"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.

"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.

Chapter 7: Wake me from this Nightmare: Part 2
"Kagome?" Said the Wolf Prince, noticing his loves sudden movement. "Kagome, can you hear me? It's Kouga, Kagome, I love you so much, please wake up, please..." Pleaded the Wolf, desperate for his love to answer him.
"I have been waiting for you, I haven't left your side, not once. And I won't until you return, even if it means death..."
88888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888
Kagome looked down at her ankles, and was frightened by what she saw. The earth was slowly, sucking her down into it's depths of nothingness.
She pulled and struggled as the earth continued it's wicked doing. "No! Kouga! Help me!" Screamed the frightened preistess, as she continued in her struggle.
"No...I can't give up. I must come back to you Kouga, please help me..." Cried the helpless Kagome, now pulled in to her knees.
"Kagome, please don't give up, I know that you are strong, please, just keep going, I'm waiting for you to return..." Said Kouga, her love.
Kagome just stood there, motionless. She honestly didn't have a clue of what to do in this situation. Nothing like this had ever happened during any of her battles. How could one escape from the sinking earth?
888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888
"Now, what will you do little preistess? You have no escape now do you?" Spat the beast, Naraku. Obviously enjoying every second of the girls dispair.
"So, when will she die Naraku? My patience grows thin..." Questioned Kikyou, beggining to get impatient.
"Soon enough, just sit and enjoy her misery, for it is quite entertaining..." Chuckled Naraku.
"And when will InuYasha be back? I miss him so..." Questioned Kikyou, once again. "And what if he does not return Kikyou? What if I decided that it was time to be done with him and just take you for a prize? What would you do preistess?" Questioned Naraku, while eyeing Kikyou hungrily.
"You bastard! You wouldn't dare!" Screamed Kikyou, jumping from the floor. "Oh, I wouldn't? What if this was my plan all along? What if it was you who I had been wanting all of this time?" Questioned Naraku, rising from the wooden floor.
"We had a deal Naraku! You swore that InuYasha and I would be immortal and spend the rest of-" Kikyou's sentence was cut off when Naraku captured her lips with his.
Kikyou struggled desperately, trying to break the kiss, but to no avail. Naraku only kissed her with more force, and pulled her closer.
Naraku was the one to break the kiss. He pulled away to observe the reaction from the preistess. "Damn you Naraku, you lied to me, to InuYasha. How dare you break your word." Spat Kikyou, glaring up at him. Even though she was still dead, her eyes seemed to convey one emotion, and that was malice.
"How dare me? I have done this to you and InuYasha before to get to you, what makes you think that I would not attempt it once more, my Kikyou." Whispered Naraku, into her ear while snaking his arms around her waist once again.
88888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888
Kagome noticed that the earth was slowly stopping it's attack on her, and that the ground was beggining to harden around her waist.
Kagome jerked her head up, sencing an unfamiliar yet, familiarpresence, if that makes any sense.
"Come on Kagome, it's time to get you out of here..." Said the woman, offering Kagome a hand.
Kagome quickly took her hand without questioning, and was quickly pulled out of the earth. The woman was probably the most beautiful creature that she had ever seen. She had long, raven hair which met the ground. Peircing blue eyes, and Huge, white, wings on her back. She wore a snow-white robe type clothing.
"Are you an...Angel?" Questioned Kagome, as she studied the beautiful creature before her. "Hai, I am. I am your guardian Angel, Kagome. I watch over you, and when you are in too much trouble, as you are now, I help you." Answered the woman, smiling at the young preistess.
"My guardian Angel? I didn't know that I had one, why have I not seen you before?" Questioned the girl, obviously confused.
"That's because this is the most troublesome time that you have ever been through Kagome, your life is at stake and so is Kouga's, he has been waiting by your side while you have been lost in your slumber." Answered the Angel.
"My slumber? I'm sleeping?" "Hai, you are my child, but it is time that you come out of the dark and start a new life. It is time for you to forget the past, and start anew. Forget what happened to your friends, for they are safe with me in heaven, forget about the pain which InuYasha, Kikyou, and Naraku have brought for they will be dealt with. It is time for you to awaken from this depression, which you can't seem to escape from." Said the Angel, watching Kagome's every move.
Kagome had tears streaming down her face, and suddenly ran to the Angel, and was met by a loving, warm embrace. She cried for a moment, into the Angel, while her new found hero stroked her hair gently.
'This poor girl has been through enough, but, there is much more to come...' Thought the Angel, while stroking the girls hair.
Kagome slowly pulled away, to gaze upon the Angel before her. "How do I get out of here?" Asked Kagome, ready to leave this dark place for good and to let go of the past, for it was over.
"Take this, it will bring good luck to you and help guide you when you are in trouble, keep it close to you..." Replied the Angel, handing Kagome a necklace, which held a Blue stone on the silver chain.
"I must go for now, be safe child. I will be watching over you. Oh, and your friends say that they love you and that they are happy." With that, the Angel disappeared into the darkness, leaving a now determined Kagome behind.
Kagome quickly put the necklace on, and began to walk slowly in the direction in which she had been running before she had been pulled down.
"I'm coming Kouga" Whispered Kagome, now fully determined to get back to him.

"Just look at him Hakkaku, he won't leave her, and he is a wreck. What should we do?" Asked Ginta, now really starting to panic.
"There is nothing that we can do Ginta, just hope that Kagome wakes up soon. If she doesn't..." Hakkaku couldn't finish his sentence, and was feeling despair start to overwhelm him.
He suddenly walked away, towards the entrance of the cave and was shocked by what he saw. Outside, not only had the rain stopped, but the sun was shining brightly, the grass was beyond the greenest he had ever seen, the flowers were so colorful and full that he wasn't sure if they were even real.
"What tha...Hakkaku! Guys! Come look at this!" Yelled Ginta hysterically. Hakkaku ran towards the entrance full blast, followed by the other wolves of the pack. Eveyone stopped in their tracks to take in the beauty of the world outside of the cave. They ran outside as fast as their feet could take them. Some began hunting, for they had not eaten very much due to the rain, while some of the pups and even adult wolves played in the very welcomed sunshine and green grass.

Kouga lay there, not aware of the now beautiful world outside, but only of his sleeping love. He was shocked when he felt her stir again.
She had been stirring earlier, but it had proved to give him false hope when she stopped and did not awaken. He was once again, beggining to feel hope tug at his weary, exhausted heart.
"Kagome, can you hear me?" Asked Kouga, while leaning above her. He slowly leaned down to give her a compassionate kiss. He remained like that for moments, he was hoping with all of his heart that maybe, just maybe, she could feel his love through the kiss, and awaken.
He held his lips to hers and was shocked, once again, when he felt her push towards him, returning the loving kiss. He pulled away slowly, and looked down at his love. He felt releif flood throughout his exhausted body, when her eyes flutteredopen.
He was lost in the blue orbs, which he had been missing so much. He was speachless. 'Thank Kami...you have finally come back to me.' He thought.
"Oh, Kouga!" Cried Kagome, jumping into his arms. All that she wanted now was to be held. To give her wounded soul a chance to heal. She had lost her family and she needed time for that deep wound to heal. She was so releived to be back, so overjoyed. There was nothing more that she could wish for right now, than to be held by the one she loved so.
"Kagome, I thought that Ihad lost you. I was miserable, I didn't know what to do. I kept calling to you, hoping that you would hear me and wake up..." Kouga whispered, letting tears fall from his icey blue orbs, once more. He held her as if it were the last time he would ever see her. He didn't want to let her go, ever, and never would.
"Kouga, you will never lose me. I'll always be with you, and you with me. No matter what, even death couldn't come between us." Whispered Kagome, as she looked into his eyes. She held him close and leaned in to kiss him once more. Their lips met and they felt as if they were in heaven.

Well, there is chapter seven. I didn't want to end it here, but I am very tired and sick. I think I have the flu or something, so I do not feel very well. Anyways, I just had to get this chapter out. I hope that everyone enjoyed this. So, what does everyone think will happen to Kikyou and Naraku? What will Naraku do to Kikyou? And what happened to InuYasha? Is he dead or what? Hhmmm...you'll just have to read to find out. I love you all, good night.
