Chapter Eight: Haunting you

Kagome woke up drenched in sweat, silently screaming. 'INUYASHA!'

She looked around and realized where she was and sighed with relief.

'It was just a dream.'


She recalled what her dream was about and shuddered violently.

Inuyasha ran towards Kagome, his face filled with concern.

She called out to him but no sound came out. 'Inuyasha?!'

Suddenly a bright light lashed out and hit him squarely in the chest.

He faltered for a second his eyes wide, then he fell forward and lay unmoving.

Kagome finally found her voice and screamed his name.

She ran towards him but he seemed to be getting farther away with every step she took.

Then something wrapped its cold arm around her and pulled her into the air.

She turned and looked into the burning red eyes of a creature who's face was in shadow

She opened her mouth to scream but was cut off as a cold hand covered her mouth.

"Now, now," It hissed in her ear. "I wouldn't want you to worry anyone by screaming like that."

Kagome shivered and tried to push it away from her, forgetting she was in midair.

Before it could react she fell from its arms and into blackness.


Kagome whimpered and felt strong arms surrounded around her. She jerked back, her eyes with fear until she realized who it was.

"Inuyasha." She breathed a sigh of relief.

"Kagome what's wrong?" He asked in a worried tone, his arms tightening around her.

She snuggled into his embrace, feeling safe at last. "It was just a bad dream." She whispered.

Inuyasha nodded, his eyes still full of concern, but Kagome had fallen asleep once more.

He sighed and layed down with her in his arms, hugging her sleeping form closely.

He didn't want to lose her again, not now, not ever.


It watched the hut in the early morning light, a light smirk on its face.

From what it could tell the dreams it had sent Kagome had effected her as it had hoped.

The more upset she was, the easier it would be.

It fingered a small silver charm attached to an almost black chain in its hand.

Yes, this would be easier if it kept sending her dreams for a few more nights, then it could make its move, 'And victory will be mine.'


Inuyasha woke to the early morning light shining in his eyes and noticed something.

"My hanyou form is back." He whispered. He looked at his claws and they were indeed shorter as well as his fangs. His youkai markings were gone also.

Inuyasha couldn't decide if this was a good thing or not. He was still pondering this strange thing when he heard Kagome whimper.

He turned to her and she was drenched in sweat and shaking violently.

"Kagome? What the hell!" He grabbed her arms and shook her gently trying to wake her from her nightmares to no avail.

"Kagome won't wake up!" Inuyasha sprinted out of the room in search of Kaede.

Kagome whimpered again and turned over in her sleep, her nightmare making her scream silently.


She walked towards Inuyasha, a smile on her face. He had his back to her, so she'd never know something was wrong until it was too late.

She put a hand on his shoulder and he turned to her quickly.

His eyes were blood red and they had a wild look in them. He growled loudly and grabbed her wrist holding it tightly.

"Kagome." He said hoarsely. Kagome looked at him wide eyed.

He dragged his claw along her check making her shudder.

This was not the Inuyasha she knew, something was desperately wrong.

Before he could do anything else she broke from his grip and ran towards the village.

But he was too fast and cornered her quickly. Inuyasha slammed her into a tree holding her there by her neck, his claws threatening to rip her throat open.

"Don't you ever run from me!" He snarled. "EVER!"

Kagome whimpered which only angered him more.

He gripped her throat tighter and ripped her arm open, causing her to scream even with the lack of oxygen. He cut off her breathing completely then.

As she slipped into darkness she saw him standing over her with a lustful look in his eyes.

Kagome woke up screaming loudly. "NO!"

She looked around and found herself still in the safety of the hut.

She gripped the sheet tightly, silent tears streaming down her face. "Dear Kami..."


It smiled evilly as it heard her scream again, its plan was working well.

'Soon.' It thought, 'Soon.'
