel wouldn't be shattered into thousands of pieces and I would never have met Shippo, Miroku, Sango, Kirara and Koga, I owe them all. I looked up at Koga "Koga… May I travel with you?" I asked Koga's face lit up as he smiled "Of course Kagome, I'll take you back to my men and get your wounds treated" Koga replied happily and scooped me up carefully in his arms. "Thank you Koga" I said and weakly smiled back "I'd do anything for you Kagome, just relax and if you need to sleep, you can I'll take care of your wounds, you've been through a lot" Koga said, I nodded Koga is so nice, if only Inuyasha were more like Koga… No I have to stop thinking about Inuyasha he loves Kikyo and Kikyo loves him.

Koga had started running holding me tight in his arms, the feeling of the cool breeze rushing past my face and through my hair made me relaxed and a bit sleepy, my eyes started to close and I nuzzled my head against Koga's chest and fell asleep. I felt light shining in my eyes and slowly sat up, I felt pain shooting through my body "Good morning Kagome" "Morning sis" I turned my head and saw Hakkaku and Ginta sitting nearby "Oh good morning…" I replied with a slight smile and looked around. I'm so far away from the well, but I can't go back not yet for all I know as soon as I get back Inuyasha or Kikyo could seal up the well for good… What am I going to do? "Sis are you ok? You look very upset" Ginta asks "If you're worried about where Koga is his gone to get some food" Hakkaku says with a re-assuring smile. I turned to them both with a smile, "I'll be ok, thanks for letting me know… It's just a lot's happened lately and I'm afraid to go home if I do I might not be able to come back to this era any more…" I replied "Huh? Why?" Hakkaku asks "Well, I have a feeling either Inuyasha or Kikyo will seal the well off completely so I won't be able to come back through" I replied.

They both looked very concerned "Kagome… Good morning I brought you some human food and this is for the rest of us to share" Koga places down a dish of freshly made dumplings down next to me and then had bunch of fish linked together with rope and placed it in between Hakkaku and Ginta then cut a couple off for himself. "Koga, Kagome says that Inuyasha might seal off the well after she goes back through to her time" Ginta tells him "What? Who does he think he is?!" Koga yells "Koga, I just had a feeling and if he doesn't Kikyo most likely will" I said "Who's Kikyo?" Koga asked. I sighed "Kikyo was a powerful Priestess and lived fifty years ago she was Inuyasha's lover, though Naraku hated the thought of them being together and turned them against each other, Kikyo ended up sealing Inuyasha to the sacred tree of ages and he slept there for fifty years until I released him from the tree, Kikyo died from an injury that Naraku gave to her as he disguised himself as Inuyasha, Kikyo asked her younger sister to burn her body and with it the sacred jewel before she died. Though because word passed around that I was Kikyo's reincarnation, a sorceress kidnapped me and Kikyo's ashes and made a clay model of Kikyo, the sorceress tried to transfer my soul into Kikyo's clay body to make her alive again, Kikyo did come to life, I don't know how but I managed to get back most of my soul and now Kikyo lives of the souls of women who have died" I replied. They looked stunned and a bit puzzled "So if Kikyo's alive then would that mean Inuyasha would be trying to be with her" Hakkaku said, I nodded "I came back to this era last night and saw some soul collectors seeing some heading off in the direction of the sacred tree so I decided to follow them but when I got there I saw Inuyasha swearing to be the only man that would be with Kikyo and had already heard Kikyo say that only Inuyasha would ever be with is her… Kikyo took off, and Inuyasha turned around to find me standing there but I didn't want to talk with him but instead of going home I just ran" I replied with a sad look on my face.

"Kagome, as long as I'm around Inuyasha and Kikyo won't get anywhere near you I promise I'll always be there to protect you" Koga said, for some reason Koga made me feel safe I guess he has always been one that kept to his promises and was not one for lying or making things up. A smile crossed my face I looked over at Koga "Thank you Koga" I said, Koga smiled back at me as he cheeks faintly turned red "You don't need to thank me, I'll always be there for you Kagome" Koga replied "But that's exactly why I need to thank you, you've always come to help me even if it means risking your own life…" I said. Koga looked at me with a sparkle in his eyes "Kagome there's no need to be worried about me, I'm honored that you are but to me your life is much more important than mine" Koga said "Koga you're the leader of the eastern wolf demon tribe that qualifies you more valued, your pack needs you… Just promise if I do get into trouble you won't do anything stupid" I replied. Koga smiled "Ok, I promise Kagome" Koga said I smiled back "Thank you" I said, Ginta and Hakkaku were already digging into their food, Koga and I were only just starting, though I couldn't help but feel a little better by being here with Koga and his companions, I was actually feeling better forgetting the troubles I had with Inuyasha though I cherished every moment with him and my friends. I wonder when I'll see them again Sango, Miroku, Shippo and Kirara, I wonder if they even know what's going on they probably figured out that I went home but I never said anything about where I was going maybe Inuyasha has already sealed the well or maybe he caught my scent and is going to find me to take back the jewel shards. After we finished breakfast, Koga wanted to start out looking around the region for more jewel shards and Naraku but I couldn't help but worry what if I never see my family again "Let's move out" Koga said interrupting my thoughts, I grabbed his hand without thinking, we looked at each other both our faces turning red, I let go of his hand and looked down at the ground "Sorry… I was just wondering could we go to the bone-eaters well?" I asked "Of course, we'll all go and if you need to see your family we'll stay by the well until you return" Koga said without hesitation, I looked up at him seeing his cheeks slightly red and a smile on his face "Thank you Koga, I promise not to take too long" I replied.

I lead the way to the bone-eaters well, Koga walked beside me as Ginta and Hakkaku walked behind us, I knew if Inuyasha smelt me near he'd either come to take the jewel shards which I had given to Koga or he'd not bother coming at all. We had come close to the well, I could see Inuyasha looking into the well and I froze, he then turned around and ran off "Kagome?" Koga said I shook my head "I'm fine…" I replied as I held back the tears and kept walking. When we had reached the well I looked into to make such nothing was wrong I turned to face Koga "Are you sure you guys will be fine waiting here?" I asked worried Koga smiled slightly "Yes we'll be fine and I promise to make sure nothing happens to the well" Koga said I smiled "Ok, I'll be back soon then" I said as I leaped into the well. I appeared back at the well in the Higurashi shrine, I climbed out quickly and ran into the house and saw mom in the lounge room with grandpa, I ran straight mom and hugged her crying into her chest "Mom…" I cried "Hey grandpa?... Uh sis" Sota's voice "Kagome what happened?" mom asked as I pulled away and sat down still sobbing. "Inuyasha doesn't need me anymore and I'm afraid he or Kikyo another priestess like me will seal the well off for good while I'm over there… But Koga he saved my life the other night and I want to travel with him, I can't leave without finishing what I started but I'm scared if I go back that I won't get back home again, that I'll never see any of you ever again" I said, mom sat beside me and put her around me "What does your heart tell you Kagome?" mom asked.

I looked down "That I have to finish what I started, I have to go back and gather all the scared jewel shards" I replied sadly with tears running down my face "Then I know you have made the right decision, no matter what you will always be a part of this family you will always be my daughter and I know in my heart if you need to come back home that you'll find a way" mom said I hugged her tight. "I love you mom" I said "I love you too Kagome" I sniffled and let go "I'll just go change and grab some medical supplies and I'll be off… I promised Koga that I wouldn't be long" I said, I walked up the stairs to my bedroom for the last time and went to my room closing the door behind me, I chucked off my school clothes and laid them on my bed. There were so many memories, if I wore my school uniform back there it would be too painful, I went to my draws and took out a navy blue mid-thigh skirt, and a cream/tan coloured skivvy out, and some ballet flat shoes then changed I felt different without the uniform but if it's what I had to do to get Inuyasha of my mind I'd do it. I sighed and brushed my hair then tied it back in a ponytail, I looked over my room for the last time, and checked to see if there was anything I needed but it looked like I had everything. I walked out of my room and closed my door I walked down stairs, I might never see this place or my family again not to mention my school and my friends, I sighed "Kagome I had this made for you and I thought you might like to take it with you something to remember us by…" mom said sadly as she held out a golden locket. "Mom I would never forget you, grandpa or Sota I'll always remember all of you and my home, I love you all so much" I replied trying to hold back my tears, mom walked over to me and put on the locket after she did I opened it up to see a photo of Grandpa, Mom, Sota and I last Christmas the time before I ever set foot in the feudal era.

"Thank you mom" I say as I close the locket and hugged her "It's ok, just know that we will never forget you but if there is a way home…" mom replied her voice started to tremble "If there's a way back I will find it I promise" I said as I looked up at her, mom nodded "I'll get your bag ready for you" mom said and went off to organize some things to put in my bag. I went over to grandpa "Kagome I know that this is your duty to gather the shards of the sacred jewel but be careful, I shall pray for you every day…" grandpa said sadly as I gave him a hug "Thank you, grandpa but please do not over work yourself" I replied, I turned to Sota next "Sis you're really going aren't you?" Sota asked I nodded. "Yes I am Sota but like I told mom I promise if there's a way back I'll find it ok, while I'm gone I need you to help grandpa and mom out" I replied Sota nodded as he struggled to hold back the tears and hugged me tight "I'll miss you Kagome" Sota said "I'll miss you too" I said as we separated. "Kagome your bag is packed, there's a first aid kit, your hair brush, a towel but I didn't know how many friends you'll be traveling with now" mom said as she came over with my back pack "Thanks mom, well I'm traveling with Koga and two of his friends Ginta and Hakkaku… I don't know when I'll see the others again" I replied sadly mom smiled "Well I'll just grab four lunch boxes out so you and your friends can have something to eat when you get back" mom replied. Once mom had finished putting the lunch boxes into my bag, I placed the bag over my shoulders, and Grandpa, Mom and Sota all saw me off to the well "Be safe Kagome…" mom said, they stood at the bottom of the stairs to see me off I looked at them all as tears started to fall. "I love you all and I'll never forget you I promise I will find a way back" I said then jumped into the well before I changed my mind, I was now standing at the bottom of the well in the feudal era, not knowing if I could ever get back tears ran down my face, I tried to wipe them away the tears but they kept coming.
