You MONGREL! Itie! That did it. Kagome ran out of the door into the cold winter rain. Inuyasha ran after her. All we could hear over the thunderstorm was part of their arguments that we thought he would drag her back…
Damnnit… Lighting flickers and sonic crash spread though the village … stupid… Kikyo…t-that… ojo… All of us could just watch out the door, rain pouring heavily. We all could only catch part of their shouting between the thunders. I never felt so uneasy like this before. Not even when we fought against the spider-head. Or the Thunder Brothers. Sango held me in her lap, I don’t know if it’s me that shaking so hard or it’s her. It had been four years since we had been searching for the shards. We went though lots and nothing scares me more than this. As for the shards, Naraku has the last remaining shards. The last part, the scariest part we had not heard in the longest time.
Ouswariiii!
That was it. Nothing more except for the rain beating on the roof. I thought she removed the spell from him long ago. Kaede whispered as she poked the low burning fire.
I turned to her and frowned, What do you mean? Didn’t you noticed, they had been arguing less within the last year since after Kagome was kidnapped.
Oh… I turned my attention to the door waiting for her to come though. We all did until rain turned into snow though the night. She never did came, neither Inuyasha too.

How long had I been running? I must have run so long, my legs hurts, my head is pounding. Kagome looked around her and found she had stumbled on the other side of the Inuyasha’s Forest somewhere. Her jeans were ripped to rags; her sailor shirt clung to her skin, soaking wet and dirty. She couldn’t remember how many times she had tripped and fell and yet kept on going. Oh, it’s too late to go back, I am lost and cold out in the middle of Sengku Jidai and the blizzard without warm clothes. More or less, defendless…
She wrapped her arms around herself, hugging and quietly crying as she walked ahead aimlessly. Her head’s pounding started to ease into numbness, her eyes ran dry and she dragged her legs on though the now knee high snow. Morning was starting to peak over the far horizon behind her, yet the surrounding remained dark due to the low thick clouds that blanketed the entire sky. She never noticed how long she had been gone; her mind was full of jumbles and anger. Slowly, guilt and sorrow started to steep in.
The jewel was all he wanted… I am just a copy of Kikyo, the one who he love… a shard dictator… what is it worth for me…
She could feel her spirit dimming and easing away from her. She didn’t struggled to hold on like she once did when the ogress resurrected Kikyo. Emptiness felt comforting to her now and she wanted to embrace it more than ever now. The pain of coldness never got to her. Who? Turning to see what tingled the remaining part of herself. Though the haze of the white whipping wind, she saw a dark figure. A demon… No fear or hope ever came to her, she shrugged emotionally and turned back to go on, dragging her legs.
