Chapter 2: Nightmare

~"Inuyasha!"

Kagome sprinted toward the lifeless body. She starred in horror, fearing for the worst. She dropped to his side, jerking his body around, trying to wake him.

"Inuyasha, come on. Get up! Don't leave me! I need you. Get up!"

She slowly began to stop moving him around. Her eyes became glazed with tears. She struggled to blink them back.

"No. You can't go."

She lowered her head and rested it on his chest. She couldn't hold back the tears anymore. She let it all out. Her weak hands gripped his blood stained kimono, the tears soaking it.

"Why? I'm lost without you."

She buried her face deeply into his kimono, hoping for a sign of movement.

"No."

She slowly lifted her head, and gazed into his silent face.

"Inuyasha."

She tilted forward and laid a gentle kiss on his soft lips. Her tears continued to flow, some hitting his face. She wrapped her arms tightly around him, unaware of his opening eyes. She held him close to her small body, trying to warm him. She buried her face in his damp hair and continued to weep. He slowly regained his vision. He noticed where he was, and he felt safe. Kagome closed her eyes, and shifted her head to meet his lips. She laid one last kiss upon them. Inuyasha starred, shocked at her movement.

"Uh?"

Her eyes shot open. She leaped back in a sudden movement.

"Inu.Inuyasha!"

Her face flooded red.

"Uh, your awake!"

She leaned back on her heels, holding her hands together.

"What happened to you?"

She starred at the injured hanyou. He slowly began to raise himself up. When he reached a sitting position, he grasped his chest and moaned in pain.

"Inuyasha!"

She reached forward to help him out, but she was rejected.

"I'm.I'm fine. You need.need to worry about yourself."

He gave her a really serious look, a look that sent a chill down her spine.



"Inuyasha? Do you not want me here?"

He glanced up and noticed that her eyes were glazed with tears.

"Of.of course not. I'm.I'm just afraid that.that your gonna get hurt."

He struggled to move his hand towards hers.

"Ka.Kagome."

"Inuyasha?"

She watched as he cupped her small hand in his. A tear fell from her face and hit his bloody hand.

"Inu.UGH!"

"Huh?"

Kagome eyes went blank. She collapsed right into Inuyasha's lap. He just starred.

"Ka.Kagome?"

He scanned her body.

"NO!"

Right in the center of her back was a shining arrow. It had pierced her body.

"Kagome! KAGOME!"

She was lying there, in his lap, lifeless. Inuyasha gently rolled her onto her back, and then he lifted her into a delicate brace in his arms. He caressed her body tightly against his.

"No."

His chest pounded in pain from the wound that was inflicted upon him, but he didn't care. He began to rock Kagome's lifeless body in his arms. He then raised his head and yelled into the silent air.

"NOOOO!"

His eyes filled with tears and made their way down his dirty face. He then lowered his head and brought his voice down to a whisper. He leaned forward and placed his mouth close to her ear. His heavy breathing warmed her cold skin.

"I.I.I.lo.love."~

"AHHH!"

Kagome jumped up from her soft bed, her hair damp from sweat. She was breathing very heavily.

"What.what happened? It must've.it must've been a nightmare."

She lowered her head and closed her eyes.

What a nightmare. It seemed so real though.

She raised her hand and placed it on her chest. She then glanced out her window and at the moonlit sky.

"Something isn't right."

She dropped back onto her fluffy pillow and sighed.

"Why do I feel like this?"

She closed her eyes once more. Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her heart.

"Hm? It feels like someone.like.Inuyasha!"

She leaped out of her bed and headed for her closet. She quickly drew out some clothes, and put them on.

I don't know why, but I feel as if Inuyasha was hurt, hurt badly.

She threw on her shoes and shot out the door. She ran into the shrine and dived into the Bone-Eaters Well.

Hold on Inuyasha. I'm coming!

When she reached the feudal era, she grabbed the vine that led to the top of the well and climbed out. As soon as she touched the ground, she sprinted off to where her heart was telling her to go. Suddenly, a dark figure appeared in her path. It was too late to stop.

"Huh? Oomph!"

She crashed to the ground. She slowly raised herself to her knees.

"Ouch."

She then glanced up.

"Huh?"

The dark figure became clear.

"Kikyo?"

Kikyo starred at Kagome, her eyes cold and harsh.

"What."

Kagome was stopped.

"The deed has been done."

Kagome gazed at the priestess, confused.

"Inuyasha is dead."
