Data Log Entry May 14, 2004: takes out the "DWSSPDB" grins
stupidly I just finished typing this. My wrist hurts like you wouldn't
believe. And I have "Elbow Room" from School House Rock stuck in my head
(our school put on a musical, though I wasn't in it ;; But, my friend was,
so it was all okay!). Now. This chapter hints at the plot, but doesn't
totally reveal it. In fact, the part that does hint at it happens so often
you don't really notice it. The joys of Creative Writing class. Isn't it
wonderful?
Disclaimer: sighes I swear you people, it goes in your ears and straight back out. OH! You're lawyers. You're not people. Forget that, you're not even human! (no I don't own Inu-Yasha & co.)
This chapter is dedicated to fetchboy84, cause she's had a really bad week and I want her to feel better! Now! Not later! NOW! Eh hee. Got a little carried away.
Calm Before the Storm Chapter 5: Nightmare
Kagome's friends sat at lunch talking.
"Kagome's sick again today."
"Hey, don't you guys find it odd that whenever Kagome's here she looks as healthy as anyone, but then the next day she's diagnosed with something severe?"
"Yeah, you're right!"
"We should investigate!"
"Uhhh, guys? Kagome's life is her own business."
The rest of Kagome's friends stared at the one opposing their snoop.
"But, I've started to wonder too. So, I guess some snooping wouldn't hurt," Eri finally agreed.
And with that decision made, the girls raced for the Higurashi shrine.
The group had settled around a campfire.
"Let's see, if I remember correctly, the shard we used to have was about three fourths completed. If I carefully put these pieces together," Kagome put them together like a loose jigsaw, although they didn't stick without her hands. "Hmmmmmm," Kagome eyed the rough shard. "We need about five more. Then there's the real challenge, getting the rest back from Naraku."
Everyone sat silently, the dim fire flickering across their features. They were all wondering how this dilemna would turn out.
Soon the group had all fallen into a comfortable sleep. Everyone except Inu-Yasha. He was in a tree thinking.
'What will happen once the jewel is completely whole again? I suppose I'll finally turn into a full fledged demon. Sango and Miroku will probably still travel together. Shippo will probably go with them. But Kagome. What about Kagome? Will she return to her own time? Or will she die just like Miroku warned?'
He looked down and saw Kagome sleeping soundly. He quietly jumped down and knelt beside her. 'I don't want her to die or to go away,' he gently stroked her face.
"Can't sleep, can you?"
"Miroku, I thought you were asleep."
"I couldn't sleep either," he stared at his right hand. "I've been thinking."
"About what?"
"Naraku now has our shard and others that he had collected for himself. We just need four more. At least, those are the ones we can get without too much trouble."
"You're right."
"Inu-Yasha, you were thinking of what you would do once the Shikon Jewel is whole again."
"Heh. I guess it was written all over my face."
"Yes. We were both wondering the same thing. What would happen to all of us when the Shikon no Tama is complete."
Inu-Yasha went back to his perch and drifted into an uneasy sleep.
Begin Dream
"Where am I?" Inu-Yasha asked. He looked around him and found himself in a barren wasteland. It had a diameter of one mile, with forest and grassland beyond. The sky was a dark gray and cloudy. A tension hung in the air making his skin prickle.
"What the," he saw in the middle of the still, stormy desert a demon. A demon with a long white main, puppy ears, red hakama pants, and long, sharp claws. The demon's chest was bare and his eyes glowed red. The demon was him.
"I'm a full fledged demon? But.......How?" Inu-Yasha's mind spun as he watched his other self standing there, flexing his claws.
Then he saw a girl in priestess clothing running toward him, tears in her eyes.
"Kikyo?" No. It was Kagome.
"Inu-Yasha! Why?!" She sobbed, edging closer to the demon.
"What's going on?" Inu-Yasha thought, watching her come closer to his other self.
Then his demon self did something strange. He growled threateningly to Kagome.
"Inu-Yasha, don't you remember me?" Kagome cried getting within one foot of him.
Inu-Yasha watched her tear stricken face getting closer. Then pure pain filled her eyes as she jerked forward. She coughed, blood came out. She was breathing hard. He looked down and saw his hand pushed all the way through her stomach.
Inu-Yasha staggered back in horror as he watched her use the last of her strength to embrace him. He pulled his arm out and threw her to the ground like a broken toy. Then Inu-Yasha looked around and noticed other mangled figures. Figures that resembled Miroku, Sango, and Shippo.
"N.......NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" He raced to Kagome. "KAGOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"End Dream
Inu-Yasha woke up shaking and breathing hard. He was in a cold sweat. His heart hurt as he looked around to make sure he had been having a nightmare.
"I....I slaughtered her," Inu-Yasha jumped down and slowly walked toward her. He sat down and gently cradled her.
"That dream will never come true Kagome. I promise." Her scent was sweet to him and made his heart hurt less.
'Inu-Yasha. You're holding me. I once wanted Hojo to hold me like this, but that was before I met Inu-Yasha. He's come to mean so much to me. I wonder what's up. Huh? Inu-Yasha sounds scared and relieved at the same time. My cheek is wet. He....He's crying? I've never known Inu-Yasha to cry!'
"Inu-Yasha?"
"Kagome."
"Why were you holding me and crying?"
"Feh. I don't know what came over me," he leaned against the tree near Kagome's sleeping bag. 'I can't believe I broke down like that. What's happening to me?!'
"Inu-Yasha, do I not matter to you anymore? Have you found love somewhere else?" Kikyo asked watching the two argue from the trees. "You had a nightmare about her. It scared you. So, Kaede was right. She is melting your heart."
"But, you are still not out of his heart dear Kikyo."
"Naraku."
"Yes. Inu-Yasha is torn between you and the girl. Remember, he can never hurt you."
"Your point?"
"None really. Just trying to keep you from returning to the world of the dead."
"No need to worry. My soul is past saving."
"Good to hear it."
Excuses: Wellllllllllllllll, about the Kagome friend part. It had to happen to someday. I mean. They're not THAT stupid. Seriously. They don't have a brain the size of Homo the Bloody Purple Blob (long story, ask fetchboy84, I can't think of the author's name off the top of my head). Well. Um. My wrist feels better! And I updated!
