Chapter 5: Dark dreams
--------------------
Kagome ran into a very deserted forest she looked around in vain hoping to find at least one person. However she was all alone. She could hear voices murmuring in the trees as though they could talk. Her head spun as she looked from one place to another but yet couldn't quite tell where the voices were coming from. Kagome ran and ran until she came to a small clearing. She brushed the bushes aside to walk into the clearing.
Two figures stood there. One of a girl that looked so much like Kagome it was uncanny. However her dark eyes were not those that were soulful, carefree, and innocent. They were full of darkness, betrayal, and deceitful traits.
Kagome gasped when she saw the other figures. A silver haired male hanyou…it, it was Inuyasha! She could see the two were embracing each other. But then suddenly another demon came into the scene. She could see Inuyasha fighting with the demon and the girl that looked like her defending the full demon instead of Inuyasha. Kagome ran up to Inuyasha hoping to get them to stop fighting. But she ran right through him.
"No! Inuyasha no!" she cried out as she saw the demon slashing his claws through Inuyasha's fur. He surely didn't stand a chance against the demon because it was a full demon and not half. She wanted so much to get him away form the clutches of the evil demon but she couldn't she felt weak and helpless. So she turned around and ran into the opposite direction.
-----------------------
Kagome woke up from her very unpleasant dream. Shimmering sweat dripped from her face, as her breaths were hard as she glanced around at her darkened bedroom. Outside the moonlight reflected on the trees making them sway in the darkness. Inside of her room Kagome could see the shadows of the trees waving peacefully in the never-ending darkness.
Kagome stood up and got out of bed. Her foot touched the cold marble floor as she shivered because of the cold chill it sent down her spine. She made her way outside on to the balcony and leaned against the railing. The wind blew her dark tresses as one of her hands moved to brush a piece of hair away.
She stared out at nothing in particular when she zoned out. She snapped back to reality when she heard twigs snap and footsteps running in the garden down below. She looked down to see a silver hair figure running swiftly below.
"I…Inuyasha?"
Gold eyes looked up into her own gray blue ones. She could feel his gaze burrowing into the deepest depths of her soul. It was so sad. The story the dream that had played through her mind, and the worst part was it involved Inuyasha.
"What is it princess?" Inuyasha said roughly as he leaped up onto the balcony in one jump.
Kagome gasped. She didn't expect him to be able to do something like that but then again what do you expect he is a half a demon after all. "What were you doing down there?"
"I couldn't sleep so I decided to take a walk that's all. Now if I may ask you a question…what are you doing up at this time of night?"
"I had a nightmare and decide to come out here for some fresh air" Kagome looked down at the ground for she couldn't stand meeting his eyes again. It was too hard. It seemed like he could tell what she was thinking almost as if he could read her mind of something."
They both stood there in silence when Inuyasha decided that it was inappropriate for him to be in her room at this hour.
"I should go. I don't think it's very good for me to be here at this hour. If people see us they might get ideas."
"Who will see us Inuyasha? The whole palace is asleep…can I ask you a favor?"
"Yes what is it?"
"Can you stay here with me tonight…I mean just to talk…I don't want to be alone I might start having nightmares again."
"Uh…okay."
Inuyasha stayed by Kagome's side for the whole night. They talked about random things until finally Kagome fell asleep. Inuyasha picked her up bridal style and placed her on her bed. He pulled the covers over her and stared at her sleeping face. She was beautiful he can give her that. He brushed a piece of hair out of her face and kissed her forehead. "Sweet dreams Princess." He whispered before going back to his room and falling into a blissful sleep.
~*~*~*~*~*~
The sun's rays shone down on the beautiful young princess as she opened her to take a peak at the new day. Her delicate hands rubbed the sleep out of her eyes. She sat up upon her bed and realized that she was not outside. 'How did I get in here?' she thought to herself. She vaguely remembered walking outside last night and seeing Inuyasha. Wait a minute seeing Inuyasha? Maybe he was the one that tucked her into bed. She immediately got up when she noticed that it was pretty late in the afternoon. She had overslept again!
Kagome walked downstairs and outside to see the new day. The sun shone brightly as the birds chirped and the demons fought each other with dirty words, and the cooling wind contrasted with the sun's hot rays and... Wait a minute the demons fought each other with dirty words?
"Shut up dog turd!"
"You shut up wolf brain!"
Kagome sweat dropped as she saw the sight in front of her. She knew it was too good to be true! Waking up to two quarrelling demons was not a good idea…wait a minute one demon and one hanyou! "Uh…hi there you two!"
Kouga and Inuyasha turned around immediately when they heard the familiar voice.
"Good afternoon princess is there something I can do for you?" Kouga asked smiling brightly at the young princess.
"Uh…um…not really I think I'm going to go and practice archery now, see you two later." Kagome walked away from the two quarrelling guys. She picked up her bows and arrows and walked towards the archery field. Shooting arrows always seem to calm her down. Whenever she had any unanswered questions of complications she would go out to the archery field and suddenly all her troubles seem to float away. It isn't only a hobby for her but a passion.
Kagome pulled back the bow and released the arrow. It hit the target directly in the middle and she stared at it admiring her skill. Kagome was taken aback when she heard clapping sounds from behind her. She turned around to see Inuyasha and Kouga.
"Great job princess!" Kouga praised.
"Yeah nice job. For a woman anyways." Inuyasha said.
"Oh and you think you can do better dog boy?" Kouga raised and eyebrow.
"I know I can do better then you, you furry wolf!" The hanyou prince responded.
"Fine lest have a little contest!"
"Fine by me! Ah here are the terms you see those apple trees over there?" Inuyasha asked.
"Yeah what about it?"
"Whoever shoots down the most apples wins!"
"Fine you're on!"
The two brought out their bows and arrows and shot at the apples with quite good aim Kagome thought. However she was quite annoyed to see them fighting constantly it's like she can never go anywhere with them! 'They are so immature'!
Twenty minutes later…
"Ha ha! I win!" Inuyasha shouted.
"So your just lucky you shot two more apples then I did."
"I see you're just a sore loser! Isn't that right Kagome? Kagome?" Inuyasha turned around to look for Kagome but she was nowhere to be found.
"Now look what you did you made the princess leave!" Kouga yelled at Inuyasha.
"Why the hell are you yelling at me for your the one that wanted to have the stupid competition in the first place! Feh just stay away from me okay!" Inuyasha took off to find Kagome.
