Haunting Me in Dreams
Chapter Twenty-Nine : Speak
By : Feng Shui Goddess
"I told you to TELL me, Inu Yasha. Now will you tell me or WHAT?!" Sessho Maru screamed, as he tightened his grip around my neck, making it so I couldin't breathe. I didn't know what to do, wether I should tell him the truth or not. Was he after the Shikon no Tama, too? He was so strong already, he didn't need the aid of the jewel to inhance his powers. 'You can't tell him, Inu Yasha, he'll steal the jewel from you. Keep your honor and pride by not telling him. He won't kill you. After all, he's your own brother!' part of me screamed in my head. 'Ha! Do you really think he'd think twice about killing you? He hates you, he always has. You should definately tell him if you don't want him to rip your neck apart with his poison talons!' I decided that it was probably best to tell him... But, then, my plans of revenge... The Shikon no Tama that I had been through so much for; well, all that would be useless. "Speak to me, Inu Yasha. I won't think twice about killing you, you know. In fact, Father wanted me to even if you gave me the jewel. But I fought for you, saying that I wouldin't kill you unless you really truly deserved it, which you do right now. Now tell me, where is the Shikon no Tama!?" I mentally laughed. That bastard. The jewel was in my pocket, my right pocket to be exact. It was buried deep in my pocket, though, so it wouldin't fall out. Apparently he couldin't feel it's aura at all, unlike me. I thought that it would be nearly impossible to not sence the jewel's presence... It's smell, the power it omitted, it was a truly powerful stone. I felt Sessho Maru's talons dig ever so lightly into the thin flesh on my
neck, making me wince in pain. He had me pinned down by my arms and legs, and I couldin't move at all. I could feel poison slowly dripping into my blood stream, killing everything it touched. Such a sick, powerful toxin. I closed my eyes as my vision grew blurry. "Giving up and dying so soon? How pathedic, you half breeds are worth nothing. No power what so ever, just like a human. Just like your sickly, weak, pathedic human mother, whom Father killed. I even went out and bought the poison for him that day, you know. Cost a pretty penny, if I do say so myself. Yes, it was worth it, very much so. You went out in search of the Shikon no Tama, just as we'd expected. Yes, it was all a plan to get you to steal the Shikon no Tama for us. Now tell me where it is, and I will cure you with my sword." I gasped for air, inhaling only a little bit of air. Sessho Maru moved one of his hands onto my arm, and snapped it backwards, instantly breaking it. I tried to scream, but I couldin't. "Tell me," he urged. I watched the blood gush through the sleeve on my kimono, and down my collar. "This is your last warning, dammit!" Sessho Maru screamed in my face, "I know you're in pain, Little Brother, I know you want me to remove my talons from inside your neck. I can smell your fear. Now tell me where it is before I remove your head from your shoulders." I felt my eyes slowly close on their own, as I gasped for the small amount that I could breathe in. My vision grew dark and blurry, as I fell into a deep sleep.
~*Dream*~
Violet eyes. Midnight black hair. A beautiful melancholy smile. These are the things that I saw as I opened my eyes and my vision came into focus. "Wake up, Inu Yasha. It's a lovely day..." The voice and words I heard rang over and over in my head, echoing throughout my ears. Mother... She was here. "Okaasan, it's you!" I said, practically jumping off of the futon that I was sleeping on and into my mother's arms. She smiled, "You're finally up, good morning sleepy head." She sank down in the rocking chair she was sitting in, and placed the quilt she was working on on the floor, holding me in her soft embrace. "Okaasan... I'm so glad you're here," I said, tears forming in my eyes. "What is wrong, my son?" she asked in a soothing voice. "Ever since you died, Okaasan, I've been so alone. I'm so lonely without you! But... But here you are, safe and sound, content as usual." She smiled, "Died? What on earth are you talking about, Inu Yasha? I'm very much alive, as you can clearly tell from my touch. Yes, I am surely alive." I stood up and walked around the room. I heard Mother begin to hum a sweet, sorrowful melody that was very familiar to me. "Dreams..." I mumbled, "Dreams are so funny... How they play with your emotions. Yes, they are funny, that they are." Then I turned and faced my mother, "Sometimes... I wish that you would stop haunting me in dreams, Okaasan...
It hurts me so to picture you alive again. I love you Okaasan, I love you ever so much. But... Do you understand how it could hurt me to see you alive in dreams...?" I laughed silently, "No... I'm sure you wouldin't be able to picture it." Mother looked at me with tear filled eyes, "Inu Yasha... I've just missed you so much. Death is very lonely, you see. And it makes me so happy to see your face. And yet it makes me sad to see that you're growing up without me being there to be with you. Yes, as I once told you : People grow little by little every day, even though it is not always visable to them. Yes, you have grown, grown very much to me." I sat down on the futon, curling up into a little ball, allowing tears to stream down my face. Mother came up to me and wrapped her arms around me, and began to cry as well. "As we go on living, we learn little by little... Isn't that right?" she asked, scratching my ears. I nodded, "And... I've learned that I should wake up from these sorrowful dreams. Sayonara."
~*End of Dream*~
I awoke in a cold sweat, wrapped in some blankets on a cold stone floor. I sat up, pushing my hair off of my face. I examined my surrondings, and concluded that I had never been there before. I wasn't scared, though. I was angry. Very angry. I reached into my pocket where the Shikon no Tama should of been... to find that it wasn't there. 'Dammit, Inu Yasha. You let them get the damned jewel!' I screamed at myself. I stood up and punched the nearest cement wall, not even cringing at the pain that shot up my arm. I looked down at my other arm to notice that it was broken. Broken very badly. Blood was still gushing freely from the wound, and from my neck. I noticed that I became dizzy and disorientated suddenly, and I leaned against the wall. 'Poison... I almost forgot.' I went back over to the blankets that were laying on the ground, and let myself collapse onto them, wincing in pain. A few minutes later my father approached the cell that I was being held captive in, and smiled. I noticed that he was holding the Shikon no Tama. "Inu Yasha, my son. Long time no see. I see you're doing well," he laughed, unlocking the cell that I was in. I wanted to get up and attack him, but I had no such strength. He held out the Shikon no Tama. "I hear that you stole this with plans of killing me, eh? Well, no such luck for you, you little bastard," he smirked, kicking me in the side. "Yeah," I said, "and I plan to turn those plans into reality."
(:A.N:) Oh, no! Inu is being held captive! And Minoku stole the jewel from him! Hmm... I wonder whats gonna happen? Review and I'll update quicker! Oh, and to answer some questions:
Q. Is Kikyo going to appear later on in the fic?
A. Yes, most likely she will. In fact, I'm almost positive she will.
Uuh... well thats the only un answered question so far, but if you have any more please post them in your review! Thank you for reading and please review! -Mae-
