He changed back, after his necklace was refastened. He ran over to Kagome. She was still in that " Peaceful Sleep." He began to panic. She was going to die, and of course, he wasn't going to be able to save her. His dreams weren't silly or just dreams anymore, they were happening. And he was helpless.

He called her mom, who he thought could help. She got home, and checked her daugther's pulse.

" It's there. Faint….but there."

She looked grim. She was strong, InuYasha noted. Not one tear rolled down her face.

" We can't do anything but wait. If Kagome fights, she most likely will beat it. If she does not…she is guaranteed to lose."

" I'm surprised you aren't crying. My mom would be in hysterics.'

" I knew this would happen. See, I knew Kagome was a Goddess….but I never told her, because I knew she had to be normal. I knew eventually….someone would try to take her for her powers. And I guess, I've lived with this weight for so long, I've just kind of let it stew in my brain. I knew she would be in danger, and that she may be hurt for it. I am so grateful that she had you. You have no idea how much I am grateful. If you weren't here, she would be dead with that Naraku using her powers. I am glad he's dead but now I must pray and beg God that he brings her back."

InuYasha grabbed his girlfriend's hands. He laid his head on her chest, and started to cry.

" I never meant for you to get hurt. I never meant for you to die. I knew I worried too much about saving you…and lost what precious time I had. I know it's not what you wanted. Hell, I don't even want this. Just come back, and everything will be okay. I'll never worry about my stupid dreams. I just want you back. I can't let you go. I'll never forget. Just come back to me. I NEED YOU!"

Mrs. Higurashi pulled him up and told him to go lie down on the couch.

" Rest. If she wakes, I'll tell you."

He did as he was told and closed his eyes. He fell into a deep sleep, and woke up when her mother shook him on he shoulder.

" What, did she wake up?"

Her mother shook her head.

" Her pulse, is getting too weak. It's almost too faint to feel. I think she's losing InuYasha."

He rushed over to her. He could see Kagome breathing….but barely.

" Kagome, please don't leave me. I need you. I love you!"

She opened her eyes for a moment, and InuYasha swelled with hope.

" I'm not going anywhere you ass."

She closed her eyes, and her mother knew she was sleeping for real. InuYasha fell to the floor, the anxiety overcoming him. He started to cry slightly. But hiding it from her mother. She was strong enough to not cry, but he felt like a wuss. He couldn't handle it.

They waited for a few more hours, then InuYasha had to get home. His dad probably wanted to know if he had saved Kagome or if the rain Goddess had returned to the skies.

The drive home was horrible. He wanted to be with Kagome, and hold her close when she awoke. When he got home, he quickly told his father then called Mrs.Higurashi.

" Any change?"

" Not yet. She's still asleep. You need to give her some time. She probably needs a lot of sleep. She almost had her soul sucked out and her powers drained. You should probably get some rest too InuYasha. It's very late. Almost 3 AM. Get some sleep and you can come over tomorrow. Goodnight InuYasha."

" B-but…."

" Get some sleep. Kagome won't be very happy if she hears that you didn't sleep while she was out. Goodnight."

He hung up the phone after she had hung up on him, then had the immediate urge to call right back. He fought back it and slowly went to his bed. He hit the pillow and feel asleep in ten seconds.

Kagome woke up, disoriented. She started driving, but no one knew where. She didn't come home.
