Dreams and Deceit
Chapter 2
"Good morning Kagome. How do you feel?" As the daimyo walked in her bedroom and sat in the chair next to her. "My sister, Kagura said the swelling went down in your foot. I can take you outside for some fresh air later, if you like."
"Good morning. Maybe later." looking at her hands avoiding eye contact.
"Does your head still hurt?" Pouring some tea and handing her the cup "drink this, it should help with the pain." as he watched her drink it.
"Anytime I try to remember, my head hurts badly...can you tell me about myself and... how we met?" as she spoke nervously.
"Our fathers were friends. We were betrothed to each other. You were an only child since your mother died after she gave birth to you. When your father died not too long ago, you came here to live and then we recently got married." he spoke as genuinely as he could. Don't be afraid to ask me anything."
"How old am I, what do I like to do….do we have children?" her face feeling flushed.
Laughing softly "you are 18 years old, you like to read and be outdoors in the garden...we don't have any children yet...we haven't consummated our marriage." looking at her. "Actually I didn't want to tell you this but you were kidnapped on the day of our wedding. A dog demon broke in and took you away. He thought you were his dead lover, but I injured him badly and brought you back here."
She looked over at the man who claims that he is her husband. He has long wavy jet black hair pulled half up, chocolate brown eyes with specs of red, fair skin and muscular built. Quite handsome especially with those dimples when he smiled. His scent of mountain air and cedar was pleasing to her.
Handing back the empty cup "thank you. I'll like to rest now…if you don't mind."
Taking the cup from her and standing up, he noticed she was looking at him so he placed a kiss on her forehead and left her with a blushed face.
Kagome drifted into a deep sleep. She dreamt of being in a garden of roses wearing a white wedding kimono then she was running away from a huge dog demon. Her kimono was torn and bloody. She screamed in terror as she stopped at the edge of a cliff feeling trapped. The dog demon inched his way closer as she mindlessly stepped back and fell into blackness.
Waking up screaming and sweating, Kagome realized she was safe.
'What was that? Who was that?' as she began to cry.
The spider hanyou stood outside her door and smiled sinisterly.
