Okay, this chapter is short, I KNOW, but I'm leaving in an hour and a half and I really wanted to put up a chap to get the plot line goin'. ( Don't know why I bother. DOESN'T ANYONE UNDERSTAND WHAT'S GOING ON? ANYBODY?!?) Oh well. If you're confused there's going to be a summary of the story at the beginning of every chapter if you care to read it. Enjoy.

Summary: Inuyasha was killed by Naraku right in front of Kagome, and his spirit was taken by Kikyo into hell. Inuyasha's hell is that he thinks that Kagome had died, and there was nothing he could do to stop it. Kagome fled to her era, but has now returned to the Sengoku Jidai, ( Inuyasha's time) to put him to rest, and Kikyo is brooding over her life while she watches Inuyasha in hell. .

Kikyo gazed at Inuyasha through the bars of his hell. It was odd, she thought. She had never imagined

hell to be like this. To be trapped in a nightmare for eternity... not pleasant. He was asleep, of course, like all

of the others, floating inside the small cell, just one of so many that lined the halls of hell. He was trapped in

his own mind. She wondered what he dreamed...what his hell was like. She had no idea how long she had

been here, watching him.... She thought about her own life sometimes... She had been a good person when

she was alive... But Naraku had destroyed that. ..She was not the empty shell that Urasue had made of earth

and clay... She hated Urasue for daring to disturb her rest... The shell that she created was only an

embodiment of all of the anger that had not been resolved in death... Her spirit remained inside of Kagome...

but her soul was trapped here. It was ironic that she, in life, had been the protector of the jewel of four

souls... That's what she was, torn into four pieces: Her soul, resting inside of Kagome, Her body, wandering

earth, Her life, now over, and her spirit, being tortured here... watching Inuyasha's slumbering spirit, wracked

with nightmares of hell... his breathing....slow and even.... his breathing. his breathing . And now as she

watched him, she realizes. Inuyasha was breathing.
