Meet My Maker
Chapter 6: Confusion
"What the..." Kagome sat up in her bed, a cold sweat strung over her body. 'A dream?' She stood up and rubbed her eyes.
"Inu-Yasha there is something in the water!" Miroku had called.
"No shit!" Inu-Yasha had responded, charging into the water.
That had been the hotsprings...then the voice that claimed it saved her.
'I will help you,' the voice had paused, 'for now.'
Kagome tried to recount the rest of what had taken place in her extreme dream, but was left grasping for information that stayed just outside of her reach.
'This is strange. I'm losing it...' She glanced at herself in the mirror as she started for the door. 'Big time!'
Her clothes were the same from before her 'trip' to the feudal era. She stood in her pink bunny pajamas, but her appearance did not match the one from before. She gasped and stood back, looking about her. Once black hair had a major streak of blue down the middle and the length of her wavy hair went to the point under her butt. Her eyes shown the color of a darkened purple, and as in her dream her nails symbolized claws. They were not colored and she bore no fangs this time, but the change was enough to scare her.
"Kagome!" Ms. Higurashi called from the bottom of the stairs. "Kagome? Are you even here?" She was getting closer to Kagome's door.
Panic filled the Higurashi child and she rushed to her window and pushed it open. She was most certain she didn't want her mom to see her like this, not until she at least knew what was going on. Following Inu-Yasha's usual route she stepped out onto the ledge. Just as the door opened inside the room, Kagome flattened herself against the wall just out of sight from the window.
"Must still be in the feudal era... I could have sworn I heard someone up here though." Her voice grew closer to the window and Kagome made a mad scramble to the tree next to her roof. Planning to grab the nearest branch and climb down to the ground's safety, she slipped and fell forward.
"Argh!" She managed to mumble as she hit the ground standing. 'Wow. That didn't hurt at all...'
Hearing the window open, she ran out of sight and to the well.
..%..
Getting out of the well was a different experience for Kagome this time around. Instead of climbing up the vines and grunting as she struggled to pull herself over the edge, she simply jumped and was carried gracefully into the air above her. She had frightened herself though and managed to fall to the ground next to the ancient well.
"Owie!" She said rubbing her bottom.
"What the hell?!" Immediately looking up, Kagome saw the silver-haired half- demon looking thoroughly confused a few feet away from her.
"Inu-Yasha!" She got up, but cried out when something hard hit her back. The force of the hit threw her into a flip and an anything-but-soft landing. The newly acquired long hair cascaded over her body as she pulled herself together and stood once more. Inu-Yasha was dumbfounded as he blankly looked at Kagome. His sword, the Tetsusaiga, was still sheathed and he didn't at all look like he was ready to fight.
Then she realized- he couldn't see the thing that had pushed her... and either could she.
"Kagome, what's going on?" He asked slowly. "Why do you look like...that?"
"AGH!!" An invisible something hit her chest and pinned her to the ground. It lifted and readjusted it self around her neck.
"Inu...yasha..." She choked out. "He...help." The grip tightened as Inu-Yasha ran up and attempted to claw the invisible thing that had the new looking Kagome by the neck. He could see the indention in her skin that made the shape of a hand. Even if she looked different, she still had Kagome's scent, and he would protect her.
"Iron weaver soul stealer!" He yelled as he charged the air above the girl. Something then wrapped around his right ankle and slung him against the nearest tree, nearly breaking it.
"Ka...Kagome..." A deep voice said above her, it was so different from any she had ever heard. Her eyes were nearly closed and tears poured down her cheeks. It was hard to breathe and when the grip tightened she reflexively grabbed what seemed to be an arm. She felt a strong pulse in this and felt the muscles that lined it.
Inu-Yasha came back yelling obscenities and was once again thrown away. 'Why isn't he using the Tetsusaiga?' She thought for a fleeting moment, but blacked out before another thought could form.
This is when it all changed.
"Your life, my dear, is being taken. And by something you can't even see, I feel such pity for you. You are weaker than I had once thought. How disappointed your peers and family will be with you- killed by the unseen..." It could clearly be labeled as an old woman's voice- strong, yet feeble. It cracked at the mention of disappointment in the darkness of young Kagome's mind.
She was beginning to get annoyed by all these 'voices', talking in hazardous situations.
"Damn you all!" She thought with a fury, not accustom to the fowl language she spoke. It seemed to do SOMETHING though, for her eyes fluttered open to see a big yellow blur hovering just above her. Hot tears rushed out of her eyes and her blur formed a yellow-skinned, hunchbacked monster. Its eyes were merely beads of red and its nose was nothing but two slits in the skin above a fanged mouth. She barley glanced down his body to see a brown robe wrapped around his demonic form.
He was just floating there...grinning...
"AHHHHHHHHHHH!" She squealed. "INUYASHA!" The demon dropped his grin as well as his arm down to her stomach, once again pinning her to the grass. Gasping for breath she turned her head to see the dog demon lying on the ground next to the well. "INUYASHA?" Her mind spun. Was he okay... was he alive?
She wanted to go to him... she squirmed under the opposing force on her body to get at him, but the yellow demon held tight. Grabbing his now visible arm, she dug her new claws into his slimy flesh, attempting to remove the burden, but with no such luck.
In her agitated state, she cried out, "LET ME GO!" And surprisingly, the weight lifted from her stomach and she scrambled out from under his floating body. 'Why did he let me go?' She thought, but was all to glad to be out of harm's way.
"Inuyasha? Inuyasha!" He just lay there, unconscious, and under her eyes he wasn't breathing. "INUYASHA!" She looked around him for a source of his unconsciousness. No blood, no gash, no big bump, or hole. He was just lying there... asleep almost.
"What did you do to him?" She screamed toward the demon, but when she turned around he was no longer there. Standing, she wildly looked around for any sign of the demonic hunchback- nowhere to be seen.
Please read and review!!!! It's been a while, but hopefully I still have readers!! Best hope to you all.
