(Jean/Kirei's POV)

As we got to the hideout…

"We can't have you ruining my plans, Kirei." Tamazuki smiled sadistically. He was still constricting me close to him, and honestly, as much as this would've made me squeal at first, right now I was terrified out of my life.

Looks like my usefulness has faded.

"Tamazuki." I heard Inugami mutter as he approached us, "What are you doing?"

"Kirei has betrayed us." He bellowed, throwing me at Inugami, "Keep her somewhere, should Rikuo come looking for her, I want you to keep her away from him."

"Understood." At that, Inugami grabbed my shoulders to keep me from running. Not like I could, I mean seriously, I'm in the hideout of the Shikoku Hachijuhyakki, where there are thousands of demonsthat couldkillme, the 7 Phantom Travelers, Inugami and Tamazuki with the Devil's Hammer. What were my honest odds of escaping?

As Tamazuki walked away, I found myself saying "You'll never beat him."

He stopped and looked at me over his shoulder, his cruel smirk grew longer, "What was that, Kirei?" He said.

"You'll never defeat Nura Rikuo. He's stronger than you." Why the hell was I so brave about this?!

"Oh, really?" He padded back to me, grabbing my chin and prompting my head up again, but I know this one was a threatening one, "If you're still so confident in him after I defeat Rikuo, I'll praise you. But remember to know your place, the only reason I'm keeping you alive right now is because Rikuo cares about you."

"You arenothing compared to Rikuo."

"We'll see who's the dominant one soon enough, Kirei, no need to worry." He leaned in closer so his face was barely an inch from mine, "I'll defeat Rikuo. By then we'll see who's the stronger one." Just to mock me, he put a small kiss on my cheek.

I was speechless. Not because it stunned me, but because it scared me. Tamazuki was sadistic, what he just did was enough to scare me to death.

I could only hope that Rikuo would come soon. Not like I'm the damsel-in-distress type or anything, I'm perfectly capable of protecting myself, you wouldn't believe the trauma I inflicted on my classmates back at home because someone made fun of my otakuness. But honestly, think about it, I'm going against Tamazuki, how can I honestly win if it's against him? He who controls the Shikoku Hachijuhyakki, he who wields the Devil's Hammer, how can I honestly win?!

Rikuo… help me…

(Inugami's POV)

I just watched as Tamazuki kissed Kirei on the cheek. I will admit, I was a bit jealous. Even though I knew Kirei had betrayed us, I still couldn't help but feel a bit jealous at what I was watching here.

"Inugami, go on and hide her somewhere." Tamazuki ordered as he left.

I nodded. My fingers squeezed at Kirei's shoulders, I didn't want to hurt her but I had to, it was Tamazuki's orders. Being the loyal dog that I am, I had to obey.

"I'm sorry, Kirei." I muttered as I escorted Kirei to that blank space in between the floor.

I helped her inside and stepped in myself, cautious not to let her escape.

"Why did you betray us?" I begged for her answer.

She was silent.

"Kirei, please. Just answer."

More silence.

"Kirei, c'mon, tell me." My heart was breaking here.

"It's because I care about Rikuo!" she replied as quickly as she could.

"You care… about that Nura Rikuo…?" I mumbled, dumbfounded.

She solemnly nodded.

At that, I punched the floor below us, "Why does that brat get everything?! Human friends, yokai friends, so help me, even you! Why does he get everything?!"

She just stared at me with these pity-filled dark brown eyes. "Inugami…"

"No, I can't let my emotions get in the way." I sighed, getting out of the hole and closing it, "I can't let my feelings get in the way of Tamazuki's plans."

(Jean/Kirei's POV)

I sighed and put my head on my knees. This started out perfectly, it's ending tragically.

"Aww, what's with the sad face, Jean?"

Shocked, I looked up. "Gah!" I squeaked, backing away.

There was a 15 year old in front of me. He had straight black hair that clung to his face perfectly, his narrow face was pale skinned and his eyes were a deep blue. He was wearing a white short-sleeved polo shirt, the first button left open, he also had black slacks, a chain attached to his belt and pocket, and black shoes.

"W-W-Who are you?" I asked. "And how did you know my name?"

"I'm Tai," He smiled, "I'm the one that sent you here."

"Why in the world would you do that?"

"You're the latest user of Project Dreamland. It's a Project that sends Otakus to their favorite animes. I'm in control of Nurarihyon no mago, Letter Bee, 07-GHOST and Fairy Tail."

"Why me?"

"Well… at first you were just a test to see whether you'd jump on Inugamibyou-Tanuki Tamazuki, Inugami or Nura Rikuo the first chance you got, but seeing as you didn't, we allowed you to continue your time here."

"So I'm guessing the other people were female fans?"

Tai had a look that said 'I'd rather not bring that up' at what I said. "It seems you're wasting your opportunity however." He continued.

"It's not like I'm the one that wanted this." I said sheepishly.

"Well, there's nothing I can do except watch you, since it's your dream and I'm not in control of it."

"WHY?!"

"Because I can only give you your dream, I can't control it. You are in control of your dream."

"Could ya at least tell me how I get back?" I asked.

"I cannot send you back until you accomplish the arc, since that's kinda the rules here in Dreamland." Tai sighed, "Right now, your real body is just sleeping in bed. Every day that passes here is just 10 minutes in the real world."

"But what if I die here?!"

"Then…" He trailed off, "On second thought, I have no idea. No one has died so far."

"Eep." I mumbled.

"Well, I'll just be around. Holler if you need someone to talk to." He said, fading away, "I just hope you can accomplish this arc— alive."

At that, he was gone. I moaned to myself, this is going to be horrible. I'm stuck as a hostage against Rikuo, Tamazuki could have me killed any minute and I have no idea what happens if I die.

What am I supposed to do?

OKAY! New chapter is out! XD

Sorry if it sucks, I still have writer's block. And yes, I have no idea how the story got to that either. All I know is my cousin suggested it.

See ya net chapter!
