Dream
Black rain fell onto a washed out world. Kagome noticed that the wet of the rain never reached her as each drop slid down her body leaving nothing behind. She cupped her hands together in an attempt to capture the strange rain. It became a dark black ink like pool. She then opened her fingers and it all slipped out between them leaving nothing
It was then that she heard singing, it was strange and mysterious sound. Something like a harsh and playful chant sang by a choir of children. She fallowed the sound. Each step making the sound clearer.
As she got closer she heard a clicking noise. It resembled the sound of a percussion instrument. Wood on wood. The music all together, Kagome decided, sounded very rural and ritualistic. There was something ominous about it, but she couldn't keep herself away. Each step she took moved on its on bringing her closer and closer. She looked and saw that the rain was now moving backward.
Kagome then ran. She couldn't figure out why she was running but she went faster and faster as the world blurred around her. A distinct bell like sound joined her. It rang in time with her heartbeat. Then, suddenly there was silence.
She halted and everything became clear again. She was in the middle of a forest clearing and all around her were foxes. Their bodies became blob like as they morphed into masked men. Each mask had a wide and playful smile. The clicking started up again as the circled her.
Kagome held her hands to her heart in an effort to calm it. "S-stay away." She told them in an uneven tone.
They all laughed at her response. The laugh was very childlike. Then they took a step forward in unison; their heads tilting back and forth in time with the clicking sound.
"I mean it." She said sternly, though her voice faltered making it seem a little weak.
They laughed again and took another step and then another. And then, suddenly the creatures lunged.
They last thing Kagome saw was a mask in the darkness as she screamed.
After this she woke up alone in her room. There were many leaves on her floor and on her bed. They blanketed the carpet so thickly that she couldn't see through all the green. She had no idea how they got there. Her brain felt fuzzy and she had no recollection of last night.
But even so, she could feel it. The leftover demonic energy in her room.
Sorry for the late update. Been distracted. Also sorry that a lot of nothing is going on lel. Was listening to 'Sullimans Spirits Chanting' from Howls Moving Castle when I wrote this. I guess its obvious where a lot of the inspiration for this story is going to come from lol.
