Chapter One- Ice Angel.
*****
Inuyasha! No! Stop please.. come back!
Kagome screamed into the darkness but he didnt stop, didnt even seem to hear her for he just kept walking, slowly fading from her view. She tried to run after him, but her legs wouldnt move and her feet seemed to be glued to the ground. All she could do was watch in horror with wide eyes as he walked away from her. He disappeared and she was left alone. In the consuming darkness that surrounded her, engulfed her. To thick to see through, to make anything out. The glinting light of a tear rolled down her cheek and fell to the ground. It didnt evaporate, it didnt disappear, it started to glow. Her tear shinned with a bright blinding white light that swirled in the darkness, and she held a hand in front of her eyes to shield them. All to quickly the light faded and when she removed her hand she was no longer in the dark. She was in a forest. A beautiful green forest. She could hear running water near bye and her mouth became dry suddenly. She realized how thirsty she had been in the darkness. Slowly she began to walk to the sound, it growing louder and louder with every step.
Where am i?
Kagome wondered as she saw everything around her. It was a beautiful forest, with dew stained leafs.
Early morning.
She decided. But where was she. The sound of running water echoed in her ears. Her mouth began to water a little as she pushed back the leafs to see a beautiful waterfall. It was about twenty-five feet tall with pure glistening water that poured from a stream, fell down the front, and into a little lake at the bottom. She started to rush forward when a blur of red caught her eye.
Inuyasha?
She stopped and looked around. Nothing in sight. Her eyes narrowed in the sunlight and she looked into the distance. Again she saw a blur of red. A smile widened on her face as she thought it would be Inuyasha. She wanted to see him, stare into his golden inu eyes. The fact that he was a hanyou never bothered her, she didnt think of him as a monster or a killer. He was just Inuyasha to her. A stubborn hot headed jealous jerk. But only at times. There was times when he was sweet and he was always rescuing her. She didnt know what she would do within him. She forgot about her thirst and rushed forward, running after the red she saw.
Inuyasha, its me. Wait up.
She screamed but soon realized it was only in her head. She almost stopped, but knew if she did that she would loose him. She would question her voice later. So she kept running. She ran through the depth of the forest, scraping her clothes on the branches. Her clothes were torn and little trails of blood leaked from shallow wounds, but she didnt stop. She didnt think she could even if she wanted to. She was moving so fast. Finally she came to a halt, falling over a tree root onto her face.
Ow...
She slowly began to rise, and her gaze focused in front of her to the color red.
Inuyasha...
She lifted to her feet, feeling weighed down suddenly but paying it no mind. She wanted to see him. She walked ahead and moved the remaining branch from her view. What she saw made her stop dead. It was him. It was Inuyasha. He had a smile on his face and his eyes were somewhat soft. He was holding onto something protectively, his arms gripped firmly on the kimono sleeves. Kagome forced herself to look, though she knew who it was, at the person he was looking at. Her voice caught in her throat and her eyes widened. Standing there in front of Inuyasha, with long black hair tied in a white ribbon, blowing in front of her face, her kimono blowing slightly in the light breeze, staring back at Inuyasha with love in her eyes was....
Kikyou....
Kagome said the name in her mind over and over again. This had to be a nightmare. Kikyou was dead and hated Inuyasha. But she also loved him, Kagome knew it. She could tell. Her and Kikyou were once one before the witch revived her and she took the main part of her soul. Made from ashes and grave side soil. She was once with the earth. Made of dirt and fragile, yet powerful at the same time. But this was not the Kikyou she knew, the Kikyou she had been confronted by and shot at. Not the Kikyou that had tried to take Inuyasha to hell with her and bound Kagome to a tree to watch as they kissed. To feel her heart break in her chest and tears threaten her eyes. No, this was the real Kikyou. The alive Kikyou. The one that Inuyasha fell in love with, the one that loved him back and not hated him. The blood and flesh of the priestess. Filled with love and not hate as she looked upon the world. Yet bound by the duty of protecting the Shikon no tama from youkais. And once from Inuyasha himself. And though she looked at Inuyasha in love, in that brief moment Kagome also saw sadness. And to her horror Kagome stood by and watched as Inuyasha and Kikyou kissed, feeling her soul shatter and her heart break.
No, this has to be a nightmare......
Kagome said within her mind.
A nightmare. A nightmare. This cant be real. No. Inuyasha wouldnt do this to me.
And then it faded back to the darkness which she started in. Back into the solitude that ate away at her. Alone again.
Inuyasha....
She didnt cry, she couldnt. Her tears surfaced but didnt fall.
Inuyasha.......
Kagome opened her eyes, sweat beading down her forehead. She felt the breath of the little kitsune beside her. The heavy scent of sleep in it. The moon was high in the sky and shinning over them. Sango lay, not to far away with Kirara at her head, snuggling. She didnt see Inuyasha and she thought about what she had dreamed. Had it been real? Could Inuyasha be with her now? She shook her head. No. In her dream Kikyou had been alive. She had been real. Not made of clay and her skin cold to touch and her eyes filled with hate. She had been alive. She had been happy with Inuyasha but still saddened by the burden of the Shikon no tama. She set up, careful not to wake Shippou who just rolled over and started snoring. She looked up and stared at the sky dotted with stars above her.
Where is Inuyasha?
Slowly she pulled the covers from her and stared for a moment at the dieing amber that had once been a warm fire. She placed a hand over the few shards on her neck. Kikyou had taken the rest, that memory stuck in her head. Kikyou had shot at her with her arrow, missed on purpose as not to kill her. But to torment her with the roots of the plant. Making her see her and Inuyasha happy together. Just like in her dream. She had had this dream a few times but this time it seemed so...real, that she had to question if it was or not. No, it couldnt be real. It couldnt. It had been her imagination was all. Thats all it had to be. Kagome tried to convince herself. She sighed.
Yes, that was all it was. Just a dream in the night.
She slowly rose to her feet.
But just to make sure.....
She didnt see Inuyasha anywhere, and started to worry. Where had he gone to? She took a glance to see if anyway had woken up from her movement. No, everyone was sleeping. Slowly she made her way into the forest, looking around. She kept a hand tightly on her bow and arrows, not wanting to be attacked. She found what she was looking for in a clearing. There was Inuyasha, sitting in the middle of it with his eyes closed and his sword in his lap. She sighed.
What was i thinking? Kikyou and Inuyasha are over, i know that....
She thought for a moment.
.....Dont i?
She shook her head. No, she didnt know. She knew Inuyasha still had feeling for her. It was all too confusing and she didnt want to think about it right now. She knew one thing. Inuyasha was protecting her. And that was all she cared about at this moment. She didnt want to think about what would happen when all the shards were found or if Kikyou showed up again. She just wanted to enjoy the time she had here in the feudal era with Inuyasha. She walked to Inuyasha, careful not to make any noises. She didnt want to startle him. But had she been careful or noisy it didnt matter. Inuyasha knew she was there, from the moment she was a few feet from the clearing. He could pick up her scent. Her sweet pleasing scent. He opened an eye as she set down next to him and stared up at the sky.
"What are you doing awake?"
Inuyasha asked, probably not sounding like he wanted to because he saw her tense at his tone. He sighed, remembering the fight they had had a few days ago. There was still tension between them, but only a little. Kagome smiled and looked at him with soft eyes then up at the sky.
"Beautiful stars..."
She muttered softly and Inuyasha looked up as well. He nodded his head in silent agreement. Kagome opened her mouth to speak again but sighed. No, she had nothing to say at the moment. Silence.
Just like the darkness....
She said as she remembered her dream. It was silence in the dark and she hated it. She wanted to make a conversation, anything to break this silence. Inuyasha didnt seem to be making any effort to start one so Kagome sighed a little louder then she meant to and it caught Inuyasha's attention.
"Anything wrong Kagome?"
He asked in a soft tone. Startled a bit she looked at him, remembering her dream.
It was just a dream!
She smiled and shook her head.
"No, nothings wrong."
She said as she rose to her feet and Inuyasha muffled a sigh of his own.
Was she still mad at him?
He hated the thought of her being mad at him. But as he looked up at her and saw her looking at him, it wasnt anger in her gaze, it was something else. But what?
Kagome stared at him, into his golden Inu eyes and sighed. Before she could say anything Inuyasha jumped up and pushed her down to the ground, her face hitting the dirt. Anger flared within her and she lifted her head, his hand still on it.
"What are you doing!"
She yelled angrily.
"Quiet...."
Inuyasha said in a low demanding tone. Kagome tensed. She looked around.
"I sense a Shikon shard..."
"Theres a youkai nearby..."
Inuyasha muttered under his breath and grabbed his sword, standing up slowly. " Kagome...get away from here."
He said as he unsheathed the Tetsusaiga.
"Who ever you are, come out now!"
He yelled in a demanding voice that startled Kagome. She rose to her feet and clutched the bow and arrow in her hands.
"Its close....its here."
Kagome said in a hushed voice to Inuyasha. From the trees above them came something pure and white. Inuyasha wrapped an arm around Kagome and jumped into the air. Kagome dropped her bow and arrows and clutched Inuyasha's kimono shirt tightly, closing her eyes as they landed on the ground. A laugh echoed out as a shadow appeared on the end of a branch, in a cloak. Long black hair flowing from the hood and a hand sticking out as a stream of white ice came from the fingertips. Inuyasha jumped back grabbing Kagome with him.
"Who are you?!"
Inuyasha demanded, standing in a protective stance in front of Kagome. The figure removed the hood from its head to reveal its face. It was female. She had long wavy black hair with golden streaks through it. Her face was pale and angelic, with a twisted smile on it. She wore a black cloak that blowed in the light breeze and her eyes were a dark blue color that glowed evilly as she looked upon them. Two blue streaks were on each of her cheeks with a star in the middle of her forehead.
"Give me the Shikon shards."
She said in a demanding tone.
"Or next time my ice attack wont miss...." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
