Chapter 7: In the Land of Dreams

A black-haired Inuyasha watched as the chattering Kagome bid a goodnight to the hello-phone.

Kagome stretched. "Lets see, I've called everyone but Hotaru, but its so late, I don't want to wake her up...I'll call her as soon as I get up tomorrow!"

Inuyasha 'feh'd' from the bed where he had been sitting for the past two hours. "Who cares? Just a bunch of stupid girls in stupid outfits!"

Kagome flashed a glare at him. "How can you say that?! They saved our lifes Inuyasha!"

"Feh. So what? I didn't ask for their help after all!"

"Well, I never ask for your's either, but I'm still grateful!"

"That's different!"

"How so?"

"You KNOW me, Kagome! We don't know anything about those girls. They could be DEMONS!"

"We can trust them Inuyasha. They even returned that jewel shard remember?"

"That's only because they know you can SEE the shards! They probably ditched it because they don't want us finding out who they are!"

Kagome remained silent. She didn't know how to counter that.

Seeing her depressed look, Inuyasha immediatly regreted having ever said that. "Kagome." He said a bit softer. "I'm only...trying to...protect you...because...I don't think I could...stand to see you hurt."

A blush flew to Kagome's face. 'I can't believe he said that! He's never been that open with me before! It must be because he's human, he's always kinder then.'

A simalar look appeared on Inuyasha's face. 'Oh crap! Stupid new moon! I wasn't gonna say that!'

The two sat in an awekard silence. Finally, having being able to take it any longer, Kagome stood. "I think I will go to bed now, Inuyasha." She grabbed her pjs and went into the bathroom. 'A hot bath will do me good.' Kagome thought as she slipped into the tub.

'What if Inuyasha's right? I mean, all we ever hear is stories, how do I know for sure the Sailor Scouts can be trusted?' She let her thoughts go back to the night's events. 'Wait a minute, what am I thinking? The scouts risked their lives tonight! And in the end, they did give the shard back to us. Sailor Neptune didn't hesitate to give me the jewel back! Inuyasha's just putting silly thoughts in my head!'

After washing and changing, Kagome went back into her room to see Inuyasha sitting near the window, with a watchful eye to the door. "What are you doing Inuyasha? You don't think you're sleeping in here, do you?"

"I'm not sleeping in here." He replied.

"Then why are you in here?"

"I'll make sure nothing attacks you."

"But..."

"No buts! Go to bed, Kagome. I'll stay up and make sure you'll be okay."

Kagome opened her mouth to argue back, but knew it was futile. "Fine. Just, don't try anything, alright?"

"Who do you think I am, Miroku?!"

And so, Kagome slept under the moonless sky, and Inuyasha's watchful eye.

Hotaru sighed as she finally hung up the phone. It had been ringing off the hook ever since the meeting with her teammates ended. "Word sure does get around fast here, doesn't it?"

"Hotaru, can we talk to you for a minute?" Michelle asked from the living room.

"Okay." The girl replied as she went into the room where the other three were waiting. "What's up?"

"Well, we've been talking this over, and it seems clear that Kagome could have been targeted by the monster tonight." Amira said.

"And we've decided to keep a close eye on her and that boy she was with today." Trista added.

Hotaru looked at them confused. "But why? You don't think Kagome is in with the monsters, do you?"

"No no." Michelle assured her. "Its just that, the girl could be in danger, and we might need to keep an eye on her, in case she is attacked again."

"Oh. Okay. That's fine. Listen, I'm a bit worn out now, can I be excused to go to bed now?"

The three nodded.

"Good night." And the girl retired to her room for the night.

Inuyasha watched Kagome's peaceful face. 'I wonder what she's dreaming about...' His thoughts were interupted when the dreaming girl stiffled a giggle and began sleep-talking.

"Stop right there. Evil monster!"

Inuyasha stared at the girl. 'What?'

"I am Sailor Jewel, protected by the Shikon no Tama, I will purify your evil soul and right the wrongs you've caused!" She twisted her face in determination and shifted in her bed. "No! You're attack will not work!"

The boy staring at her was getting a bit worried. "Kagome, are you okay?"

The fore-mentioned girl turned over. "Tuxedo Inuyasha! Just in time!"

Inuyasha sweatdropped and blushed. And never before, had he wished the sun to rise as hard as he did that night.

Down the street, a soldier of death awoke with a start in a cold sweat. "Oh my god."

Hotaru gasped for breath. "That dream..."

~Dream Flashback~

Kagome stood in front of her, but something was off. Hotaru stood there as Sailor Saturn, but, somehow, something was different. Wrong. Saturn got her answer as to what was wrong as she gripped her glaive and brought it foreward.

~Ends Dream~

'Wha-what could it mean?' Hotaru thought deperatly. 'Am I...is she...is...my former self going to awaken again?!'
