Chapter 8: The Nightmare before another Nightmare

A/N: Hello fellow readers. Wow, chapter 8! I have no clue how many more chapters are in this story. I hate to drag on stories with boring bull. Well, I do know what's going to happen in the future. - I'm thinking of a pre sequel of how Yui and Sesshomaru met. It's going along good. Except I realized I made a mistake. The ages are all wrong. So here's the correction: Sesshomaru is 800, Inuyasha is 750, and Yui is 517. Hey, maybe if you guys a good, this writer will reward you with the first chapter of Sleepless Beauty! Yeah, that' the name of the Yui/Sess pre sequel! So far it's all good, so yeah I'll give you guys the first chapter since well I'm hi on Honey Nut Cheerios! Plus there's blue hair dye on my head. It must be affecting my brain. Oh, stalling! Gomen! I'll talk you later!

The birds sang their song, welcoming the sun's rays. The light hit Kagome's face. She put up her hand, shielding her opening eyes from the burning rays.

"Good morning Inuyasha." she said.

She scooted over expecting to make contact with Inuyasha. Her eyes shot up in surprise when she found an empty bed. She soon heard loud munching sounds from downstairs. (A/n: For those who don't remember, she stayed at Miroku's house) She sprinted downstairs and found a very comical scene. (A/N: Imagine if you found this one day at your house -) She found Inuyasha, one arm bandaged up, trying to eat Cheerios with the other arm, failing miserably. Around the bowl and half the table, the cheerios were swimming in milk. Inuyasha dropped his spoon in the bowl when he heard laughing.

"Kagome! I didn't realize I was making so much noise." He said trying to pick the spoon.

"No, it's just my hearing must have gone better. Weird huh?" she said as she strode over and helped Inuyasha pick up his spoon.

"The blood link must be getting stronger." he thought cheerfully. "It happens sometimes." He just said and attempted eating his cereal again.

"Do you need help?"

"No."

"Are you sure?" she said cocking an eyebrow.

"No."

"Then you need help right?"

"Maybe." He said meekly. She got up and sat next to Inuyasha. She took the spoon and began to feed him.

"My mom use to do this all the time and ….. Oh gods! My mother!"

"What about your mother?" Inuyasha said, swallowing a successful mouthful.

"I forgot to call her!" She jumped and started to look for the phone.

"Living room!" he shouted. Kagome headed for the living room and found the phone. Picking up the phone, she dialed her house slowly, not anxious on hearing the voice on the other side. It began to ring and the phone picked up extremely quickly.

"Kagome?"

"Yes mother, it's me." She said frightened and bracing her ears for the yelling of her life.

"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN YOUNG LADY?" she yelled.

"At my friend Sango's house. She invited me over and well it got late."

"DON"T USE THE SAME EXCUSE! YOU'RE WITH A BOY AREN'T YOU!"

"Mom! You know me better than that!" (A/N: --' I guess she doesn't Kagome cause that's exactly what you're doing!)

"KAGOME YOU'RE GROUNDED FOR ONE MONTH! YOU CAN'T LEAVE THE HOUSE! ONLY FOR SCHOOL AND THAT IS IT!"

"Mom, you're overreacting!"

"You better be home in 30 minutes!" her mom yelled and hung up the phone. Kagome slammed down the phone and walked into the kitchen.

"What's wrong" Inuyasha asked, although he already heard everything.

"Inuyasha can you drive me home?" she asked.

"I can drive you. Come." He said and stood up.

"Are you sure? I mean can you drive with one arm?" she asked a little scared.

"Yes, I'm sure anyway, your house is close by. Just let me change." He turned one of his pearls and his human features took over. "Let's go."

The drive to Kagome's house was short and silent. "Inuyasha, I can't see you in a whole month! This is so unfair." She said bitterly.

"Kagome, your mother is only worried. Plus I wouldn't be too sure about you last statement." He said smirking.

"What are you planning?" she asked narrowing her eyes.

"You'll see soon my love" He stopped the car in front of the shrine steps. "Ja ne Kagome chan." he said smiling in a kiddish way.

"Ja ne Inuyasha kun." She replied and began to walk up the numerous steps. Unfortunately, her mom was waiting on top of the stairs. Her mom walked up to her and slapped her on the cheek, leaving a red mark.

"Who was that boy?"

"My friend's brother!" Kagome shouted.

"Kagome, you know what boys can do when they're alone with girls."

"Mom! Stop being so paranoid! I don't know whose worst, you or grandfather!" she shouted and ran to her room, locking the door. Tears began to escape from her eyes, drenching her cheeks with water. "Inuyasha …"

Even if my love reaches the breaking point,

1/3 of it won't reach your heart.

My true feelings are just spinning madly in the air,

My heart isn't even saying "I love you!"

On those long, sleepless nights,

The images I sent you

Whisper "That is love"

Continuously moving speech that moves you to tears

Changes into slight fever mingled with a sigh

Give me your smile with days of shine

Because with your smile,

I can withstand the cold of a frozen night

Whoever you love, wherever they are,

Your love will reach that them, right?

Don't say you can't feel it; your words may lie,

But your eyes and heart can not

The further apart you go, the more it hurts the person you love

The more I chase this forbidden love

The more my heart feels the cruel distance.

Inuyasha turned off the radio. He soon arrived at his brother's house.

"Inuyasha? What a pleasant surprise! Is Kagome with you?" Yui said, waiting by the door. Sess soon appeared at the door.

"She's grounded." he answered angrily. "She's grounded because of me."

"Bad Inuyasha. Influencing such a good girl to the bad side." Yui teased.

"Just shut the fuck up you old hag!" he shouted at Yui.

"Inuyasha, watch your tongue." Sess growled.

"Gomen, I'm just …"

"Don't worry about it. Just get some rest. It'll make you feel better." Yui said calmly. Inuyasha nodded and headed upstairs. "He's so cute!"

"That's cute?" Sess asked confused.

"He really loves her doesn't he?"

"Hmmm... but the future holds many problems for them, all of us."

"What do you mean?"

"Naraku, he's back. And he wants one thing only."

"The pearl. Oh dear." Yu said, glancing at the floor. "Let's just hope the past does not repeat itself. For Kagome's sake and Inuyasha's."

Inuyasha slumped on the twin bed, feeling the cool sheets underneath him. Hi sighed heavily and closed his eyes.

Inuyasha's Dream

Inuyasha found himself in a red dusty land. The sky was blood red and the air was polluted with the stench of rotten blood (A/N: yes, blood gets rotten people). He walked and soon found himself in a deserted city. Dismembered bodies decorated the streets along with toppled buildings. Men, women, and children, all slaughtered ruthlessly. Not a single creature stirred, not even a rat.

"What in the seven hells happened here?" he asked as he stared at the corpses. Inuyasha stirred as he heard someone approach. "Who's there?" he shouted. A shadowy figure approached him slowly. Inuyasha stared at the figure his moth slightly agape. The shadowy figured stared back with lifeless eyes.

"Kagome?" he managed to say. His heart beating slowly. She was dressed in rags that barely covered her bruised skin, once beautiful flawless. "What append to you?" he whispered lightly, though sure Kagome heard him.

"You weren't there. This happened because of you!" she shouted. Anger evident in her eyes. He rushed to Kagome and held her tightly.

"Let go of me, please." Kagome choked.

"Why? I love you?" he asked, whispering in her ear.

"Because it hurts." She answered. "Plus my body is neither mine nor yours. It belongs to master." He cupped her face, gently caressing her cheek, before bending down and kissing her. "What about your soul?" he asked, looking into her eyes.

"It's always been yours. Ever since I met you, it's been yours and yours alone."

"Then that's enough for me." He told her before kissing her passionately and lustfully. A sinister laugh filled the air, causing Inuyasha to break the kiss. Kagome started to quake in Inuyasha's arms. (A/N: Is it noticeable I'm actually using different vocabulary -)

"What's wrong?" he asked looking down upon the small figure wrapped in his arms.

"It's him, my master." she said quivering.

"Who's your master?" he asked angrily.

"I am." said a voice.

"You bastard! How dare you!" he yelled at the one and only, Naraku. Naraku wrapped one of his tentacles around Kagome, bringing her to him. He set her down and wrapped his on arm around her waist. His other hand reached to grope her breast. He smirked and licked the side of Kagome's face. Inuyasha growled dangerously, eyes tinting red and launched an attack at Naraku. He laughed as a white light engulfed Inuyasha.

Inuyasha woke up, drenched in sweat. "Inuyasha are you alright?" Yui asked, appearing by his bed.

"Just a nightmare, that's all." He said, heaving, his lungs demanding air.

"You can tell me, Inuyasha."

"I rather not recall it."

"Ok, but if you need to talk. You know who to call!" she replied cheerfully, before leaving the room to let the hanyou rest.

The Next Day

"DAMN IT! I'M LATE!" Kagome shouted before running at light speed to school. (A/N: Don't know the name of her real school so let's call it Sei High School!) She crossed the gate before the bell. "Yes just made it!" she cheered. She changed into her school shoes and walked to her homeroom.

"Kagome!" shouted a group of girls. Kagome made r way to the group.

"Hey guys!" she said as she down at her seat, which was next to the window and an empty seat.

"Have you heard!"

"I just got here."

"A new kid is attending our school. We also heard the kid was mega rich and mega hot!" they squealed in unison.

"That's nice, I …" Kagome was interrupted by the teacher, Mr.Snoozefest.

"Rise and bow." He said in a very bored voice. (A/N: You guys know the clear eye guy? Well he looks and sounds just like him!) "Today, we will have a new student in our class. Isn't it exciting? Please welcome Asakura Daisuke." Kagome's head popped up as all the girls shrieked and the boys groaned. Inuyasha, or should I say, Daisuke came in smiling his million dollar smile at Kagome.

"Surprised?" he mouthed and Kagome nodded.

"Asakura san is our new student. Good to see you know him. Now let's see where we can seat you. Well there's only one. Higarushi san, raise your hand." Kagome raised her hand and Inuyasha walked to the empty seat next to her.

"AWWWWW!" moaned the girls and guys out of disappointment.

"What are you doing here?" she asked.

"Isn't it obvious? I'm here to get an education. You know if you don't go to school you're a fool." he joked.

"You know what mean."

"I couldn't bear to be apart from you. I missed you. Plus, with Naraku running around, it's dangerous." he said pouting his lips.

"Ok class. Take out your history books, and turn to page 336. Now can anyone tell me when the French Revolution started and contributed to the world? Anybody? Anybody? Anybody at all? Asakura, can you tell us, can you?"

"The French Revolution started in 1789 and led to the destruction of absolute monarchy and the Feudal system. It also bought democracy to France and soon to the rest of Europe, eventually spreading to the world." he answered coolly.

"Thank you." Replied the teacher before turning and writing something on the board.

"You didn't even look at the book!" Kagome whispered.

"Love, when you're 750 years. You tend to remember a lot!" he whispered back before flashing his trademark smirk.

Moments Before School Ended

"Now if ab, and ba, what kind of property is that? Anybody? Anybody? Anybody? Anyone at all?"

"RING!"

"YEAH!" the class roared and ran out of the class. Kagome woke up as she heard the class stampede out of the room.

"Kagome, you were asleep the entire day." Inuyasha said as he packed his books neatly in his black shoulder bag.

"Well, yeah. He's just so boring and I don't get anything he teaches." (A/N: I feel the same way about math --' miracle I passed it with an 85)

"If you keep this up, you won't be able to graduate." Inuyasha said concerned. Kagome sighed as she looked up at Inuyasha's eyes. She swung her bag on her shoulder.

"Well, I'm trying you know." Kagome said. Inuyasha smirked and brushed his lips on hers.

"How about I become your personal tutor? Free of charge." he purred seductively. Kagome laughed as she made her way to the door.

"Now I have my own personal sexy tutor." she joked and walked out. Inuyasha grinned and caught up to Kagome. "Your mom won't mind if I come over?"

"She's not home until 7. So we have time to study." Inuyasha wrapped an arm around Kagome's waist as they walked out of the school's main doors.

"DAISUKE! HE'S OVER THERE!" shouted a group of squealing girls.

"Looks like you have a fan club full of rabid girls. Oh lucky you." Kagome joked.

"Umm, let's run, like right now!" Inuyasha dragged Kagome across the courtyard, hiding quickly behind a tree.

"We lost him girls." said a girl with pink highlights.

"They're leaving." Kagome said as she peeked out on the now sad looking group of girls leave the courtyard.

"Arrigatou Kami sama!" he whispered happily.

At Kagome's House

"What… was… the… chance… of meeting up… with… those girls… again?" Inuyasha said in between breaths.

"My legs feel like jelly after running so far." Kagome joked as she tried to walk normally.

"Come we have only two hours to study." Inuyasha said seriously and made his way to the empty shrine house. He laid out various textbooks and paper on the table in the living room. "Let's start with history." Inuyasha said grinning, picking up a very heavy and thick history book.

"Oh joy" Kagome muttered.

Two Hours Later

"And that's how you simplify radicals."

"Now I get it!" Kagome cheered. Inuyasha closed the math textbook.

"Maybe now, you will pay more attention to the sensei."

"Hey! You shouldn't be talking! You fell asleep too!" Kagome argued.

"Yes, but unlike you my dear, I know all of this." he answered defensively.

"And your point is Inuyasha?"

"Nothing! I'm just saying that it wouldn't kill you to pay attention once in a while." He said grinning sheepishly.

"Fine, I'll try. Inuyasha, my mom is due here any minute." Kagome said looking at the clock.

"Kagome, I'll see you tomorrow at school." he said packing his books. They walked to the door and Inuyasha put on his shoes.

"Thank you so much Inuyasha." she said, a smile across her face.

"Anything for you my love. Oh, better hurry! Your mom's around the corner." he said and quickly gave a kiss to Kagome.

"Bon nuit mademoiselle!" he said and rushed out. (A/N: Means Good night miss in French. -) He ran down the steps, jumping into a near by bush to avoid being seen by Kagome's mom. "That was close." he whispered before jumping out and running to his apartment.

Somewhere

"So what's the plan?" Kouga asked the darkness.

"Yeah, so what's the gig?" Kikyo asked, standing near Kouga.

"If the pearl loses its current guardian, there will be no one else to guard it." Naraku said, appearing from the darkness, grinning psychotically.

"Wait! Yu said you wouldn't kill my Kagome!" Kouga shouted angrily

"I'm not planning to kill her you flea bitten wolf, I know you're desires for the young miko."

"I know what you're planning Naraku. Don't kill Inuyasha, he's mine." Kikyo said calmly. (A/N: If you're smart, you know what this sicko is planning.)

Yui's and Sesshoumaru's House

"Sesshoumaru? What's wrong?" Yui asked as she saw her mate slump onto the bed. She laid beside him, resting her head on her head on his chest.

"This whole ordeal with Naraku. I'm afraid he'll do anything to get his dirty hands on the Shikon no Tama. He'll probably do the same thing he did to you." He sighed and embraced Yui tighter.

"I wouldn't be worried. Kagome's got Inuyasha, Miroku, and you. She'll be well protected." she said cheerfully.

"What are you saying?" he asked, his eyes emanating a cold glare.

"I'm saying with three people, Kagome will be better protected." she said returning his cold stare.

"Are you saying I didn't protect you good enough?" he barked, sitting up.

"Sesshoumaru, please."

"Answer the question wench!" he yelled, red tinting his golden eyes.

"Sesshoumaru! You jerk! This is why Rin isn't with us anymore!" she yelled, getting up and locking herself in the bathroom.

"Stupid ama." he muttered (A/N: Ama means bitch in Japanese. - see? The first thing you learn in a language is hello, good bye, and curses. Lol)

"I heard that you asshole!" Yui muttered through the door. Sesshoumaru growled in annoyance.

"Yui come out." he said masking his anger in a calm tone.

"No!" she yelled. He heard her muffled cries.

"Fine! Stay in there you bitch!" he spit out and slammed the wall, making a huge hole. (A/N: Poor wall. This scene reminds me of that scene in Beauty and the Beast) with that, he left the house.

Inuyasha's apartment

He removed his shirt and tie, tossing them to the pile of clothes in the corner. He slumped on the coach. His eyelids feeling heavier and heavier by the minute. The doorbell rang, waking up the almost asleep Inuyasha.

"Hello?" he talked through the intercom.

"It's me."

"Who's me?"

"Sesshoumaru."

"Oh, hold on." Inuyasha buzzed him in and waited by the door. "What's the occasion?" Inuyasha asked opening the door. "You rarely visit and I know you didn't come for Rin." he joked. Inuyasha stopped once he saw his brother's emotionless face, a face he wasn't seen in years. "What's wrong?" Inuyasha asked, letting in his brother.
