Chapter Four: Shake the Mood

Inuyasha came back from the well, his face murderous. When he arrived to the village he simply sat in the corner of the hut, sulking, ignoring Sango, Miroku and Kaede, and hitting Shippo violently.

"I'm afraid he fought again with Kagome-sama," Miroku sighed.

Sango looked at the hanyou, pondering. "Might be. But... it's different. When they arrived here they just grabbed whatever they could and literally flew down the well."

"A demon?" Miroku thought aloud. "In her time? If that was so than Kagome-sama would have come back with Inuyasha. Maybe something went wrong?"

"Shut up." Inuyasha growled from his corner.

Miroku was confused. "Inuyasha?"

"Just... shut up..."

-*-

Kagome walked around the garden for the hundredth time. Inuyasha was supposed to arrive later that week, but she thought that he will be here earlier. Something like... in an hour.

He always comes after three days.

It has been two days since her mother told her about her wedding, and this was the third day. She was restless, expecting, and no one understood her.

Well... that didn't count her brother. But he was expecting him for another reason.

She remembered now that Souta went to the house of Inutaisho to learn. Instead, he met Inuyasha... and learned things that he wasn't supposed to know. As soon as he got back, though, he acted like himself again.

She didn't understand the reason of Sesshoumaru being here. It was a mystery to her.

Also, she felt all the time that she'd forgotten something awfully important. She forgot something that she needed. A way to go, a way to save...

~*~

Screams, demons, people dying. Nothing to do, we arrived after...

~*~

She shook her head. Those so-called-'visions' came a few times a day. Not so much like in the day that she was announced of her betrothal –she kept thinking about that particular day as 'the first day' from some reason—, but still, they came. And after they came... they went.

-*-

Inuyasha jumped again down the well. He will get her back no matter what. Sit or not, she was coming with him.

He came out, looking grimly at the bodies that were there. They barely managed to kill the demons that he sent, but the cost...

He jumped away from the cameras and reporters from the world, who tried to discover what happened. He didn't know what they were doing there, and what those things were, but he knew that he needed to stay away from them.

He jumped-flew to the place where Kagome had stayed. He saw her sitting in the same spot, resting her head on the table and her arms.

"Kagome, we're going," he told her firmly. When she didn't response he went closer to her, and saw she was sleeping.

"Oh, great." He grumbled, lifting her and holding her in his arms. "Just when I'm being decisive, she sleeps." He glared at her. "Way to go, Kagome."

He leapt back to the way he'd just came from, trying not to wake the sleeping figure in his lap.

All the way back, though, he sulked quietly to himself.

-*-

Kagome was still in the garden, but without shoes, and with skirts raised. She stood inside of a knee deep pond, careful not to wet her clothes, and frowning every time she let them accidentally to touch the cool water.

It was a hot day, or maybe it was just her. She felt hot and the only way she could think about to cool herself was to go to the pond. It turned out to be a mistake, because she couldn't just sit and relax. Contrarily, she needed to stand and hold the skirts of the uncomfortable dress. If thoughts could burn, the dress would have been turned into plain ashes long ago. But then again, maybe she shouldn't. This was, after all, the only thing she wore...

Suddenly, the world became shaky. She started to get out of the water, but didn't make it. She fell, only to feel two arms around her, and to see a pair golden eyes.

"I knew it," she smiled. "Always after three days..."

And then the darkness claimed her.

-*-

Inuyasha jumped into the well, and, of course, got out from the other side. Kagome stirred a little, and he shifted her position so she will feel more comfortable. She coughed once, and then cracked a pair of unfocused eyes for a moment.

"Osu –"

-*-

"—wari."

She woke up with a start. Something bothered her; she opened her eyes, saw golden eyes, and then said "sit" automatically. All of it in a dream.

"Are you all right?" A voice sounded.

She looked up, only to see the figure from her dream. "Kyaaaaaaaa!~"

-*-

"Fuck it, Bitch!" Inuyasha growled, barely managing to toss Kagome aside gently to the ground for the cause of not wanting to crush her under the spell.

Dreaming again.

He waited patiently until he could stand back, and continued to keep a watching eye on her.

He got to the hut, and hurried to put her down. He didn't want her to sit him in the middle of her dream... especially when he was holding her.

-*-

She was startled to see someone's face as the first thing she saw, and now she tried to calm her heart. She tried to ignore the fact that he was in her dream. That too, helped to raise her heartbeat. The demon that was in her dream.

"What happened?" the same voice, annoyed, sounded. "You shouldn't start doing jumping after you faint."

"Faint?" Kagome echoed. "Did I faint?"

The man eyed her weirdly. "Don't you remember that? I caught you."

Kagome looked at her bed, his familiar gaze unnerving her. "Ummm... I assume I need to thank you..."

"Keh. Don't trouble yourself if you don't want to."

"But I want to thank you!"

"Than want as much as you want," he shrugged. "Don't come out of the bed if you don't want to spin."

And he left.

Weird boy... she thought, shook her head, lied down again, and slept.

-*-

Inuyasha looked at her when no one saw. Once he thought he saw her fall (but she was on the floor of Kaede's hut). It got him suspicious, so he stayed there, not meaning to move...

At least not until she woke up...

Preview:

She waited a second, staring hard.

Another second passed by.

Inuyasha looked at her, puzzled, and cocked his head. "What was that supposed to mean?" He asked.

"I... don't know..." She sweatdropped. "It was supposed to do something!"

"Really?"

Kagome nodded.

"Then let's wait and see what it was supposed to do..."

Oi. Stupid FF.Net was down yesterday, so therefore, couldn't update. *glares*
