Evil Angel.

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha, unfortunately. It belongs to Rumiko Takashi.





Kagome sighed, staring into the fire. It had been a couple of days since their last encounter with the group of mercenary's,

The Band of Seven. Kagome had been feeling off ever since , but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. She was drawn out of her thoughts by Inuyasha slurping down his fifth cup of ramen. It's a wonder he doesn't get fat, she thought. When the whole group had finished their meal and after the standard shout of 'HENTAI!' from Sango after Miroku grabbed her, it was time for bed. As usual, Inuyasha slept in a tree and Shippo slept curled up next to her. Just before Kagome went asleep she remembered when she had felt like this before. It had been when Menomaru had possessed her and she had almost killed Inuyasha. Unfortunately, she fell asleep at that moment.







When Kagome woke the next morning she didn't remember any of her realization. All she could think about was the fact that Inuyasha was nowhere to be seen. He must have gone to see Kikyo, she thought angrily. Everytime Kagome thought they were taking a step forward in their almost relationship, Inuyasha went and took two steps back.So the group ate breakfast in an uncomfortable silence. When everyone finished their meal, Kagome decided to go for a walk to be with her thoughts. Stupid Kikyo, she thought as she trudged through the forest. Kagome understood that Kikyo would always be special to Inuyasha but sometimes Kagome just felt like she was second-best. It wasn't a very nice feeling. As she walked further, lost in her thoughts , she didn't see the pair of azure eyes staring out of the trees. But she did her the cocky voice that said,' Well, well, well. What do we have here? Aren't you Inuyasha's wench?' Kagome froze, and turned around slowly. The voice had come from the handsome young man in front of her, with his long black hair in a braid and his blue eyes sparkling underneath his purple cross tatoo. It did not escape her notice that his eyes were sparkling with malice, his mouth turned up in a cruel smirk, with his giant halberd, Banryu, slung over his shoulder. Kagome squared her shoulders and held up her chin. ' Bankotsu', she said slowly. His hand twitched and the blunt end of his sword came flying towards her as she was swallowed by the darkness.
