Ch.10 The Lightening Strikes

            Inu Yasha found himself in a dark world again. This time it looked more like his own time, but a little bit more evolved, and he was human. And he heard someone crying. He ran to her, he knew her voice, her scent. When he found her she was at the base of a hollow tree, and several trees around her were in flames. She hunched over her knees and cried as her black, unevenly cut hair fell into her face. "Tenir mon dernier soufflé!" She creamed frantically as Inu Yasha tried to find an opening in the flames, but failed as she screamed again, "Lumiere enchantee douce qu'elle finti ici ce soir!"

            "I'm COMING!" He screamed against the flames as he pulled out the tetsaiga and cut through the flames. He ran to her side and held her asking, "Are you ok? You're safe now." He said when he realized she wasn't crying any more, she was laughing.

            "Tenez desus sur moi l'amour?" She asked again as he tried to look her in the face. Then suddenly she changed into Kagome and was flung onto the tree and tied by invisible hands.

            "KAGOME!" As the human reached out to touch her, she burst into flames, and her horrible, blood curdling screams echoed through his ears. All he could do was watch, as the love of his life suffered, burned to death before his very eyes.

 "KAGOME!!!!" He tried to save her but as soon as his hand got close enough, she was completely engulfed in flames. He froze. He stood there with his face paled and his hand still reaching out to the burnt mark on the tree. "…n….no…..no….Kagome…..KAGOME!!!!!!!!" he fell to his knees and pounded the earth under him, and he cried. Suddenly he felt a hand on his shoulder and looked up at her teary eyed.

"Je manquerai l'hiver." She said as she stared at the burnt mark on the tree.

"It was you wasn't it?" He asked as he stood. "You did this to her! Just like you did last time!" He grabbed her shoulders and shook her violently. "DAMMIT! Talk so I can understand you!" He yelled at her.

            She smiled at him and said, "Mais vous reveillez et savez toujours la vertite."

            "What do you keep saying?!" He shook her again and this time she removed her gaze from the tree and directed it at the ground between them.

            "Personne n'est la." She began to laugh uncontrollably and then fell limp in Inu Yasha's arms.

            "What's the matter with you?" He shook her again, and when she didn't move he laid her down on the ground underneath the tree. Then he shook her shoulder gently, and when she didn't respond he shook her harder, angrier now. "Why won't you answer my damn question?!" He yelled as he pulled out his tetsaiga and put it to her throat. "I know you're awake. Talk to me." He pushed the tetsaiga closer and her eyes flashed open again. He saw a thousand ways that Kagome could die in them and he awoke abruptly, unable to comprehend the images. And yet again, her last words echoed in his ears.

            "Venu trouvez-moi."

He rubbed his head and sat up in his futon. He was sweating and panting again. Why do I keep having these dreams. Are they preminitions ? Or is it jus' my imagination ?  He looked around the room as his breath and pulse returned to normal. Miroku and Sango shared the couch again, while Kouga was sprawled all over the floor, snoring loudly.

He sighed and got up out of his futon, and snuck down the hall as quietly as possible.

Kagome sat up  abruptly in her bed in a silent scream. That woman again ! Why do I keep having these dreams ? She thought as she placed her hand over her stomatch. She heard a gemtle knock at the door and knew it was him imediately.

*********WARNING********

MY COMPUTER IS ACTING STUPID SO ALL TALKING PARTS WILL BE WRITTEN LIKE THIS :

'Hello there.' He said politely as he tipped his hat.

SORRY FOR THE SCREW UP. PLEASE CONTINUE READING.

            'Come in.' She cooed softly.

            Inuyasha carefully opened the door and poked his head in, his normal amber eyes shone like amber when the moonlight hit them. She nodded and motioned for him to come sit with her in the bed. A smile crossed his lips and he walked in excitedly, and shut the door behind him as quietly as possible. Then he ran to the bed and playfully tackled Kagome, kissing and nibbling on her neck and earlobe.

            'Inu Yasha.' She said trying to keep her voice at a whisper under the giggles. 'Stop it.' She said playfully. He finally stopped and looked her in the eye as he positioned himself on top of her and laid down. 'Why are you in my room at this hour ?' she asked as sheran her fingers threw his ebony hair.

            'I just wanted to see if you were ok.' He said as he looked at her and smiled.

            She loved that smile. And no matter how rare it was, or when it came, she loved it just the same. It let her know that he wasn't as tuff as he pretendied to be, and under that mean rebel, there was an adorable little puppy that just wanted to be loved. 'I'm fine Inu Yasha, Why wouldn't I be ?' she laughed a little as she spoke because he was running his fingers gently up and down her sides.

            'Because there's demons under you bed.' He said playfully as he moved around to where he was straddling her. 

            'Really? and your here to protect me from those horrible beasts huh ?' she said, going along with the game.

            'Of course! I would never let anything happen to you, koibito.' He said as he nuzzled his chin on her neck.

            'Good.' She wrapped her arms around his neck, 'because i don't ever want to be away from your side. And i'll love you no matter what happens, or what form your in.'

            He looked at her and smiled and then leaned in and kissed her, lightly and lovingly on her lips.

            She returned the kiss and that's just how they remained untill he deepened the kiss. And their silouttes remained in the darkness as a shadow shot across her window.
