Yume stared at it, trying to figure out what it was when she finally figured it out. When she realized it, she began running, deeper into the forest. The monster, which she figured was a form of a disfigured spider. With it's many legs, and hungry appetite; it began to chase after her. She tried running in zigzags, but it was slowing her down. She began to run in a straight line. The arachnid continued to chase after her; she then found a cave that was too small for him. So she ran into the cave and looked around. There were wolves sleeping on the ground along with what looked like humans with tails.

She covered her nose to stifle the smell of the dead bodies of animals and other bones that were scattered all over. The entire wolf pack's ears perked up; twitched, and they all woke up; growling. She looked over at the entrance; the spider's legs were scraping the ground. One of the humans woke up; looked over at Yume and smirked. She noticed that he had a tail and what looked like elf ears with a ponytail.

"Ahhhhhhh... a human no doubt. With the smell of a Hanyou. Humph, pathetic human, I should have you for dinner!" He ran so quickly up to her that she fell over on top of another human. He squirmed a bit and pushed her off. "Pathetic human..." he muttered. He recalled what he said and sniffed the girl. "Yummy, you smell tasty!" he said, his eyes laughing. "Kouga... can we please eat her?" Yume wanted to scream but she didn't want to wake up any more demons. Kouga, which was the man that woke up first, was apparently their leader. When she thought this trough, she realized it would have been pointless not to scream, maybe someone could help her. So believing this, she screamed as loud and as high as possible. All of the wolves and men whimpered at the high pitch noise.

"SHUT HER UP! JUST SHUT HER UP, SOMEONE NOW!" Kouga yelled at his pack, though no one could hear him through the shriek. He did the only think he could think of, he slapped her hard, knocking her to the ground. He unplugged his ears as did the others. They all crowded around her amazed that a human could make such a racket.

"What are we going to do with her?" Asked on of the members.

"I don't know yet, but we have got to get rid of that Goddamn BUG!" he complained, pointing at the hungry demon. Yume opened her eyes just enough to see what was happening.

Kouga ran at the spider; jumped up, and sliced it with his claws, straight down the middle. Yume was shocked that the spider had chased her around and it was killed within a minute! How could anything be that powerful? She wondered. Quickly she closed her eyes, pretending to be unconscious. Some picked her up and set her on a nice bed of feathers and straw. She allowed herself to stir around on it, trying to get comfortable. Kouga watched as she did so.

Yume had gotten used to all of the weird sounds of the den and fell asleep. Though her dream was surely unusual.

She was running through the forest, farther and farther. But then she saw something bizarre. She saw the dog man, Inuyasha, holding Kagome, as if protecting her. She stopped and watched what was happening.

"Kagome, I will always look after you, no matter what," Kagome had laid her head on his chest, closed her eyes, and just held him close to her. Through them she saw two figures in the trees, past the clearing; standing, watching as she was. One of the silhouettes was a woman with long flowing hair. The other too had long hair and his clothes were elegant in the wind. They seemed to be holding each other on the arms, though their focus was on Inuyasha and Kagome.

Inuyasha bent down and kissed her. Yume was angry, though she couldn't figure out why. She hated Kagome for what she was doing. For some reason, she wanted to hurt her, maybe even kill her; then he would be all hers. Yume walked out the forest and into the clearing. When they heard rustling from the bushes, Inuyasha and Kagome looked aver at her. Yume had closed fists and teary eyes. Inuyasha began stuttering badly, asking what she saw and that it meant nothing.

"Just like you told me it meant nothing. How dare you play with our hearts, Inuyasha?" The other woman Yume had noticed earlier walked out of the forest also an-

Yume was woken up from someone kicking her in the stomach. She awoke instantly and clutched her gut. She started to cough like something was coming up.

Kouga looked at her coldly, but he was trying to figure out what she was doing. She kept coughing until something did come up. He raised an eyebrow in surprise. He picked up a beautiful crested black jewel. In it was a swirling scarlet smoke.

Yume's eyes went to the back of her head and she passed out. Kouga stopped looking at the precious stone, and listened to her faint heartbeat. In his hand, the black jewel began pulsing to the same beat as her faded heart.

Kouga stared at it in amazement. This was her heart, her Black soul! Thinking she could be useful in battle, he shattered the jewel on a rock. Yume screamed in pain as she clutched her heart. He picked up at least half of them and gave them to her. The black shards grew as half of the jewel, keeping the red smoke inside. "That smoke must be her blood..." he muttered.

Instantly her breathing came back and so did her heart beat. Kouga picked up the remaining shards and put them in his shoe. He was standing over Yume when she gained consciousness again. She screamed; forgot that she was in a den with over twenty other men/demons.

"Is there ever a time when you don't have something bad happen to you? Kouga asked angrily.

"I want to go home," She said, looking right into his eyes. He was a bit startled that she could match his glare. But that wasn't going to stop him from over powering her. Besides, since the Shikon no Tama was shattered, he had gotten two shards in his arm and leg. He loved his new strength. But now that there was at least a half of a new black jewel in his leg warmer for safe keeping and with her soul with him, he could easily make her do what he wished.

"You wont be going home for a long time my dear," Kouga smirked.
