Haunting Me in Dreams
Chapter Twelve : Hate
By : Feng Shui Goddess
I awoke the next morning sweating with fear. 'Another dream about her,' I thought to myself, 'her spirit won't leave me alone. She truly is... She's haunting me in dreams.' I recalled all the memories and dreams that I had been having lately, all having to do with her death. I wanted to remember every detail of her life, yet part of me just wanted to move on. 'I need to get my revenge,' I thought, 'I promised myself and Mother that I would. Her spirit will be at peace if my father is killed.' At least I hoped that her spirit would calm down. I sat up, catching the blanket behind my head as it fell. I stood up on the tree branch, grabbed my bag, and jumped down onto the wet forest floor, landing on my feet. The grass was lightly frosted with morning dew, as were all the leaves on the trees. I quickly stuck my hand in my pocket to make sure it was still there, and thankfully it was. I walked out of the forest to the path that I had arrived from, continuing down it. All the smells of the morning air lifted my spirits. Ever since I had gotten my hands on the Shikon no Tama, I was somewhat relieved. But for some reason I kept thinking about Kikyo and her family. I'm sure that they were greatly affected by me taking the jewel. I could still see Kikyo's terrified, painfilled eyes as I slapped her face. I could still smell her tears as they poured from her sorrowful eyes. Part of me greatly regretted everything that had happened yesterday. The other part of me thought it was well worth it. 'She deserved what you did, Inu Yasha. After all, she was trying to pry into your life,' I thought to myself, 'that's true... but... She was only trying to help... Or maybe, just maybe. Maybe she was trying to hurt me. Maybe she wanted me to lose control. Hell, maybe she didn't even care. All she probably cared about was the jewel.' I wasn't sure what to believe just yet, and I wouldin't know what to believe until I heard Kikyo herself tell me the truth.
As the day pressed on, slowly but surely, I began to get paranoid about my posession of the jewel. I turned around at every noise I heard, and kept my hand in my pocket with the jewel in it at all times. I didn't know why I was being so protective, I guess I just thought that someone was going to take it from me. After all, plenty of demons had lost their lives fighting over the sacred Shikon no Tama, and I wanted to make sure that I wasn't going to be one of them. I continued with all my sences alert, and my claws extended. I eventually reached a nice place to take a rest. Even though I wasn't tired, I still felt that it was best if I took some time to calm down. 'Nobody is going to take the Shikon no Tama,' I assured myself, 'they don't even know you have it. They still think it's in Kikyo's posession.' Although the thought of demons chasing after Kikyo wasn't the most comforting think in the world, it still made me feel better than thinking that a bunch of demons were after me. I laid down in the grass, looking up at the sky. It was cloudy, and I smelled rain in the air. 'Oh well,' I thought, 'the rain doesn't bother me.' I closed my eyes for a few minutes, thinking about what I was going to do when I returned home to my empty house. I hoped that no one had broken in and stolen anything. Of course, there really wasn't anything of much value in the house, considering that I had the most valuable items with me. I stretched my arms out on the ground, yawning. 'Living alone really isn't all that bad,' I thought to myself, 'if you live alone, you can do whatever you want, and always be confined in your own solitude. If you're alone, you don't have to worry about pleasing anyone else, and you have your whole day to yourself, doing whatever you wanted.' I thought about how I could now go hunting without Mother scolding me, and I could go to the villiage whenever I wanted. It's not like I actually would ever be that excited about going to the villiage, for all the demons there looked down on me, but the thought that I could made me feel independant.
Suddenly, I heard a rattle in the bushes, and smelled a demon. Sitting up, I turned around to find a full blood demon standing just feet away from me. He looked to be about 17 in human years, but I knew that he was by far older than I. He had long black hair that was tied by cloth below his shoulders. Black pinstripes covered his face and hands, and he had silver eyes. He was dressed in a yukata with battle boots. A metal chest plate wrapped around his chest, protecting his heart from any attacks. He looked me in the eyes, and smiled. "Hello, boy. I hear rumors that you have the Shikon no Tama. Is that so?" I shivered at his smooth, monotonious voice. "What the hell is it to you?" I asked, knowing he was going to want to fight me. "That's rather foul language for a child your age to be using," he laughed, showing his long fangs. "Shut up!" I demended, out of fury and fright. "I can't blame you for being scared. After all, you're just a hanyou, and I'm a full blooded demon." I glared up at him, baring my fangs, "I've had it with you, bastard." He continued laughing, "stupid child. What do they call you?" I continued staring at the demon, not letting him out of my sight, "Inu Yasha." He looked up at the sky. "Inu Yasha? Aren't you the son of the Great Demon of the Western Domain...? Minoku, that's his name, right? Nevertheless, my name is Kyozame, and I will kill you today." I ran up to Kyozame with fury in my eyes, and my claws extended to their limit. I tried to impail him with my claws, but he swiftly moved and grabbed my hair. He lifted his hand to punch my face, but I blocked his attack with my hand, and tore into his flesh with my claws, making his fingers on that hand temporarily paralyzed. He screamed in pain for a minute, as I sunk my fangs into the arm he was holding me with, tearing off a chunk of his flesh. He looked at me with his cold anger filled eyes, and heaved his body towards me, attempting to knock me down. He prevailed, and he attempted to dig his claws into my chest. Before he had the chance to, however, I dug one of my claws into his right eye. He let out another high pitched scream, making my ears press down on my head due to the high noise. I knocked Kyozame off of me, and stuck my hand into his back as hard as I could, making it go through to his other side. He lay there for a few moments, motionless, until he suddenly got up and ran out of sight. I watched as Kyozame ran off, with a confused expression on my face. 'He left just like that?' I thought to myself. 'How pitiful.' I reached into my pocket that the Shikon no Tama was in, only to find that...
...The Shikon no Tama had been stolen...
(:A.N:) Well, that's it for chapter twelve! Just in case you were wondering, Kyozame literally means 'fun kill' which I felt fit his personality perfectly. Hmm... I wonder what happened to the Shikon no Tama (it's kinda obvious... lol) well, I'll update either tonight or tomorrow morning, so fear not! Please review, okay? Thank you! -Mae-
