Be sure to re-read Chapter One! I rewrote it again. It's much darker this time around.
Vote for your pairing! Gaara is just a temporary one right now.
' Dreaming Sequence'
'Shukaku Talking'
Italization also represents things I want to put emphasis on.
A howl, painful and slow, resounded throughout Kagome's small adobe. She clutched her head, crying and screaming inhumanely. The veins in her forehead bulged out and her eyes became bloodshot and widened as if they were about to pop out of her head.
It was the same dream again– the silver dog-eared man came back to haunt her dreams. These dreams had supposedly stopped three years ago!
It always started happily, when a seemingly misfit group would be walking down towards a small hut, chattering happily. A small fox like child with brilliant pearly whites, a woman with a huge boomerang with a two tailed cat on her shoulder, a man dressed like a monk, the same silver haired dog-eared man, and her.
The only major difference between the splitting image of her and herself were their eyes. The older Kagome in her dreams had expressive, chocolate colored eyes that shone with mirth and laughter every time she spoke.
They were beautiful and innocent, sparkling with purity and emotions whereas now, Kagome's eyes were an azure color, unreadable and cold, yet more beautiful than the previous colors.
It was like watching a painful memory. It always started with the silver haired man talking.
" Hey, wench, ya got any Ninja Chips left for me?"
The auburn haired fox like child would cry out, " Me too! I want some! Kagome gimme!"
The Kagome in her dreams would smile. With just a tilt of the lips, it could either end the world or it could save the world. That was how powerful Kagome Higurashi's smile was. It reached her eyes and lit them up brighter than colorful fireworks in the night sky.
Of course, now, it was a rarity to see that genuine smile. Her fake smiles never had the same effect anymore because her eyes were always so dull nowadays...
The Kagome in her dreams would open her mouth but then she would be cut off in her response, " You boys are going to-"
" What do we have here?" A dark voice chuckled out.
It was the same man that haunted her dreams every night. That man had rubies for eyes. They were dark red, glittering and shining like precious jewels, waiting for its next meal. They were mesmerizing and captivating- capable of ruining and eliminating mankind.
This man was the type that would toy with another before utterly destroying them.
" Run, Kagome, run!"
She was next to a well, stubbornly waiting for the dog-eared man. Within seconds, a small body flew by her, lifeless and devoid of emotions. It was the body of someone special to her, she just couldn't remember the name of him.
That body had been mangled, and obviously played with. His auburn hair was once shiny and beautiful was now matted and dirtied.
It was this scene that made her heart clenched painfully. It felt like needles raining upon her fragile organ. She let out a painful gasp.
" I'm sorry."
The silver haired man who once had long, luxurious locks and a grinning face now looked broken and mangled. It terrified her that this man looked so... pathetic.
" I love you, Kagome. I always had and always will," He whispered, tucking a lock of hair behind her perfect ear.
Just as he threw her in the well, a tentacle shot through his chest and the lights dimmed in his pained amber eyes. A final sigh left his mouth knowing that his love was safe...
" NO, INUYASHA!"
" No, Inuyasha! Inuyasha!" The girl cried out.
Pain clawed at her heart and her pupils dilated. There it was again, a pang in her encased heart and tears streaming down her face. Crying was weak, dammit! So why couldn't she stop it?
" Make it stop! Make it stop!"
It was like an invisible hand that grasped her throat, hard enough to bruise and constrict her breathing passage. Kagome's breaths came out in wheezes.
" Blood, I need blood... This hurts!"
Her screams had shaken Gaara awake– Not that he was sleeping peacefully. Her howls sounded like... Himself. Since Higurashi was a 'suspicious' character when she first came to Suna, they had forced her to take an apartment directly across from the Kazekage.
Gaara only went into this apartment when he had insomnia, which was, unfortunately, most nights.
He knocked on the door and whispered, " Higurashi-san?"
No answer.
The Kazekage slowly swung the door open and widened at the mess that her apartment was currently in. Vases were freshly smashed, glass littered the floor, and clothes were strewn, a ripped and bloody mess. A breeze blew the curtains of the open window innocently.
Immediately, his eyes widened in realization.
" No... Higurashi-san couldn't have..."
It was obvious, all the signs were there. Deaths revolving around her, the bloodlust gleaming within her pupils, and the false reassurance in her smiles that she was doing okay. This girl was a deranged and bloodthirsty monster...
" Just like you!" Shukaku cackled within his mind, " Miko! Miko! Miko!"
