Avonavi the faerie says: This fanfic is based on a dream I had a long time ago…sometime this year. I am not an experienced writer, even though I wrote tons of unfinished stories for well this is the 5th year for me. I honestly hope that this fanfic will be completed. But of course school is in the way. You people understand, and if you don't…um…too bad.Chapter 1 Just a Dream
Normally, dreams are just figments of our imagination. Dreams are usually insane and you can't make sense out of it. To Higurashi Kagome, dreams were dreams and nothing more. They were just a blur, nothing that she would seriously take.
Unfortunately for her, dreams aren't only just imagination.
(Dream Sequence)
Kagome ran through the darkness towards the light in the distance. Squeezing her eyes shut to take away those horrid sounds that the demons created, she dared not stray from the path in front of her. She knew if she fell off of the path, the demons would get a hold of her and tear her to pieces. Hoping that the light would be a door back to safety…back to the real world, out of this nightmare and back in her warm safe bed.
"How long is this road going to last?" She panted, she got closer to the light faster and her eyes widened.
That is…
Instead of a door back home, she realized that a small pink jewel caused the shine. Kagome stopped running and stared at the floating marble. Quite disappointed that it didn't turn out as a way out, she collapsed onto the floor and fear took hold of her.
How can I get out? What's going on?
The moment that the idea of the jewel's light keeping the demons at bay struck her, the jewel began to darken from a light pink hue into a dark purple rock. Just then when the jewel lost it's holy glow, the path in front of Kagome disappeared causing her to lose her way. At the same time, the demons that could only thrive in the shadows struck out at her.
She screamed.
(End Dream Sequence)
She was frozen like a statue in her bed. Eyes wide and not a breath came out of her quivering lips. Kagome woke up from the nightmare, both unable to move or scream in fear. She lay there for about five minutes until her mind got out of its shock; she moved her hand even though it was hard. The shock had spread all across her body, causing her to feel the same as she had in the dream. Soon she was able to move all together, curling onto her right side from her original back position. Kagome couldn't help but feel that the dream was too real to be nothing. It was clear as day in her dream and nothing was blurred as normally her dreams were.
Finally able to calm her nerves, Kagome fell into a dreamless sleep.
Kagome could not concentrate on the teacher's constant blabbering about Chemistry. The dream that she had that night kept on hunting her mind. She thought about the jewel and about where she was. For some reason, she felt a connection to that jewel.
"Kagome can you please tell us how to find the mole ratio of Ammonia that is combined by Nitrogen and Hydrogen?"
Her headshot up in surprise, the teacher had called on her.
Shoot…I have no idea! I sucked in science ever since I was born!
"Look! It's a flying mushroom!" her best friend Eri shouted and pointed out the window. Saving Kagome from the wrath of the teacher was always Eri.
Of course everyone looked outside the window.
Indeed, there was a mushroom…the teacher's eyes bulged in alarm. It was spinning. Fear the mushroom.
(Up on the school roof)
"Now you see class, when you add this chemical to the given fungi, it will levitate and spin for about a few minutes before shriveling up and falling." A random science teacher told her students.
"Ooooh…" The class said in a union.
(Back in the classroom)
With the teacher out of the room, he probably went to the principal to complain about the flying mushroom, the students began talking amongst each other. They already knew that the mushroom was the class next door's experiment. Though their teacher obviously didn't.
"Hey Kagome, there is a festival tonight at seven. Would you like to come?" Kagome's other friend, Ayumi put on her puppy eyes, "Surely you can come. It's not a school night."
"Well…I…"
"Common Kagome," Yuka complained, "It's not like there's a test next week."
"And Hojo's going to be there." Eri pressed.
One more reason for me not to go.
"You owe me." Eri's eyes narrowed dangerously.
Kagome gulped, "Ok, if you put it that way." She cringed when her friends gave out a cheer and they hugged her. She also gave herself another reason to go, it would keep her mind off of that horrid nightmare that she experienced.
The festival was crowded and was filled with glamorous lights. Delicious food was everywhere. Screams came from the hunted houses and the roller coasters.
Hojo had treated Kagome to some cotton candy, and were going to meet up with her other friends who just got off a Ferris wheel ride. Kagome was having fun, she admitted to herself a while back. She completely forgot about that dream and was chattering with her friends.
"Hey let's try out the fortune telling!" Yuka pointed towards the sign on a tent that said 'Fortune Telling.'
Kagome shook her head, "Those are just lies Yuka-chan."
"Shun the none believer…" Eri whispered.
"Shuuuunnnn…" Ayumi, and Yuka whispered creepily. It sent shivers up Kagome's spine.
"Ok let's go and try it out! You people give me the creeps…" Kagome shook her head and walked-ran towards the tent, trying to lose her friends behind. She didn't notice Eri and Yuka give each other a high five.
Kagome entered the tent. It was awfully quiet and dark. "H-hello?"
She nearly jumped ten feet off the ground when she saw a pair of ruby eyes appear in front of her in a distance. "Welcome, Higurashi."

Avonavi the faerie says: Just writing this story makes it sound darker then it truly was planned…gosh that totally wasn't expected. Oh well. Just enjoy this story or else…kidding!
By the way, review please! I write stories only if I'm motivated. InuYasha is probably going to appear in the next chapter or so…
