(Chapter 1: Memories)

Inuyasha woke with a start, sweating and panting softly. Disoriented he looked around his cabin before reanozing him and whispering to himself, "Fuck, it was only a goddammit dream. But...it seems so familiar...Oh wait a moment! It wasn't just a dream. I remember now...Kikyou...it was so long ago..." Then he remembered. "Then that news! Not even a week after her ship left I found out it had fucking been attacked by fucking pirates and sunk and no one had survived but...Kikyou's body had never been found...maybe...maybe she could be alive still...waiting for me to find her..."

Just then a knock at the door interupted Inuyasha's musing and his dog ears flattened against his head as he snarled out, "Yes? Who is it?"

"Sorry to wake you Captain Inuyasha but we are about to set sail and you told me to wake you so you could dock the ship before it sets sail," Shipou called outside the door and, not waiting for a response, left.

Growling moodaly to himself Inuyasha got to dressing himself. Today was going to be a long, long day.
