Previous Chapter:

The sun began to show. Now, the rays of light appeared through the forest nearby. But, the place where the group members were, still remained as dark as ever. The villagers began to wake up, one by one, and go into the fields to work on their crops. However, the group members didn't wake up…for them, time slowed in their dream-reality…each hoping for their nightmares to be over, and wake up with a start.

But it seemed that no matter how much each wanted for the nightmare to end, the nightmare went on and on. No one was allowed to wake up. It was as if the nightmares were to remain forever, and everyone was powerless to stop them.

Demonic Chaos: 500 years to wait

Chapter 7: Realizations

It was daytime already. The villagers were just finishing working in the fields for the day, and everything went "normal." What would you describe as normal would be: protect the village, work in the fields, kill the demons that dare attack the village, go wherever you please, but think of the circumstances and mind your own business.

A part of minding your own business involved not going to the place near the ancient well, where you could feel, practically see, smell and even taste the strong aura of evil. No one dared to go within a mile to where the dark aura lingered. Even a fool that ignores everything didn't step close to the place, for there was a mark in the skies: a dark cloud was hanging around the area. Now, everyone stayed clear of the place for it was considered "cursed." The villagers concluded the if you go into the area, you will meet your doom or come just barely alive. A villager that was considered the bravest, strongest and luckiest of all, and one daredevil of a kind, went to the area. No one knew what happened, but he returned with a terrified, scarred face, mortal wounds, and a scent of burnt flesh. When the villagers asked him to tell what happened to him, he wasn't able to speak, and when he opened his mouth, you could see that his tongue was burned. If there was a chance, it would take months for the injured villager to heal one half of his wounds, even with the strongest remedies.

No one dared to come close to the place then, and no one knew what or who lied within.

Each member of the new formed group or alliance was still having troubled dreams. Each on was either crying, wincing, crying aloud in pain or fear, gasping for air, panting or shivering. No one had a chance to wake up from the horrible nightmare of their own yet, and each nightmare became more and more intense for the dreamer.

Sango was crying out loud in pain. Tears were streaming down her cheeks. The tears were not because of pain-they were because of the sorrow.

---------------------------------------Sango's Dream------------------------------------

"Kohaku!" Sango yelled to her brother. She yearned for her brother to be conscious again, to be himself, but not some contolled zombie. How much she wanted for her brother to return to normal.

Sango wanted to give up. However, she couldn't. She wanted to have revenge. Revenge for all the happiness that was taken away from her, revenge for her brother's lost soul. Also, there was too much at stake. If Sango couldn't stop her brother and died, there was no doubt that he will not stop murdering the other beings: humans and demons alike. Just like Inuyasha in his demonic form, Kohaku would probably not stop killing until he was dead.

She already had some serious wounds. She couldn't move her left shoulder and right arm without pain. She couldn't move anything without pain. Her ribs were almost broken, she had a enormous wound on her knee. She was covered in blood. In fact, so was her brother.

Kohaku was mortaly wounded, but to him, that didn't seem to matter. He moved freely and without showing any signs of pain or struggles of trying to stay conscious and finish the fight by being the victor. His now soulless brown eyes betrayed completely nothing.

Sango looked at her brother that now had a defensive position, waiting for Sango to attack him. She picked up her sword from the ground and began to look at it. The sword was covered with the blood of her brother and blood of her own, blood that was flowing down her arms from her wounded shoulders. Tears began to flow yet again. She cried for the situation she was in, she cried for her lost friends, her lost love, her lost happy ending of a future, her lost brother. Even if she survived the battle between her brother and herself, and even if she didn't kill herself afterwards, she could never be truly happy. She could never be happy at all. She outstretched her hands.

"Kohaku! Please come back to me! Please! I beg you Kohaku! Be your normal self again!" Sango dropped on her knees. Her tears were replaced by heavy sobs. "Please. This isn't how it was supposed to be. No…"

Kohaku took that display as the time for him to attack his crying sister. He withdrew his katana and he ran towards his target.

Sango looked up and saw her approaching brother. Her mind was made up.

She looked up at her brother with sincerity and love in her sad brown eyes. That made Kohaku stop. Sango smiled a sad smile and readied her sword and readied her giant boomerang in order to defend herself.

"I'm sorry little brother." She began to run towards him. Kohaku began to throw attacks at Sango, but she painfully avoided them by moving her Hiraikotsu towards where the attack was landing. With what seemed like forever, the battle was continuing. No one had the upper hand, because Kohaku was good with attacking, but Sango was perfect in the art of defending. Several minutes after, Kohaku tripped. Sango, taking the sign as her chance, soon enough had Kohaku pinned to the ground, and her sword in the middle of his neck.

She looked once more in her brother's eyes. Realization came to her. She shook her head, distributing her tears everywhere. She looked at her brother's now still form again.

"No matter how I try to forget, no matter how hard I try to ignore it. Kohaku," she yelled, not only to her brother, but to her own self, "you have died with our father and the rest of the village. I now see that. You have died, and there is nothing I can do to bring you back. I only can free you. I can free you from this. And I promise, I will try to follow you soon, so that you won't be alone brother. You won't ever be alone!" she raised her sword and forced herself to push it down. When Sango slashed through her brother's neck, something happened that she didn't expect to happen, something that she now wished didn't happen.

Kohaku's eyes were back to normal, and the for the last seconds of his life, he managed a smile. Blood was coming from his mouth and throat, but that didn't seem to matter. "Thank you," was what he managed to say before his eyes were now blank again, for good.

Sango's shocked face was now replaced with pain. She began crying even more. "Kohaku!!!!" she screamed, making everyone and everything hear of her loss. She closed her brother's souless eyes, and looked at the smile that was still on his face. She gathered her brother's body and embraced it.

"Why?" she sobbed. "Why did it end to be like this? Sango began rocking herself along with her brother's body. She cried even more. She did not care if showing too much of the emotion was considered immense weakness for a warrior like her. For now, she just wanted to express her sorrow in any way possible. She felt suddenly cold. She looked around and now saw that night has already taken place. She didn't realize how long she was fighing her brother. What seemed like years only happened to be hours. But hours turn into years when you are fighting someone that you love very much.

She looked at her bloodied attire. She went to the nearby river and cleaned herself and got in a new kimono. Then, she threw her bloodied clothes in a fire that she made not a while ago. She cleaned her love, her friends, her fellow villagers, and her brother. She changed them into their proper, clean clothes and decided to bury everyone the day after. She wanted to look at the people and demons that have touched her heart, the ones that took a piece of her heart and soul with them when each one of them was dead. She wanted to look at them once again and think about all of the precious happy moments that they all shared. She sat by the fire and observed each one of them. There lied Inuyasha, Kagome, Sesshomaru, Rin, Shippo, Kanna, Kagura, Jaken, Kilala, Miroku, and Kohaku. Each one, but Sesshomaru that had his stoic cool mask on even in death, looked peaceful, so peaceful that the person that would've passed and saw them, would've thought that they were asleep. But, Sango knew better. She didn't know what she was supposed to do after she buried her companions and brother. Since Kohaku was controlled, Naraku would probably be alive. And how much Sango wanted to avenge the deaths of the ones that meant the whole world to her. After her revenge, she would be simply one of the dead, and she would join her friends and family.

She was going through some heavy thinking. If she went to destroy Naraku now, it would be like a suicide mission. She needed to train and build new strategies and skills. She also needed to make powerful allies. With her mind made up, she set of to sleep. But before the sleep overtook her consciousness, Sango shed one tear: the tear that she promised to be her last.

-------------------------------------Reality--------------------------

Sango shivered and began to sleep on her other side. But, before she turned, you could see one tear that was following the trail of tears that spilled before, spill. No more tears followed, and the only reminder of the tear was the trail it left behind.

Miroku's terrified face, unexpectedly became calm. Now, on his face was a pained, weak, and a sad smile.

---------------------------------------------Miroku's Dream-----------------------------------

The cursed hole in his hand became bigger and bigger. I was even more painful by each second. Whenever Miroku thought he was going to die from the pain, but not the Wind Tunnel, the pain got a little bit weaker, but it still was strong and it was not gone.

Far away, he could hear Naraku's laughter. Soon enough, the laughter was everywhere around him. It got louder, louder and louder, and soon enough it overpowered the noise that the Wind Tunnel made. Miroku wanted to turn around, but his cursed hand was uncontrolled. Every second, it would absorb something in a different place, it change directions. Because of the unclear mind and the unbearable pain, Miroku was not able to gain the control of his hand.

"Ku, ku, ku, monk. Is this too much for you??? I could make this easier for you: you could accept your death by enduring this pain for eternity, or you could join me. I know that you will be a very powerful ally."

Miroku's pained face was now replaced by anger.

"Never will I join the likes of you! I would rather die that join you!" that was all that Miroku was able to scream, before his pain got even worse.

"So, I see that you have chosen your faith, you will be in even greater pain…forever…"

The pain became even more intense, but Miroku didn't scream. He finally understood his fate: forever be in pain, forever be alone, never die but still be alone. However, he didn't want to join Naraku. Even if Miroku joined him, Miroku wouldn't be in pain, but he would never be happy, for all his happiness was taken away from him. First, his grandfather, then his father and mother and then… 'Sango' a tear shed. That was not because of the pain, but of the heartache. It was always taught to him that strong men are not supposed to cry, not supposed to show any emotion, but the heartache he had, just with the thought of the name, was so great, that the pain in his hand was forgotten.

He fell on the ground, and sadly smiled, thinking of all the happy memories that he had, traveling with the gang, and most of all, Sango. He never really got to the point of telling her, of making her think different of him. Alas, he wanted to tell her when everything was over, when Naraku was dead, and both of them were alive and could live without doubt and fear for the unfortunate death of the other. He wanted things to be stable, where he could know what was going to happen the next day, whether he was going to be alive the next day, not the other way around.

He managed a calm face, and another sad and weak smile, before accepting his fate and getting used to his pain. The only thoughts that now filled his mind were only of Sango. Of all the cherished memories.

---------------------------------------Reality--------------------------------------------

He made an unconscious sign, prepared for his future and what he believed his destiny. He was not going to call on Naraku and join him, he was going to endure all the pain, endure everything that was thrown at him, for he was sure that Naraku would get bored of Miroku's everyday life of that same pain of the same calm face of everything. New obstacles were going to be thrown at him, and he was prepared.

Kilala growled in pain. She was panting heavily and had tension all around her now transformed fire-neko form.

-----------------------------------Kilala's Dream----------------------------------------------

Kilala was now on the run from the demons. She had an injured leg, and one of her paws was destroyed during the battle. She lost one of her two deadly fangs and now she was all covered in blood: the blood of the demons she killed, and the blood that was her own. The fire cat realized that she was slowing down. She tried her best to speed up, but that didn't help much.

Kilala was torn between decision of looking back and not looking back to see how far behind the demons are. However, curiosity got the cat, and she turned around, realizing just how close the demons were. They were just a step behind. The realization struck Kilala-there was no way she was going to make it alive in one piece. But she wasn't going to give up on trying to get away.

"Aaaaaaaahhhhh!!!!!!!!!!"

Kilala heard a piercing scream. She looked at the source from where it came from, and saw two little children now being attacked by the demons that were chasing her not a second earlier. Without a second thought, Kilala launched herself at the demons, and killed them with most of her energy. The children were now safe, and were residing in a tall tree, on the middle branch. Kilala heard roars come from above. She looked up, and to her dismay she saw more than two hundred more demons coming towards her direction. Kirara growled, and almost attacked the demons, when more than fifty arrows of purifying energy stopped her.

She looked at the source, and saw close to seventy mikos. It could be seen that they came from different land and status of training. Their upper attire was the same, but their lower attire was in every color of the rainbow. Kirara decided to join the battle, when more demons came.

Two hours later, the battle was finally over. About twenty mikos were killed and were now carried of by the villagers of the village that was nearby the battle. Kirara was bleeding severely, and was now losing the last of her energy. After walking one more step towards the village with the rest of the mikos, the fire neko collapsed and transformed into her smaller form.

The neko was having her last breaths. Suddenly, it felt cold all around her. She instantly shivered. Then, for her last minutes, she was recalling on what her entire life was of. Mostly killing and battle. But also, trust, friendship, loyalty, and…finally…happiness. She saw an image of Midoriko right before her eyes. No, if there was some other way for Kilala to die, but not meet Midoriko and all the people she met on the journey along with her mistress, she would not have taken it, for the journey taught her many useful things, things that she now cherished while passing away bit by bit into the afterworld. Just before the neko's eyes went blank, and there was no soul left behind in the injured body, a thought coursed through the neko. 'Appreciate whatever you get, for no matter how bad things are, there is always something good in the situation. Never ask yourself on "what if" or "what then," do not waste your time on that, think of all the good things that occurred for you. That, is probably the meaning of life.' With the soul fully out of the body, Kilala's eyes went blank. What lied in store for her soul was not known, but what was known, was that there always will be a journey.

-------------------------------------Reality----------------------------------------

Kilala was now having a peaceful expression on her face. A person that looked at her would have mistook her for dead, unless that person heard soft breaths of the fire-neko's dreamless sleep.

Kagura cried out in pain. She never wanted things to happen the way they did, but somehow, it all was her fault, or it felt like it.

-----------------------------------------Kagura's Dream-------------------------------

"Kanna!" Kagura screamed. Now, Kanna could not be recognized. She had some deep wounds all around her body and her face, blood covered all of her, and she had scars everywhere, the scars that healed and yet not healed. Naraku only laughed and tightened his grip on Kagura's heart.

Kagura didn't show any emotion, however she felt like she was being torn apart inside out. She would not let Naraku get the pleasure of hearing her scream. Instead of screaming, she now looked at where Kanna was. Now, Naraku was carving into her flesh with his knife, trying to get something, yet not getting it. 'The Jewel Shard,' was the thought that she managed to think, before Naraku's expression changed from frustration to an evil smiling face. He quickly got the jewel shard out, and instantly, Kanna's eyes went blank. No soul was left behind.

Kagura felt a sudden pain in her heart, but that did not come from Naraku. She was overwhelmed by her sister's death. It felt like it was all her fault, that she was to blame, and it probably was. 'I should've been there to protect you, sister. I should not have let my guard down.' Kaguray was brought out of her musings when she felt Naraku tighten his grip on her heart.

Somehow, Kagura got into a rage. He killed Kanna, he killed the others, he killed many, and all just because of his selfish desire. Kagura did not like killing, but the fact was that Naraku had to die. Suddenly, Kagura felt the chains around her loosen, and Naraku tighten his grip on her heart even more. She ignored the pain, and made the pain that could not be ignored a part of her strength. 'I am the wind! I will not be in the hold of such a being like Naraku! I am the wind and I will not tolerate this! The wind is my heart!'

She found herself levitating in the air, meeting Naraku with a shocked expression on his features. Somehow, he accidentally dropped the heart, and Kagura's wind picked it up, and now Kagura was whole again. With all of her energy, she directed her ki at Naraku. After she was done, Naraku was wounded badly, but he was still alive.

Kagura collapsed from the loss of energy. She knew that these were her last moments. However, she felt like she was lifted up into the air. The wind was caressing her body, soul, and mind. She finally felt at peace. Maybe, just maybe her and Kanna's souls could find each other, and finally have a happy and peaceful life together. That was Kagura's one and only last request.

--------------------------------------Reality--------------------------------------------

Kagura had a small smile on her face, while she went into a dreamless slumber. Unconsciously, she was levitating through in the air, and soon enough, she was set down gently on the ground with the wind.

Kanna was crying. Her tears never seemed to stop. There was a small whimper, but the tears still followed.

----------------------------------------Kanna's Dream------------------------------------------

Kanna was crying heavily. Naraku's words were taunting her. 'Never meant to be happy' was all that was going through her mind. But, if she was never meant to be happy, how come did she experience such great amount of joy. If it was never meant to be, then it was meant to be none at all, and she was very happy, she used to be. Kanna sadly smiled. 'Everyone is meant to be happy, no matter how bad and cruel they are. They deserve to be happy, or they would have not entered the world of the living. Everyone is meant to be happy, but everyone is meant to be alive, and good, not evil like Naraku. He is still alive and caused such grief to everyone. He is the only one that was not meant to be. Everyone except him deserves to be happy.' Kanna sighed. 'But that would not change anything. Everyone is still dead. But, Naraku has to be stopped. Maybe there is something that I can do to make myself stronger, and I need to get someone to help, which I think would be many, for almost everyone in these lands wants his end. I promise on my sister's and everyone else's grave that I will avenge them.'

Kanna had determination on her face. She slowly stood up and set her sister's body aside. Then, she sat on the ground, and with her bare hands, she began to dig into it. She stopped and looked at the dead group. 'Burying you is the least that I can do for all of you. I wish there was something else, I wish that you all were still alive. But, things don't always happen the way they are wanted to.' With the last smile at the deceased group, Kanna got back to work.

----------------------------------------Reality---------------------------------------

Kanna had a small, sad smile. Things were always tough, and they became even tougher. Maybe that was the meaning of life. Maybe it still is.

Shippo had a terrified expression on his face. He was sweating and panting heavily.

----------------------------------------------Shippo's Dream-----------------------------------

Shippo was barely avoiding the thunder bolts that were thrown at him. He was running for a couple of hours that seemed like ages for now.

He turned around and saw the Thunder Brothers close behind him. That made him unconsciously run faster.

In the background, he could hear Hiten laughing.

"Looks like our punching bag gained speed from when we last saw him. I knew that he understood that we would like to have a chase, now didn't you runt?"

Before Shippo could answer, he jumped up in the air, avoiding that biggest thunderbolt of energy yet.

Shippo turned around, and saw Hiten right on his tail. Manten was following slowly, and very far behind. Shippo formed a small plan in his head. He wanted to test one of the abilities he might have inherited from his father. He suppressed a smile when he dodged another thunderbolt.

Shippo changed directions, and was now running towards Manten.

Hiten just smirked. "So, you want to die that quickly, now don't you runt?" Hiten began to chase after Shippo.

Shippo got out three leaves from his pockets. He screamed, and threw a leaf on Hiten, and then he quickly was close to Manten, and threw a leaf on him. Then, he threw a leaf around himself.

Hiten saw Shippo and readied his thunder bolts, and Manten saw Shippo running towards him, and readied his ball of energy. Those attacks were the most powerful ones they've got, strong enough to wipe out the entire nation, for both of them were annoyed with the little runt.

Hiten was running towards Shippo and threw his strongest thunderbolt at him.

Manten was running towards Shippo, and released his most powerful surge of energy.

Suddenly, both of them were struck with something that was lightening, and both were killed instantly.

From behind a tree, a bush was hopping towards the dead bodies. He looked at Hiten and Manten, or what was left of them. So, his two Shippos and a bush plan worked. He leapt with joy. However, his joy was dissolved, when her remembered about Kagome and Inuyasha.

In thirty minutes of flying, Shippo was now where their soulless bodies lied. He picked each one of them up, and somehow managed to put them on him, and transformed into his giant pink ball thingie form, and was flying towards the village.

He was full of mixed emotions, but he knew one thing-he would not be bothered from the Thunder Brothers ever again. Sadly, he won't be bothered from Inuyasha and Kagome ever again. Tears appeared, but Shippo held them. He would cry later, when he reached the village of Inuyasha's Forest.

----------------------------------------------Reality-----------------------------------------------

Shippo had a sad expression on his face. One tear managed to break away.

Rin was trembling. Small, terrified whimpers could be heard.

------------------------------------------Rin's Dream--------------------------------------

The wolves were gaining closer. However, Rin stood up, and began to run. She avoided all the branches and twigs at all cost, for she did not want to trip again, because she thought that if she did, that would be her last clumsiness.

Rin began running even deeply into the forest. It began to rain. She was far away from the wolves, but not far away for her to slow down. Unfortunately, she tripped, and fell into a puddle of mud. She looked to where the wolves were, and she could see that the rain was slowing them down also.

Somehow, almost unnaturally, the rain stopped. It seemed that everyone was against her. Rin stood up, and began to run even more. She was now covered with mud. That did not stop her, she kept on running, until she managed to trip yet again. She saw the wolves gaining. She had to think of something fast. However, she was wiser than those of her age. Rin advanced a very tall tree, and began to climb it. Soon enough, she was on the tallest branch that could hold her. She did not know of what would happen if the wolves stayed, and surrounded the tree on which she was hiding. But, she would have more time to live. She did not want to die, not yet, and she was going to try to live as long as she could. She began to look down below. Then, she saw the pack of wolves that was hunting her.

They all seemed to be confused. Suddenly, out of nowhere, arrows pierced the wolves' skin. Soon enough, they were all dead, and a group of villagers that Rin knew were from the nearby village came out. Their expressions could not be read. A half of them gathered the wolves, and went north. The other half, went south, probably to bury the villagers that the wolves killed.

Rin let go of the breath she didn't know she was holding. It was finally over. Soon, she fell into a deep slumber on the tree, dreaming of Sesshomaru, Kagome, flowers, and even Jaken.

---------------------------------------------Reality---------------------------------------------

Rin had a small happy smile on her face. Now, it seemed that everything was going to be alright.

Jaken was a dark purple now. He was getting darker and darker, it seemed that he was gasping for air, with the way he was moving his arms, it looked like he was about to reach the surface.

-------------------------------------Toad's Dream-----------------------------------------------

Jaken knew that he could not make it without anymore air. He might be amphibian, but he could not last without air for that long, which what probably was hours, for it seemed like years, no-centuries to him.

He began to surface. He knew that this was a way for suicide, but staying in the water also was suicide. He was getting to be uncomfortable there.

When he surfaces, he saw Sesshomaru, Kagome, and Rin standing with annoyed expressions, staring at him.

Jaken gasped. 'Tis the fist time the master is showing an expression, especially an annoyed look. I thought his smiles were bad…'

"Jaken" Sesshomaru said coolly.

"Y-yes master?"

"I will tell you this the last time, do whatever Kagome and Rin tell you, or you will suffer the most torturous death." Sesshomaru began to walk away. "Is that clear Jaken?"

Jaken gulped. "Y-yes master."

After Sesshomaru left, Kagome and Rin had evil smiles on their faces. The girls looked at each other.

"So…what can we do?" Kagome asked Rin.

Rin squealed. "Flowers!!! Get us some flowers!!!"

'This shouldn't be too hard.' Jaken thought.

"Alright, I would get you flowers. What kind of flowers, and where are those flowers?"

Kagome smirked. "Get us roses of white, red, black, orange, and blue. Get those to us in an hour."

(A/N: I saw the red, white, black, and orange roses…but I don't know if there's a blue one…)

Jaken suddenly panicked. "But each one of the white, red, black, and orange roses are in different lands!!!!"

Kagome and Rin looked at each other, and looked at Jaken with an annoyed expression.

"Well, you better get moving."

Jaken was about to go, but he felt some chains being placed on his shoulders. He turned around, and saw something that was like a box with four wheels linked to the chains. Kagome and Rin got into the box, and Kagome flicked the chains.

"We are going with you, or riding on you, so that you will not pick us any bad flowers. You have one hour Jaken, so better get moving, or I'll tell Sesshomaru…so…gettiup horsie!" Kagome flicked the chains again, and the shock stricken Jaken felt it this time. He knew what he had to do. He began to run, trying to avoid any bumps on the path, because every time the cart moved a bit out of place, the girls complained about telling Sesshomaru. And Jaken did not want his master to find out. He felt the chains dig into his skin. Those were not ordinary chains-they were chains with spikes, so…of course they'd dig in his skin. Jaken's scream was silenced by Kagome's and Rin's joyful, carefree laughs.

----------------------------------------------Reality---------------------------------------------

Jaken whimpered in pain. And he thought that staying underwater was torture. Maybe he shouldn't have come out…poor toady….

Inuaysha was panting heavily and sweating. He was wincing from what would be identified as pain.

----------------------------------------Inuyasha's Dream--------------------------------

"Aaaaahhh!!!" Kikiyo!!! Kagome!!! Can't we speak about this???" Inuyasha barely dodged two purifying arrows that were launched at him. 'Damn…those arrows keep coming and coming….aren't they ever going to out?'

The girls looked at each other "NO!!!! Inuyasha, you should have decided before!"

Kikiyo sadly smiled. "I do not want to be considered as a dead person you are indebted to, Inuyasha! I have emotions also!"

Kagome nodded. "And I do not want to be considered as the second best anymore. Cant you see that I am my own person?"

Both girls launched two arrows on him. One of Kagome's arrows pierced through his chest, and one of Kikiyo's arrows pierced through his leg. Then, he did something that he did not expect himself to do. He tripped…and broke one of his claws….

"Damn! I broke a claw!!!!"

"Ahem" he heard two voices say at once. He looked up, and saw two arrows pointed at his heart.

Kikiyo and Kagome looked at each other again and nodded. "Any last words?" they both said at once.

Inuyasha sheepishly smiled. " I love you?"

Kagome rolled her eyes. "Yeah, Inuyasha, me too, but…no…"

Inuyasha looked at Kikiyo with puppy dog eyes, with the quivering lip.

Kikiyo sighed. "Inuyasha, you look completely ugly with those widened eyes and that lip. Oh, and by the way, your saliva is now on your haori."

Inuyasha looked at his haori. 'Damn…should've made the eyes smaller…that trick never worker for me…It's not fair!!!' he looked up and saw the arrows gaining their purifying energy. 'oh boy.'

-------------------------------------------Reality---------------------------------------------

Inuyasha shivered. He had an expression as if he was going to cry. Anyone who would have seen him at that moment, would've thought of a poor lost puppy.

Sesshomaru was growling. Now, his eyes were opened. If anyone looked into them, they would've seen them fully red.

-----------------------------------------------Sesshomaru's Dream-------------------------------

Sesshomaru attacked Naraku again. Both of them were extremely wounded, but their battle was the battle to death. Sesshomaru lost his left arm, while Naraku lost a part of his stomach and chest and foot. He was not able to heal himself, because of the poison that Sesshomaru used in his deadly poison claws. The poison was slowly eating Naraku alive.

Sesshomaru was about to attack Naraku again, when Naraku disappeared. "Cowardly bastard." Was the only thing Sesshomaru said, before he went to check on Rin.

The little girl awoke, and now she was staring at Kagome's soulless body. Seeing and not seeing.

"Kagome…chan…" the little girl collapsed. Sesshomaru went to her, and realized that the little girl was dead. He then saw her puddle of blood. Sesshomaru's eyes got red. 'I should've sensed it. I could've saved her.' He gathered the two soulless bodies to his chest and calmly sat down, observing the trees.

The trees moved strongly to the right. However, Sesshomaru felt no wind. He felt no sign of it. The trees moved to the right again, which looked with the same force, but still, Sesshomaru felt no wind. His hair and hair of the deceased girls moved, but he felt no wind. 'That's impossible.' He then remembered his conversation with himself.

'Perhaps this is a dream after all.' He calmly thought. 'Now all I need is to wake up…or have someone or something wake me up…'

--------------------------------------------Reality------------------------------------

Sesshomaru's angry face was now replaced with a face that was calm and of self control. It looked like he was waiting, and he was.

Kagome had a sad and a determined expression on her face. It was also troubled, for she did not know what the outcome for her would be.

------------------------------------------------Kagome's Dream-------------------------

Kagome looked at Naraku with hate, making Naraku almost shiver…almost…He gave Kagome and evil smile.

"So, my little miko, do you not wish to join me? We could rule together….with the power of the shikon no tama of course….we could be live forever and rule forever, do you not wish for such pleasure?"

Kagome shook her head. "No, Naraku, I'm not a greedy, hateful bastard like you are…I do not wish for such things…All I ever wished for was a normal life, but look where I end up? I end up here, with a kind, nice and good natured person like you…you should go to heaven…I am sure that the angels would be overjoyed to have you…they'll just love you…."

Naraku's eyes burned with rage, while he smiled a small smile. "Why, I am glad that you think so….I believe that you should live forever, here with me….if angels would like to have me, wouldn't you? Since you are one?"

Kagome smiled a bitter smile. "No, you are to good and too kind for me….absolutely perfect….I do not deserve such a person like you…I deserve worse….and living forever gets to be tiring…you should know that…you're over 50 years…people die every day…and when you can do nothing to stop their deaths, it might get boring…can you not relate, my kind lord?" Kagome fired a ball of her purifying energy from her hand.

Naraku was not able to dodge it, and it burnt his shoulder. "Why you bitch! You should die, just like Kikiyo did those 50 years ago! Die and rot in hell!!! After all, you are her reincarnation…"

Kagome's eyes were full of burning rage. "Such kind words! But remember this, I am not Kikiyo!!!"

Naraku began to close in on Kagome. Kagome yelled. "I AM NOT KIKIYO!!!" When Naraku was able to touch Kagome, she released all of the purifying energy that she had.

---------------------------------------Reality----------------------------------------

Kagome released her purifying energy. Soon, the entire area was surrounded by a pink light, the purifying energy was throughout the entire forest. However, it did not purify the demons in it. Kagome stirred, and fell into a dreamless slumber.

Sesshomaru awoke when he felt something stir in his arms. He opened his eyes and saw the sunlight. He then looked at Kagome and saw the pink around her sleeping form. He smiled a small smile. Sesshomaru looked at the rest of the group, everyone was asleep, peacefully. He stood up, and put his pelt around Kagome, and went to check on the Western Lands that were to any normal youkai 3 days away, but with his speed, it would take him one and a half hours. He was off to patrol his lands. However, his words remained in the forest where the group resided.

(A/N: I know I put in the last chapter the furry thing on Sesshomaru's shoulder as a tail, but now I am changing it to a pelt)

"Perhaps this was a dream after all."

Thank you all for all of your reviews!!! They help me find time of day so I can get to update!!!!! Plus, here are some questions for the readers:

Questions for the Readers:

Updating-since my school started about two months ago, I get to have less free time for updating the stories…so…I'm considering between reviewing at least once a month with a long chapter or updating maybe once in two to four weeks with really short chapters…so…this is for you to decide…most votes will be the final decision.

A lot of you are Kikiyo haters…so…I'm thinking about what I should to with Kikiyo the choices are:

a-kill her

b-give her her life back

c-other

-That is all for you to decide!


Well, please review, and I'll try to update ASAP!!! Ja ne for now!!!
