InuYasha sniffed the ground around them, his nose barely above the ground. Jinoku tried helping but InuYasha got angry with him. Shippo stopped in front of the dog demon.

"So do you smell anything? You've been like this since last night." The child shivered, looking around at the dead trees.

"I don't know, I feel like I'm going in circles." InuYasha admitted.

"Then maybe you should have let me help you." Jinoku remarked saltily.

Sheumaru growled when she felt an evil presence slid slowly over her skin. The sound made the boys stop arguing and look to where she was glaring. Her hair frizzed with anger, her knuckles cracking. There, not far from the group of travelers, was a moth demon, the same moth demon before.

"You-you almost killed me! You poor excuse for vermin!" She left out the part that the moth demon would have also killed her child.

"I think you've mistaken me for one of my lackeys, you see I'm the leader of all moth demons."

"Does it look like I give a damn?" She snarled.

"Such foul language on this one." The moth demon said reproachfully.

"There's a lot more where that came from." InuYasha said.

"Ah so you must be the half demon siblings that killed him, and that entire fleet of bandits." His voice sounded like a purr, it made Sheumaru sick.

"Enough of this! Get out of our way insect!" InuYasha pulled out his sword and with one fell swoop he brought down the Wind Scar. But the moth was too quick, and as he dodged, he spit out cocoon like threads, like the other one meer days before.

Instantly Kagome was wrapped within the moth's cocoon. Soon followed by Sango and Miroku. Each got their own special little sphere of hell.

"Kagome!" InuYasha sounded devastated.

Sheumaru turned when she heard Shippo cried out, but she was too late to react. The poor child had the same fate as the others.

"Sheumaru look out!" Jinoku cried. He jumped in front of her, and they too were stuck, wrapped in each others arms they slept soundly.

The dream started out sweet, she was holding her baby Taisho in her arms as he cooed, and made cute baby noises, his ears were bent down because he was happy, but then something crashed outside the hut. Sheumaru stood up quickly, drawing her sword, and blocking her child from possible intruders. She drew the curtain open with her sword, and horrified she looked at what lay over the threshold. There, gruesomely murdered was Jinoku, a sword had skewered him, and from the looks of it, his attacker got him from behind.

Hurriedly she rushed back inside, and placed Taisho in his woven bed, it was wrapped in silk so the woven reeds wouldn't scratch his delicate skin, and as he lay there crying for her to go back to him, she went back outside, to avenge her lover. It didn't take long to find the attacker.

He was tall and lean, with bright blond hair and even brighter blue eyes. He held a spear, and the point was dripping poison onto the ground.

"Why do you look familiar?" Sheumaru asked him.

"Because half-demon scum, you knew my grandfather." He spit, brandishing his weapon.

"Jaior! You're Jaior's grandson!" She snarled.

"That's right, and I plan on killing you and your entire family to get back at what you did to him."

"What I did to him?! Why don't you ask what he did to me?!" She was practically frothing at the mouth with anger.

She charged at him, but the boy was ready, as she lunged, he pointing his spear right at her heart. And with horror she realized that Taisho was all alone in her hut, completely defenseless.

"Don't worry about your putrid spawn, I'll be sure to make it quick when I kill him."

The others had similar dreams, similar nightmares. As each had their own deep dark secrets, and fears they wished no one would see. And the nightmares kept repeating, as they all sat in their woven cocoons, of their own personal hells.

InuYasha POV:

He stood over the moth demon as it breathed out its final words before its departure into the hells.

"Why aren't your cocoons going away?!" InuYasha yelled down at the insect.

"Because, as they fall deeper into their nightmares they become moth demons themselves. And when they hatch free of their prisons, they will not know you. You will be devoured by your own friends unless you kill them first." He laughed, a maniacal laugh, as he finally faded away.

"Damn it all!" InuYasha said, frustrated.

He rushed at one of the spheres, tetsusyga ready to strike, but the blade had no effect on the cocoon. He dropped his sword and started scratching at the material desperately, but the minute his claws made a mark, the cocoon healed itself.

He jumped away, scared of what to do next, but his fear was only translating into anger.

"Kagome! You're stronger than this! We didn't go through all of this, just for you to go out this way. Fight back damn it!" When he got no response he continued to yell.

"Kagome, say it! I dare you to say it, Kagome! Tell me to sit!" Still no response.

He walked over to Miroku's sphere. "What are you doing in there? You think you can just leave me to defeat Narraku on my own?! What about your legacy? Your line isn't going to end here is it? A cowards death?!"

Then he walked over to Sango, "And what about you? Your brother is still under Narraku's control! Are you going to let Kohaku be Narraku's puppet forever?!"

Then Shippo. "You little worm! You annoy the living crap out of me you know that?! But if you go I'll have no one to pick on, and no one who love's Kagome's ninja food as much as I do."

Then his own sister, he put his hand on her cocoon slowly. "You have a child! You should be fighting more than anyone here! You have life growing inside you, but instead all you're doing is crying over some stupid little nightmare!"

Sheumaru's POV:

Sheumaru was laying there, dying slowly as her insides melted away due to the poison rod stuck through her heart. She was crying, wailing as she watched Jiaor's grandson walk to her hut, but she was startled when someone tapped her shoulder. She looked up and saw her brother, quickly she grabbed his arm.

"You're really going to let him get away with that? You're going to let him murder your son?" InuYasha asked. That question, that simple question struck a cord in her, and as she stood up, she growled.

"No. I will fight until my last dying breath." And then she charged at the boy, and brutally struck him down, using his own weapon against him, she pulled the rod out of her chest, and stabbed him through the back. He looked much like Jinoku when he fell to the ground. She rushed inside the hut and grabbed her child.

It was then that she woke up from her nightmare, when she looked up she noticed that Jinoku was awake as well. She unsheathed her sword, and together they tore open the cocoon. When they were free, she noticed that as each of their friends escaped their holding cells that the forest around them began to fade.

"It must have all been an illusion." Jinoku said thoughtfully.

"It must have been." She agreed, her hand going to her stomach.
