An update? YES! I'm sorry that I haven't updated in FOREVER the inspiration just wasn't flowing. But I hope you'll stay with this story and read it!

Do I need to say this every chapter? I DON'T OWN INUYASHA!

Inuyasha stood in pitch black once again. He thought of the look on his friends' faces, the hate and pity in their eyes. He shook his head and let out a frustrated growl. Kagome would never say those things! Neither would Miroku or Sango! This has to be some kind of illusion. His hand instinctively went to his side to retrieve his sword but it wasn't there. Figures… He thought annoyed. Then he saw a small light in the distance. He ran towards it and soon found himself in a village. But unlike the last one this one was covered in blood. Inuyasha could see a few people running to their houses. The stench of blood was overwhelming. He looked down at himself and saw that him hands were covered in blood, that's when he saw the many bodies scattered throughout the village. "Did I do this?" He asked himself. Then a force hit him, it was dark and taunting.

Of course you did. You released the demon that lurks within you. The voice told him. It echoed through his head. With it came a wave of pain that hit him like a bolt of lightning. Red seeped into his vision coating everything in crimson. Why do you resist? Becoming full demon is your goal isn't it?

Not like this, not if I hurt innocent people. He told the voice. But it was a losing battle; his voice was becoming quieter and weaker. He felt his demon blood rise and take over. Through the screen of red he saw a familiar figure running towards him, Kagome. Inuyasha felt a smirk slide across his face and himself take a step forward. Kagome was looking around the village, a look of complete horror on her face. Inuyasha watched as he raised his bloodstained claws and ran at her. Kagome whipped around and stared at him with a mixture of shock and terror. "INUYASHA STOP!" She yelled but it fell on deaf ears as he brought his claws down and slashed through her stomach.

NO! Inuyasha screamed but it was no use, he had no control anymore. He continued to watch as Kagome stared at him from the ground. Blood soaked through her white and green uniform and pooled around her. Her usually bright, loving brown eyes were glazed over with pain and betrayal. Inuyasha heard a chuckle rumble deep in his throat making it sound more like a satisfied growl. He felt himself lean down so that he was almost eye level with Kagome. The look in her eyes tore his heart in half. "Why…?" Kagome whispered taking in a shuddering breath. He could see the life draining out of her with each drop of blood. Inuyasha reached over and stroked her pale skin, a smirk on his face.

"Because you disgust me. All I needed you for was finding the jewel shards but now that it's almost complete you are of no use to me." He growled. He could feel her blood sinking into the ground and the metallic smell filled his nose. STOP! He cried, wanting nothing more than for the scene before him to disappear. But it didn't, he saw a small smile form on Kagome's face.

"I'm….happy…I could…be with you…." She said, each word getting quieter and quieter. "Even…if this…is how it ends…" She gave him a smile that was overflowing with sadness before her chest stilled. Inuyasha felt tears threatening to fall. His vision was starting to black out again. The red faded and he could feel himself regain control of his body. Inuyasha stared at Kagome, his heart broken before he wrapped her lifeless body in his arms.

"I'm sorry Kagome. I'm so sorry." He whispered letting tears stream down his face. The last thing he felt was Kagome's blood soaking his kimono before he was thrown into darkness once again. Inuyasha sank into the shadows, he welcomed the nothingness. Anything was better than seeing himself kill Kagome. Guilt ripped at his heart and he sank into the darkness more. "I'm sorry…"

~Outside his Dreams~

Kagome watched worriedly as Inuyasha tossed and turned in his sleep. His face was covered in sweat and his face was filled with pain. She quickly placed a wet cloth on his forehead and placed a hand on his cheek. His skin was burning up. "Kagome…Kagome!" He cried hoarsely. Kagome gently shifted him so that his head was in her lap. She moved a strand of silver hair from his face.

"It's ok Inuyasha, I'm right here." She told him comfortingly. He didn't seem to hear her instead he got even more frantic.

"I'm sorry…I'm sorry!" He repeated over and over. Kagome's brow furrowed with anxiety. Not knowing what to do to help him she just stroked his face while mumbling comforting words. After a little while he calmed down and he stopped thrashing. Kagome sighed in relief and replaced the cool cloth on his head. Suddenly Miroku came through the door way followed by Sango and Lady Kaede. Kagome gave them a small smile and placed Inuyasha's head back onto the pillow she had brought from her time. Kaede immediately went to Inuyasha's side and after a tense moment she sighed.

"He is under a powerful curse." She told them.

"How do we break it Lady Kaede?" Miroku asked quickly. Sango shifted anxiously and Kagome looked on hopefully.

"The only way to break such a curse is for Inuyasha to overcome his worst fears and realize what he sees is not reality." She said standing up. Kagome stepped forward.

"Is there any way we can help him?" She asked casting a glance at the sleeping half demon. Kaede thought for a moment then shook her head.

"I believe the only thing you can do now is try and guide him through the nightmares he is plagued by."

TBC!
