Chapter 1: Escaping From Reality
------------------------------------
'Not again, man, can't this just end already?' Kagome let a fake smile appear upon her lips as she let yet another man led her onto the dance floor.
He was trying to start a conversation, but Kagome didn't hear a word, she only smiled and mumbled responses every so often.
She had never liked balls, they always made her feel like she was some stuck up snob, 'besides, none of these guys really care, they just want something to do with my title. Stupid vultures.'
As the dance ended, Kagome excused herself and bolted for the nearest exit, nearly running her father over in the process. "Kagome! Stop right there child, what is wrong?" Kagome glanced up and shrank slightly when her eyes met those of her father.
"Father...I can't stay inside. I need a little fresh air, don't worry...I'll be right back." Receiving a nod, Kagome mentally cheered and rushed from the room.
Running down the halls she soon reached her bedroom and after a quick change of clothes, she made her way outside and into the gardens. Making sure that she wasn't being followed, she ducked into the small bushes that lined the walls.
Kagome had spent years making an exit out of the palace and every chance she got she would sneak out and wonder about, just as if she was like everyone else.
Grabbing the supplies that she had stashed there that morning, Kagome took one last look about before slipping through the little hole and making her way into the forest surrounding the castle.
She was headed towards the cave she had discovered less than two miles away, it had once been a fox demons lair but had been abandoned years ago, so Kagome claimed it as her own.
With the use of her miko powers she had successfully placed a barrier about the cave, one that only she could cross, well her or those she allowed past. That was the problem though, her father had never let her leave when she was younger and she had never made any real friends, not one.
Knowing that she was soon to be paired off with some lord or some other unknown suitor just made her that much more determined to seek her freedom. She wanted to be free to do as she wished, but there was no way that would ever happen.
Kagome let out a deep sigh as she crossed the familiar path; she would reach her cave by late that evening, as long as nothing happened.
An hour later, Kagome had stopped at a river to take a break, she was about to get up and continue on her way when she noticed something red flowing down river right towards her.
Knowing that she probably should go get help first, Kagome pushed those thoughts aside as she rushed along the river following the trail to it's source. Kagome felt her breath catch in her throat as she sighted the form of a badly wounded man, he was clutching to a large sword and from the way his chest was moving, he need help and fast.
Acting quickly, Kagome rushed forward and turned the man over, he had a large gash across his stomach and what looked to be bite marks upon his throat. "A demon attack...please hold on..." gripping his shoulders, Kagome pulled as much of his weight onto her back as she could.
She then reached out for the weapon, lifting it was hard at first but she soon managed it. Kagome then followed the river back to her pervious location, deciding that her cave was the closest, Kagome made her way there at the fastest pace she could.
'If I don't hurry the blood will bring more demons, kami give me strength.' Shifting his weight and that of the weapon slightly, Kagome continued on and soon reached her destination.
Passing through her barrier, Kagome drug the man over to the small futon that she had put in here some time ago. Laying him down upon it gently, Kagome set down the sword and began to remove the man's armor and haori.
Once this was done, Kagome ripped piece of her kimono and went to the small spring that sat off to the side in the cave. Soaking the cloth, she went back over to the man's side and soaked up all of the blood that had come from the wound. Kagome then wrapped the wound and moved to the one at his neck, it had already begun to heal, but Kagome cleaned and wrapped it anyway.
Deciding that she had done all she could, Kagome got to her feet and went to find some food. Picking up the bow, arrows, and dagger she had stashed in the cave, Kagome made her way to the entrance, taking one last glance at the wounded man before leaving.
Three days passed before the man started to stir, when he did, Kagome was out gathering some firewood so that she could cook the small boar that she had caught just that afternoon.
The man squinted his eyes as he shifted on the futon; he had a thunderous headache and was wondering where he was. Reaching to his side he felt for his weapon, when he failed to find it, he sat up immediately and automatically regretted it.
Falling back onto the futon with a loud groan, his hands fisted in his loosened black hair as he tried to calm his headache away. A sound at the entrance caught his attention, turning his eyes in that direction he felt his breath leave his body at the sight that greeted him.
There stood a woman, she was soaked from head to foot with water and in her arms was a large amount of firewood. He tried to remain silent as she came closer, not sure weather he could trust this woman or not.
Kagome was wet and angry as she dropped the wood she had collected near the carcass of the boar. "Damn summer storms. It just had to rain while I was out gathering wood, someone must have a grudge against me."
Shaking the water out of her hair, Kagome glanced at the man and found that he was still asleep, sighing she began to remove her soaked clothing so that she could change before she got a cold. "I hope he wakes up soon, I can't be away for much longer...I wonder what attacked him out there."
"It was a half-demon." Kagome froze as she heard the strained male voice; turning towards the sound, Kagome gasped when her eyes met the dark blue ones of the man she had saved.
She was so surprised that she forgot that she was topless at the moment, but after about a minute passed her eyes widened as she recalled her current attire, or lack there of. Shrieking loudly she covered herself, a dark blush burning her cheeks.
The man snickered at her reaction; she had given him enough time to study her ahem, assets, without even knowing it. "Keep your eyes closed or I'll gladly reopen that wound for you!"
Hearing her growl, he knew that she had just realized what he had, nodding his head he let his eyes drift shut as he listened to the shifting of clothes. "Alright, you can look now."
Opening his eyes, the man was breathless for a moment, he couldn't help but find the woman in front of him attractive.
"Now, since your awake, would you mind telling me your name?" The man smirked as he slowly sat up to where he was level with the woman, "tell me yours first woman."
Kagome sighed as she adjusted her position so that she could still get the fire going while talking to her guest, "Kagome, you?"
"I am Bankotsu."
