Nightmares Witness Futures

Chapter One

Is it to be?

It was a dark night, the stars shone brightly as Kagome gazed upon them through the trees as she rested in her sleeping bag. She shifted her gaze to the campsite around her. Shippo lay cuddled beside her, once in a while his tail would twitch, and a mumbling, followed by snoring, which made Kagome smile lovingly at him.

'He looks at me like a mother, and I am honored to have him as my son.' Kagome smiled to herself. She looked beyond Shippo towards the sleeping forms across from the fire. There rested Sango's and Miroku's sleeping forms along with Kirara, who was curled up against Sango's chest.

Kagome lied there, feeling happy that she had people she cared for. Sango had become like a protective, older sister, while Miroku, like a perverted, lecherous, older brother. Kagome had to smile to herself, even though Sango denied ever liking Miroku, she knew Sango loved him. While Miroku 'touched' other women, somehow Kagome knew he only did it to get Sango jealous. Actually now that she thought about it, Miroku hadn't really gone after any other woman, except Sango, for weeks.

'I wonder how long it will be before I have a niece!' Kagome giggled to herself, although quietly as to not wake the others.

Kagome looked around the camp once more, looking for the one she secretly loved with all her heart. Her heart fell when she didn't find him. Her eyes drifted toward the night sky, where she caught sight of the soul stealers she was expecting to see, fly across the sky. She knew where he went, he went to see her. InuYasha, the man who unknowingly stole her heart, went to see Kagome's own incarnation. InuYasha's first love, Kikyo.

Kagome's smile faded as she recalled many occasions where Kikyo tried to drag InuYasha to hell with her, and when Kikyo tried so many times to kill Kagome. Yet no matter what, InuYasha kept going back to her.

As memories continued to flash before her eyes, a single tear ran down her cheek. Kagome slipped out of her sleeping bag, trying not to disturb the little kitsune. She walked out of the small clearing of the camp into the forest, though stopping abruptly. She hesitated whether going to the scene that she knew would break her heart, or stay at the camp where her heart will ache.

'I know it's spying but I… I have to realize the fact that he will never love me. Maybe I should just end it now. Let InuYasha have Kikyo help him find the jewel shards, that way… he and I can get on with our lives. He can wish K-Kikyo back to life when the jewel is finished…. And I… I can go back to my era and hopefully move on with my life.' Not.

With her mind made up, Kagome set out, following the direction at which the soul stealers went.

Kagome walked a little ways before coming to a clearing. There she saw the sight that made her heart drop. Surrounded by the ghostly soul stealers were InuYasha and Kikyo in a loving embrace, each seeming complete now that they were together. Kagome didn't realize she was crying until she put a hand to her cheek.

'I need to get over him and stop the tears.' Kagome stood up, although still making sure she couldn't be seen, and was about to walk back to the camp when she heard the voice she really didn't want to hear at that moment.

"Kagome…" Kagome froze as she registered whose voice that was. She turned around to find InuYasha standing only a few feet away from her. As she looked into his eyes, she could feel a sense of realization, of determination, that somewhat confused her.

"Kagome." This time it was Kikyo's turn to speak. "It is time you return from whence you came."

Kagome looked from InuYasha to Kikyo with a shocked expression.

"But…" Kagome tried desperately to say something but she was too stunned to get anything out. "I don't want to return to my era yet!" Kagome cried after finally finding her voice.

InuYasha began to step forward.

"That's not what she meant Kagome." As InuYasha came closer, Kagome could only stand in place with her face showing confusion. Then in the coldest voice she ever heard InuYasha use, InuYasha answered the screaming questions that were flooding Kagome's head. Though it was not the answer she wanted to hear.

"It's time you give Kikyo back her soul, all of it." Kagome gasped as she registered what InuYasha was saying.

"No… you, you can't mean that InuYasha… I-I'm your friend!" Kagome's face was streaked with tears.

"Feh." InuYasha scoffed, turning his head. "The only reason I let you live this long was because you can see the jewel shards, and also, you just reminded me of Kikyo. My true love." Kagome's heart broke. "Fool, we were never friends."

Kagome didn't realize that while InuYasha was talking to her, Kikyo was notching an arrow in her bow, readying it to fly towards its destination. Kagome's heart.

InuYasha moved aside to give Kagome a view of Kikyo who now had her bow and arrow ready.

Kagome was ready to turn around and run when a hand grabbed her arm, holding her in place.

"One more thing." InuYasha replied with a smirk, tightening his grip on her wrist until his claws caused her to bleed. "I believe this belongs to us." He said while reaching toward her chest and snatching the remaining jewel shards Kagome had.

And with that, he shoved her out of the way, and before Kagome could react, she felt pain through her chest. She looked down at the arrow that had now pierced her heart.

Kagome looked up, her vision becoming black and blurry. The last thing she saw left her broken. InuYasha had his arms around Kikyo's waist, while smiling at Kagome before everything went black.

"NOOO!"

"NOOO!" Kagome's eyes sprung open, sweat was visible on her face, eyes blurred with tears. Kagome wiped her eyes before she looked at her surroundings. Shippo was curled next to her, him, Sango, Miroku, and Kirara all still asleep.

'But what about…' Kagome turned her gaze to the trees, desperately searching the hanyou. All she saw were vacant trees. Worries began to cloud Kagome's mind.

'Was it all a dream? Or was it a premonition?' Either way, Kagome was too frightened to find out anything.

Kagome slowly stood up. 'Would InuYasha really k-kill me? Does he realize that he's my friend, that I'm his friend?' Kagome wasn't sure if she wanted any of those questions answered. She began walking towards the area at which her nightmare indicated, but soon stopped.

'No… what if what happened in my dream is what is to come!' Her eyes stung from unshed tears, as she remembered her vision. She couldn't shake the look of coldness that InuYasha had shown her. How worthless she felt when standing at his feet.

She couldn't bear to know if it was true or not. Suddenly there was rustling behind her. When she sprinted the other way, it wasn't because she was scared, she just didn't want to deal with what she knew was a demon. She ran and ran and ran, past the campsite where the others rested, running through the trees. She didn't know where she was going, all she could think of was wanting to get away.

When she stopped, she realized she was at the God Tree where she first met InuYasha and freed him from Kikyo's spell. She and the others had camped not too far from the village. Kagome figured she would come here. If she went to the village or down the well, she would be asked questions she would rather not answer at the moment.

She couldn't take it anymore, were her dreams telling her what is to happen? Did InuYasha really not care for her at all? There was only one thing Kagome knew she wanted to do just then. She sat down at the base of the God Tree, and cried. She didn't care if anyone came and saw her, not that anyone would, for it was past midnight.

It seemed like hours before Kagome finally stopped crying. Her eyes were red and puffy from sobbing, and her cheeks were streaked with tears.

"You baka!" Kagome inwardly groaned as she recognized the male, gruff voice. "What are you doing out here alone?" InuYasha asked as he stomped towards Kagome to get a better look at her. He sniffed the air and smelt water and salt. 'Tears?'

"Kagome what's with the tears?" InuYasha asked more softly this time.

Kagome looked up, she was shocked that he seemed to be worried about her. She was even more shocked when she looked at his face. His face and eyes showed worry.

"I'm fine InuYasha." Kagome said with a small smile.

"Fine my ass! You run out alone when a demon could have killed you!" InuYasha yelled, his fists at his side. Kagome turned her head to keep InuYasha from seeing her small smile.

'Maybe he does care about me!' Kagome thought happily to herself.

"Plus!" InuYasha yelled, indicating he was not yet finished. "We could have lost the jewel to some demon!" Immediately Kagome's smile vanished. 'Maybe not.'

InuYasha saw her frown and knew that he had said the wrong thing.

Kagome sadly got on to her feet and began walking slowly towards the campsite. Her head was swimming with thoughts, all coming back to what InuYasha thought of her.

'Well that explains his concern, he was only worried about the jewel.' Kagome thought angrily, though had her head down in sadness, while InuYasha walked behind her, but kept some distance between them.

'He wouldn't care if I died! As long as he had his precious jewel!'Tears stung her eyes and threatened to fall, but she wouldn't let them, not while InuYasha was there, he would just insult her even more. Her eyes became more blurry.

'No! I will not let them fall, I have to be strong!' Kagome thought to herself as she continued walking.

Meanwhile InuYasha was walking behind her, keeping a close eye on her, wondering what made her so sad. Suddenly his nose caught a familiar salty scent.

'Tears again? Only there faint, meaning Kagome is not letting them fall… What is she hiding? What happend to her'
