Author's note: This chapter is going to be kind of weird, but then again, when aren't my chapters weird? Anyways, hope you enjoy this chapter like you did the last one.


Second Nightmare

Kagome, Rin, and Sango sat in their pajamas on the floor of Kagome's room. They giggled at the TV screen and chewed on the candy and popcorn. They were having an all girls night. Noticing that Rin and Sango were intent on the screen, Kagome allowed herself to daydream. Kagome had one more week until she had to go home. She groaned feebly. She didn't want to go, since she had already gotten to know InuYasha better.

She sighed happily. Last week was incredible. She had gone to the beach with InuYasha, Rin, Sango, Sesshomaru, Miroku, Koga, and Ayame. Ayame and Koga had snuggled into a corner and had chatted, Sango and Miroku went around, Sesshomaru and Rin went to the food stands, and Kagome and InuYasha were the only ones who actually went swimming.

They had also went to the movies and had watched White Chicks. And after that all of them (except Sesshomaru and Koga) had went around saying things like: I am so freaking pissed, Oh my gosh! I'm going to have a BF, or something along the lines of that. It was hilarious.

Kagome leaned happily back into the beanbag chair and grinned at the screen. They were now watching Shark Tale and it was also funny. Kagome grinned as the cute little fishies danced. The window behind Kagome shattered.


Rin screamed as glass shards showered her and then felt something warm engulf her. She was about to scream again but then realized that it was just Kagome, and not some kidnapper. Sighing Rin looked up at Kagome, who had let go of her and was now in a low fighting stance. Kagome looked shocked.

"Kikyo?"

Rin looked over to the so called Kikyo and gaped. She looked like Kagome. Rin stared back at Kagome to make sure she wasn't hallucinating. Then it hit her. Her worst nightmare was coming true. A new raid has begun.


Kagome gaped at Kikyo some more until she realized that Kikyo was holding a gun. She stood protectively in front of Rin. If Kikyo shoots, she was going to take the bullet. Suddenly in the corner of her eye she saw InuYasha open the door with an angry face on and then glanced over at Kikyo. His mouth dropped. He disappeared back into his room. Kagome gaped at him. Jerk, coward, just leaving me here to die...

But somehow, Kagome knew, he was going to be back.


InuYasha went over to his closet with quick agility and yanked the key from his chain. He opened the closet door and gagged at the musty odor. However, even though the air was dank and moldy the guns and knives were all intact. His eyes skimmed over all the assortments and he glanced at the biggest gun, which was about a meter long.

He grabbed three small guns and one sharp pocket knife. Then he went back into Kagome's room.


InuYasha barged into Kagome's room, and took Kikyo off guard, as he had intended to do. Kagome grinned slightly at InuYasha but was shocked out of her daze when he threw Sango and her each a small gun. She looked it over but then let it rest comfortably in her palm. He had also taught her how to shoot.

Suddenly, InuYasha's voice cam to her. "Get the fuck out of here, and take care of Rin."

Kagome nodded, but InuYasha called to her again. "And Kagome, be careful." He then turned around to face Kikyo, who looked shocked.

Sango grabbed Kagome's hand and dragged her out of the room. As they got out Sango looked at Kagome. "Lets go to Miroku's room. He should be able to help us."

Kagome nodded and scooped Rin up, so that they could run faster. They began running and was halfway there when two thugs burst through the window that was between Kagome and Sango. Sango screamed as shards cut through her skin, but Kagome had already turned her back to the window and was protecting Rin.

Thug #1 jumped inside and grinned evilly at Kagome, while Thug #2 stalked over to Sango. Kagome found her voice.

"Sango, run to Miroku. I'll handle them." Kagome's voice held authority and left no space for arguing, so Sango nodded and with tears in her eyes, took off. Thug #2 was about to follow her, but Kagome was way ahead. Pushing Rin back, Kagome ran between the two thugs and kicked Thug #2 in the nuts. As expected he doubled over and grabbed his balls. Kagome turned to the other thug.

He raised his fist and swung it down, hard. Kagome waited at the last moment, before she ducked. The thug tried hard to stop his punch, but was to late. He hit his own partner. Kagome allowed herself a smile. She had beaten these two thugs without even using her gun.

She went over to Rin, who was looking at her with wide eyes. Scooping her up, Kagome ran and then stopped. She looked down at the trembling girl in her arms.

"Rin? Where should we go?"

Rin looked up at her. "Sesshy..."

Kagome nodded and began running. She hoped she got there in time.


Sesshomaru was jerked awake as Kagome entered the room. He saw a disheveled Kagome and a panic stricken Rin. He got out of his bed and took Rin in his own arms.

"What happened?" he asked Kagome. But, instead of Kagome answering, it was Rin.

"Lord Sesshomaru. My nightmare. It's happening all over again. The raid..."

Sesshomaru looked up at the gasping Kagome. She looked like she had to run a mile to get there. He wasn't that far off.


Kagome spun around as the door to Sesshomaru's room burst open. She squinted through he dim lights to see a man and about eight henchmen behind him. The man laughed evilly. Then he said something so low that Kagome could barely hear it.

"This is for Kagura."

And then a shot rang out. A piercing scream made Kagome look behind her. She spun around and saw Rin, with her hand clutching her stomach and blood seeping through. Sesshomaru was holding her tight and his eyes had suddenly become ice cold.

He looked up. "Naraku, you bastard. You will pay for that."

With lightning speed, Sesshomaru drew out his gun. Kagome tightened her hold around her own weapon. Sesshomaru glanced up and put Rin on his bed. With that done, he turned to face his enemy. He drew out his cell phone, all the while keeping an eye on Naraku.

"Don't bother. We already killed all of your pathetic henchmen."

Sesshomaru's face turned livid and Kagome gulped. This didn't look to good. She started to inch towards Rin but Naraku turned sharply towards her.

"Don't move. I have a message for you from Kikyo: Go to hell."

Kagome dodged as he shot. Instead of diving away from him she dived towards him and swept him off of his feet. Suddenly two hands grabbed her up and held her firmly. Naraku stood up and glared at her.

"You bitch. You'll pay for that."

He raised his gun and Kagome closed her eyes. A shot rang out.


Sango entered the room and saw Naraku point the gun at Kagome. She held her breath and, without anybody noticing, crept towards Naraku. Just as he was about to fire, Sango kicked the gun from his hands.

Kagome took that as a cue and kicked one of the girl's asses as she tried to get free. Luckily, she hit the mark. Suddenly, icy hands grabbed Sango from behind and choked her. Sango sputtered. Miroku jumped onto Naraku and with a knife plunged it deep into Naraku's leg. Still, Naraku didn't let go, and Sango was turning purple.

However, Sango took care of him herself. She kicked him in the balls. At the same time, Koga entered the room and joined the fight.


Kagome's eyes were livid as she saw Sango breath. She turned to Naraku.

"No, I'm not a bitch, you are."

She was about to shoot at Naraku when someone from behind latched onto her. Kagome bent over and threw the dude off of her. Kagome squinted in the darkness and was surprised to see Kikyo.

"Where's InuYasha?"

Kikyo's mouth turned upwards into an evil grin. "I shot him... again."

Kagome gasped. Kikyo looked at her. "I see Naraku haven't killed you yet. If that's the case then I'll just kill you myself."

Kikyo pointed the gun at her. Kagome was still to shocked to say or do anything. Oh... InuYasha...

The shot rang out and Kagome fell to the ground.


InuYasha entered the room and the first thing he saw was Kagome, with her leg bleeding, and Kikyo standing triumphantly over Kagome. Seeing Kagome open her eyes, he crept nearer, but was blocked as a thug stepped in the way.

"Where do you think you're going, little boy?"

InuYasha's temple twitched and he swung his fist up, hard. It connected with the man's jaw and there was a small crack. The man fainted from the pain. InuYasha started running again as he saw Kikyo point the gun at Kagome again. This time it was pointing at her heart.

InuYasha closed his eyes as he pointed the gun at Kikyo. He shot it with good accuracy and then fell as more blood fell from his arm. He clutched his injured arm and then looked at the bullet, as if it was moving in slow motion, heads toward Kikyo. It hit her in the stomach.

She fell. Somewhere around him, InuYasha heard another shot and a scream. He suddenly felt two small hands grab him from behind and drag him into a corner of the room. The last thing he saw before he blacked out was a boy with brown hair, looking down at him worriedly.


Kagome forced herself to stand up and walk over to InuYasha. Kikyo groaned feebly and made an attempt to grab Kagome's leg but Kagome stepped on her fingers. Kikyo fainted. Kagome walked slowly and painfully over to InuYasha. When she got there, she gaped.

Collapsing on the floor, Kagome pointed to the boy. "You...you... you're the one who tried to take my purse."

He nodded, also shocked. Suddenly Naraku screamed again and Kagome looked at the scene before her eyes. All of Naraku's thugs were either knocked out or dead. Naraku was definitely dead, with all the bullets in his head, it would be a miracle for him to even take one last breath.

Sango and Miroku were holding each other tightly while Koga stood there, slightly shaken. Kagome sighed as she sank down next to InuYasha. She put her arms around him and leaned in closer to him to make sure he was still alive.

Miraculously, he opened his eyes and grinned feebly up at her. "Wasn't that fun?"

Kagome gave him an icy glare and then looked over at Sesshomaru who was crying, silently. Kagome helped InuYasha stand up and then pulled her over to Sesshomaru and Rin. Rin's eyes were closed and she was bleeding badly. InuYasha leaned over to Rin and checked her heartbeat.

"She's alive."

Sesshomaru jumped out of his skin and looked at InuYasha as if he were his only lifeline. InuYasha backed away, slowly. "Dude, I already have a girlfriend."

That knocked Sesshomaru out of his daze. He reached out and hugged Rin and then frowned. He ripped her shirt off and then started to cry with happiness. Kagome looked over his shoulder and then smiled. It was a bullet proof vest.

Rin must have worn that every day after the raid, because she was afraid. That fearful thinking saved her life. Kagome felt tears rushing down her cheeks and grinned at Sesshomaru.

"You should call the ambulance."

He went out of the room while opening his cell phone. InuYasha was leaning against the bed pole and Kagome left him there while going over to Sango and Miroku. They opened their eyes and grinned at Kagome.

Kagome suddenly had an urge to puke. The stench of blood had caught up to her.


Ending note: Well, that's the end of this chapter. Sorry if it's so short, but I wanted to end it here. Hm... I see the ending coming nearer. Maybe about three more chapters? After that I'm taking a long one year break before I start writing again. J/K. Maybe about several months is more like it. Review, please!
