They were just taking a rest. Barely exhausted from the trip, she leaned against a tree and took her Discman out of her backpack with her favorite music in it. All you could hear was a low hum 'sings to me, let me free ..' and a blank look at the fire. "Kagome! Hey, Kagome! Are you dreaming again?" With one blow, Kagome was ripped out of her song. Sango had waved his hands around wildly in front of her eyes. She smiled happily at her, "Must have come from the trip, I must have nodded off with my eyes open." Was only an answer. "I'm going to freshen up at the river." She said and left her friends who looked after her in astonishment. // Me and my moods again .. It's unbearable. After a little bath, everything will be fine again. // thought Kagome as she walked straight to the wide, crystal clear river. There were scattered dark clouds in the sky. It would probably rain soon. Sooner or later she was going to get wet anyway.So she jumped into the river with all her clothes on.

Standing in a tree unnoticed, InuYasha had watched her. For a while now, Kagome had been acting very strangely. He didn't know what. But just, weird.

Kagome swam with relish in the cool water without noticing InuYasha.
When she felt refreshed and perky enough to join the others, she went to the edge of the river.
A thunder could be heard softly. She loved thunderstorms.
As if struck by lightning, she turned around. Wasn't there a noise up in the tree? Slowly, careful to be calm, she walked back to the river. Her bow and arrow still lay there on the ground. She quickly took it, cocked it with an arrow and aimed at the place where the rustling came from. "Who's there? Come out!" she called into the void. When there was no answer and no reaction, she tightened it even more. Now InuYasha jumped her hands ahead of the tree. "Kagome!Wait! It's just me! "He tried to explain." InuYasha? "Surprised she looked at him as he stood there." What are you doing here? Have you been watching me all the time? "Kagome looked at him, confused, what was he doing here?
"I came because you were acting so strange. I was just worried."
She smiled blankly at him. "Worry? Why worry? I am as always! And now I apologize, I have something to do." InuYasha stood there, not knowing what was happening to him. Wasn't he wrong? But sometimes their looks had been so emotionless, so cold .. Kagome turned and walked briskly along the river. // Great, now my mood is back to zero. When I go back to the others later, he'll hopefully leave me alone. What does he know? Tz // InuYasha could no longer stand rooted to the spot and look after her. What were the lyrics to the song? Here in his era you could only speak Japanese, there were no other languages.What should he do? Determined, he tore himself from his roots and ran after her. He wanted to be with her. "Kagome! Wait!" "Uuuuh! InuYasha! Leave me alone!" she yelled at him. "But, I just wanted to ask what the names of the things you are ......" while he was still talking, she just yelled "MAKE SPACE" and he fell to the ground. “And now be good and go back to the others.” Kagome was serious.
She had no nerve for Inuyasha right now.
Again a thunder sounded and also some raindrops down from the sky.
// It's so rare to find something like this here // she sighed to herself in thought.
She walked slowly on without thinking about InuYasha. Actually, she wasn't thinking of anything or anyone at the moment. In any case, she couldn't place her thoughts. Everything has been getting too much for her lately. At home there had been trouble with her grandpa, he wanted her to go to school again because her grades had dropped terribly.Then there had been a row with InuYasha again, nothing special, basically the same as always, but it was pretty close to her there.
She felt misunderstood by everyone. Even something out of the question. Her happy face had only been put on for the show so that she did not have to be confronted with agonizing questions. Actually, it wasn't like those two things anymore, but in her heart it felt as if they were only superficial reasons, but there was much, much more to it that she didn't know.
She thought of everything and yet nothing. Simply thought-filled and at the same time -less.
Another thunder. Following a lightning bolt. Kagome winced briefly.
In a flash she was pulled into the bushes. Before she could scream, she passed out.

"You can speak the formulas faster and faster." Said a large, dark figure. “I have a very good master.” The other, who held Kagome in his arms, grinned at the big one."Taku, come here!" called the great one into the sky. Suddenly a large eagle-like demon came to the three of them. "Himitsu, move on and get the girl on Taku." "Yes, Gekijo-sama."

Sullen and offended, InuYasha sauntered over to the campfire. // Pha, what is she thinking about it // Sighing, he looked at the sky. A raindrop landed right in his eye. Blinking he called it out. "Oh, InuYasha, you don't have to cry because of the little rain," Chippo laughed. "HaHa, Chippo. Save your jokes for someone else," he said again, scratchy. "What has gone over your liver again?" "A small, annoying fox demon" he replied with a look at which Chippo crawled behind Sango. "Well, InuYasha. Don't be so mean to him," said Mirokue, "Tze." "Where is Kagome? She just wanted to go to the river and then back again." "Wanted to do a few more things, she said." "Hm ... okay.She should just come back soon. Soon it will be dark and then it will be teeming with demons. "" She'll be fine "So this conversation was over.

"Oh, good morning my beauty" came with a grimace that was supposed to represent a smile. Still totally dazed, Kagome tried to ask where she was. She couldn't remember anything that had happened. But no voice came from her mouth. // What .. where am I here? Who are these demons? How did I get here ?! // "hehe .. what is it? Don't you want to greet us?" Kagome's eyes are wide open. No matter who these demons were, they didn't want anything good. "Oh, you are grateful to us to be with us!" Gekijo yelled at her. “Bring her manners to Himitsu!” “With pleasure, master Gekijo-sama.” Himitsu took out the whip. You could clearly hear her cut the air before she landed on Kagome's arms. Kagome pressed his lips and eyes together, contorted with pain. Where can she have ended up in again ?!Another lash hit her. She tried to scream. A low tone was heard. Himitsu and Gekijo stared at Kagome, puzzled. Was there a sound coming from her? “That's enough.” “Yes,” so he bowed deeply and moved to the side. “Should I ...” “Yes.” Himitsu spoke a strange formula so fast that it was difficult to guess what he was talking about. "What's your name?" asked Gekijo. "Kagome." // My voice .. I have it back ?! // "Kagome .. nice name." He grinned grimly again. Kagome's jewel glowed faintly. Gekijo came closer to examine it. "What a pretty gem .. give it to me!" he shouted. Kagome touched the jewel. "The Shiko No Tama .. I want it .. My heart longs for it .." Gekijo said, staring deeply into the glow.

“Where is she?” Mirokue asked himself, who had also spoken out the thoughts of the others. "It's already dark. Come on, let's go find you"

Gekijo was getting closer and closer to Kagome. Instinctively, she grabbed the jewel and jumped up.// If I at least knew where I am here .. // "Leave me alone!" "Hehe .. But but ?! What do you have? Give it to me .. Then nothing will happen to you." With force tore Gekijo the jewel of Kagome's neck. Now it was in his possession ... his heart's desire. He looked at it greedily as he held it in his hands. Kagome paused. She didn't dare to imagine what would happen if he used the jewel. With the powers he already has, and then reinforced with the jewel. Screaming she ran to Gekijo to snatch it from him, but Himitsu got in her way and held her. "No .." could be heard softly from Kagome, who fell to her knees. Nobody would find them here. She didn't even know where she was herself. Then where should the others know? It was maddening. From one crisis to the next.
Gekijo was still looking at the jewel undisturbed. Until he could look away and laugh shyly.

Still thoughtful, InuYasha stared into the flames as he rose too.// I just don't understand her .. what's going on in her head? Damn it!! What is she thinking ?! //
Sango, Mirokue, Kiara, Chippo and InuYasha decided to split up so that they can find Kagome more quickly. Sango with Mirokue, Chippo with Kiara and InuYasha alone.

"Kagome! Hey! Kagomee! Can you hear us? Where are you ?!" Sango shouted as she and Mirokue strolled through the forest. “Man, where is she?” Sango wondered aloud. "Who knows .. I just hope we can find her quickly" "Yes .."

Meanwhile with Chippo and Kiara. "Uuuuah ...." came the little foxyoukai who shook himself. "Scary place here. Have the others found Kagome yet?" Kiara indicated that she didn't know. Otherwise they would probably have been looking for them by now.

InuYasha was running faster and faster. He was afraid. Fear for Kagome. Such actions were not common for them. What could have happened? It was even getting light again slowly. InuYasha's blood gradually rose to his head.//What happened? What? WHAT?! // He stopped briefly in front of a tree to rest. He struck the tree with all his might. //Damn it! Damn it!! Damn it!!! // He leaned against the plant that didn't have much left of a tree. But there was no time to breathe. He had to go on.

When Gekijo devoured the jewel, one could really feel how the Shiko no Tama strengthened him. It was literally within reach. Kagome caught his breath. But in order to do something, to undertake anything, in any case more than just being entitled to there, she tried to collect her thoughts, which was obviously difficult for her. But now a possibly even working "plan" came to her. Kagome threw himself in front of
