Dangerous Desire

Chapter One: Demon From Your Nightmares

By: Moonlight Jade

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Kagome sat in her futon thinking about a recent dream she'd had, it was always the same.

She stood up and began walking to the door. She felt at though she had to go outside as though

someone was waiting for her.

"Where are you going?" Sango asked while tending to the small fire they had burning on

the floor.

"What?" Kagome asked, her eyes coming back into focus.

"I asked where you were going," she said as she looked up from the small fire.

"Oh, well... I was just about to take a walk," she invented quickly.

"You wont mind if I tag along will you?" Sango asked as she poked at the fire with a

stick.

"Of course not," Kagome replied with a painted on smile. Of course she minded! Sango

going with her meant that she couldn't explore the area. She longed to find the reason she felt as

though the forest itself was calling her in. Sango came up beside her and they walked out

together. Kagome went over the dream in her mind:

Trees were all around her, the sky above was starless, the moon hidden behind clouds.

The night seemed foreshadowing gloom. Suddenly Kagome began running, something was

following her, no... chasing her. Where was everyone at? Someone was lying in the shadows,

why weren't they helping her? She continued to run but didn't seem to be getting anywhere. She

cried out for help but it didn't matter, no one would come to her rescue. Didn't anyone care that

she was in danger? She turned around and looked straight into yellow eyes full of hate.

and then she woke up. She could never tell exactly what was chasing her. It couldn't

possibly be human, could it? Those eyes couldn't possibly belong to a human. She had never

seen so much hate in someone's eyes before, not even in earlier demon attacks had she seen

such rage coursing through their entire being.

"Kagome, are you alright?" Sango asked, breaking her away from her thoughts. She

blinked as if to push away her thoughts.

"Yeah, just thinking," Kagome replied falsely, she wasn't fine, in fact she was far from

it, "Why don't we head to the hot spring after we finish our walk?" the warm water always

managed to ease her troubled mind.

"Sure," Sango replied, the concerned look in her eyes fading slightly. Kagome suddenly

stopped, an uneasy feeling coming over her.

"What's wrong, Kagome?" Sango asked, the look of concern showing on her face once

again.
"I think we're being watched," she whispered to Sango.

"I swear if that stupid lecher is out there, I will show no mercy," Sango said, her voice

sounded cooler than she felt. Her hands found their way defensively on her boomerang.

"Who's there?" Kagome demanded firmly.

"No one of importance," replied a disembodied voice, "just the demon from your

nightmares." Sango threw her boomerang in the direction that the voice had come from but

before she could get it back, a light powder was sprinkled around her and she dropped to the

ground. It seemed as though the powder had paralyzed her entire body.

"INUYASHA!" Kagome cried out as loud as she could.

"We'll have to make this quick now won't we?" the hidden being said, more to himself

than to Kagome. A black and white blur flew from the trees. Kagome was frozen with fear. It's

speed was incredible. All she could tell was that it was big, very big and it was heading straight

for her. She dodged out of the way but the creature was too fast, he spun around and ran towards

her. Rocks shifted under her feet and she slipped.

Kagome let out a sharp scream as something pierced her chest and her side. She dropped

to the ground beside Sango. She looked her in the eye. It was evident that she was conscious

because there was a look of bewilderment in her eyes. Suddenly a feeling as though ice were

flowing through her veins engulfed Kagome. Her limbs felt heavier and heavier with each

passing second. Kagome heard the sound of the creatures feet against the ground. Pounding

faster and faster and getting ever closer. Kagome tried to move but it felt as though weights had

been placed upon her body. Before she knew it, he was upon her. All she saw before she

blacked out were two big yellow eyes. Hate showing clearly through.

"INUYASHA!" Miroku and Inuyasha heard a panicked Kagome scream through the

trees. They both jumped up.

"Shippo, stay here with Kilala," Miroku said before he and Inuyasha ran out the door.

Inuyasha sped ahead with speed he never knew he had. His heart beating fast. Suddenly he

heard Kagome scream. He pushed himself to run faster, he smelled blood... Kagome's blood.

Inuyasha followed the smell of blood into a small clearing where Sango lie unmoving on

the ground. Kagome was no where to be found but her blood was all over the clearing.

"Sango, where is Kagome?" Inuyasha asked as he tried to pick her up but was shocked,

"what's this?"

Miroku came into the clearing, panting.

"Sango?!?" Miroku called out in surprise.

"I tried to pick her up," Inuyasha said, "but it shocked me." Miroku looked at Inuyasha's

hands which looked slightly red and smoked a little. He then walked around Sango as if

studying her.

"This is ancient magic," he told Inuyasha, "her spirit is bound to the earth. I haven't seen

such magic for many years. Only powerful demons can preform it this well."

"Can you break the spell?" Inuyasha asked as he searched the clearing for Kagome.

"Yes, it is fortunate I was educated in this branch of magical recovery," he said as he

reached out to Sango, he too was shocked, "This is very strong magic," he said more to himself

than to Inuyasha. Miroku grabbed some herbs out of his bag. He then tossed some of the herbs

over Sango and began changing some magical incantations. He reached his hand out again and

this time he could touch Sango. She jumped up.

"Thank you, Miroku," Sango said as she stretched her arms, fixed her armor, and ran

over to her boomerang, "Come on we have to find Kagome." She seemed in a hurry to help

Kagome.

"What happened?" Inuyasha asked her, quickly coming up to them.

"We got attacked by this huge demon. He said that he was the demon Kagome had been

having nightmares about. He was after her, he said so. He was too fast to run away from and she

knew it, I could tell she did. He stabbed her with his claws, it looked really serious. She was

bleeding everywhere. He picked her up and she had lost a lot of blood, I think she passed out and then he ran off with her," Sango told them, her eyes filling with tears, "We have to hurry

and find her." Inuyasha got up and began sniffing the air.

"I don't recognize these scents. I only recognize Kagome's," he told them, "there was

definitely a demon here I can smell him, it's just the scent coming off of him that seems strange

to me."

"What does this mean?" Miroku asked.

"I don't know," Inuyasha replied, still deep in thought, "You two go back and get

Shippo, Kilala, and all of our stuff. I'll stay here to try to figure this out."

"Alright, let's go Sango," Miroku said as he grabbed her hand and led her away.
