Chapter 3:Another Dream of Inuyasha's Brother.
Within an hour, Kagome and Kira went back to their time, packed, and came back to the feudal era. The rest of the group then packed up and headed out into the country.
Kira had a blue backpack that was simalar to Kagome's except it wasn't as heavy. She only packed what was in her duffle bag and the sleeping bag she had been given. She also had her coat in it in case it got cold. Oddly enough it looked like a haorie coat but it was white with blue pattens on the sleeves and left shoulder. Kira had this coat made exspecailly for her by her mother when she was working with a ancient Japan theme a few years back.
She had also grabbed her bandana that she had left in Kagome's bathroom to cover her birthmark.
"Why do you hide that mark on your forhead Kira?" Shippo asked as he rode in the basket on Kagome's bike.
"Because i'm rather embarressed by it. Normally birthmarks fade as you age but this mark doesn't want to do that for some reason. I tryed covering it with make up but somehow it managed to be seen anyway. Wearing this bandana is the best thing i could find to cover it." She said as she tugged at the cloth covering her head.
Shippo just shrugged and looked ahead of them. Kira just sighed and looked at the scenary as they walked by it. She had to admit, she was really starting to like it here. It was so calm and peaceful in the feudal era. She actually felt relaxed here then she did at home.
Night came fast and they soon made camp by a river, which made Kira very happy.
"I've never been camping before. Dad was always too business for such a thing and mom hates been out in the middle of no where." She said as she unrolled her sleeping bag next to the fire that Sango had started.
"I've been out here for about a year now. It's really nice out here when no one is trying to kill you or something." Kagome said as she got out a few cups of ramen and a kettle.
"Geez Kags. Did you pack the house into you're bag? You've got everything in there except the kitchen sink!" Kira giggled as she watched her friend dig around in her large yellow bag.
"I just packed everything I needed for a week long time." She said as stunk her tongue out at her friend.
"You're staying for a week this time?" Miroku asked as he and Inuyasha came into the fire light with an armload of more wood. Inuyashe had a handful of fish in his clawed hands for them to eat.
"Yeah. I've got about three weeks of school left and then winter break. When that starts, i'll have about a month and a half worth of time off to travel with you guys and find more shards." She said as she filled the kettle with water from a water bottle and placed by the fire so it could warm up.
((A.N. I didn't noticed this little error until a few days later. I recalled sighing that it was october in chapter 1 and now i'm talking about summer? anyway. I changed it to Kags having a WINTER break. Just thought i'd clear that up. Sorry for interupting the story.))
"Awesome!" Shippo said as he started preparing the fish Inuyasha caught by running thin stick in the fish and then stuck the sticks in the earth so they could be cooked by the fire.
I'd like to stay here too. It's so peaceful here. I doubt my parents even miss me right about now. Kira thought as she looked up at the half moon in the barely lit sky. The stars were just starting to appear as it started to get darker.
"So Kira. Kagome told us you have predictions? Is that true?" Miroku asked as he sat down beside Sango, his staff laying on the ground behind him.
Kira nodded. "Yeah but only when I'm asleep. Every time i have one it comes true in about a weeks' time." Which means i should be meeting that man with the cresent moon mark on his forehead soon.
"Are you sure it's always in a week?" Sango asked as she stroked Kilala's fur as she kitten sat in her lap.
"Yep. One time i had this premonition that i would be meeting an old friend. This face was blurred in my dream but i could tell it was a female. And five days later, i met Kagome at the mall while i was shopping for the latest shoes." She said as she shivered a bit from the cold. She then dove in her bag and pulled out her coat. She smiled as she pulled it on and stopped shivering.
Inuyasha looked at the coat for a few minutes then looked away.
"Wow. That's amazing!" Shippo said as he turned the fish over to cook the other side. "Have you had any predictions lately?"
"Well...i did have this one last night. But i can't tell if it's a prediction or not yet. I can sometimes tell between a dream and a premonition but this one...i just wasn't sure." Kira said as she stared at the fire.
"What do you mean?" Inuyasha asked as he poked at the fish. The smell was starting to make him hungry.
"Well. For one thing, it's a man. He had long silver hair like mine and these serious looking golden eyes. He also wearing chest armor that's held in place with a yellow and blue sash. And there's this odd fluffy thing going over his right shoulder and trailing behind him. But what is most disturbing to me is that he has a purple cresent moon mark on his forehead." She said as she placed her hand on her forhead where her own moon mark was.
The camp was silent as they stared at her in disbelief. Kira just looked at them all confused. "What? You know the guy i'm talking about."
"That's his/my brother." Everyone said at once. The humans pointed to Inuyasha while the hanyou just sat there growling.
"Really? That man in my dreams is your brother?" Kira was dumbfounded. Not once in all her life had she heard that one of her premonitions was related to someone.
Inuyasha nodded. "Unfortunately he is. The ungrateful basturd." He mumbled the last part under his breath but everyone still heard it.
Kira sighed as she looked into the fire. "I wonder why i'm having premontions of him?"
"Did anything happen when you had the prediction of Sesshomaru?" Kagome asked as she as removed the kettle from the fire and started pouring it into the ramen cups she had in front of her. Shippo soon removed the fish from the fire as well and handed Kira two of the fish.
"Not really. All that happened was that my view of Sesshomaru circled around him and then I kind of zoomed up to his forehead. Not much else happened." She said as she took a ramen cup Kagome handed her and started eating. "Usually i get more information on the second night so i might be lucky tonight."
Everyone nodded, except Inuyasha, who just huffed as he ate his ramen. "I could care less about what happens to Sesshomaru." He mumbled as he continued to eat.
After supper, Kira heard Sango's and Miroku's life stories and then they all went to sleep for the night. Inuyasha jumped into a near by tree while Kira and Kagome snuggled into their sleeping bags. Shippo curled up with Kagome as she got comfortable. Kilala transformed into her larger form so Sango could sleep aganist her. Miruko just sat by the fire before nodding off to sleep.
It was dawn the next day when Kira woke up first. She groaned as the sun peeked through the leaves, causing her to wake up. Curling up more in the sleeping bag, she recalled the dream she had last night.
There he was again, Lord Sesshomaru, standing proud and tall just like she saw him last night. The surroundings became more clear to her and she noticed that he was standing in a field, looking up at something in the dark sky. She then saw him looking in her direction. His face was so serious it sent shivers down her spine. It held no emotion at all as he looked at her.
She soon noticed that he had more face markings. There were two magenta stripes on each cheek and pink eye shadow on his eye lids.
For some reason, she was getting intoxicicated by his shear brillance.
Her veiw then shifted and she saw that he was actually looking at an odd looking toad man.
"What have you found Jaken?" He asked in a serious but smooth voice that sent the shivers off again.
"My lord. She does indeed look like you. She even has your powers and a cresent moon mark on her forehead. But she is as oddly dressed as the priestess that travels with the disspicable half brother of your's." Said the toad as he bowed to Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru looked deep in thought and then started walking, not saying a thing. Jaken didn't noticed this until after Sesshomaru had passed him. He then looked up and paniced when he saw he was being left behind.
"LORD SESSHOMARU! Wait for me!"
It was there that the dream ended. She didn't understand what it meant at all. Was Sesshomaru planing something? Was she going to eventually look like him? And were her powers going to get stronger during the week she spent in the feudal era?
So many questions were flying around in her head and she did know how to answer them. But on thing was for sure. This event was going to happen soon between Sesshomaru and that toad man alone. None of them were going to be present for this event to happen.
She graoned as she sat up in her sleeping bag, rubbing the sleep from her eyes. I wonder what he has planed for me after this event happens? She thought as she stared at the died fire pit, deep in thought. She sighed as she looked up at the morning sky.
Inuyasha was awake and was watching Kira silently. He then noticed that he birthmark was slowly forming into the same mark his brother had. It must have been painless for her because she didn't notice the change at all. He also noticed that she was still wearing the haorie coat from last night. He didn't want to mention it last night but it also looked like the same one Sesshomaru had except that where it was suppose to be red it was actually a soft blue color. The silver hair and white and blue coat seemed to bring out her sapphire eyes.
He stayed silent until he noticed that the others were starting to wake up. He then jump out of his tree and decided to go fishing for breakfast.
