Chapter 3: A Dream of Reality
"Mama?" Kagome ran into the house, happy to be home.
"Kagome! We're in the kitchen!" her mother called back.
Kagome ran to see her family but stopped in the doorway. There stood.herself. 'Is that Kikyo?...No! That's me!' She watched in horror as the double killed her family in front of her.
"NO!" Kagome screamed, but found that she was unable to move. The look alike turned and smiled cruelly at her, then slowly changed into Kikyo before her eyes.
"All that is your is really mine!" She yelled at Kagome, "In the end, it is YOU who shall be dead to the world- with no one ever even missing you!"
Kagome turned to run but again her legs were frozen in place. A figure approached Kikyo from the shadows behind her. As she watched, Kagome saw that it was Inu Yasha. "Please Inu Yasha! Help me! She-"
"Feh, why would I help you, wench!" Inu Yasha growled at her as his eyes flashed with anger. He wrapped an arm around Kikyo.
"Why don't you finish her off, Inu Yasha?"
Inu Yasha smirked and laughed, "Sure, why let you have all the fun," and stepped towards Kagome.
"No Inu Yasha! Please!" Kagome cried, beginning that this wasn't true.
Inu Yasha paused, looking at Kagome with pure hatred in his eyes.
"Why are you stopping? Hurry up and get rid of her! Then we can go to hell together!"
Inu Yasha smiled, "Yes, my love," and stepped towards Kagome again.
"NO!!" Kagome screamed, sitting up in her sleeping bag. She looked around at her surroundings and saw that she was in Kaede's hut.
"Kagome! What's wrong?" Shippo jumped from where he had curled up by her legs.
Kagome felt tears running down her cheeks, "Shippo! How-how did I get back here?"
"Inu Yasha found you at the bottom of the well, and you passed out," Shippo frowned, "He just left now to talk to Kaede.What happened?"
Shippo's question brought back the memories she was trying to block from her mind. A sob caught in her throat. "Oh Shippo!" Kagome cuddled the Kitsune in her arms, "I-"
Inu Yasha burst into the hut just then. He had heard her awaken and her sobs and had ran back to the house. "Kagome! Your awake!" Inu Yasha hurried to her side and stopped himself just before he hugged her. Seeing her in such bad shape had shocked him so much that he was having trouble hiding the secret feelings he usually kept well hid. Instead, he placed a hand on her shoulder, trying to comfort her and trying to keep his distance at the same time.
"What happened in your world Kagome?" Inu Yasha asked cautiously as Miroku and Sango, accompanied by Kirara and Kaede, came into the hut as well. He had to know what had occurred in her time and not only why he could smell the faint smell of blood but also why Kagome was only able to utter Kikyo's name before fainting.
"Inu Yasha- my family.they're all dead!" Kagome's eyes began to water once more as she told her friends what had taken place at her home. She felt Inu Yasha's hand grip her shoulder a little tighter when it came to the part about seeing her own dead body. She decided, almost subconsciously, not to mention Kikyo's threats. Even now in her mourning, she didn't want to seem like she was trying to make Inu Yasha hate his love.
As she ended her story, Inu Yasha had to fight the urge to hold her and try and make her feel better. But at the same time, his guilt overwhelmed him. It was his fault Kikyo had done this to her. If only he would have shut off his feelings to Kikyo, like he did towards Kagome, he could have stopped this before it started.
Sango stepped closer and knelt down to Kagome, wrapping her arms around her in a sisterly fashion, "Oh Kagome.I'm so sorry for your loss. I too know the pain of loosing loved ones." As she comforted her, Kagome tried to keep herself from crying but the pain was too new, too fresh to keep the tears from pouring. As she cried on her friends shoulder, the rest of the group went outside to give her some time to deal with her emotions.
Inu Yasha stared at the darkening night sky. 'Kagome.I'm sorry, I wasn't there for you.'
Miroku stood next to the Hanyou, "Inu Yasha, you know what this means now, right?" Inu Yasha looked briefly at him, then at the ground. "Kagome probably won't be able to go home anymore, not without sneaking over there. That world now believes she's dead."
Inu Yasha winced at those words. Kagome, dead now to her own world.
"Inu Yasha," Kaede called, walking up to them, "I know that Kikyo is my sister and your- er, first love but you cannot let this act go unpunished."
Inu Yasha glared at her. "You think I don't know that!" With that, Inu Yasha took to the woods, to find a tree to sleep in for the night. He knew what had to be done. But first he needed to talk to Kagome. He felt there was something she wasn't telling them.
Meanwhile, Kagome had regained her composure, "Thank you Sango, for everything. If you could please, I need some time to be alone and think." Grudgingly her friends agreed. Shippo went to sleep by Sango and Kirara instead of his usual sleeping spot atop Kagome. After a few moments, Miroku, followed by Kaede, joined their sleeping comrades.
Once she sensed everyone was asleep, Kagome silently rose from her sleeping spot and exited the hut. Walking a little into the woods, she sat next to a tree and, looking into the night's sky, sighed. A single tear fell from her eye. Wiping it away angrily, she wondered how, with all she had cried, she hadn't dried up.
All of a sudden she felt herself being pulled into strong arms and being held in a warm embrace. "Inu Yasha!"
"Kagome," Inu Yasha said quietly, his voice laced with sadness and guilt, "I'm so sorry."
That's it for now! Please R and R!
