Inuyasha's Nightmare

Inuyasha awoke on a field. He was on a very high branch of tree.

"Where the heck am I?" I asked no one in particular.

Woo...the breeze blew softly. The field was deserted. No one was in sight. Inuyasha couldn't find the scent of his companions or other humans.

But one scent was in the air. The scent was not far. It was oddly familiar to Inuyasha yet he couldn't put a finger on it. Inuyasha sniffed the air and followed the scent of civilization. After walking about 15 minutes, Inuyasha had traced the smell to a cherry blossom tree. A maiden in priestess clothes was sitting behind the blooming tree. Her raven hair swayed softly as the wind blew through them. The woman was no other than Kikyo.

"Ki...Kikyo?" Inuyasha stammered.

"Are you surprised to see me? I've been waiting for you for a while now."

"Waiting? For me? What's going on here? Tell me!" Inuyasha shouted.

Kikyo said nothing. All she did was stare at the questioning hanyou.

"Where's Kagome and the others?" he shouted loud.

Kikyo's eyes filled with sadness and hatred.

"You...love...that girl? You said you wanted to be with me for eternity! Inuyasha, you said you will always love me! I see no love! Why is this girl so important?! Why Inuyasha? You wanted to be with me forever, you promised. Keep that promise Inuyasha. Come with me. Be with me. We can be forever together again in hell. Our bond will not break. Inuyasha. I loved you. And you loved me. Please come with me Inuyasha. We can be together again." Kikyo cried. She embraced him, which shocked Inuyasha.

Inuyasha did love Kikyo. But he also has feelings for Kagome.

"Kikyo..."Inuyasha finally spoke. "I do love you. But I also love Kagome and..."

Kikyo broke off the sentence. She stepped away from him. "Is that girl truly more important to you than me? Why Inuyasha? I loved you!" The priestess yelled.

"Kikyo... I love you both. But Kagome is with me now. You are dead. You are just a clay body mixed with the ashes of my once lover. Kagome is the one I love now..." Inuyasha's own words tore him apart. He still does love Kikyo. But what about Kagome? He didn't want to choose between them but his words were true.

"I know that I am but a clay shell. But we can still be together. Just come with me to hell."

"No." Inuyasha spoke. "No. Kikyo, if you do love me, you will let me stay here with Kagome. I had moved on. And you should too."

Kikyo's eyes grew wide. Her eyes showed that she was in rage.

"I will not move on till you come with me to hell!"

Kikyo steadied her bow and arrow ready to pierce Inuyasha.

"KIKYO!" Inuyasha screamed.

"Die..." The maiden whispered aloud.

As the arrow was about to strike, Kagome appeared in front of Inuyasha, shielding him. The arrow shot her above the heart. But it affected her. She coughed up so blood and splattered bits of crimson blood on the grass. Kagome fell on her knees. She turned her head to face Inuyasha. Kagome smiled weakly. "I love you Inuyasha..."she whispered.

"KAGOME!" Inuyasha screamed. Small glistening tears slid down the side of his face. The small tears dripped on Kagome's uniform. He held her in his arms protectively. The girl he now loved was gone.

Kikyo's laughter filled the silent air.

"If you cannot love me, no one can. If I must suffer in sadness and hatred, so will you."

Kagome's body glowed in Inuyasha's arm. Her body dissolved into glowing beige lights. They floated away and landed on Kikyo's side. The glowing particles formed into the shape of Kagome's standing form. The particles then transformed into Kagome. Her eyes were duller than usual. Both mikos held a bow and arrow. They prepared to fire and aimed at the dog demon.

"Die Inuyasha!" The young women called. They prepared to fire.

"No... this can't be real. Kagome will never kill me! This is a dream!" He screamed.

Inuyasha relived what he said. Naraku's spell. This is the spell he put on us...

Inuyasha's body glowed and disappeared as the arrows where about to take impact on his body.

Naraku's Mansion

A red jewel with a strand of Inuyasha's hair cracked.

"Hmm? The foolish hanyou escaped from the nightmare realm? Well, let' see if he can rescue his dear friends." Naraku crackled.
