I tried desperately not to roll my eyes as my eccentric, hopeless romantic, best friend described her dream from the night before. "He came to me again." she mused, her daydreaming eyes not even seeing the classroom or anyone in it. All she saw was him, some pretty boy with "long black curly hair", "a hypnotically soothing voice" and "blood-like eyes", literally, the man of her dreams. "But this time, it was strange. It was like he was in a hurry."

"Yeah, probably to run off and appear into the dreams of another whore." I mocked. She glared at me for a second or two, and then lowered her glare to the desk. I couldn't hide my smirk. That's what weak personalities are for, to follow stronger ones- like mine.

"That's not all," she continued. Man, this girl did not know when to quit. "He told me to talk to Kagome, so I could find him."

"Well, here you are, talking to me. And to tell you the truth, I have no idea where to find this guy- or if he even exists."

"Not you, not Kagome Inuzuka…. He told me to talk to… K-K-Kagome H-Higurashi…" Kawayui looked away, afraid. She knows my hatred of Kagome Higurashi. I'm so much BETTER! My gorgeous face is framed by my flowing brown hair- accented by glowing amber streaks- and my eyes are a crystal blue-green as refreshing as a glass of cold water would be to a man dying of thirst. And yet all the guys prefer Higurashi and her mud eyes. I can't stand the sight of that wretch.

"Kawayui, I can't believe you would even think of stabbing me in the back by talking to…. Wait, that's a WONDERFUL idea!"

"It is?" Kawayui's hands were shaking with fear. I could see the devious sheen in my eyes reflect off of hers.

"Yes. Go talk to her. Be your 'innocent' self, befriend her, and gather any dirt I can use against her. Maybe then I'll forgive you for your earlier selfish thoughts."

"Ok, should I go now?"

I could not help rolling my eyes this time. "Yes, the sooner the better. Here she comes. GO!"

I paced impatiently around my room. Kawayui should have reported back half an hour ago. I knew this would happen, Ever since she left on the bus with that girl, laughing. Kawayui would not come back. No, she was going to stay put where she was; she was going to be Kagome Higurashi's best friend now. I kicked the closest bed post and punched a pillow. Something clattered on my window. Finally. I pulled up the glass pane of my window. "Kawayui, you're late!"

"I know; I'm sorry." I threw down the makeshift rope of bed sheets so Kawayui could climb up. She pulled herself up by the windowsill and fell to the floor.

"Why are you late?"

"Naraku," She smiled, then seeming to realize that I had been left out of some sort of secret, elaborated, "the guy I told you about, his name's Naraku. And he brought me to his castle in the middle of this poisonous forest and…" I stopped paying attention, knowing this would last forever. I checked my newly painted nails to make sure that each one had dried perfectly. "… He gave me this! He said that I had to keep it on me at all times so I can visit him. He was even sweet enough to make into a necklace." Kawayui brandished a sliver of a jewel wrapped in twine around her neck. It illuminated a dark purple color. "He told me to keep a good eye on it, said that someone might try to take it from me, especially Inuyasha."

"That's a weird name. Who is that? And why would he take that from you; it's valuable?"

"I guess it is… You know what else was weird? Their clothes! Everyone I saw was wearing old fashioned kimonos, like we do at festivals, only not as decorative. EVERYONE wore them. And they talked funny to, using words like 'bode' and 'thee' and 'milord'. It was odd."

"You're crazy. A word of advice: psychiatrist."

"No, I'm not. It was real! I'll prove it to you. C'mon!" She pulled me toward the window, and slid down the wall, again using the makeshift bed sheet rope. She ran to the sidewalk. Even though it was dark outside, I could see her silhouette. She stood there, hands on hips, waiting for me. I held the bad sheets in my hand, and lifted my legs over the windowsill. I propped my legs against the outside wall of my house and walked down. Kawayui made it look a lot easier. I caught up to her; she grabbed my wrist and ran down the street. I tried to scream at her, but my panting wouldn't let me. She finally stopped in front of the Higurashi home.

"What do you think you're doing? Where are we going? Why are we at HER house?"

"In order, I'm proving I'm not crazy. We're going into that shrine. And we're at Higurashi's house because the well just happens to be on her property."

"The well?" I asked.

"You'll see," Kawayui ran into the shrine, assuming that I just might be crazy enough to follow her. I was. Inside the shrine was much darker than it was outside. "In the middle of this room should be a well. Higurashi jumped into it with me earlier." She ran to the presumed well, and tripped. I grabbed her shoulder, hoping to pull her back and prevent her falling. Instead we both fell in.

We landed with a thump on a dirt pathway. Behind us was the stone well. I stood up, dusting the dirt off of my animal tracks pajama bottoms. I looked into the well, wondering how in the world such a warp- if that was in fact what happened- could be possible. In the rational world, what would have happened is Kawayui and I spending the night in a well screaming our heads off and be caught behind enemy lines. But no, we were in the middle of a forest. More accurately, we were in the clearing of a forest. There were bones at the bottom of the well. I couldn't stop my scream. Kawayui finally moved her lazy butt to come look down the well with me. "You didn't say anything about this." I yelled at her.

"Yes I did. You weren't listening to me again." She said this plainly, knowing as well as I how often I droned out her voice during her rants. I could not deny that I wasn't paying too close of attention to her tangent earlier.

"But, bones?" I pointed down the well as if the scattered pieces of skeletons were not clearly visible without my aid.

"Yeah, it's the Bone Eaters Well. Higurashi told me about when I first came. She said that the people of this village throw the bones of demons down there."

"Demons!" I screamed at her. "How dare you put me in danger like this? I'm beautiful. You know the pretty girls are always the first to go in horror movies?"

"Actually, it's usually the funny people to go. Then the writers don't ever have to worry about adding a comic relief in the movie, and thus it seems even scarier."

"Shut up! And get me out of here!"

"No," What? What was Kawayui doing disobeying me. That does not fall in the description of the side kick best friend. Then I looked at her eyes --they were blank-- and the glowing sliver of a jewel around her neck was going haywire. It looked like a rabid dog trying to force its way off its lease. Then it pointed straight at me, and I watched terrified as it plunged into Kawayui's chest. She didn't even cry out in pain. She continued to stare blankly at me, no, through me. "Lord Naraku says to go to him. Kohaku will escort me to the castle." She said in a dream-like trance. Anyone would have looked at her and think she were sleepwalking unless they were her best friend. And as being such a friend, I knew that Kawayui never walked in her sleep. But I could do nothing to help her. I could feel the brain ordering my useless limbs. But they were disobedient and remained frozen. I watched helpless as a small boy with a sickle in his hand came out of the bushes. Sure, the weapon was frightening enough, but was nowhere near as forbidding as his blank eyes. He raised his hand to Kawayui as if asking her if she would like to dance. Now, Kawayui took his hand as was led back into the bushes and trees. I watched as their shadows grew smaller until they were no more. I slapped the air in front of me, and I was dimly aware that that was exactly what I was trying to do when my body started to betray me – slap my friend awake. I sat down and cried, having no idea that I would never see her again.

I heard a shuffling in front of me, and wiped my tear-stricken face. Always tough, I always had to look tough. I man with black hair, three earrings and in a blue robe held out his hand to me. "Do you need some assistance young ma'am?" He asked, smiling. I thought of the child and how he offered his hand to Kawayui. I slapped this man's hand away and got up on my own.

"No thanks," I declined curtly, brushing off my pants again.

"If that's the case, would you be able to assist me?" The man asked.

"That depends…" I glared.

Then there was a hand on my butt, rubbing. "Would you bare my children?"

I didn't settle for just slapping him, I practically tore his cheek off with my nails. "HOW DARE YOU ASK SUCH A VULGAR QUESTION AND TOUCH MY BUTT!"

"Miroku!" Someone growled. The man in the blue robe half-way raised his hand to show he had heard his name being called. "I heard screaming. Is there a girl up there? Because that would definitely explain the screaming." A man with long silver hair in a red kimono ran up to the clearing. Did he always run in slow-motion, or was that just me? "Miroku!" He looked from Miroku to me and back. The man in red looked me up and down, smirking. "Did he?"

"Touch me?" I glared. "Why do you think he's bleeding?"

"I can see why." He winked and sauntered over to me. Weird clothes or not, the guys here had good taste. "Inuyasha."

"What?"

"My name. Don't forget it."

"I won't. You have no need to worry about that."

"Lost?"

"No duh, Sherlock. How would you ever have figured that?"

"Your weird clothes." He stated, not listening to my obvious sarcasm. "C'mon, let's get you to Kaede."

"You're one to comment on what people wear. What about those ears you're wearing?"

"Wearing? These are real." He leaned his head down, "You need to feel them to make sure?" I didn't say anything, couldn't say anything. "Good." He turned around and walked off, not even bothering to help the pervert. I watched as he left- still moving in slow-mo. Why wait- I asked myself. Without thinking I jumped on his back and locked my arms loosely around his neck. "What do you think you're doing!"

"I'm tired. It's been a heck of a day. And you look strong enough to carry me, would you please?"

"Hmpf, stupid human," Inuyasha secured his arms under me anyway. "You never told me your name."

"Kagome…Kagome Inuzuka"

"What peculiar clothes you wear," the old hag commented as she circled me. "And you say your name is Kagome too."

"Yeah…and?" I raised an eyebrow at her. So what? It was just a common first name, happens all the time. The old woman gave me a bundle of clothes and mumbled something about sticking out like a sore thumb. I looked over at Inuyasha, who was sitting in the corner. He quickly glanced at me and nodded.

"Don't worry Kagome. You won't look anything like her." I would have questioned as to who the "her" he was referring to was, if not for the wrinkly hands pressing into my back. The old woman shoved me into the next room and slid the door closed. I stuck out my tongue at the door, knowing the old woman would not be able to see my rebellious action. I looked at the clothes, a pair of red pants and a white top. I laid them on the floor and started to undress. Little did I know that Inuyasha was watching my shadow on the sheer paper wall, praying that I would take my precious time with each article of clothing. I folded the shirt over like a bathrobe and slipped on the pants, making sure the top was tucked in just right and the pants were tight enough to keep it from slipping open. I slid the door open and was greet by Inuyasha's wide eyes.

"I was right. You don't look anything like her."

"Like who?" I asked, tilting my head to the side. Cute gestures usually resulted in answers.

"Nevermind…. Why are you here?"

"I don't know what you mean."

"You're here without Kagome. That's not right. Only Kagome should be able to get into this world. How did you get in and why?" I looked to my fiddling hands. I wasn't expecting a good cop - bad cop reaction.

"You're right about one thing, however obvious it may be. I didn't come here with Kagome. I came with a friend of mine. She was telling me about this place and… I called her crazy. So, she dragged me to the well to prove herself. I'm always calling her crazy or stupid… And she got so excited to prove that she was right that she tried to run to the well, but it was dark, and she tripped. I tried to catch her, but we both ended up just falling in the well…"

"Now the question is," Kaede coughed, "why did the well not repel you two? Without a Shikon jewel shard, you shouldn't have been able to pass through the barrier."

"Are these jewels small and purple-ish, with a glow?"

Inuyahsa glared at me with disbelief. "The only purple shards I've ever seen were the ones recovered from Naraku."

"That's his name!" I shouted, slapping my fist with my palm. Both Kaede and Inuyasha looked at me with suspicion. They glanced at each other, wondering why they didn't ask before. "That friend of mine…" I looked down at the floor infuriated with these stupid tears. Tough, Kagome, be tough. "She came here with Kagome Higurashi, before… She came back with this necklace with a purple glowing jewel, and said something about Naraku."

Inuyasha leapt from the ground and captured my shoulders. He shook me and dug his claws into my skin. His face was centimeters from mine. He gave a beast-like growl, his eyes glaring furiously into mine. I tried not to shirk away from his frightful face, and failed. "Why didn't you tell me before? Do you know where Naraku is? You've been playing both sides of the field, haven't you? Where is your friend then? I saw no one with you, you lying little-"

"Inuyasha!" Kaede yelled, sounding like a fed up teacher. "Don't scare the girl. She would have never risked revealing she knew about Naraku if she was in fact his spy. Naraku's incarnations are much more cunning then that. Now I do believe she is telling the truth, it certainly makes since. And if this friend had a jewel shard, and you never saw her… Kagome you did come together, right?"

"Yeah, but, almost as soon as we got here, she went all zombie-like. She said something about Naraku calling her or something. The jewel-thing went crazy, and…and…this boy… He had to be like, ten or something. He came up to us, and took her."

"Kohaku," Inuyahsa growled, clenching his fists. "Look here, I'm going to help you get your friend back. It looks like that's the only way we're going to get that jewel shard back from Naraku. We'll head out in the morning. Which means…I'll go get Miroku and tell him we've got a lead." Inuyasha's face brightened as his new smile grew wider. "Sango should be here in the morning to report back from her scouting." He smirked at me. "Looks like we won't need her to do that anymore. We're going to take Naraku down for good!" Inuyasha ran out of the house before I could thank him. I looked back at Kaede, who seemed pleased with this course of action. Inuyasha wasn't the only one who had a thing against this Naraku guy.

"Since you're not leaving until the morning, you are welcome to stay here for the night. Inuyahsa, Miroku, and Sango usually do when they visit." Keade led me to a spare bedroom, and waited by the doorway. "Good night young'un. You'll need your strength tomorrow."

"Thank you. Good night." I lay down on the mat, wondering how I would ever actually get to sleep. There was no way; it just seemed too wrong. I finally closed my eyes thinking, "Let it all be okay. I swear I'll be nicer to Higurashi if everything will be okay."

"Hey Beautiful," Even though I'd only just heard his voice, I could recognize it as Inuyahsa's. I allowed myself to smile, but showed no other signs that he woke me up. I tried to keep my breathing level and not move as much as possible. I felt his hand slide down my arm; he squeezed my hand. "I know you're awake."

I open my eyes to see his golden ones. Nothing was said; it seemed wrong for either of us to talk in the moment. I saw the anger burn behind his eyes. He was anxious to find Naraku. "I'm going to find your friend. I promise. Naraku has hurt too many people. He hurt someone I cared about a long time ago." Inuyahsa continued to rub my arm, letting his fingers glide against the sleeve of my shirt. "That's not going to happened again." Inuyasha leaned in and brushed his lips against mine. I wanted to complete the contact, but I waited for him to. "I promise." He whispered, his lips tickling mine as he spoke. Inuyasha jerked away and rolled over onto his back, arms folded under his head. "I'm sorry."

I crawled over to him, and laid a hand on his chest. "If you're sorry for anything," I let my fingers burrow into his shirt; he gasped as my cold skin relished his warmth, tracing the contours of his abs, "it better be for teasing me like that." I let my lips rest on his, waiting. He did nothing, and I removed myself.

He chuckled, "Now who's teasing?" He tackled me, pinning my wrists to the floor above my head. "Even a simple girl would know not to touch a man down there, without expecting a reaction." He smirked and crashed his lips onto mine. I hugged his shoulders and pulled his body closer to mine. He started to suck on my bottom lip, so I opened my mouth oh so slightly. His long tongue squirmed into my mouth, feeling every part of it and tackling my tongue in an all-out war for dominance. I gave up not long after with a cramp in my tongue. I didn't even know that a tongue could cramp. I moaned in his mouth from the unexpected pain. He skimmed his claws over my shirt, leaving a trail of cuts in the fabric. He un-tucked the top and flung it open. He stared down at my naked chest, transfixed by the curves. He captured one breast in his hand, vigorously squeezing and playing with it. A groan rumbled from deep in Inuyasha's chest. His fangs sank slowly into the other breast, his tongue teasing my nipple.

"Oh! Inuyasha!" I moaned, grabbing onto his long white hair and pulling. He seemed unfazed. He switched breasts, bored with his previous arrangement of hand on the right, mouth on the left. I reached my hand down into his pants and grabbed his erection. I need to please him like I needed him to not stop. He started to suck on me like a baby, and he twitched in my hands. "Inuyasha, please take off your pants." He got up and pulled off his pants and shirt. I stared in wonder at the perfection of his angelic body. He pressed himself against me again mumbling how I shouldn't distract him again. I grabbed onto his cock again, squeezing and pumping up and down.

"Kagome," He groaned into my neck, "don't move your hands." He pumped in and out of my hands. Faster and faster and faster, I imagined Inuyahsa pumping into me like that, and I felt myself getting wet. "Ah. Ah. Kagome," Inuyahsa panted in my ear. "Squeeze me." I tightened my grip as he continued to hump my hands. "Yes…Kagome…a…little…tighter!" I constricted my fists harder against his member. He continued to thrust in and out. "Kagome, Kagome, I'm…I'm," Inuyasha groaned against my collarbone. "I'm going to come." He bit into my neck as a warm liquid spilt onto my stomach. I moaned at the erotic sensation, knowing exactly what was covering me. He plunged his hands into the thick liquid and began to rub it up into and onto my breasts, squeezing and rubbing them in circles. He then trailed his sperm covered hands down and inside my thighs massaging the muscles. He ran his tongue up the valley of my chest and into my mouth, letting me know how sweet he tasted. He trailed his tongue down my torso, hooking his fingers into my pants. Inuyasha ran his tongue down my legs as he slipped my pants down to and off of my ankles. He smirked up at me, and began to rub my womanhood with his thumb.

"Inuyasha," I panted, clenching my hands, wishing there were sheets for me to grab onto. He slipped his tongue inside of me, pulling in and out. "Inuyasha!" He licked against my walls, my pre-cum spilling into his mouth. He pulled completely out, savoring the sound of my whine. He attacked my neck again and bit at my collar bone. "INUYAHSA!" I screamed, this time out of pain as my virgin barrier broke. He didn't even warn me! Inuyasha kissed up and down my neck.

"Shhh… Babe, don't wake up Kaede, now." He plunged deeper into me. Inuyasha groaned against my neck and assaulted my lips, his tongue stirring both of our juices inside my mouth. He pulled almost all of the way out and slammed in. I could feel the floor slide from under my back from the force. I closed eyes, trying to focus more on my breathing than in the pain between my legs. He groaned again, and pulled away from the kiss slightly. "B**ch, you're so tight. I can fix that though, with enough sleepless nights." He lifted up one of my legs and rested it on his side. He penetrated me deeper, and deeper. I felt as a heated pleasure spread from in between my legs to all over my body, as a fire would engulf a forest during the dry seasons.

"More", I whispered against his shoulder and clung onto it as if for dear life. I dug my nails into his skin; small droplets of his blood clinging to the tips of my fingers. Inuyasha's hot breath hit the skin of my cheek with each pant. He bit my bottom lip to muffle a grunt of pleasure. I licked the top of his lip and curled the leg he held around his back to help him push harder. I held my hands lightly to his chest, letting them lightly rub against him with each thrust. Inuyasha began to move slowly, focusing on how far in he was going, further in than his earlier shallow thrusts. He hit my spot, and I screamed in his mouth. I was quieted only by his teeth sinking into the soft flesh of my lip. He curled my other leg behind his back and went faster continuing to hit my spot. I felt a knot grow in my stomach. There was a surge of pleasure and almost relief from the tightness in my gut as I climaxed. But that wasn't good enough for Inuyasha. He continued to bang me like a beast. The moon reflected off of the sheen of sweat forming on his muscles. Harder and harder, faster, and faster, and faster, he pushed until with a growl his come exploded inside of me. He continued to thrust, riding out his pleasure until he collapsed from exhaustion. He pulled out and hugged me to his chest. I nuzzled my head into him, a long ago question lingering, festering in the back on my mind. "Inuyasha, who were you talking about earlier?"

"What do you mean?"

"You said that I didn't look like her. Who is 'her'?"

"Her name's not important. She's the one Naraku took from me, and the woman who broke my heart. But do you know who you do look like?"

"Who?" I asked my face so close to his skin that my eyelashes would tickle it with each seductive blink.

Inuyasha held me even closer to him and kissed the top of my hair, "You look like the girl who's starting to put the pieces back together again."

I giggled, my tired eyes sagged and begged for blessed sleep.

"Kagome…"

"Yes, Inuyasha?"

"Next time, we try doggy-style." I couldn't see his grin, but I could hear the cockiness in his voice. I laughed into his chest. "What's so funny?" Inuyasha asked instantly defensive.

"We'll have to wake up early tomorrow to find Naraku, won't we?"

Inuyasha slapped his palm to his forehead, realizing the truth of my observation. "I really hate that b**tard."
