Bent Reality
Chinese Cookie Fortunes
Inuyasha watched with relief as the Kagome in his arms slowly started to become whole again. He sighed and shook her slightly. Kagome opened her eyes to see his golden orbs starring down at her. She smiled, and then she realized that she was crying.
Inuyasha shook her slightly. "What's wrong?"
Kagome looked up at the Inuyasha wearing the fire red kimono. "You talked to me…"
"Well of course I talked to you-"
"No." Kagome shook her head. "In my dream you said I should stay in the past…"
"Uh…"
"You said that you were now living in my time and that you waited 500 years…" Kagome pushed him away and stumbled to a tree.
"500 years for what?"
"For me." She fell at his feet and cried into her hands. Inuyasha bent down and put his hands on her shaking shoulders.
"Kagome it was a dream, calm down. Why are you crying?" Inuyasha was gentle with his but his voice was harsh.
She stopped her tears and sobbed occasionally. She grabbed Inuyasha's wrists and looked straight into his eyes. "I left you all alone."
Inuyasha wasn't sure what to say.
"Alone for 500 years." Kagome let go off him and clamped her hands around his waist and held him tight.
Inuyasha put his arms on her back and held her just as close. "Kagome I'm here now."
Kagome said nothing. She just held him close and took in his wonderful scent. It was a perfect moment. There were stars in the sky and a light breeze blew past them, Kagome wished it could last forever.
Inuyasha rested his chin on her hair and closed his eyes. She smelt of the most wonderful things. He liked her arms around him. He wished this moment could last forever.

Inuyasha sighed in relief when Kagome stopped talking and she didn't open her eyes. He slumped to his knees beside her bed and rested his head on her soft blankets.
"I saw that." Rin said.
"Shut up!" Inuyasha yelled.
"You almost blew it. If she had awakened some of us would not be alive today. Specifically me." Rin was actually angry. She stomped over to Inuyasha and ripped of the baseball cap he was still wearing. She grabbed his ear and threw him against the closed door. "How could you be so selfish?!"
"Ouch, that hurt!" Inuyasha ignored her question.
"You would risk everything just to talk to her! She was going to come back! She wanted to be with you! You could have killed more people than me! What about Miroku and Sa-"
"I know!" Inuyasha yelled. He picked his cap off the ground and placed it back on his head.
Rin become quite and narrowed her eyes. She pushed past him and walked out the door, without a single word. Inuyasha slammed the door behind her and ran his hands through his hair.
He really did almost blow it.
"Wonder what made her go to the past instead?" he asked himself.

The sun was rising and it was a beautiful site. Sango had her mouth half open as she watched the colors dance across the sky. Shippo and Miroku were sleeping, Miroku more unconscious than sleeping.
"Almost there!" Sesshomaru yelled back.
"Okay!" Sango yelled and drew her attention back to the warmth of the sun.
"My lord why are you taking them to her?" Jaken asked.
"Because." His answer was final and Jaken did not ask again.
Rin started to stir from her sleep and Jaken poked her with his staff.
Rin grabbed the end of the staff and ripped it out of Jaken's hands she then tossed it over the side and watched it fall towards the trees. Jaken dove off with it.
"Funny." Sesshomaru said as he watched Kirara catch both Jaken and the staff. "You knew she would catch it didn't you?" He asked Rin.
She just smiled at him and yawned.
"Hey!" Sango yelled and Kirara pulled up beside the dragon. "We don't want this!" She threw Jaken, who held the staff, at Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru caught him by the neck of his kimono and dangled him over the edge. "Nothing but trouble."
"My lord!" Jaken was full of panic and fear. "I am your loyal servant!"
Sesshomaru threw Jaken behind him and Jaken grabbed onto the end of the Dragon's tail. Rin laughed and pointed as Jaken tried to climb his way up the tail.
Kirara mewed and yawned and her speed seemed to lessen. Flying for as long as she had is tough work.
"Hey! We can't fly much farther!" Sango yelled
"Good, cause there it is!" Sesshomaru pointed to the small village that seemed to be only several houses. There was a large lake surrounding them that reflected the gleam of the sun, taking Sango's breath away.
Sesshomaru landed next to the lake and Kirara followed suit. She transformed into her smaller self as soon as everyone was off of her and jumped into Sango's arms. She then wasted to time and fell straight to sleep.
"Demons!" A male villager pointed from the porch of his house. "Honey! Demons!" He ran inside as though his life were in danger. Well it could have been with Sesshomaru there.
Not long after a young woman with brown hair tied up into four ponytails and wearing a short green kimono walked out. "Demons he says. Monsters he says. I'll give him demons and monsters." She noticed the visitors in her front yard and bowed to Sesshomaru.
"Stand up." Sesshomaru groaned.
"Yes my lord." The girl said and stood. Sango was sure that she saw the girl give Jaken a nasty glare.
Miroku wasted no time. "Beautiful maiden!" He took the girl's hands in his own. "Please do me the honor of baring me a child."
SMASH.
Miroku lay unconscious on the floor. Sango stood over him with a giant rock in her hands.
"Sango, Miroku, Shippo…" Sesshomaru motioned to the girl. "This is the guard of the village, Petra."
Petra bowed, "It is an honor."
"We do not have time to spar, my dear girl. Take us to Kikyo." Sesshomaru said.
Petra looked up and gave Sesshomaru a glare. "Kikyo does not wish to be visited by the likes of you."
"Why you filthy human!" Sesshomaru took an imposing step forward but stopped when Rin grabbed his pant leg.
Petra turned her back to the crew. "You may send one person to see Lady Kikyo, one only."
"Two?" Miroku asked.
Petra shot him a cold stare, "One." She said through gritted teeth.
"Just checking." Miroku said.
"I do not care to see Kikyo, she was my brothers wench." Sesshomaru hopped on the back of the dragon. "You only wanted me to take you to Kikyo, I do not have to stay."
"No skin of my back." Sango said.
Sesshomaru scoffed and helped Rin climb the dragon. "Hurry Jaken I will not waste my time with these low human's any longer."
"Hey!" Shippo yelled. "I'm a demon you know!"
Sesshomaru ignored Shippo's comment and the dragon took flight, within seconds the massive creature could no longer be seen.
"Thank the lord he's gone." Petra said.
"Here, here." Sango agreed.
"Petra?" A female voice floated from the cabin. "Do I have visitors?" A very agitated looking Kikyo stepped into the light of the rising sun.

The door of Kagome's hospital room shot open and Inuyasha tried to look surprised.
"Maggot!" Sesshomaru yelled as he slammed the door shut behind him. Rin leapt from the floor in glee and took the Chinese bags that he held in his only hand. The other being cut off by Inuyasha ages ago.
"Hello Fluffy!" she said as she and Ms. Higurashi rummaged through the contents.
"Inuyasha, Rin told me what you did!" Sesshomaru closed in on the boy.
"Gee, I'm so happy." Inuyasha said sarcastically.
"You better not be! You could have killed so many people. Including Rin!" He pointed towards his wife.
Inuyasha said nothing, he just shot daggers at Sesshomaru with his eyes.
"Who had the long noodles?" Rin called.
"Oh I did dear," Sesshomaru's toned changed so quickly you could have sworn he were a robot.
"Here you are Fluffy!" Rin handed him the noodles and gave him a sweet smile before she continued searching for her own meal.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome yelled.
The entire group turned around and saw Kagome sitting up in her bed. Her eyes were squeezed tight and her arms were reaching out in front of her as if searching for something.
"Kagome!" Inuyasha ran to her.
"Don't touch her!" Sesshomaru yelled.
Inuyasha stopped inches from touching her shoulder.
"Inuyasha look out!" Kagome yelled.
"She's just talking in her sleep." Inuyasha sighed. He had thought she was back.
"It's going to take longer than that for her to defeat-" Rin was cut off by Sesshomaru's hand covering her mouth.
"Defeat who?" Ms. Higurashi asked.
Inuyasha just watched the sleeping Kagome with caring eyes as she gently lowered herself back onto the bed and her eyes relaxed. Oh how much he missed her. He wished he could see those wonderful eyes open again, looking at him in that way she did so many years ago.
****
Kagome and Inuyasha walked along a dirt path. Kagome had insisted on walking. She was tired of being carried. Inuyasha walked several paces behind her with a very disgruntle look on his face.
Kagome was humming a very catchy tune to herself when-
"Oof." She said as something came into contact with her and knocked her to the ground beside the dirt path.
"Kagome! Are you finally ready to become my woman?" Koga picked her up quickly and held both her hands in his.
"Uh…" Kagome was speechless.
Inuyasha was trying rather hard not to look angry. He must have not been doing a good job about it because steam was literally coming from his ears.
"Dog breath!" Koga said in greeting. "Long time no smell!"
Inuyasha just clenched his teeth and growled.
"Uh, Koga…it's nice to see you and all…" Kagome pried her hands away from the wolf demon. "But me and Inuyasha are rather busy."
"You and dog breath?" Koga pointed to Inuyasha. "How can you even stand to look at him?"
Inuyasha jumped in the air ready to pounce.
"Sit!" Kagome yelled.
WHAM!
Inuyasha landed straight on top of Koga. Koga quickly pushed Inuyasha off of him and rolled onto his back.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome yelled and knelt down beside Koga.
Inuyasha pried himself off the ground and brushed the dirt of his clothes. "You said sit, not me."
"Sit!"
BASH!
"Stupid Girl." Inuyasha muttered with a face full of dirt.
"That's where you belong dog breath, in the dirt…" Koga laughed.
Kagome stood up and turned her back to him. "You shouldn't be so mean to him."
Koga looked taken back.
"He's saved me plenty of times."
"So have I!" Koga said proudly.
"Shut up!" Inuyasha had lifted Koga off the ground and was pointing a sharp claw right at his face.
"You don't scare me dog breath!" Koga said mockingly.
While the two 'dogs' fought, Kagome caught the glimmer of a jewel shard out of the corner of her eye.
"Hey guys." They didn't respond and Kagome quietly walked into the woods that lined the path following the gleam of the shard.
"A donkey's ass smells' better than your breath, dog breath!"
"I could beat you any day, any time!"
"Yeah?"
"Yeah!"
"No he couldn't, could he Kagome?"
"Yes I could, Kagome you tell him!"
Both boys turned to look at the spot where Kagome had been standing last, she wasn't there.
At that exact moment a loud scream shook the trees in the forest.
Koga and Inuyasha looked at one another. "Kagome." The said in unison and took off towards the owner of the scream.

A nurse ran quickly towards Kagome's hospital room and opened the door breathing hard. "Doctor…"
Inuyasha stood up from sitting of the floor knocking over his noodles. "What is it nurse?"
"You're needed in the E. R."
"I took the week off."
"It's an emergency…" She looked at Inuyasha with pleading eyes.
"Go brother." Sesshomaru said from his spot on the floor next to Rin. Inuyasha looked at him and nodded before dashing out the door.
"Who is it, what's the problem, when they'd get here?" Inuyasha asked the nurse as they sprinted down the hall way.
"Her name's Ayumi…she collapsed in the school cafeteria and her vitals show signs of Nippolifim… a drug sold on the street, kids use them to make themselves feel happy. She just arrived." The nurse burst into an E. R. room.
Inuyasha was surprised at the site that was before him. A young girl lay in the center of room on the bed, she appeared to be having seizures and several nurses and doctors were strapping her down. She wore a high school uniform identical to Kagome's. Two other girls were against the wall of the room. One was crying and the other seemed to be in disbelief. They two wore school uniforms.
"DOCTOR!" The nurse yelled.
Inuyasha ran to the side of the girl and presses down hard on her chest. The seizures stopped immediately and Inuyasha released his hands from her chest. The girl went into a fit of coughing.
"Nurse, get her an oxygen mask. I need an I. V. over here. Someone contact her parents!" Inuyasha yelled angrily and several nurses ran from the room to complete the tasks he had assigned them.
"Ayumi?" The girl who was in disbelief stepped forward.
"Stay back little lady." Inuyasha tried to be nice.
"We didn't know!" the other sobbed. "We didn't know Eri, we should have known!" the girl, who can be no one else but Yuka gripped the sleeve of Eri's uniform and sobbed onto her shoulder.
Two nurses returned, one attached a heart monitor to the girl and another hooked up the oxygen. Ayumi's coughing lessened as pure oxygen traveled through her system.
"It's just like Kagome!" Yuka cried. "We can't loose another friend!"
"Snap out of it Yuka! Kagome could wake up any day now!" Eri tried to calm her friend.
"They won't even let us see her!" Yuka collapsed to her knees in another fit of tears.
Inuyasha turned and looked at the girls with a look of astonishment on his face. "You know Kagome?"
The girl's just looked at him uncertain if they should speak or not.
A loud cough came from Ayumi and the heart monitor started to beat rapidly. Inuyasha's attention was drawn away from the two girls and to the one who was flat lining.
"Get me a glass of ice water!" he yelled.
No one moved.
"Now!"
Several nurses ran from the room.
Inuyasha gripped just above Ayumi's elbows and lifted her arms above her head. The nurse returned with a pitcher of ice water.
"Dump it on her face!" Inuyasha yelled as the loud ringing sound coming from the heart monitor started to annoy him.
The nurse did as she was asked and Ayumi sat up coughing and wiping her eyes. She then noticed someone had hold of her arms.
Everyone in the room stared at Inuyasha in amazement. Had he just brought someone back from death with a pitcher of ice water?
Ayumi stared at Inuyasha, gasping for breath.
"Ayumi!" Eri yelled and ran towards her friend.
"Oh my, you died!" Yuka sobbed as she flung her arms around her friend's neck.
Inuyasha backed away from the girls with a hidden smile on his face. 'So these are Kagome's friends…' he thought.
"Excuse me, Doctor?" Ayumi asked as though she had never been sick.
"Yes?" Inuyasha sounded pleasant.
"Thanks…"
"Hey! You asked us if we knew Kagome." Yuka was still crying.
"Do you know where she is? No one will let us see her…" Eri pleaded.
"I'll take you to her tomorrow…so Ayumi can go too." Inuyasha turned and left the room.
Ayumi let her friends hug her as a nurse brought her parents in.
"It was awful!"
"Ice water!" Yuka sobbed.
"So that's why I'm wet."
**********************************************
Did I scare you there for a second? Muahahaha. And thank you whoever mentioned I had forgotten about Koga…'cause the truth is he really did slip my mind. *Nervous Laughter*
What happened to Kagome earlier? Is she okay? What if she isn't?
Kikyo's finally here…why does she not look happy to see Miroku and Sango. And who exactly is Petra? (No one that important, I just want to make you think!)
Help! I need some ideas on what to do! Suggests are welcome!
