Chapter 6 - Dreams of Sadness
*****************************
*bang*
*smash*
"ooouu...." Kagome muttered, rubbing her forehead. She was sitting in her desk, half asleep, when the teacher decided to pull out a ruler, and 'accidently' smack her across the head with it.
"Miss Higurashi I suggest you pay attention in class, else you'll find yourself in the hallway for the rest of day." The teacher scolded. She sighed.
"Yes, Mr. Kagina. Sorry."
"You should be. Ayumi, continue on with chapter seven please.." He started. Ayumi stood, and started reading. Kagome groaned mentally, looking out the window longing. She should pay attention, or she would eventually fail this class, but whenever a day is a bright or warm on days like these, she can't help but regret being inside. She missed those days of constantly being outside, sleeping under the stars, talking with Sango, smacking Miroku, or cuddling Shippou.
But they didn't want her around...
... well at least HE didn't want me around...
Kagome rested her head in the palms in her hands, her elbows propped on the desk, chewing on the tip of her pencil idily.
Her eyes began closing, her eyelids feeling like a ton of bricks.
no.. must.. stay awake....
..too sleepy...
pay attention to... boring... teacher..
ne.....never....
She lost the battle, closing her eyes, she feel in to a light sleep, dreaming of her last time in the fuedal era with everyone she cared about...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dream mode....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Shippou!!!" Kagome yelled, diving for the small kitsune, and rolling out of the way, as the Scorpion youkai's stinger came down where the fox had been, seconds earlier.
"Kagome...!!" Shippou cried, clutching her shirt for dear life. She smiled down at him, stroking his head comforting.
"It's alright Shippou, your safe now..." She whispered. Grasping the small youkai, and placing him on her shoulders, as he grasped her neck, tightly. She nocked a arrow in her bow, aiming at the beast.
She fired the arrow soon becoming a streak of blue power as it struck the demon in the side.
It screetched, whipping its tail out striking her in the side.
Kagome grabbed the fox at the last moment throwing him to the side, as the tail connected with her flesh, getting thrown in to the canyon wall at full force. She cried out in pain, sliding down, falling on her stomach. Her bow falling from her grasp.
"Kagome!?!?!!" Shippou squealed in shock.
"Kagome-chan!!!" Sango yelled from Kirara's back, her Hiraikiotsu poised for attack.
"Lady Kagome!!" Miroku yelled, from the side, his prayer beads, half off his kazanna.
"Kagome!!!" Inu yasha shouted, then his ears twitching angrily.
"Shippou get her out of here now! We'll meet you at the village after we defeat this demon!"
"O..okay..." Shippou said, gulping. as he transformed in to a small pony thing. He pulled an unconcious Kagome on his back, then galloped away quickly.
"uhnn.." Kagome muttered, half in darkness, and moving trees passing by her.
"It's alright Kagome, I'll protect you!!" Shippou said as bravely as possible. Although he was quite scared himself.
Meanwhile back at the canyon....
"HIRAKOTSU!!!" Sango shouted, cutting off the youkai's dangerous stinger, and tail.
"KAZE NO KIZU!!" Inu yasha yelled. The youkai fell, lifeless on the ground. Inu yasha sheathed his sword, walking over to the demon, kicking it.
"Since Lady Kagome said the demon held no Shards, so we have no further buisness here.." He said, sarting to walk in the way torwards the village.
"Houshi-sama, you clean up whats left." Sango said. As she climbed back on Kirara, looking around before taking after Inu yasha."
Miroku nodded, unwrapping his hand shouting,
"KAZAANA!!!" The remains of the demon instantly dissapeared in to his air void.
He started after them, all intent on seeing how Kagome was doing, except Inu yasha who wore one of a scowl.
...................................
So she was hurt during a battle..?" Keade asked. Shippou nodded, as they both looked down at the girl in bed. She was sweating as if suffering from pain.
"She did take in a lot of poison, but she will survive." She said, when she saw the worried look on the fox's face.
"Un.. huh?" Kagome whispered, as her eyes winced open.
"Are you alright Kagome?" Shippou asked, leaning over the girl. She smiled.
"Of course Shippou... Where... where are the others?"
"They are finishing up the youkai you were fighting. Don't worry Kagome, just rest." Keade ushered her. She laughed slightly, closing her eyes.
Suddenly they all heard a scream, followed by a loud crashing.
Everyone's eyes went wide in fear as Keade grabbed her bow and arrows.
The flap to hut ripped open and they all gasped.
"In-Inuyasha..?" Keade asked. Kagome quickly sat up, ignoring the pain in her side.
Keade didn't relax, as they all took in the sight. His claws were covered in red, dripping blood, as his eyes stared coldly at all of them. He smirked.
"What are you going to do miko? Kill... ME??!!?" He yelled, slashing at Keade, cutting her shoulder.
"What are you doing?!?" Shippou cried in anguish. He merely kicked the small child in to the wall.
"I'm not interested in you fox. I only came to get rid of this worthless wench. She can't even fight a decent battle without hurting herself.." He growled looking hungrily at the scared Kagome.
"In.. Inu yasha... SIT!!" She said. Nothing happened. His smirk widened.
"Why is nothing happening?" She whispered.
"Easy really... I cut a deal with Naraku. He took away those annoying prayer beads, if I killed you. I even get Kikyou in the bargain.."
"What..? Why.. Why Inu yasha!!??!" She screamed, tears starting to spill from her eyes, at all the pain the last two sentences had hurt her.
"Get ready too DIE WENCH!!!!!" He shouted, his claws pointed at her as she stared at him helplessly.
"You.. you.. betrayed me... Inu yasha..." Her lips trembled, as her eyes took on a empty lifeless ones.
He was inches away, Kagome's life about to be taken away when.."
"FOXFIRE!!" Shippou yelled, the blaze blocking Inu yasha's attack from Kagome.
"Sh.. Shippou.." Kagome whispered.
"Kagome get out of here! I promised I'd protect you, now go!!!!" He yelled bravely. Kagome looked at the fox.
"You think you can take me fox? Try it!"
"I will!!... for Kagome's sake!" The fox yelled launching himself at the fox.
Kagome still in her daze, followed the fox's commands and started towards the door. Inu yasha threw the fox to the side, jumping at Kagome, when a arrow struck him in the chest.
"Keade.." Kagome realized.
"Get out of here child, he's only after you! Go to the well now!" She shouted. Shippou joined the old miko on her shoulder.
Kagome stared at the people she loved, willing to defend her with their lives.
"Thank you..." She whispered, turning and stumbling out of the hut, running at full force in to the forest. She was wearing a miko's outfit, Keade must had dressed her in while she was unconcious. The pants whipped loosely around legs as she ran.
She had to hurry..
unless he took more innocent lives....
Why had he even done this....
She kept running even after she heard steps behind her coming at a unatural speed.
"Ku, ku, kuu.... Kagome get back here, we aren't done here yet!!" Inu yasha yelled.
She gasped. If he was following her..
that meant.. Keade and Shippou are...
no.....
She tripped on a tree root, she skidded in the dirt, stopping in to a clearing. She sat up on her knees, tears falling from her cheeks.
"no..no no... everything is wrong with this.." She sobbed. She crawled to her feet, taking a few steps before, falling against the well, crying whole heartedly.. or what was left of it..
"Oi.. Kagome.." Inu yasha's voice called. He came in to the clearing, Sango and Miroku behind him. She choked.
They all look stricken at her state,
"Kagome what's wrong?" Sango asked, taking a few steps forward. She didn't answer her. She stared in to Inu yasha's eyes, her emotions clearly showing in her eyes.
Sadness....
regret...
hatred.....
lonliness...
and most of all betrayal.....
"Inu yasha... how.. how could you?" She whispered to him, a tear slipping down her cheek, as she turned her back on him, and jumped in to the well.
She jolted to a stop as a hand gripped her wrist she looked up at him. In to his golden eyes.
"Kagome's what happened?!"
She looked down longingly at the floor of the well.
"I... d...." She started then looking at him in fury she shouted.
"DON'T PLAY INNOCENT INU YASHA!! YOU WEREN'T WHO I THOUGHT YOU WERE!! YOU BETRAYED ME!! GO ON AND KILL ME AND HAVE YOUR PRECIOUS KIKYOU NOW WHILE YOU HAVE THE CHANCE!!!" She yelled through her tears staring at him in contempt. Heloked surpised, but then frowned at her.
"You stupid girl! Get up here right now.." He started pulling her up out of the well, when she whispered.
"Inu yasha don't touch me... let me fall or let me die.."
He stared at her in shock. His grasp loosened, and she fell from his grasp. Falling in to the darkness of the well... never to return.. She closed her eyes.
"Farewell Inu yasha..." She whispered, before being engulfed by blue lights...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A bell rang, and Kagome jumped, her eyes opening.
"huh?" She looked around, students were standing up, collecting there things.
"Oh... class is over.." She yawned. Tossing her English book in hre bag, she walked out of the classroom, heading for the front door. That's right.. She was suppose to meet Kurama at the gate at four. She better hurry. She quickened her pace.
Rubbing her eyes, she stopped at her locker, she picked up a few extra things, slamming it shut afterwards. She hadn't figured out why she had dreamed of that particular memory, but it was sure aggrivating her that she couldn't get it off her mind. Even after these two long months.
She started down the hall waving goodbye to some of her friends, before walking out in to the sun.
