Dream Or Reality

Chapter oneI sat on my bed reading an old novel about a hidden romance between two young lovers whose parents' hated each other. For some reason this made me think about Rin and her former boyfriend Kye. Kye's parents disliked my parents and it was just the same for my parents. Kye's parents owned Japana, which had every thing you could think about on Japan. While my parents owned Mega Japanese, it had more then Japana when it came to books and materials from Japan. When Kye came to Mega Japanese Rin was reading something about Japan. Rin and Kye began going-out a day after.
After about three weeks Kye told Rin he had to move. Rin was heartbroken but only for a while. Sesshoumaru supposedly liked Rin and was quite happy when Kye moved and he got Rin.
Inuyasha was different though; he didn't really try to make friends. He was silent and always seemed cold and dark. There were times I wanted to go over and talk to him, but I could hardly keep a straight face though, with him confusing me with Ayame.
Finally I had had enough, there was a big party going on for Mega Japanese. We just hit the worlds' best Japanese store in the city of Shinwa. I decided it was high time I went to the feudal era, for I was quite homesick. I headed to the well we built in a local shrine. One day my sister pushed me in and I came out in the most perfect place in the world. Though nobody but Rin, my mom, and probably Inuyasha knew about the hidden secret.
My hair is white with red battling it, so it like a fiery white, my mom said I got it from my father, my real father. Though I still have no clue where to find him, and mom can't remember the last time she saw him. All she remembered about him was he was an okami demon (wolf demon). I guess that is where some of Inuyasha's coldness hung from, because Koga, my long time admirer, was also an okami demon.
In the dark of night I decided to go to my home, the feudal era. Packing a little of cloths and my black jacket, I slipped out of the house and headed to the shrine. All though I caught a scent, and I heard what sounded like a russel. I passed it off as me hearing things.
Jumping down the well, I suddenly felt sick, something had gone terrible wrong in the feudal era. When the dizziness passed I hauled myself out of the well. I sat on the edge of the well, just looking out into the clearing. It was dark, extremely dark.
I heard little Shippo yelling Naomi. He jumped into sight and he ran towards me. I smiled when I saw him, and I opened my arms to catch him.
"Hi Shippo", I said happily.
"Hi," he chirped back "you'll never believe what's going on."
"Really?" I asked.
"Yeah," he replied, "Inuyasha's back!"
"He's back?" I asked confused, 'Why is he doing this? Is he trying to tell my something?' "Is anyone expecting me?"
"Nope", was all he said.
"Good, I'm going to the lake." I told him. "If anyone asks for me cover for my okay.
He nodded and ran back to Keade's hut. I sighed 'maybe he came back for Kikyo. Get a grip!' I mentally yelled to myself.
I sat down by the edge of the lake. It was dark and cloudy, but it felt like it was supposed to be sunny. I heard someone coming up behind me.
"Inuyasha?" I asked
"Hmm..." was his only reply.
"Inuyasha, what's wrong?" I asked him.
"Nothing, nothing at all" he answered.
"Something's bothering you." I said.
"Naomi, when we first met, did it feel as if we had met before?" he asked me.
"Yes, it felt like a dream." I answered him.
Inuyasha turned and looked at me, "let's go swimming."
Swimming sounded wonderful. I gazed at the lake, and ran towards it. I could hear Inuyasha laughing in the background, and then I heard a splash. I dove under and swam towards the log in the middle of the lake. I suddenly felt hands wrap themselves around my waist, and gently lift me out of the water. I turned and looked into Inuyasha's amber eyes, I felt myself sink. He leaned in closer to me and gently kissed me...
"Naomi?" I heard someone yell. "Naomi!"
I felt drossy, like someone had just shot me with a sleep dart.
"Inu..." I groaned.
My throat was dry and scratchy. I wondered if anyone could hear me. I smelt smoke and it was burning my nose. I tried to yell, but it came out choppy. I prayed someone heard me.
"Naomi!" I heard someone yell. A familiar scent was every. Hopefully whoever was looking for me would find me through the fog of smoke.
"I found her!" someone yelled.
I felt myself being lifted up.
They whispered, "Hang on Naomi, please hang on"
I moved my head closer to their neck, just to get out of breathing smoke.
"Naomi? Naomi?" I heard someone saying, I also felt someone shaking me. "Come on Naomi!"
"What?" I asked almost in a whisper.
"You need to drink, that throat of yours is probably sore."
I opened my eyes and almost shrieked when I saw Inuyasha sitting next to me with a cup of water in his hands. I concealed my surprise though and took the cup of water.
"All though the old hag checked you over, are you okay?" Inuyasha asked seriously.
"I'm fine", I answered, taking a sip of the water.
"Why were you at the lake, didn't you come to the village first?"
"No I didn't come to the village, I went to the lake after talking to Shippo." I told him. "What started the fire?"
"A dragon named Akurei." Answered Inuyasha. "That's why I was worried, Akurei is a dragon-demon, we haven't figured out if he is a loner or not yet."
"So that's why your back." I said trying to get up off the bed, but Inuyasha had his hands on my shoulders and held me down.
"You ain't going anywhere!"
"Inuyasha let go!"
"No! Naomi I promised myself I would protect you." He shouted at me.
I looked up into his eyes, "I thought you loved Kikyo!" I snapped.
He suddenly tensed up, and his eyes grew dark. "Former love!" he growled.
"Don't you dare growl at me, I wasn't the one who changed thing between us." I growled back.
"You are right." He said letting me go and walking out of the hut.
'What the heck was that all about?' I sat wondering what his problem was...
I sat on the top of a hill over looking a small valley. It was quiet and beautiful; the sun was shinning in the clear blue sky, birds were chirping, the foxes were playing, and there was the sound of Shippo's laughter. I sighed and laid down on the sweet smelling grass. Then I caught Inuyasha's scent.
"Naomi?" he asked.
"Hmm" I answered.
"Do you love..." he stopped.
"Inuyasha?" I asked.
"Hmm" he answered.
"Do you love Kikyo?"
"I used too."
"Used too?" I asked glancing at him.
"Yes."
"Then who?"
He looked at me with that you-know-who look, but I shot back "who". He laid down next to me, and it took all my might not to lay my head on his shoulder and cuddle closer to him...
I had a weary feeling something wasn't right. I jolted up to see if I was on the hill, but I wasn't, I was in the hut. 'Damn. I really need to figure out what are dreams, and what is reality. I need something to eat too.' I got up and opened the hut door. I went to walk out, and Inuyasha appeared in front of me.
"Going some where?" he asked.
"Yeah, hunting. I'm starved." I said shoving past him. I caught the scent of a rabbit no further then about thirty yards from the edge of the village.
"Naomi! Get back here!" Inuyasha yelled.
"Be back later!" I yelled and took off following the scent of the rabbit, but as I got a short distance out of the village, I picked up an unfamiliar scent. I really didn't want to follow it because I was really hungry, but I just had to see what it was.
"Naomi" Inuyasha whispered, covering my mouth. I nipped his hand.
"Do you smell that?" I asked.
"Yeah" he answered nipping my neck, I wrote it off as pay back.
"Come on" I said heading off to find the owner of the strange scent.
We ran through the woods and then crossed a meadow. Then we saw it. Akurei, in other words a HUGE dragon. I glanced at my side, no sword, I turned and glared at Inuyasha. He pointed to the Tetsusaiga. I shook my head. I had my small dagger and my claws. How I wished I had my sword, the sword my father had passed down to me, but Inuyasha had taken it off me.
I walked out into the clearing and whistled. Akurei stopped, and I caught sight of a rider. So the dragon was a pet...
LoneWolf04: well, what do you think so far? I know it may be a bit confusing, but remember, some parts are dreams, and the main character is having trouble telling dream or reality apart. I hope that helps clear some things up, but please don't criticize me, I didn't write the story, I only typed it. New chapter coming soon okay.
