Hey guys! My first inuyasha fic! YAY!! So here is the (rather long) prologue. R&R! I DO NOT OWN INUYASHA!!!!!

“Inuyasha!” I called out at the inu hanyou. He’s was behaving oddly.

“What is it wench?” He called back, acting indifferently, but his eyes held turmoil.

“Your acting weird, is their anything wrong?” I asked tensely. The hanyou scoffed.

“I think you’re imagining thinks wench! Come on, we gotta go, Sango and that damn monk are waiting.” He said arrogantly, but he wouldn’t look me in the eye. Something was wrong.

“SIT BOY!” I called out, and Inuyasha was forced down by the cursed beads.

“WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR, BITCH?!” he yelled at me.

“I’m not stupid Inuyasha! I know there is something up; you won’t even look me in the eye!” I yelled, and for once, Inuyasha said nothing.

“It has to do with Kikyo, doesn’t it?” I whispered. I knew Inuyasha still loved her, but I also knew that Kikyo wasn’t as she was when she was alive. The clay priestess was evil, a probable side effect of her unnatural resurrection. She had no intention of doing anything but dragging Inuyasha to hell with her, everyone knew it.

“She wants to help collect the jewel shards with us.” He said quietly. He was lying, I could see it.

“She had her chance, and she gave it to Naraku when she gave the Jewel shards to him. What does Kikyo really want Inuyasha?” I said, feeling like there was a piece of lead in my stomach. The hanyou looked at me with his amber eyes, and I knew I wouldn’t be able to stay with him.

“She wants to take the place of me, the replacement, doesn’t she?” I whispered, looking into the chaos of Inuyaha’s eyes. “She wants to get rid of the copy, the jewel detector.” I answered my voice getting louder. “She wants to journey with you, but not with me there, doesn’t she Inuyasha?”

“Kagome...” he started to say. I couldn’t let him go on; I didn’t want to hear him say it.

“NO!” I yelled. “No matter how many times she betrays you, will you always follow her?! Why is it that she can do no wrong to you, Inuyasha?! Why can’t you see that she’s lying to you?!”

“Shut up! You don’t understand anything! Kikyo would never lie to me, bitch! I trust Kikyo, I’m the reason she died! I won’t abandon her-”

“Like she abandoned you?!” I interrupted with rage. “Everyone sees it but you Inuyasha! Everyone knows she’s using you, and you refuse to see it!” Tears were cascading down my face. “How long will you let her play you like a fool? How long do you think she’ll let you live? How long till she throws you away like the toy she treats you as? Tell me Inuyasha, how long?!” I yelled. His furious eyes burrowed into mine.

“What are you afraid of Kagome?! Are you afraid of Kikyo, or are you afraid of what she represents?” He hissed at me. My blood ran cold, and I paled. He had crossed the line that no one ever crossed, the line everyone agreed was too far. As soon as he had processed what he said, his ears drooped.

“Kagome, I didn’t mean it, I was-” I cut him off.

“I see,” I whispered in a calm voice. “If that is how you feel Inuyasha, then you needn’t worry about me anymore.” I walked away, and as I walked away, I felt him trying to follow me.

“Sit, Inuyasha, sit, sit, sit, sit, SIT!” I chanted as I ran. That stopped him, as I jumped back into the well. As I traveled to my time, I suddenly stopped. Looking around, all I saw was darkness. There was no opening like the well had. Only darkness, and it seemed to go on forever.

“Momma! Ji-chan! Souta!” I called out. Nothing, not even an echo was heard. It was like the darkness had swallowed up my call.

“Inuyasha…” I whispered into the darkness. I was alone, totally and completely alone.

“Well, look what we have here, a little human. Tell me Kaoru, how long has it been since there was a human stuck in the well?” I whipped around to see two demons, one with blue scales and the other with great, black wings.

“I don’t know, Katsa, at least a couple hundred millennia, a long time to go without a snack.” The black winged demon mused.

“I agree, dear Kaoru, way to long to go without a snack, but even longer to go without a toy. Shall we ‘play’ with her a bit?” The scaled creature smirked at me, revealing a plethora of sharp teeth. I looked around me, only to see darkness once more. Nothing that could help me. I was stuck, inside the darkness, with two hungry and probably ‘frisky’ demons, and I had no weapons. I did the only thing I could think of.

“INUYASHA!!!!!!” I screamed into the darkness. The two demons smiled at me.

“Oh look, she seems to be calling for her lover. So precious! Tell me doll, who is this Inuyasha, hmmm?” The snake questioned as he restrained me from moving. I kept on screaming.

“Inuyasha! Inuyasha! Inuyasha!” I called pitifully.

“Inuyasha!” The two demons mocked.

“It seems your little Inuyasha isn’t coming doll, guess we’ll have to do instead.” The winged demon sneered. I kicked the snake demon holding me down and ran into the darkness.

“Oh, I like this girl, she has fire! Too bad we’ll have to kill her!” I hear come from behind me.

“Come back dearest, we just want to play!” I cried out as claws ripped through my clothes and skin. I fell to the ground, and stared in horror as the winged demon licked his fingers, which were coated with my blood.

“Hmm, Doll, you do taste good.” He smiled. I cried out in terror as suddenly half of his head slid off.

“I think that’s enough.” A velvety deep voice said from behind snake demon.

“Who the hell are you? This is our prey, you bastard! How dare you kill Kaoru!” The snake cried out. Without hesitation my savior (for the moment) slashed through the Snake demon with his claws. I cowered as said savoir walked towards me.

“Here,” he said gruffly and handed me a kimono. I looked at him in confusion, then realized the badly tattered and bloody state my uniform was in.

“Th-thank you.” I said shakily as I put on the kimono, while slipping off my uniform under the kimono.

“Who are you?” The demon asked. Apparently he wasn’t one to dance around the issue.

“K-Kagome, My name is Kagome.” I replied. I still wasn’t fully sure he was on my side.

“I am Inutaishou, and you should not be here. Why are you here?” My mind stopped working when he told me his name. He was Inuyasha’s father.

“Inuyasha…” I whispered. The demon stiffened.

“How do you know that name?” He asked me tensely. I looked at him with confusion.

“But, you’re…you’re dead! Inuyasha and Seshomaru both said that! I can’t be dead, I was just going into the well! I-” Inutaisho cut me off.

“Do you know my sons?” He asked me with burning eyes.

“Yes,” I whispered. “I traveled with Inuyasha once, but I was cast away for Kikyo.” I sadly replied. Yet again the inu demon became tense.

“Girl, the dead priestess, Kikyo, you mean she is outside the well?” Inutaisho asked with urgency. I nodded dumbly. The great demon growled, then stopped and sniffed the air. With an odd expression, he looked at me.

“You are a miko, aren’t you?” he asked. I nodded yet again, and he started walking away.

“Are you coming or what?” he yelled behind himself, and with shaky legs, I followed him into the darkness.
