"TRAITOOOOOOOOR!!!"
Kagome sat bolt upright in her bed, shaking and covered in cold sweat, her dream-like memory replaying itself in her mind. How could she even imagine...how could she harbour even the slightest idea that InuYasha would...
She shook her head, not wanting to even think about it. The dreams weren't her own, she knew that, but that didn't change how she felt about them. Scared. Alone. Confused. She had known this one was coming, since the first of the dream-memories had hit her. Or, at least, the first one she understood for what it was.
She glanced at the digital clock on her dresser, an improvement on the one InuYasha had broken, so long before. The luminescent numbers read half past five and she sighed. There was no way she'd be able to get back to sleep and get to the feudal era on time, not that she really felt like going back. Not after that dream. She felt sick at having to see him again. Maybe she could fake a cold and be allowed a few more days to get better? With the lack of sleep from the past few days, she did look ill. Her eyes had horrible bags and were bloodshot, her whole face was sallow and she could easily fake a fever. Souta did it all the time when he was younger, so why not her? Surely the hanyou would take her statement at face value. Last time she was there, he had said she wasn't looking well. She could... no, she couldn't. InuYasha would believe her because she didn't lie to him. If he found out she had lied about being ill, she'd break his fragile trust and he'd be forever hounding her, not let her go for tests, not rely on her in battle. It would all become horrible.
She laughed at the irony. She didn't want to break his trust, but a part of her wanted to be sick at the idea of being near him. What was she going to do?
She shook her head. Shower first, make plan later. She hoped Kaede would be at the village. She was sure to know what to do about these dreams.
