Chapter 4: Strange Midnight Dreams

It was a terrible gloomy day. It was raining in all of Japan.

A young Kagome holding a baby blue umbrella and wearing a long blue dress with long sleeves, walks down the sidewalk right in front of her shrine. Right there was a little boy sitting at the edge of the road crying. He had long silver hair with two dog-ears on top. To Kagome it looked like he was wearing a red fire rat kimono. Kagome walked up to him with full concern.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Kagome asked tilting her head to the side.

"Nothing..." The boy replied.

Kagome sat down right beside him to his right. She put the umbrella above both of their heads, protecting them both from the hardcore rain.

"It can't be nothing." Kagome said while taking his chin. She made him face her, only to see his two beautiful golden orbs.

"Listen, I don't need your help, ok? I don't trust anybody! That includes you!" the boy yelled.

Kagome just stared at him and tilted her head in confusion. Then she giggled.

"What's so funny?"

"You of course! You can't trust everybody, but there's always at least one person who you can trust." Kagome said.

The boy just sat in shock as Kagome used her thumb to wipe away all his tears.

"Now tell me, what's wrong?"

"My mother died. No one even cares! My father is the only one who does, but can't do anything!"

"Why can't he do anything?"

"Because if he does they'll probably accuse him of killing her when it was someone else. Demons are always treated differently! ALWAYS! It doesn't help that I'm only half either."

The boy started to cry once more, but Kagome let him cry into her chest. He wrapped his arms around her waist saying incoherent things. She just replied by hugging him and resting her head on top of his.

"Don't worry. It'll be all right. Hey, why don't you spend the rest of the day at my family's shrine with me? I'll make you some food and help you through this." Kagome offered.

"You sure?"

"Yep, just stay away from my dad. By the way what's your name? Mine's Kagome Higurashi."

"I'm Inuyasha Takahashi."

"Nice to meet you Inu-Kun. Come with me." Kagome said holding his hand. She helped him up and they both walked up the shrine stairs.

Kagome woke up at the end of her dream. She looked around the dark pitch-black room trying to see what's been happening. She looked at her alarm clock, which said 12:35.

"What the hell was that dream about? I can't remember anything..."

Kagome put her hand on her head trying to remember the dream, but the only thing she got were pictures. She couldn't remember what they were saying.

"That boy, he's so familiar. Only I can't remember what conversation we had."

Just then a bolt of thunder was heard.

"It's raining, just like in my dream. Strange..." Kagome yawned. She wasn't tired, but she didn't know what to do. So she got out of her bed and went to her desk.

She toke out some blank pieces of paper and some other items. She placed them all on her desk and started thinking. She thought about the boy and how he was just crying and how she helped him.

'Think Kagome think! If you remember the boy, and can find him, you might be able to get out of the engagement with Ranma.'

As Kagome kept thinking she drew. Without even knowing it. When she looked at the picture she saw him.

The picture was a caption of the moment her and that little boy were sitting at the edge of the sidewalk. She was wiping away his tears with her thumb. The caption looked so real.

'Oh well, it might just be fate for me not to remember. Besides, I can still use this picture for my art class.'

Kagome put everything back where it belonged and put her picture in her art portfolio. She turned to see it was 2:03 am. So she went in her other room to play video games in till 7. Then she did her usual morning routine and went downstairs with her portfolio for breakfast.

Kagome sat at the dining room table with Chibi, Souta and her mother.

"Hello Kagome dear, I never got to see you yesterday. How was your day?" her other greeted.

"Fine, a bit off the edges and boring, but fine mother." Kagome quoted. She filled her plate with hash browns, scrambled eggs, bacon and bread.

"Well, that's good dear. Just don't scare the butlers anymore."

"Yes Mother."

"Now, I'll Souta off at school so Chibi and you can go to your art class. Or do you have more then your art class today?"

"No, my other classes have been canceled for a while..." Kagome said silently.

Mrs.Higurashi looked at her daughter with full concern, and sadness.

'I bet she's started to have thoughs empty dreams again. I just feel sad that I can't help her. He would never like that though.'

"Mother I'm done. We'll see you when we come home. By the way I'm going for another visit at the Tendo Dojo, I need to speak with father."

Kagome and Chibi left the house with Kagome's baby blue umbrella. They entered her car and put the umbrella and portfolio in the back seat. Then she started the car and they both headed to Tokyo University.

At Tokyo University Chibi and Kagome split up, Chibi went to the arcade and Kagome went to her class to find out she made it early.

Rin was at her desk in the empty classroom. Kagome walked in front of the desk hoping to get her attention.

"Hello, Mrs.Takahashi. I have my assignment done for early." She said, searching for the picture in her porfolio and handing it to Rin.

"Well, I see I got a good student. Handing things in before we even decide to make a date." Rin commented and she toke the picture and looked at it.

"WOW! This is full of detail and looks so real! When did you do this?"

"At around midnight. I woke up and decided to think about a dream I had. I ended up drawing a caption of it."

'InuYasha...' Rin thought as she looked at the picture. 'Her dreams, just like Mrs.Higurashi said.'

"Well, this is the best work I've ever seen. You used every technique possible! This deserves a 100 percent! Did you know that?"

"Kinda, I always get that about my art. People say it's very good, and that I should be doing more then this, but I do whatever suites me."

"Well, class will be starting in 10 minutes so I suggest you take your seat." Rin replied.

Kagome sat in her seat, and students began to come through the door.

During class Kagome just toke down notes. She looked up at Rin and started thinking about her dream.

'Why was I so nice to him? Sure he was crying, but it was like I understood his pain.'

When Kagome looked back down at her paper she saw a note. She sighed then opened it hoping it wasn't from Inuyasha trying to use his charms like last time.

(Note)

I

Kag', what's wrong? You seem in a daze or something. You're like your brother looking at Chibi. What's going on?

U -Sango /u /I

(End of Note)

Kagome sighed. She got a letter from worse, her best friend. Who would stop at nothing to find out what's wrong with her. Kagome wrote on the note and sended it back to Sango when Rin wasn't looking then went back to the lesson.

Sango read the note and was surprised when she saw what was on it.

(Note)

Sango, I have no idea. I woke up in the middle of the night to a strange dream. It was about a boy, he was crying. I remember the scene, but not the words. The words were blocked off. The thing that bothers me the most is that it seems so familiar.

-Kag'

(End of Note)

'Her past...' Sango thought.

During the rest of class, Rin announced that since it was Tuesday that the projects would be due on Monday.

Kagome was the last person out of the classroom. She got her books and umbrella ready and headed outside the classroom.

She walked around Tokyo U in the rain in till she bumped into somebody.

"Sorry, are you ok?" Kagome said picking up her books.

"Of course I'm ok babe. Why wouldn't I be?"

Kagome looked up to see InuYasha.

'Oh great! Just the person I need...'

"Hey, Jackass. How you doin'" Kagome said walking past him.

InuYasha held her by the waist and started breathing in her ear.

"You don't trust me?" He whispered seductively into her ear from behind.

"Of course I don't trust you! I don't trust mainly anybody!" Kagome yelled.

"You can't trust everybody, but there's always at least one person who you can trust." InuYasha said.

This triggered something in Kagome's mind.

(Flashback #1)

"Daddy? I don't trust everybody! They all seem to be hiding something! I dislike it! It can always be something about you!" a young Kagome yelled.

Her father chuckled at her statement.

"What's so funny?"

"Because you can't trust everybody, but there's always at least one person who you can trust." Her father stated wisely.

(Flashback #2)

"Listen, I don't need your help, ok? I don't trust anybody! That includes you!" the boy from her dream yelled.

Kagome just stared at him and tilted her head in confusion. Then she giggled.

"What's so funny?"

"You of course! You can't trust everybody, but there's always at least one person who you can trust." Kagome said.

(End of Flashbacks)

"Kagome, babe? You alright?" InuYasha asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I'll call you later. I'm on my way to get Chibi. Bye!" Kagome said while running away.

InuYasha just stood in the distance confused. He put his hands in his pockets and taking out a gold locket.

'Soon, one day we will meet again...'

In the Cafe Chibi and Sango were sitting at a table. Kagome walked up to them.

"Hey..." Kagome said as she sat down.

Chibi pushed a blue and black sheet on top of the table.

"What's this?" Kagome asked picking it up.

"It's a arcade tournament! I plan on beating the crap outta everybody there! I'll probably win money and a home arcade if I'm correct." Chibi said.

"Chibi, can't you just buy these stuff?" Kagome asked.

"Yes, but I'm like you Kagome! I like to win and show people my best instead."

"Well anyways, come on we have to head to the Tendo Dojo now. I need to ask father something."

"K, bye Sango!" Chibi said while walking out of the doors with Kagome.
