Kagome had just come home from school. She closed the front door behind her. She was remembering the hard day at school she had just had. She had taken a really hard test in math. ((Don't u hate math?)) ' All I want to do is just relax after that stupid test.' It was then Kagome realized how quiet the house was. ' Mama and the others are probably out. I hope they'll be back soon.' The house wasn't just quiet, it was silent.
Kagome felt uneasy with the silence and decided to look around the house to check if anyone was home. She was walking down the hall, with the dining room on her left, when she heard heavy breathing through the thin, paper, screen. Kagome slid open the door and walked into the room to a sight that completely shocked her.
Her family was there in the dining room, but laying on the floor in pools of blood. Standing over them was Inuyasha, his back turned to her. Kagome looked closely and saw blood covering his hands and dripping from his claws. It was then that Inuyasha noticed her presence. Inuyasha turned around so he was facing Kagome.
Kagome's heart was pounding in her chest like it wanted to rip out of her ribcage. Inuyasha's eyes were entirely blood-red. He had two purple marks on his left cheek and a purple crescent moon on his forehead. Inuyasha smiled and said "Kagome." Suddenly, Inuyasha was right in front of her. He wrapped his arms around her, pulling her body to his. His hands were leaving blood stains on the white shirt of her uniform. Inuyasha used his right hand to hold the right side of Kagome's face to his chest, right where his hear was.
Kagome could only stare with wide eyes, full of shock, that would not close. She could not move, or speak, because of her shock. Her heart still pounded like it wanted to leave her ribcage. Kagome could hear Inuyasha's steady heartbeat pounding through her head. It was the only thing that filled her thoughts. Kagome then became aware of Inuyasha's body moving with the steady rythmn of his breathing.
Kagome wasn't sure how long they stayed like that when Inuyasha put his chin on top of her head. Every heartbeat of Inuyasha's seemed an eternity. Inuyasha moved his from her face and it joined his other hand in holding her body to his. All these movements were very slow in registering in Kagome's mind.
Kagome could hear Inuyasha breathe through his nose deeply. His hands twitched and suddenly he let go of her and ran off. Kagome noticed he was still full youkai as he ran off. Kagome blinked but her family was still as they had been. She walked numbly to the phone in a different hallway. She picked up the phone and with trembling fingers dialed 911.
As she put the phone up to her left ear she looked at a mirror that hung on the wall in front of her. She had a blood-stained handprint on her right cheek. ' Wait since when is there a mirror here?' Suddenly, everything hits home as she gazes at her stained cheek in the reflection. She drops the phone and doesn't even hear the emergency operator asking questions. Tears stream down Kagome's face but don't wash away the handprint. Kagome sinks to her knees, screaming, "NOOOOOOOO!"
Kagome sat up with a jerk, silent now. She is drenched in cold sweat and her face is tear-stained. ((though she doesn't realized any of this.)) Suddenly a familiar voice next to her asks, "Kagome, what's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?" Kagome nodded, afraid to look at his face. Afraid his eyes would be all red and he would have purple marks on his face.
Inuyasha's voice spoke again, "I heard you scream. Are you all right?" Kagome felt Inuyasha lean forward in concern and realized he was on his knees right next to her. Kagome didn't trust her voice so she nodded again. Kagome looked at her clothing with a critical eye. She was not wearing her school uniform but her pajamas. Kagome lay back down.
Kagome felt Inuyasha sit back. She could feel his eyes on her face. ' Was it a dream? It felt so real. Why is Inuyasha staring at my face? Oh God! Is the handprint still on my face?' Kagome gingerly felt her right cheek, rubbing her fingers over her cheek and jaw. Her skin felt smooth and a little moise. No blood-stain. She brought an index finger to the bottom of her right eye and traced the moist trail to her chin. ' I cried?'
Kagome's heart had been beating at that crazy pace it had been during her dream, but it was starting to slow down now. She was sure Inuyasha could hear her heartbeat and she was right.
Inuyasha sat right next to Kagome. He watched her rub her fingers over her cheek and jaw, then trace the trail where tears had fallen. Inuyasha was worried. Kagome's heart was beating at an incredibly fast pace, and had been for some time, was just starting to slow down. Kagome hadn't looked at him once, or spoken.
Kagome willed herself to turn her head and look at Inuyasha. What she saw made her smile. Inuyasha's were their normal amber, he had no marks on his face, and he was gazing at her with an adorably worried look. "I'm fine Inuyasha. It was just a nightmare, nightmares fade." Kagome was proud of herself for her voice hadn't trembled once. Inuyasha growled worriedly, but nodded and left the hut.
' Gone back to sleep in his tree. Good. That way he won't bother me about my nightmare.' Kagome rolled onto her side, facing the doorway of the hut, and soon fell into a dreamless, peaceful sleep.
