Chapter 2 : Sleep Tight Don't Let The Bed Bugs Bite
Night had crept upon the group unexpectedly. The once warm and soothing air turned into an icy bitterness that bit into Kagome's skin sharply. She trembled uncontrollably, her veins begging for warmth. She could feel her hair becoming crispy and limp, losing its fresh and bounciness. The fire, a few feet in front of her, provided no reassurance.
Shippo lied in Kagome's lap, his breath turning into a smoky screen in the air. His puffy little tail twitched annoyingly for a few moments then was still.
He's asleep. I wonder what Inu Yasha's thinking. Who was that guy today? Does he know that we have the Shikon Jewel? He did look a lot like Sesshomaru, but that wasn't him I know it. But he did go to some trouble to get the Tetsuiaga away from Inu Yasha. I wonder who he is.
"Do you know who that was today, Inu Yasha?" Kagome asked, trying to take her mind of the freezing feeling that was finally overpowering her.
"How am I supposed to know?" Inu Yasha replied rudely, noticing Kagome's sudden shivers. Should he do something? No. If she had a problem it was hers to deal with.
"I don't know. I just thought that you two might have some sort of connection, since he seemed to know something about the Tetsuiaga. What do you think?"
"I don't think that that thing was real. I don't know, but I sensed something weird about him."
"Maybe he was being controlled?" she offered.
"Hm. Maybe. All I know is that he was too easy to be an opponent that has any real way of threatening us. If we get more trouble from him, I'll deal with him," he snorted.
That Inu Yasha is always so confident, too confident If only Miroku was here to put him in his place. I'm just too tired-
"WHERE'S MIRKOU & SANGO? I can't believe we forgot about them!! Inu Yasha let's go look for them!!" Kagome jumped up and screamed, remembering of her friends' early disappearance.
"Hm?"
Shippo bounced off her lap onto the grass. He rolled until he hit himself up against a log, remarkably staying asleep.
Kagome stayed standing up. The cold started to affect her. She was too far from the fire. It was as cold as ice outside. Why was it all of a sudden so cold? Miroku would have had them stay in a temple if he would've been there. Where were he and Sango? They might be dying right now, because of the cold, they might already be dead. She had to go find them now before it was too late, unless it already was too late.
She started towards the woods. She moved a step forward. When her foot touched the ground she felt a surge go up her leg. He leg froze. It was too cold; too cold for her to be walking around in her small school uniform.
It was horrible! She couldn't stand it anymore! The freezing weather was stabbing at her body unmercifully. It continued and showed no signs of stopping.
"Ah!" Kagome sputtered. The words could barely come out her lips were so frozen.
The wind was getting faster. Everything was sideways moving, moving a great speed. Where was everything going? Was the ground getting closer? Was Inu Yasha going to be there to save her?
Inu Yasha jumped up and grabbed Kagome, seconds before she reached the ground. Why had she fallen over like that? He looked closely at her face it was oddly pale, a lot different from her usually soft, and moisturized face. He shook her ferociously. She wasn't waking up! There was something wrong with her. He grasped her limp hand. It was ice cold!
For a youkai this kinda day was like a 0 degree day, which to Inu Yasha wasn't too cold. Besides he was sitting close to the fire. Unlike the stupid school girl who was roaming about.
He sat back in the same spot where he was before; Kagome was lying in his lap.
Her breath signaled that she was most definitely asleep. The soothing motion of her chest slightly lifting and moving downwards, made him get unusually hot. He watched her. She was pretty, especially since most of the colour of her face was returning. Yes she was beautiful. But not as beautiful as Kikyo. That was definite.
He drifted to sleep with thoughts of Kikyo in his mind.
********************************************
Kagome woke up with a start. It was morning. Or was it the afternoon, already? She turned her head to right. The fire was burnt out, but still smoking a little bit.
She looked around her, no-one. She was confused. Did they leave her? Oh no! She had to look for Miroku and Sango! She had to find them! Maybe that was where Inu Yasha went, maybe not.
Where could Inu Yasha have gone? Wait I don't remember ever falling asleep. What happened last night? I think I remember. I collapsed, because of the cold. Did Inu Yasha help me? I think he did. No! I must've been dreaming. She started walking into the woods, away from the rocky hill.
The forest was silent. It was odd that it was this way and it gave Kagome the shivers.
"Shippo!? MYOUGA!? Inu Yasha!?" she called. "Well at least there's no trouble. I would've found Myouga around by now, if there was. But I can never be too sure. MYOUGA!!"
She walked through the woods and continued calling for her friends. As she went deeper and deeper the forest got damper. She had gotten so far that the water was up to her knees. There was a smell of blood in the air. She followed the smell, in fear that one of her friends was in trouble (particularly Inu Yasha).
The scent led her to a small circle of shrubs. In the middle of it was Sango and Miroku!!! What was wrong with them? Why were they just lying there? Blood smeared the area. It covered mostly Miroku and Sango's dead bodies. They lied there, still, wrapped in a scarlet blanket. Their hands clasped one another's. They were dead, there was no doubt about it.
A steady blood drip could be heard from where Kagome was standing. It was as clear as her pulse at that moment. It reeked of rotting flesh and decomposition. How long were they laying there? A few harmless cockroaches scurried out from inside their kimonos, their mouths smeared with the blood and flesh of the two lovers. They left the area, seeing as they had had their fill of them.
Kagome screamed at the sight she had just witnessed. Were the others dead and in this state aswell? She couldn't bear the thought! She had to get out of there, to find her other friends and before she vomited all over herself.
She found herself running in circles, running past the same dark trees over an over again. The forest had noticeably changed. There was no longer sunlight. A dark cloud hung overhead. Kagome was lost.
She looked in every direction, searching desperately for some sort of indication of where to go for safety. She looked round and round until.
"The well!" she screamed with a sigh of relief. It was her only escape route the only hatch to a place where she didn't feel that her life was in any way threatened.
"Kagome, is that your name?" questioned a voice in the short distance. Kagome stopped running. The voice sounded disturbingly familiar. Without using discretion she went on her instincts.
"Inu Yasha!" She turned on her heel and closed her eyes tightly and embraced the man she had been looking for, for refuge. He was here to save, just as he had been the countless other times. "I thought you were dead like Miroku and Sango. Oh." She began to sob harshly. "They're dead, they're dead!"
His eyes widened with surprise as her embrace tightened. She was so warm and innocent. Her arms cuddled his body and her fingers made little movements to show her love and concern. She moved away and looked up at him.
The Sesshomaru look-alike was standing in her midst, watching her curiously, a look of longing in his eyes. She had given him such a meaningful embrace. She had shown her love to a man that killed some of her best friends! She could never forgive him.
Anger, hatred and fright was clearly written all over her face. How dare he, this person she didn't even know!? That reminded her of something.
"Who are you?" she said angrily. The demon lunged at her, with no mercy in his eyes. He meant nothing but to kill her, to kill this human woman who had spoken so disrespectfully to a youkai, such as himself. She would pay.
In fear Kagome fell backwards. She tightened all her muscles, preparing for the impact. Certain death awaited her, she knew her time had come. But she kept falling and falling, it didn't end. Then she remembered, she was falling through the well!
A blurry image of the killer stood on top of the well, looking down at Kagome ruthlessly.
"My name is Tajikana, remember that."
"Ahhh!!!" Kagome woke up with a start. It was morning. Or was it the afternoon, already? She turned her head to right. The fire was burnt out, but still smoking a little bit. Inu Yasha stood directly above her. Myouga was leaping on the fire ashes and Shippo was going through Kagome's things, again.
It was a dream, only a dream. I thought you were all dead. I'm so happy you're not.
She turned to Inu Yasha. "What are you looking at?" he mocked.
"Hmph! Is that the way you talk to someone who just woke up? Here Inu Yasha 'sit' down."
"Ow. What was that for we waited for you until you woke up and that's what I get!" he screamed.
"Kagome, you should rest a bit more, for you had quite an accident last night," in sighted Myouga.
"You were awake when that happened!?" in quested Inu Yasha, with a tone of embarrassment in his voice.
"Why what happened?" asked Shippo, hoping that this time the story wasn't going to be kept away from him, because of his age.
"DROP IT!" shouted Inu Yasha, trying to change the subject as best he could.
"Why don't we begin our search for master Myouga and Sango when Kagome is finished resting, ah?" interrupted Myouga, seeing how desperate Inu Yasha was to not let anyone know about the events of the night before.
"I think it's a great idea!" agreed Kagome, although she did want to know what had happened last night, but thought that finding her friends was more important. So they gathered their things and began to walk, in hopes that soon the mystery of their friends' disappearance would be solved.
"Aw, I never get to know anything. Always when you're a little older, when you're a little bigge, blah, blah, blah," Shippo whined.
"Oh shutup!" ordered Inu Yasha and smacked the fox over the head.
