(:Disclaimer:) I do not own Inu Yasha. He owns me.
(:A.N:) I'm back from my trip to Tokyo! Well, not to say that that's a good thing, but at least I can work some more on my beloved fanfic(s). I had a great time on my trip, staying up late eating Pocky (the almond kind is my favorite) watching Haibane Ranmei (My favorite anime alone with NieA_7 and Inu Yasha) and chatting with my friends. It was really nice to see my family, so I'm in a good mood (I'm going back in about three weeks, for easter break) and am hopefully going to add a good chapter to this story tonight! Well, enough with my nonsense, onto the story!
Haunting Me in Dreams
Chapter Twenty-Two : Blurred
By : Feng Shui Goddess
I sat up, with both terror and confusement in my eyes. Was my dream real? Was that really me in the future? I wiped the precipitation from my forehead, sighing. I had been having such odd visions in my dreams, it was scary. It was like my visions at night were reality, and that my hours awake were a dream, everything was blurred. I looked down at Sango sleeping peacefully at the base of the tree I was in, a small smile was on her face. I turned and cracked my back, groaning in relief. I swiftly jumped down to the forest floor, landing gracefully on my feet. I walked about, impatiently waiting for Sango to wake up. 'This isn' the time to sleep,' I thought to myself, 'we need to find Kyozame and I need to get back the Shikon no Tama...' I coughed loudly, hoping to stir the sleeping girl. She shifted onto her opposite side, not opening her eyes. I sighed, and decided to try poking her, instead. I kneeled closely at Sango's side, and poked her side gently. This didn't seem to effect her at all, so I continued poking her harder and harder until she hit me with her arm while she was rolling over and I fell over the girl, my arms holding me above her body. My face turned bright red, and I tried to sit back up without Sango noticing. Unfortunately, her eyes shot open and she let out a shrill scream. I covered her mouth, "shut up girl! It's not what it seems like!" She blinked, rubbind the sleep out of her eyes, "oh, it's just you, Inu Yasha. I thought that someone was trying to attack me or something. But what were you doing on your hands and knees above me? (A.N: He was arched above her, not actually on top of her ^ ^;; Remember, this is not a romance fic.)" My face became hot and red, " I was... waking you up. Or at least trying to. Don't get any weird ideas, girl." She giggled, "well, you prevailed. I am wide awake now, thanks to you." I sighed, "that's enough, now hurry up and get ready, we've got a demon to kill." She nodded, and got ready for the day.
We continued our journey later that day, after I managed to drag Sango away from our camping spot. She continued to complain that she was tired for a long time, until she figured out that I wasn't going to stop for her to rest no matter how much she whined and begged. "You just woke up, wench," I argued, dragging her down the path by her arm. She whimpered, but allowed me to drag her. The sky was a light shade of gray, and the air smelled of rain and was heavy and foggy. Not the most refreshing day in the world, but it could've been worse. Black crows were flying high in the sky, cawing as they flew. I could scence that Kyozame was near; the atmosphere was telling me. A chilly breeze blew through the forest, sending chills down my spine. "Do you feel it?" I asked Sango, "Kyozame is near." She nodded, and we quickly continued through the forest, me no longer having to pull the girl. Eventually, about a mile down the path, I caught Kyozame's scent. He had a very destinctive smell about him; he smelled of death, blood, fear, and anger. His scent made me sick, it made me want to kill him even more than I already wanted to. I slowly extended my claws, and let out a low growl. Sango grabbed my arm, "calm down, Inu Yasha. We'll get to him, but don't strain yourself." I ignored the girl's advise and continued down the path in my current state, the trees rushing past me in a blur.
We eventually reached a large castle which reeked of Kyozame's scent. The lot was run down and in shabby condition. Dried out plants spread out around the area, and parts of the land even apeared to be flooded. I grabbed Sango's arm and pulled her up to the enterance of the building, and tried to open the door. It was locked, so I kicked the door as hard as I could and it swung open. The interior of the building was definately a lot nicer than the exterior, foreign art and sculptures decorated the castle, and large chandelears of candles hung from the ceiling. The inside was dimly lit, becuase of the small amount of light the candles omitted, the cloudy skies outside, and the fact that all the windows had thick cloth curtains draping them. A strong exotic insence made me feel lightheaded, as its scent loomed throughout the hallways. I could hear the faint sound of people coming from the room opposite of where I was, down the hall, so I ventured towards the door. Many ropes hung from the ceiling, making the hallway look like a shrine. A large circular mirror hung on the wall to the side of the doorway, making the area appear bigger. I carefully and slowly slid the door open, to reveal a large room full of kimonos and fancy folding screens painted with expensive inks. Old Chinese scriptures hung from the walls, accenting the room. I saw the outline of a figure behind a nearby floding screen, so I cautiously looked behind it.
Kyozame sat there, with his legs crossed and his eyes closed. He looked different than he did when I last saw him, his muscles were larger and he had stripes and other demonic markings decorating his skin. He knew I was there, I knew it, but he was going to attack when I wasn't looking. I pulled the sword from it's sheath at my side, and held it close to Kyozame's neck. He slowly opened his now bloodshot red eyes and looked into mine. "Inu Yasha, you're still alive? What a surprise? Oh, and look! You've brought me a human girl to kill, as well. How generous of you, I'll be sure to give you a proper burial." I slashed at his neck, but it didn't seem to hurt him... at all. "You're all talk, Kyozame. You're dead this time, and I won't go easy on you. Prepair to die!"
(:A.N:) I'm sorry if this chapter seemed short and uneventful, but I had a long flight and would like to go to bed. I'll post another chapter tomorrow afternoon after school, so fear not! Thank's for reading this chapter and PLEASE REVIEW! -Mae-
