Lunara and Keiko's home was inside the middle of a large hollow tree, in the middle of the forest. They have to walk again by Sesshomaru who is watching someone by the water ways. "Hello overly fluffy dog." Lunara greets walking on by, keeping a sharp eye on Keiko who jumps on the dog demons back in a random hug for a greeting. Lunara sighs dragging her off before she gets herself hurt. When they got there Lunara walks into the house and sets the poetry book onto a shelf to read later. She peers over at Keiko and Kagome as they get themselves settled in on the couch and goes to start dinner. "Something the matter Kagome?" Keiko asks setting down on large mat of straw and animal furs for a bed in the middle of the wooden house.

Kagome looked at them with an awkward smirk on her face, "Yeah.. I want to talk to you guys about someone..." Lunara looked at her, "It's about Inuyasha isn't it? What did he do this time?" Keiko looked over from stuffing her face with seaweed, curious to know what was going on. "He didn't do anything.. I just.. I have feelings for him I can't explain. I feel warmth in my heart when I look at him. I feel.. happier than I could ever be." Keiko walked away from her now half empty bag of baked seaweed, She hugged Kagome for a while before letting go, "Aw Kagome. That's called love. It's a wonderful feeling if the other person feels it in return." Lunara walked over and sat next to them with a little grin on her face, "Keiko's right. It's suppose to be the best feeling ever next to what you love as your hobby."

Kagome looked at them with wide eyes, 'How could this be? Inuyasha loves Kikyo so he'll never love me in return.' Lunara and Keiko looked at her as she was deep in thought, "Kagome? Are you okay?" Kagome looked at them and nodded. "I'm really tired. Do you mind if I go to bed?" Keiko looked sad for a moment, then perked up as she knew Kagome would hang out for a while before she went back to Inuyasha and her friends. Lunara looked to the side, "Go ahead Kagome. It's alright if you want to go to bed. Sleep well." Lunara and Keiko showed Kagome to the spare room. Lunara stopped her for a second after Keiko left, "Kagome, can I give you some advice?" Kagome looked at her and nodded. "If you're in love with the dog tell him before it's too late. I might not like him, but you deserve happiness." After that she left Kagome alone to go to sleep. Kagome was deep in thought until she drifted into sleep.

Kagome's dream

It was foggy as Kagome walked around aimlessly, not knowing where she was going. She stopped for a moment as she heard a sound that was familiar. "Hello Kagome." She looked around frantically hoping the voice was a figment of her imagination. "What do you want from me!? Why do you haunt my dreams..." She slid to the ground in confusion as she grabbed her head. "I want to show you what your worst fear is." Kagome opened her eyes slowly as the scenery changed. She was by the well, leaning against it looking towards the direction of the sacred tree. "Why am I here?" She asked herself as she tried to get up. She looked around and noticed Inuyasha standing across from her, just staring at her. His eyes were full of anger as he ran towards her, slashing her shoulder open. As the blood ran down her arm she looked at him with fear, "Inuyasha! Why are you doing this!" He looked at her with a smug you, "You're simply in the way between me and Kikyo. I don't need or want you around anymore." He said as he ran at her, cutting her other shoulder open making her fall to the ground. Before she could be attacked anymore she rolled down a hill hiding in a bush away from him only to be found due to the smell of her blood. Inuyasha pulled the bush up revealing a scared Kagome. She looked terrified as ever when he leaned down. 'No Inuyasha don't do this...' she closed her eyes. Before she knew it she didn't hear any sounds anymore, "Now you see young Kagome, He doesn't want you around. He loves Kikyo." The voice started to fade away as she opened her eyes, "But why did you show me that..." She looked around and saw a shadowy figure next to her, but she couldn't tell who it was.

She shot up in a panic, it was still dark outside. Keiko was asleep and snoring with a book Kagome had got her a while back called 'To Kill A Mocking Bird.' on her face. Lunara was up still, reading her poetry book by candle light. Lunara noticed Kagome was sitting up staring at the wall, wondering what was wrong with her. "Kagome? Is everything alright? You look unwell.." Kagome didn't answer, she stared blankly at the wall for a few moments, before she realized Lunara was in front of her. "It's nothing, just a bad dream. Nothing to worry about Lunara." She said as she looked Lunara straight in the face. Lunara knew Kagome was lying but she didn't push her to talk about it. Lunara nodded and returned to her bed to finish her reading before she went to sleep.

Kagome looked to the open windowsill before laying back down, 'What do these dreams mean? I don't understand and as much as I want to ask Lunara about them because of her wisdom I feel like she'll realize there is something wrong with me..' She kept that thought to herself and went back to sleep the best she could. She needed to get back to Inuyasha in the morning to talk to him about how she felt. Unknown to Kagome, Lunara was watching her with worry in her amber gaze. Her ear flicked tail swishing in agitation and she looked out in the direction she knew Inuyasha was in a frown crossing her features. 'I wish those two would just find each other already, the demon community is getting restless and they aren't going to be able to defeat Naraku if they can't even get their feelings out in the open because they need to be able to trust each other.'

As Lunara worried about Kagome the chill in the air worried her as well. There was an unfamiliar scent so close to their home, but she wasn't too worried about it as she was sure Inuyasha was hiding somewhere near by like the stalking creep he was. As she thought that Inuyasha jumped from a tree in the distance to one slightly closer hoping Lunara and Keiko wouldn't pick up his scent. 'Damn that Kagome, wanting time to herself before we continue our quest.' He looked at the sky as he laid in a tree to make sure Kagome was safe. 'Even though she gets on my nerves a lot, I still wish I could tell her how I felt.' As he thought this he saw a soul collector swirling in front of the tree he was in. He knew what that meant and smelled her scent.

Lunara saw the soul collector too, She stood up as she kicked Keiko in the side. Keiko rolled over looking at Lunara and she motioned to follow her. Inuyasha started following the soul collector to its owner, Kikyo. As he was following the soul collector Keiko and Lunara were following him, keeping their distance so they did not alert Inuyasha of their presence. Inuyasha closed in on Kikyo's scent as he drew closer to her, he saw her in a clearing leaned up against a tree. He looked at her from a distance before he went closer to her. Lunara hid in a tree in her small cat form while Keiko hit in a bush. They watched him from a distance and used their good hearing to listen to their conversation.

"Kikyo.." Inuyasha spoke as he looked at her. She looked at him with anger in her eyes, "Why did you come here? Shouldn't you be with Kagome?" Inuyasha looked around to make sure no one was around, "Kikyo I've been thinking about you a lot... I want you." The minute Keiko and Lunara heard that their minds were boiling. 'How could he do this to Kagome, the dog thought he could have both women.' Lunara thought fur bristling as she watched closely. Inuyasha looked at Kikyo quietly. Kikyo smiled as she moved in, "Inuyasha.." He looked at her before embracing her. Keiko was becoming irritated as she was exactly the same as him but wasn't this stupid. She knew at that moment Lunara probably wanted to main him and bury his body parts in different continents.

Inuyasha kissed Kikyo as Lunara and Keiko stopped listening to what they were talking about to head back home, Lunara stayed behind a bit because she wanted to talk to the dog about what just happened. Keiko went back home to continue sleeping before her human night came as she was very vulnerable. Inuyasha said his goodbyes to Kikyo before returning to where Kagome was staying. Along the way Lunara tackled him to the ground. He looked at her in confusion, "Hey were you following me!" Lunara looked at him with a serious face as she smacked him across the face with her poison claws, leaving a mark that started to bleed a bit. "What was that for!" He said as he pushed her off and did a back-flip to get away. Lunara looked at him, "Inuyasha, Keiko and I saw you with Kikyo. I thought you were low but I never imagined you would be this low!" He looked at her with confusion. Lunara sighed and huffed a bit, "Kagome is in love with you and you betray her feelings like this?! Honestly. What is it that is making it so hard for you two to admit your feelings for each other!?"

Inuyasha looked away, "I wish it was simple to tell her but I'm still in love with Kikyo too.." Lunara started to walk away, huffing a bit as she did. "Inuyasha, you expect her to be there for you and no one else but you can't even do the same for her. Which makes you worse than most men." With that Lunara disappeared, Inuyasha was worried they'd seen everything and he was even more worried that they would tell Kagome about it.
