Chapter 5
Shadows
The next day, Kagome told the others (much to InuYasha's disappointment) that she had to go home for a day. She had to go to something called a "dentist appointment". So they headed back to Kaede's village. As they walked, Kagome looked engrossed in thought. Sango came up to walk beside her and decided to ask her about the dream.
"I don't think this is going to work, Sango." Kagome replied simply.
Sango frowned, "Why not?"
"Because last night I had a dream that I was in the far future, where flying hippo's ruled the world."
"What are hippo's? Are they some kind of demon?"
Kagome shook her head, "No, it's an animal; and it doesn't fly."
Sango shrugged, "Maybe we were mistaken. They may have been just simple nightmares, as we thought before."
"Yeah, I think you're right." She said with a nod, "I haven't had any nightmares in a long time. I must have just been overwhelmed, since I'm not used to them."
Miroku came up to them with a smile.
"And what are you two ladies talking about this beautiful day?"
"We're just-"
"HENTAI!!!"
SLAP!
Kagome looked to her right to see that the monk now had a red hand print on his left cheek. Sango huffed, embarrassed; one could almost see the steam come out of her ears.
InuYasha snorted.
"Pervert." He muttered.
~*~*~*~*~*~
"I'll see you guys tomorrow!"
"Bye Kagome!" Shippo said mournfully, Kagome hugged him close and them put him back down on the soft grass. She waved to the others and swung her legs over the edge of the well and jumped in.
"There she goes again." Sango sighed.
"I will go see if Lady Kaede needs assistance with anything." Miroku said, heading toward the village. Sango picked Shippo up and headed back as well. InuYasha however, stayed by the well for a few minutes. He looked down into it and sighed.
'She'll be back tomorrow. It's only one day. Besides, she's safe in her time.'
With that he got up and headed back to the village to find his friends.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Kagome emerged from the well and went straight to her house.
"Hello? I'm home!"
No one answered her so she put her backpack down and proceeded to look around. On the kitchen table was a note, which read.
'Kagome, if you are reading this then that means that you are home for your dentist appointment, which was just rescheduled for next Tuesday. So you don't have to worry about it. Your Grandpa, Souta and I were invited to stay at the Natigaruo's house in the country for the weekend. Hope you have fun and be safe, love you sweetie! Mom.'
Kagome sighed and plopped down in a chair.
'Great, I come home, and I'm home alone.'
She smiled, "Well, I'd better make the best of it!"
With that she set off to go and get changed. Later that night she took a bath, got into her nightgown and went to sleep.
'Those nightmares were really giving me the creeps! I'm glad that's over.' she thought as she her eyes fluttered closed; and within a few minutes, a peaceful sleep took her, leaving the house in silence.
~*~*~*~*
The night was dead still, all but a rustle in the trees.
A shadow among shadows moved toward the house. It crept along the walkway, and up the side of the wall. It jumped up to Kagome's window and opened it.
Kagome was resting peacefully when she felt something nearby. Her eyes shot open and she sat up in her bed. Her curtains billowed, her window having been opened. Kagome frowned, got up and looked out it.
"InuYasha?" she whispered, knowing that the hanyou had a habit of coming to her time, before she was ready to go back.
Seeing no one, she shrugged and closed the window.
"Must have been Buyo." She said, but she frowned anyway.
'That doesn't make any sense! Buyo went with Souta!'
She felt a presence behind her and spun around.
No one was there.
Kagome put her hand over the jewel on her neck; she had a bad feeling about this.
Suddenly, a hand reached around her head and covered her mouth, stifling her scream. Another arm wrapped itself around her waist, holding her to its body. She struggled for a few seconds before her head began to swim. She immediately knew it was some sort of sleeping herb on the cloth that covered her mouth and nose. Her conscious mind began to fade. fear swept through her.
'InuYasha.'
~*~*~*~*~*~
InuYasha couldn't get to sleep. His mind kept wandering to Kagome. He sighed and got up. Maybe a walk would do him some good. He stepped out of the hut and took a deep breath of the cool night air.
'Kagome.'
He walked through the woods, until he stumbled upon the tree he had been pinned to for fifty years, the God-Tree. He stopped and looked at it for a moment.
'Kikyo pinned me to this tree over fifty years ago.' He thought sadly, 'Naraku pitted us against one another, and tricked us into thinking we betrayed each other.'
Then something else popped into his mind.
'But if that had not happened. I would have never met Kagome. Even from the beginning she tried to befriend me.' He smiled slightly, 'She succeeded too.'
An unpleasant feeling swept over him, the same feeling he always got when Kagome wasn't near. Near enough for him to protect her.
'I-I don't know what I would do if anything ever happened to her.'

HAHAHA!!! CLIFFY! Or, at least, I think that's considered one. let me think.hmmmmmmm.
Miroku: While she's thinking, let me take this opportunity to say goodbye.
Shippo: What happened to InuYasha and Kagome?
Sango: Well, InuYasha is in the bathroom, throwing up. and Kagome is sitting in that corner over there.
Shippo: What happened? Why is everyone acting so weird?
Miroku: I'm glad you asked!
Sango: I'm glad you won't answer! You're version isn't always the right one. Pervert.
Shippo: Don't forget to write us! At.*looks at flash card* oh! denrawhite@yahoo.com see you later!
