Chapter 1 ~ The Dream

Written by me, Kagome no baka

"Where am I?" Kagome wondered out loud to herself as she looked around. All she saw were trees in every direction so she assumed she was somewhere in the forest.

*CRACK*

"Who's there?" She quickly turned around, ready to run at the sign of danger and noticed the half Youkai. "Inu Yasha, don't scare me like that you baka..."

Inu Yasha stood in the shadows, his golden eyes fixed on her. He took a few steps toward her and smirked.

"Inu Yasha...?" Kagome stepped back nervously. "Is something wrong?"

"Hand over the completed Shikon no Tama," he said calmly. "If you don't..." he started to growl and looked at her with an evil tint in his golden eyes, "I'll have to take it by force."

She reached for the glass ball hanging on a chain around her neck and took a few more steps back. "Wha...what are you going to do with it?"

"What do you think I'm gonna do with it wench?" he replied with a slight growl. "I'm gonna use it to become a powerful youkai like my father and then I'm going to spend the rest of my life with Kikyo, so hand it over!"

Tears started to form in her eyes as Inu Yasha ran towards her.~ No...my Inu Yasha wouldn't do this...he wouldn't hurt me for the jewel.~ Razor sharp claws sliced into her shoulder and she fell to the ground in pain. Somehow she found enough strength to reach for the jewel hanging around her neck, but her effort was in vain. She discovered it was gone and she looked up at the half youkai that was now holding the jewel with pain in her eyes.

"No...Inu Yasha..." she whispered and closed her eyes as the half youkai ran towards her again.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Kagome woke up covered in a cold sweat and realized it had only been a dream. She glanced and her clock and sighed.

"It's only 4 a.m., I should really get back to sleep," she said to herself softly. "I have to go back tomorrow or else Inu Yasha is gonna kill me." She laughed softly then remembered her dream and stopped. ~He wouldn't really kill me... would he? She thought for a second before answering herself. No....I'm his `shard detector,' he wouldn't let anything happen to me. I know he at least cares a little about me....~

"He....cares...." she whispered and fell back asleep.
