Wow! I'm flattered by the reviews! Thanks, and I'm sorry, I went on a short
vacation. I'm trying to put better spaces, I'm not the best (obviously),
and I hope those who have reviewed will stay my current readers!

Chapter 2: The Dream
"What...What's going on?"
I asked, dreaming. I heard laughing in a distance, and saw two amber eyes peering at me. I started running from the laughing, and it just got louder and louder. I was being chased. I was suddenly stopped by a gentle arm around my waist, and I held my breath. I looked back, only to see one of the guys who always beat me up after school. Sesshomaru. I could not speak, and I felt as if my heart was going to leap straight out of my chest. I looked into his eyes, seeing nothing but deep, warm amber. I was lost in those eyes, and he leaned down and kissed me. I woke up with a start. My alarm clock was beeping loudly, and I hit the snooze button. I shook my head.
"That's just impossible...he hates me...so why do I love him?"
I whispered to myself, sitting up in bed. I sighed, standing and switching off my alarm clock, stretching. My black eye was just starting to fade, and my cuts looked better. I sighed again and walked to my closet, pulling out a black skirt and a white shirt. I pulled that on carefully, and then my boots. The song, "I hate everything about you" popped into my head. I started humming it and picked up my school bag, trudging out my door. I had to get there early to be able to think things out...and maybe have a chance to see Sesshomaru. As I walked, I continued humming, and that turned into singing. I sung the song over and over again, until I heard a voice near me. I jumped and stopped singing.
"You have a nice voice, to bad you won't be able to use it for a while!"
I heard a guy shout, and saw a flash, a pair of dog ears, and a fist coming for my chest. I was knocked to the ground. The wind was knocked out of me. I couldn't fight back. I never could. I saw a cruel smirk on the face of my dream-lover's half brother. InuYasha.
"I-inuyasha!"
I gasped, my eyes pleading for mercy. I saw the chill in his eyes as he picked his foot up and slammed it down into my ribs. I heard my scream in the agony I suddenly felt, and the last thing I saw before it all went dark was that same pair of warm, amber eyes from my dream. I felt my body being lifted, but saw nothing as I was unconscious. After a while, I opened my eyes to see Sesshomaru looking down at me. 'He's the only one who had the guts to-JESUS!'
I thought, and then moaned in pain.
"Shh...You'll be ok. InuYasha broke a couple of your ribs. Just stay with me Kagome. I don't care what you are anymore, just stay alive."
I heard those words out of Sesshomaru's mouth and I closed my eyes again. I fell into the darkness, and my muscles twitched, jolting my mind back to my pain. I squeezed my eyes shut and made an uncomfortable noise. I no longer felt the warmth of Sesshomaru's arms. I opened my eyes slowly, realizing I was in the hospital. 'Oh God...Oh God oh God oh God! I'm in the hospital! HOLY SHIT!' I thought, and nearly spoke, had it not been for the pain I felt when I drew a breath. A doctor came in, smiling faintly.
"Good to see you awake Ms. Higurashi. I am pleased in your recovery so far. You have a visitor. Mr. Sesshomaru, you may come in now."
The doctor said, looking behind his back, and I watched a tired looking Sesshomaru enter.
"Kagome. You look...wow. You're recovering fast."
Sesshomaru said, and I couldn't respond. I wanted to tell him I loved him, but I couldn't get the words out. The doctor left, scribbling down words on a paper on a clip board. Sesshomaru came and sat down in a chair beside my bed.
"I had to claim to be your brother to get in...Hope you don't mind."
Sesshomaru said, and I slowly shook my head.
"Listen, Kagome, I'm sorry for being cruel to you in the past...I've sworn to myself I won't do it again. Never. Not after this. I never knew it would get so serious. Miroku and Shippou said they were sorry as well, but InuYasha is such a fool. He won't speak of you at all."
Sesshomaru explained to me and I nodded, smiling weakly.
"Th-thank y-you S-s-sesshomaru."
I whispered, my voice hoarse. He smiled. 'Odd...' I thought, and he nodded, placing a hand on my own. I lay my head back down, and started to sleep again. My plan was working, not against me, yet not for me, but it was still working.
