Chapter Two: Nightmares vs. reality

Inuyasha climbed out of the well and walked out of the dark well house.

The Shrine was shrouded in darkness and looked empty. He walked toward the house in the shadows slowly.

'I wonder if Kagome is still mad at me...I didn't mean what I said, I was just mad...'

He sighed sadly and noticed wetness on his face. He growled quietly and scrubbed away the tears.

'Demons don't cry.'

Kagome sat up from her bed soaked in sweat. 'What the hell was that?'

She noticed where she was and sighed. 'It was all just a dream, thank god...'

'I wouldn't be able to take it if we really had said all those things to each other...'

Her hand went up to her neck to finger the Shikon No Tama automatically.

She let out a cry when she found it was gone...except for a single shard.

'Oh no...it wasn't a dream, he really said he doesn't care...'

Kagome fell back on the bed fighting the tears. Her room was soon filled with quiet sobs.

"Inuyasha..."
Inuyasha neared Kagome's open window but stopped when he heard crying.

"Inuyasha..."

He wanted to go to Kagome to comfort her but he thought she was still mad.

His ears drooped and he went back to the well and into the feudal era.

Inuyasha climbed back out of the well into the feudal era. He was greeted by a cold laugh.

"You see Inuyasha, all good things come to end, but if you come to hell with me we could be together forever."

Inuyasha looked up into Kikyou's smirking face, his heart breaking.

'Who do I love? Kikyou...or Kagome?'

"Kikyou..."

Kagome woke up screaming, tears streaming down her pale face.

She recalled her nightmare.

"Kikyou..."

"I will go to hell, I don't need your reincarnation. You're the one I love. Not Kagome."

Kagome shook her head to clear her thoughts. 'He wouldn't really...would he?'

'He might hate me...but he wouldn't leave me to go to hell with her...would he?'

Kagome answered her own question, "He would."
