Chapter 6: Dreams for Another
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Inuyasha stood in the vast night air. The cold stung his every move. He wanted to run after Kagome and hold her telling her that it didn't have to be that way that he could stay with her, but it would have been a lie. Inuyasha sat back down and looked at the imprint the grass made after Kagome had left. He smiled inwardly but a frown remained plastered to his face. He knew that he couldn't be with her because it would be so unfair and it would mean that he'd have to break a promise to his first love.
"It's for the best..." Inuyasha sighed and fell on his back ignoring the single tear sliding down his cheek.
'I wish it didn't have to be this way...' Inuyasha thought as he looked at the moon that had seen the face from his beloved that he had not dared.
Meanwhile Kagome packed her things panting. She had thrown everything she owned into the yellow school bag that she was so fond of. Tears slipped down her fragile face and she stubbornly pushed them away.
'I won't give in this time. He belongs with her and I belong...I belong...where do I belong now? Inuyasha was my everything and yet, here I am with nothing. Why did I have to let it end that way? Sure, I could take an argument but he didn't say anything. I just ran like the coward I am...why would he want me around? I would only be in his way. I can't believe I am such a wimp! What am I so afraid of? Why do I always have to hide? Why did I tell him my feelings...it would have been better with him not knowing... am I always such a burden?' Kagome thought as she walked slowly to the Bone Eater's well.
Inuyasha stood up and began to walk but didn't understand why and where he was going. He looked at his surroundings and found himself at the well looking down into the black nothingness it held.
"I don't want you to leave but I don't want you to stay. Just go and don't come back...do you hear me? I DON'T EVER WANT TO SEE YOUR FACE AGAIN!" Inuyasha yelled not noticing that she hadn't gone down the well until he heard soft cries radiating the silent nights air.
"You hate me? You want me gone? I should have figured this much. It doesn't matter though...I hate it here. I hate being with you while you waste your life away for Kikyou. You are such a stupid inu! I wish I had never met you and never loved you like I do! I wish that you were already gone to hell so that you would stop moping around about how you promised to protect your precious Kikyou....well, let me refresh your memory...you promised the same to me! I HATE YOU FOR BEING NEAR ME AND LOVING HER!" Kagome yelled out and before anyone knew what had happened the jewel shard shown with an eerie purple light.
"Kagome..."
"Don't come near me you bastard!"
"Fine! Why should I you only care about yourself anyways!"
"How can you say that?! I have been here with you helping you find your stupid shards so that you can be with your stupid dead girlfriend for the rest of eternity! I have a life on the other side of that well and I chose to be with you knowing the outcome of my hearts fate! How dare you think me as selfish!"
The Shikon no Tama grew more powerful with the odd light and before anyone had a chance to get a word in both Inuyasha and the young miko were standing in pitch black. Inuyasha looked around him obviously in shock. Kagome just stood there not moving her eyes to a single shadow that the room cast but instead looked onward with hate glared eyes at the dog hanyou. Inuyasha quickly came to face her and finally stopped fidgeting so he was just staring at the miko.
"Where are we?" Inuyasha asked with wonderous treachery.
"You are in my mind Inuyasha..." Kagome stated with an evil grin.
"Your...mind?"
"Yes."
"How did you? How did we get here?"
"The Shikon no Tama."
"It brought us here?"
"Yes. I want you to see what goes on through my mind."
Inuyasha nodded and the black nothingness of the room soon morphed into pictures of Kagome's memories. Inuyasha saw memories of her father, her brother's birth, and other important things about Kagome's life outside of the well, in her time. Then Inuyasha saw the day that they had met. It showed him fighting for her life. It showed him the look he gave her when he was near her. Inuyasha smiled as the images went speeding in Kagome's mind. Then they slowed down and Kagome was in her time, crying. The next four or five were very similar. Inuyasha quickly found out that it was him that had brought her the tears. Then memories of her dreams came flooding but one caught his eye the most. It was the dream Kagome had described. He saw how happy she seemed in her dreams and how hurt see was when her peaceful dream betrayed her. He looked at the young miko and sighed at seeing her. She brought her eyes to rest on the floor so that she wasn't able to see the memories she held. The two now stood looking into each other's eyes before Kagome collapsed onto her knees. Her head spun around and she quietly shook with fear. She looked down at her abdomen to see it covered with heavy amounts of blood. She winced at the pain and a small giggle was heard from the young girl. Inuyasha looked up to her and shock was evident in his features. She looked up at him with a smile and reached out for his hand. She soon found it and gripped on tightly for her fear was growing stronger. Inuyasha began to cry still not understanding what caused the wound in that dark place.
"Inuyasha..." Kagome panted out with a small grin.
"Shh... don't speak. You have to save your energy." Inuyasha stated while combing his hands through her soft raven hair.
"But I have to tell you..."
"Please don't speak, my love."
"Your love?"
"Yea. I love you Kagome."
"Wake up"
"What?"
"Wake up!"
Shortly after she let her last breath pass through her body. Her hand seemed to snake it's way out of his and onto the hard ground of feudal Japan.

Inuyasha's eyes snapped open to see Kagome standing over him. She had tears welling up in her beautiful eyes. Inuyasha quickly grabbed on to her and hugged her with the might that he knew he could hug her without hurting her petite features.
"Thank all the stars in the sky that you are okay." Inuyasha said as Kagome's shocked face grew into a blushing smile.
"Why wouldn't I?" Kagome asked with a confused look.
"In my dream you were dead...Uh...why are you crying?"
"You wouldn't wake up, you scared me."
"I'm sorry Kagome."
"Just promise that it won't happen again."
"It is about time that you woke up. You had Kagome bawling like a two year old child." Miroku confirmed as he stepped inside the room that Inuyasha had occupied.
"I didn't mean to!" Inuyasha barked.
"It is odd..."
"What?"
"You and Lady Kagome had dreams, obviously about eachother, that it took what seemed a life time to wake you up from. Maybe they are connected."
"You think? Who could do something like that?"
"I think I know..." Sango interrupted as she too walked into the small room.
"You do?" Miroku asked shocked.
"Yea. I met her along the road...her name is Kanga."
"Kanga? What kind of name is that?"
"A wolf name..."
"I don't get it. Who is she and why is she doing this to Kagome and Inuyasha?"
"She is Kouga's older half sister."
"Kouga's sister? I didn't know he had a sister."
"He doesn't like to talk about it because she his half sister and he is ashamed of her."
"Is she a hanyou like Inuyasha?"
"No, she is all the way demon...it is just that she isn't all wolf demon...."
"She isn't? What is she?"
"Her mother was a special kind of demon who was gifted in dreams and could in a way weave them to her will. When Kouga's father met her mother he was instantly attracted and they soon had Kanga. When Kanga's mother died her father left and met another wolf demon and had Kouga. Because she isn't all wolf her brother, Kouga, hates her but not all as much as he lets on. In fact I met her two days ago."
"Two days ago? When we were by Kouga's cave?"
"Yes. She was staying with him for a little while. He may hate her but she is his sister."
"But that still doesn't explain why she is doing this."
"I kind of asked her to weave a dream to show them what they are most afraid of."
Inuyasha and Kagome both turned a light scarlet at realizing that if what Sango was saying was true that their greatest fear would be losing eachother.
"Well, how about we go pay a visit to Kanga and Kouga? Then we can get these terrible dreams to stop." Kagome pursued vigorously.
"Yea, okay." Everyone said in unison except Shippou who's stomach growled.
"Shippou? Do you not want to go? How about you stay with Kaeda?" Kagome asked as she shuffled the little fox demon's hair.
"But mom..."
"What?"
"I want to go with you."
"You sure? I think your stomach disagrees. Just stay here and next time I'll bring you extra chocolate."
"Promise?"
"Promise."
"Okay."
The little fox demon quickly ran into Kaeda's hut and waved goodbye to his friends and 'adopted' mother. After about a day's journey they reached Kouga's cave. Kouga, noticing Kagome's scent, quickly went outside to greet his unexpected visitors.
"Well if it isn't dog turd and my beautiful mate Kagome." Kouga said as he walked over to Kagome and gave her a quick kiss on the hand.
"Hey! Leave Kagome alone! Stupid wolf demon, besides we have business..." Inuyasha growled at the all too flirty wolf demon.
"Aww, are you jealous?"
"No. We came to see your sister Kanga."
"Kanga? How did you know about her?"
"Sango told us. Look all we want is to get her to stop making Kagome and me have these dreams about eachother dying."
"Oh...KANGA!"
A beautiful young female demon walked out into the sun. Her light brown hair played in the sun's rays and her dark green eyes glistened. She smiled slightly at seeing the visitors and a brown tail whipped around her legs. She was wearing a tight tan and white shirt that exposed her midriff followed by a matching short skirt. She shifted her head a little and let her ears stand alert.
"Yes? I see we have company." Kanga said as a blush painted over her cheeks at seeing Inuyasha.
"Yea. So what. Listen they want you to stop with the dreams..." Kouga said his sister causing her to look at her brother with annoyance.
"As they wish. In fact, how about you all stay for a while? We don't get much company and it is getting really dull with B.W. here."
"SHUT UP KANGA!"
"B.W.?" Kagome asked irrelevant to Kouga's embarrassment.
"It means bed wetter. Of course Kouga hasn't down it in nearly 13 years but he is bound to slip up sometime..."
"I told you to SHUT UP!!!!"
"Well, it isn't my fault that you had such a weak bladder."
"Stupid half demons..."
"HEY!" Kanga and Inuyasha yelled out at the wolf demon before their gaze landed on eachother.
"You are a half demon?" Kanga asked Inuyasha in shock.
"Yea...so?" Inuyasha stated with a slight blush.
Kouga quickly saw a few sparks show between the two and figured that if he could get Kanga and Inuyasha to spend enough time with eachother then Kagome would be his for the taking.
"Oh, well, why don't you all stay for a few days." Kouga said with an reassuring smile.
"Hey! If you are planning to try anything with Kagome get over it because no one as low as you are going to have her as a mate! She deserves better then some wolf scum like you." Inuyasha shouted furiously.
"Don't worry Inuyasha. I'm sure he won't do anything." Kagome stated and walked inside the cave followed by everyone else.
