Kagome's P.O.V.

I woke up in the arms of the one I truly love, but the depressing thing about this morning is that this might be the last morning I wake like this. Might as well soak in as much as possible. I look over to Inuyasha and watch him sleep peacefully.

I want so badly to just wake up with him right beside me for the rest of my life, but as a famous song goes, "You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometime you just might find you get what you need." (Rolling Stones) And what I need is to get my brother back safely and die trying.

As I continued thinking, I do not notice Inuyasha staring at me with sleepy eyes. "Kagome, are you alright? You seem to be off in lala land."

I look over at Inuyasha. "Oh yes, I'm fine. Good morning sleepy head! Sweet dreams?" He pulls me closer to him if that is possible and sniffs me.

"Yes and every dream involved you." Comments like this can make any girl feel gooey inside. I couldn't help but have a deep blush appear on my face. I hate to leave this situation, but I need to keep to my mission and that is to save my brother.

"We need to get up, Inuyasha."

"But I don't wanna." He starts to place small kisses down my neck sending electricity all over my body. If he continues this I might not want to get up either…Ugh Kagome get your mind out of the gutters!

"Inuyasha, I have a lot to do today."

"Just five more minutes. I feel like I am going to lose you again, I don't want that just let me hold onto you for five more minutes." He stares at me with those deep amber pools. I couldn't say no to him so I simply sigh and relax back into his arms. If only I could be with him forever, then he wouldn't have to hold onto me like I was going to leave him.

I could feel the time ticking away and when five minutes I do not want to leave his strong arms, but I have other priorities. We both got up and separated to change for the day. I might as well spend as much time as I can before I have to sneak away.

I meet Inuyasha downstairs who is already gobbling down a mountain high stack of pancakes. Inuyasha's stomach is a black hole! I sit down and just watch him chow down on his breakfast. He ceases to amaze me every day. After consuming all the pancakes, he looks up at me and gives me an award-winning smile.

"So boss lady since Sota is missing let's head out and try finding clues to where he may be. Kikyo and that mutt, Koga, might know where that Naraku is." All I do is nod my head, knowing that his plan on finding where Naraku is will be unsuccessful.

"Hey Kagome," he says while lifting my chin up, so I am looking directly in his eyes, "we will find him, just believe." I give him a small smile and grab his hand and head outside.

We spent most of the day searching for places that Naraku would possibly be, but no such luck and trying to find Kikyo and Koga was out of the question. Sources told us that they both packed their bags up and left town not wanting to be in the cause of problems anymore. Well, two less people I have to worry about.

By the time, it was 9 o'clock at night we decided to call it quits for the night. We went straight back home. Inuyasha's parents left a note saying some important business needed to be handle and left us in charge of the house, so we were left alone with no adult supervision. What to do what to do?

Being late and all I made a quick dinner of mac and cheese and called it an early night. Not much longer after I laid down Inuyasha followed lead and came and laid by me. The last thing I heard before Inuyasha feel asleep was, "I love you Kagome."

"I love you too, Inuyasha I whispered back. Before I knew it, I could feel Inuyasha soft snores beside me. Looking at the alarm clock by the side of my bed, the time read 11 o'clock. I quickly, quietly, and softly roll out of bed and quickly wrote a note to Inuyasha and left it on my pillow and left to find to my baby brother.

It doesn't take long to get to the cemetery. I don't sense an evil presence yet, so I decide this would be the best time to pay my respects, because for all I know it could be the last. I kneel down beside my families graves and pray hard.

Hey Mom and Grandpa. What's it like up there. You know by the end of the night I will be joining you. I know you don't want me to join you both just yet, but I have to save Sota; he has so much to live for. Did you know I was able to fall in love? He is a hanyou. Grandpa you would try to exorcise him, but accept him in the end and Mom you would be just happy I was happy, but then you would have that deep joy of having grandchildren soon. He is everything I have ever wanted and I am deeply depressed that I have to leave him, so I want you to give him blessings and protect him to what is to come. I would give anything for him to be happy and safe. I love you Mom and Grandpa. I won't disappoint you.

I end my pray and stand up with a stronger feeling in my gut. I will save Sota from Naraku and destroy the jewel to end all evil. The night air is chilly, but stagnant. You can hear the crickets' chirping. I wait patiently for Naraku to show his malicious face. I start preparing my bow to fight when I hear deep cackling from behind my family's resting places. I quickly place my arrow in the bow and face the cackling.

"Now, now Kagome no need to be rash. Remember I have your brother and if you want him to return home safely I advise you to surrender your weapons and just follow me." Naraku's voice echoes through the graveyard. Not wanting to harm my brother I listened to Naraku. My last thought was 'I'm sorry Inuyasha' and then my world went black.

The pounding of my head keeps me from opening my eyes. My head felt as if someone hit me in the head with a bull dozer and then grabbed a baseball bat to finish it off. Just to make matters worse my limbs are constricted by some sort of binding rope. So my sense of movement and sight are hindered, so the only thing left is smell and the feel of the room. Taking a big whiff of the room I could only make out that the room smelt…clean…frebreze. So smelling is no good, well time to put my energy to feeling the aura of my containment. Putting my headache to the side I take multiple breaths and let the air of the room take over me. The atmosphere had a dark feeling to it, but I could sense an ounce of pureness.

My breath gets hitched in my throat and I immediately opened my swollen shut eyes. What I saw when I opened my eyes I immediately wanted to nail them shut again. In front of me was the devil himself, Naraku. "Oh, my dear Kagome, you've awoken." He purred.

What the hell! I start to struggle against the riggings. Naraku starts to laugh and puts a hand on my shoulder pushing me down. He lowers himself to where his face is millimeters from mine.

"Now, Kagome we don't want to be rash here. I let your younger brother go and decided to keep you for myself. You see when I ripped the sacred jewel from your body you left some of it to be pure and I thought the only way to taint it was to kill you, but I discovered that the only way to taint it is to taint you. So my final choice of the whole matter is to make you mine and turn you evil like me."

"Never! I would never betray Inuyasha like that I love him and only him!"

"Ah, I knew you were going to say that, so I have only a few options left and one of them is to kill Inuyasha and make you mine or just kill everyone one you love and make you watch and then make you mine. Your choice?" He laughed. I could feel my blood boil within my body. Both choices have death and making me his no matter what. I have to find a way out.

"I need time to think, Naraku…hun…" I give him a convincing enough smile, because he left. I shiver at what I said…hun…I need to wash my mouth out! Oh what am I going to do?

Inuyasha's P.O.V.

Last night we discovered that Sota was missing. Kagome wanted to leave right away, but I know her. She was tired and being pressured with that she was going to jump into the mess and then be badly damaged in the end. I care for her too much for something like that. However, I did promise Kagome that we would search for him.

The search for Sota did not turn out the way we wanted it to be. The only thing we discovered was that Kikyo and Koga both ran off. We were told they did not want to come into the mess of things anymore. Hopefully they are gone forever. Unfortunately, we went home with our tails in between our legs.

My parent's left a note saying they were going to be gone for some business, so that left Kagome and I alone. Nothing romantic happened though. The night went like this: Kagome makes mac and cheese for dinner, we ate quietly, she decides to call it an early night, I find her asleep, I tell her I love her, and I then fall asleep.

Falling asleep listening to warm heart beat is the best feeling ever and knowing that I get to listen to it for the rest of our lives is even better. Sleep comes natural to me and dreaming of Kagome is the best part.

~Inuyasha's Dream~

The humming of a sweet melody plays in the background of me sitting down by the Sacred Tree. I watch a small girl run around with her dark raven hair flowing against her back and two small black dog ears with silver tips perch on the top. I hear her soft giggling while she chases a purple butterfly. For some reason I feel contentment fill my heart.

The little raven-haired girl abruptly turns around and faces me. Her striking gold eyes catch my attention. This little girl is practically the mirror image of Kagome, but my eyes and dog ears. The child gives a huge toothy smile and runs to my arms screaming, "DADDY!"

Automatically my arms are open to catch the small girl and spin her around and hold her tight in my arms. I stare intently at her. She is the most beautiful thing in the world.

"Daddy, I love you sooooo much!"

"I love you much much more." I nuzzle her nose. She instantly giggles.

"Daddy, I need you to go and save Mommy." I look up at her confused…Save Mommy? Kagome?

"Sweetie, you mean Mommy, like Kagome?" I asked.

"Why silly who else would be my Mommy?"

"Okay, what do you mean by saving Mommy?" I asked still confused.

"She's in really big trouble. If you don't save her then there would be no me…" I could see the tears starting to build in her eyes. I tightly squeeze on to her and start to rock her. "Ssshhh…baby girl…I'll save Mommy, but I don't know where she is."

"It's not that hard Daddy. Think of the place where her family is buried and you will find her. Now hurry up." I laugh at her impatientness…I guess she gets that from me and her kindness from her mother.

"Thank you…" I try to think of her name, but nothing comes to mind.

"Inume, silly, after you and Mommy. Now go!" I quickly kiss her on the forehead and watch her run after the butterfly from earlier.

~End of Dream~

I gasp for air as I awaken from the dream. It seemed so real. I needed to tell Kagome. I quickly turned to touch Kagome, but she wasn't there. Oh crap, Inume knew Kagome was in some sort of trouble no wonder I had the dream.

Wait…Kagome in trouble…I have to save her.

I hop out of bed and spring to the door. Now where would she be…Wait Inume told me that she would be where her family now laid in rest…the cemetery?

I'm on my way Kagome don't give in.
