A/N: I feel so bad with not updating for so long. It's been like 7 months since I've updated. I've been extremely busy with everything; sports (volleyball, cross-country, & softball), starting high school, homework, vacations, projects, service hours, community things, organization, etc. I'm in to too many things. I've got to start cutting down so I'm going to try my best to update as much as possible. So don't criticize me if I'm not updating as much as you wish I could update. Well enough about me on with the story.

The Dream

A little Flashback of what happened last chapter:

Kagome saw the tetseiga and her old clothes, clean and folded on the bed. She also saw her bow and arrows next to the dresser. 'At least he didn't take tetseiga or Inu'yasha would kill me,' thought Kagome. Then she went and explored the other two doors, finding a closet full of kimonos and a bathroom.

With Inu'yasha and the gang:

"We've been searching for 2 days straight without a stop. Can't we stop," complained Shippo wishing Kagome was here so she could subdue him.

"Do you think Kagome went to help Sesshoumaru get over that Rin won't be coming back," suggested Sango.

"Sesshoumaru is our enemy. She would never do that," said Inu'yasha. "Wait, maybe Kouga kidnapped Kagome. It wouldn't be the first time he's done it. If he did, he's dead. We're going to visit him."

"Do you think this is such a good ides," questioned Shippo.

"Yeah, Inu'yasha and if he doesn't have her he would blame you for not keeping a good eye on her and would start to search for Kagome," stated Miroku.

"Don't worry. If he doesn't have Kagome and asks where she is, we'll tell him that she is at home. When we get there we don't mention a word about Kagome," said Inu'yasha.

With Kagome and Sesshoumaru at the Castle

Kagome woke up the next morning to the noise of people yelling and not to the usual birds chirping in the morning. It was also pitch black and Kagome was quite curious as to who was yelling. It was quite bothersome and was starting to give her headache. So she listened and tried to make out what was being said.

"I smell my woman on you and here at your castle with you," yelled none other than Kouga, leader of the wolf tribe clan.

"I do not have your woman here. Could you please refrain from yelling, you'll wake up the whole castle. It's about 3 in the morning you know, some people are trying to get some sleep here. Otherwise I'll have to come down there and shut you up, which I'm not in the mood for right now, said Sesshoumaru.

"You have her! You have her! I can smell her everywhere around here, my noise does not lie," said Kouga.

"No I do not, so will you please leave now, so I can go back to bed," said Sesshoumaru.

Kagome getting quite fed up with all the shouting and yelling, yelled out the window, "Could you guys keep it down out there, I'm trying to get some sleep here. Its 3am in the morning for God's sake go to bed, there's a lot of people trying to sleep and if you don't stop, you'll wake up the whole castle! Well good night, I'm going back to bed."

Kouga trying to figure as to who just yelled at them said, "Where did that voice come from? It sounded like my woman. You have her you liar!"

"It was one of my servants who was yelling to shut your crap, jackass and it was not your woman, just a servant, nothing more," said Sesshoumaru trying to stay calm because he was getting quite fed up with this jerk right now.

"Well that servant sure sounded like my woman's voice and she smelt like it too. I'll let you off now but if you see a girl, who carries the Shikon no Tama, has black hair, and usually travels with Inu'yasha, tell me," said Kouga. Then he sped off instantly with the aide of the shikon shards in his legs.

"Yeah right," said Sesshoumaru who knew Kouga couldn't hear him anyway. 'Well I wonder why he calls Kagome his woman, she isn't marked. I better go and check on her,' he wondered.

With Kagome

'I wonder why Kouga was looking for me. Inu'yasha would never tell him I went missing, he even knows better than that,' as Kagome was pondered that, Sesshoumaru walked into the room.

"Who the fuck was that jamakusai," questioned Sesshoumaru.

"That was Kouga, the wolf demon tribe leader, who thinks I'm his woman, who I'm not. I don't like him that way; I just like him as a friend. He can be quite annoying at times though but he just doesn't get a hint that I don't like him and don't want to be his woman," said Kagome.

"Well he is an annoying jerk and can tell you that much from just talking to him. By any chance is he a friend of Inu'yasha," questioned Sesshoumaru.

"Hell no! They are total enemies but very alike all the same. You would never catch or see those two together ever, unless they're fighting over something," said Kagome. "Now get out of here. I want to try to get some more sleep since you too jackass woke me up and almost the castle."

"You don't order me around at all human. I'll stay in here as long as I want to. This is my house by the way or have you forgotten," said Sesshoumaru.

"Fine, I'm going to sleep," yelled Kagome turning the other way in the bed facing away from him.

15 Minutes Later

"Aren't you going to leave yet," asked Kagome? "Cause I can't fall asleep with you staring at me the whole time."

"Oh, really. I'm not leaving until you fall asleep," said Sesshoumaru from the chair he was sitting in.

'Won't he leave yet! I know, I'll pretend I'm sleeping. Then maybe he'll leave. No that won't wok, demons know when something's asleep or not. Just my luck. I've got this bastard staring me to sleep. How fun is that! I'm getting real sick of him and I'm still wondering why he kidnapped me,' thought Kagome who turned over to face Sesshoumaru who had fallen asleep why she was thinking. 'Not possible. He wouldn't fall asleep on me but he does look cute when he sleeps, like Inu'yasha.'

Kagome crawls out of bed and walks over to where Sesshoumaru was sleeping in the chair. 'If he's faking it to fool me or scare me, I'm gonna be pissed and he won't want that to happen,' though Kagome, who was inching slowly toward him, just in case he was pulling a trick with her.

Sesshoumaru's Dream

"Sesshoumaru help! Help me!" Cried Rin.

"Leave her out of this," yelled Sesshoumaru desperately trying to get to Rin in time.

"I thought you hated all humans so what difference does this one human girl matter to you," asked Inu'yasha in a snarl, mocking voice.

"INU'YASHA STOP! Don't hurt Rin. She's just a sweet little girl, stop," said Kagome trying to get Inu'yasha to stop with words because for some reason the prayer beads weren't working.

"So you're siding with Sesshoumaru now. It does not matter, I'm still going to kill her anyway," said Inu'yasha.

"I'll never forgive you or help you ever find any more of the jewel shards again Inu'yasha," yelled Kagome almost in tears now, while Sesshoumaru was inching towards Inu'yasha while he and Kagome where talking. "I'll shoot an arrow at you if you don't give her back to Sesshoumaru this instant!"

"Hell no! I don't care. You probably wouldn't be able to hit me anyway with your bad aiming anyway," said Inu'yasha who just noticed Sesshoumaru not more than 10 feet away. That's when Inu'yasha killed Rin.

"NOOOOO! RIN!" yelled Sesshoumaru as Kagome shot an arrow at Inu'yasha's heart ant it hit him just a little below his heart. Inu'yasha dropped Rin, falling to the ground getting pinned to it. Sesshoumaru grabbed Rin and disappeared out of sight.

End Of Dream

Sesshoumaru woke up in a comfy bed, his to be exact as he starred at the ceiling and quickly shut his eyes from the brightness. He noticed there was something cold on his forehead with someone sitting next to him.
