Chapter Thirteen-Nightmare

Kagome ran, sweat falling from her face, tears rolling down her cheeks, and fear in her heart. Something was chasing her, and it wouldn't rest until it saw her dead.

She was running through Tokyo, past people, around buildings and across the streets. She was afraid to die, and no one was there to save her.

She crashed into a man, and she looked up at his face. Her breath left her and she fell backwards on her butt. "Armon..." she breathed, her voice shuddering, her hands shaking.

He looked down at her, then walked around her as if he didn't see her. 'Didn't he know I was running for a reason,' Kagome thought, terrified at the thought that he didn't care. She got up again, feeling that evil presence again. She started to run once again, and looked behind her.

There it was, and she knew who it was.

"Naraku..." she breathed, turning her head to look in front of her, dodging people as she rushed by to get to her home. If she made it there in time, she could go down the Bone Eaters well and see Inuyasha. He would protect her. He wouldn't let Naraku have her.

She saw her steps, and she began to run up them, her legs feeling numb, and she was afraid she would fall over before she made it up. Shocking herself, she made it up. She gave herself a few moments to catch her breath, and then she took off towards the well.

Sliding the door open, she skipped the steps and jumped right down to the well, and jumped into it. The light shone bright around her, and she gently landed on the soft soil. Kagome saw vines, and used them to climb up. Steadying herself at the edge once she made it to the top, she took a deep breath. She was free. Now all she had to do was find Inuyasha.

"About time you showed up, wench."

She looked up and saw Inuyasha standing in front of her, a sly grin on his face. "Inuyasha!" She cried and ran to him. She wrapped her arms around him, but he pushed her away.

"What the hell are you doing, wench?" He demanded, stepping away from her.

"Inuyasha, Naraku is after me," she said, walking towards him but he kept walking away from her. "Please, help me Inuyasha."

"Why should I help you?" He demanded. "He's your lover, why do I have to stop him?"

"He's not my lover, Inuyasha. I love you."

"That's what you used to say, but you chose Naraku when he promised to let you live forever and not harm me. You took his offer without even regretting it. Or are you having problems remembering?"

"I would never do that, Inuyasha!"

"You did! And it's too late to change your mind now! You're Naraku's mate!"

"You can't prove that!"

"Touch the back of your neck, tell me what's there," Inuyasha said, and it sounded like it hurt him to say it.

Kagome touched the back of her neck and felt two bumps there. She gasped, "no! I didn't want this! Inuyasha! I love you!"

"It's too late Kagome!" Inuyasha shouted. "You've chosen who you want to spend the rest of your life with, why keep me in it?"

Kagome shook her head, pleading, begging, tears rolling down her face. "I don't love him!"

"Who cares about love when you're bound together for eternity?"

Kagome turned around and saw Naraku walking up towards her. A smile was on his dark lips, and she backed away from him, yet she knew she could not run from him. "No, it can't be true."

He nodded and pulled her close to him. She tried to fight back, pull away from him, do anything that she possibly could to get away from him. "Kagome, my love, you can not escape me, and you know it."

She screamed. He pressed his lips against her neck, and the two bumps burned like fire. She screamed and tried to move, but her body was frozen. He rubbed his lips on her neck, holding her so close to his own body.

Kagome looked at Inuyasha, tears rolling down her face, begging, pleading for him to help save her. He just turned and walked away from her.

"NO!!" Kagome shouted. "INUYASHA!"

Kagome awoke with a start, sweat falling from her face, tears rolling down her cheeks. She touched her heart, feeling its beating speed up.

"A dream... it was all a dream..." she whispered. She looked at herself in the mirror across from her bed. "But... why am I dreaming about this?"

She touched the back of her neck, and felt two bumps there.
