Kagome's room was very pleasant, a lot more neater than Kami's. "How do you manage to keep your stuff so organized?" "Well, I don't like messy places.." However, their conversation was cut short when a blur of red whizzed past them both. Kami had a shocked expression, at both the thing that just went by, and Kagome's sudden change in emotion. "INUYASHA!" She yelled, "SIT!" Suddenly a thump was heard from down the hall. A boy walked in while rubbing his head. Kami dropped her backpack and clasped one of her hands over her mouth. "Wench, what was that for! I only came because you're wasting everyone's time while we try to find Naraku!" The boy named Inuyasha yelled. 'Naraku? Sounds familiar..' Kami thought, though she was still marveling at the fact that he had white hair, had golden-colored eyes, and ears. Especially the ears. "Err.. Kami.. This is.. Inuyasha, he's-" "a demon." Kami murmured, still staring at Inuyasha. Kagome and Inuyasha both looked shocked. "Uhh, no, his ears are just fake, and he's wearing-" "No, Kagome, I know. He's an inu-youkai." Kami gaped at what she had said. 'Wait, how did I know that? I don't even know anything about demons!' Kagome gaped at Kami. "H-how do you know!" Kagome gasped, as Inuyasha stared suspiciously at Kami. "Wait a second, you don't smell completely.. Human.." "Honestly, I have no idea what.. 'Inuyasha' here is talking about. I'm a regular human girl." Kami pleaded, but Inuyasha narrowed his eyes. "Kagome, who is this girl, anyway? Is she a demon?" Kagome widened her eyes in fear. "No, Inuyasha! She's a new student at my sch-" "She might be a demon in disguise," he said again, sniffing Kami once more. "STOP it, Inuyasha! She's not a demon! What would she be doing in this world, anyway, if she were a demon?" Inuyasha thought for a moment. "Maybe Naraku found a way to send his incarnations to this era!" Inuyasha said in a disgusted tone. "Woah, wait a minute, WHO'S this Naraku? You both keep mentioning him," Kami said, crossing her arms and boldly staring at Inuyasha and then glancing to Kagome. Kagome sighed. "Inuyasha, should we tell her? I mean, she already knows you're a demon, so she shouldn't be too surprised about Naraku.." Inuyasha scoffed. "Yeah, as if you wouldn't know about him, especially if you're one of his-" "Really, Inuyasha. Just think about it for a minute. You keep convincing yourself that I'm a demon, even though I don't exactly 'smell like one'. What intentions would I have of denying I am a demon if I were one?" "Kami's right, Inuyasha, we should tell her." Inuyasha finally sighed in defeat. After Inuyasha and Kagome told her the story, Kami's brain seemed to have overloaded. "So, Naraku's an evil half-demon, and.. There's another world that's called.. The Feudal Era?" Kagome nodded, seeming embarrassed. ".. Can I come?" Kagome and Inuyasha suddenly looked shocked, but recovered quickly. "Er-no, Kami-it's very dangerous, and only I can get in the well, really.. It's weird. I'm sorry, Kami.." Inuyasha sighed in relief but stared at a piece of Kagome's wall that he seemed to find very interesting when Kami glared at him. "Kagome, we'll see you tomorrow morning-don't be late like last time," Inuyasha swiftly jumped out of Kagome's window and his red figure was soon unnoticeable in the night. "Well there go my tests I've been studying for," Kagome sighed, and sat on her bed, propping her head up with a pillow. "No offense, Kagome, but Inuyasha is an asshole. Why do you keep helping him with stuff and sacrifice so much for something you don't even want?" Kagome sighed once more. 'Because I love him.' "Because I owe him. I shattered the Shikon Jewel and now I need to help him find it.."
Kagome yawned.
"I'm kind of
tired after this long conversation-is it okay if we sleep a little
early?"
"Yeah, you'll be needing the sleep since you're
waking up early tomorrow." Kami murmured, then turned off the
light.
Kami was in a beautiful, lush forest. She could hear animals calling to one another from place to place, from tree to tree. 'Why do I feel different?' She thought, but everything seemed to be a blur. Her thoughts, her surroundings.. She didn't protest to why she was here or where she was, but she slowly accepted it. "Over there! Catch her!" A familiar sounding man yelled to someone else, which Kami soon found out was another man. "I see her! Get ready for the traps!" Kami suddenly felt adrenaline pulse through her body as she propelled herself forward, willing herself to run. She seemed to run faster than she had ever run before until she felt a sharp pain in her left leg and found that she was unable to move. "Yes, we have the kyuubi-now hurry and get her!" Kami felt sheer terror and.. Pain. It wasn't physical pain, but it seemed to come from within her soul. She suddenly spotted a skull on the ground near her, and instinctively slipped it over her head. She felt regret but knew this was her only option. She squeezed her eyes shut as she felt pain erupt all over her body.
"Kami, wake up!" Kami awoke to see a very worried Kagome shaking her by her shoulders. "You've been screaming! It was horrible," Kagome said in a sympathetic voice. "I'm all right.. I just had a strange.. Dream." She tried to recall the events of that dream but found she could only call back the immense pain she had felt. She shook it off and combed her fingers through her long, black hair. Kagome still seemed more worried than relieved, but she let it go and stood up. "I'm going to go to Inuyasha now.. My mom knows about everything, so I'm sorry for leaving you-" "It's okay, Kagome." said Kami quietly. "I'll see you in a few days-or a week or two." Kami gave a reassuring smile to Kagome as she headed out the door. The door closed. "What the hell was that dream about?" she asked herself quietly.
