Disclaimer: I do not own InuYasha, so please, stop forcing me to repeat myself.
A/N: Wow! I got eight-teen reviews! Sure, their not all for chapter five, but who cares what chapters they are! I'm just so thrilled that I got so many reviews! ((HUGS REVIEWERS)) I love you all so much! Let's once again, admire these people, for they have made me so happy.
888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888
LynGreenTea: I'm glad that you want me to write more. Arigatou for the review!
Sueslalues: Arigatou so much for the compliment! I could just hug you to death! LOL. If you have some ideas just write me and tell me about them. I would love to hear what you have in mind! My e-mail addresses are in my profile. Arigatou so much for your review!
ayme: Wow, that's a major compliment! The best one on here, eh? I wish! But, I'm very pleased to hear that you think so. You don't know what that means to me. Thank you so much! I could just cry! ((SNIFFLE)) Arigatou for the review!
Rosie: Funny choice of words. I laughed when I read your review. Sorry, I just laugh every time I hear someone say that. I'm not sure why though. Anyways, I'm so glad that you think this is good. Arigatou for the review!
WearyWanderer: I'm so glad to hear someone say that this story is descriptive, that is my main goal after all. When I read fanfictions or any type of book for that matter, I always look for description. I can't read anything if it is not well described. Anyways, I'm so glad that you think that it is descriptive and well written, and I'm also glad that you are attached to it! That means that you can't quit reading it! ((LAUGHS EVILLY)) Oh, sorry about that! Arigatou for the review!
Rena Moon: I'm glad that it suprised you! That's what I was going for, but wasn't sure if it actually worked. And to answer your question, I do plan on Sesshomaru coming up somewhere in this story because after all, a story isn't good without everyone's favorite Ice prince now is it?
aGreatPenName: Arigatou! I'm so glad that you think it's good for my first fanfiction! I know what you mean about Kagome. I hate when people write stories where she trips and falls over every little thing! Or she is always needing to be rescued! I think that Kagome kicks ass! So, anyways, I don't like people portraying Kagome as weak. I myself, think that she is strong. I just had to have her stabbing someone in the heart and just looking into their eyes coldy as they died. I get a little carried away. I'm dramatic, what can I say? Arigatou for the review!
Kogasgirl142: Ha! Ha! Ha! You are shocked are you? I'm glad that you got it wrong! ((GRINS EVILLY)) I didn't want anyone guessing and getting it right. So you were going to guess Inuyasha first, eh? Remember, expect the unexpected. Arigatou for the review!
Menolly Harper: Yep, when dealing with Naraku, everything is like a damn misquito. Damn him for having so much power! Thanks for the compliment about my writing style! Really appreciate it! Arigatou for the review!
Kitsune-NekoDemon2: I'm glad that you still like the story! Arigatou for the review! If you need help with chapter 4 just let me know and I'll try to help.
Deathchick: Arigatou, I'm glad that you like this and I am also glad that you like the fluffiness! Arigatou for the review!
Kiri: I know what you mean about this seeming out of character I am starting to get the same vibe from it. I wish that I could redo it but, I simply do not have the time. Arigatou for the review.
Well, now that all of the wonderful people have been thanked, let's move on with the story. Oh, and I thought that this might be handy. I thought about putting it up a few chapters ago but never did. I guess that I will now.

Chapter 6: Wake me from this nightmare: Part 1
"Shippou, Kirara, Sango, Miroku, you are all safe? I thought that InuYasha killed you all. I'm so relieved!" Screamed Kagome happily, as she ran towards her friends. She slowed the pace when she noticed something.
As she ran towards them, thay began bleeding from various places on their bodies and were just staring at her blankly. They did not express any sighns of pain upon their faces, but looked as if their souls were gone.
"What's going on?" Kagome gasped, covering her mouth to hold back a sob.
"What's wrong miko? Do you not wish to see your beloved friends? I thought this would be what you wished for?" Chuckled the evil bastard that went by the name of Naraku.
"How could you! What have you done to them?" Questioned Kagome, shocked by his presence.
"Whatever do you mean miko? I have done nothing to them, it is InuYasha who has done this to your friends." Naraku replied calmly with a smirk upon his wicked face.
'Inuyasha, how could you? They were my family, your family. Why would you do this?' Kagome thought to herself, trying her best not to fall to her knees sobbing.
Kagome suddenly began walking towards one of her friends whom she called her sister, Sango. As she approached, she noticed the blood flowing from Sango's neck began to spill out even more.
"Sango, what is wrong with you? What did InuYasha do to you? Please, talk to me! Please Sango, hear me!" Screamed Kagome as she fell to her sisters feet, weeping.
'Why? Why me? Why must Naraku decieve people into doing such wicked things.' Thought Kagome, while pouring her heart out through her blue orbs. She honestly felt hopeless, what was she to do for her friends?
Kagome noticed that they were all in a line. It started withKirara then went to Miroku, then to Shippou, and last to Sango.
Was this the order in which they had been killed? Kagome slowly got to her feet and walked to Miroku, he was just as Sango, no sighns of life at all. She walked passed him over to Kirara, then walked to Shippou. She couldn't bare to see them this way.
The closer she was to them, the more they bled. What did this mean? Was she the reason for their deaths? Would InuYasha have killed them if she had stayed with the group? She slowly backed away from her friends, with a blank expression now adorned on her once bright face. This had broken her, whatever chance that she had of returning to her once joy-filled self had just been crushed harshly.
"Well, if it isn't the wench Kagome. Aren't you so happy to see your friends." InuYasha stated coldly.
Kagome kept her eyes hidden with her bangs and turned in his direction. "How could you?" She stated without any hint of sorrow, grief, or pain. The only thing that could be heard in her once angelic voice was pure malice.
"Oh, it was simple. Would you like me to explain their deaths to you?" InuYasha questioned, not waiting a second for an answer to his question.
"Let's see...where do I begin?" He asked himself more than anyone, as he walked towards Kagome. He stopped mere feet from her.
Kagome just stood there, waiting for his disgusting story. What else was she to do? She could no longer move her body and therefore could not move her hands to cover her ears.
"Ok, we'll start off with Kirara. She was quite easy. All that I had to do was give her one clean swipe with my claws, and down she went, dead." Said InuYasha, waiting to see Kagome's reaction. She didn't wince or move. She was crying on the inside and couldn't let it out.
'Why? Why can't I cover my ears? Please let this be a wicked dream, a nightmare that I can wake from...' Thought Kagome as she stood there quietly.
"Next was Miroku, he didn't even try to use his damn wind tunnel, he was too shocked. I ran to him and cut his body in half with my claws. It was quite amusing to watch the look on his face as he fell apart."
"Then there was Shippou, poor little Kitsune, he didn't even stand a chance. I ran up to him while he was in shock and just guess what he said before I sliced his head off. He said "Okaasan Kagome, please help me" Mimicked InuYasha, trying to sound like the little fox demon, while chuckling.
'Shippou, oh my son, I'm so sorry.' Cried Kagome inside her mind, still unable to move. All that she wanted to do was awake from this horrible nightmare. Or at least be able to cover her ears, hearing that her friends were dead was enough to deal with, but hearing their muderer explaining their death in person was absolutely unbearable.
"And then there is Sango. Her murder was the most enjoyable, I think. Luckily for her, she wasn't around to witness the death of the only family that she had left. You see, she was at the hot springs bathing when I found her. I pulled her out of the water and raped her over and over until her voice was completly gone from screaming, I then slit her throat. You should have seen the look of terror in her eyes. It was the most amusing thing that I have ever seen." Chuckled InuYasha.
'What! How could he! That bastard! He will pay dearly for this! Oh, Sango, please forgive me for not being there. I feel as if this is all my fault!' Thought Kagome, frantically.
"So, what did you think of that? Wasn't that an amazing story? I thought you would like to here it." Spat InuYasha.
Kagome was finally able to speak. "You sick bastard. I thought I killed you..." She said, her voice now showing emotion unlike before. The sound of her voice was sickening. The pain and sorrow could be heard so plainly in it that it could make anyone give into tears.
"Oh, but you did wench. You seem to be forgetting one thing though" He said to her, cupping her chin in his hand and making her meet his gaze.
"Naraku can bring me back no matter how many times I die" He spat at her.
He let go of her chin and she fell to the ground. She was silently weeping. There was no sound to be heard from her mourning, the only indications were the steady tears flowing from her now dull blue orbs.
'Why must I suffer? Why can't I just die? Could I then have peace?' She thought to herself.
Everything was now black and dead. The once beautiful flowers were now dead and wilted, the once bright green grass was now dull, the once pride-filled trees were now drained of their liveliness and were slowly tilting over.
The wind was blowing steady, pulling in dark, grey clouds to cover the bright blue sky. Kagome lay there, lost again in her ongoing misery. She suddenly felt a single, cold rain drop hit her face. She soon realized that she was back where she had first started. She was lost again in her depression. She was now in the same position as when Kouga found her, but the pain was worse.
She had not only lost a love, but she had lost her whole family, whom were brutally slane by the one that she had first loved.
She began kicking and screaming frantically. "NO! NO! NO! Let me die! Please let me die! That's all that I wish for! Please, grant me the peace that I deserve!" Kagome pleaded, to anyone who might be able to hear her cries.
No one answered, she was alone. Inuyasha was gone, Naraku was gone, all of her friends were gone. The whole world around her was black and crying. The rain was pouring itself upon the dead earth, hoping to revive it and wash away the wicked that had been bestowed upon it.
Kagome was all alone in this dead world. She could only lay there in the rain, hoping that death would find it's way to her.
88888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888
It had been eight days since Kouga had brought Kagome back to the den. Ever since they had made it back to the den, the skies had been filled with dark, somber clouds, which kept pouring endless amounts of rain upon the earth.
"Dammnit Kagome, why won't you wake up?" Kouga asked her while holding one of her hands in his, while stroking her pale face with the other.
Kouga had not moved from her side since they had gotten back. He was now, completly healed of the wounds which Inuyasha had brought upon him, but now there was a new wound in his heart for the love that would not awake from her slumber.
All of the wolves of his tribe were all gathered inside the main cave, due to the rain that had been pouring for the past eight days now.
"Hakakku?" Said Ginta suddenly. "Yes Ginta, what is it?" Asked Hakakku as he leaned up against the cave wall, keeping his eyes closed.
"Do you think that sister Kagome will ever wake up?" Questioned Ginta, obviously very worried about his sister.
"Of course she will! Don't ask such foolish questions!" Hakakku yelled, as he jerked away from his relaxed position against the wall, beginning to get teary-eyed.
Ginta was speechless. 'I guess Hakakku is as worried as I am...'
8888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888
"Kagome, please! I'll do anything! Please, wake up! I can't bare to see you like this anymore!" Cried Kouga. Kouga, being the leader of a tribe such as his, never showed tears, but when it came to Kagome, his pride was pushed to the side.
Kouga buried his face into her raven hair and wept into it. He would never leave her side no matter if he sat there until he died. He wouldn't leave her. He hadn't slept, drank, or eaten since they had returned to the den and didn't plan on it until she awoke.
He noticed thather cheeks had begungrowing paler and her skin going colder. She looked...dead. She looked as if she were a dead angel, whom had tragically broken her wings while flying, leaving her to crash upon this wicked earth full force, killing her the second she touched land.
"Kouga..." started Ginta. "What is it Ginta?" Asked Kouga, pulling his face from the sleeping girls face to look up to his comrade.
"Kouga, I think that you should eat this..." Answered Ginta, slowly pushing a stone with meat on it towards his fallen leader.
"No Ginta, I cannot" Said Kouga, turning away from the food and closing his eyes. "If Kagome cannot eat or drink than neither can I...I will stay by her side until she awakens..." Explained Kouga to the sad wolf.
"And if she doesn't?..." Questioned Ginta, instantly regretting his words. "Then I will die by her side..." Answered Kouga, as he once again, buried his face in her raven hair.
Ginta was hurt by his words. He cared so much for his leader and sister. He couldn't stand to see them like this. He knew that Kouga meant every word that he said. If sister Kagome did not awake, Kouga would die waiting by her side. He decided to walk away from the two and leave them be, for he could do nothing for them.
888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888
"Isn't this so tragic and entertaining?..." Chuckled the evil bastard, Naraku as he watched the wolf and miko in Kanna's mirror.
"Yes, I must say that it is..." Smiled Kikyou. "InuYasha will be back soon. We will tell him what is in store for the wolf and miko once he arrives" Stated Naraku, smirking evilly at his twisted ideas, which were constantly swimming around in his mind.
"I'm sure that he will be very pleased with the ideas that you have come up with, and I must add, the nightmare coma was such a wonderful idea." Chuckled Kikyou, mastering the evil laugh just as quickly as Naraku had.
"It was, wasn't it? The wench is so fragile that she can be broken by a mere dream...but the idea of getting Inuyasha to explain how he had murdered her friends was even more excellent than the coma itself..." Naraku stated, smirking at his genius.
"Yes indeed it was, and the best part is that every word of it is true..." Laughed Kikyou, not able to hold her insanity inside of her still clay body. Oh, how she couldn't wait to feel again. It would be truely amazing to have a real body again and to be immortal with the man that she had always loved, spending the rest of eternity with him.
888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888
Kagome kept hearing a faint voice call her name, but couldn't make out the being that the voice belonged to.
'What is going on? Am I not alone?' Kagome thought to herself as the rain continued to pour. She listened closer and suddenly she knew who it was. "Kouga" She let his name flow out of her mouth as if it were her savior from this world of black.
"Kouga! Where are you!" She screamed, pulling herself from the ground. She began to run frantically, searching for the voice.
"Kagome, you have to wake up please..." She heard the voice plead weakly. The voice was so low that she had hardly heard it at all.
8888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888
"What's this?" Naraku questioned suddenly, while gazing into Kanna's mirror. "The wolf seems to be getting through to her. She can hear him even in this coma...what is going on here?" He asked himself in pure wonder.
"What? That wench can hear him? You must do something about this Naraku! She cannot awaken!" Screamed Kikyou in frustration.
"Calm yourself Kiyou, I will find a way..." He soothed while grinning evilly.
88888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888
"Kagome, please wake up!" Cried the voice in desperation. Kagome began to hear the voice more clearly as she ran through the black forest. She felt hope tug at her weary heart gently.
She was running faster and faster towards the voice and suddenly, she began to feel her feet sink into the earth below her, pulling her down slowly.
8888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888
Well, finally that's over. I'm not so sure if I like or hate this chapter. I'm feeling mixed emotions for it, but mostly hate. I wasn't really sure what to do with this chapter once I had written it. But, I have to remember that I am making a part 2 and possibly part 3 for this. ((SIGH)) I feel like I am losing focus on this story. I feel as if things are being thrown about and as if everything is unorganized and like every chapter is it's own story and it doesn't flow the way that it should. Ah, just tell me if you are getting this vibe right now after reading this chapter. If you are, I don't know what my next course of action will be. And between school, homework, practice, and people staying at my house because of the hurricane, I have almost no time whatsoever to get online, so this in way, pulls my focus away from the story, which I find really sad because I had great plans for this story T-T. Please don't hate this story because of this chapter, I hope to fix this problem and get back on track.
