chapter 5. My Worst Nightmare.
Darkness. He laid in the darkness completely alone. He wanted to call out, to see if someone would help him. He felt blood dripping down his limbs and wounds that burned with pain. He wanted to scream out, but he couldn't. Soon, he saw someone. A large tree. Rays of sunlight made their way past the leaves and shone down on Sora. She looked like an angel as a pair of white feathered wings sprouted from her back. Then something came from the shadows. It's eyes locked onto Sora and as it approached her, everything became dead and dark. As the creature touched Sora, the white feathered wings shattered and were replaced by black leathery bat wings. In an instant, she went from good to bad. He saw her lips, moving, but no words could be heard.
Kouga opened his eyes slowly. His dream was strange and hit heart was pounding inside his chest. The pain, he had felt in his dream was real. The hut flap opened and Kagome walked in.
"Kouga, are you alright, you look terrible." she said in a concerned voice. He looked up at her and smiled weakly.
"I'm fine Kagome. By the way, where is Sora?" he asked. He just wanted to make sure she wasn't at any waterfall. A wave of shudders ran up his spine as he thought about
"Ayame." he whispered softly. Why and how could she do such an awful thing to him. Then, he remembered what she told him.

"Why? I'll tell you why!" she yelled at him. "First, you loved Kagome and now, you like her daughter! It was supposed to be you and me together, no one else!" she yelled.

He closed his eyes as he crossed his arms in thought. He knew that she despiesed Kagome, but did she really hate her enough to attack him and Sora. Then his eyes bolted open as Sora came to mind. He had seen her tackle Ayame and then he blacked out from pain.
He pushed himself up, his wounds had almost healed fully now. He walked outside of the hut he was in and looked around. He didn't see Sora anywhere. He sniffed the air in hopes of catching her scent, but to no advail. He sighed heavily as he began to wonder.
'First the Birds of Paradise come back and now Ayame went crazy. It's like everything that is happening, is tied to the past in some way.' he thought. 'Wait. If what I beleive is true, then that can only mean one thing.'
"Naraku." he growled. His hands clenched into fists and he cut his own skin with his claws. He shook his head angrily. There was no way he could still be alive.
Kouga ran towards Kagome's hut. He looked around him and couldn't see anyone. He couldn't even catch their scents. Then, something hit his nose. An extremly powerful and entoxicating smell. He followed it unwillingly. His demonic senses were pulling him to it. Then, he stopped suddenly as a blush began to form on his face.
Sora was now a half demon again. Her long black hair clung to her as the roar of a waterfall blocked her hearing. Sora had waded into the waters, in order to bath, or so it looked like that to Kouga. He sniffed the air again and found that the scent was coming from Sora herself. He couldn't keep from watching her as she moved deeper into the water.
Then she turned her head around. Her face, was at first blank and Kouga expected her to be angry. But, no. Instead she smiled in an evil sort of way and beckoned for him to come closer. Kouga's eyes went large with surprise. He didn't move, for he couldn't fell his legs any more. She frowned when he didn't come and held her arms up to him invitingly.
Yet, he still didn't move. Her face now held hatred as he found out, she wasn't what she seemed. Her arms lengthened until they reached Kouga. Then her hands grabbed his neck and began to choke him. Kouga gagged as he was pulled under the water, to kill him faster.
'Sora.' he thought weakly.
Kouga rose up with a frightful jump. His heart was racing and he was carpeted in sweat. He heaved breath, he could still feel the cold fingers on his neck. He looked down at his hands before putting his head in them and shaking his head.
Sora walked in the hut and looked at him. Her demonic features had returned and she looked like her normal self. Kouga looked up abruptantly and his eyes were full of strange fear. It looked fake and kind of unnatural.
"Kouga, are you well?" she asked him lightly. He shivered as she spoke his name. He wondered if this was real or not, if she was really there or if it was just another dream.
"Sora, I'm fine." he said as he decided if she cared about him, it was most likely real.
"What kind of dream did you have. You kept tossing and turning and you looked as if to be in pain inside your dreams." she said as she knelt down next to his bed. He smiled at her as her soft smell reached his nose.
"My worst nightmare." he replied.
