Hi! The beginning of this chapter is kinda sad. I would like to thank Dark Mimiru-Chan for giving me the idea for the beginning of the story. If you were wondering words like 'this' are kinda like the past or what the person is thinking subconsciously. The words like 'this' are what the present person is thinking. Just a clarifying things. Now, for the reviewers:

Liizziioo: Yeah, Yami does rocks. And he is going to be an important part of this story.

SuNjEwElDrAgOn: Thanks for your compliments. I'll update depending on the amount of reviews I get.

Disclaimer: Stupid thingy. I don't wanna say it. (Lawyers barge in) Never mind. I don't own Inuyasha.

Chapter 3: The Nightmares

I hated it. Ever since my father had to go to that fateful meeting, my life was ruined. My father had found me and took me in and acted as if I were his own son. I in return loved him dearly back until he went to that meeting.

-Flashback-

"Hey! Son! I gotta go to a meeting!"

"Okay daddy!"

"I love you!"

"I love you too daddy!" The father bent over and kissed his son on the forehead.

"I will be back in two hours."

"Bye, daddy!" The father left. The little boy went off to play, not knowing that was going to be the last time he ever would see his loving father.

-Two Hours Later-

"Daddy! Your back!" The little boy ran up to greet his father. The father turned around and slapped the little boy. He fell to the ground and looked at his father with confused eyes.

"Daddy?" The father laughed.

"Things are going to change from now on. I have a new job, in which I will be working for ten hours a day. I expect you to meet me right here when I come home." He slapped his son on the face again.

-End of Flashback-

My teeth grounded against each other at the memory. That was five years ago. My father was never the same.

What happened daddy?

I don't know what happened to him at that two-hour meeting. I heard the car come up and I waited in fearful silence. I heard my dad, no, I don't know why I even call him that now, I heard Goshinko storm up the stairs and burst through the door.

Why are you angry?

"Huh. They can't fire me!" He muttered angrily to himself. He was angry. And all that anger was going to be taken on me. This time it is really going to hurt. Goshinko stared at me quivering. His cursed fist landed on my shoulder and I fell on the floor, whimpering. He glared at me and kicked me.

"Get up," He commanded. I struggled onto my feet only to feel another fist hit my stomach. Completely winded and bent over, I tried to straiten my back. Goshinko slapped me in the face and yelled at me.

Stop it daddy!

"You're worthless! You're a piece of crap!" He continued to pound me. I cried out as his fist hit my jaw, it throbbed. My ears were ringing from the slaps.

Please!

He grabbed my arms and screamed into my face about how useless I was. His nails dug into my arms. I whimpered louder, but I will not cry. I will not see the satisfaction for my tormenter in seeing that he was really hurting me. Roughly, he shoved me into the ground. I got up again and he punched my side. I gasped.

Daddy, I wish I could fly!

His foot rose and it hit me in the stomach hard. Way too hard.

You will one day, son. When I get the money, we can go skydiving!

I went flying across the room, sliding on the floor, through the glass door….the glass door….the glass door……..- Oh God!

"No!" I saw my father. Tears were streaming down his face. He was scared.

Daddy. What is skydiving?

"Yugi!" He cried. Everything was going in slow motion as I flew through space……….downwards.

I love you...daddy, I thought. I closed my eyes.

"Yugi!"

Yugi woke with a start. He covered his face and felt a hand on his shoulder.

"It was only a dream, Yugi." Yami said.

"And my past memories." Yugi muttered.

-Flash back-

"Yugi!"

Yugi fell through the air and suddenly he felt claws grip him safely. He looked up and saw a blue dragon with amber eyes. It flew through the air and gently lay him down on ground. His vision went blurry and he fainted.

-Flash Back-

"I was found in a parking lot. My father (Yugi spat out the word) had killed himself," Yugi rubbed his forehead and scowled darkly.

"Yugi, try to forget your memories. You need sleep," Yami said.

"But I wish I knew who that dragon was," Yugi sighed and fell back onto his bed. Soon his breathing was even and calm. Yami looked out the window and saw Yashizo sleeping in a tree nearby. She too was having strange dreams.

-Dream-

"Sister! Can we get this book! Please!" the little boy tugged on his sister's sleeve. The girl looked at the book and read the title imprinted in gold letters: The REAP. She raised her eyebrows. "Please?" The boy stared at her anxiously.

"Oh fine, Andrew. But you have to be a good boy!" The girl bought the book. She did have to admit, it did look interesting. Her brother exclaimed his thanks to her and hugged her tightly.

"Please read it to me too! You have such a great voice! Please Sarah!" Andrew begged. Her voice was melodic and beautiful. The story practically came to life whenever she read. They both settled into a bed and Sarah opened to the first book and started to read. Andrew became entranced at her words. It grew late and Sarah was almost done with the book when a wind when through the room. Andrew shivered. Sarah paused and put the book on a table.

"It is past your bedtime, I'd better sto- what is wrong?" Andrew was shaking like mad and his eyes had widened with fear. He moved close to Sarah. Sarah followed Andrew stare and went rigid. Three old boys with malevolent grins on their lips stared back. And more boys were coming from a…….book! The book, The REAP, lay open and more boys were coming out of it.

"Wh-wh-what happened?" Sarah stuttered. On of the taller boys came forward.

"You're the one who should know. Your voice has read me and my gang out of that book," He said. "Now, here is your reward," He raised a clawed hand and slashed her. He held Sarah's ripped shirt and jumped. Sarah screamed.

-End of Dream-

Yashizo woke up so fast that she almost fell out of the tree she was in.

"Damn dream," she muttered. She was sweating all over. That was a weird dream. It was like a memory of the past. But it wasn't my memory; it was someone else's. She thought. Shivering, she realized how cold the night was. A thin layer of ice was on the tree she was sitting in and there was frost on the grass. Winter was coming. Yashizo turned her head and saw Yugi's room. There was only one way to escape this cold for the rest of the night.

Me: Sigh…I am too tired to say much right now. Just hit that little blue button if you want me to post up the next chapter. The blue button, not the red one. The blue one. The blue one. The blue one! Not the red one! The blue one you stupid jackass- Ahhhhh! (falls into a fire pit)

Readers: Oops…
