Blind

Disclaimer: I don't own Inu Yasha, but I do own a DVD, and I do own his doggy ears. He he. Just kidding.

*_~Damit!~_*

Inu Yasha came back later that night. Looking relatively happy. 'Kikyou. You and I shall be together soon. Then, then I'll feel the love that mother always used to talk about. Inu Yasha smiled. Satisfied. Tomorrow night, would be the night that he and Kikyou would forever be mated.

But, he couldn't help but have this nagging feeling in the back of his head. Something wasn't the way it was supposed to be. There was something in the air that said that something big was going to come up. But what it was, he had no clue.

He sat in his tree that night, and had an all but peaceful night. Dreams plagued his mind. Not happy ones either. That night, he dreamt about Kagome. He was walking through the forest happily. He and Kikyou had just been mated, and had completed the entire ritual.



But when he got back to the camp site, He almost died of shock. Sango was crying. She kept saying things to him like, "It's all you fault. Why are you so blind?"

And when he asked Miroku what was wrong, Miroku wouldn't even stare at him. But, then, the dream took the worst turn it could ever take. As he reached Kagomes sleeping bag, she lay motionless on it. Blood was spilling out from invisible wounds, and there she lay. Dying.

He gingerly picked up her head, and started to shake her. "Kagome!" he screamed. He was scared. There was no way that he could loose his Kagome. His one and only Kagome. "What happened?"

Inu Yasha's voice cracked. Kagome's eyes opened a little. "You killed me Inu Yasha."

His eyes flew open. Inu Yasha looked down at Kagome's sleeping bag. She was still there, and so was her heart beat. It was just a dream. But he didn't understand it. Why would she be dead? How did he kill her? What ever the dream meant, he would never let go of Kagome.

'I promised to protect you Kagome. And I intend to keep my promise.' Inu Yasha did not sleep for the rest of the night; for he feared that there would be a surprise attack or something.

*_~ Kagome ~_*

She was running. Running from all the killing. Shippou was in her arms. She stopped and looked back. Gone. The village was gone. Her home was gone. She silently let tears stream down her cheeks.

"Shippou," she started, but as she looked down, she let out a soundless scream. He was dead! She dropped his body out of shock, and fear. Fear that it had been her that had killed him. She raced on, not looking back. She couldn't stand the sight of the dead kit.

"Sango! Miroku!" she screamed as she saw their backs.

Sango turned around. "Run Kagome! Run!"

Kagome's eyes were red, and puffy, as tears fell endlessly. She ran. Ran faster, and farther than she had ever run before. Sango, Miroku, Shippou, they were all dead.

'What am I running from?' she thought hopelessly.

"Inu Ya.." Kagome stopped dead. He was holding Kikyou. They were kissing. A fire wall appeared between her and Inu Yasha. He dropped dead in five seconds flat.

"NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Kagome tried to pass the wall of fire, but the flames burnt hot, and strong.

A voice came out of no where. One that sounded strangely like Kikyou's. It spoke. "This is what will happen if you stay here. This is the pain that you will bring, and this is the future if you do not leave Inu Yasha alone. His heart does no belong to you. It never has."

"No. No!" Kagome sobbed quietly. But no one came to comfort her. No one was there. Kaeda was gone, and her friends were gone. She was alone. All alone.



*_~ Kagome **_~

Kagome's eyes fluttered open. She lifted her head off of her pillow. The pillow was wet from her tears. The dream had seemed so real. But why? Why had Kikyou threatened her like that?

'Well you don't have to worry any more Kikyou.' Kagome thought silently. 'Inu Yasha is all yours. I have not heart now. I cannot feel.'

Kagome lay her head back down on her pillow, and closed her eyes, but she never did fall asleep again. In fear that the dream would come back.

=P Next Day =P



'Dawn. Time to leave the camp.' Thought Kagome. "Alright every one UP!" she said as she went around shaking her friends awake. "Come on Inu Yasha. Time to go shard hunting."

Inu Yasha opened an eye. Her voice was so monotone. Cold, and emotionless. It scared him how much she now resembled Sesshomaru. "Who died and made you boss?" he said being his cocky old self.

Her eyes narrowed, and her mouth opened, but Sango interrupted. "We're ready Kagome." Her voice was tired, and you could see bags under her eyes.

"Why," Miroku yawned. "Why so early?" He repeated.

*Slap*

"PERVERT!!!" rang through the entire forest.

"Lady Sango!" Miroku whined. "You didn't have to hit me that hard."

"Well you,"

It was Kagome's turn to interject. "SHUT UP!" Every thing went silent. Kagome never talked to her friends that way. There was a definite change in her. One that even Inu Yasha could see. Her eyes lay cold, and emotionless. Inu Yasha swallowed. "Let's go. The sooner we get this over with, the better."

"Kagome, what did Inu Yasha do to make you so grumpy?" came Shippo's voice.

Kagome didn't answer. Instead, she just kept on walking. Sango and Miroku exchanged worried glances, and Shippo drooped his head to the ground. Why? What had Inu Yasha done? Why was Kagome acting this way?

'I'm so sorry Shippo.' Kagome cast a glance over her shoulder. The poor kitsune. But the more she cared for them and them her, the harder it would be for her to return to her time. Forever.

Inu Yasha stared down at the kitsune from his perch in the trees. He wouldn't admit it, but he was getting worried. What was wrong with Kagome? She was so…..different lately. Had he done that? Had he said something to make her feel that way? 'Did she see me with….no. It couldn't be. I couldn't smell her scent there, but it did rain after.'

"Oi! Wench. Aren't you going to say sorry." He shouted. He was going to find out what happened. She always let things go when she was made.

"For what?"

He shivered. She sounded so spiteful to him. Where was the Kagome he fell in….no. He became friends with? "You hurt Shippo's feelings. You should say sorry."

Kagome stopped, and turned around. Her eyes met his. Inu Yasha almost broke the gaze. Her eyes were almost an icy brown. "If you don't, why should I?"

"Alright! I give up. Whatever I did, I'm sorry."

"NO! DON'T SAY YOU'RE SORRY WHEN YOU'RE NOT!!!!" Kagome yelled. Forcing the emotion behind the words to stay hidden.

"WELL, WHAT do you WANT from me?!"

Kagome shook her head, and sneered a sneer that could just break Inu Yasha's heart. "You can't give want. You've already given it away."

'How? How can someone change so much in one week?' Sango thought sadly. 'Oh Inu Yasha, what did you do?'

Miroku shook his head. Now he understood. 'Kagome-chan. When? What about us? Damit Inu Yasha. Just figure out your feelings already.'

"YOU KNOW WHAT?!" Inu Yasha screamed. "WHY DON'T YOU JUST GO BACK TO YOUR TIME, AND STAY THERE?!!! WE TRY TO HELP BUT YOU WON'T LET US! JUST ADMIT THAT YOU NEED HELP?!"

"You don't understand." Kagome said grinding her teeth.

"THERE'S NOTHING TO UNDERSTAND!" Inu Yasha spat. "Just go back to your time. You're useless. Always coming to us for help."

Kagome's fist shook violently. Inu Yasha swallowed. Had he made her cry again? Her tired and feeble voice broke his thoughts.

Finally, she showed emotions. Though not intentionally. "Fine." Her voice wavered. She moved her gaze the the trees behind them. "If that's what it takes to make you happy. Then fine."

Kagome jumped on her bike, (Did she bring that? Can't remember. Oh well. Now she did.) and rode away in the opposite direction.

"NOOOO!!!! Kagome! Come back!" Shippo wailed. "Look what you did Inu Yasha. You're such a bastard! How could you!" he jumped into Sango's arms for comfort.

They stared shocked. But none more shocked than Inu Yasha. He hadn't meant it. Yet, she took it so seriously. She actually walked out on him.

"Damit Kagome!" and for once. The shards meant nothing to him.
