Chapter Two

Nightmares


Previously: Intervention

"Her nightmares, I hope she will come to understand that they can easily become reality" He held his lover as they began to fade into time itself hidden from the eyes of mortals and ignored by those who live among them "I wish her luck for she will surely need it"

"A second and final change to love without the limitations of time… Miko Kagome show us that you can change your fate even if its written in stone" a voice filled with hope could be heard as a child cried in the harms of her mother unaware of what fate had in store for her.


Dreams had always been a part of her life be it frightening or pleasant they have always seem to have a hidden meaning one she wished she could finally figure out; perhaps then she would finally have a moment of peace. A moment to be a normal teenager (scratch that) to be a normal human being "Kagome, dear your going to be late" she didn't feel like opening her eyes to notices her mother worried face for her voice had said it all "you had a bad dream again?" it wasn't a family secret that Kagome Higurashi dreamed of demons; she lived at a shrine for crying out loud it should be normal, right? Wrong who in their right mind would wish to dream of evil creatures chasing you in the dark of night declaring that they wanted you to eat you for dinner? (If you said yes I urge you to see a doctor) No, no one would, it's not to say that she believed in demons, even thou she did live in a shrine for crying out loud but times had changed; in modern Tokyo Japan there are no such thing as demons (period) end of topic.

"No, I'm just tired that's all" of course she lied, why burned her poor mother with the same old nightmare again; she was turning fifteen today and that made her a little to old to be running to mommy "I'll be down in a minute" she sat up on her twin sizes bed covered by her pink comforter debating if she should really get ready at all; sighing seeing that she did need to go to school for they had a math test "Who needs to worry about demons when there's high school teachers to torment you during the day" sighing once more in defeat she stood up and began her day.

Moments later washed, dressed and ready for school she walked down the stairs to the warm kitchen where her family would have already started on their own breakfast "Good morning" she called out she smiled and waved to her little brother Souta as he got ready for school and her grandfather who ran the shrine; useless job in the eyes of the teenager.

"Ah Kagome, my adorable granddaughter I was just telling your brother the legend of this pickles..." she couldn't help but roll her eyes at her grandfathers' delight in anything hinting a legend.

"The ones you got from Mr. Ujiko for twenty percent off?" which did not include those pickles "No time for breakfast, I'm already late" she grabbed a piece of toast and kissed her mother's cheek as she ran out to be greeted by the morning sun.

"Ah, come on Buyo come out boy" she froze as she felt something shiver down her spine not noticing her little brother calling her "Sis, Sis come on Sis" He reached for her hand "Your freezing" startled out of her dazed she tried to smile but failed "Didn't you hear me say that Buyo was in the mini shrine"

"In the well house" she asked hoping that she was mistaken, for some unknown reason she knew that she should not step inside: ever "How about we get gramps to get him huh?" but of course her brother thought of something very different 'Ignore me why don't you' (little brothers)

"Buuyo!" she watched as her little brother called out for their cat "Come out boy, Buyo?" she stayed by the entrance her gut feeling telling her not to step inside and she be damned if she went against it "come on sis, he's somewhere down there…"

"So, get him out" she was annoyed, she should have just walked away and had head off to school like she was suppose to "Look I'm sure Buyo will get out by himself…" she had always been a coward "were going to be really late if we don't leave now" she sighed as she watched her brother move closer to the entrance

"Fine…" She was so close "Did you hear that?" and yet so far "it came from inside the well… you don't think Buyo is inside to you" she sighed seeing that he wasn't going to leave and damn her sisterly attitude that at this point decided to show its ugly face which wasn't going to leave her alone

"What one does for family" sure she was still scared but she loved her cat and dare she say it; she loved her brother. She wasn't going to just leave him there alone so she pushed her fears aside not that she succeed but entered against her better judgment

"Doesn't this place… give you the creeps" he had the nerve to ask her

"What you're scared now?" the hairs in the back of her neck were now standing on end as she grow closer to the closed well "Aren't you a boy?" okay even she knew that that was a little in the harsh side but she was terrified 'breath Kagome its all in your head' she did as she tried to control the panic attack that was surely to accrue 'there are no such thing as demons… there isn't a demon hiding in the well… it's just a well… just an empty, dried up… well'

"There's something in there" now that she had her nerves under control she didn't need her baby brother getting them riled up again so she glared at him

"Like say our cat… jeez just when I'm about too AHHHHHH!" she jumped startled by something soft touching her leg "Ah, Buyo" she sighed in relief

"Meow"

"Don't yell like that you scared me!" rolling her eyes she picked up her over weight spotted cat and began to walk away turning her back towards the well

"Meow"

'See there is nothing to worry about' she told herself until that is something very cold grabbed her from behind, she screamed as she was being pulled down the well 'don't look… its nothing…' but she never really was a good listener so she slightly turned her head to notice she was being held by a demon with six harms

"Kagome" she could hear her brother scream her name as she was free falling with the hideous demon as it decided to licked her cheek

"Such joy… such power…"

'This can't be happening' of course she was panicking her nightmares were coming to life "Let go… you freak" she shouted pushing her hands towards the hideous body that was rejuvenating before her very eyes, she screamed as a pink flash appeared from her hands causing the demon to release her

"I will not lose… it now… the jewel of four souls"

"The jewel of four souls… no" she whispered as she was surrounded by a blinding blue light "This can't be happening" tears began to form and fall down her face as her hands now clutched the dirt beneath her as her nightmare's began to resurface

"Kagome… run" a voice of a girl shouted down as she rode the biggest cat she had ever seen above in the skies aiming her weapon down towards their current enemy "Kagome behind you"

"Move, Kagome" everyone seemed to know her name while she stood there frozen not knowing theirs "You trying to get yourself killed… stay out of the way"

"Don't worry Kagome I'll protect you" a smaller demon said as he placed himself above her shoulder casting a greenish fire towards the demons that came towards them

"Lady Kagome here's your bow and arrows" a man with a lecherous smile said as he handed her what was suppose to be her weapon.

"Miko aim it true" she turned to come face to face with eyes of golden honey "Now, Miko" he ordered as he made his way towards the middle fading away as did the others leaving her alone and defenseless

"Kagome!"

"Miko"

"Kagome"

"Lady Kagome!"

"Kagome" they knew her name while she only had their faces.

She was soon pulled back to reality for she had a burning sensation on the left side of her hip "The jewel of four souls" she whispered as tears ran down her stained face

Her dreams…

"These dreams… they have to mean something" covering her face she fully broke down "faces… so many faces"

Her dreams were once more coming to life…

"These faces are calling for help…" she tried to control her tears for the last time she had truly cried had been she was just a child

"Kagome is just a gifted child" she remembered her father saying to her mother when she had been six; when she had accidentally over heard her parents conversation regarding another of her episode. She had found herself unable to move as she heard her parent voices echo in the small nursery

"I don't know love… her dreams recently are starting to scare… even me, her mother" she had recently told her mother that she had dreamt of her father's death "I'm frightened"

"There's nothing to worry about… she'll grow out of it…" she was surprised as tears began to fall "What do you expect living in a shrine and hearing my father's stories"

"I hope you're right, dear" but things wouldn't be okay, her father had died that very summer just like in her dream.

"I'm sorry mama… I'm sorry" her mother had held her without question "I'm sorry" it was the last time she had cried for after that incident she learned that some things weren't meant to be voiced out loud.

She didn't know how long she had been sitting there lost in her own memories but by the heat of the earth beneath her it most of been a few hours "This has happened before" her voice showed no fear

Her dreams were turning into reality…

The burning sensation increased "The jewel of four souls" she was surprisingly calm for she knew what was to come and yet she was still scared for she might not be strong enough.

They knew her name while she only had their faces; faces torment by death.

"Am I strong enough" doubt over powered her will to move "Can I save them… can I save myself" her question would remain unanswered; that is until she fully looked into her heart would she be able to find them.

To be continue!
