Kagome had forgotten about her injuries and they were getting worse. *I feel woozy. but what about Hoseki? What- what was I going to say? Ohh. * Kagome fell unconscious. Sesshoumaru came to pick her up, but Shippou ran in front of her, "I won't let you take her." Rin came up. "But Kagome mama needs help and she was there before." Shippou thought about this then said, "Fine, but mama Kagome would want Hoseki to come too!" He pointed over to Kagome's new friend. Sesshoumaru nodded, "We will take her to. You don't need to worry about your mother Shippou." Shippou's jaw dropped. * Did he just say my name? Wow I think he's sick. * Shippou nodded and went with Rin to Ah-Un.

When they stopped to make camp Rin would notice Sesshomaru glance back at Kagome, but when he did he looked worried yet very happy she was back. Rin elbowed Shippou, "Ow! What'd you do that for?" "Hehe lets go play Shippou." (Oh by the way Rin and Shippou are a little older now.) Rin grabbed his arm and dragged him into a field. Rin now whispered, "Hey Shippou sorry if I hurt you, but I wanted to see what Sesshomaru-sama would do if he were alone with Kagome. I've noticed all day he's been looking at Kagome." Shippou nodded. Quietly the children climbed a tree and were in a good position to watch. (Don't you just love kids? ^_^;)

Sesshomaru watched as the children left and leaned back against a tree. *What a day this has turned out to be. I wonder though. Why did Kagome leave me in the first place? Or was she kidnapped? If she was kidnapped then why is she 'traveling' with that girl? Who is that girl? Where did she come from? How did Kagome become a demoness all of the sudden? * All of these questions plagued his mind then the other demoness began to stur. * Hum. maybe she can tell me.* Sesshomaru got up and went to the girl that was next to Kagome. The girl in question shot up and looked around. "Where am I?!?" She jumped up only to fall back down from her injuries. "Settle down. You have been poisoned." He started to treat her wounds. "I have a few questions to ask you." Hoseki looked at him suspiciously, but nodded to carry on. "How do you know Kagome?"

Kagome looked into the lake. "Is that me? Wow I look different." Kagome was looking at her demons self in the lake. A deep chill went down Kagome's spine and someone wrapped their arms around her waist. "Yes I know you do. Is this all for me?" The person that was in her dreams from before was here. "GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME!" Kagome struggled to get away, but the person had a tight grip on her. Then finally the moon came out from behind the clouds and she turned around to see his face and.

They had gotten back to the palace and Kagome was in the next room dreaming, while Sesshomaru was in the room with Hoseki. "Well its starts out with my mom she told my dad that Kagome would be coming and-" "Your mom is a Miko?" Hoseki sighed. "No she is a demon.any how my dad; he's human; went looking for her and found her crying, from what I hear she had just got into a fight with her boyfriend or something and - " "I am not her boyfriend." "WHAT?!? You're the one that was fighting with Kagome, huh? Well no wonder she was afraid that you would take her away. When she first came she thought she was gonna have to leave to make sure you didn't try to kill anyone in the village to figure out where she was." Hoseki was now looking around the room, she just figured out she was in a BIG room with fancy everything! Everything room the futon she slept on to the cabinet that held cloths in it. "Continue." "Oh yeah sorry. Anyhow when my dad found her he asked her to take a potion my mom and I had made to see if she had any demon blood in her and if so to bring it out. Well it turned out my moms prophecies were right again. Kagome turned out to be a demon just seal away in a human body." Sesshoumaru thought, *So that's why Kagome was always.. different. She always earned the respect of everyone and she could do so much more then a normal human and. she smelled so good. * He wasn't afraid to admit that fact to himself, but not to others. Someone might find his weak spot. Sesshomaru nodded. Hoseki took a deep breath and began again, " Well then my dad and her came to where we live. A place where demons and humans coexist together. There's no shortage of either species so one such as myself could never feel alone. As you probably know I am but a half demon. Well Kagome was surprised to see such a site," *I wonder why. Seeing most demons loath humans. Seek them as mates sometimes and/or kill them. * "Well she and I trained by ourselves, sometimes with my mom. Finally Kagome asked if I would go with her on a Shikon Shard Hunt. I accepted her offer and we were off in a little while. Soon afterwards we came upon the village next to Inu-yasha's forest, picked up a kit named Shippou; the one that is always with Kagome; well once we were on our way Kagome sensed a Shikon shard. We followed her and she told Shippou to hide till the battle was over, but from then on you know the rest. In fact more then I do from that point." Hoseki held her head trying to remember, but failing miserably. "That is because you were knocked out soon into the battle." Sesshomaru turned to the door. "Thank-you for your cooperation." With that he left.

Sesshomaru turned to his left and into door next to Hoseki's. Kagome was trembling. Rushing over to Kagome he held her close to him. "Kagome wake up!" Kagome stopped shivering, but she did not wake. *Hum.this is a bit more complicated, but if I enter the dreamtime I can see what is bothering her. * Sesshomaru still holding her laid down next to her and slowly went off to the dreamtime. Demons and Miko's were the only ones that could enter the dreamtime, the dreamtime was not sleeping. The dreamtime was where one could visit others dreams through ones mind. The only bad thing there was to the dreamtime was that when one was in the dreamtime they would have no idea what was going on around them, in turn they were defenseless.

Sesshomaru seen the forest and was heading in the direction he could sense Kagome, he also sensed some else. He came into a clearing with a lake in the middle of it. There were to demons; male and female; the male had his arms around the female's waist and the female was struggling to get away.

Kagome sensed Sesshomaru was around. *What if he thinks wrong of this picture? Oh no please don't! * "HHEELLPP MMEE SSOOMMEEOONNEE!!!!!!" Kagome yelled literately as loud as she could. They felt a wind and they heard a growl. The demon behind her let go to look behind him and was thrown forty feet away into a tree. Kagome turned around before someone could blink and saw Sesshomaru. With just as much speed as she turned around, she jumped at him, Hugging him in the process. "Kagome you must try to wake up." Sesshomaru looked down at her. "Don't you think I've tried this?" Kagome looked up at him frustrated and then she looked really surprised as warm moist lips pressed against hers. Sesshomaru was kissing her, a passionate warm kiss. As they parted to breathe the demon had regained its strength. "What a touching reunion, sorry I can't stay to see it end." The demons started to fade. "Till next time my pretty Kagome." With that the demon fully disappeared. "Who was that?" Sesshomaru thought aloud. "Its Naraku." Sesshomaru looked her curiously. "I've seen Naraku many times before. This is another one of his tricks. I can feel it." Sesshomaru nodded. With that Sesshomaru started to fade as well. "Where are you going?!?" Kagome asked. "I was just visiting in the dreamtime. It is unwise to stay to long. If you wake I shall be by your side." With that he was gone. Kagome thought. *Ok then I now know who this is." Kagome awoke to warm arms around her and a chin resting on her head. "I'm awake Sesshomaru." Kagome smiled and looked up at him. "Yes so I see you're awake. Kagome may I ask you a question?" Kagome looked shocked. "What is it?" Sesshomaru raised a delicate eyebrow. "You've never asked anyone for permission before!" Kagome smiled (^_^). "Anyhow sure, go ahead." Sesshomaru's expression stayed the same, but his eyes looked hurt. "Why did you leave me?"

(AN:Another chappie done! *smiles proudly then things get thrown * OK, OK! SO IT'S A CLIFFHANGER! DON'T HURT ME!)
