"Who is she?" he muttered to himself as he ran to his goalie post.
.- That evening -.
Soccer practice ended and Miroku was hitching a ride with Inuyasha. Kagome had Sango over at her house and Souta was out with his girlfriend Kim that night.
Kagome yawned as she spread her self over her sofa.
"Are you sure you don't want me to cook?" Sango asked for a billionth time.
"No man Sango! My friend is coming over and he said he was goi-" as if right on time, Kagome's cell rung. She looked at the number and it said 'Inuyasha calling, answer?'
Kagome grinned as she flipped open the phone.
"Hey!"
On Inuyasha's end, he just dialed Kagome number, it being a big risk since Miroku was in the car. "Hi Sweetheart."
Miroku's head whipped in Inuyasha's direction.
'Now more then ever am I curious to figure out who she is… injured fingers… how many girls had injured fingers in our grade today?'
Only one name screamed in Miroku's head but he was trying to ignore it. 'KAGOME!'
"When are you coming?" Kagome asked him.
"Soon, I'm dropping Miroku off right now."
"Sango's over at my place right now."
"Really? Tell her I said hi."
"HI!" Sango screamed into the phone. Inuyasha laughed. "Funny, anyways I'll be there in half an hour."
"Alright, I'll get Sango out by then."
"OI!" Sango screamed.
"You guys are riots. Anyways, later Sweetheart."
"Bye!" Kagome squealed as she hung up.
(Miroku couldn't hear the convo)
"So was that your friend?" Sango asked Kagome.
"Of course! Who else would it be? Now Sango, I need you to leave in a safe procedure so I can get the stupid house ready for him."
"Now I'm starting to think like Miroku," Sango muttered.
"EW!" Kagome shrieked.
"Well gods help me! Just the way you phrased that sentence Kagome."
"You need to cut back on your Miroku dosage. Anyways, why don't you go out with the poor guy? He's been after you since day one!"
Sango blushed. "He's a hentai."
"A hentai that makes you blush my dear." Kagome pointed out.
"Damn you. Anyway, your mom isn't home and neither is Souta or myself, don't do anything I wouldn't do."
"You mean don't do anything Miroku would do." Kagome winked.
Sango laughed as she got up. She hugged Kagome before leaving.
Just as Sango left Kagome went to get her self a glass of water, her fingers wrapped in bandages.
'At least Inuyasha apologized.' She thought to herself.
She sat back down on the sofa and flicked on the radio using her remote. The song, Whisky Lullaby by Kagome and Inuyasha turned on.
"What are we? The nations top singers?" Kagome muttered to her self as she heard her voice come on. Just then she hear walking on the top floor. She knew it was Inuyasha right away. He usually climbed the Goshinboku at the back of their house and walked in to her bedroom.
"Hey Yashie!" She yelled as he waltzed down the stairs.
"Hi Sweetheart." He grinned as he lightly brushed his lips over hers. Kagome had to pray to the gods she wasn't blushing like a ladybug.
"What's for dinner?" Kagome grinned.
"Ramen, veggies, and curry." Inuyasha smirked as he walked into the kitchen with Kagome hot on his trail.
"Wow yum! You should be the next cook at your place, not Fluffy."
Inuyasha laughed.
Inuyasha started chopping veggies as Kagome sat at the dining table.
"That smells awfully good." She grinned.
"Thanks,"
Finally, after half an hour of chopping, and dicing and mincing, and sautéing, the food was on the stove cooking as Inuyasha and Kagome sat down on the sofa for some alone time. Souta was at Kim's house and Korari was working overtime.
"So," Inuyasha said.
"You notice, Souta's girlfriend and Kikyo have the same last name."
Inuyasha raised a brow. "Hiro? Kim's last name is Hiro?"
Kagome nodded.
"Weird. I'll ask her of some family named Hitomi Kim Hiro."
Kagome laughed. "I love her first name. If I never have a kid, I'm naming her Hitomi."
"And you'll name your son Inuyasha."
Kagome snorted. "As if."
Inuyasha chuckled. "So what are we going to do about our Sleeping Beauty performance?"
"We have everything planned out, and as far as memorizing the lines go, Yashie we're singers, we memorize our lyrics all the time. Some two or three lines for a class play isn't a big deal."
Inuyasha nodded. "And the kiss?"
Kagome sighed as her shoulders slumped. "I'm… not to sure."
"We could just… call it another friendly kiss?" Inuyasha suggested.
Kagome shrugged. "That could work you know. But, I was thinking… it is a Musical Theater course right? Singing is a big issue along with acting… so if we need to sing at any point…" Kagome trailed off.
Inuyasha's eyes widened. "They'll recognize your voice."
Kagome nodded. "Yea."
"You could try and sing differently."
"That could work, only if I haven't used every single damn pitch of my voice for our Hanyou CD."
"What do you mean?"
"I did high pitch, low pitch, regular, squeak… everything you can imagine."
Inuyasha sighed. "I guess you're right. But we'll worry about that later."
Kagome nodded knowing what that meant…
"Chow time."
Inuyasha served up two platters of food as Kagome ate tenderly with her injured hand. Inuyasha saw the faint purple blotches and winced.
"It's my fault eh?" He asked.
"Not really, Sango slammed the locker on my fingers." Kagome smiled.
"But you were mad at me for being mad at you."
Kagome shrugged. "It'll heal."
Inuyasha still looked worried as they continued to eat.
They finished eating and decided to go to bed early. Tomorrow they had to go to school early to practice for their Sleeping Beauty performance in three days.
Kagome yawned as she sat in bed. She waited for Inuyasha to come out of the bathroom. Souta came home already and greeted Inuyasha before going to bed. Since Kagome and Inuyasha grew up together, they got used to sleeping in the same bed if either were to sleep over.
Kagome lay down as Inuyasha settled in beside her. He wrapped an arm around her waist and kissed her cheek.
"Good night Sweetheart,"
"Night Yashie…"
.- Kagome's Dream -.
Kagome dreamt that she was in a fairy tale… the same fairy tale she was going to present to the class. Sleeping Beauty…
However this tale was dark and treacherous. It was twisted and unholy… it was Sleeping Death.
Princess Kagome loved using bows and arrows. On her 16th birthday she was presented with a bow and arrow for archery purposes. However, a curse bestowed upon her was long forgotten after her father, King Akira had died.
"Kagome," said her little brother, Prince Souta.
"Yes?"
"Kaede has a gift for your 16th." Souta said as Kaede stepped out from the bushes.
Kaede was Kagome's trainer. She trained Kagome to use magical powers that inhabited her soul. Kaede handed her the bow and arrow and Kagome released it, it hitting a tree. Souta smiled.
"Great job Kagome,"
"Thanks Souta."
Kagome walked over to get the arrow back put her finger pricked it… and she fell unconscious.
"KAGOME!" Souta screamed…
Kagome then saw herself sleeping in silk sheets as her mother, Korari, brother Souta, her trainer Kaede and her Jii-chan wept for her.
"Kagome!" Souta shook her.
Korari held his hand. "Leave it Souta. How we could have forgotten this curse, I do not know… but I remember that the witch said that a true lovers kiss shall awaken her."
Kaede and Jii-chan ordered all of the Kingdome's men come and kiss Kagome… slowly men kissed her. Kagome saw Hojo, Akitoki, Menomaru, Shippo, Kouga, Ginta, Hakkaku, and lots of others kiss her, but still she did not awake.
Hundreds of years passed and her family died off. Rose vines covered the castle as a fairy, Sango watched over her sleeping body.
Finally, after five hundred years passed, a young prince from a foreign land happened to cross by the castle Kagome slept in.
"My grandfather, Myoga has told me about this," he muttered to himself.
Sango, Kagome's guardian fairy flew in front of him.
"Who are you?" She said.
"Inuyasha Takahashi from the Western Lands." He replied his sword at the battle position.
Sango nodded as she pointed to the vines.
"Many have entered, none of crossed and none have returned. If you can make it through to Princess Kagome and awaken her, you are truly her loved one… but I fear I must warn you. An evil resides in this forest for the past 200 years… a shape shifter named Naraku, I bid you adieu." And Sango flew away.
Inuyasha pulled out his faithful sword, Tetsusaiga as he used attacks upon attacks to cut the vines, however half way through the vines started to clear as he noticed a black castle in the horizon. Inuyasha mounted his two headed creature Ah Un who has been followed him the entire time. Inuyasha looked back to find his fellow knight, Miroku missing
Ah Un flew towards the castle but a barrier blocked him.
"WHO GOES?" Came a booming voice.
"Inuyasha, who are you?" He growled.
"Naraku," He smirked as he appeared out of nowhere.
"What do you want from me?" Inuyasha asked as he dismounted Ah Un with his sword pulled out.
"Your life," Naraku hissed as he took off Inuyasha's head with one strike of his poisonous arm. He laughed as Inuyasha's eyes went dull as it rolled away.
Naraku then formed Inuyasha's appearance as he waltzed into the Castle. Sango appeared in front of him and tried her very best to stop him.
Naraku managed to stun Sango as he went to the tower room where Kagome was sleeping.
"I've been waiting 200 years to find your loved one and now that I have taken his form,"
Naraku leaned forward and kissed Kagome. She awoke, her eyes opened slightly as she noticed a fine looking man in front of her.
Her eyes fully opened as Naraku went back to his real form. Kagome screamed as she pushed her self up against he headboard as Naraku pinned her against it.
"Good morning, Sleeping Beauty," He growled.
"Who are you?" Kagome screamed as Naraku pressed forward, his hot breath splashing against her face.
"Naraku, and I have come…"
He brought his right hand in front of her as his nails grew, "To kill you…" he used his nails and sliced off Kagome's head.
Naraku laughed as he left the castle.
"The Sleeping Beauty is now the Sleeping Dead." He roared as he mounted Ah Un and flew away…
.- End -.
Kagome woke up panting; sweat dripping off of her face as she recalled her dream moments ago. Inuyasha woke up from the movement to see Kagome sitting with her knees pressed against her chest.
"Sweetheart?" He said, his panic rising as he sat up and wrapped an arm around Kagome's shoulder.
Kagome turned and dug her face into his shoulder as she clung onto him, crying her eyes out.
"Sweetheart what happened?" He asked.
"I dreamt… that… Naraku… killed us…" She cried, cutting out the entire Sleeping Beauty theme of it.
Inuyasha cracked his knuckles. "You dreamt that eh?"
"Inuyasha I was so scared… he was kissing me in your body and then transformed into him and took off my head."
That caused Inuyasha's blood boil even further. "Kissing you in MY body?"
Kagome whimpered as she clung onto him even tighter. Inuyasha glanced at the clock and saw it was 2 in the morning.
"Let's get something to drink and you tell me everything,"
Kagome nodded as they went down to have some hot chocolate.
Finally, after preparing it and finishing it, Kagome told Inuyasha her entire dream. Inuyasha nodded and swore a few times throughout but he was a very good listener.
"And he killed me, you and stunned Sango?"
Kagome nodded.
Inuyasha put the cups in the sink and went to hug Kagome. "Shhh," He rubbed her hair.
"It'll be alright," He murmured as he felt her shoulders shake, proving she was crying again.
"He won't get you Kagome, not while I'm around." He murmured as he led her to the sofa. He sat down as Kagome lay down on his lap, a few minutes later she fell asleep.
Korari having heard some noise came down to check it out and saw Kagome and Inuyasha on the sofa.
"Inuyasha?" She whispered as she saw him tense up. He turned around the blew out a breath of relief.
"It's only you,"
Korari nodded. "What happened?"
"Kagome had a bad dream and we came to get hot chocolate."
Korari nodded again. "Alright, want me to take her up for you?"
Inuyasha shook his head. "No, go back to bed."
Korari smiled as she left back to bed. Inuyasha picked Kagome up bridal style and walked back to her bedroom. He lay her in bed and got in after her. He kissed her softly on her forehead before laying down.
'What the fuck is wrong with me? What am I feeling for Kagome? I can't feel these things for my best friend… that's just not right… and besides, I'm dating Kikyo,'
Inuyasha looked back at Kagome's sleeping figure…
'But still,'
Did you enjoy? Hope you liked it! That dream Kagome had, it will come back further along in the story… anyways stay tuned!
