The Sleep of a Thousand Deaths


"Be it better to die then lie in a sleep of a thousand
deaths, never to wake, living in a realm of hatred and
sorrow where your nightmares become reality..."



Chapter 1: A heated argument


It was a beautiful autumn day. The trees were full of crisp autumn leaves of brown and yellow. On the street below a young girl of about 15 was walking, taking in the peaceful quite air of this beautiful day. She sighed, thinking to herself 'I can't be doing this! I'll be late for school!' She quickened her pace. A shadowy figure perched in one of the trees watched the young girl as she walked away.

"I have finally found you," he murmured softly with a hint of anger in his voice.

He jumped down from the tree and landed lightly on his feet, his long silver hair floating down behind him, careful not to make a noise. He glided silently behind the young girl as a predator stalks its prey; he got closer and closer and closer…..(kinda like watching the discovery channel isn't it?)

"Kagome!" he yelled in her ear.

The girl screamed as she jumped about five feet off the ground. She turned around and when she saw who it was….

"Sit boy!" (Damn I am using a lot of exclamation points aren't I?)

The boy slammed into the ground creating a dent in the sidewalk.

"What the hell was that for!" he snarled at her.

"That," she said, "was for scaring me."

Kagome turned around and started walking away again.

"Hey Kagome wait! You're going the wrong way!" (See what I mean with the exclamation marks)

She stopped but didn't turn.

"For your information, Inuyasha, I happen to be going in the correct direction!"
(AHHHHHH NOOOO!!!! THE EXCALMATION MARKS FROM HELL!)




"But the wells this way"

(Kagome: But I thought the well was that way)

"It's Monday and I have to go to school!"

"No" he said starting to get up off the ground,(yep he was on the ground during this little conversation until now...how pathetic.....) " We are going back to find the rest of the shards of the shikon jewel!" (inside Inuyasha's mind: So we can try to take over the world!! They're pinky and the brain brain brain brain!)

"Look you!" Kagome yelled at him while turning to face him. " its your fault that I have been missing so much school in the first place!"(*Inuyasha does little victory dance at this point for no apparent reason*)

"Well bitch, you shouldn't even be wasting time at that school! You should be doing your job and go find some more shards!"

Those words cut deep into her like a knife. Tears started to fall down her face as she said…

"Is that all I am to Inuyasha? Just a tool to help you find more jewel shards?"

'Wait is she…………..She's crying', Inuyasha thought with wonder. 'What did I say?'

"Kagome why are you crying?" (notice how clueless he is….don't worry he is always this way)

"What does it matter to you! According to you I am just a tool! Goodbye Inuyasha!"

Kagome started to run away but Inuyasha easily caught up to her.

"Kagome please wait!"
(I don't know why but this scene reminds me of that song from the movie Titanic)
"Inuyasha stop following me!"

he stopped and for a moment Kagome thought she saw a hurt expression in his eyes but then his face hardened and he said……..

"Fine bitch! It's not like I care or anything anyways!"

He paused for a moment after saying this as if expecting Kagome to speak in response. But after only hearing silence from her he walked away. Kagome turned around and walked in the opposite direction.

"Baka," she whispered, "So he doesn't care about me……." 'Wait a minute!' She thought, 'Why do I care about what he thinks.'


But she knew the answer. She had always known but had buried it deep in her heart unwilling to admit it to herself. Kagome realized what she was doing and quickly pulled herself back to reality. She looked around her taking in the scenery of her current location. Apparently she had walked into an alley without realizing it as ahe had been caught up in her own little world.( I do that sometimes....Like once I was caught up in my own little world and found myself in the middle of the desert in japan then I realized that there are no deserts in japan so I....)

After looking around for a few more minutes she spied another alley which seemed to lead back out into the street. She started traveling down it when her way was blocked by a group of boys a few years older than herself.

"Hey baby where ya going?" one of them cooed at her.(ewww...its Andy the dumbass! A guy in my school)

She ignored him and continued on her way trying to walk past them. But another one caught her around the waist and held her close to him. She started to scream but her mouth was clamped shut. (Like a clam..tehehehehehehehehe......)

"Hey lets not be haven't any of that now. If you do exactly what we say then we won't hurt you………much."

The group of boys started laughing. A sudden fear gripped Kagome and she started to struggle trying to free herself from her captor. It didn't work. His hold on her was like one of iron. She searched her brain frantically for a plan, an idea, something. A brilliant idea struck her. She opened her mouth and bit the hand that was clamped over it. The man let out a yelp like an injured animal and let go of her cradling his injured hand.
The rest of the boys crowded around him looking on with concern.

"How deep is it?"

"Is it infected?"

"Maybe the girl's got rabies" they whispered among each other nervously.

She saw this as her big chance. She bolted running as fast as she could down the alley. But unfortunately one of the boys perked up his head and saw her mad flight.

"Hey she's getting away!" he yelled.

Kagome heard them chasing after her. One of them caught up to her, tackled her, and pinned her down. She closed her eyes in fear and in terroe. They turned her over onto her back and she slowly opened her eyes. She saw a man apparently the boss, also the man whose hand she had bitten, looming over her.

"Now bitch, you are going to pay."



The man got on top of her and started pawing at her clothing ripping open her shirt in the process. Then the hands went lower and moves up her skirt. Kagome bit her lip as tears silently moved down her face.

'Inuyasha' she pleaded in her mind. 'help me………'


'Please……………'






Meanwhile…………..





'Stupid girl' Inuyasha thought angrily, as he was jumping from tree to tree back n the direction of Kagome's house and the well.

'Anyways it's not like I don't care for her, I mean ………I do ………I guess……Oh don't know! I mean sometimes she is so annoying! But then other times she could actually be someone you could enjoy being around.'

He remembered the first time he visited her bedroom when she was asleep. He remembered him being crouched on the end of her bed watching her still form in it , thinking how cute she was when she was asleep………

'Wait! I know that scent!' he paused on a low hanging tree branch sniffing the air cautiously. (He has SUPER HUMAN SMELLING POWER!!!!!!!!!)

"It's Kagome! And she's in trouble!!!"
