Chapter 1 - The Midnight Fight
'There he is again.that man. All I can see is his shadow and a bright white light surround him.'
Kagome started to run to this mysterious stranger, but could not get any closer to him. The faster she ran, the farther away he became, until everything became pitch black. She was awakened with a startle and sat up quickly. Beads of sweat were pouring down her face and down inside her school uniform. Her heart was beating rapidly and her breathing was heavy as if she had gone for a long jog. She looked around and saw that everyone was sleeping. They had to camp underneath the edge of a cliff. It had been a long day and the village wasn't for another day's journey.
She quietly got out of her sleeping bag and walked along a path with a few trees and a stream running along the side of it. She stopped and looked up at one of the trees.
'There he is.that dog demon that started this whole journey.' She thought.
She looked down as her mind turned over thoughts of anger and rage for just thinking about him.
'Oh! He makes me so mad sometimes!'
Then she looked up again. He was sleeping. He looked so peaceful just laying on the tree branch; his beautiful silver hair moving at just the slightest touch of the wind. She noticed one strand stray away from the others and land just across the bridge of his nose. For some reason, she just wanted to brush it away from his peaceful countenance. His face had an expression she had only seen once before. It was relaxed as though he didn't have a care in the world. It was the same expression she had seen the first time she ever saw him.
'The way he looks right now makes it seem as though he isn't the selfish jerk I know.'
Kagome let out a sigh. "If only Inu Yasha were a wonderful man. Maybe even like the one in my dream. Sadly enough, I know that will never happen." She said to herself.
Just as she was finishing her sentence, Inu Yasha's ears twitched at the disturbance. He opened his eyes and looked down to see Kagome standing there. He stretched his arms and rubbed his eyes lazily. With a sleepy voice he asks, "What are you doing up?"
She was startled to realize that he was awake. She takes a step back and says nervously, "I.I couldn't sleep"
'God I hope he didn't hear me! I don't need to get into an argument right now.' She thinks to herself.
He jumped out of the tree and landed in front of her. He lifted up an eyebrow as if questioning her last remark. He then shook his head as if to disregard any more intruding thoughts.
"You really should get some sleep. We have a long day ahead of us tomorrow" he says.
"I know, but, like I said, I can't sleep." She replied with a quiver in her voice.
"Are you OK?"
"Who me? I'm fine! Just a little restless I guess." She says with a little giggle in her voice, trying to hide her nervousness.
'If it wasn't for those damn dreams, I wouldn't be standing here having Inu Yasha ask me if I'm OK. Wait a minute.he's concerned?'
She looks at him awkwardly, wanting to ask him, yet a little afraid to. He takes notice of this action and begins to eye her suspiciously.
'Why is she looking at me like that? I didn't do anything, did I?' he ponders.
"What are you staring at?!" he yells.
At first, she was startled by his action, then the anger she had once felt before, blew up inside of her.
"I was just thinking! Gods! You are such a jerk sometimes. And here I am thinking that you might have actually been concerned!" Kagome yells back.
"So what if I was?!" he says extremely annoyed.
Kagome would have had a retort, but his last statement caught her off guard.
"You.you were worried?"
Now Inu Yasha was the one taken aback.
'Shit! Why did I just say that?! Why did I show any emotion?!'
As if to make the situation worse, he blurts out the first thing that came into his head. "Well.uh.if there was something wrong, then we wouldn't be able to go and collect the jewel shards!"
'Ah shit! Now I'm in for it!' he thinks.
Kagome gives out a low growl. "That's all you care about?! SIT! SIT! SIT!"
And low and behold, the mighty hero now has his face pummeled several feet into the ground as Kagome storms off.
'Ohhh! He pisses me off so much! Why can't he act like a gentleman and treat me with respect for once in a while! I can't believe I fell in love with that asshole!' Now her last remark stops her right in her tracks.
"What did I just think?! But that's impossible! I couldn't love a selfish jerk like that?"
She continues to walk again, lost in her thoughts. When she finally arrived at the camp site, she decided to lay down inside her sleeping bag. Shippou stirred a bit, but quickly fell back into his state of slumber. Kagome turned towards the fire, staring blankly at it while she thought about what just happened. Soon, however, drowsiness began to overcome her and she fell fast asleep.
