A/N: Konnichiwa, readers! This is my first fic of Inuyasha, so be nice, okay? :) Enjoy reading!
Disclaimer: I see these every single time I read an Inuyasha fic, and I just don't get the point of it. All of you already know that my name isn't Rumiko Takahashi, because I wouldn't be here right now if I was! I'd have Inuyasha tied up and. . Um. . -sweatdrop- ;; Let's just say I don't own Inuyasha and leave it like that. -slinks off-
Chapter One :: Dream
It was a dark night. Kagome lay awake in her bed, dark eyes staring up at the ceiling. It had been three days since she was kidnapped. She had escaped, but only narrowly, and the kidnapper was still on the lose. She would be getting a body guard tomorrow, since she was too afraid to be left alone anymore. Kagome had been getting nightmares for the last two nights she had slept and she wasn't anxious to sleep again. She coaxed her eyelids to droop and she yawned, hoping it would put her in a sleepy mood. It didn't. She was too nervous and apprehensive about tomorrow, and she wasn't very keen on sleeping when she knew that more nightmares would invade her head.
She turned on her side, staring at her desk, her eyes unblinking. She closed her eyes again, furrowing her brows in annoyance. Buyo, her pet cat, jumped on top of her bed and she let out a squeal. When she realized it was just her cat, her shoulders relaxed and she set the covers right again. Reflexively she stuck her arm out from behind the covers and began to gently pet her cat, earning a purr from the content kitty. The purr began to lull the teenager to sleep, and finally with a few more strokes, she fell into a trance.
. . . Dream . . .
Kagome glanced down at her legs, finding them bound with rope, tightly pressed against each other. She wiggled her arms, only to find that her wrists were constrained as well. Hot tears fell against her cheek as she glanced out of the car window, trying to figure out how she was going to get out of the moving vehicle. Suddenly, the car stopped and the driver's door opened. The hooded man who was driving had stepped out. They stopped at a gas station and he went into the market.
Rain splattered against her window. She wiggled viciously, able to free one hand. Quickly she removed the rope from her legs and opened the door, flinging herself out of the car and running in the opposite direction in which the car was parked. She felt a wave of relief wash over her, but she wasn't out of the clear yet. She had to find somebody, anybody, with a phone so she could call the police and have that man taken to jail. A car drove by and she madly raised her arms, trying to get it stop, but it drove on. The driver had a look of disgust on his face. She glanced down at her clothes, seeing why. They were rather skimpy, but it was her school uniform and she was already used to all the looks she got from people.
She stopped to catch her breath when she heard an angry yell and a car driving towards her at top speed. Her eyes widened when she saw the bright headlights of the car that belonged to her captor. Filled with fear and worry, she ran as fast as she could. A car stopped in the next lane. Inside was a young girl, about seventeen or so. She looked nice enough so she ran across the street at top speed, opened the door of the passenger's side and jumped in, cowering in her seat.
"Are you okay?" the young girl asked, driving once more. Kagome glanced at her, shivering. "I saw you running. You looked like you were in trouble."
The scared girl glanced out the window seeing no speeding cars or angry men in hoods coming towards her. "I was. ." she choked back a sob, leaning her head against the window. "I was walking home from school and a man kidnapped me. He told me he was going to do stuff to me and I was too weak to fight back. . He told me to get into the car or he was going to shoot me. He was holding a gun pointed directly at my face and. . I just got in. . I couldn't. . I'm sorry I'm getting your seat wet."
The driver turned to look at the young shivering girl who looked about her age. "Don't worry about that, now. I'm going to drive you to the police station so you can file a report. My name is Sango, by the way. What's your name?"
"Kagome." she looked out the window again, sighing softly. She was safe and out of harm's way. For now.
. . . End Dream . . .
Her alarm clock rang and she instinctively smacked the snooze button. She groggily sat up in her bed, envisioning the capture again in her mind.
"The same dream occurs over and over. ." she shook her head, as if that would help her clear her thoughts. She stood up and walked to the kitchen, smiling at her mom.
Mrs. Higurashi turned to look at her daughter, then turned back to the stove, where she was making eggs. "Ready for today, Kagome?"
The blurry-eyed teenager nodded and sat down at the table, holding her chopsticks in one hand. "What's for breakfast, mama?"
"Eggs and bacon, dear. Call Souta for me, will you?"
Kagome nodded and turned around in her chair. "Souta, get down here! It's breakfast time!"
"Just because you have to be up this early doesn't mean that I have to! What's the deal?" Souta ran downstairs and plopped onto a chair, wolfing down his already made eggs and bacon. Kagome rolled her eyes.
"Pig."
Souta just shrugged and continued eating. Kagome looked at her bacon and eggs which seemed to be smiling at her. She slowly began to eat, then looked up at her mom. "I'm not very hungry."
Mrs. Higurashi nodded, understanding. "Yes, dear. You don't have to eat what you can't. We're going to go in a half an hour so you might want to change, or something." Kagome nodded and stood up and turned around, bumping into her grandfather.
"Sorry, grandpa! I'm gonna go shower really quick and then change. You can have what I didn't eat." Kagome looked back at her breakfast and then half-heartedly walked upstairs. Grandpa shook his head.
"I wonder what that girl's going through."
A/N: So, what do you think? Do you like it so far? Think I should go on? Any questions or comments. . Feel free to ask me! Go easy on the reviews, would ya? :) Sorry this is a short chapter, I don't see how other people do it! .o; I'll try making my chapters longer, if you all liked this one, that is.
