Recap:

She giggled "Yeah, yeah, I'll answer them later... now... where's Rin?" She noticed the tension in the air

He stiffened, he was about to speak when a voice cut them off "...Kagome..."

x-x-x-x

Normal POV:

Kagome immediately looked behind her "Tora..."

Tora faintly smiled at her "Yeah, it's me"

"What? I-I thought you were dead" Kagome gasped

"Okay, so I think we're on the same page here..." Tora nodded "You were supposed to be dead too! I thought I killed you!"

At this, Sesshomaru tensed and shot his attention towards Tora. Without saying a word, Tora knew exactly why he was staring at her, she started trembling. Kagome cleared her throat and stood up "I thought you killed me too but I survived. Plus, it wasn't me you were after, was I?"

Tora gave Kagome the 'thank you so much!' look and shook her head "No you weren't, I didn't want you to die"

"And... who, exactly, were you after?" Kagome asks

"Well..." Tora paused "...To be truthful, I was after Inuyasha. He's always in the way!"

Sesshomaru seemed to relax a bit at hearing that and he stood up to leave. Kagome grabbed Sesshomaru's sleeve "Where are you going?"

"Out" He answered plainly as he ripped himself out of Kagome's grasp and left the room closing the door tightly behind him

x-x-x-x

Kagome's POV:

"You killed me 50 years ago, Tora, how is everybody still so young?" I asked not wanting to know the answer

"No, you didn't" Tora denied

I tilted my head "I didn't... what?"

"You didn't die 50 years ago" She told me "You died 20 minutes ago, Kagome. This life isn't real, I'm not real, you're not real, Sesshomaru isn't real. You're not in your real body nor am I, everything here is a lie, we need to find a way back to the real world"

"So... this is a dream?" I pursed my lips Crap! That explains a lot! How can I be falling for Sesshomaru of all people!? Oh, man! I'm so glad this isn't real!

"More or less" She shrugged but stared at me straight in the eye "But it's you're dream, Kagome, you can do anything... anything"

"S-So... what do I do!?" I bit my lip

"Just believe, you have to really want to go see Inuyasha, Kagome, you never were dead. You're knocked out and very close to death, BUT IF YOU DON'T WANT TO DIE THEN COME TO YOUR SENSES! DO YOU WANT TO DIE!? IF YOU DIE, YOU'LL NEVER SEE INUYASHA AGAIN AND HE'LL BE HEART BROKEN!" She put her hands on my shoulders and dug her nails into them as she shook me harshly "WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU!?"

She shook my like a ragdoll, my hair shadowed my eyes as I thought she was hurting me I couldn't even talk. Then, all of a sudden, the pain stopped. I looked up and her sharp nails were human now, she had shoulder length dark brown hair and her eyes were a dark emerald green. She looked at her hands and her jaw dropped as she whimpered "What the heck did you do!?"

"You were hurting me!" I cried

She smirked "Oh? Try to do something else"

I thought of Kikyo as soon as Tora smirked like that, that's the way Kikyo looks at Inuyasha. Then I heard a voice that brought me out of my trance "Who are you?" asked the angry voice

I looked up and saw Kikyo staring at me angerily, I started trembling as she aimed an arrow at me, I sighed "I..." I trailed off

She scowled at me "Who are you!?"

"I'm... Kagome... the human girl that travels with Inuyasha... your enemy..." I furrowed my eyebrows

"No, who are you?" She corrected herself

"I-I- I don't- I don't know..." I grabbed my hair and fell to my knees "I don't who I am, I don't know where I am, I don't know why I'm here! Why am I here!?"

She aimed took the arrow off the bow and put it in her arrow as she put her bow by her side "No, nobody ever knows exactly who they are becoming. You are a different girl, priestess. Since the last time I've seen you, you've changed, you're a different woman than before... what happened to you?"

"I don't know what you mean!" I yelled "Leave me alone! I don't like you! Go away! And don't you DARE lay a hand on Inuyasha! He's mine!"

"Do not worry, I am not here to take back my rightful place by his side... not yet anyway. You may have a while longer..." She sighed as she walked out of the door

I heard another voice inside my head yelling "KAGOME!? KAGOME! WAKE UP! PLEASE, WAKE UP! I NEED YOU! DON'T YOU DARE DIE ON ME!"

My tears stopped as I chased after Kikyo, Tora chased after me yelling "Wait! Kagome! You can't just go off by yourself!"

"Yes I can!" I yelled back to her as I caught up to Kikyo "Kikyo! Wait!"

She stopped as she quickly turned around and aimed an arrow at me, she shot it this time and right in my heart.

x-x-x-x

I gasped as I opened my eyes and Tora was standing over me with that evil grin on her face "Ha! You pathetic little girl! You should've stayed dead!"

I coughed, Inuyasha sighed in relief "Kagome! Are you okay!?"

I stood up and pushed Inuyasha off of me "Thanks, Tora, thank you!" I ran and hugged her

"What the heck!?" She tried to push me off of her as she clawed my back

I winced but continued to hug her "You helped me so much, I'm so thankful, you helped me see Inuyasha one last time..."

"Your dream world is..." She stopped clawing at me and sighed "I didn't help you, Kikyo did"

"So you remember?" I pulled away and fell into Inuyasha's arms

"Kikyo?" Inuyasha held me tighter in his arms as I took deep breaths "Kikyo... helped you?"

I continued to blled through that big hole in my stomach and I clutched onto Inuyasha's robe as I whispered "Goodbye" I closed my arms as I loosened my grip

Inuyasha hugged me tighter as a few tears landed on my cheek, I immediately knew they were Inuyasha's... I guess I'm not the only one who's afraid of my death...

"Don't you dare die on me! I need you! I need you here with me! I care about you, Kagome! I care about you a lot!" He yelled at me

I couldn't move, I slowed my breathing down and eventually I couldn't breathe at all. Inuyasha continued "IF YOU DIE I'LL KILL YOU!"
