Chapter 14: Dreams
The sunlight was bright today she thought. She stirred from her slumber. She held her pounding head. 'How long have I been sleeping. If you could call it sleep.'
She looked about her. Again she was under the God Tree. She saw a cross from her was a small figure. It was different this time.
It had its back turned to it. Long silver hair that hit the ground, with streaks of a darker silverish grey that ran through it. She could see blue underneath the hair. She watched as the child reached back with a little claw hand and moved strands of hair off their shoulder.
"Kisho?" She her voice barely audible. She watched swearing that she saw something twitch.
"Is that my name?" Their head turned but still Kagome could not see the face.
"I think that will be." Again she saw the twitch. She focused on the child's head, she saw it again. She put her hand to her mouth when she realized what she saw, "Ears??"
"What?" She listened to the voice trying to figure things out. The voice was different today but she could place the change.
"You arent' Kisho are you?"
"Uh?... I don't know who I am yet. But something is happening."
"What is it" The hair on the back of Kagome's neck was raised on end as she looked around.
"They are coming" The child like figure stepped away from the clearing.
"Wait, where are you going?" She did not want to be alone right now.
"To find them don't worry, I will be back."
----
"Where am I this time?" He looked about him saw he was in his bed at home, his home in the future. He shot out of bed and started looking around calling for his mother. No answer came. He sat near the fire pit dejectedly.
"You worry for your future."
Kisho looked about him. He saw no one was there, 'I must be going crazy.'
"No you are perfectly sane, Kisho."
"Ok who are you? This is a dream isn't it? Why am I here?" He was growling low in his chest ready to strike the first thing he saw.
"I have no name. Yes you are in a dream, because I brought you here." He saw a child younger than he was standing with their back turned towards him. He saw the strange mix of light and dark silver hair that flowed to their waist. He also noticed the outline of ears perched on top of their head.
"Why have you brought me here?" He was very curious now about this person.
"Because something is happening, I can feel it, and you should to."
Kisho paused allowed himself to relax and reach out with every part of himself. He could feel a cold shiver wash a cross his body and he allowed his mind to think about the future and what was going to happen when they found his mother. It was something he could quite place.
"Yes, I do. What is it?"
"A change in the stream of time."
"How do you know for sure?" He stepped towards the child, and they took a step keeping the distance.
"Destinies have become entwined. Yours, mine, hers; but we will need their help."
"I don't understand. They who? Her? Are you talking about my mother?" He was getting annoyed at the lack of answers.
"You will understand soon" The small child started walking away. All Kisho could do is stare at her for the longest time. Then she stopped. "Coming?" He watched the ears twitch towards him.
He decided that he had nothing to lose and followed her towards the God Tree.
-----
Inuyasha looked down into the well. "Why am I here? Kagome didn't go back to her time; she is possessed by something here."
He smelled the air, finding nothing amiss he sat down and started pondering the task he decided to undertake.
"You think of distant love, and whispered promises."
Inuyasha jumped up his ears twitching trying to find the location. "Naraku."
"Who?" The voice questioned.
Inuyasha looked towards the sun and saw a small figure walking toward him. He could make out very little. He could see their child-like form, long hair and dog ears that sat on their head.
"Who are you?" He asked remembering he had fallen asleep with the group looking for signs of Kagome.
"Someone who will come into being should you succeed."
"Succeed? You mean getting Kagome's soul back together? Are you..?
"Yes that is needed for me to live. I am who?" The figure turned its back to him.
"Kagome's child." He wasn't sure if he was right, but he couldn't be far off.
"I maybe one day." It started to walked away.
"OI! I want some answers. Where are you going?" He started running after the small figure.
"You will get them uncle. Follow me."
He fallowed the small person. He watched as it shook its head as if it where confused. He didn't say anything just followed, for once keeping his mouth shut.
----
He walked along the corridors, unsure really were he was going. After a few minutes of walking he found himself in the garden. A smile crossed his face as he watched Rin sitting crossed legged underneath a sakura tree, humming a song to a small bundle. His attention was drawn to the two boys who ran up to her.
Sesshoumaru stood deathly still as the image before him faded in to the small of a child. He walked towards the child noticing the small ears. He knelt down in front of it as the child stepped back.
He simply stared at the child, even though he couldn't see its figures, but he felt like he knew the child. Like it was it was part of him.
"I know you." The stoic voice had a hint of emotion as he look at the child.
"Yes" The answer was simple, "You will."
"Are you my child?" He was being was filled with a warmth he could not quite describe. "Are you the one who will be Kisho?"
"Kisho already lives in the stream of time. Fate can not allow another to be born the same."
"So then you are different than he is?"
"I could be different. Something is happening that fate has not planned. Something could destroy me if it is something is not done to insure our lives."
"What is going to happen?" Sesshoumaru almost jump to grab the small form.
"You are not the only one here to find this out father. Others have been brought here for the same reason."
"Others?" How could there be others in his dream. It was not possible. His mind scavenged for an answer, it clasped a hold of the most likely conclusion, "Second Sight." It was more of a thought, not meant to be spoken aloud.
"Perhaps, this way." It started walking away. It stopped a short ways away when Sesshoumaru had not followed. It raised a small hand waving him near.
He rose stopping himself from asking the questions he had in his mind. He focused on following it to where it was leading him.
Sesshoumaru watched in awe as the scenery changed. He had been to this place before it was Inuyasha forest. The child was leading him towards the tree that his brother was pinned to.
He finally entered the clearing and he felt as if he was going to faint. What he saw truly took his breath away.
Sitting underneath the very tree, he saw her. She looked beautiful, nothing like she did when he last saw her. Her eyes where wide and she had tears running down her face as she made her way towards him.
He embraced her, Kagome, his mate. He couldn't believe she was here. He quickly kissed her pulling away to look at her face again. Wiping away the tears that marred her skin, her eyes holding an infinite amount of love.
"How… Where… What…???" He was stammering, he couldn't decide what to do ask questions, or something else. He looked at her questioningly when she stifled a giggle.
"It is nothing", amusement shined in her blue eyes, "but this isn't very lordly is it?"
"I don't care right now."
The two broke apart when they heard someone cough off to the side. Kagome blushed making her about as red as a cherry. Sesshoumaru simply stepped back and gave his brother a look daring him to say something. Yet he didn't, both he and Kisho stood there grinning like mad men.
"What are you two looking at?" Kagome broke them out of their little world. Both had a blush heat their cheeks and it was all Kagome could do, not to start laughing at them. Both muttered nothing and when to site down next to the God Tree.
"Not that I am complaining but how and why are you all here?" She turned to the three of them. All of them looked just as confused as she felt.
"I brought them all here." The small figure appeared behind her.
"Why?" They all seemed to ask at the same moment.
"Because fate has is going to be rushed."
"Ok. So why are we all here." Inuyasha was more than a little curious about this.
"You are all a part of me in some way."
"You called me uncle before, so that means." Inuyasha stopped and Kisho seemed more than able to pick it up.
"Means I am your brother." Things where sort of marking sense but not quite.
"But how can this be. You are supposed to be Kisho right. I mean you're him." Kagome pointed to the boy who she came to know as her son.
"It can't be him." Everyone looked at Sesshoumaru oddly, "He can not be born into this time. He is already here. His soul is here in his body. If he was to be born again, who know what would really happen." His voice was plain
"Yes." The answer was simple yet caused so many other questions.
"So then what will… happen to me?" He felt a great sense of dread asking that question, "Will I just cease to exist?"
"I do not believe so." The light seemed to get brighter around them, "If every thing goes alright then you will live, as well as everyone else."
"How?" Kagome was not slightly confused as to why all this was happening.
"It is not impossible for him to live out his life here. You are planning to do it and you are from the future." The world around them changed so that they where looking at the galaxy from a bird's eye view. "The smallest change in the past will change what will be. The future is uncertain and never written in stone."
"So by my future self sending Kisho back here it changed things that would happen." Kagome looked intently at the child at hand.
"So a new future is being written and played out as we speak" He touched Kagome's shoulders trying to take away he tension.
"So then why are we here?" Kisho understood all this he had a talk with Myouga about this very possibility. So he wanted to move on.
"You can not pull Hiro from us. If you do I will die."
"WHAT DO You MEAN!?" Inuyasha was now on his feet trying to figure out what the hell they where trying to find Kagome for. If they couldn't pull it out.
Then something stuck him 'did it just give that thing a name.' "What did you just call that thing?"
"Hiro." The figured backed away from the upset hanyou not being used to yelling.
Kagome got down on her knees as close as she dared. "Is that his name?" A simple nod was her answer.
"So what are we going to do then? If we can't pull it out then exactly what is our purpose?" Sesshoumaru was equally annoyed but held his annoyance in check.
"Detain it. Bind it so that it has no control. Then when two pieces are whole again and the fated hour arrives undo the binds."
"How will we know?" Kisho was engrossed in what they had to do.
"The dawning will howl." The figure seemed to waver in front of them. "You must find us with in two nights or all hope could be lost. Our time grows near to an end."
The figure before then fell to the ground with a thump. Face to the dirt. Before anyone could reach the fallen child it had vanished. They saw the world before them start to fade to black.
"I will find you." Sesshoumaru was holding her as he faded out of the landscape.
"I know." She whispered unsure if he even heard. Part of Kagome was jumping for joy, and a part of her was afraid for everyone she held dear. Again Kagome sat alone in the darkness of her own mind waiting but this time she held a sliver of hope.
----
Sesshoumaru awoke will a start. He jumped up almost throwing Kisho to the ground before he re-grabbed him. He turned and found Inuyasha staring at him.
"You dreamt it too? Didn't you?" Inuyasha looked his brother in the eye then looked down to a dangling Kisho. Both nodded.
Sesshoumaru then and there decided that everyone had enough rest and the group was woken up. After a quick explanation, and an even faster meal the group was off again hours before the sun made its debut that day.
