Chapter 3: Sleepy Time
Rain poured loudly over the temple grounds. Kagome awoke suddenly from her sleep, her heart racing. 'Inu-yasha!' her mind shouted the name as though trying to evoke him. She hadn't slept peacefully since the afternoon in the park.where HE appeared for the second time. It had already been three days, yet the image still clouded her thoughts, the handsome face and the amber eyes. Glancing at the digital clock beside her bed, Kagome groaned. 'It's 3 am..why the Hell am I awake?!'
Knowing she'd not be able to sleep soundly anyways, Kagome rose from her bed, gave a long yawn, and stretched hands, arms, torso, legs, and toes. 'A nice long bath might be nice.' Sleepily, she made her way to the hallway and turned into the doorway on the left side. The bathroom was small and comfortable, carpeted mats softly warming her cold feet, and the scent of lilac candles soothing the air. Soon, Kagome had a steamy bubble bath prepared, allowing a heavenly scented mist to rise within the enclosed room, fogging the mirror and window. A night shirt slipped from her shoulders onto the floor, followed by a pair of cloth shorts and pink frilled panties. Cautiously, Kagome dipped her big toe into the spa-like pool before her. 'Ahhh.just right.' She smiled and slid the rest of her foot and then body into the liquid.
Peaceful quiet surrounded Kagome.she felt cradled in a warm dream, caressing her tired body, soothing the pain of insomnia from her brow. 'Inu-yasha.' she thought to herself. 'Where is he now?' Closing her eyes, she daydreamed.the boy stood before her, smiling now. His white silky hair streaming along the outline of his face.the ears, those somehow disturbing yet playful ears called to her.in need of touching, rubbing.his hands were at his sides, the claws docile not menacing.she wanted to hold them, feel them in her own simple hands. Unexpectedly, dark shadows grew around her stranger.three, masses of darkness.as though looking through a thick pane of glass at people she could not reach. Kagome shuddered, her heart beating faster with every passing moment. 'who are they?' As if in response, small, wind-like voices penetrated her mind.familiar voices.calling to her.searching for her. 'No.Go away..' she murmured, though she knew she was alone, safe in her own home. The voices grew louder, yet still indecipherable. 'Leave me alone...' She whispered fearfully, wanting to wake up from the daydream, her stranger crowded by these shadows, her heart pounding in her chest. "Just shut up!"
"Kagome?"
Kagome woke from the vision, the voices dissipating into nothingness. Slowly she opened her eyes to find a now familiar face staring down upon her. 'Inu.yasha?.' she muttered dreamily.
"Kagome.do you know me?" The amber eyes looked pained with false hope.
"Inu.WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING IN HERE?!!" Kagome had come to her full senses, realizing she was in the bathtub (naked no less) and completely helpless against the intrusion of a mysterious.and possibly dangerous.imaginary daydream stranger.
"Shh!.Kagome."
"I will NOT 'Shh.Kagome' !!" She quickly covered her chest with one arm and reached for a nearby towel with her free hand. Shaking, she stood and clumsily wrapped herself in cotton concealment. At this point, her younger brother had woken and was yelling from across the hall.
"Sis, keep it down! I'm trying to sleep.."
As Kagome opened her mouth to yell for help, a clawed hand shot out to cover the trembling lips, supressing any noise she might have tried to emit.
The stranger stood beside Kagome, angrily glaring into her terrified eyes. "What are you trying to do?! This isnt a game! We need to get out of here before it's too late." Kagome pulled away from his hand and reached for the door. Another hand shot out and grabbed her extended arm. He pulled Kagome's face close to his own. "What's your problem? Stop being such a baby, and let's GO!"
To Inuyasha's surprise, tears started streaming down Kagome's face. She trembled in his grasp; he could smell the awful fear pouring off of her entire body. Hurt and confused, he loosened his grip. She sank to the floor still crying. "Please, Kagome.don't you understand what's happening to you?" he gently whispered, leaning down to touch his hand to her hair, brushing a strand behind her ear. "Don't you remember who you are?" Kagome's eyes looked up to meet his amber gaze and nearly lost herself. She felt safe so near to him, although every instinct in her body told her to run.
"Who are you?" she whispered in response, still uneasy (and still nearly naked.).
Inuyasha bent his head, seemingly staring at the floor. "You stupid girl, you've gone and forgotten me.." He looked up again with a smirk on his face, and pain in his heart. "You left me and never came back.I had to go looking for you. I found you floating in a mist, and I saw you living this false life.I came to rescue you."
Kagome looked utterly confused, "What are you talking about? Who ARE you?"
"Shh.I promise I am not here to hurt you. You're probably most afraid of my appearance, but I've worked out a way to help that..time is different here, faster." Inuyasha seemed lost in a train of thought that Kagome could never catch. "Miroku and Sango found me and pulled me out the first time.but I had to come back. After my second attempt, I wasn't so bewildered.but something wouldn't let me stay..Now I know what's going on..Kaede knew everything about this place.or at least about who lives here." "Inu.yasha." His eyes glimmered at hearing his name spoken by the frightened girl. A new light crossed his face, full of hope. "please, this doesn't make any sense.let me go.Go away and leave me alone.." Kagome winced at some unknown pain and held her hand to her temple. Inuyasha's eyes sallowed, all light leaving his visage.he stood and turned from where she sat upon the bathroom floor.
Emotionlessly he muttered, "Stubborn woman.I'm not giving up so easily."
He was lost to Kagome's sight as his last words were spoken. She stared into the steamed air searching for a trace of his image, and found none. Without warning, she felt tears touch her warmed cheeks and a deep longing in her heart grew stronger. 'Why did I send him away?'
Before she could begin soul-searching for answers, an alarm chirruped through the hallway and echoed into the bathroom. Snapping back to reality, Kagome sat upright. 'Time for work already? How long have I been in here?! I've got to get dressed!' Instantly, (like a bunny!) she rose to her feet and began dashing around the house (mostly between her bedroom and the bathroom) throwing towels, shirts, pants, socks, and shoes in a whirlwind around her frantic body. Moments later Kagome bounded down the stairway (dressed for success.) and headed for the kitchen. A hasty piece of toast with cereal and a shot of orange juice flew over teeth and tongue. One last trip to the bathroom sent minty freshness following after the morning tasties and seconds later, Kagome was a small spot in the distance, umbrella in hand, rushing off to another exciting day at Comic Book Java. 'Inu-yasha'.was far from her thoughts.
End Chapter 3
So what doya think? I know this might seem slow paced..and..well..maybe it is..BUT that hasn't stopped me before! This part may seem confusing, but not to worry.I plan on explaining everything.only from Kagome's side of things, rather than jumping from character to character. It just sounds like more fun that way! ::high fives the reader:: yah! ::waits for reader to high five back.:: okay then! ::still waiting:: maybe next time! ::quickly removes outstretched hand:: What? ::big sign appears - "DORK":: Well THAT'S not very nice! ::arrow attaches to sign pointing at mysty:: SCREW you guys.I'm going home.::sadly walks off the little stage and heads out into the cold bitter world to search for her home.::
NO really..I LOVE anyone who reads my story.please keep reading!! ::muah!:: bye for now my little kumquats! ::wink::
