InuYasha turned around as well, and ran back over towards Kagome, kneeling down next to her "Kagome? Kagome!" He said, hoping she was ok.
Sango hurried over as well, walking over to Kagome and picking up Kitaro, who miraculously was still sleeping. "InuYasha we have to get some place for Kagome to rest." She said, looking at the hanyou
InuYasha nodded, picking up Kagome and starting off down the road again with the others following him.
They stopped at a hut that had probably been abandoned. InuYasha put Kagome down on a small bed that was left there.
"I wonder what's wrong with her…" Sango said, looking at Kagome with worried eyes.
"I don't know, she might've just passed out though." Miroku said, sitting down by the fire he had just started.
InuYasha's ear twitched as a clash of thunder was heard outside and soon the sound of rain pouring against the hut was making everything a lot less silent. He took off his hiori and put it around Kagome as a sort of makeshift blanket. "Looks like we're staying here for the night…" He muttered.
Sango nodded, she had already put Kitaro down by the fire to sleep some more. "I don't think I've ever seen someone sleep so soundly…" She said quietly, looking at the girl curiously.
InuYasha nodded, narrowing his eyes at the girl "Yeah, it's really odd though, something doesn't make sense." He muttered, folding his arms and looking over at them.
Miroku sighed "Well let's just ask her about it when she wakes up, alright? She might just be a very sound sleeper is all." He pointed out.
InuYasha nodded, but something wasn't right; Kagome seemed perfectly fine, why would she pass out like that?
Kagome sighed, she shivered slightly but didn't move other then that, her dreams darkening her thoughts…
She stood once more in the valley, everything was the same as last time, once more there was a glowing light of the Shikon jewel not far off.
Kagome bit her lip, running over towards the light "InuYasha!" She cried, hoping things were different this time. "No, please no…" She gasped, still running over towards the light that was becoming steadily brighter.
And once more she stood, looking over at the hanyou that was holding the jewel in his hands. "I can become a full demon now…" He whispered, grinning.
"InuYasha don't! You'll lose control!" Kagome screamed, hoping it would reach him in time, she saw the jewel glow with a dark light in his hands as he started to transform again.
"InuYasha…" Kagome whispered, running over to him.
The jewel disappeared and InuYasha smiled, his eyes once beautiful amber were now blood red. His claws and fangs had grown and his face had a stripe on either side. He smirked, craving blood and longing to tear flesh apart with his new grown power.
Kagome stopped, taking a step back from him, she remembered last time; InuYasha had come after her without hesitation. "InuYasha… don't…" She whispered.
InuYasha just smirked "Stupid wench, don't you think I knew that this would happen? I'm just fine with it, with killing you." He said, still smiling as a cruel laugh left his mouth.
"No it's not true! Y-you told me that-"
"It was a lie, you're so gullible…"
"No! InuYasha come back!"
"I never left."
"Sit!"
InuYasha just smirked, the necklace started to glow a bright pinkish color, but he was able to withstand it and stay upright.
"Sit! Sit! Sit!" Kagome screamed, wanting him to return to normal.
Once more the rosary started to glow, but it didn't force him down, instead it shattered, the beads scattering as they fell. "Heh, seems like that little trick won't work anymore…" He growled, laughing once more.
"No… InuYasha, please…" Kagome whispered, backing away from him once more.
"Stupid wench, I never loved you and I never will, you're merely a human that detected the jewel and fell for a trap." InuYasha growled, flexing his claws as he ran at her, grabbing her by the arms, making blood run down her arms.
Kagome screamed closing her eyes as tears fell down her cheeks. The pain was so real, wasn't this a dream? Why did it hurt so much if it was a dream?
InuYasha grinned, his claws covered in blood now "Go to Hell, Kagome." He muttered, striking at her.
Kagome closed her eyes tightly, not wanting to see InuYasha like this. She let out a scream, but it seemed to echo slightly as she opened her eyes to the light again.
InuYasha turned, hearing Kagome scream "Kagome! Kagome are you ok?" He asked, sitting down next to her.
Kagome looked around; she was breathing heavily and was crying as well. She saw InuYasha and her eyes widened as she saw not her hanyou, but the full demon. "InuYasha, how could you?" She sobbed, backing away from him.
InuYasha looked at Kagome in confusion. "Kagome it was just a dream, are you ok?" He asked, reaching out a hand to comfort her, but she flinched at his touch and he backed off.
Sango sat down next to Kagome "Kagome are you ok?" She asked, wondering what was wrong.
Kagome closed her eyes tightly, tears still streaming down her face "It was just a dream…" She muttered to herself, still shaking. She opened her eyes again, the miko let out a sigh of relief that InuYasha was back to his normal hanyou self.
"What the hell is going on?" InuYasha asked, looking around.
"Well it seems that Kagome had a nightmare and it was an after affect or something." Miroku suggested, stating the obvious.
InuYasha opened his mouth to reply but was tackled over by Kagome who was hugging him and crying. He put his arms around her and held her "Kagome what's wrong? What was so horrible in your nightmare? I don't think I've ever seen you this scared."
"I-it was nothing, InuYasha, I'm just being silly." Kagome whispered InuYasha's hiori still around her.
"It sure as hell isn't 'nothing'!"
"It was just a bad dream, but I'm over it, ok?"
"Feh." InuYasha muttered, he knew it wasn't 'nothing'. Kagome was really scared about something; he'd ask her about it later though. But for now he'd drop the subject.
Sango sighed "Let's get some sleep alright, it's pretty late." She said, glancing outside; the rain was still pounding against the hut and lightning was striking every now and then.
Kagome nodded "A-alright…" She said quietly, sitting back down on the bed, but not laying down. "Wait, where's Kitaro?" She asked, looking around
"She's right by the fire, she didn't even wake up." Sango said, looking over at the small girl.
"Feh, how could she sleep through that? There's something strange about her…" InuYasha muttered.
Kagome sighed "Well let's worry about it in the morning, we'll ask her then, alright?"
"Yeah, whatever." InuYasha muttered, looking at the girl. Was it his imagination, or was the girl smirking in her sleep? There was definitely something strange going on with her.
Miroku nodded and sat up against the hut wall, his eyes closing soon after he was asleep.
Sango sat down next to him, she didn't like thunder and wanted someone next to her, even if Miroku was a letch, she still liked him. The demon-slayer's eyes soon closed and she fell asleep, her head drifting over and lying on Miroku's shoulder.
InuYasha sat up against a wall as well, his legs folded and his arms crossed across his chest.
"InuYasha?" Kagome asked quietly, looking over at him.
"Yeah?"
"Erm… I-I can't sleep."
InuYasha looked at her, he hated to see her so scared and frightened. He sighed and walked over, sitting down next to her. "Fine, want me to sleep next to you then?" He asked, trying to ignore the blush around his face as he suggested it.
Kagome smiled "Thanks InuYasha." She said.
"Feh, I just know that you're going to be irritable tomorrow if you don't get any sleep." InuYasha muttered, leaning up against the hut wall again.
Kagome smiled, leaning up against him and resting her head on his shoulder. She felt so much safer with him, in his arms.
InuYasha smiled as well, he put his arm around Kagome and held her close.
"Hey, InuYasha?"
"Yeah, what?"
"Promise me something… please?"
"Sure… what?"
"Promise me, that when we finish the jewel… you'll reconsider being a full demon. Please just think about it, alright?" Kagome asked, looking at him, her eyes full of sadness and fear.
InuYasha was silent for a few seconds, looking at her and then at the ground. "Alright, I promise." He said softly, looking back at Kagome and giving her a quick hug. "Just get to sleep," He added.
Kagome nodded, resting her head back on InuYasha's shoulder.
Aww, I thought this was a sweet way to end a VERY long chapter. I'll be adding more onto the whole Kitaro-plot-thing in the next chapters to come!
