Chapter Five
Inuyasha stood up and glanced around the room. I must be going nuts, he thought.
Kagome did her best to sit up and looked at Inuyasha. "What's wrong?" she asked. "Are you okay?"
"I think so."
"What happened?" she asked.
Inuyasha shook his head. "I don't know. There was this noise and..." he trailed off.
The noise came back again and it was sharper than ever. Inuyasha collapsed to the floor as the darkness claimed him. * * *
He was in a dark forest. Inuyasha couldn't see anything so he had to rely on his demonic instincts. Up ahead, he could sense a figure silhouetted in the darkness.
"Who are you?" he called out.
A soft moan came from the figure and he walked closer.
"Who are you?" he repeated. "It's so dark..."
He could sense the figure getting closer to him. "Inu...yasha..."
Inuyasha knew he felt afraid, but he brushed it away instantly. Fear won't help me in this situation, he thought to himself.
A dimmed light suddenly appeared and he saw the figure's face. "Kikyo..."
Kikyo gave him a hard stare and pulled out her bow and arrow from what appeared to be nowhere. Then she pointed the tip of her arrow in Inuyasha's direction. "How dare you betray me? Die, Inuyasha."
"No, Kikyo. Don't." Inuyasha looked at her and tried to figure out if she really was Kikyo or not. Why does this feel like déjà vu all over again, he wondered.
She released the arrow and it flew swiftly, hitting him in the chest. The pain was great and searing, but Inuyasha couldn't feel anything. He was too shocked of getting hit with an arrow by Kikyo twice in one century.
Inuyasha fell to the ground as his blood seeped out of his body. "I can't move," he whispered. "What did you do to me?" he screamed at the top of his lungs.
Kikyo lifted her chin looked him straight in the eye. "I gave you what you deserved...for betraying me."
Inuyasha looked at her in utter confusion as his vision began to blur. The forest began to spin and he struggled to keep a hold on reality.
"You shall die here," Kikyo said as she collapsed to the ground in a heap. She, too, was wounded.
Inuyasha could no longer stay awake. "I don't have a choice," he said to himself. The instant his eyes closed, he was asleep. * * *
Inuyasha's eyes opened slowly. Was it all a dream? he thought to himself.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome cried. She wrapped her arms around him and began to sob. "What happened? You passed out and that never—"
"Kagome," he said just above a whisper.
Kagome looked at him with silence. "Huh?"
"You need to rest. You are not well yet." Inuyasha sadly looked at the ground.
"Inuyasha," Kagome protested. "What about you? You should rest, too, you know. Just look at you."
Inuyasha looked at her. "I am not the one who is injured."
Kagome stared back. "You are hurt. There is blood coming from your chest."
His eyes widened in horror as he realized that maybe it had not been just a dream after all.
Thanks to everybody for the wonderful reviews! It makes me so happy that you guys like it so far. But my story is just beginning...
