Disclaimer: Once upon a time there were Inuyasha show rights. Well one
day, Kalyen Majabe asked for them. Brutally she was denied and had to
return to her fan fic writing horribly ashamed and only with rights to
Seato-sune and other nameless characters.
A/N: Hello. I hope you've all had a wonderful holiday break. I know I have! Well, here's another chapter for you. I'm writing as many as I can before the break is over. So don't think this is a new system (that I'll be writing one every other day)... cuz I won't..Who am I kidding!?!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Dreams Do Come True~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
After Inuyasha exited the hospital, he headed for the hills that rode along the edge of the city. He wandered through the bustling city to the peace and serenity of the countryside. Once reaching the hills, he began to climb. Up and up he went until finally reaching his destination, the top. He lazily dropped to the ground and lay there, looking up at the stars.
The sky was a cloudless masterpiece. A royal blue sea with silver splashes that could be taken for fish leaping in and out of their vast, cold empire. In the west he could see splashes of reds, pinks, oranges, and every color in between, as the sun made way for the lunar reign. A slight breeze brought the scent of lilacs and fresh cut grass. It played with Inuyasha's hair.
He sat there, silently, taking it all in. Listening while nature spoke to him of tales long ago, and lessons to be learned. Eventually he drifted off to sleep. While he slept, he dreamed:
He was walking through fog. He couldn't tell where he was or what he was walking on, but kept walking nonetheless. Ahead of him he could see a form, swaying in the distance. Behind him he heard a constant, pulsing, loud drum. He continued on. Occasionally he would hear someone yell or the zing of an arrow as it flew by. Never hitting him, and he was never able to see them.
Eventually he neared the shape ahead of him. He recognized the scent. Getting closer, he saw that it was Kikiyo. She was tied to a post and staring right through him. He wanted to help, but he couldn't move. He reached out his arms, yelled, and struggled with all his might, but to no avail. He couldn't get to her, to save her. Suddenly the fog lifted and he saw a bloody battle raging around him. Arrows were flying in every direction, barely missing the two of them. Kikiyo started to mumble something. Inuyasha strained to hear, but it was no use. Men were dying everywhere and all he could hear were screams, arrows zinging past, and the ever persistent drums.
He looked up at her, but it wasn't Kikiyo any more. It was Kagome! Like a flash he could move again and he bounded towards her. He started to free her and she collapsed into his arms coughing.
"Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you," he whispered and hugged her close. He then tilted his head down to hers and gave her a kiss on the lips. Behind him he heard laughing - the deep, rumbling laugh of Naraku. He turned to find Kikiyo standing there with a lowered bow and arrow. Looking down he realized he had been shot through the heart.
He looked at Kikiyo and whispered, "Why?.."
She just returned the stare with a cold gaze and said, "Die, Inuyasha!" before letting another arrow fly..
~*~
He awoke hearing Kikiyo's last statement in his ears, but it disappeared with the wind. His heart ached. What was he doing? Ever since his mom and him decided to leave the futal era, he had been tormented with thoughts about - her. Leaving her was hell for Inuyasha, and he swore he'd never go through that again, with anyone. Even though he vowed to return someday, he knew the chances were small. So with a heavy heart, him and his family crossed the barrier to this world and sealed it. It wasn't until later that he learned of her tragic demise. It made him sick to think that the last thing she thought before she died was that he didn't love her; that he had betrayed her.
He rolled onto his side and combed his hand through the grass.
'I don't know what to do.' He thought. 'I love Kikiyo, and always will, but that's a part of me that's gone now. I have to move on. And besides, there's Kagome.' He sat up. 'Kagome!' How could he have been so blind? 'All this time she's been there, right in front of my face! How could I have not realized it before? I'm such an idiot!' He thought, then lept up and headed home. For the first time in a long while, he was careless. (and he didn't even have to become all demon)
