If Only In My Dreams - Chapter 1
A few steamy dreams bring two very different people together. A mysterious spell let's them see into each other thoughts while they sleep at night. Inu/Kag
Inuyasha Taisho was not your normal teenage senior. He wasn't popular, he dressed differently, he seemed not to like human contact and stayed away from as many people as possible, some thought he didn't have any friends at all, though he was wickedly brilliant. No one knew the real Inuyasha.
Kagome Higurashi was the exact opposite. She was very popular, the soloist for the choir, the lead role in the play, and the mvp of the track team. She had everything she wanted, enough friends, enough money, enough brains to get decent grades, plus she had looks, and turned many heads while walking down the hall. Plus she was incredibly kind, treated everyone fairly, and everyone envied her for that.
3:30 AM – Higurashi Shrine
A strange blue mist rose out of the bone keepers well and slowly made its way to the house by the sacred tree, creeping up the walls and into the open bedroom window to reach the unsuspecting young girl that lay there asleep in the bed. One inhale was all it took to complete the first half of the spell. "You will find your true one in your dreams" an eerie bodiless voice said and slowly shrank out of the window to complete the other half of the spell.
The blue mist rose with the autumn wind to reach the other, it found its second victim in a very large house across town, where a handsome, unsuspecting young man slept soundly in his bedroom. "You will find your true one in your dreams" the voice whispered again and then the blue mist dissipated into nothingness.
8:00 AM – Higurashi Shrine
Kagome woke to her little pink alarm clock whistling merrily for her to get up. Normally she hit snooze three or four times before finally getting up, but today she felt different…she felt, rested! She sat up and stretched her arms, Wow, I must have gotten some good sleep last night, I feel great! She thought to herself, and got out of bed and dressed in her school uniform of the white shirt, red bow and green skirt. She made her way to the bathroom before heading downstairs. Upon looking at her reflection in the mirror, she was surprised to find a small smudge of blue dust around her nose. How did that get there? She asked herself silently. She shrugged and washed her face and brushed her teeth and hair before heading down. After a quick breakfast and a hug from her mom and gramps, she headed out the door and down the shrine steps to meet her friends to walk to school.
8:00 AM – Taisho Manor
"Master Inuyasha, it is time for you to get up and go to school, please wake up!" the Taisho family butler Jokin said in the doorway of Inuyasha's room. "If you don't get up soon, you will be late!" He said irritably, it was a struggle every morning to get young master Inuyasha out of bed, always had been, he's such a stubborn boy. "No one will miss me if I'm not there today" Inuyasha grumbled from the bed. "That may be true, but you need to keep up with your studies, your brother Master Sesshomeru would be very disappointed if you started missing school and getting bad grades." Jokin said "Yeah, yeah. I'll be up in a few, go get some breakfast started will ya?" Inuyasha replied, grumbling. "Right away sir" and Jokin hurried off. Inuyasha sat up in bed, normally he was very groggy in the morning and had to fight with Jokin to get up, but this morning he felt...invigorated! Inuyasha jumped out of bed, threw on his favorite outfit of the normal high school dress with a twist, his overcoat was red, not black like the rest. He smirked to himself, thinking how if any other student were to wear this, they would get demerits, but because Inuyasha was so smart and his family so rich, the principal let him get away with almost anything. Normally he doesn't like to exploit his wealth, but red is his favorite color and the regular school uniforms are way too dull for his taste. Leaping to the bathroom before heading to breakfast, he brushes out his long silver hair he and his brother both inherited from their father. Looking at his reflection, he notices a small blue spot under his nose, and upon investigating finds that its a small powdering of blue dust. Not thinking anything of it, he grabs a washcloth, wipes it off and heads for breakfast then off to school in his monstrous black SUV.
Kagome and her friends arrive at school and take their seats in their first class. While the teacher is taking role, one of the guys strolls in late. Everyone has their eyes on him as he takes his usual seat in the back of the class. Kagome realizes that she knows him only vaguely, his name is Inu-something and he always wears a red overcoat instead of the normal black one. Most kids stay away from him, but at that moment something about him seemed alluring to her. She stares for more seconds until the teacher calls her name, but when she doesn't answer right away, everyone turns and looks at her – including him. Their eyes meet and she quickly turns her head away blushing and mutters a "sorry, here" to the teacher and sinks into her seat.
Inuyasha knew he was going to be late, he usually is, but he never understands why everyone stares at him so strangely as he walks to his seat. He sits down begrudgingly, waiting for his name to be called. As the teacher reaches the H's, a girls name is called, Kagome Higurashi, but she doesn't answer. Inuyasha turns his head to look for the missing girl with the rest of the class only to be struck by the quite pretty looking girl herself staring right back at him. He didn't do anything but stare back, but when she realized this, she quickly turned her head and answered the teacher and never looked back. Inuyasha was puzzled by her behavior, normally everyone left him alone, why would this girl suddenly take an interest in him? He decided he was going to keep an eye on her for the rest of the week, in case she was up to no good, he'd had plenty of tricks played on him growing up, he wasn't going to let it happen anymore.
At lunch, Kagome and her friends meet out on a bench by the baseball field. "What do you know about that Inuyasha guy" she asks her friend Sango. "Well, he sure is cute" she replies, "but it seems he stays to himself, I think his Dad and older brother own that successful pet store chain Dog Ears Inc. they actually have some pretty cool stuff" "Hmm..." was all Kagome said, her eyes misted over in thought. Kagome was wondering why someone like Inuyasha, good looking and wealthy was doing all by himself, usually his type would own the school, but he was just the opposite. Maybe I should talk to him she thought. Just then the bell rang signaling lunch was over. Everyone made their way back into school.
Kagome thought she saw Inuyasha's red coat out of the corner of her eye, but when she turned to look, he was gone. She looked around some more, but there was no sign of him. She decided then that if she saw him after school, she was definitely going to come up to him and introduce herself, she made up her mind – she was determined to get to know this mysterious Inuyasha guy.
