A/N: Woo, I feel all warm and fuzzy inside. -Ahem- Thanks, reviewers! -Waves- Time for Inuyasha's point of view! (P.S. I decided I had enough reviews. -Sweatdrops- Thankies.)

Chapter seven: A view of the future.

Inuyasha leaned his back against the cold stone wall of the dungeon he was in. Obviously, while Kagome was living in grandeur, he had gotten into a bit of trouble. He grunted, as light filled into the dank, and dark living quarters. It was worse then sleeping out in the cold of the woods. Not to mention, at least he wasn't wet from sleeping in high trees'.

He sighed, lifting his eyes to meet the dim rays of the sun from the barred window, was he going to die? Perish from hunger, or would they just kill him? He didn't exactly know who 'they' was, but obviously they didn't want him alive if he was here.

Maybe there wasn't even a 'they', maybe it was a 'him', or 'her'. He propped himself up, using the wall for support. His head ached, and his legs felt like jelly. What had happened last night? All he remembered was telling Kagome to stay--Kagome! His heart raced, had she been discovered? Or worse, died? He shuddered at the thought.

No, Kagome wasn't dead, he would know if she was dead. They had a close connection, like brother and sister. He heard steps descending the stairs, and he tried to make himself look as healthy as possible.

A silky voice filled the room, though it was a male voice, it was absoloutly discusting. Like the man was trying to sugarcoat his words, "So...hanyou, you are alive, I didn't believe them when they told me..." So there was a 'they'.

"Yeah," He barked, annoyedly, "I don't die that easily, you should know!" The man chuckled,

"Why yes, Inuyasha, I know." The man stepped into the dungeons' dark and gloomy light. Even though the light was dim, Inuyasha could make out some features. The man had long black, and wavy hair. It shone as though it were greased, and Inuyasha didn't doubt it was greasy.

The man gave off an aura of superiority, as his dark purple eyes studied him closely. Inuyasha glared at the man,

"Who the hell are you?" Inuyasha bit out, eyes flashing briefly with red. Naraku chuckled,

"Why, you don't remember me Inuyasha? I am Naraku..." He answered, a smirk forming on the corner of his lips. Inuyasha stared at him, before a low growl started from his throat, oh yes, he remembered him now, the bastard. Naraku laughed, "I see you remember now, Inuyasha."

"Blades of blood!" The voice echoed throughout the dungeon,

Naraku turned to leave, but not before red blades cut into his back. He grunted, looking behind him as Inuyasha cracked his knuckles. Blood stained his claws, "You," Naraku growled dangerously, "do not test my patience! For it is running thin." Inuyasha smirked, blood dripping onto the floor. Drip...drip...drip...it lengthened out the silence that stretched between the two hanyou's.

Naraku turned, promptly walking back up the stairs.

# Two days later... #

Inuyasha sat, staring into the bleak grey wall, as he had been doing for hours now. He was hungry, thirsty, and beat, but that didn't compare to the numbness that had set in his gut. Naraku came occasionally, but only to 'take care of him'. In other words, to beat him. So far today he had a dark blue bruise under his left eye, and two on each arm.

That was nothing, usually by now he was battered and bloody, so much you wouldn't recondnise him. He would be dead now, if he wasn't a hanyou. This is Naraku's torture, he thought plainly. It was getting to him, finally, as he sat day after day, staring into that dark grey wall.

Next time, he thought darkly, Naraku dies.

# Tower of Fate... #

"So, time runs short for this...Kagome, girl." A voice muttered, darkness surrounding view. Another voice answered,

"Yes, right now she is in great danger, Priestess." A chuckle faintly echoed throughout the towers' walls,

"Good, for Inuyasha will not be with her. Another will be with that hanyou..."

-- End Futuristic view --

Kagome's eyes slowly opened, as she groaned and sat up. She lifted a hand to her head, pushing back her bangs and holding them there. She shook it out, "That was a weird dream..." She muttered, looking around herself. The monster from earlier was gone, and now she was someplace warm.

She glanced to what was covering her, a plain white sheet. She looked around the room, oh, it was her room... Someone knocked on the door. She sat up, clutching the white sheet to her bandaged chest, "Come in!" She called out.

Sesshoumaru walked in calmly,

"Good, you are awake." He said in a stoic voice, Kagome flinched, since when had he spoken to her like that? His golden eyes flickered for a moment, before returning to their original locked emotions. He turned heel and began to walk out before he was stopped by a voice,

"Sesshoumaru...?" Kagome asked meekly, pleading for him to turn around,

"You will address me as, Sesshoumaru-Sama." He replied, turning his eyes to her and trying not to let emotions escape to the pleading girl. Her heart fell, and she sighed, nodding,

"Yes...Sesshoumaru-Sama..." She whispered, hurt beyond how words could ever express. He exited the room, and she lay back on the bed, staring at the white canopy above. She slipped her feet over the edge of the bed and stood, looking around herself. At least the walls aren't white... She mused silently.

Walking to the sliding door, she walked out and into the gardens. She walked until she had gotten to the private hotsprings on these lands, and entered them. Slowly she relaxed, falling asleep.

# Sesshoumaru's 'office'... #

Sesshomaru's golden amber gaze landed on a pile of papers, as Kagome had come here, he had been neglecting his work. No, he didn't love her, that was for certain. He felt a fatherly love for her, that was it. He sighed, sinking into a chair silently and glaring at the work that had to be done.

A knock was heard on the door, and his gaze flicked to it. Good, he needed a distraction, "Come in," He called icily. A young woman came bouncing in, as she nodded to him happily,

"Sesshoumaru-Sama!" She said loudly, smiling to him. She was like a really bright flower, she stuck out from the rest. Sesshoumaru resisted the urge to sigh, and keep his mask in place.

"What is it, Rin?" He asked, standing from his chair elegantly. Rins' smile never faded from her lips,

"Rin would like to know if Sesshoumaru-Sama would like to come with Rin on her walk?" She asked. Sesshoumaru glanced to the paperwork, then back to Rin,

"Don't you have lessons?" He asked, answering a question, with a question. Rin sighed, the smile fading,

"Oh M'lord, lessons are so boring! Please don't make Rin go," She pleaded, large brown eyes peering up at him hopefully. Sesshoumaru steeled himself,

"Your speech needs work, Rin. Now go to your lessons, they will do you good. I now need to get back to work." He answered, sitting back down and turning to his work silently. Rin stayed for a moment, before nodding sagely,

"Yes, M'lord," She responded, "Rin understands that her lessons are important, but please, can't Rin go for a walk?" She pleaded. Sesshoumaru usually didn't have to force her to go to her lessons, and she usually didn't ask for so long. He caved,

"Alright, Rin," She squealed happily, "but afterwards, your lessons, understood?" She nodded, and bounced out of the room. Sesshoumaru slumped back, this must be part of womens' 'growing up'.

He sighed, if that was what it was, he'd rather Rin stay a child.

-- Start Futuristic View... --

# Sango and Miroku... #

"Hentai!" Was heard echoing through cave walls, and bouncing back.

"But Fair Lady Sango, I was just making sure your flawless body was not harmed in any way," Was the answer, as a monk cradled his red cheek. A woman, most likely the Sango the man had mentioned, answered.

"Yeah right!" She huffed, crossing her arms. Miroku grinned helplessly, she was beautiful when she was angry. Sango eyed his grin warily, men needed to be watched carefully when they grinned, whatever came next would not be good.

The two just watched eachother for a while, before Miroku broke the silence, "Well Lady Sango, we should be going, should we not?" Sango nodded carefully,

"Yes, we need to get out of this cave," She replied, standing up from her sitting position. "Kagome and Inuyasha might need our help."

-- End futuristic view --

Kagome awoke with a start, sweating profusely. She looked down to the steaming water of the hotsprings and relaxed, "Why am I having all these strange dreams?" She asked herself, letting her head loll back, "Who were those people? I certainly don't know them..."

She stood, exiting the water, and proceeding to change back into her clothes. She sighed, pulling her hand through her sleeve, and tugging it into place.

Walking back to the castle, she idly wondered what Inuyasha could be doing...right this second...

'Inuyasha...'

# A change of fate... #

A chanted voice was heard, "A change of fate, the time will turn, from now to then, it has began..."

A glowing light was spread, and as the view changes, you can see the earth, being enveloped in a green light, as the spell was cast.

"Time unbound, changing from today, years in the future, past forgotten, a clean slate..." The face of the woman was shown, an eerie green-cast face, with long black cascading hair, wore in an iron-straight fashion. Her hands circled over a large bowl of water, casting many faces in its depths.

Her head tilted back, her eyes closed, and lips parted, "Yes, Inuyasha will be mine..."

Thanks to: Amie: Thank you very much, I'm glad you like it. Liarra: Little people can be pretty blunt, yes. -Laughs- One again, the-unwanted-souls: Thanks for reviewing, your one of the best, keep on doing that. -Thumbs up- Shikon Shrine: I agree fully, Sesshoumaru is very hot! Anyways, most people voted for Inu/Kag, and I like Inu/Kag pairings, so I really didn't want to change the plot. (P.S. If you guys want to vote for a Sess/Kag, you can, since right now the plot took a different turn.)

'Kay, it all starts from Kiwi from the ten countdown, so thanks to Kiwi.

A/N: And so the plot thickens! Who is this mystery woman who wants Inuyasha to herself? What kind of spell has she cast over the world? Perhaps all your questions will be answered in the next chapter. But until then, happy halloween. -Dissapears, then reapears in another small skit!-

Small Skit:

Tia: -Holds her Sesshou plushie- Mine, all mine!

Inuyasha: You freak... -Backs away all slow-like-

Tia: -Laughs maniac-ishly- Yes, I'm crazy!

Sesshoumaru: -Looks at his plushie with distaste- It doesn't even look like me...

Inu&Tia: Don't forget to review! -Cue Smile-
