Nightmare
Chapter 2
By: Assassin-Girl
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Inuyasha characters. The story is authentic, and I promise that I didn't steal from anyone."Why Inuyasha? Why? Why are you leaving?"
That haunting melodic voice keeps on coming back to me. I don't know who she is and her voice sounds so sad. But at the same time it brings chills up my back and I retreat like a beaten puppy. That's ironic isn't it? Inuyasha, dog demon, or so she called me. And it's also my present name. Is it mere coincidence that her voice is like an imitation of those chilling notes from my nightmares?
The alarm went off as usual. But Inuyasha didn't wake up like he would normally. He sluggishly sat up and rubbed his eyes. Fatigue wore him down and felt like he was watching world like it was "The Matrix". Everything was so slow in his mind that he just didn't think that he was even in the real world. Like he was enchanted.
"WAKE UP!"
Inuyasha snapped awake. There was no one there.
"I forgot," he murmured. "I live alone."
This morning he was twice as slow. It took him an hour to take a shower, forty more minutes than he normally used, and also making him late. It took him ten minutes to brush his teeth: eight more minutes; ten to try and then quit making his long hair untangled: nine minutes more; six to put on his shoes: five minutes and fifty minutes more; and so on.
When Inuyasha finally arrived at school, first period was over and he got insulted in front of the other students. He just didn't have enough energy to try or even want to argue back, and he got off the hook five minutes earlier.
At least I saved some time, he thought to himself as he took his seat. He closed his eyes and slept through the whole next period.
"Why! Why did you do this to me? Why am I always at fault? Why did you try to kill me!"What are you talking about? Inuyasha thought to himself. I've never tried to kill anyone in my life. Check my juvenile record, there's nothing there. Well, maybe except for that one time with the fireworks...
"You didn't have to go that far! If you hated me that much, you could've at least told me your true feelings!"
Stop talking lady, I'm tired of listening to your problems, he thought grumpily. With the way you are, no sane many would ever tell you, or else they'd probably be stabbed by now.
"I hate you! I hate you! I hate you! I wish you and your happiness dead!"
Geh, lady, I'm not happy. Not one bit.
"If you're so unhappy, then join me --"
"INUYASHA!"
"INUYASHA! Wake up! You lumpy head! Idiot! You're gonna get in trouble! The teacher's coming!""Huhn?" Inuyasha lifted his head sleepily, then wincing against the bright light. He opened his eyes only fast enough to close them as he saw the blackboard eraser heading for his head.
Oomph! it said as it fell to the floor.
"Inuyasha..." the teacher said thunderously overboard.
Uh-oh, problems! "Ya?" he asked.
"Use proper language young man! Take pride in your culture's literature! How dare you fall asleep once again in my class?" The teacher's face darkened with every single line.
Another lecture, Inuyasha thought. Damn these teachers, this is what they come to do everyday. Making my life miserable.
Kagome watched Inuyasha worriedly. She wasn't sure what was wrong, but Inuyasha was obviously having a problem. Today he was late to come to school, he sounded grumpy when she tried to talk to him, he also ignored her at first, he went to sleep as soon as he sat down, and now he was attracting problems to himself. And he didn't seem happy. Not one bit. She wondered if it was those nightmares that he kept on saying was no problem.
I wonder what's wrong, she thought. She chewed on her pencil's eraser. The spit it out.
Their literature teacher, who was always on the look out for trouble, had her senses ready.
"Young lady! How dare you spit in my class!"
Kagome ignored her and glanced at Inuyasha. His face was turned towards the window and all she saw was that long hair down his back.
Good, she thought with relief.
Short, and took a long long time, but I finally added a chapter. Amazing isn't it? Reviews anyone? By the way, as I continue each chapter, it's going to be going back in time in Inuyasha's nightmares. So be on the look out. Thanks for reading!
