Chapter Eleven: Nightmares
--
"I'm not leaving!" yelled Kagome, from her spot on the edge a cliff, holding a bundle tightly to her.
Inuyasha growled, "Kagome! Stop being so damn stubborn!"
"Inuyasha!" sobbed out Kagome. "I don't want to lose you! I can't live without you!"
Inuyasha walked up to her, pulled her to her feet, and pulled her into his chest, not to rough though. He looked down at her,
"You're not going to lose me."
"How can you say that." sniffed Kagome, searching his slightly red eyes.
He pushed her wet bangs from her face, "I'm trying to protect you Kagome. Please listen to me."
Inuyasha lowered his head to hers and kissed her gently on the lips. Kagome whimpered as she kissed him back. After a while, he pulled away, and lowered to the buddle in her arms. He kissed the forehead of their pup. Kagome swallowed a sob that wanted to escape her.
He looked into her eyes,
"If I don't make it…live a happy life Kagome. I love you."
"Inuyasha!" sobbed out Kagome when he took off running.
Kagome fell to her knees and sobbed as pain shot threw her body. It was beginning to rain and she needed to get into shelter. She stood and walked over to the edge of the cliff. Kagome jumped from rock to rock until she reached the bottom. She took one more look at the top of the cliff before taking off into the forest.
Tree branches sliced her cheek as she ran. She hugged her pup to her chest, tears mixed with the blood that rolled down her cheek. There was a loud chuckling sound that cut threw the forests darkness like a knife.
Soon as she blinked, she ran right into Naraku. Kagome fell back and screamed when he pulled out his sword. She held her pup to her chest and began to sob.
"NO!" screamed Kagome, shooting up from her traumatizing dream.
Inuyasha was holding her, "Kagome, wake up."
She turned her head into his bare chest and cried. Inuyasha hugged her tightly to him. In a protecting way. Soon she calmed down. He asked,
"Are you alright?"
"Please tell me it was just a dream…it'll never happen." pleaded Kagome, looking up into his concerned amber eyes.
He wiped her tears away, "Kagome what's wrong?"
"I had a horrible dream."
Inuyasha asked, "What happened?"
"It began with me and you on this cliff. I guess you were telling me to run away." explained Kagome. "We started arguing the-
He kissed her to stop her from talking, "It was just a dream, Kagome, it'll never happen."
"But Inuyasha-
He put his index finger over her lips, "Shh…I promise it'll never happen."
"How can you-
Inuyasha kissed her twice and she sighed. Kagome looked up at him,
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah." he smirked. "Go back to sleep."
Kagome nodded and laid down. She had her back to him. Kagome relaxed when he wrapped his arms around her, and buried his head into the nape of her neck. He kissed her mark and she relaxed so much she was dozing off again.
She didn't have that dream again…well not until the next night of course. Inuyasha wasn't there to comfort her though. He was training, and she was stuck in her room. Resting. Kagome swore this dream was going to literally drive insane.
Eight Months Later
"How many wench?"
She glared, "Thousands, and would you call me by my name? It's Ella, remember? Bastard?"
He ignored her as Kagura walked in. She looked at Ella then Naraku,
"Was I interrupting something?"
Naraku stood. Ella skipped over to Naraku,
"Remember our change in plans? Only a couple more weeks."
"Kagura, prepare the demons, this will indeed be entertaining." smirked Naraku.
Kagura looked at him bored, tapping her fan to her chin,
"We still have three weeks Naraku."
"Kagura," started Naraku, smiling sinisterly, "are you going to not do what I said."
Kagura looked at Ella, "No."
"Then do as I say."
Kagura turned and left the room, giving Ella a last suspicious look. Ella looked at her retreating place, shrugged, then smiled,
"So when are you going to get my treat."
"The day of the war." he answered, leaving the room.
Ella followed, "She'd had them by then. The plan was to kidn-
"I know what the plan was," interrupted Naraku, "I never said I was going to follow it."
She glared, "What are you going to do then! When she has that pup, her mate is not going to leave her side."
Kanna was at the entrance of the castle. The mirror showing a scene. Ella stopped in front of her and watched. She blinked in utter shock,
"Is this accurate."
"This is the future." answered Kanna, looking at her with cold eyes.
Ella shivered from her gaze, "Eh…thanks. I see what you meant now Naraku."
When she looked around he was nowhere to be seen. Ella glared. Kanna, whom had grown over time, walked up to Ella. She was the same height as Ella. She spoke in a calm, dead-cold voice,
"I know what you're doing."
"What are you talking about?" glared Ella, stepping back from her.
Kanna's eyes flickered, "You're falling in love with Naraku."
Ella paled but glared at Kanna,
"I don't know what you're talking about! Get out of my way!"
Kanna's mirror flashed, showing a past scene. Ella blushed when she saw herself and Naraku. Kissing. Ella shook her head,
"You're mirror is obviously broken. I'd never-
"Do not lie to me." interrupted Kanna, stepping closer to her. "If I were you, I'd run while I still had the chance. He's just using you. After his work is succeeded, he'll kill you, and Kagome's pup." informed Kanna. "I never predict wrong."
Ella laughed and pushed Kanna back roughly, "You're clearly to loyal to Naraku. You're insane, maybe even in love. Isn't he like your father or brother? That's sick if you tell me."
Kanna grabbed Ella around the neck and smashed her into the wall behind her. She leaned closer to her and spoke in a low voice, that sounded almost like a growl,
"Don't intimidate me. He's done it more times then you can count. I'm only trying to spare you, but if you want to be foolish. I won't bother."
Kanna finally let go and Ella slid down to the floor, panting and rubbing her bruised neck. A feminine voice came from outside,
"Kanna!"
"I won't listen to you." struggled Ella, her voice hoarse.
Kanna looked at her impassively, "You've been warned."
She disappeared into the darkness that was outside. Ella pulled herself up and looked down the hall. She scoffed and walked out into the horrible weather.
At The Castle
"Is that the best you can little brother?" asked Sesshomaru as he dodged Inuyasha's fist.
Inuyasha growled, "Shut up!"
Sesshomaru dodged all his direct attacks. When he dodged Inuyasha's fist the last time, he ducked then grabbed his wrist with both his hand. He simply stood and flung him away. Inuyasha fell over, breathing heavily.
InuTaisho ran his hand over his face in frustration. Izayoi had her hands over her eyes. She finally peeked threw them and asked,
"Is he alive?"
"Barely." answered Sesshomaru, flipping his bangs out his face, not a scar on him.
Sayuri's voice came, "Any progress?"
"Does it look like any progress?" asked Sesshomaru, crossing his arms, and looking at his half brother with disgust.
Inuyasha struggled to stand, "Would'cha just shut up."
"You talk big, Inuyasha, but in action you're worthless." insulted Sesshomaru.
Inuyasha growled, "Shut up!"
"Make me." pressured Sesshomaru, uncrossing his arms and letting them fall to his side. "It won't be my fault when your half breed pup is killed inside your mate."
Inuyasha growled, his eyes going red. He charged toward Sesshomaru, demon speed. Sesshomaru dodged his fist, but barely missed his leg that came swinging out of nowhere. Izayoi closed her eyes again.
Sesshomaru was smirking. That was a bad sign. InuTaisho sighed heavily,
"That's enough you two."
Sesshomaru grabbed Inuyasha around the neck and slammed him into the ground. He smirked down at his brother. He stood and walked inside the castle. Inuyasha glared at the sky, grumbling. Haku grinned widely,
"With his demon side, he should be able to fight ten times faster."
"Yeah." agreed InuTaisho.
Inuyasha pushed himself up and stomped into the castle. When get got upstairs, he laid beside the sleeping Kagome, and buried his face in her shoulder. Kagome stirred and mumbled,
"Inuyasha?"
He didn't answer, and she opened her eyes. Kagome rubbed his ears. Inuyasha sighed in pleasure. Kagome laughed,
"Jeez Inuyasha…you stink."
"So." he grumbled, whom couldn't help but smirk when she laughed.
Kagome rolled her eyes, "So…you need to get away from me and clean yourself up."
"Kagome." complained Inuyasha.
She sat up, her hair falling over her shoulders, "How was-
"Don't ask." he cut her off, standing up and heading for the bathroom.
She asked, "Sesshomaru rough on you again?"
"Ugh!" groaned Inuyasha, closing the door.
Kagome laughed and placed her hand on her plump stomach. She wiped sweat from her head, good thing Inuyasha didn't notice. That dream just kept repeating, never finishing. After a while, Inuyasha came back out. Smelling fresh.
He plopped beside her. Kagome laid her head on chest. He kissed her head and asked,
"How are you feeling?"
"Fine." she lied.
Kagome looked up at him and smiled to reassure him. He frowned,
"You're lying."
"No I'm not." mumbled Kagome, looking down at her hand.
Inuyasha asked, "What's wrong Kagome?"
"I," started Kagome, trying to think of something, "I'm just worried about the war and everything."
He rolled his eyes, "I already told you Kagome…it's going to be a piece of cake."
"Right." nodded Kagome.
Inuyasha grabbed her chin gently and made her look up. He looked into her eyes,
"I promise nothing will happen to you or the pup."
"I know." smiled Kagome, wishing he'd stop making promises.
He leaned closer and kissed her.
Kanna sat before Naraku, the mirror showing him the present scene. Naraku laughed,
"He's gotten to soft. This battle indeed 'will' be entertaining."
"Look at her stomach!" mused Ella, sitting on the leg of Naraku's chair. "It's HUGE!"
Naraku smirked, "What waste it'll be when the pup is dead."
"Naraku." glared Ella.
He smiled innocently, still looking at the mirror, "There's no doubt Lord Sesshomaru will be there. His weakness is his daughter…Rin, was it?"
"Yep." nodded Ella, beating Kanna to the punch of answering.
Kanna looked at Ella then into Naraku's eyes. He smirked,
"If we kill the girl, he'll be to weak to fight."
"What about their father?" asked Ella, sliding off the leg to sit in Naraku's lap, smiling over at Kanna.
Naraku laughed, "I have plans for them. The demons do need a treat."
"You have all this planned don't you?" asked Ella, putting her hand on his cheek.
Something strange flashed in his eyes and his smirk-if possible-widened. Kanna stood,
"I'll tend to the demons."
Naraku didn't acknowledge her. Kanna clenched onto the mirror so hard, as she went down the hall, the edges cracked. Kagura leaned against the wall,
"What are you planning Kanna?"
"Follow me." replied Kanna, walking out the door. "We shall be free soon enough."
Kagura looked at Kanna with confused eyes, but took out a feather and threw it into the air. Kanna and herself heading to a far off village.
