Well, peeps, here's chapter 4!!! Ok, I had thought this chapter up in a dream so hopefully it turns out as cool as it seemed when I was dreaming it! Hope everyone is enjoying the story so far!

After walking for several hours, Kagome suddenly stops once again, only this time, with a confused look upon her face. Inuyasha, once again not paying attention, smacked into Kagome's back. Only this time, since he didn't want to fall in the dirt again, he tried to grab Kagome's long black hair to hopefully catch himself. With a very loud "OWWWIIEEE!", Kagome's head jerked back; and this caused them to both fall, with her landing on top of him.

"You know, a little warning might have been nice! Inuyasha pushed Kagome off him, holding a hand to help her up, which she ignored. "Well, I don't know what gave you the idea that my hair was a rope! And now I have a huge headache and I didn't bring any aspirin!!" Kagome pushed herself off the ground, still mumbling how much her head hurt, placing a hand to her forehead, walking past him. Inuyasha was about to say something else, when Kagome quickly turned around giving a cold look and a quiet "Don't". He decided to just keep his mouth shut.

After another 5-10 minutes, Kagome stopped once again. Inuyasha, thankfully for both of them, stopped as well before crashing into her. "What the hell are you stopping for?! Don't tell me you lost the jewel shard!!!" Kagome, still quite pissed at Inuyasha, yelled "SIT!", causing Inuyasha to once again land in the dirt. He decided to just stay there for a few moments since it seemed that's apparently where he was supposed to be, until he heard Kagome whisper, "Actually, I did lose it."

"WHAT!!!" Inuyasha immediately pushed himself off the ground, standing in front of Kagome, fuming. "What the hell do you mean you lost it! How can you just…AAAARRRGGGHHH!!!" Inuyasha stomped over to the nearest tree and started punching it, until he heard Kagome start crying.

"I don't know, I felt it and now it's gone! Still sniffling, she started running further up the road. Inuyasha stood near the tree a few seconds longer, cursing his lack of luck, and ran after her. When he reached her, she was passed out, sprawled out across the road. Inuyasha, quickly scanned the surrounding area but he didn't sense or find any enemies that could have caused this. He kneeled down by Kagome's unconscious form, gently trying to shake her awake, but to no avail.

While lying there, Kagome entered a dreamlike state, where she began, a battle of her own. A white smoky mist swirled around her, making everything seem very hazy. Kagome stood there a few more seconds, hearing Inuyasha's voice calling her name. "Inuyasha, where are you?" Kagome tried to scream back; unfortunately he could not hear her. I must be dreaming, but how am I ….. awake? Kagome walked further into the mist, hoping to find some answers, quickly stopping short when she heard a voice, this time not Inuyasha. But it was not only the voice that stopped her movement, but sensing once again a scared jewel shard, this time very close.

"Don't be afraid, for soon, you will not feel anything. Welcome to my domain." A beautiful woman, with long white hair flowing down her back and wearing an elegant gown of the deepest blue, holding out her arms, came strolling through the mist. Kagome instantly saw the black glow of a tainted sacred jewel shard in the center of her chest. Kagome let out a silent gasp; unbelieving that a person so beautiful could cause the sacred jewel shard to become so tainted. When she was about to demand the woman's purpose, she vanished. For a few moments, Kagome stood there confused and quickly became scared for she no longer heard Inuyasha's voice.

"Inuyasha, where are you!" Kagome, frantic, scanning, hoping to hear his voice stopped when she heard someone. "Kagome, I'm so glad you're alright!, concern and relief deeply etched in the voice. "Inuyasha" ran over to Kagome, putting his arms around her. At first, Kagome became very flustered and thrilled that maybe he felt something for her too like she did for him. Reality quickly took hold though, for she knew that this would not be the reaction of the Inuyasha that she knew and loved. She quickly squirmed out of his embrace, backing away. "Who are you? What do you want from me? Kagome, terrified tried to run away but it was no use, since the fake "Inuyasha" grabbed a hold of her once more, and try as she might, she could not get away.

Kagome, in a desperate cry screamed out "Miroku! Sango! Shippo! Inuyasha! Anyone please help me! The man that looked like Inuyasha threw back his head and began laughing. "Kagome, you stupid girl, no one's going to save you! At that moment, this man bent and kissed her.

Kagome, outraged, began squirming once again, only this time more intensely, to once again have it lead no where. While the kiss continued, Kagome could feel her strength waning, slipping into unconsciousness. Can one experience double unconsciousness? While wondering this, she noticed another figure appearing out of the mist, a monk with black hair pulled back in a short ponytail in a black and purple robe quickly followed by a woman with long black hair pulled in a ponytail in a black and pink outfit carrying a huge boomerang and a fox demon on one shoulder and a tiny cat on the other.

"Well, not wasting anytime are we? Perhaps we should leave the two love birds alone", Miroku leered. "Miroku, you idiot! That's not Inuyasha!" With that outburst Sango disturbed Shippo and Kirara and smacked Miroku with her Hirakotsu. Kagome, still being kissed by the imposter, relieved to see her friends, and then quickly lost consciousness.

The real Inuyasha, frustrated and worried about what was going on, left the unconscious form of Kagome when he finally sensed another presence. He noticed a woman that had a mad look in her eyes. "They're all going to die."

"Oh no, they're not!" Inuyasha unsheathed his Tetsusaiga, raised it in the air and yelled out "WIND SCAR!" A funnel form of wind twisted, slashing through the demon. With that strike, the demon evaporated, leaving the jewel shard in its wake. Inuyasha resheathed his Tetsusaiga, grabbed the jewel shard, and ran back to Kagome. When he got there, he saw Miroku, Sango, Shippo, and Kirara standing beside Kagome's still-unconscious form.

"How did you guys get here? What's going on here? Why is Kagome still unconscious?" Inuyasha, looking completely confused, heard Kagome start to stir. He knelt down by her once again, supporting her into a sitting position. "Kagome, are you alright?"

Kagome blinked a few times, still very weak, looked into Inuyasha's eyes, not sure whether or not he was the real one. "Inuyasha, is that really you?" After asking, Kagome fainted.

"Damn, what the hell kind of question is that?! Of course, I'm me!" Inuyasha then noticed that it didn't matter cause she couldn't hear him. Sango, kneeling down beside him, "We better go back, I don't know what happened or who that demon was but I have a feeling this is all connected to Naraku." Inuyasha nodded and picked up Kagome, while everyone followed him to the well.

"I want to know everything that happened" said a seething Inuyasha, who then jumped through the well followed by his compnions, connecting Kagome's era to his, hoping to find some answers…..somewhere.
