Nightmare

There was a well in the middle of the clearing. It was old, and faded, and held a tremendous amount of magic.

A figure wearing a cloak, walked into the clearing, bearing a bundle. The bundle moved, and the figure stopped still. A harsh wind blew making the hood fall off, revealing a pair of troubled brown eyes.

The bundle shifted again and a small moan slipped from it.

"Sshh."

The bundle went silent again, as the woman chanted a sleeping spell once again. Suddenly there was a flare of energy, not far behind her and her eyes widened. How did he…?

She didn't have much time. She raced towards the well, and starting chanting incantations. Her words slipped out in a blur as a red eyes monster burst into the clearing, its eyes upon the bundle.

The woman jumped int the well, a blue light taking over her. Her parting words to the frantic youkai were, "I promise you will see her again."

As the light faded, and the sun rose, the form of a small, heart broken boy could be seen, sobbing.

Kagome screamed.

"Kagome! Kagome!"

Her eyes opened wide as she gazed at her protector, whose eyes were glazed with worry. She extended a tiny hand and stroked the features of his perfect little face as of to reassure herself that he was really here.

"Shoumu?"

Seshoumaru picked her up, and held her to him in a tight grip, "I'm here, Kagome. There is no need to feel fear. I will always take care of you."

Tears blurred the little girl's eyes, as she held on to him and whispered brokenly, "But who will take care of you?"

A.N: This the shortest update yet, but there is a reason for that. A reason you will find out later. Now updates will be three times a week, but will be short, very short. This will be just for a few chapters, then we will revert back to the normal length. And no complaints or anything. Just nice, loving reviews, telling em how awesome I am, LOL! :D
