KAGOME'S APARTMENT

By the time she had dragged herself out of bed the following morning, after much difficulty might I add, Kagome had seemed to have lost all recollections of the night before. However, she was very much aware of the golden-eyed god that crawled into her dreams in the dark of night.

'Come on Kagome, get a hold of yourself. It was just some stupid dream. Dream's do not become real,' she desperately tried to reassure herself. 'Even when you want them to,' she added as an afterthought, even though she didn't realize she had.

After the long and treacherous journey to Darashinai High (so sue me, I like that word, especially when others don't) she passed the school gates to find none other than…..an empty school.

"What the fuck," she said to the wind.

After standing like a statue (cliché I know) for several minutes, she was jolted out of her thoughts by a giggling sound coming from directly behind her.

"Heya Kagome," greeted Ayumi (major thanx to devoureddarkness for the spelling mistake. I was thinking of Ayame for some strange reason) to a still stunned teen. "I kinda figured you would forget all about the pupil free day. Even though it was in ALL THE NOTICES!" she answered to Kagome's unasked question.

"Ah, yeah. I knew that. Just testing your abilities," she nervously replied, while scratching the back of her head. Meanwhile, Ayumi had just done a complete face-vault into the ground, typical anime style. (Is it called face-vault?)

"Oh well, while we're down this way, might as well make a day of it and go shopping," she more than happily responded to her friend's obvious cluelessness.

At this comment, the girl's face instantly lit up, awaiting the joy that is SHOPPING! Even though she didn't have any money. 'Oh well, I'm sure Ayumi would be more than happy to pitch in a few bucks for a chance to give me a new wardrobe.'

(Again, I don't want to bore you with the details of their little shopping adventure. Let's just say that they went to Hot Topic, Ayumi bought Kagome and herself lots of cool new outfits, guys drooled when they came out of the changing rooms, they had a quick bite to eat, then went their separate ways at umm 3:15pm.)

"Later Kagome. Sorry I gotta ditch ya so early but my mum wants me home to babysit my little cousin. I'll cya tomorrow," waved a slightly frantic Ayumi, since she was supposed to be home by 12.

"Umm, ok, bye Ayumi," replied a somewhat disappointed Kagome. Even though her farewell fell on death ears.

"Well this sucks. Now what the hell am I supposed to do," she complained. Staring at her mountains and mountains of shopping bags, she finally decided it would be best to drop them off at home, before figuring out what to do with the rest of her time.

By the time she had completed that excruciatingly long journey home, it was around 6pm. (I know this sounds unrealistic but hey, it's a hell of a long way to walk without having to drag along all those bags) After dumping all of her new clothes in the corner of her bedroom, coz putting them away in a closet would actually take effort, she figured she might as well get dinner over with. After settling upon, what else, ramen, she curled up with her favourite doona, and spent the rest of the night watching all of her favourite shows. However, sometime during the night she fell asleep on the couch, and was peacefully off in the land of evil killer bunnies. (Again with the fucking evil bunnies)

YOUKAI REALM

The same golden-eyed god that had been plaguing a certain raven-haired beauty's dreams looked out across the falling sunset. He had sensed when she had arrived home several minutes ago, and was now waiting for the perfect opportunity to go and 'visit' her. It took all of his strength to not go and see her during the day, but he knew he mustn't. He did not want to frighten her, but make her want him; need him. He wanted to show her the greatest pleasures this world had to offer before claiming her as his. But first he wanted to have a little fun of his own. A small smirk etched its way upon his lips at this last thought. Soon he could have his fun.

After several hours of patiently, if you'd like to call it that, waiting, she had finally fallen into the land of slumber. However, he noticed something different this time. He did not want to just send her pleasurable dreams, he wanted to see her in person; face to face. After some much needed contemplation, he came to the conclusion that rather than invading her dreams tonight, he would give her a break from his 'visits' and see how she would reactthe next morning; whether she would be disappointed or not.

'Yes,' he thought. 'This will work nicely.'

With that said, the handsome young hanyou exited his realm for the humans'. He traveled so quickly that before long he was perched upon Kagome's windowsill, looking into the dark room. Upon further inspection, he noted that she was currently fast asleep in the lounge room, resting on a worn out old couch. Ever so silently, he slunk up to his sleeping goddess, and quietly watched as her chest fell up and down with every breath she took. Without realizing what he was doing, he subconsciously lowered a hand to tenderly stroke her flawless cheek. After what seemed like an eternity of contentment, he gently picked up the light bundle into his arms and softly padded across the room to locate her bedroom. After that feat was accomplished, he gently lowered her onto her bed, and placed her beneath the blankets.

"Goodnight my precious, sleep well for tomorrow I will see you again."

Without another word said, he leapt onto the windowsill and disappeared into the fading night.

'BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BANG, THUMP'

A very sleepy figure snuggled into her pillow more, with a groan at the annoying alarm clock that always found a way to disturb her much deserved rest.

Realization suddenly dawned on her, as she quickly opened one eye to peer at her surroundings.

'When the fuck did I get back in my room.'
