Chapter 2: The Dream
I stood in a meadow that was swarming with beautiful orchids basking in the morning sun. The water droplets on the leaves appear to be crystals as the suns rays of light flash down onto their soft petals. It must have rained I thought as I started to walk through the flowers of brilliant orange, bright pink, and a scattered collection of apple red. Was I dead? I though to myself as I walked down the hill that was consumed with flowers. As I was strolling through the flowers I noticed I was dressed in a white kimono with gorgeous pink flowers and a dazzling red stripe through the middle of the elegant dress. Once I was at the bottom of the hill I turned to see the flowers once more. I sighed.
I turned back around and drifted in the direction of a village in the distance I thought looked familiar. I slowly wandered towards it still trying to think where I was. Once I was at the entrance of it I looked within and saw there was no one there that I could see. The streets looked abandoned. "Where the hell am I?" I thought out loud. I slowly walked through the paths of the village with caution. I heard a twig snap and quickly turned around. There was nothing there. I looked around then when I turned around Naraku was standing right in front of me.
"Hello Hope." He said calmly. I felt as though his eyes were peering into my very soul. I felt trapped by the stare he gave me.
"Get away from me you filth!" I shouted and to my surprise I was able to escape the impenetrable stare and ran out of the village. I darted for the forest near by. I tripped on a tree root that was jutting out of the ground and turned around to see if he was gone, but he was speeding towards me. I swiftly got up and ran for my life, but I was not fast enough. Naraku rapidly cut in front of me and pinned me to a near by tree. I was helpless.
"You can't get away form me you weak, pathetic human." He said, but as he raised his free hand with a sword in it I screamed.
"Nnnoooooo!" I screamed. I sat up quickly to notice I was back in the hut at the village we were all staying at. "It was just a dream." I sighed in relief. I noticed I was cover in a thin coat of sweat and a bandage at my waist. I heard the door open and turned around to see who it could be. It was Kagome.
"Oh my gosh! Hope!" she cried as she ran over to me and hugged me tightly. I was a little surprised, but I hugged her back.
"Hey Kagome." I wheezed. "How long was I out?"
"About 3 weeks. We were getting worried. Hey there is a spring not to far from here. You could go there to cool off. What do you say?" she asked. I shivered and realized I was cold.
"Sure." I said smiling at her. She smiled back and she walked me to the main room.
"I just want to tell everyone you're alright ok?" she said as she slid the door open. Miroku, Shippo, and Sango smiled when I walked into the room. Kirara meowed with satisfaction, but where was Inuyasha? I locked that thought in the back of my head to think about that later. I smiled back at everyone in return of their warm smiles. We talked for a while about what's been going on around the village while I was asleep. They said a demon has been terrorizing the people in the village. They described the demon as an ugly, foul smelling creature that resembled a tree. It was strange to think of a tree attacking people, but the describing of the creature went on further. It had five red eyes, a mouth full of jagged, sharp teeth and it can stretch its limbs far out to attack the people with its knife-like claws. They also said it had a spider mark on its back. Which symbolized that thing was from Naraku's flesh. We were talking we heard a loud roar a little while away. Then there was a loud crash and the sound of screaming villagers.
Hi people! Sorry that this one isn't that long. Please review!!! It'll make me happy ha-ha! :D
