Hey guys thanks for reading. Here's Chapter 2. I hope you guys have enjoyed it so far.

Kagome watched the fish nibble at her toes. She threw her long black hair over her shoulder and sighed. lifting her head she gazed at the dragonflies dancing across the water. She sighed and began thinking about her most recent nightmare.

The meadow she was walking in was full of wildflowers and the sun softly glowed in the cloudless azure sky. She watched as Shippo and Kilala chased yellow butterflies through the field. Sango and Miroku were walking ahead of her.

Miroku was up to his usual tricks and Sango was preparing to knock his head off his shoulders. Kagome was aware of Inuyasha beside her and could smell his scent on the breeze. She took a deep breath and sighed contentedly.

Inuyasha turned his head toward her his silver hair cascading down his shoulders. He gazed at her with those molten amber eyes that so captivated her. He smiled and gently took her hand in his.

Suddenly the sky grew dark and ominous. The darkness swallowed her friends. She could no longer see or hear any of them. The only one still with her was Inuyasha. He thrust her behind him as if to try to protect her from some unseen enemy.

She looked on terrified as a hole opened up beneath Inuyasha and he fell. She managed to grasp his hand before he disappeared entirely into the dark void but could not hold his weight. He turned his amber eyes to her.

Looking deep into her brown eyes he begged her not to let go but his hand was slipping from her grasp. She lost her grip and he fell down into the black abyss. The last sight of him she was able to catch were his eyes full of fear and sorrow.

She cried out and then collapsed at the edge of the hole sobbing. Her breath caught in her throat as she felt Naraku's presence behind her. "Priestess give in. I always get what I want. You cannot possibly stand against my power. Come to me. Come and give up the shards and I shall spare your friends."

Kagome shivered even though the morning sun was warm . The dream had felt so real. She looked around her half expecting to see Naraku appear and come for her.

She had been having more or less the same nightmare for about three nights straight now. She always woke up drenched in sweat and trembling. At first Kagome had thought about telling someone but she had long since talked herself out of it.

Miroku might be interested at first but he would probably just say that she had an overactive imagination. Inuyasha would just tell her she was being stupid and Sango had enough to worry about with her brother Kohaku being under Naraku's control. It would just scare Shippo out of his wits if she told him and Kilala couldn't give her any advice.

No, she had to try to deal with this on her own. She stood and gazed at the sun noting its position in the sky. " I've been gone for awhile." Kagome said out loud. The sound of her own voice comforted her. Better start back before they all start to worry she thought, inwardly scolding herself for staying away for so long.

Kagome started back to the campsite savoring the feel of the cool grass beneath her bare feet. She had walked about a quarter of the way back when she heard whimpering. Kagome stopped in her tracks and listened to the noise. She decided it was coming from some berry bushes about twenty feet to her left.

Kagome gazed at the bushes listening to the noise. "Hello someone there?" she called out softly. She slowly made her way over to the bushes and crouched down. She heard a low growl. Kagome jerked back frightened for a second.

Don't be stupid Kagome thought berating her self for being frightened. She gently pushed back the branches of the bush and saw something small and furry. Suddenly the things claws shot out and raked her arm.

Kagome yelped in pain and fell backwards as the thing advanced on her hissing and growling. It was a small catlike creature only about a quarter of her size. It was covered in tabby colored fur. It had cat ears and whiskers also paws and yet it also had some human characteristics in its body structure.

Kagome stared at it noticing it was hurt badly. Its left hind leg was bloodied and laid open to the bone. It also had blood running down its belly from a gash in its left side. Kagome watched it its breath coming in shuttering gasps its chest rising and falling rapidly as it seemed to gasp for air.

That last attack had thoroughly exhausted it she realized. Poor little guy she thought. "It's okay little guy." Kagome cooed to it. "I won't hurt you. I only want to help." Kagome slowly stretched her hand out to it. The baby looked at her its icy blue eyes seemed to look through her rather than at her. She watched as the fear in its eyes was slowly replaced by curiosity.

It mewed softly and shuffled carefully over to her. It's nose sniffed at her hand. Kagome laughed because it's whiskers tickled. "There you go little guy. That's a good kitty. Come on now follow me." She picked herself up off the ground and turned. She began walking back toward the stream slowly, confident that the baby would follow.

Kagome walked a few feet then looked back over her shoulder. The kitten was indeed limping after her carefully placing its feet so as not to put to much pressure on its injured leg. Curiously it walked on all fours like a cat. He must be a demon she thought to herself. He has a lot of human characteristics so perhaps he is a hanyou like Inuyasha.

"Inuyasha" she said out loud stopping in her tracks. "Oh no I forgot about the others!" Kagome cried. The baby demon behind her mewed pitifully. She turned to it and sighed. "Oh well they'll have to wait." She declared. "First things first I had better take care of those wounds."

With that statement she smiled at the little kitten and turned back towards the stream, the strange cat creature following her slowly.

So how was that? Well that finishes Chapter 2. Thanks to all who read and bothered to submit a review. I appreciate it. You guys are so great! Chapter 3 will be up soon.
