The Hybrid

Chp.5 Dream

By: The Guardian of the Hell Gate

Kag's POV

The sun shone brightly; there were only a few choice clouds in the sky. The sea sparkled merrily, as gentle waves slowly began to form.

They mocked me.

The very scenery mocked me.

They didn't have a care in the world, all the sun had to do was shine, all the clouds had to do was float, and the sea only had to hide its inhabitants in its own self. And yet there happiness was altered slightly for just like any human or demon their lives would end. The sun would stop shining, the clouds would disappear. Only the ocean's happiness was true for it knew when all else died, it would only sleep, for a very long time. They all knew their future I kinda wish I knew mine too.

It was strange because it felt like I could actually feel these elements emotions. Although my mother and father said that all the elements had a living spirit, it was impossible for me to actually feel their emotions. Oh well I can't exactly blame them they didn't kill Koto, or my parents. I sighed softly at my depressing thoughts, causing Inu's ears to twitch slightly from under his black bandana, as he slept.

Yes, just as Koto said we were on a way to America, we had already transferred planes and would land in California by late afternoon. But for now I'll just sleep.

Inu's POV

She thought I was asleep. I wasn't. I heard her sigh. A soft heartbreaking sigh almost like she wanted to give up, like she was angry, like the weight of the world had been placed on her shoulders...

But I was determined to help her carry it. No matter what she said, or did. She couldn't get rid of me. I'd make sure of it. There was no way in hell that I would lose her again.

She had sifted slightly. Her head pillowed on my shoulder. She seemed to do that a lot. Her breathing slowed and evened out as she fell asleep. Once I was sure she had fallen asleep I gently wrapped my arm around her waist, as I did she burrowed more into my red shirt. I smiled slightly at her actions, and opened my eyes.

She once again was absolutely stunning. From where my head lay on top of hers I could see the tops of her supple breasts, her low V-neck shirt saying 'I can kick your ass. Deal with it,' in black letters on the shirts light blue background. Her slim waist curving to her perfect hips...

BAD INUYASHA BAD!

I blushed slightly at my sudden attention to her womanly curves. But then again she was a woman. AHH! THAT'S NOT THE POINT!

Deep breath

I'm ok.

Damn those mating instincts.

Anyway...

What Koto said still bothered me slightly. What did he mean by only three more? Me and Kagome were strong enough to beat Naraku. Or were we? Koto didn't seem to think so.

Yawn

It seems Kagome had the right idea. Maybe I should take a nap too.

I gently kissed her forehead as I smelled her beautiful scent. She purred softly and smiled in her sleep. I smiled at her actions.

Sweet dreams, Kagome.

Maybe Inuyasha jinxed her, but Kagome's dreams were anything but sweet.

Kagome's Dream

I woke to see lights, I squinted slightly no those were stars.

They were absolutely magnificent. Now these were the only piece of beauty I could never hate, probably because I always felt so close to my parents when I looked at them.

I sighed I had to get up to see where I was. That's when I noticed I wasn't wearing my usual clothes. I was wearing what looked to be a white almost see threw skirt, there was a long slit up the side stopping jus at my calves. I immediately searched my neck for my family heirloom. I sighed as I felt its comforting weight. My shirt exposed my stomach and wrapped around my breasts like a tube top, not even any straps. But I wasn't cold, on the contrary I was fine with a white cloak draped over my shoulders, it stayed on my shoulders because of a brooch. The brooch was simple just a dark blue gem wrapped in a band gold. My feet were bare and my hair fell around me like a black waterfall. The only thing was I was in my angel phoenix form. Which looked a lot like my hanyou form almost identical; except I didn't have dog ears, I had youkai ears instead and I had white wings that at this moment hid beneath my cloak.

Strange.

I looked around. It was the first time I had actually looked at my surroundings. I was in a large forest. It seemed regular enough, crickets chirped and nocturnal animals went about their daily rituals before the sun beat them back into there burrows. All was peaceful for a moment then I heard a scream. It cut threw the silence like a hot knife through butter. I turned towards its origin to see the eastern side of the sky dyed red, as if by instinct my wings emerged and I soaring through the sky. The trees combining to become a green blur even to my eyes. As I grew closer I descended the smoke of a fire filling my lungs and stinging my eyes. I squinted through the overwhelming smoke to see two demons fighting one another.

'Go! Run away with Shippou!' said one of the figures, before continuing the deadly dance in which he had been trapped in.

'No, I won't leave you!' cried another more womanly figure. She held what looked to be a small bundle of rags.

'You must think of the child!' that silenced her. Against the fire, which I deduced to have once been a house, I saw her tears.

'I love you...' came the whispered reply from the woman.

'I love you too,' said her mate.

Before she turned and ran towards me.

'NOOO! PAPA COME WITH US!' said the bundle.

The figure of the woman's mate just smiled. And said one last time...

'I love you.'

But as he turned to continue his duet, a third stepped out of the long ominous shadows from the fire. He was thicker than the first, but much more ruthless as he opened his large mouth and released a massive thunder ball at the fighting man. And as he was hit I saw he had red hair green eyes and a tail. A fox tail. He was a fox youkai, trying to protect his pup and mate.

I felt tears burn my eyes, as a sob was wrenched from my throat.

The first fighter quickly plunged what seemed to be a spear threw his heart killing him instantly.

I said the thicker fighter was ruthless, but then again I could be wrong.

Another sob escaped my lips as my tears fell faster.

His mate screamed. Oh, that scream. It was like her heart had been ripped out and ripped into a million pieces. And that's just what they did. The slimmer fighter quickly caught the fleeing kitsune and plunged his clawed hand threw her back removing her heart. But that wasn't all.

It wasn't all, I wish it was but as her body fell to the ground and her cub rolled away from her body he laughed. A laugh like he was playing a game he had just won, then he ate it. He ate the heart and smiled a bloody smile as if he had just eaten the sweetest candy.

I couldn't make a sound as silent tears fell down my face.

They were going after the cub. He was too stunned to move to even cry.

That's when I was given back control of my body, and I sprang and covered his body with my own, my clothes and wings had changed to black and dived into the shadows and into the forest. I felt his small body curl into my own, as I ran as fast and hard as I could, diving from one shadow to another. They chased us for sometime but eventually gave up. But I ran until we reemerged into the clearing I had awoken in.

Then he finally began to cry. He looked at my own tearstained face and his eyes widened. I knew not why. But his eyes were turquoise and filled with a sadness and pain that I knew only to well. And I felt for a mount that I was truly there.

His arms tightened around me wanting comfort, and I cried as I tried to give him it.

That's when I felt it a sharp tug away from the boy. He had felt it too, and looked at me in confusion and panic. But I was disappearing; I wanted to stay with him.

'NO LEAVE ME ALONE!' I cried. But it didn't and then he sunk completely threw me as I rose into the air.

'NNNNNOOOOO!' I cried, he looked at me tears in his eyes as his arms rose to me asking me silently to stay with him. Then everything went black. And I heard...

'Kagome, Kagome wake up,' it was Inuyasha.

End dream

Inu's POV

We were going to land soon. The announcement over the loudspeaker woke me up. But not Kagome, she still slept on my shoulder. I was going to let her sleep more until I smelt her tears.

Crap! She was crying in her sleep, which meant I couldn't do anything about it unless I woke her up, and I was going to do just that.

"Kagome, Kagome wake up."

She slept on with a murmured 'no.'

I knew she was still asleep. I removed my arm from her waist and shook her slightly.

"Kagome wake up," her head just lolled to the side.

"Kagome," I murmured urgently.

"Leave me alone."

She was still asleep but I was making progress.

"Kagome, Kagome wake up."

That finally got her as her now sapphire eyes blinked open, before they were once again hidden in my chest as she sobbed quietly.

I just held her close and murmured sweet nothings in her ear, as she began to calm.

"Kagome what happened?"

"Just a nightmare but I'm ok," was her soft reply.

I didn't believe her but I couldn't force her to talk to me. But it kinda hurt that she didn't trust me enough to tell me.

She had dried her tears and looked out the window, but not before grabbing my hand and squeezing it softly.

I smiled slightly and knew she would tell me when she was ready.
