(A/N: Got some good reviews so far...so here it is!)

-

Before..........

She felt herself being pulled into the van. She struggled to get away; she kept kicking and tried as hard as she could to make them let her go. But it was no use.

She wanted to run.

To get away.

She wanted to be back in the feudal era.

'I want Inuyasha to tell me it's all a bad dream.'

Chapter 2: Trapped

Looking back from the window of the van, she saw her mother hiding her face in her grandpa's shoulder breakdown into tears.

'Mom. Why don't you believe me?' Kagome thought with tears leaked down her face. 'I'm not crazy....'

The van was cold. Maybe it felt that way because she was in a very light nightgown. She rubbed her arms hoping to get some warmth in return.

She sighed 'What happened?

Try to think back. Where was I? What was I doing before I went to sleep?.......Was it all just a dream? No! It was just so.....so real.'

'Everyone I've met.'

'Shippo, the small orphan kitsune.'

'Miroku, the lecherous monk who was cursed to a wind tunnel in his right hand.'

'Sango, the demon slayer whose brother and father were killed right before her eyes.'

'They were my best friends..'

'Kikyo, the tragic priestess, who had died once, and came back with a body made of clay. Who tried to kill Inuyasha and me. Who stole our shards of the shikon jewel-'

It was then she realized 'That's why I didn't pass! I didn't have my jewel shards! But where are they? Could Inuyasha have taken them again?'

"Inuyasha." She started breathing harder and harder and then broke into tears after saying his name. How could she forget, 'The hanyou who I unsealed from a tree. And what I got from it in return was an arrogant, self-absorbed, rude, pig-headed, guy who I have come to love so much......Where are you?'

She felt the van stop and the doors were open to her. One of the men grabbed her hand while another walked along side her. She was led into the large building in front of them.

She decided not to ask any questions because she knew that they would continue to ignore her as they did before.

They walked through the halls of the building Kagome looked to both of the men. They were dead quiet. As if they would be punished if they even said a word to her.

Where they afraid?.....of her?

'Why would I scare them?' then Kagome thought 'Maybe I could use that to my advantage or....No! I don't want people to be afraid of me. I never meant anyone to.' She then looked down to the tile floor.

After taking the elevator to the thirteen floor, she was led to room 666. "Wow, I feel so lucky." Kagome let out a sarcastic remark.

The two men thought nothing of what she said as one unlocked the door.

It opened and one of the men motioned her to go in.

She entered the room.

The room was so....white. There was a small bed laying on the far right corner and the walls were all cushioned.

As she looked at her new home, she failed to notice the door close behind her.

She reacted drastically and tried to open the door.

It was locked from the outside.

She couldn't get out.

She was trapped.

A prisoner.

She lay there sleeping.

And awoke on....grass? There was sunlight. Flowers. It was beautiful, but how did she get out of the asylum?

'Who? What? Where am I?' Kagome got up and looked around completely bewildered.

"Kagome!" called out to her.

Kagome turned around to see "Sango!" she saw her friend run up to her.

"Kagome, it's so good that you're here! I was afraid that we'd never see you again." Sango smiled happily then hugged her best friend.

"Oh Sango, it's good to see you too." Kagome said while she was hugging her "I thought I'd never-"

"Sango?" a masculine voice cut her off "I'm not Sango."

She got out of the hug to see that it wasn't Sango anymore. "M-Miroku?"

"Yes, Kagome?" he answered.

"I thought that you were-....But wasn't I-?..." Kagome was completely confused now.

"I know you're confused, but I have no time to explain to you." He smiled "It's just good to see you."

"I've missed you guys so much."

"As have we." He hugged her.

"I would have come back, but I can't find them."

"So should I help look for them?" a child's voice asked.

"Huh?" Kagome then noticed that Miroku's hair was now orange. "Shippo?"

"Hi, Kagome!" he replied.

"Shippo, what's going on? I'm really confused!" She looked to the ground "No one knows who you guys are anymore and my mom, she-she-"

"She doesn't want you to know." A familiar male voice said.

Kagome lifted her head up to see "Inuyasha?"

"In the flesh....well, not really."

"What do you mean?"

"Kagome, this is only a dream. All of us took turns talking to you here. It's the only way we can through to you."

"So why can't you go through the well?"

"Why can't you?!" he shot back.

"I-I just can't!" She said with her face falling a little "I don't know where the jewel shards are."

"You-you what?!"

"I'm sorry! I don't know what happened!" she yelled "I woke up in my room and the next thing I know my mom has sent me to this-"she stopped talking when she noticed that there was something wrong "Inuyasha, you're hand....it's-it's dissolving!"

"What?!" he looked down and saw that he was slowly fading away from all ends; to his feet to his finger tips. "Kagome!" he tried to reach his hand out to her, but it was almost gone.

"Inuyasha!" she cried out to him.

"Kagome, I have to tell you something! It's very important! This place and everyone, we're-"he was gone before he could finish.

"Inuyasha." She said with a tear running down her face. "Inuyasha!!" she cried out to the heavens.

"Miss Higurashi! Miss Higurashi!!" she heard a voice.

Someone was shaking her shoulder to wake her up. She opened her eyes to see a woman in white above her that was in her forty's. It was a nurse who worked at the hospital. That meant that she was back. She was still in the same white room in the same white bed. 'It hasn't even been one night here, and I'm already becoming delusional.' She got up right in bed and wiped her sweaty forehead. 'No! It was Inuyasha! And he was trying to tell me something, but what was it?'

"Miss Higurashi?"

"W-What?" she answered in a sort of groggy tone.

"Miss Higurashi, you were having a nightmare. And you were disturbing the others along with you." The nurse explained.

"But, Inuyasha.....is he-?"

"Yes, yes, Inuyasha. Now just go back to sleep." The nurse said not paying attention to her as she covered Kagome up with her covers. "I'm sure it was just a dream. Just tell yourself it's not real and it will all go away." She reassured her.

"But he's real!"

"Now, Miss Higurashi, demons do not exist in this world and they never did. Now please go back to sleep. You need it as much as everyone else."

Kagome sighed. 'No one believes me. Of course, why would they? I'm in the nuthouse after all!'

The nurse was about to leave the room, that's when Kagome spoke up.

"When am I going to see the doctor?"

The nurse turned around and smiled at her "Dr. Wiley has made an appointment to see you at two pm tomorrow."

"Oh." Kagome replied "Thank you."

"Anytime, dear." The nurse said as she turned to walk out the door "All you have to do is ask." Then she was out.

(A/N: Sorry it took so long to update! I was overall lazy and vacationing this summer, but now it's back to work! I'm also sorry that this chapter was so sort. The next one should be longer though.
