Chapter 6- The spell is all but broken
*Kagome*
Kagome walked home from school with her friends. It had been two days now since she'd arrived back in her own time. The days almost blurred together in a surreal, dream-like way. It felt so empty to her with out her friends . . . with out Inu Yasha . . .
"How was your date with Hojo the other day," giggled Eri. Kagome turned bright red and looked at her.
"What?"
"Yeah, you two went to the movies. Seemed like you had a great time."
'This isn't right.' Kagome thought to herself as they walked. 'I could not have been dreaming all of that. But, the memories are getting so faint. I have to try and get back there again!'
She took off running for home, yelling something about needing to help her mother to her bewildered friends. She ran all the way to the well house and stopped. Slowly she walked in and towards the well.
'Inu Yasha . . .'
*Inu Yasha*
Inu Yasha stood and went to the door. He was stopped from going out however, when a little girl rushed in followed by an older boy. Both had golden eyes and jet black hair. His jaw fell. Were these...?
"Good morning father," cheered the children in unison. He smiled dumbly at them as they ate with their mother. They started talking about the mornings events and Kikyou had asked them how their Aunt Kaede was. It was perfect; just as they'd wated it- Kikyou was a normal woman. Inu Yasha was with her. They had a home and two strong, happy children. It was perfect... yet, something didn't feel right.
'What the hell is wrong with me,' he thought. 'This is perfect. Why can't I be happy?!' Out of nowhere, and approximately the same time his named had been thought in another world, Kagome's voice sang out in his dream. He mouthed her name. He'd forgotten it in those few hours.
His surroundings began melting into a black field. On one side were the remaining images of what would have been. On the other was the sweet image of Kagome and what could be. This was it. He had to choose; the past or the future...
*Real Life*
'Shit, that damn Hanyou is changing his desires on me! If he realizes it's just a dream, I'm screwed.'
A wicked smile came to her lips.
'I'll just have to keep him from waking up now, won't I?'
She lifted her hands, talons sharp and ready to cut. . .
He blinked. Sensing danger, he moved just in the knick of time. He grabbed Tessaiga and prepared to fight.
"You bastard! How DARE you interrupt my song?" Amaya glared at Inu Yasha, who was giving her a not-so-nice look as well.
"How dare YOU manipulate our feelings like that?!" He flew at her with his Tessaiga drawn ready to slice her into bits.
Amaya ducked out of the way, leaving her talon marks across his chest. This only furthered the inu youkai's anger as he went around for a second pass. This time, he landed a blow into her left wing.
"How dare you," she sputtered in a mixture of pain and anger. "This fight is NOT over yet Hanyou. You'll be busy enough trying to help your friends anyway. They cannot awaken until they realize it's merely a dream. You can do nothing but wait. "
With that, Amaya disappeared into the forest, leaving Inu Yasha alone to revive his companions.
"Damn it Kagome, wake up already!" he muttered as he tried to stir her.
