Truth with Some Dreams.

Inuyasha stood out in front of the school, avoiding entering the school. He was standing off away from the other students, not really wanting to answer questions about his and Kikyo's now dead relationship. He didn't know how but the word of the break up had already spread throughout the entire school, and it had only been four days since it had happened. Everyone just bothered him on why they were broken up, what had happened between the two, how he could be so cruel, or them telling him Kikyo wasn't the one for him anyways. He loved Kikyo, at least he thought he did, he was sure she was going to be his life mate. She just needed some time to straighten herself out.

Inuyasha heard a voice practically scolding, what he assumed to be a student at the school. He shook his head and began to walk away, that is until he heard the voice say Kagome's name. His ears perked up on his head as he turned on his heal and headed back towards the direction of the voice. Inuyasha didn't understand why an older woman would be yelling at someone else about Kagome. As he got closer he hid around the corner, peering around it to watch and listen to what was going on.

"Make sure this note gets put in that Kagome girl's locker!" The older woman screamed at the cowering boy. "Oh, I almost forgot. I wan't a report on her reaction tomorrow. She needs to believe that stupid hanyou gave it to her, got it?" The cowering boy nodded his head, using a shaking hand to grab the note the woman was holding out towards him. "If she doesn't believe he gave it to her, then you better watch your back. Meet me here tomorrow morning, like always." With that said the woman walked toward the parking lot towards her car, never noticing that the hanyou she spoke of heard the whole thing. Inuyasha on the other hand was fighting the urge to follow her and find out who she was. Instead he hid from the male student as he past then followed him towards Kagome's locker.

The boy's hand shook as he took out the master locker key as he proceeded to opened Kagome's locker; his eyes darting around making sure no one was watching him. The kid seemed innocent to Inuyasha. He figured something was going on and was slightly surprised he'd never heard of it before. Inuyasha, being the caring hanyou he was, decided just so the boy wouldn't have harm done to his family he would put on a show, then when the kid left he would find out what the note was all about. Inuyasha snickered at himself for thinking he was caring, who was he to care about someone else's life? Though he couldn't see putting peoples' lives in danger for no reason.

The boy had closed the locker and shyly ran away, still trying to not cause attention to himself. Seconds after the boy left, Kagome walked up to her locker with an excited Sango talking into her ear. Inuyasha watched as Kagome opened her locker and picked up the note. The girls' faces fell from their happy smiles to aggravated frowns. Kagome angerly opened the letter, reading it to herself before she passed it to Sango and grabbed her books for class. Inuyasha saw the boy watching from around a corner, fidgeting with his hands. Smirking, Inuyasha headed towards Kagome to put on a show for the culprit.

"Oi, wench!" Kagome turned and glared at the silver-haired hanyou as he neared, Sango glaring towards him also.

"What do you want, Dogboy?" Kagome spat at him. She really wasn't in the mood that morning. She was tired of getting notes, she was tired of being accused for why Inuyasha and Kikyo were over, and she was tired of hearing his arrogant voice.

"Keh, I just came to ask if you got my letter." Inuyasha noticed her eyes became little slits and her anger rose even higher.

"You fucking little prick head!" Inuyasha turned to look at the fuming Sango behind him; surprise showing on his face for only a few moments before he regained control. He was expecting Kagome to blow up on him not Sango, but he figured it was better for the boy if more than one person believed that he wrote whatever was in that letter. "How DARE you threaten Kagome! You're so lucky we're in school or I'd have your balls on a silver platter! To think you were my friend! You're nothing but a disgusting pig!"

"What she said." Kagome firmly stated, slamming her locker, grabbing Sango's arm, and proceeded to storming away. "I can't believe him!" Kagome exclaimed when she felt she was far enough away from the irritating hanyou. The boy who had placed the note found his way to his classroom, seeming satisfied with what had happened. Inuyasha noticed he was gone and went to find Kagome to find out just what exactly the note was.

"Kagome." Inuyasha called as he neared the still fuming girls. They both spun around towards him their glares freezing him to his spot. Raising his hands in defense he decided to try and make peace. "Can I please just speak?"

"No..." Kagome put her hand in front of Sango to silence her.

"Let him speak. I wanna hear what he has to say." Kagome spoke, anger clearly still evident in her voice. Inuyasha lowered his hands and took a deep breath.

"Okay, so, I heard this woman yelling at a kid and she mentioned you, Kagome. Then she said something about me and a letter, threatened this kid to make sure you believed it was from me or his family will be in trouble." Kagome's foot tapped on the ground, obviously not believing what he was saying. "So I put on a show to make you believe that it was from me, so he could tell her, and his family would be okay." Kagome raised an eyebrow as if to ask if he was done.

"Makes sense." Sango shrugged, only to receive a shocked face from Kagome, and a relieved look from Inuyasha.

"Can I see the letter?" Inuyasha politely asked, not wanting to anger the still fuming girl in front of him. Kagome took a deep breath trying to calm herself down before handing over the note. Inuyasha opened it and began to read it;

'You better watch your back. I'm coming for you. ~ I.T. ~'

Blinking a few times Inuyasha tried to understand what was going on. Kagome rummaged through her bag and pulled out a handful of the little note.

"I've got more, tons more. First one I received on my first day here, in my first class. Oddly enough you're in that class too. Hm… how ironic." Kagome seethed, obviously not believing his story, or the fact he'd never seen them before. Inuyasha grabbed for the notes and leafed through them, noticing all of them were threatening and all of them were signed I.T.

"I didn't write any of these, Wench. Stop looking at me like I did." Inuyasha barked making Kagome take a step back, her anger never faltering.

"Prove it!" Kagome challenged the hanyou. He had to admit he loved her spark, but it got rather irritating at times.

"Fine, tomorrow I'll bring you to school. You can see the kid give his report to the woman." Inuyasha dryly stated. Kagome eyed him suspiciously before nodding and agreeing. Sango on the other hand was looking around the empty hallway, realizing that they were extremely late for class.

"Um, guys… I say we skip today." Inuyasha and Kagome both looked over at Sango, confusion written on both of their faces. "Um… if we get caught right now, we'll be in a lot of trouble."

"Oh god! Please, I don't need any more detentions!" Kagome flipped grabbing both Inuyasha and Sango's arm, dragging them out the school to Inuyasha's car. "Take us somewhere please!" Kagome begged in a slightly demanding tone.

"I'll take my own car Kags. In fact, I'm just gonna head to my house. Call me if you need me." Sango hugged Kagome and waved as she walked away towards her own car, glad that she was out a day in school.

"I'll have my dad excuse us tomorrow. Let's just go back to the house." Inuyasha got in the car followed by Kagome. He noticed she looked quite relieved to be leaving school, even if it was with him who was the supposed 'threatener.'

"Good. I so need to catch up on the Zs." Inuyasha smirked as he drove towards the house. He admitted to himself that Kagome was rather cute at times.

.~*~*~*~

Kikyo ran into the house, she had once lived at, not bothering to knock, and ran up to her sister's room. Kikyo had been panicked since she found a box of threatening notes in her friend's house addressed to Kagome that morning and even more panicked when Kagome never appeared in class. Flinging open her sister's room shock erupted from her at the sight before her.

"I...Inu...yasha." Kikyo managed to stutter in her shocked faze.

"Kikyo..." Inuyasha stared at the dark haired girl from the bed, where he sat holding a freshly awake Kagome.

"Kagome..." Kagome mumbled, a smile spreading across her face and a small fit of giggles erupted from her. Inuyasha looked down at the girl in his arms and slightly smiled before catching himself and looking back up to Kikyo, his smile completely gone. Instead he was on guard, ready to protect Kagome.

"Why are you here?" Inuyasha asked roughly. Kikyo ignored him as she made her way over to the couple on the bed, sitting down on the other side of Kagome, taking her out of Inuyasha's protective grip, and laid her half awake and confused sister against herself. Even though Kikyo knew he felt something for her sister, seeing him hold her made her feel as though she was breaking all over again. Inuyasha, not liking Kikyo holding Kagome, let out a low growl to warn Kikyo to not to try anything. He was fighting with himself, trying to decide what to do; he felt like he betrayed Kikyo somehow by holding Kagome, but he didn't want Kagome to end up hurt if Kikyo decided to do something. "Answer me." Inuyasha demanded, pushing his need to rip Kagome out of her arms and leap out the window.

"Don't get brash with me, Inuyasha. I came to see if my sister was still okay..."

"Keh! Of course she is. She is in my care." Inuyasha cut her off being royally ticked that Kikyo didn't think he could protect Kagome.

"You can't protect her from everything Inuyasha."

"Watch me." He snarled out. Kikyo knew he'd try his best to protect Kagome, but it angered her. She wanted it to be her, not her sister. Kikyo took a deep breath and played with Kagome's hair, brushing it towards the back of her head, trying to calm herself before she did something stupid. She kept reminding herself that she should be happy the two have feelings for one another and she needed to support them. Who was she to defy them happiness with each other?

"I didn't come here to fight, Inuyasha. I was genuinely worried for my sister. Would you care to know why, or do you think you can figure it all out by yourself?" Inuyasha glared, not saying a word and Kikyo took that as a yes. "Well you know I moved in with my friend, well this morning, while I was getting ready, I noticed there was a shoe box on the table. I looked inside and notice it was full of notes addressed to Kagome. They were all threatening her... all from you." Inuyasha sat up right, his eyes wide.

"Your friend is the old lady trying to frame me? What the hell did I do to her and what's it got to do with Kagome?" Inuyasha looked gently at Kagome sleeping in Kikyo's lap. At some point or other she had passed out again.

"How do I know they're not from you?" Inuyasha gave Kikyo a look that clearly asked if she was dumb, which caused Kikyo to sigh. "You're right, like always. I don't know the answers to your questions though..."

"Find out." Inuyasha bluntly said; not giving her an option. He wanted to know what his Kagome had to do with any of this. His Kagome... he liked that idea a lot. Once this was all over he was going to make it true. Kikyo rolled her eyes before gently laying Kagome on the bed and headed towards the door. Inuyasha followed her, not because he wanted to be near her but simply because he wanted to make sure she left.

"Keep her safe." Kikyo softly stated placing a small kiss on his cheek before walking out the front door, leaving in her car. Stunned in place, Inuyasha just watched her drive off.

.~*~*~

Kagome yawned as she woke up from her nap. Glancing over to the clock sitting on the night stand, she bolted up grabbing the clock, bringing it closer to make sure she had read it right. A light nock was heard at the door and she placed her clock down, walking over and opened the door to be greeted by Inuyasha and Sango.

"Sango came to check on you. I heard you moving around so I brought her up." Inuyasha stated before walking away and leaving the two girls alone.

"How you been? I was expecting a text at some point but it's now six and you hadn't said anything." Sango walked to the bed and plopped down, her body relaxed knowing Kagome was okay. She gave as much trust as she could to Inuyasha in this whole subject, but she didn't want her gut to be wrong and Kagome end up hurt. Granted she had known Inuyasha for a long time, but being raised in a family of demon slayers she couldn't help her doubt that he'd flip and brutally kill anyone who crossed his path. She had heard the story of a miko who traveled from the future to feudal Japan who was killed by an inu hanyou, the one which she had fallen for and he fallen for her.

"Yeah, sorry, must have been more tired than I thought." Kagome sheepishly smiled. Sango waved her hand to dismiss Kagome.

"So, what do you think we should do about, you know who?" Sango motioned her head to the door. She didn't want to say his name just in case he was in hearing range.

"I don't know. I'm going to trust him for now; I guess it depends on what happens tomorrow with that woman." Kagome admitted with a shrug in her shoulders.

"Sounds good." The air around the two girls was thick with the awkward feelings from them.

"Well then…"

"Games?"

"Yup. Good for me!" Kagome smiled brightly at Sango as they both walked out of the room and Sango lead Kagome to the game room.

.~*~*~

Everything was black. You could hear people happily chatting and walking. I couldn't see them. I stuck my hands out in front of me and walked blindly towards the voices, but no matter what I did I never got closer. Giving up I fell to the ground, clenching my eyes shut as I beat my fist into the ground. I hated the fact that I couldn't see anything. All of a sudden I was lying on my back and I could feel myself lying on someone's legs. I could hear them talking… I could hear her. She was the one holding me, but who is she. I know I should know this; I just can't remember. I feel the exhaustion throughout my body and decide to fall asleep.

"You smell nice." I mumble before I completely pass out, and the voices become deaf to my ear leaving me in the dark abyss alone.

"You have to protect her." I try to turn around and find the speaker of the voice, but the darkness is still all I can see.

"Who must I protect… and how?" I ask giving up on finding the voice, deciding something had made me blind.

"I will show you her fate, if you stay near her. You must protect her. You must leave her side." I felt like I was flying at high speeds. Color started streaking into my site before I stopped. Standing before me was a girl in a small green school uniform.

"Inuyasha snap out of it!" She screamed at me. I should know who this is.. but I can't remember. All I know is that she's the same girl from before. I try to speak to her but nothing comes out. What is it she keeps yelling at me to snap out of? Why is everything I see tinted red? I hear snarling. I look around and see everyone near me looking scared. Except for her, she looks determined. Why is everyone scared? Who is growling so viciously? It took me a second to realize it was me. I was losing control to my demon blood. That's why my veins feel like they're on fire. I have no control in this form. Woman, run! Go away! I might kill you! Why won't you run away? Get away from me!

I watch as the demon blood in me grabs the girl, digging my claws into her flesh. I hear her scream out in pain. I see the pain all over her face. Tears started falling down her face. I hate seeing her cry. I hear myself snarl some more, angrier. She pushes herself forward and kisses me; right before the demon blood rips her apart, loving the feel of her blood all over our claws.

"KAGOME!" I scream, this time it was actually heard. Everyone was in fighting stance, ready to kill me. Who wouldn't want to? Hell, I wanted to... I killed her. My Kagome. I look at my claws as the world around me becomes dark again. Only difference this time is I was in the light, I could still see her blood on my hands.

"Now you see why you can't be near her. You are a danger to her. You will do the same, for it is your fate." I can't take my eyes off my claws, her blood staining my hands. I felt like ending my life right there. What was the point if I didn't have Kagome?

"I have to stay away from her?" I manage to gruffly mumble out, my voice sounded so disconnected.

"It's the only way." The voice started to fade, but another rang through.

"Inuyasha… Inuyasha…"

"Inuyasha, wake up!" Kagome slapped Inuyasha in the face. She knew better than waking someone up in a nightmare, but he just wouldn't stop yelling and mumbling things she didn't understand. He didn't wake up, but he did calm down and ended up snuggling his head into her lap leaving her stuck on the couch. She was grateful Sango had left hours ago. While Sango was there they had decided to trust Inuyasha for the most part, because of all the things he has done for Kagome in the past.

Kagome couldn't help but run her hand through his hair. Staring at his face, thinking about how cute he was. He looked peaceful lying in her lap, she even thought she saw a smile itching at his lips. "You smell good." He mumbled before snuggling deeper into her lap. Kagome's eyes widened in shock; for some reason that seemed familiar to her. Deciding to dismiss the thought of déjà-vu, Kagome laid her head against the couch arm, drifting into her own dream filled sleep.

Waking up a few hours later, Kagome noticed she was covered with a blanket and Inuyasha was no longer lying on her lap. Deciding she was hungry, Kagome got up and headed to the kitchen only to find Inuyasha standing by the stove cooking something. She quietly got closer and peaked over his shoulder to see what he was cooking, causing him to turn and look at her. Her face flushed red noticing how close his was to hers. It took Inuyasha a second to notice why she was blushing and stepped to the side and faced the pot again.

"Thought you'd be hungry when you woke. Making ramen." Kagome laughed grabbing a glass to get a drink while keeping her distance from Inuyasha.

"Thanks for covering me up, and making ramen." Kagome smiled up towards him for a brief second. She felt her cheeks still flushed from the moment before.

"Keh." Was the only reply she received as Inuyasha grabbed bowls and spit the ramen equally into them. "Grab yours." He stated as he took a bowl and fork, walking into the dining room and sitting down, chowing down on his bowl of ramen. Kagome grabbed the remaining bowl and a fork and went and sat across from Inuyasha in the dining room.

"So… Where'd you go with Miroku and Kouga the other day?" Kagome asked trying her hardest to make it seem like she didn't care. Inuyasha looked up and studied her, noodles hanging out of his mouth for a brief second before he slurped them in.

"Guy stuff." He stated before looking back at his bowl noticing it was half empty and started getting depressed.

"Like what?"

"We go and train once every weekend. Kouga and I spar while Miroku practices his monk stuff." Kagome nodded playing with her noodles; she only ate half of them realizing she wasn't as hungry as she thought she was. "You gonna finish that?" Kagome shook her head and pushed the bowl towards him, which he took eagerly shoving the noodles into his mouth as fast as he could. After he finished he took both bowls into the kitchen and placed them in the dish washer. He kept his distance from her as much as he could; his dream was still the main thing on his mind. He knew that was the only way she had gotten so close without him noticing before; he was so lost in thought trying to decide what to do he just didn't notice her there. He couldn't smell or hear her coming.

"So… what was your dream about earlier? That is if you don't mind me asking…" Kagome asked trying to get closer to him, but every step she took he took one farther away. It felt awkward to talk to someone who was completely across the room.

"Doesn't matter. Goodnight." Inuyasha left the room as fast as he possibly could. He had decided. He'd protect her every way possible. Even if it meant he'd have to avoid her. He'd only be there when she needed him, but other than that he'd be gone.

~Dear Book of… Whatever this is…

I'm so confused. With my feelings and how things are going. I... I think I may have fallen for Inuyasha, to an extent. I can't fall for him. He is Kikyo's… well was. I just, I don't know anymore. He doesn't help me understand either. One moment he was nice, I vaguely remember him and my sister talking. I'm not sure if it was a dream or not, but he said he'd protect me. He said it like it was stupid to assume he wouldn't. Why would he protect me? I guess because I'm Kikyo's sister, but she and he aren't on good terms at the moment. Oh, I don't know. I haven't even known him that long.

My life has been so busy recently, ever since my grandparents died. My world just turned upside down and did a few twists. Well, I best get to bed. Inuyasha goes to school early and he was going to show me who writes these threatening notes. Well that is if he isn't as weird as he was tonight. He wouldn't even stand fifteen feet near me. Is something wrong with me? ~
