Kagome went inside and shut the door. She called out to Sango and Rin, but got no answer. Figuring they went out, she locked the door, and went downstairs to her room. She was a little surprised her friends weren't at the apartment waiting up to hear all the juicy gossip, but at the same time she was a little relieved. After all, she was more than just a little confused about her feelings. She would love this time to herself to ponder what she was feeling.
She washed her face, got in her pajamas, and climbed into bed. She barely noticed what she was doing, so deep in thought was she. 'I really liked hanging out with Hojo tonight, but I still have feelings for Inuyasha. What am I going to do? Do I continue to go out with Hojo, and hope I gain feelings for him? Do I try to go out with other guys and see if I find a connection with any of them? Do I risk my friendship with Inuyasha and tell him how I really feel?'
Kagome fell asleep thinking of her problems. As she slept her problems joined her in her dreams. She dreamt that she was at a park with Hojo, and Inuyasha came by. He looked at her with a painful expression on his face. Suddenly Inuyasha changed into a huge white dog. He growled at Hojo menacingly. Hojo stood in front of Kagome with his arms out wide, and ordered her to run. That seemed to make the dog angry and he lunged at Hojo, while Kagome stood frozen in fear. Just before Inuyasha reached Hojo, Kagome woke up in a cold sweat.
Kagome lady in bed panting. ' What the hell was that all about?' she wondered. As she lay there contemplating the meaning of her dream, something caught her eye. She looked over to see the white lace curtains over her window fluttering in the breeze. ' Wow, i must have really been out of it last night. I don't remember opening the window.'
Kagome walked over to the window and looked outside at the quiet street. She listened to the wind rustle the leaves. Eventually she was calm enough to fall back to sleep. Lucky, she didn't have anymore nightmares.
A/N Sorry I've been gone so long. I really didn't mean to be. A lot has happened recently, not all of it good. but here is the next chapter to my story. I still stand by the fact I refuse to leave a story half finished. Until next time.
