Chapter 12 the dream

Kagome went to school the following morning, her hair in a messy ponytail, red patches under her eyes and tear stains trailing down her cheeks. It was obvious that she refused to sleep for the remainder of last night for she feared that she would have that dream again, and she was crying on account for Kouga's words to her.

"Kagome, what happened?" Sango asked,

"I-its nothing, I'm fine" she lied. Sango and Kikyo didn't buy it and they pulled her over into an empty classroom much to her displeasure.

"No, your not," Kikyo said, "What's going on?"

Kagome sighed, they were gonna bug her until she cracked. "I-I had a dream last night, a-about Kouga—"

"What? It's been two months now, forget about that guy"

"He told me he still loves me and he'll do anything he can to get me back, even if it means to kill me or—or Sesshomaru" she let an unwanted sob escape her lips and a few tears escaped her eyes.

"Kagome are you sure, I mean, is that really true?" Sango asked she believed her friend but that dream sounded way to incredulous.

"Do you think I'd make this up?!"

"No, its not that, its just—I mean its bean two months since Kouga's death." Kikyo tried to reason with her

"I know" she sat down and put her head in her hands.

"So your saying he might just come back?"

"Either that or he brings me with him" Kagome managed to say

"Kagome?" Sango asked

"Yeah?"

"Have you had any sleep last night?"

"Not after that dream"

"C'mon lets get you to the nurse." The girls said then helped her to stand.

Sesshomaru walked through the front doors of the school in all his glory (then tripped and landed face first in the crowded hallway) the smell of a distraught Kagome invaded his nose. He looked around then saw Kagome's friends helping her out of a classroom, she was crying. He walked up to them,

"What happed to her?" he demanded

"Sesshomaru!" Kagome threw herself on her boyfriend then held him in a death grip sobbing into his shirt.

"What's going on?" he asked again

"Kouga came to her in a dream last night—"Kikyo began uncertainly

"But he's dead"

"We know. He also told her that he'd do what ever in his power to get her back, even if it means to kill her or-or you" she said remembering the words correctly to make sure she didn't piss him off more than need be.

"What do you mean by that statement?" he asked dangerously slow

"He's planning on either coming back or bringing Kagome with him" Sango interjected, she didn't like the look Kikyo was getting.

The two girls looked up into Sesshomaru's normally calm face to see all hell breaking loose. Sesshomaru picked up the sobbing Kagome into his arms, spun on his heels and walked swiftly back out of the school. Sango and Kikyo looked at each other then ran to catch up with Sesshomaru and followed closely behind him, they wanted to help Kagome in anyway possible, and they also want a reasonable excuse to skip school.

Inuyasha walked into the building just in time to see them pass, he stopped Sango.

"What's going on?"

"I'll tell you later" she said then hurried up to Kikyo.

Sesshomaru drove to Kagome's house, he brought her up to her room and laid her on the bed.

"I want you two to stay with her, make sure she gets some sleep, do everything you can even if it means to drug her or knock her out yourselves. Got that?" he ordered

The two nodded then went to Kagome's bedside to try to persuade her to sleep. Sesshomaru went back down to his car and sped off.

After fifteen minutes of swerving through traffic, he parked in front of a midnight blue mansion that reeked of Nakaru (hmm I wonder who would live there?). He stormed into the house totally ignoring maid and butlers yelling at him to leave. He found Naraku sitting in the parlor.

"Sesshomaru, I've been waiting," he said

"What have you done to my girlfriend?" he growled calmly (can you even do that?)

"I have done nothing to your... girlfriend"

"You corrupted that damned wolf's mind and now she's terrified to even sleep"

"And how, prey tell, did I corrupt the wolf? Isnt he dead?"

"Listen to me you damned yeoren!, I don't know what your planning but I will find out, and when I do. I'll destroy you" Sesshomaru said dangerously low and calm. He spun on his heels and stormed back out; sending death glares to the various maids and butlers who were there. Naraku chuckled menacingly.

"You have no idea Sesshomaru, and when you find out it'll be too late"

He arrived at Kagome's house and ran up to her room, something just didn't feel right. He saw Kikyo and Sango looking worriedly at each other, both knowing what the others thinking.

"Ok, what's going on?" he asked them

"its Kagome, she's been thrashing on the bed for fifteen minutes now" Kikyo said shakily

"So why don't you wake her up?" he asked as if it was the most obvious thing in the world, which it probably was.

"we tried, but whenever we try to get close were pushed away by some force field that's around her." Sango said

Sesshomaru looked worriedly over at Kagome's thrashing form.

Dream state

Kagome was standing on the roof of the school with a shocked/pained/sad expression on her face. She was watching a duel to the death between Sesshomaru and the new kid.

"STOP IT!" she yelled terrified, but the request fell on deaf ears. The new kid drew a sword from a hidden sheaf on his back Sesshomaru formed his poison whip. Both were getting ready for the final stage of the battle.

"How dare you touch my woman!" was heard from the dude over the clashing of weapons.

"She's is not your woman and will never be, your acting as if she's some toy to play with!" Sesshomaru retorted angrily

The dude growled then sliced Sesshomaru across the chest.

This human is getting on my nerves Sesshomaru thought with a growl. He used his youki speed and got behind the dude. He dug his claws into the guys back; they came out the other side. The guy fell on his knees clutching his chest and yelling in pain.

"You will pay Sesshomaru!!" he ground out through pain, and then in one swift movement he swung his sword behind him...

End dream state

"Sesshomaru!!" Kagome shot up out of her bed, a thin layer of cold sweat on her face, she looked around wildly, seeing she was in her room and that it was only a dream, she curled into a tight ball and began crying all over again.

tbc...

I really need to stop torturing her like this...
