-------------And we begin.
I heard screaming, no, yelling, coming from behind me. Arrows whistled around me and it took all my strength to dodge them all. I dont even know why they hated me, I am just a hanyou, but why do they hate because of it?
Monster, beast, pathetic, weakling, stupid, ungrateful, half breed, filth, garbage, there were so many names they called me. But they never hurt me, well, not like this. They did hit me, and beat me if they could, but the were never like this.
A arrow ripped through my shoulder...
----------------Inuyasha.
Inuyasha eyes darted open. He was covered in sweat. He had another nightmare. He hadnt had a nightmare since he was young, so what did this nightmare mean? You think that now, having come so far, hving friends he could trust, he should be able to completely lose his past, not have nightmares about it. Inuyasha wiped the swet from his forehead, trying to calm down.
"Inuyasha are you alright?" Kagome whispered. Inuyasha jumped back slightly, accidently banging the back of his head unto a tree. Cursing to himself he took a deep breath and whispered, "Kagome. Why are you awake?" Kagome crawled across the campground to Inuyasha, who lifted her up and gestered for her to walk down a small trail. "Well, I'm awake because I had a nightmare and I couldnt go back to sleep. And I'm guessing you did too?" Inuyasha nodded. "Do you wanna talk about it?" He shook his head. "Ok." 'Look at him, he's so....He isnt acting right. He looked serious, and...Sad? What did he dream about?' Kagome thought to herself.
Walking down the path, Inuyasha replayed the dream in his head. He didnt actually remember that day. He actually didnt even recognize the scents, area, people, even his body felt different in this dream. He knew it was him as a child, or someone as a child. "Inuyasha." Kagome waved a hand infront of his face. "Uh? What? Oh, what?" Kagome sighed, "I asked you if you wanted some ramen. Since it seems we wont be going back to bed anytime soon, I thought food would be nice." Inuyasha nodded dumbly.
Kagome handed Inuyasha a cup of instant ramen. Inuyasha smiled at her, finally out of his daze. She smiled back, but Inuyasha noticed the grin wasnt up to her usually standard, "Whats on your mind?" He said gruffily, trying to be show he cared in his way of trying not to show he cared. Kagome smiled at his actions, he was so sweet, "That nightmare I had last night. Its just really bugging me." Inuyasha looked at her, "Wanna tell me about it?" Kagome looked back to Inuyasha slightly suprised, "Are you sure you want to hear about it? I dont think you'll like it very much." Inuyasha spat out a quick, 'Keh!', before going on to say, "Well as long as its a nightmare, I think I should be able to handle it. Its your dreams I am worried about hearing." Kagome giggle letting Inuyasha see her shining smile. He smiled back, happy to be able to make her laugh.
"So are you gonna tell me 'bout your nightmare?" Inuyasha asked lightly.
"Yeah... Ok so, it was about... Oh nevermind. It wasnt really that bad once I think about it." Kagome looked up at the night sky.
"Then what the heck is bugging you then? Its not like anything really happened!" Kagome looked back to Inuyasha, she coudlnt tell him about her nightmare. " Kagome's eyes widened, then she looked away, 'Is that how Inuyasha had lived? Did he really think that was normal?'
"What is it?" Inuyasha put his hand on Kagome's shoulder.
Kagome turned around, "Its nothing. Dont worry about it."
"Whatever." Inuyasha rolled his eyes. Kagome smiled when all of a sudden, Inuyasha's stiffened and sniffed the air, "C'mon." He grabbed Kagome and pulled her on his back.
Inuyasha flew through the trees, Kagome on his back, "INUYASHA!! WHAT'S GOING ON?! IS IT NARAKU?!" She yelled over the wind. He kept silent. Then, he stopped in front of a circle on villagers. Inuyasha dropped Kagome off his back, walked up to the group of men who were obviously attacking something, and side kicked 5 of them at once. The men slammed into the ground. Instantly, all the other men turned to the red clad hanyou. "DEMON!!!!" The man closest to Inuyasha yelled, causing Inuyasha to glare at him growling. The man shrunk back before the man, who seemed like the leader, yelled, "ATTACK THE DEMON!!!"
The men charged Inuyasha. Who simply jumped up, letting the first rows of men run into eachother and knock themselves out. Then he landed behind the back of the group, kicking and punching all the men out. Kagome watched helplessly, what was he doing?
Inuyasha finished of the last men, who fell to the ground, unconcious. Then Kagome saw something. In the middle of the piled up men, a small girl, only about 9, and a small boy of about the same age were lying, injured on the ground. Kagome ran over to the children, these kids were definetly what the men were attacking. Inuyasha just stood there, watching Kagome and the kids.
The children both had cloaks over the magority of them, covering their heads, shoulders, arms, down to their knees. So you could only see their cut up faces. "Plea-please dont hur-hurt us..." The boy moaned out. The girl tried to sit up, lifting herself up with on arm, while holding the other infront of her as a shield, "Pleas-" the girl fell back to the ground, crying out and grabbed a large cut on her side. Kagome shuffled over to the girl, pulling her onto her lap, "Why would I hurt you? And what were those villagers attackin-"
"They're hanyous." Inuyasha cut Kagome off mid-sentence.
"What?" Kagome stopped trying to scoot toward the boy and looked at Inuyasha, who was still standing about 10 feet away with a angry look on his face. Kagome whipped around at the pained cry that sounded from the boy behind her. The boy had tried to get up, putting pressure on a deep arrow wound in his arm. "Inuyasha. We have to take them back to camp. Can you please help me?" Inuyasha shrugged and walked to the boy. "DONT TOUCH ME-" The boy cried out in pain again. Inuyasha grabbed him, picking him up, and began walking back to their camp. Kagome struggled to stand with the limp little girl, "Dont worry." She whispered to the little girl. "Tha-thank you." The little girl smiled weakly.
At camp, Kagome and Inuyasha laid the hanyou children down on their sleeping mats. Kagome woke the gang up giving them what information she could about the two hanyou children. Inuyasha removed both children's cloaks. Kagome sat beside him has he pulled the hooded cloth of the first child, the girl, who was now unconcious.
The girl's hair was thick and a mixture of silver, blue, and white with white streaks, that went down to her shoulder blades in a full, messy sharp cut. To big fuzzy cat ears stuck lazily from the sides of her head, matching her hair except for the white tuffs that tuffed from inside them. She had a long fluffy tail twisting to lay on her stomach, it was the same color as her hair, but with more noticable white line striping it, a small blue ribbon tied near the end. She had to incredibly light blue lines streaking down her cheeks from directly below her eyes, 4 white lines, much thicker then the ones under eyes, striped the sies of her cheeks. Her tail swished slightly, she moved a clawed hand onto the end. She wore a white kimono with feminine white hakama, both cover is large light blue lines, almost replicated a snow storm. A white bead necklace hung around her neck, with one, dark blue crystal.
Kagome crawled to the boy. Her had darker blue hair, with the black highlights in it. His hair reach down his neck, ending with a point at the bottom of his neck. It was pointed, thick but it stayed in line with his head, making the back look like a upside-down teardrop. Thick dark blue triangles lie on his cheeks, and 5 black stripes lined the sides of his face. He had a tall, it was covered in thick fir, lying beside him. The tail was black with blue striped to match his hair. He wore a short sleeve kimono and hakama colored a a deep blue. Black lines were like cuffs up his arms, they didnt quiet reach all the way around, they fully covered the outisde of his arms, but then stretched into thin points before attaching on the other side. The striped reminded Kagome of the stripes on the back of 'Pikachu', a character from a show Souta used to watch. A dark blue bead necklace hung on his neck, with a white jewel at the standing out from the rest.
Kagome looked to Inuyasha, he just began to banage the children's wounds. He started with the boys arm. Still silent. Sango brang the girl over and began cleaning the stab wound on her side. "Kagome?" Inuyasha asked after finishing bandaging the boy. "Yes Inuyasha?" Inuyasha stood up. "Come on." Inuyasha put out a hand for Kagome to grab. She smiled before accepting the offered help, "Ok."
"So what did you want to talk about?" Kagome asked.
Silence.
"Do you know those children?"
Silence.
"Didnt you want to talk to me?"
Silence.
"Do you want to go have breakfast?"
Silence.
"Do you want ramen?"
Silence.
"Do you want to kiss me?"
Inuyasha's eyes buldged and he fell onto his butt, "Wha-WHAT?!?!"
Kagome smiled, "Gotcha."
Inuyasha growled. Kagome walked over to Inuyasha, rubbing him on the head, "Thats what you get for dragging me out of camp and then giving me the silent treatment. So what is it?" Inuyasha groaned, "Its just. I had to get away from there for a while."
Kagome looked up at Inuyasha, "Then why did you want me to come? If you wanted to be alone, then why invite someone?"
"I said I wanted to get away. I didnt want to be alone."
Now Kagome was throughly confused, "What do you mean Inuyasha?"
"Those kids. Its just..." Inuyasha trailed of, though Kagome could tell he was trying to find a way to tell her how he felt. "Inuyasha, its ok. I understand."
----------------Ok.
Ok, so, please tell me what you think! I really dont know where this is going, so lets see!! But, I wont tell you what kind of hanyous the kids are just yet... But feel free to guess! Though it probably easy, yet, you'll probably only get it half right.... And about the dream, remember it. I dont know how I am going to use it, but I am pretty sure I will end up bringing it back into the story....
