Disclaimer: I do not own Inu Yasha, so why don't you sue me?! ::snif:: these disclaimers hurt my feelings.
(A.N:) Wow, this is my third chapter in this story: In one day! lol! I guess I really don't have a life. I am proud of this story so far, and I feel that it has a lot of potential. Thanks to all of you who have reviewed. (Lil Washu Chan, I am surprised you followed my command by reading and reviewing, thank you so much!)

Haunting Me in Dreams
Chapter 3 : Searching
By : Feng Shui Goddess
"I'm so glad I poisoned your mother, Inu Yasha," my father smirked. I stopped dead in my tracks. I was hearing things, right? This couldin't be real! Mother coudin't be dead... Father couldin't have killed her... This was a dream. I slowly closed my eyes, tightly shutting them. I could feel my blood rushing through my veins, my heart pounding. All the muscles in my body pulled tight. "You're kidding," I said, "you'd never do anything like that to her. You loved her, right? You loved me. We were a family, and we're still one." My father snorted, "why would I want a son who was a hybrid like you? Your kind shouldin't even exist. I don't even know what I was thinking, marrying your mother." I had had enough. I quickly turned to face my father. "I hate you! I hate you! I promise, I swear, that I will get you back for this! I'll kill you ALL!" I turned and ran towards the door, grabbing my things on the way out. Once I was outside, I ran past the enterance gates, to be greeted by Sessho Maru. "What... What the hell do you want?" I demanded, still overwhelmed by what had just happened. "I pity you, Inu Yasha," he announced. "Isn't that wonderful. I'm so happy for you," I said as I trudged off. "Wait!" Sessho Maru called me. I turned around, fed up, and asked, "what?" Sessho Maru held out his hand, "this is for you." He handed me a small envelope full of different sorts of money. "What's this for?" Sessho Maru smirked, "hell, you are my brother, aren't you? I figured you could use a little money." Was Sessho Maru actually being nice? Wait... he had just said he pitied me, so this money must be out of pity. "Thanks," I mumbled under my breath. "Good luck," he said, as I walked off.
I walked slowly back towards my house. I didn't know who I was going to stay with, if anyone at all. Maybe it was best if I lived alone, in my solitude. The sun was almost set now, and the clouds burned a beautiful orange color. It was quite a ways back to my house, so I would have to hurry. As the sky grew darker, so did my fear. I was not afraid of the dark , but rather of whom was hiding in it. I'd heard stories of how dangerous the woods could be at night. There were very powerful demons, and hunters. But what was I afraid of? I was half a demon, anyways, so I was still good at fighting. When I was almost at my house, I heard a nearby tree shaking. Something smelled strange. Like a human. A human girl. I slowly walked towards the source of the noise, a little frightened, but not enough to stop me from finding the intruder. "Who the hell's there?" I demanded, kicking the bush. Slowly, a figure crept from behind the bush.
She was a young human girl, maybe a year or two younger than me. She wore a miko's robes, and had a bow and arrow fastened to her back. She was about a head shorter than me, and her long black hair was fastened by a white cloth. She was very beautiful, and seemed to be afraid of me, as I could smell her sweat. "What are you doing here?" I asked. "I was just out on a walk, and I got lost..." she explained in a calm tone. "Do you live far from here?" I asked. "In Musashi's Domain," she explained. That was quite a ways from where we were now, espicially for a human. "I'm Inu Yasha, how about you?" The girl smiled, "Kikyo." I continued walking down the path, and Kikyo followed behind. "So, wench. I take it you haven't a place to stay?" I beckoned. Kikyo shook her head 'no'. "Well, then," I mused, "I take it you'd like to stay with me for the night?" Kikyo nodded, almost embarassed. "You know I'm a hanyou, right?" I asked, curious about her answer. "Yeah, I do. But you seem different than other hanyou, like you're sad, and wouldin't hurt anyone," she replied. I was surprised by the girl's responce. "You're good, wench," I said, walking faster, as my home became visable. "I take it you don't want to talk about it," she commented. "I'm not one to share my life's story with a stranger," I replied. "Well, then," she said, " I guess I'll just have to get to know you better."
Finally, I approached my home. I walked over to where my mothers ashes were still on the dirt, and sat down. Kikyo soon followed, and sat next to me. "What's this?" she asked, pointing to the ashes scattered all around.
"This," I started, " is where I'm going to build a grave tomorrow." Kikyo looked up at me, "for whom?" I looked down at the ground, not wanting to answer the girl's question. "What's it to you?" I snapped back, not wanting to sound so harsh. Kikyo looked at me with pity in her eyes, "It's ok. You don't have to tell me." Oh, how I hated being pitied. All my life people had shunned and pitied me, because of my mother or because I was half human. Today even my half brother who had never acted kindly towards me, gave me money and told me, flat out, that he pitied me. 'Someday,' I thought to myself, 'no one will show pity or sorrow towards me, only envy and respect.' I had never known why I always cared so much about what people thought of me, I just did. I was so self concious most of the time that I have never had time to truly enjoy my life.
"Inu Yasha," Kikyo called, knocking me out of my daydream, "I'm tired, do you have a place where I can sleep?" I nodded, "sorry for staring off into space like that." I took the girl into my home, and retrieved some blankets out of a cabinent. I pulled out a small futon that I used to sleep on and laid it on the floor, placing the blankets over it. "Here," I said, pointing at the mattress and the blankets, "use whatever you like." Kikyo bowed, then asked, "where are you going to be sleeping?" I pointed to a door leading into my mother's old room. "In there," I said, "just ask if you need anything." Kikyo gave a warm "thank you" and I walked into the room I was staying in. The room still smelled of my mother, which comforted me. Her futon was still the same as it was after she died, and you could still see the shape of her head indented on the pillow she used. "I promise," I said to myself, "I will avenge your death, I promise." With that I crawled into the futon and fell asleep, feeling as if my mother was embracing me.
(A.N.) Wow, end of chapter 3! I don't really have any idea on how long this story will be, or how it will end, so the future of this story will be a surprise to everyone! I tried to improve my grammar in this story, and I really didn't think it was very bad in the other two parts. Oh, well. Please review and thank you for giving your time to read this story, I really appreciate it!
