About Damn Time

Dream 'Thought' "Words"

Chapter 1-Pleasant and Not So Pleasant Dreams.

'Hello! Kagome here, it's a beautiful summer day and I'm back after a week of shard hunting with Inuyasha and the others. Now I can finally sleep without some demon attacking or that lecher of a monk trying anything. Just rest and relax until Inuyasha comes to get me. But first I want to know what tickled the inside of my leg just now?'

"Kagome!"

"Inuyasha?" 'Where are you?'

"Wake up Kagome!" Inuyasha lunged at the beast diving for the sleeping miko. Shippo, wide-awake now, just noticed that Sango hadn't woken up when he and Kilala moved from her arms to stand.

When Kagome finally woke she screamed, not because of the demon but because of the hand holding her thigh. The hand was attached to a monk with a large bump on his head.

"That explains the tickle." She removed his hand and stood up but wished she hadn't been dreaming when she remembered her panties were in her bag. She had put them there after her and Inuyasha fell in the mud. "That's the last time I forget to pack more clothes." Kagome said. 'I don't mind mud on my skirt but I can't were those like that.'

"Kagome some help would be nice!" Yelled Inuyasha

She pulled an arrow from her quiver and took aim "Inuyasha! There's a shard of the Shikon Jewel In his chest and two more in each of his eye's." she released the bowstring and sent an enchanted arrow at his head.

"Pattthetic mortal." The demon hissed as it dogged her arrow "Wiithh the power of the tthhhree shards of the sssacred jewel my sight has ssurpasssed the boundariesss of time. Over a year ago I saw my ssself standing over your body in this very clearing." He held out his hand to block the hanyo's attack and immediately pulled it back when he saw the damage the attack would do to his arm.

"Sango wake up!" cried Shippo struggling to get out of the Tijiyas tight grasp. "Get up Miroku and help me out!"

With a swift kick to the head from the Kitsune, the monk was jolted awake to find his hand no longer held Kagome's leg and he had a large bump on his head from something hard. "Sango's hirikotsi." 'Damn so close.'

"If you're done talking to yourself Miroku I could use a hand." The Kitsune cried. "Inuyasha and Kagome are fighting a snake demon. I'm sure they could use help from the both of you but Sango wont wake up!"

"What could be wrong?" Miroku got up and examined the Tijiya's body for wounds under the careful watch of Shippo. "Look here. There are puncher wounds on her leg."



"Did the demon bite her?"

"Most likely Shippo. It's a large snake bite."

"What can we do?"

"Shippo do you see that bush over there, the one with the yellow berries and the other one with red leafs?"

"Ya."

"Get me as many of those berries and red leafs as you can and find me the two biggest leaves from that tree you can find. I'll suck out the poison."

"Ok but keep your mouth on her leg and no wear else."

"First of all Shippo you really should stop listening to Kagome and Sango's conversations, and second I would never dream… I wouldn't do th… just get the things I asked for please I promise I'll behave."

Meanwhile

"Die you snake bastard!"

"Ignorant dog. I will kill you for my brotthhers deatthh."

"I can't remember every demon I've killed pal, you'll have to refresh my memory." Inuyasha took a swing with the transformed Tetsuiga only to miss again and fall hard on his back.

"Your sssword isss powerful but you lack the sskill to weld it. Now I see my vision before me."

Inuyasha sprang to his feet. "How's this for skill! WINDSCAR!"

"Sssuch power! I cannot avoid the dissruction. I'm sssorry brothher I could not avenge your deatthhh." With that the wind scar destroyed everything but the jewel shards.

"I'm glad that's over." Said a relieved miko.

"You alright Kagome?" Inuyasha gathered the shards and gave them to her to put with the others. "Aren't you going to put those away?"

"In a minute. Let's get back to the others." Kagome walked behind Inuyasha and took her jar of jewel shards out of her bra to add to the collection. "He looked like he had you for a minute."

Inuyasha huffed an aggravated "Feh!" then grabbed Kagome and jump the distance their battle took them in three great strides back to the camp in time to find Miroku crushing some herbs together in a pestle while Shippo wetted down the unconcse slayers forehead.

"What's going on here priest? What did you do now? Why didn't you and Sango help us? "

"Quiet, Inuyasha! if I get the ingredients out of proportion to one another, it could change from an antidote to a powerful poison." Answered the monk.

"Antidote?" piped Kagome "Antidote for what?"



"Sango got bit by the snake demon. Miroku is fixing a remedy for her." The little fox rung out the cloth and rewet it to place on her head.

"Why is it that every time I come to the past one of us gets poisoned?" asked Kagome.

"The demon must have a more human form. That bite is too small for the size of its demon head." Inuyasha said.

"Wait, The snake said he was going to avenge his brother. Don't you remember when you killed his brother?" asked Kagome as Miroku removed a tealeaf ointment wrap to put on the antidote leaf he mixed up.

"This antidote won't cure her, I don't have the proper ingredients for that, but I can stop the spread of the poison. When we get to Kaede's she can help me make a cure."

"I don't…Oh the snake demon that posed as the water god."

"Will Sango be ok, Kagome?" asked Shippo.

"I'm not sure, Shippo."

"I was up most of the night." Piped Inuyasha. "I had just nodded off when I heard Miroku moving around, so I broke a limb and chucked it at his head then I smelt the demon. I got down from the tree and searched for it. Turned out I was following a group of lackey snakes."

"Then it was you that hit me." Said an aggravated monk.

"And while you were gone, the real demon bit Sango and was going to bite Kagome next!" said Shippo.

Inuyasha grabbed Kagome's bag and started rummaging for something until he found his prize. "Ramen!"

"Put that back Inuyasha! This isn't the time and besides, you can wait until the sun rises in the morning when we make breakfast!" yelled Kagome.

Miroku stopped grinding his medicine long enough to look up and realized… "Kagome?"

"What?"

"The sun is up already." He went to Sango and placed a second leaf on her cave.

"Good." said Inuyasha "Now can we eat?" he asked in annoyance and was rewarded with Kagome's foot in his chest. (He should be happy she didn't put it between his legs.) Kagome removed her foot and began to warm a pot of water.
