Chapter One: Kagome's Nightmare

Kagome sighed as she sat down on her bed, looking at pictures of her and her schoolfriends. It's been a looooong time since I've been home, she thought to herself. She smiled as she saw a picture that stood out from the rest.. a picture of a guy with a red kimono, silver hair, and dog ears. InuYasha... She turned the page to see a woman in a pink robe, a man in a blue-ish black robe, and a young child with a fox tail. And the others. Kagome smiled to herself at the thought of her friends back at the Feudal Era. "Too bad I can't go back for a few days.. I have two big tests to study for.." she sighed, and closed her book of pictures. She opened her school backpack and took out a textbook, and began to look through the pages. Study study study... After flipping through a few more pages, Kagome couldn't take it no longer.. it was past midnight, and she was exhausted. She closed her eyes and fell asleep, her head resting on the textbook...

A familiar voice spoke. "Kagome! Kagome"
Kagome woke up from her bed, and looked towards the voice she heard. It was InuYasha. She sat up and rubbed her right eye, then blinked. "Inu..Yasha"
He was running towards Kagome, but he was being pulled farther and farther away.
"InuYasha!" Kagome called out, and began to run after her half-demon friend, but she couldn't move from where she was running.. And InuYasha was still being pulled farther and father away. Soon, he was out of sight. "InuYasha..." A few minutes after speaking, Kagome saw a figure leap before her. It was infact InuYasha, but... he was a demon. A full-fledged demon. Kagome's eyes widened as she took a step back. "InuYasha.. You're a.. demon"
The new demon InuYasha turned to Kagome, growling, and his red eyes filled with anger. "InuYasha"
It was.. almost as if he didn't know who she was.
"InuYasha!.. Snap out of it.. Don't you know who I am anymore"
InuYasha's red eyes looked straight at Kagome, still fiery red of anger.. He growled, and showed his claws to attack Kagome..

Kagome woke up from falling off of her bed. She sat up, frightened, and took deep breaths. "It was.. just a dream.." she told herself, stil slightly scared. She heard a sound.. almost like a growl. She looked rapidly from her left to her right as the sound came closer and closer..

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"

She let out an ear-shattering scream, as she thought that her dream was reality... Kagome's mother ran into her room, turning the light on and looking down at her.
"Kagome! What happened, dear?" her mother asked.
Kagome looked around again, and noticed that the growling-like sound was coming from a fat cat that she relaized was Buyo. "Just.. a dream.. that's all"
"You shouldn't be staying up so late anymore, Kagome.. Go ahead and try to get some more sleep, okay"
"Alright.." Kagome's mother left the room, and Kagome laid back down on her bed. Why did I have such a horrible nightmare?.. I mean, why TODAY out of all days?.. Kagome yawned as she still thought about her nightmare, and sleep soon claimed her..
