Kagome felt the power recede inside of her and watched as the glowing pink orb discipated. The demon in front of her grinned whole heartedly as she rose to her feet and bowed slightly towards her. Kagome returned the gesture and introduced herself. His smile softened and he replied, 'I am Ayumu.' Kagome was taken aback at the name. It meant 'dream' or 'vision' and the irony was not missed. She commented on the oddity of such a thing and he seemed taken aback. 'You are displeased by my given name?' Kagome paled. 'No. No, that's not what I meant. I just thought…it was odd that you come to me in my dreams…' Understanding passed his features and the easy smile returned to his face.

'I would like to get to know you better, Kagome' he announced. She smiled at him for a moment before realizing that there was someone who would have a huge problem with that arrangement. 'Well, you see….my friend Inuyasha is…' she was cut off as a tree fell behind her in the forest. Both looked behind her, startled at the loud crashing noise the tree made. 'KAGOME WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?!' came the scream of Inuyasha. Kagome looked down at her hands and sighed, drawing the attention of Ayumu. He glanced at her questioningly just as Inuyasha broke through the tree line behind her.

'GET THE HELL AWAY FROM HER, SCUM!' he shouted, drawing Tetsusaiga and, in one fluid motion, placing himself between the pair. The two stood rooted to the spot, shocked. Kagome immediately made a grab for the waving arm of Inuyasha's Haori as he brandished the sword at Ayumu. 'Inuyasha, DON'T!' she urged him. Inuyasha turned a blazing, half red-eyed stare in her direction and pushed her off of him. He was still there, but loosing himself quickly to the beast inside of him.

A/N: Do understand. This IS a Sesshomaru and Kagome fic, so he WILL appear later. Don't worry :D

And today, I realized just how alone I am. Then I thought about it and realized how alone I'll be when I'm moving. It's about the same, I guess. If I can handle it now, I'll be able to handle it then.
