Soul's Mate by Kit

The Fall

This is a story that I am also writing on FF.net, and decided to move over here. May move my other stories over as well. We'll see.

Summary: Kagome makes an interesting agreement with the least likely of demons.

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or any of the characters belonging to Rumiko Takahashi.

Kagome’s knee cracked the ground painfully. She ground her teeth together instead of shouting and forced herself to stand and continue her light jog. She knew that she was clumsy and it was times like these that being clumsy was a particularly heavy burden. Kagome was running, escaping from a cunning kitsune that had managed to kidnap her. She had waited until nightfall and had snuck out of the cave the demon had placed her in. She was a good distance away now, and the morning sun was high in the sky, but she really didn’t want to be found so she was being as quiet as she could be.

Suddenly the ground slipped from underneath her once again and she cried out in shock as she slipped down the steep mountainside. At the end of the rock side she was falling down, she could see…nothing. It was a steep drop-off and she knew that if Inuyasha didn’t find her quickly, she was in a lot of trouble. 

‘INUYASHA!’ she cried out, knowing there was no way that he could help her now. The edge of the cliff slid closer and closer to her with every pounding beat of her heart.  As she slid off the edge of the sheer drop, Kagome knew that this was the end. She closed her eyes as the wind rushed through her ears and waited for the inevitable impact of the hard ground beneath her.
