Chapter 17

Unknown Dream Assailant

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Evil laughter echoed everywhere. It was everywhere and would not fade.

"You are nothing, and soon Inuyasha will be mine."

"Who are you to decide? Is it not his decision." Kagome heard herself say. She was surrounded by darkness.

"But he has made his decision. You cannot have him. He hates you. Who are you to expect him to care for you even an a small amount. Remember the day you left? Remember the ominouse silence that followed. I would think that would be enough to convince you."

"It's not true!" Kagome's voice faltered. Then came the attack. Kagome was attacked and thrown to the ground. Soon her and the unknown assailant and her were fighting hand on hand. Kagome would swing, and miss, her foe would swing, and it's target would be met. Kagome was loosing badly.

"Inuyasha!" She screamed.

"He can't help you.he won't help you.you will die. He will be all mine to deal with as I please." Came the menevololent voice. Kagome was wearing out fast. WHAM! Finally, the back of Kagome's hand made solid contact, but then a punch twice as hard as the slap she dealt was given to her. Kagome fell to the ground, then quickly got up.

How can I win.I can't see a thing.I can only guess when I'll hit him. or her.or what.I can only blindly hit the air.I don't know how much more I can take.it feels like.I've been fighting for hours.fighting for my body.my soul.like I'm being torn from my own body.like my soul is being shredded.

"Inuyasha! Save me!" Kagome swung her arm, and another punch was landed on her unknown foe.

"You think you are winning? Foolish, worthless, girl. You fight your own friends even as you fight me. Pathetic.You are nothing." Kagome screamed. A purple light came from her hands and her unknown foe was thrown away. Kagome quickly stood up.

If only I had my bow and arrows.but what good would they do.I can't see.

Kagome was attacked form behind. She was thrown face first into the ground. She could feel herself bleeding but didn't take notice. Kagome lashed out but didn't hit anything. Blows upon blows were then dealt to Kagome, and she couldn't stop them. Kagome could feel herself loosing.

The fists stopped. Kagome tried, vainly, to look about her. Before she could do anything about it, she felt something wrapping around her. She tried to kick, but soon enough her legs were bound. The laughter rang out into the darkness, but it seemed more distant than before.

I feel so hot.why.am.I.so.hot.so.tired.sore.hot.

Kagome's body began to go limp.

"Inuyasha.help.me." Kagome managed to mumble.

I can feel him now.he.he's here.somewhere.

Kagome wanted to scream, but her assailant was choking her. Now Kagome could tell she was loosing herself again until she could feel him again.

I can feel him.holding me tightly.he's here.he's protecting me.

"I'll be back for you Kagome. You will not be so fortunate. The next time we meet, your friends will not be able to help you, and then, you will be utterly helpless." The evil voice that rang out so loudly seemed faint, but none the less, the threat still rang out and rebounded against the invisible walls that imprisoned Kagome.

And weather Inuyasha knew it or not, he was protecting Kagome, he as saving her life. He had saved her life. Kagome's unknown foe vanished and Kagome could feel her mind slipping into a deep dreamless sleep. She was safe for the rest of the night.
