"Um… todomaru, hanyou kaeru ningen—err, I don't—zutto ai suru… mottomo oi chui…" Kagome ground out, racking her brain for the correct words, "Erm, Inuyasha… I don't remember any more!" she complained.
Inuyasha cast Kagome a flat look. "That's all? A few, measly words?"
Kagome pouted. "They are not measly! I have a feeling that they are important, Inuyasha—"
"Kagome, think about what you're saying! Words cannot be important!!"
Kagome sighed impatiently at Inuyasha's rant. He'd never understand just how important they could be; he didn't have the privileges of modern Japan that she did… She rolled her eyes scathingly at Inuyasha when he burst out at her for blocking him out. Of course, she wasn't going to listen if she didn't believe him. It was only natural to, right, when she didn't believe his words? "Inuyasha…" she began softly, fighting off the yell rising in her throat.
Inuyasha halted immediately; she had that look in her eye that just screamed trouble and Inuyasha didn't like it in the least… "Yes, Kag— Wench?" Might as well play around while he had his head…
Kagome's eyes flared with white hot anger and Inuyasha realized that he shouldn't have done that, taking in his human appearance and weaknesses. He turned away from her and fled, cursing his slow, human speed. "No! I know your name! It's Kagome! Kagome, not Wench! I know!!!" he called over his quickly retreating back. This was one thing he did not need in his human form. He cursed his bloodline for their arrogance…
Kagome shook with fury. He'd just plucked the last nerve, running like a coward from a human girl. After all that she'd done for him in just that day, he had the gull to call her that name. She would not be insulted by Inuyasha, even as human! "Inuyasha, sit!"
A thump sounded from not far off, disturbing the silence of the forest – or maybe that was Kagome's yell – and the teenage girl tsked as the birds flocked from the trees and the dust rose from the ground. She sighed with distaste and marched off to find Inuyasha. With his human form and that spell, he wouldn't – Kagome had inwardly concluded – be moving any time soon. In that time, she could take a leisurely stroll through the forest to find him.
God dammit! He swore to god that she'd nearly killed him the last time she'd done that today… Inuyasha pondered differently this time, unfortunately. His already aching body was in twice the pain of last time. Damned bitch…
Inuyasha peered around his fallen form cautiously – trying to the best of his ability considering he was practically glued to the ground at the moment. He would not struggle if Kagome was around; she would only laugh. That would positively murder his pride.
Just as he began trying to resist the necklace, a quiet laugh drew him from his concentration and he gave up. He scowled as he saw Kagome's laughing frame approach him. He looked away indignantly, propping his chin in his palms. Damned wench wouldn't leave him alone now; he knew that for a godforsaken fact. How unfair, cruel it was…
Kagome crouched beside him and he felt a poke in his shoulder. A soft, very human growl emitted from the hanyou-changed-human in response.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome sang in a nauseatingly syrupy tone and Inuyasha rolled his eyes. He conducted that she had either totally misinterpreted his near silent threat or hadn't heard it at all. He was rather lenient towards the second suggestion.
Kagome tied the last tether snugly, ignoring the stifled whimper of discomfort she heard. "There! Now," she faced Inuyasha – his hands and feet had been tied in place, immovable, while his mouth was taped shut. Kagome was glad she'd brought all that tape with her, "are you going to listen to me like a good hanyou-human?"
A furious nod answered her.
"Okay, then." Kagome flopped on the soft ground in front of Inuyasha. "Now, I'm going to retell my dream, alright?" Another nod. "And you… You're going to nod when you find something familiar, okay?" A short nod replied to her.
Kagome sat up, watching the sleeping hanyou-human. He never usually slept on the new moon. Inuyasha was always afraid that if he went to sleep, he wouldn't catch a predator approaching because of his less-than-perfect human senses.
But, this time, Inuyasha'd fallen asleep. And, this time, Kagome had an unsettling drowning sensation in the pit of her stomach. She almost knew something was going to happen. Ignoring the warning her form was sending her, she slipped into the bedroll, intent on sleeping.
Just as her eyes started to drift closed, she saw the wind pick up and her eyes flew open wide, thinking it a sign of someone or something approaching. She tried to call the others a warning but found no voice. As she tried to rise from the bedroll without waking the sleeping kit curled at her stomach, she found herself immobile. Oh no… was her sole thought. What was happening? What would happen if Inuyasha didn't wake?
Inuyasha!!
The curtains blew inwards and a strange blue light overtook the room, illuminating everything in sight to an eerie turquoise color. The whispering wind shifted around Inuyasha, colors swirling into shapes before a frame of a woman appeared. She floated to the floor noiselessly with grace and elegance only to be compared with Sesshoumaru of the Western Lands, even though she was merely human – one could interpret that by looks. Black hair cascaded loosely down her back and soft lavender eyes stared remorsefully down at the hanyou-turned-human Inuyasha, clasping the pallid formal kimono wrapped around her.
No! Leave him alone! Inuyasha!!
Kagome could tell she had no intention of hurting Inuyasha but she still didn't like the female so close to him. Call it jealousy, some would, but she didn't want that girl within ten feet of him. The teenage girl watched with resentment as the lady stood in front of Inuyasha, murmuring something so softly that she could barely comprehend half of the words uttered. A strange light erupted and the next thing Kagome saw was the woman kneeling before of the human boy, stroking his face. She'd whispered something to him and she distinctly picked out the word, "son."
Kagome finally regained control of her body and she flew from the bed. Before she could near the bizarre female, she vanished into thin air, literally.
Kagome awoke in her bed with a jolt. It was all a dream…
Inuyasha had remained silent the whole time, listening intently. He hadn't nodded once though he looked thoroughly interested when the female had entered and she revealed her description. Had he found the lady attractive just from her words or was it that she seemed familiar?
Inuyasha let the long silence continue as he thought about that woman in Kagome's dream. She seemed familiar. Lavender eyes, long and straight black hair, ashen kimono. White was his mother's favorite color. He looked exactly like his mother when he was human – just not so feminine, of course. Come to think of it, his mother was wearing a colorless kimono the day she died. He blinked hard. Could it…?
The tape was ripped from his mouth, before he could comprehend that last thought, and he yelped in pain. "Abusive wench!"
"Ignorant dog! I was talking to you!"
"And you just had to take that off to get my attention?!"
"Ya know," Kagome said, ripping another piece of tape from the roll that she'd brought with her, "I liked you better with your mouth shut…" she stuck the tape over his lips before he could protest.
