(Last chapter)
"Its all my fault! If I went with her then this never would have happened!" she suddenly burst into tears. Miroku brought her into a hug and let her cry into his shirt.
"Shhh, you know that's not true. You had no control over the situation." He told her confidently.
She hesitantly nodded. 'I guess he is right........' she thought.
*******Chapter Ocho**********
'I couldn't have done anything to prevent it from happening.' She thought as Miroku rocked her back and forth. He walked her over to his bed and sat down, letting her sit on his lap and eventually fall asleep. He soon joined her in the wonderful world of unconsciousness.
*~*~*~*With Kagome and Inuyasha*~*~*~*
Kagome lay tossing and turning on her bed. Inuyasha was fast asleep beside her.
~Dream~
"Inuyasha?" Kagome asked him. She was in the middle of a beautiful forest. He was walking away from her. "Where are you going?" she asked curiously. He didn't even look back.
She started to run towards him, but the forest became thicker, and soon it was so dark she couldn't even see where she was walking.
"Inuyasha!" she called out into the darkness. No answer. She spun around when she heard a deep voice behind her.
"What makes you think he wants to see you?" it was Naraku, with Koga by his side. Kagome took a step backwards only to trip on a root in the ground.
"I thought you would have figured it out by now. He doesn't really like you, he is just acting like that so Miroku can get rid of you." she shook her head in disbelief.
"N-no you're lying! That's not true!"
"Kagome, I know it's hard, but you have to face the facts sooner or later. You might as well just come with us." Koga stuck out his hand for her to take. She reached up and took his hand and walked with him, that is until she realized what she was doing. She tried to get away from him but found it to be impossible.
She tried to yell for help, but it was like she couldn't talk all over again. Finally Koga stopped dragging her and held her by the shoulders. They were at the top of a cliff.
"Don't disappoint me son." Naraku said as he walked back into the forest.
"See Kagome, Inuyasha isn't going to show up. He doesn't care about you." She hung her head. Koga tilted he head up at studied her face.
He pushed his lips to hers forcefully before pushing her off the cliff. As she fell, she saw Inuyasha standing where Koga was, laughing.
******End dream******
"AHHHHHHHHH!!!" Kagome screamed. She fell off the bed with a painful thud, tangled in the sheets.
Inuyasha sat up with a tired look on his face.
"What is it Kag? You ok honey?" he asked sweetly, getting up to help her. She tried to untangle herself, but it was no use. When Inuyasha finally got her out of the sheets he set her on the bed. He was too tired to notice her shaking at his touch. He put his arm around her and started to pull her down, so she would be laying next to him.
"No! Leave me alone!" she tried to run to Miroku, but as soon as she put pressure on her hurt leg she collapsed. Inuyasha was now completely awake.
"Kag, what's wrong?" he asked walking up to her. He bent down to pick her up but she scampered away from him, whimpering quietly. He looked shocked, and hurt.
"What is it? Why don't you want me near you?" she was now in the corner of the room and had brought her knees up to her chest.
"I want Miroku." She said so quietly he almost didn't hear her. Almost.
He walked to her ignoring her last comment. He kneeled down in front of her. She was now cornered.
"Tell me what's wrong." He whispered. He reached out to stroke her cheek but she flinched away. Inuyasha cringed.
"I just want Miroku." She whined.
"Why don't you want me?"
"Because." She paused. "Please. I just want Miroku." She started to cry. (AN. I don't know about all you guys, but when I'm really tired I cry 10 times easier)
"Shhh, don't cry, please don't cry." He brushed away her tears. "I promise I'll take you to Miroku if you tell me what's wrong." She looked up at him with fear in her eyes.
"I had a bad dream. I want Miroku. He always makes it better." She partly told the truth.
"Kagome, remember we had this talk. I can tell when you are lying." Truthfully, he had no idea if she was lying; he just figured that this way, if she were lying, that she would tell him the truth now.
She gulped.
"Umm, well, I did have a bad dream."
"Continue."
"You were there."
"And."
"You laughed when I was about to die, and you let Koga- you let Koga-" she couldn't finish. He brought her into a hug.
"Awww, Kag baby, you know that I would never ever do anything like that." She nodded and burst into tears.
"I'm scared." She said in between sobs.
"What are you scared of?"
"Koga, the boys at school, Naraku, that Miroku thinks I'm a pain, that you will leave me." She couldn't control the tears streaming down her face. Inuyasha looked confused.
"I will never leave you Kagome. Never. I promise. And what do you mean the boys at school? Do you mean the ones from yesterday or all of them? Who is Naraku? And you know that Miroku loves you. He would never think of you as a pain. And about Koga, I wont let him hurt you. You know that right?" he looked down at her only to find that she was sleeping. He sighed and picked her up. After setting her on her bed he went into Miroku's room. He found him and Sango fast asleep in each other's arms. He decided not to bother Miroku like he had originally planned. Instead he walked back into Kagome's room.
He saw the last thing he expected. She was sitting at the top of the bed wide-awake, with the blankets wrapped around her.
"I woke up alone." She stated.
"Sorry, I was just going to see if Miroku was awake, I thought you were asleep." He replied getting into bed with her.
"It's ok." She scooted up higher so that she was leaning against the wall, sitting up. Inuyasha lay down next to her.
"You gonna go back to sleep?" Kagome shook her head.
"Don't want to." She said simply.
"Why not? You need your rest after today. You lost a lot of blood ya know."
"Yeah," she yawned. "I know. But I still don't want to go to sleep."
"You gonna tell me why?" he asked hopefully. She looked at him.
"I don't want to have another dream. I have one every night. Every single time I fall asleep for more than an hour. Besides, Miroku." She stopped there.
"Miroku what?" Inuyasha asked curiously. She shook her head.
"He doesn't think I'm important anymore. He used to hold my hand when I got scared, and if I got hurt he would always make sure I was ok, and he'd somehow make it better. He's like my big brother." She paused, and for a second Inuyasha thought that was all she was going to say. "Then Sango came along." She looked down at her hands.
Inuyasha sighed.
"Kagome, you know he loves you. You're like his little sister!"
"Well he didn't even come to see if I was ok today." She said in an almost whiny voice.
"I'm sure he'll come when he can." She didn't say a word for at lest 5 minutes.
"Inuyasha? Do you............never mind."
"Ok.............."
"Well, I was just.........forget it."
"*Sigh*"
"I was wondering if........."
"Just spit it out already!!!!!" he yelled in frustration.
"Well, do you only, umm, does Miroku. *Sigh* do you only put up with me because you feel sorry for Miroku? Do you think that he used to not have a life cause he had to take care of me? Is that why you like me?" she asked on the verge of tears. No matter how hard she tried she couldn't forget that dream. Now matter how much she told herself it was just a dream, she couldn't get it out of her head.
"No. That's not true." Was all he said. 'I can't believe that she would think that of me! Calm down Inuyasha, calm down. She's had a hard life. She thinks everyone is going to leave her. You need to prove her wrong' he thought to himself.
"Once again, Miroku loves you, he would never think of you as a pain." He stopped and looked up at her. "You ready to go to bed now?" she shook her head no, and then stopped to think for a second. She looked back at him and hesitantly nodded.
"I think so." She scooted down and lay facing Inuyasha. "Inuyasha?" he sighed. 'Here we go again' he thought sarcastically to himself.
"Yea?"
"I don't want to go to school Monday." (It was Saturday.) "Do you think that we can just.....not go for the next week..........or two? Please?" she asked awkwardly.
"Why? Because of your leg? Ya know we could just get you crutches."
"Well, kinda. It's just that, those guys. And. Well, I guess I always felt safe cause I can run. I was on the school track team before my........" she paused and shook her head, as if to get rid of an unwanted thought. "Anyway, now I won't even be able to..........ya know.........do you know what I mean?" she asked him hopefully.
Surprisingly for both of them, he did understand what she meant.
"Yes I understand. But, you have nothing to worry about, I promise I won't let you out of my sight." He reassured her. Kagome blushed a little at what he said. 'I guess that everything will be fine if he is there with me.' She thought.
They said nothing more the rest of the night. Kagome soon drifted back off to sleep, leaving Inuyasha to watch her sleep.
She had no nightmares that night.
