Chapter 9

*It's right behind me. I don't know what it is, but its coming. All I can see is the eyes, the bright red eyes. They chase me, I can tell they want to kill me. They want to kill everything. I'm scared, scared beyond belief. I feel a hand on my shoulder, and I turn around and look straight in to red, deadly eyes. All I could do is scream.*

Kagome shot up, screaming as loud as she could. Seconds later she felt a hand on her shoulder and she whipped around and screamed even louder. She stopped when she saw a wincing Inuyasha, and started to cry.

"Kagome what's wrong?" Inuyasha asked, trying to calm her down.

"The eyes. They, they were so cruel. They had no feelings, no emotion other then hatred." Kagome sobbed. She threw herself into Inuyasha's arms and cried into his shoulder.

"Kagome, it's ok, it was just a dream." Inuyasha whispered into her ear, trying to reassure her. "Don't worry."

Kagome just nodded, her tears slowly stopping. When they finally did stop she just huddled against Inuyasha. Kagome looked up at Inuyasha and whispered, "Inuyasha, that wasn't a dream. I don't know what it was, but that wasn't a dream. It was too real." Kagome mumbled, and then laid her head on his shoulder.

"Kagome, try and go back to sleep. You look exhausted." Inuyasha said, starting to move her back onto her bed and out of his lap.

Kagome held on tighter to him and whimpered. "I don't want to be alone. Please stay, just until I fall asleep?" Kagome asked.

Inuyasha nodded and lend back against the wall with Kagome in his lap. Within a few minutes Kagome fell asleep, but Inuyasha was still deep in thought. He thought for about two hours, before he fell asleep also.

**

It had been a week since they left the village. Houjou had come by sometimes, just to check and make sure that Inuyasha wasn't trying to kill her. Eri left them alone also, everything seemed fine. Of course, there was still the problem of the nightmares. They came almost every night now. It had become so bad that they had decided that since Inuyasha's presence helped, he would just stay in the room. Everything was great, until a stupid wolf had to screw it all up.

Kagome was out planting some new food in the garden while Inuyasha was out stretching his legs. Kagome didn't even notice that someone was by her until it was too late. Kouga had snuck right up next to her and grabbed her around the waist.

"What the? Kouga?" Kagome screamed, alerting Inuyasha to him being there.

"Hello there Kagome, I was wondering where you had gone. That dog turd must have kept you on a good leash to keep u from getting back to me. I am here to get you back!" Kouga said proudly. (a/n um, the word stupid comes to mind.....)

"Kouga, I went with Inuyasha willingly! Stop following me!" Kagome yelled at him, breaking from his arms.

"GET AWAY FROM HER!" Inuyasha roared, charging towards Kouga, furious.

Kouga dodged the attack, but barley. Inuyasha charged again, this time faster then even the wolf demon, slamming him to the ground. Kouga jumped back up, regaining his balance.

"Who said she was yours? She's mine!" Kouga snarled, leaping over Inuyasha to Kagome.

Kagome slapped him, again. "I am not property to be fought over! You have no right to be trying to steal me away from Inuyasha! I'm with him! Leave me alone!" Kagome screamed at Kouga, really pissed.

Kouga looked shocked. (a/n omg! I just realized how much I say that in all of my stories, it's like my word or something....) His face then turned sad and he looked down at a furious Kagome. "Your serious aren't you, no tricks?" Kouga asked. Kagome nodded and Kouga's drooped. "Ok, I'll leave you alone, but if that dog turd ever hurts you, tell me and I'll kick his ass for you." Kouga said, then just left.

It was Kagome's turn to be shocked. She hadn't thought that that would really work. He was really gone. 'He's gone? THANK GOD!' Kagome thought, her face starting to get more and more excited.

"Did that actually just happen?" Inuyasha asked, looking at the spot where Kouga had been.

"Yup, he's gone!" Kagome exclaimed, jumping with joy.

Suddenly Inuyasha got a sly grin on his face. "You do know that you told Kouga that he was 'stealing you away from me' right?" Inuyasha teased, laughing at the blush on her face.

"I didn't mean it like that!" Kagome yelled, blushing even brighter.

"Oh really?" Inuyasha asked, running behind her and rapping his arms around her waist. "That's not how it sounded." He whispered in her ear, making her shiver with delight.

"You don't know what you're talking about." Kagome ground out, trying to ignore the feeling he was giving her.

"I think I do." He whispered huskily in her ear, making her blush.

Kagome looked up at him and frowned, "You're doing that on purpose you jerk!"

"Yup." He whispered, closing the little distance between their mouths.
