This is only: Realities Dream
Chapter 1
Japan's Countryside (roughly March 1497)
The day was warm with a pleasant breeze tossing about the trees. Inu-Yasha and Miroku were a few yards ahead of the girls and Shippo, looking out for any sign of a demon. Any demon!! It had been a few weeks now without any sign of a youkai at all and they (especially Inu-Yasha) were becoming restless.
"I can't believe I've been here for a year. It feels like only a few days!" Kagome exclaimed.
"A whole year........ And we still haven't found all of the jewel yet?!" Inu-Yasha turned and jumped into Kagome's face.
"We have most of it." Sango intervened.
"Yes, I speculate Naraku has the rest." Miroku added while sitting down on a fallen tree. "I think this will do for the night."
They had stopped right off the side of the road. A stream could be heard not to far off to the right side of the road.
"What are you talking about Monk there is still day light left?" Inu-Yasha ranted.
"Think about it Inu-Yasha," Kagome stated, "If Naraku truly has the rest of the jewel, which I'm pretty sure he does, then he will come for the rest of it soon. And since we don't know where he is, what is the point of walking around in circles looking for him and tiring ourselves out for?"
"Feh......" He replied with a turn of his head.
"Just be patient, it won't be long till you get your wish." Kagome said while sitting down against a tree playing with Shippo's fur.
"What is that supposed to mean?!?"
"Calm down and wait a little longer." Then looking toward Sango she said, "How about we visit that river I hear?"
"I wanna' come!" Shippo screamed.
"I would not be adverse to a swim either, Lady Kagome."
SLAP
"Actually, on another thought, I think I'll pass." Miroku stated, now sporting a nice red hand print on the side of his face.
"Sure, Kagome......." Sango finally answered.
The river turned out to be about a ten minute walk from where they had decided to pitch camp. The water was cool but not overly cold, and they were surrounded by a lush forest and millions of different colored plants. One could see every color of the rainbow; from brilliant reds, to vibrant blues, and stunning violets and with the oncoming sunset it was a spectacular view.
"Sango, this is....... amazing." Kagome whispered for fear it may all just be a dream and she didn't want to wake up.
"Yeah......" Was all Sango could reply while staring at the canopy of trees above them.
Just then Shippo decided to break the serene silence by screaming, "Look at me!" as he did a canon ball into the water.
Kirara could be seen behind him placing a paw in the water, then thinking the better of it decided to opt for just resting under a bush full of bright blue flowers.
The girls began to laugh as a result of his antics, especially when he came out of the water looking as if he had just won a basket full of chocolates. Though his antics were short lived for a resounding BOOMmm shook the earth.
"What was that?" Kagome asked Sango her eyes wide with fright.
"I don't know......Let's get back to the guys."
"Yeah..."
BOOMmm
It didn't take much more for the girls to rush out of the river, throw there clothes on and run back to meet the guys. Who were all ready on there feet staring in to the eyes of a twenty foot tall demon.
He had no neck and looked to be an overly obese monkey that was a deep green color and had red/yellow eyes. His skin was not fur of any kind but created out of what looked to be scales and to make matters worse he was oozing a purple substance that looked to be masama. Not to mention the awful smell it was creating by just standing there.
Inu-Yasha had a hand over his nose and Miroku's face looked pale with a ting of green.
"What a reeking smell!!!" Inu-Yasha screamed. He turned to Miroku, "Where are the girls?!"
BOOMmm
The creature took another step forward.
'He can't smell us!' Kagome thought.
"We're here!!!" Sango yelled as she ran up to them throwing her hiraikotsu at the demon but it had no effect and just bounced back to her.
"Well, that's not good." Miroku stated.
BOOMmm The beast let out an ear piercing roar. "I have no need of you!" He then turned his head to look at Kagome who was off to his left and the group's right. "Giiiiive it to meeee!" It screeched.
Kagome had had her bow at the ready but when the demon turned its sights on her she was startled and let arrow fly so it just grazed the top of it's head. It screeched once more in pain then made a leap for her.
"KAGOME, RUN!!!" Inu-Yasha yelled dashing toward her and unsheathing his sword at the same time. He hit the monster on its right arm but all he received was a jiggle of the monsters gigantic arm and Kagome's scream.
The demon had picked Kagome up around the waist in his gigantic hand and proceeded to shake her. "Give it to me woman!"
Kagome didn't reply her head flinging sickly back and forth as he shook her arms flying.
"Give me the jewel!!!" It roared at her.
"Never....." She whispered.
"What did you say?" It looked her straight in the eye and then screamed in horrific pain as Inu-Yasha thrust the Tetusaiga into the monsters scull where Kagome's arrow had grazed him as Kagome jabbed at his hand with another arrow she had been able to hold onto.
The demon was in so much pain it threw Kagome about a hundred feet to crash into a large tree and flip to land on her stomach.
"(Lady) KAGOME!" They all screamed and Shippo ran up to her and almost threw up at what he saw. Kagome's left arm and right leg were most definitely broken. She had a large gash on the back of her head along with many other smaller cuts and blood was everywhere.
"Kagome....." He whispered. "Kagome please wake up.... Kagome!!!" At that moment Sango came up behind him.
"Oh my..... Dear.... Kagome....."She flipped her over and rested Kagome's head in her lap.
While this was going on Inu-Yasha had successfully jabbed his sword into the monsters head. Resulting in a gush of blood to hit him in the face and make him fall back and off of the monster. He landed on his back and back flipped into a crouched position right in front of Miroku.
The demon threw his head back again and successfully dislodged the Tetusaiga throwing it right in front of the girls.
"I think I can handle the clear up." Miroku stated as he unveiled the Kazanna.
"Not while I'm in front of you, idiot!" Inu-Yasha jumped out of the way just in time to see the demon disappear into Miroku's black hole and then seal it inside.
Then something else caught his ear and full attention. It was the sobs of a woman and the yells of a young kitsune.
"Kagome..... wake up.... please....." Shippo cried into her hair.
'Kagome....'Inu-Yasha breathed out and ran past everyone to kneel at Kagome's side and take her from Sango's lap. "Kagome...." He whispered. Inu- Yasha lifted a clawed hand to push some stray blood matted hair from her eyes. Then his eye's blazed something akin to determination. "Where's her bag?" He asked while lying her down on the grass. He pulled off his red jacket and put it under her head as his answer came.
"Here it is." Miroku said while handing him the yellow bag that also held the Tetusaiga. Inu-Yasha and started throwing things out of it.
"Where is it? Where is it?" He chanted. "Yes!" He said in triumph while pulling out a smaller white bag with a red cross on it. Not having the most patience at the moment he used his claws and ripped the bag open spilling its contents on the ground. He fumbled around a bit before pulling out a roll of gauze and medical tape.
"Miroku, Shippo.....leave."
"Wha--!? I can't leave her like this...." Shippo screamed at first and then let the sentence fade into nothing when he finally realized what Inu-Yasha was about to do and why he told them to leave.
Miroku, fully understanding what was going to happen, he silently picked up Shippo and left to their camp and see if it could be salvaged.
Once Shippo and Miroku left Inu-Yasha turned to Sango and said only to words until they finished cleaning her wounds and bandaging her up.
"....Help me."
It had become evening, the camp was still in tact, and now the fire pit was ablaze with crackling wood and sizzling fish from the stream.
"It sounded so utterly helpless . . . . .. It was just, not Inu-Yasha. I've never heard him ask for help for anything and he hasn't said a word since." Sango had been explaining Kagome's physical state to Shippo and Miroku while soothing herself by stroking Kirara's shiny fir.
"Is Kagome going to be all right, Sango?" Shippo asked in a worried whisper.
"I don't know, Shippo...... I just don't know......."
