Hey guys. Hehe, new fic. Hope you enjoy the very first chapter of 'What Was Once Yours'. Remember people, this is a SesshKagInu fic. So, you'll see a combination of the possible pairings. No Yaoi of course! Anyway, here it is.

Chapter 1: Break My Heart, Break Our Bond

Kagome sat in Kaede's hut. It would only be a couple of hours before they set out again. Right now, they could relax.

Miroku was off somewhere flirting with village women, and Sango had gone to hit him for each one. Shippo had found a new girl to play with, and Kaede was off helping with a birth.

Only her and Inuyasha were left in the hut. She felt kind of giddy, being alone with him. Inuyasha was hardly paying her any mind, though. He was sitting Indian-style with Tetsuiga cradled in his arms and his eyes closed.

She often wondered what the hell Inuyasha thought about, while he was like that.

Kagome cleared her throat. Inuyasha didn't move in the slightest.

Kagome did louder and more obnoxious and he opened one eye.

God, she loved his eyes. That amber color and that twinkle of mischief that was always there.

"Inuyasha?"

"What?" He said, irritably.

"I, uh, wanna, know what you were thinking. Im just that bored." Kagome said. Smooth Kagome, real smooth. NOT.

Inuyasha cocked a brow. "What Im thinking? None of your business."

Kagome frowned. "Oh come on! You're always so secretive!"

Inuyasha growled. "And for a reason."

Kagome got up and walked on his side of the room. "Inuyasha, at least talk to me. Come on, Im bored." She said, kneeling in front of him.

Kagome didn't happen to notice that Inuyasha just turned a different color. A bright color. A bright red color.

"I dont feel like talking wench." He said, trying to stare away from her. He couldn't take his eyes off her face, though. Kagome had a rare kind of beauty. Maybe it was because she was from the future, but then again, maybe she was just really, really, attractive.

At those current thoughts Inuyasha turned deep red. Kagome didn't seem to notice.

"Hey! Did you go deaf or something?" She said, reaching out to give him a small shove.

Surprising for her, Inuyasha grabbed her arm before she could. Kagome gasped. What the hell was he doing?

Inuyasha kept a tight grip on Kagome's arm. He didn't know what possessed him to suddenly grab her. But he didn't wanna let go.

Kagome turned red now. "Inuyasha, what is it? W-why are you staring at me like that?"

Inuyasha didn't say anything. He just stared at her. Inside his mind, he was comparing. The exact pros and cons of her and Kikyou. Kagome always had more color to her face than Kikyou. Kikyou was always pale. Kikyou made him feel peaceful after a meeting of theirs. Kagome tended to cry a lot, but he actually liked that about her.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome yelled, waving her other hand in his face.

Inuyasha knew Kagome wanted him to let her go. But he couldn't. Not yet. He just wanted to be able to touch her for a little while longer.

Kagome was confused. Inuyasha just kept staring at her with a strange look in his eye. Was he remembering Kikyo like he was that one time before she came back to life? Kagome felt a pang at that possibility. He wasn't. Was he?

Inuyasha noticed how Kagome's eyes suddenly took on a sad hue. A much darker brown.

"Hey everybody, we're back!" Sango yelled, walking in the hut. Inuyasha instantly let go of Kagome's arm and somewhat pushed her away from him. A good ten feet away.

Miroku came in and so did Shippo. Miroku had on one of his trademark smiles. "So, what did you guys do for the past three hours?" (They weren't staring at each other for three hours, that's the whole number of hours they were left alone in general.)

"Nothing." Kagome said, flatly. Inuyasha took a side glance at her and she was just staring straight ahead.

Sango shrugged. "So, when do we head out?"

"Tomorrow." Inuyasha grunted.

Kagome raised a brow. "Tomorrow? I thought we were going tod-

"We're going tomorrow!" Inuyasha cut her off, before going silent again.

Everyone stared at him strangely for a moment before resuming what they were doing. Which was pretty much nothing. Yup, nothing.

Miroku coughed. "This is quite awkward."

Everyone nodded.

"Well, where do you think Naraku is?" Sango asked, as a pathetic attempt at conversation.

"Probably in that same old dirty castle he's always in. Wonder if he makes Kagura clean it." Kagome said, aloud.

Everyone looked at her strangely. "Heh heh, nevermind." She said.

Soon enough, Kaede came in and started to make soup. "So, when do you young ones leave?"

"Tomorrow." Kagome said.

Kaede nodded. "Well, you'd best rest before then, you have a long journey ahead of you."

They all nodded.

"Kaede, how many shards of the jewel do you think there are?" Shippo asked.

Kaede laughed. "There's about as many shards as there is lives. Ye all have a long way to go."

They all nodded.

The group talked and what not, until it was night. Damn, Im lazy.

Anyway, it was night.

"Well, we should all go to bed. We've got a long day with no breaks ahead of us." Miroku said. Everybody nodded and got into sleeping positions.

It had to be like 3 am. Kagome didn't care though. She woke up and found that Inuyasha was missing. Naturally she's worried, so she sets out to look for him. So, that's where that brings us now.

Kagome walked through the village out into the forest. Maybe Inuyasha was sleeping in the Goshinboku tonight. It wouldn't matter to her, as long as she knew he was alright.

She continued to walk until she reached the area of the forest where she was only a good twenty feet away from the Goshinboku.

She could see it's tall branches in sight. Her hope of finding Inuyasha stronger, she starts to run.

She runs, until, knowing Kagome, she eventually trips. But, lucky for her, she slides to a stop, painfully might I add, a good ten feet away from the Goshinboku, where she can see the show of a lifetime.

Kikyou is facing Inuyasha and is standing right in front of Inuyasha. She takes no notice to Kagome. She's not even the slightest bit aware that she's there.

"Kikyou, what did you come here for?" Inuyasha asks.

Kikyou shows no emotion whatsoever while she speaks. "Inuyasha, why do you still travel with Kagome?" (Kikyou's a little less evil and a little more respectable in this story.)

"Cause, she can detect the jewel shards."

Kagome frowned behind a nearby tree. That's all he ever thought of her as? A jewel detector?

"Inuyasha, do you love her?"

"Huh?"

"I said, do you love her?"

"K-Kikyou, I love you. O-o-only you." He said, stepping forward and embracing her.

Kagome's heart clenched in pain.

"Inuyasha, you seem unsure. Do you really love me?" Kikyou asked.

"Of course! I-I wouldn't lie to you." Inuyasha said, before his lips met her cold and clay ones. Yay, clay. Just kidding.

Kagome had seen enough. She turned around and chocked back a sob, then she slowly started to walk back towards the village area, quietly.

As she walked she thought about something. What if her friends were sick of her and Inuyasha's same old arguments over Kikyou? What if they wouldn't even bother with their sympathy this time? What if they just stopped caring?

She wouldn't risk them saying it, that was for sure. She made her way down another path separate from the village path. She started to jog. Then she started to run. Really fast.

She'd run all night, if she had to. She'd do Anything to run away from Kikyou. Anything to run away from her friends, anything to run away from Inuyasha.

Anything to run away from the pain.

Okay, Im sorry for the retardedly short first chapter. But, give me a break. Not too much to work with in the first chapter. Well, review. Also, keep a lookout for the next chapter of 'What Was Once Yours' Entitled: A Lone Girl And A Confession Made.

Question of the day: What would you do to get away from that kind of pain?

With that said, Sayonara!
