Chapter 8
Kagome awoke early the next morning. She sat up in her bed and just sat there for a moment.
She had had the dream again. She closed her blind eyes as she remembered the dream.
**Dream**
Kagome was on a picknik with her family and they were all enjoying themselves.
She ran over to her mother, who was sitting out their lunch with Grandpa, and plopped down on the blanket next to Sota.
Kagome looked towards the sun and let it warm her face. "This is the best day of my life! I've never been so happy before." She said as she looked back at her family.
Kagome gasped in fright at what she saw.
What she saw was her family. But they were diferant.
Her mother was covered in blood and her arm was sticking at an odd angle. Her grandfather had a big gash running across his face and there was a bloody spot in his chest. Sota was the worst of them all. One of his legs was twisted, his hair was matted with blood, one eye was swollen shut, and he had a huge cut in his stomach.
They were all laying on the ground and Kagome could see that they weren't breathing.
Kagome brought her hands up and covered her mouth. She tried to turn her eyes away from the gruesome sight of her mangled family, but she couldn't.
"See what happened?" A low voice asked from behind her.
Kagome turned around to see a figure in a long, black, hooded cloak.
"What happened to them?" Kagome asked as tears gathered in the corner of her eyes.
"Don't you remember? Their dead." The figure said simply.
Kagome shook her head and fell to her knees. "This can't be." She whispered as she covered her face.
The figure chuckled softly. "Oh, but it is. Infact, you shouldn't be here." It said in a thoughtful tone.
Kagome glanced up, her cheeks stained with her tears. "What do you mean I shouldn't be here?" She asked in a shaky voice.
The figure walked closer to Kagome. "You should have died with your family, Kagome. You cheated death. And death hates to be cheated." It said in a low voice.
Kagome shook her head and buried her face in her hands again. "Do think I ment to cheat death? Do you think I wanted to be left alone with no family?" She asked in a raspy sounding voice.
"Death hates to be cheated, Kagome." The figure repeated itself.
Kagome's body began to trimble. "I never wanted this to happen. I know it was my fault." She cred into her hands.
The figure was now standing in front of Kaogme. "I hate to be cheated, Kagome. and sence you cheated me of your life that day, I'll take something else." It said waved its arm over Kagome.
Kagome lifted her head out of her hands. She couldn't see anything but blackness.
"This is your punishment for letting your die, Kagome. Since they won't ever see this world again, neither will you." She heard the voice say.
**End Dream**
Kagome opened her blind, brown eyes and shook her head. 'That's the fourth time this week.' She thought.
Kagome brought her legs over the side of the bed and she heard a 'thump'. "Huh?" She asked when she ehard it.
Inuyasha, who had been curled up in the sheets around Kagome's legs, was tossed to the floor when Kagome threw her legs over the edge of the bed.
'What was that for, wence?' Inuyasha thought with a small growl.
It took Kagome a moment to realize what the growling sound was. "Sorry, Yasha." She said as she felt around for her walking stick.
Inuyasha just yawned. He watched as Kagome fumbled around, trying to find her walking stick. He looked over to the other side of the room, where she had knocked it last night and sighed. 'I'm being to nice to this wench.' He thoguht as he padded over to it.
He picked it up in his mouth and carried it back over to Kagome. he gently sat on her feet so she could feel it.
Kagome felt something land on her feet and she bent down to see what it was. She reached out her hands and felt her walking stick.
Kagome took it in her hands and stood up. "Thanks, Yasha." She said as she began to walk towards the door.
Inuyasha followed after her. He walked down the hall way and into the kitchen where Kirara was sitting on the table. 'Hey, cat, where do I go to gwt a drink at?' He asked.
Kirara glanced down at him. 'I dunno. My water bowl is over there on the counter and I don't think you can jump up that high.' She said and looked in that direction.
'Feh, stupid cat.' He muttered to himself.
Kirara tilted her hed to the side. 'If I'm so stupid, then why did you ask me?' She asked.
Inuyasha didn't have an answer, so he just ignored her.
Sango came into the kitchen just then. "Good morning, Kaogme. Want some coffee doughnuts?" She asked. Sango was not expecting the answer she got from Kagome.
Kagome srugged her shoulders. "Sure, why not?" She said and sat down.
Sango was a little shocked to say the very least.
This was the first time that Kagome had eating breakfast with her. 'That dog must be doing the trick.' She thought as she glanced down at the dog.
Sango quickly got out two coffee cups and got out the doughnuts.
Inuyasha's nose began to twitch when he smelt the doughnuts.
Kagome accepted the coffee. She reached out a hand, trying to find the doughnut box. When she found it, she pulled out a large glazed doughnut.
Inuyasha stared at the doughnut with hungery eyes.
Kagome could feel someone watching her. "Sango, is Yahsa begging?" She asked and tilted her head to the side so she could hear her friends voice better.
Sango looked down at the white dog and smirked. "Yeah, he is." She said and took a bite out of his doughnut.
Kagome broke a part of her doughnut off and dropped it on the floor for him.
Inuyasha instantly rushed over to it and gobbled it up.
Sango looked at her friend quizically. "Why'd you do that, Kagome? He's got some of Kirara's cat food in a bowl." She said.
Kagome gave a little smile and Sango was once more shocked.
It had been a long time since she had seen her friend smile.
"Because he's not as bad as you think he is, Sango." Kagome replied and ate the rest of her doughnut.
Sango just shook her head and stood up from her seat. "Well, I'm gonna go take a shower." She said and walked out of the kitchen.
Inuyasha, who was no longer hungery, walked over to a nice sunny spot in the living room and laid down to relax. 'I can work on getting turned back to normal later.' He thought as he plopped down.
Kirara walked into the room and looked at him. 'Lazy dog.' She said.
Inuyasha cracked one amber eye opened and glanced at her. 'Stupid cat.' He replied.
Inuyasha was almost asleep when he heard the shower in the bathroom come one and he jumped up.
He suddenly had to use the bathroom. He ran to the door and began scratching at it, trying to get Kagome to let him out.
Kagome walked into the living room. "You don't have to go that badly." She said in a slightly mono toned voice.
'Damn it, I DO have to go!' Inuyasha began to bark insistantly.
Kagome sighed. "'m coming, Yasha, I'm coming." She muttered.
'Hurry up! I have to go NOW!' He barked and began jumping up and down.
When Kagome opened the door, Inuyasha ran out and to the nearest bush he could find.
After he was done doing what dogs do, he calmly walked back into the house.
Kirara was sitting on the back of the couch snickering.
Inuyasha glared over at her. 'Don't say a thing you stupid cat.'
