Dream a Little Dream
"Is he okay?"
"He's drooling…"
"He looks almost…dead…"
"Inuyasha…"
"Kitty?"
"Not now!"
"Maybe some catnip…"
"Mrow!"
"I wasn't talking to you!"
"Inuyasha! Please wakeup!"
"INUYASHA!"
Inuyasha opened his eyes and the sun glowed brightly into his eyes. He looked around him and the group was playing tag? He stood up confused and looked at everyone.
"Tag! You're it!" Miroku squealed with delight as he tagged Kagome in the butt with his extra arm.
Kagome laughed then started running after Kikyou? "Come back here Sango!"
"No way!" She laughed. She jumped on Kirara who somehow or another turned pink and she flew away…
"Uh…did I miss something?" Inuyasha said. He was wide-eyed and a sweat drop slid down the side of his face.
"Hahaha! That's funny!" He got a hard pat on the back that sent him flying into a hotdog tree. He turned around and started shaking. "What's wrong Inuyasha?"
"SHIPPO!"
"Shippo? My name is Hippo!" The kitsune laughed. Inuyasha stood there very confused. It was Shippo in his same clothes… that didn't quite fit anymore so his midriff was showing and his pants went up to his knees while his shirt went to his elbows.
"I must be sleeping…" He groaned. He slapped his cheeks hard and he could feel the pain.
"Did he just slap himself?"
"HAHAHA!"
"Kazuki you dope!"
"Huh?" Inuyasha yelped as he looked around vigorously. "Guys? Did you hear that?" He shook his head and panted. "What's going on?"
"What's wrong with him?" Kazuki asked. Inuyasha looked at him and fell down. Kazuki frowned and growled, "Why does he always act this way?" Inuyasha stared at Kazuki; He had black wavy hair and purple eyes, almost like Naraku's. "Idiot…"
"Be nice Kazuki!" Kagome snapped. She smiled at Inuyasha and he fell backwards again. She was Kikyou, only with Kagome's clothes! "We better get going! Has anyone seen Kanosuke or Senshin?"
"Here I am that I am!" A man who looked like Kenshin said. He had brown spiky hair and Sanosuke clothes.
"Where did Sango go?" Another man said. This one looked like Sanosuke except he had long red hair and Kenshin's clothes on.
Miroku walked up and sighed, "She went for a ride with Kirara. Perhaps we should go on ahead…" Inuyasha now saw he had more than three arms. He stared at the six arms in sheer horror. "Are you feeling okay Inuyasha? You're sweating."
"Inuyasha!"
"Get him some water!"
"Where's that stupid first aid kit!"
"Why is his foot so swelled up…"
"Would you help Kazuki!"
"Sorry! Yeesh…I just didn't know purple was in this season…"
"Huh?"
The group stared at him then they all sighed loudly. Sango and Kirara came back and now Kirara was reddish orange. They all started walking towards a castle and Inuyasha followed. Inuyasha wasn't quite sure what was going on. What was real and what wasn't? Reality is such a fickle thing. They came along a large clearing in the forest in front of the clearing there stood a chibi Sesshomaru, an over-sized Jaken, and a…poodle?
"Brother, it is time to fight!" Chibi Sesshomaru declared. The poodle yelped and Inuyasha just stood there staring dumbfounded. Sesshomaru unsheathed a huge sword about ten times its normal size.
"Let me fight him si…sire…" Jaken hissed. Inuyasha couldn't help but notice a slight lisp. Jaken got into a fighting position and charged. Inuyasha screamed as he realized that Jaken was growing bigger, and not just from getting closer. He was now about the size of a small castle. Inuyasha ran and ran. He kept passing the group over and over. Jaken was now catching up; he had no choice but to use the Tetsuseiga.
He withdrew the sword and…
"Hey! Not so hard!" It whined.
He dropped the sword and stared at it. "What…the…hell…"
"Hey! Dumb ass! You have some fat toad chasing you! Don't you think it's time to use me? Just not so hard damn it!"
He reached for the sword and swung it as hard as he could at the toad. Jaken screamed and was no more. He had literally vanished. Out of nowhere a sexy elven woman appeared in front of him. "Who the hell are you?"
"My name is Jaken…thank you for breaking the curse…" She said seductively then kissed him on the nose and flew off.
He wiped his nose frantically trying to get the image of Jaken kissing him out of his head. His thoughts were disrupted when a sword came two inches to his face. He looked in front of him and could see chibi Sesshomaru 50 feet away.
"Damn! Not quite long enough!" He shouted. He took two inches forward and pricked Inuyasha in the nose.
"His nose is bleeding!"
"How did that happen?"
"Just keep moving!"
"Who's Kaede?"
"A friend, she'll know what to do!"
"Dude! He's got puke and blood coming from the mouth…"
"Hurry!"
Inuyasha growled and grabbed the sword and started swinging it like a propeller. Sesshomaru let out a shrill scream as he was launched into the sun. The sword disappeared from Inuyasha's hands and he now held the Tetsuseiga again. He looked at his group and growled, "Why didn't any of you help me!" He screamed.
"We were to busy watching Kagura make a giant tornado…" Miroku pointed to a swirling tornado of color.
"Kirara! Get me closer!" He ordered the cat demon, which was now a green color. The cat demon jumped to his side and he jumped on.
"He's pale and shaking!"
'Why is he so cold?"
"Inuyasha! Please be okay!"
"Lay him down child."
"Please…don't leave me…"
The tornado flung him and the cat demon back at the group sending them all flying into another hotdog tree. Miroku stood up and looked at the group.
"I have to stop it myself…Please, stay away…"
"No Miroku!" Sango jumped up and hugged him. He hugged her back then pushed her aside.
"Farewell…" He charged at the tornado at lightening speed and held out his arms, all six of them. "Wind Portal!" A giant tunnel appeared and then there was nothing.
"No…" Sango cried. "MIROKU!" She screamed.
There was a silver flash then Kanosuke and Senshin lay on the ground in piles of green blood…
"His has green in it…?"
"He has been poisoned!"
"Nice job Kenshin!"
"Oro?"
"Well, he said he smelt something in YOUR food!"
"Knock it off Kazuki!"
"Whatever…"
"His pupils are dilating and contracting."
"Wake up! Please!"
"Kohaku!" Sango shouted. Her brother stood before them. He looked normal except he had demonic features like fangs and red eyes. Kirara who had turned blue attacked Kohaku chucking him into a rock. He struck Kirara and she lay there bleeding. "Kohaku! I cannot allow you to kill anymore!" She charged and there was nothing.
"Sango! No!" Kagome screamed. She dropped to her knees and began crying. The mysteriously well cat demon walked up to her and licked her face. "Let's go guys…" She sounded angry and determined. Kazuki nodded his head and followed. The castle was drawing closer and closer.
Koga jumped in front of the group and growled. He transformed into a wolf and charge at Hippo. "You will die fox!"
Hippo transformed into a fox and charged the wolf. They clashed heads and fell back. "Guys! Go on ahead!" Hippo ordered. They did as he said and they headed towards the castle. Inuyasha looked behind him and could see the fox now in back to his adult form lying in a pool of blood and beside him lay Koga.
"Inuyasha! Don't slow down! We must move forward!" Kazuki growled.
"But…"
"Quiet!"
He snapped his mouth shut and the group moved forward. He stared at Kirara who had turned a dark blue. They stopped when they came upon a large room. It looked almost like a wedding ceremony He looked at his comrades and saw that Kagome and Kazuki were wearing wedding clothes. Then it happened, they kissed. He stood there in shock as their lips met and they embraced each other. All of a sudden they were on the floor in bloody corpses, or at least Kagome was. Kazuki laughed mockingly and glared at Inuyasha.
"He's crying?"
"It's blood and poison, not tears."
"Make it dumb ass!"
"What's wrong with him…"
"Inuyasha…"
Inuyasha growled and stared at Kazuki. Kazuki continued to laugh. "What's the matter Inuyasha? Didn't you trust me?"
"I never trusted you!"
"You let me near Kagome didn't you?"
"Shut up!" He charged at Kazuki and slashed him with the Tetsuseiga. It didn't even faze him though he did start to bleed a purple color. Inuyasha jumped on Kirara who also turned Purple. "How dare you! You traitor!"
"Me? The traitor? Please, don't make me laugh…" He did laugh and smiled slyly. "You're the one who let me live, you should have killed me the first time we laid eyes on each other. Hell, I almost killed Sota…"
"YOU BASTARD!" He charged again and more blood spurt from him and streams of dark purple.
He laughed some more then grinned, "You let me come close Inuyasha. It's all your fault! They're all dead! All of them! Even Kagome! Even Kirara…" Kazuki extended his arm and sliced Kirara through the chest. She started slowly turning black.
"If only you would have stayed pinned to that tree…Kagome would be safe…she would be alive…"
"I'm tired of listening to you!" Inuyasha made continuous blows at Kazuki but it he only bled, his blood getting darker and darker by the second.
"Inuyasha…die…" Then he saw nothing but darkness.
"Inuyasha!"
"Please! Inuyasha!"
"Don't leave us!"
"Come on! You can make it!"
"Don't give up!"
"Inuyasha…I…I…please…I need you…"
"Do something ye old bag!"
"Silence! He's been poisoned and cursed, there's nothing we can do…"
"Salali, come here…" Naraku sat in his castle watching the window. A woman with light brown hair and yellow eyes came into the room. She wore a red short dress with armor made of leather on it. She held her pet rat and stroked its soft white fur.
"Yes Master?"
"What was the cure for that curse again?" He asked in a bored tone.
"Well, the only cure is made from my blood of course. Or he could simply kill the creature that gave him the curse. Why?"
"Can I see this 'creature'?" He looked at her uninterestingly.
"Of course…" She whistled and in came in the mouse. She ordered the mouse to go to Naraku and it went over to him sniffing him.
"Thank you…but no thanks…" In one swipe the mouse was decapitated. Salali eyes were wide and her mouth hung open, she was shaking lightly. "I don't want him to die by poison. I want him to die by…never mind, just keep an eye on them."
"Y…yes sir." She left the room disturbed.
"Is he dead…He's not moving anymore…" "He's starting to look normal!""Inuyasha!"
An overexcited Kagome hugged him. He softly hugged back dumbfounded still. He looked from face to face until he met Kazuki's.
"What happened…I thought I was dead."
"Well, my well groomed friend." Kazuki said nodding at his bloody attire. "Somehow or another you were poisoned."
Inuyasha growled softly and looked at Kagome. "Did Kazuki touch the food at all that Kenshin made?"
"What?"
"Answer me damn it!"
She winced at his sudden change in tone. "Well, I don't think so, the only ones who came near the food were me, Kenshin, Miroku, Shippo, and of course you."
Kazuki stopped and then started grinning and chuckling. "Isn't this great? He's blaming me for his little episode." He shook his head still smiling. "Really now, why me?" Kazuki eyes became cold suddenly and he punched a wall making a small crack in it. "If you don't trust me then fine, I don't really care." He stormed out of the hut shouting back, "I'm going for a walk!"
When Inuyasha left Kenshin looked at Inuyasha suspiciously. "Why did you think it was him? Maybe it was just my cooking that got to you."
"I doubt it was even that, it was probably just bad to begin with." Sango stated. Miroku nodded in agreement.
"Besides Inuyasha, while you were out Kazuki even tried to suck out the poison!" Shippo said as he jumped on the demon's stomach.
"He what?" He asked confused.
"He said he saw it from a….mo…vie?" Shippo looked at Kagome for clarification and she nodded.
"Wait? Where'd he try to suck it from?" He yelped.
"You're toe…" Miroku said scratching his head.
"Wait? My toe…my toe! That damn mouse! It must've been sick!" Inuyasha declared.
"Come on, we better go find Kazuki…" Kagome said worriedly.
