Chapter 5

Inuyasha's POV

Waking up in a daze, I looked around slowly but couldn't see too clearly. My arms were frozen against a cold surface so I looked down to see what it was. A gray desk with small eraser marks across from it. Where the hell was I? Clearing my vision with my hands I finally found I was in my Art classroom. How did I get here? I don't remember even coming to school. How long had it been since I was asleep? What day was it? I repeated those questions over and over again even though I knew the answers. They were just plastered on my art paper followed by drool which made my thoughts blur together.

"Camuri. I know you have had a hard day so far but that does not mean you can sleep in my class." The art teacher glared at me as he said that. The whole class was looking at me with a small smirk across their faces but their eyes had pity all against me. I looked around some more finally realizing that Kouga wasn't here! What was going on? 'Hard day'? What did he mean by that…I don't remember anything happening me that was tough.

All day I was clueless on what happened all this week. I knew I already spent my two weeks out of prison which wasn't TOO bad. But I was still pondering about how everyone else knew what happened to me except…me!

My head started throbbing at Lunch as I sat there alone eating nothing. I felt horrible so I ran to the bathroom and saw my face blending with the graffiti walls that were painted chipped 'white'. I was actually THAT pale? I decided to go to the nurse, her welcoming nicely like she knew me. What the hell was going on!

"Try not to think hard, Hun…" She whispered as she lied me down. I gave her a questionable look, hopping she could read my mind and tell me all what happened. "O-okay. Why does my head hurt?" I mumbled and she gave me a depressed look. I was so out of it I couldn't hear anything around me. She was talking to me but it wasn't clear so I ignored it and fell asleep.

...DREAM...

"Camuri!"

Whoa. I just heard my name. The familiar voice that I always came to. I turned around not even thinking who it was and embraced her tightly. I looked up and saw her face curl up into a smile. So bright. Peaceful. Perfect.

"C'mon. We're going to be late!"

Late for what? I asked myself and ran after her anyways. It felt like I was moving forward into time.

She stopped suddenly and turned to me again. I opened my mouth but nothing came out of it. I forced myself to talk as hard as I could. She looked at me strangely saying, "Are you okay?"

My eyes widened as my bones stiffened. I couldn't move at all, not even my eyes! I was trapped. I felt pressure against my body as she stood there, staring at me.

Her eyes looked away from mine and started walking off. No, please don't go! Her body started vanishing. Disappearing in front of my eyes. But it wasn't mist…it was blood.

My body became stable and I ran after her. I supported her body on mine and shredded tears on her blood seeping out of my fingers.

My guilt grew along my whole body like I knew what happened. But this wasn't me. I was a totally different person then I am now but I didn't know what I had changed into. I have no idea why this happened to her. Why it was my fault. Why I was involved with it. How did this all occur?

...END...

I shot up from the nurses bed, panting loud and hard. Ow, My head hurt even worse then before. I tightened my eyes and pressured my aching head against my palm as I heard it completely silent around me. Looking up and around, I noticed my the nurse wasn't in her office. She must have been eating lunch…Wait! What time was it? I crawled over to the edge of the bed and peaked over the side to see the clock hanging from the wall. 1:15. I only slept for 30 minutes? I ran out, grabbing my stuff, and leaving a note for the nurse:

Nurse,

I was feeling much better when I woke up. I left around 1:15 to get my work from my other classes. Thank you for your help.

Camuri Inuyasha

Yeah, my note was full of lies that I had to get rid of but she didn't know that. I walked out quickly. Instead of getting work, I just walked out of the back of the school. My heart was racing like crazy. Exactly what did that dream mean? Maybe it had nothing to do with today. But it was so real, it had of happened. Or maybe it hasn't happened yet...

My eyes were becoming drowsy and my legs were getting weak. I was headed to the house but I know Pa-pa would get mad at me for ditching so I decided to turn the other way. I stopped. I was so tired I just wanted to give up on whatever I was looking for and sleep. But I wasn't tired, my head just hurt reeeaaally bad. I hesitated for about 3 minutes then turned around and started my way home. I may be doing the wrong thing and I'll probably be getting a loud talk to my Pa but I needed my mind off of important things.

Kouga, What happened to me? To you?

I collapsed into my house, resting on my floor. I looked up, watching emptiness around me. I guess no-one was home…Kinda nice actually. Sesshoumaru usually teased me the second I came home. Don't tell me what about, 'cause I don't even know! And Pa-pa was gnawing on me about how lazy I was…Yeah, I was lazy. I finally got up and crawled over to the couch. My legs were so weak and my head was so out of focus I couldn't concentrate on anything. My eyes dazed into a light sleep but my body felt everything around me. I tried to ignore the annoying heater buzzing below my ear and slowly passed time easily as I lied still.

I shot myself up away from my sleep again. Damn, why am I doing that? I didn't have a bad dream…that I can remember. I glanced at the clock on the microwave. 2:35. Shit, Pa-pa and Sesshoumaru are going to be here any minute! I stumbled out of the couch quickly and ran to the window. Pa-pa's car just pulled in. AH! What do I do? What do I do? I sat down in the middle of the floor and started to think hard. Ouch…Ah ha! I got it! I walked over to the couch and waited for Pa-pa to walk in. Once he did, he looked at me with an arched eyebrow. "Inuyasha, what are you doing home?" He started to yell at me and I pretended to just wake up. "Hmm.." I said, rubbing my eyes, "The teacher told me I could go home." Damn, I didn't know if Pa-pa believed me or not. All I knew is that Sesshoumaru didn't. The look in his eyes had grudge with total disgust. But, he also and a smart-ass smirk on his face seeming to say, "That's my lil' bro!"

Pa-pa placed his hands on his hips but then they slid down and his face became worried sick. Oh no, what have I done? He walked over and reached out to feel my face. "Your face is hot!" He said, surprised. I blinked and nodded, "T-that's what the nurse said…" Pa-pa nodded, "Well the whole incident with Kouga must of shocked you half to death. Kouga! "What happened, Inu-Pa! Please tell me what happened to Kouga!" He looked at me, telling me to shut my mouth, "You've forgotten have you…Well, you see…" He paused and sighed deeply. "Kouga, the night we went out to eat together, you two were fighting."

Fighting? No! I wanted that to stop! Damn, what have I done? It's all my fault! I slammed my head against my hands and pouted. Pa-pa continued talking. He told me that the fight was about Kouga's parents and how she didn't want to talk about it anymore. I insisted to stay on the topic and for her to tell me more but she refused. As we were walking out of the restaurant, she ran into the street and didn't notice a speeding car behind her. I rushed out for her and ended up getting her more hurt then if I didn't try to save her.

My eyes swelled into liquid and tears fell against my cheeks softly. I burst out screaming from my own disgust and buried my head into the couch pillow. I felt Pa's hand rub on my back, shhing me. I wanted to kill myself, literally! My lungs were filled with salty water so my voice was shaking and stutter-y. How could I do this? I am such a dumb ass! …And I needed to do something about it!
