CHAPTER TWO: People in her Dreams
During dinner, Kagome told her mother about the "outing" she had
scheduled with InuYasha for the morning and despite Souta's constant
giggling and her Grandpa's also constant objections of going into
public with a hanyou, Midori consented and sent Souta and Grandpa to
bed.
Kagome found this quite funny and couldn't help but laugh, Midori as
well.After Midori and Kagome had finished their laughing fit, Kagome
bid her mother good night and ran up the stairs and opened the door to
the room she had claimed as her own. It didn't look quite as she had
pictured it would but, Kagome decided it would be just fine. She
waltzed over to the large window on the far wall, she then remembered
why she had chosen this room it had a small balcony with a tree right
next to it, perfect for 'escapes'.
She calmly opened the glass door (Which was basically just a window
with a latch and handle) and stepped onto the small, empty cement
balcony. Little did she know, she was being watched. not by one, by
two?
Miroku stared at her from the other side of the street. "She's pretty,
isn't she?" he said, his eyes glazing over. Sango slapped him on the
head, "Baka! I'm right here!" Miroku and Sango proceeded to get into a
very loud argument. (Kagome thought they were cats) ".Yea. She is."
The fighting immediately stopped, "WHAT?" the quarreling couple said
when they heard InuYasha speaking in a gentle tone he had only used
once before.
InuYasha looked over at his astonished friends and became a little
confused, "What are you both staring at?" the two regained their
composure and Miroku snickered. Slowly, Miroku's snicker turned into
rolling laughter. Sango ignored her boyfriend and sauntered over to
her half-demon friend and smiled, "You think she's lovely, you want to
hug her." Sango kept singing as InuYasha turned the corner and slammed
the front door close. ".Good one Sango" Miroku said as he crossed his
arms, Sango ignored him and kept singing.
Kagome had changed and had gotten into bed. She was so tired; she
didn't even turn her lights off; or her music for that matter. Her
eyes slowly closed and she drifted into a dreamy sleep.
She dreamt of Sengoku Jidai, she saw familiar faces. Such as Sango,
Miroku, InuYasha (much to her displeasure), Souta's new friend Shippou
and her English teacher from her old school, Kaede. Then she saw
something that disturbed her greatly. Two women, both looking much
like herself. She realized one must be her but then. who was the
other? She looked very depressed and she was very pale, she almost
looked. dead.
This almost peaceful setting was ruined when everything went black,
she saw the face of a man, he had long hair and was sporting a
sinister grin. The rest of his face was hidden behind a baboon mask.
Kagome jolted awake, she realized she had left her lights on. She
sighed and turned them off. She walked over to her stereo and changed
the CD that was playing, she skipped a few tracks and found one of her
favorite songs, "Ai no Uta" by Every Little Thing. The music calmed
her and she forgot about the man in the baboon costume and the strange
Miko that looked uncannily like herself.
She slid open the glass door and stepped out onto the balcony again.
The warm autumn air seemed to embrace her in its gentle, strong arms.
Kagome found herself looking at the stars, imagining what her day with
the gorgeous jerk would be like. Kagome felt her face get hot and she
snapped out of the trance the stars had placed her under and covered
her face with her hands. "Why am I blushing!" she thought, "It's not
as if there's anything good about him except his face! . And that
adorable smirk." she blushed again. She then gripped the railing and
said, her face still getting hot, "I'm not gonna fall again!" She
nodded and walked back inside, ".I just won't."
