I am soooooooooooooooooooo sorry about the long wait guys! I mean, its been SIX MONTHS since I updated! I got a little sidetracked with the school crap and the exams coming up and that guy . . . . . . .. Anyway, now that school's out I'll be writing a lot more and I will try to get this finished by August. But I'll be going to North Carolina for three weeks soon, which means no updates from now 'til I get back, but I hope to finish everything while I'm up there so there's a plus side!
And now the update you waited half a year for! Enjoy!

Kagome slowly turned. Her mouth became dry. She held her breath. Before her stood her enemies. Kanna, Kagura, and finally, Naraku. Naraku drew a katana, from where, Kagome didn't know, and took a step towards her. He lifted the blade high above his head, and-
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" Kagome sat straight up. She gasped for air.
'It was a dream,' she thought. 'Everything was a dream.'
She put her hand to her heaving chest. She looked around, and realized that she was outside Kaede's village.
"Oh my god," she whispered, realization hitting her like a ton of bricks. "Inuyasha . . . . .."
Inuyasha slowly sat up, rubbing his aching stomach. He winced as he came across the line where they had cut him the night before.
The night before . . . .
Kagome!
He leapt to his feet, despite the pain in his gut. He frantically searched the clearing, but only found her yellow bag.
"What do I do? Aw man. What can I do?" He stood perfectly still for a moment, then snatched up Kagome's bag and sped off.
"Miroku, did you hear that?" Sango asked, pulling up the woven door to peek outside.
"If you mean did I hear a faint scream from someone who sounds a lot like Kagome, then yes."
"I heard her, too! It's Kagome! Let's go! She might be in trouble!" Shippou cried before dashing outside. He was gone before the monk or slayer could say a thing. They looked at each other then quickly gathered their things and followed.
When they reached the steep slope that marked the beginning of Inuyasha's Forest, they could see Shippou hopping in and out of view as he bounced around Kagome. The pair quickly ran up the slope to join them.
"Kagome! Kagome! I thought I'd never see you again! Kagome!"
"Calm down, Shippou," Kagome said, faking a smile. "I won't leave you."
"Kagome, why did you scream?" Sango asked.
"Uh . . . just a nightmare," the young priestess replied.
"Then where is Inuyasha?" Miroku questioned as Sango tried to silence Shippou.
"I . . . don't know." Kagome stood, stiffly brushing off her back and butt. She stepped forward and gracefully slid down the steep bank, landing with a soft thud as she reached the ground. She continued walking until she reached the hut Kaede owned, where she plopped down in a corner and cried herself back to sleep.
"Miroku? . . . Did she . . . ?" Sango trailed off, seeing the monk nod in understanding.
"Yes. The same trauma that has befallen Inuyasha has been experienced by Kagome as well. I fear for both of them," he sighed as he turned down the slope.
Sango gathered a worried and frightened Shippou into her arms and started to follow the monk, when they both stopped and stared at each other. There was a moment of silence before they both shouted simultaneously: "The jewel!"
"Kagome!" Sango cried. "She didn't-"
"Have the shards with her," Miroku finished for her. "That means that Inuyasha must have them."
"Do you feel that, then?"
"Yes. The aura of the jewel is nearing quickly."
"What if it isn't him?"
"Then we may be in trouble."
'Kagome! Please be there! Please be there!'
He dashed through the trees, weaving between them. He was running faster than he ever had before. Of course, he didn't have a reason to run this fast before either. But he wasn't thinking about that now. His thoughts were completely centered around one thing: Kagome.
Her safety was all that mattered to him, and if she was at all harmed when, if, he found her . . . everyone would suffer for it.
Okay, really crummy end there, but it'll have to do since I'm writing this at almost six in the morning with no sleep.
And now the responses.
Millie M. Banshee: That's happened to me before too! That's why I used to review only anonymously, but some one else started usin' my name too so now its only signed. And sorry if this chapter is too short! I tried to make it a little longer than the others, but I promise you that the last chapter will be twice as long!
Lunatic Pandora1: This is kinda like that one! Shhh! Don't tell! Tee hee!
mirokusgrl: Is there still sugar!? SUGAR!!?? sniffle I ran out of sugar... ... ... sniffle
Serena: You are so lucky! I want a zoid! Sorry about the wait. It was a writer's block and school work combo that got me.
Randomunit02: You are so lucky! I want your mom! And don't worry about that Taken thing. I'm probably gonna wrap this up in another two or three chapters anyway. Five tops.
Sailor Mini Venus: No! You needn't say more! That was enough! Thankies!
kitsunedemon: I am honored to have been the author of the first Sci-fi fiction you read! I feel so special! Ehem. And now, technically, I'm in eighth grade! Ha ha! Ehem again. Anyway. Yes, alas, maturity has snuck up on me. I no longer feel the need to make an idiot of myself in public. sigh But I do make an idiot of myself in school, so I am not completely lost!
Koinu-Chan: Nooooo! Not Barney! I updated! Keep it away! Ahhhhh!
SilverBlood666: Whooo! Yet another hooked! And yet another who can't believe how young I am! Thank you for your compliment! I guess it sounds high school level because of my new writing style, since none of my other stories sound like this.
inuyashafan65: Thank you to you too! Hope you enjoyed this chapter!
And now the update you waited half a year for! Enjoy!
