R.E.M.

((I do not own any characters in this story))

An endless corridor, that's all there was. Dark stone gray walls plastered with demonic living vines that quivered with each passing, chilling wind. Murky red water blanketed the hard tiled floor like a thick molasses. The only source of light now and then would be a faint candle hovering here and there, flickering and fading with each second. The air was chilled and the roof of the corridor could not be seen with the naked eye. One would need a pair of binoculars and a searchlight if so. The presence in the air was not inviting and the corridor never ending unless the walls often shifted to open a new passage, only to lead into another labyrinth of corridors.

Kagome, sadly, was the only one who graced these corridors with her lively presence. The air was thick and the smell of decay stung her nose as she once again went through the same dream night after night. All she needed to do was reach the light at the end of the tunnel and she would wake up. No such luck though, it was different this time. This time as she passed the same route things seemed to be different. The walls did not shift or churn and the vines were stiff as wood.

She sighed as she stopped for a while to catch her breath. A sudden rumble in the water shook her from her pause and her body twitched as she stood up straight. The next thing she heard was a low growl and her head turned in the direction it was coming from. The growling started to increase in volume and then dissipated. Kagome's breathing grew deeper as her heart raced in her chest, heaving in and out like the air space was lessening. What happened next just set her off like a rocket, a sound like an explosion went off in the same direction and she hi-tailed it in the opposite direction running as fast as her legs could carry her. The adrenaline had already kicked in as she raced down the dark passage, through this corridor and that, around this corner and the next until she stopped abruptly. Her thoughts unclear and her breathing heavy, her face went pale white as these two words raced through her mind.

Dead End.

Nothing but a wall of vine covered stone. Looking around anxiously for some miracle or opening in the wall she felt around with her hands, but there was no such luck. She searched again, gliding her hands over the cold gray stone bricks softly caressing the vines with the side of her wrists until she hit a snag. One of the vines had latched onto her wrist in the process and started to haul her towards the wall. The vine felt like a nasty octopus's tentacle and was about half as thick as one. All she could do was tug and heave in her desperate attempts to break free.

Alas with one final tug the vine surrendered to her might and snapped under tension. Kagome did a little inward victory dance at this but froze when the growling returned to her ears. She had completely forgotten about it and the creature that was looming in the black shadows.

Again her heartbeat began to pulse, faster and faster with each second. The thwart padding in her chest bellowed loudly under her rib cage as she stepped back once more trying to get as far away from the direction she was faced yet not trying to get tangled up by the living vines. Then there was dead silence. Still frozen in place Kagome swallowed the lump that had formed in her throat and heaved inward. Her sweat was no longer trickling down the side of her face but streaming. A few seconds later, Kagome screamed. A pair of Demonic crimson red eyes leaked through the darkness soon followed by the head and face. Kagome tensed as she was now looking at her stalker. It was Inuyasha, his demon blood was dominating him and he was snickering as he slowly made his way towards her fear filled form.

Still, Kagome's heart beat' like a drum as she watched the possessed inu-hanyou raise his razor sharp claws. They were covered in dried blood and fresh blood too, they smelled like a rotting corpse and looked like they were just used to dig out a dead persons body. His lips graced a devilish smile as he held up his right hand and cracked his knuckles. The sound was painful to hear, like rocks clattering against each other as he flexed his fingers.

Kagome quivered as the crazed hanyou approached her slowly, feet splashing in the murky water. There was nothing Kagome could do to escape; her lungs felt like they were on fire and her fear was strangling her voice box not allowing her to speak. The hanyou took one more step and was directly in front of the quivering girl. He snickered evilly, which sent shivers down her spine before placing his bloodied hand on her shoulder. He bared his fang as his devious smile grew and in almost a low growl he spoke, his voice low and husky.

"Times up" Inuyasha flashed a toothy smirk then placed his other hand on her shoulder pushing her against the wall. He held her down with his weight as the demonic green vines coiled themselves around their victim, binding her to the cold stone brick wall. At this point Kagome was stiff as a board. She couldn't move let alone speak anymore she seemed to be paralyzed.

Inuyasha then brought his right hand up to pat her shoulder, he drew back his arm with his claws bared and then brought it down on her shoulder painfully tearing the skin. Kagome shrieked as tears spilled from her eyes trailing down her cheeks as the pain spread through her arm and upper torso.

'Why is he doing this' Kagome's thoughts roared as her vision started to blur. She was completely immobile and helpless; all she could do was watch as he tortured her body. Inuyasha stepped forward and hard pressed his chest into hers. He cupped her slanted head in his clawed hand and smirked.

"This was fun" He snickered before he wrapped his arms around her shoulders and began to lick the gash on her shoulder, relishing in the sweet taste of her pure unsoiled blood. By this time Kagome had already lost too much blood and she blanked out. The last thing she remembered was feeling the rough texture of her companions tongue slide over her shoulder, and the tightness of the constricting vines.

Kagome's scream echoed through the house as she sat ramrod straight in her bed, her bad dreams seemed to have mutated into a nightmares.

'Thank goodness it was just a dream' Kagome sighed as she plopped back down in her bed and peered at her pink alarm clock, it was only 1 AM Saturday morning and she still had a quite large amount of time before she was needed to get up. Kagome slowly reached her hand up to her right shoulder just for clarification.

'Yup, it was just a dream…nightmare.'

"There's no way I'm going to fall asleep after this…" Fear still welled up in the pit of her stomach, she would need to avoid sleep until about 8:00 AM if she wanted to avoid any chance for having that horrible nightmare again.
