*****I refuse to write ANYMORE until I get 10 POSITIVE reviews on chapter one "Insomniac's Dream"!*****

Once I get 10 positive reviews, I will post the 2nd Chapter...to be titled " I Just Died In Your Arms Tonight"

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Also, the words "I'm just a dreamer...who dreams their life away, I'm just a dreamer, who dreams of better days..."
and
"If only we could all just find serenity...it would be nice if we could live as one...when will all this anger,hate
and bigotry ...be gone?" are by the famous Ozzy Osbourne [SHARON!] from a song called "Dreamer" off his "Down To Earth"
album...lyrics included on the bottom...listen to it...it's soft, oddly pretty and un-ozzy-ish!

Okay...DISCLAIMER: I don't own Inu Yasha...[well, besides the hours between 12 and 4 AM, that is...LMAO...j/k!]However, the
poem to be included in this fic and anything written here is MINE unless otherwise noted!!!

Thank you for being just what you are...

Inu Yasha looked down at the folded crumpled tear-stained parchment in his hand. All night he toiled in an attempt to
put his true feelings on paper. All night he had meditated on all that had happened in his life, and all that seemed to come
of it were a pair of coarse and painful tears running symmetrically down his cheeks. The dawn rose and ravaged the
countryside and touched the tears, exposing his shame to the light of day. Making them sting, and bringing more tears of
shame to join the ones already collecting upon his face.

"Dammit..." he said softly to no one in particular. "Dammit...just...dammit..."

He jumped down from his tree into a small river,the parchment still within the firm grasp of his fist. He sat down,
not bothering to remove his clothing, and felt the cool soothing water, the only thing that had shown his sympathy so far. It
reflected a rather crude but good-looking young man. Beautiful as only nature can be. His manner was abrupt, rough, cruel,
like the bark of a tree, but when you backed away from him, and saw the whole picture, saw the whole tree, not just parts, he
was quite breathtaking. Statuesque is a very animated sort of way.

Eyes the color of sunlight,the color of hawks-eyes, so deep, and penetrating. Unique, and mesmerizing. Eyes people
would've called soulfull if they had looked, if he hadn't been nothing. These eyes were offset by a soft silver-grey mane
trailing past his shoulders and a pair of dog ears the same color. He was of good build and complexion, with pale, but rosy
skin unmarred by wounds, though he had been in many fights, and was about average hight, perhaps a bit taller. Ashen white
fangs and claws were his weapons of choice.

"Waters..." Inu Yasha mumbled "waters...I thank you..." and as he got up to leave, a watery body clung to him. A
watery woman body. A watery woman hugging him. A woman holding him close.

"Kagome...Kikyo...Hisagin?" Inu Yasha begged.

"No...shhhhh...I am Oki, a naiad, sister of Haru, the drayad of the tree in which you slept. Do not cry." said the
woman of water, stroking his hair.
"Do not fear, my strong one. Do not forget, my Dreamer..." She said softly and compassionately after he had stopped
sobbing into her warm shoulder. She smiled a beautiful tragic and sincere smile, and was gone as suddenly as she had arrived,
leaving Inu Yasha alone once more with nothing but the water on his face and the water he sat in for company.

"I'm a dreamer...I dream my life away...I'm just a dreamer...who dreams of better days..." Inu Yasha whispered to
the winds.

"If only we could all just find serenity...it would be nice if we could live as one...when will all this anger,hate
and bigotry ...be gone?"

He eased himself up, afraid of further damaging or disturbing that part inside him that was broken. That part that
hurt him more than a dull rock getting pounded into his chest could. He could not hide from that pain he felt, there was no
solace. Sleep did no good. In fact, he found that the pain of not eating and not sleeping for weeks on end took the edge off.
The only comfort was the ever-looming thought:

"Maybe I'll die...maybe that will stop the memory...maybe it will stop the pain. Maybe it will be the end of me..."

Inu Yasha ran as fast as he could. Ran away. Hoping the pain and misery wouldn't catch up.

"Do not forget, my Dreamer......................"

Whoa...that was short...and quite pretty...I made it this short to lure y'all in...! NEXT CHAPTER: MEANINGFUL LENGTHY
WELL-WRITTEN FLUFFS-STUFFS!!!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Other notes:

For you dummies...a naiad is a water nymph, and a dryad is a tree nymph... if you don't know what a nymph is I suggest doing
the following things in numerical order:

#1 Yelling really loud at your parents for not reading you stories with nymphs in them.
#2 Go read some mythology, specifically GREEK
#3 Buying a tackhammer and get Tommy to come back there and beat you upside the head with it.
#4 Buy the movie "Tommy Boy" if you didn't get the above joke, or if you own it, watch it again!!!
#5 Go buy some RPGs
#6 Look it up.
#7 Study Faerie history
#8 Figure out what the above word IS!!!
#9 STOP DISCRIMINATING AGAINST MY PEOPLE!!!
#10 REVIEW MY WORKS!!!

Other Other Notes:

The names of Hisagin, Oki and Haru are all actual Japanese names...here's what they mean...:

Oki= Middle Of The Ocean

Haru= Born In Spring

Hisagin= It's actually 2 words; Hisa and Gin. Hisa means long lasting and Gin is silver or silver-colored. So her name is
roughly "long lasting silver"...then again, it probably doesn't translate into that, cause' I suck!
Also, don't feel bad if you're sitting there saying "Hisagin?!?! Who's she??? I don't remember her!!! Did I miss an
episode?!?! Did someone not tell me something?!?!" I made her up...she'll come along sooner or later, because I really like
the number 3!!!

Also, also, I'd appreciate it if you review my other FINISHED story "Phantoms Of A Lost Tomorrow"...thankies!!!

"Dreamer"
By Ozzy Osbourne

Gazing through the window at the world outside/Wondering will mother earth survive/Hoping that mankind will stop abusing her sometime/
After all there's only just the two of us/And here we are still fighting for our lives/Watching all of history repeat itself/Time after time

I'm just a dreamer/I dream my life away/I'm just a dreamer/Who dreams of better days

I watch the sun go down like everyone of us/I'm hoping that the dawn will bring a sign/A better place for those Who will come after us ...
This time/

I'm just a dreamer/I dream my life away oh yeah/I'm just a dreamer/Who dreams of better days

Your higher power may be God or Jesus Christ/It doesn't really matter much to me/Without each others help there ain't no hope for us
I'm living in a dream of fantasy/Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

If only we could all just find serenity/It would be nice if we could live as one/When will all this anger, hate and biggotry ...
Be gone?

I'm just a dreamer/I dream my life away/Today/I'm just a dreamer/Who dreams of better days/Okay/I'm just a dreamer/
Who's searching for the way/Today/I'm just a dreamer/Dreaming my life away/Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
