I do not own Inuyasha or any of the characters! I wish I did cause then there would be a lot more Sits.
Flashbacks/dreams
'Thinking to oneself'
Inner demon talking
The sky was clear which was my first clue something was wrong. This far up in the mountains it was always snowing, but
that bright blue sky scared me more than anything. I began running, the wind tearing at my eyes as I flew up the mountain
dodging snow-covered trees. As I reached the lower summit I saw smoke on the horizon rising over the peak were my village
was hidden in a hollow of the mountain side. The tears that fell from my eyes were no longer from the icy bite of the wind that
surged against me as I ran. My lungs burned as the cold air seared through my gasping mouth, I finally broke through
cover of the trees to the peak overlooking my village.
I remember everything seemed to stop, the wind, time, and my heart. As I sank into the snow, my face dropped into my
small clawed hands. My home was gone, the bodies of my family and friends littered the ground. Their blood staining the once
beautiful snow a deep crimson red, with the reek of fear, hatred, and hopelessness. I looked up to see the eyes of my
newborn sister and brother laying on their backs, heads towards me with their eyes wide with fear staring right into mine it
seemed. The tears poured down my face as my emotions fell into chaos, 'What happened to them? I was only gone for a few
days, where was father? How had all of us been killed?' The wind shifted and blew the scents of the village towards me, blood
was the strongest of all but there was something else. Something I almost missed, the smell of wolves mingling with that of
my dead tribe. I slowly got to my feet, carefully picking my way down the path to the first of the bodies, the bodies of wolves.
I stared down at the beasts, rage on their cold dead features, 'These are not regular wolves, they would never attack this big
of a village.' They were a light brown and well fed, so starvation was not their motive. 'They must have come with the wolf
tribe, as a first wave attack. That would have been the distraction the wolves would need to sneak behind and kill everyone.' I
continued past the wolves to the bodies of my siblings. They would never know the joy of their first hunt, of anything in the
living world, everything was now lost to them. I did not have the heart to look for my parents just yet, my soul was faltering
and slipping into darkness. "I will hunt down every one of your killers. I will kill them all, their elders, women, children, every
thing will come to death by my claws."
For days I dug graves, my hands were torn and my claws broken as I chipped at the frozen earth. Once they were at peace I
turned my back on what was left of my home and set off toward the East where the closest Wolf Clan lived. Just then a low
moaning came from the heart of the mountain, the wind ripped at my hair and clothes, it screamed at me begging me to
hear it. "I..."
"KAGOME WAKE THE HELL UP YOU LAZY WOMAN!" Inuyasha's voice sounded worse than the screaming wind. "SIT!" As I
slowly woke through the haze of my dream, I rubbed my throbbing head, all of me hurt as if I had been hit by a bus. 'What
kind of dream was that? It felt so real, everything looked so clear and vivid..." "Kagome, are you alright? You look a little pale,
did you have a bad dream?" Sango's worried voice cleared away the last of the haze as she stood up from her sleeping bag, I
had given her one from the future and she had quickly fell in love with it. I felt a smile tug at my lips, it was so nice to have
her around. She was the sister I always wanted. "KAGOME WHAT WAS THAT FOR! IF YOU HAD BEEN UP ON TIME.." The spell
on him had worn off faster than it normally did, he must have been pretty worked up. "Inuyasha." I spoke as softly and
sweetly as I could, batting my eyelashes at him and smiling gently. "Sit." "Sit, sit sit sit, sit, sit sit, and sit!" You could no
longer see Inuyasha because he was so far into the ground from the sits. The only thing you could see of him was
a bit of his white hair that had flipped over the side of the hole, his usual red robe was hidden as were his puppy ears. "Well you all
seem in an energetic mood this morning. How about we follow their example my beloved Sango?" "Miroku If you wish to keep
your hand remove it from my backside now." Said Sango dryly as the lecherous monk withdrew his hand into his kimono
sleeves with a sigh. "Well you have hurt me to the depths of my soul. Come Shippo let us go catch some fish for breakfast
before my heart is further shattered within my chest."
Shippo had been curled up against my chest hugging his tail like a pillow but was already bouncing after Miroku. "You will
never learn will you Miroku?" Shippo looked back at me. "I can go can't I Kagome?" His eyes were wide and shimmering with
hope, 'I have no idea where he learned that trick but I hope he never pulls it on me when he wants to do something I don't
like.' "Go ahead but stay close to Miroku." As the two walked away I turned to Sango smiling brightly, "Come on, let's go take
a quick bath before Inuyasha can make it out of that crater." Gathering my bathing supplies and heading off to the hot
springs just outside of camp, I heard Sango chuckle and follow me into the woods. "I don't how you do that." I stopped and
turned to Sango as she got up beside me. "What do you mean?" "Get woken up by him and still manage a smile on your face
and a merry attitude." Sango smiled at me and winked as she continued walking. I caught up to her right as we came to the
edge of the hot spring. "Cause I'm a happy ball of sun shine, or because I knew we were close to a hot spring." Sango and I
laughed as we got undressed and slid into the spring. This was a treat we did not get often and with the battle against Naraku
looming right in front of us, and I couldn't see us getting this chance again anytime soon.
"So are you going to tell me what is was you were dreaming of?" Sango had her head leaned back against a rock along the
rim of the pool, her eyes closed as she felt her muscles ease. Her body always made me jealous, I had even told her so on
many occasions even though she brushed it off and laughed at me. She was well muscled and toned from all the years of
demon slaying and even though she was scarred all over she was a beautiful woman. "I'm really not sure what it was to be
honest, I know it was a dream but it almost felt like a memory. I could feel everything even the wind burning my ears and
the snow under my feet." I told her everything from my dream my eyes cast down at the water that swirled around my
knees as they crept up to my chest. I wrapped my arms around them and rested my chin upon them, my eyes swimming as
I recalled the dream with all the accuracy that I could. My hair fell in front of my eyes startling me back to reality, it was the
wrong color or I thought that it was... I shook my head trying to clear the dream from my eyes and looked again. 'No it's still
black like it has always been. But why did I think it was the wrong color?' I slid further into my mind forgetting Sango was
even there until she was shaking me. "KAGOME?!" I fell back against the stoney edge of the pool, shocked at the fear on her
face. "What? What's wrong?!" I jumped up and looked around for the danger that had scared Sango. "You weren't answering
me. Your eyes looked funny." Her mouth was twisted with worry as she settled down beside me and changed the topic to the
jewel that hung between my breasts. "It's almost done isn't it?" I picked up the jewel and rolled it between my fingers. "The
jewel and this whole mess is almost done." I dropped the jewel and looked down at the water, black hair fell around my face
framing ice blue eyes that stared uncertainly back . "Sango what are we going to do when everything is over?" Sango looked
over at me and tilted her head as she rinsed out the suds of the shampoo we shared. "What do you mean? We'll start over, all
of us, and live like we should have if Naraku had not destroyed our peace." Her eyes were fierce with hope and thoughts of
what life could be. "Does that life include a certain pervert?" I giggled when Sango blushed a deep red and lunged at me
dunking me under the water. "Hush! What if he hears you!" I came up sputtering water and laughing too hard to answer. We
got out and redressed as we heard Inuyasha yelling the breakfast was ready. "We'll get a new start..." I whispered. 'But why
do I feel like I'll loose everything?"
