Notes: Here is Kagome's third day dream. This chapter 'daydream' has a special twist. The idea of camping came form sixth grade, where the entire sixth grade camping went and camped, with various activities and rules. Especially the gender separation rule. But none of this happened to me. Of course not. But I do remember crying as I fell asleep because none of my friends like me. Some friends. And no, I'm not one of those arrogant people that you hate to be a friend with. Anyhow, hope you enjoy, and please review.
Mila2504, its supposed to look like its happening, then out of nowhere, she wakes up out of it. So italics on the daydreams would sorta give it all away. O.o Inu's-Only, it ends so quickly because its not supposed to go any further. . Kagome's daydreams are pretty clean. Thanx! Venusgurl5 and Kat and KagomesandemonInuYasha, thanx, I'm working on the next chappie. Banana Rum, yay, you are back. I was waiting ever so anxiously for your critique. The story keeps going; it doesn't really say when Kagome starts daydreaming. She just does, then out of no where, she snaps out of it. Master storyteller? Aww, you're too kind. No really. You are the master. After all, you can catch all my mistakes. Inuyasha's Mimiz, don't worry, her dream will be real…really really soon.
Chapter Three: Lost in a Camping
School camping. Kagome went to the bathroom. But she took a wrong turn. Now she is alone. In the dark. And everything seems to be so real…
Kagome sat on a bench, waiting for her classmates to come. It was a science field trip, and Kagome got there early. And when they say field trip, they mean it, literally. Kagome say on a bench in a nice green grassy meadow, a field with flowers and creatures and bugs. Kagome's eyes wandered on the north, a forest.
'I like camping, but I… Where's Sango?' Kagome thought. She didn't like the thought that she was early, and she told herself that she should have taken the school bus instead of getting here herself. She watched a tall guy named Miroku get out of a car and he sat on the bench next to her.
"You know where Sango is?" Miroku smirked. "And her tent?" His violet colored eyes and black hair shone in the sunlight.
Kagome shook her head. 'Even if I did know, I wouldn't tell you.' She thought. She knew Miroku was known to be a pervert, and he almost got expelled for sexual harassment.
Kagome looked back toward the forest at the north of the meadow. 'I hope the bathroom is nearby.' Kagome thought, and she shuddered at the thought of getting lost. When she was a child, she got lost in a forest and fell into a well. She knocked her head out, so when she climbed back up she didn't recognize anything, and she claimed she saw strange demons and people from Senkoku Jidai.
'I am such a delusional freak. Even my day dreams aren't perfect. All bloody… I am so pitiful I can't even think of a perfect day dream.' She thought.
"Kagome… Hey!" A senior said. She had long brown hair and a dark brown blue eyes.
"Sango!" Kagome exclaimed, happy that her only friend was here. She leapt up to her friend.
"Class!" The teacher called out, and a large group of students started clustering around her. "You will all be partnered to someone of your gender. Girls tents are to the left of the forest, and the boys tents are farther away to the north." The teacher pointed. "You must put up your tents by yourself. The owners of this camping site have allowed to use this for free, as long as we pick up the trash we see. Anyone who is caught ignoring trash or anyone who litters will be warned and removed from camp with a week of detention for each violation. You will have three warnings. Now that that's been said, please put up your tents. We will be eating lunch shortly after tents are put up. That is all." The teacher said, and she went to her own little area to put up her tent, as all the students went to their designated areas to camp.
"Sango, shall we be partners?" Kagome asked her. Sango nodded, and they both headed out to their area.
After the tents were all out up, all the students gathered around the picnic tables to gather their food. The teachers had roasted them in grills and giving them out. The food, however, was not fairly dealed. As many people got burnt crisps and some people got large amounts of cooked delight.
Kagome was one who was not so lucky. "Ugh…" Kagome mumbled as she opened her lunch, which was grilled and burnt so badly that the food had stuck to the tin foil it was wrapped in. There was nothing in there at all. Kagome closed up her lunch and walked up the hill to a bench up top. From there, she could see everything. A lot of students wandered farther.
"Kagome…? Are you feeling alright?" Sango asked as she reached up top and sat on the bench next to her.
"Yeah…" Kagome replied. She was looking far into the distance for a certain someone.
"Kagome… Are you sure? You look out of it all the time…" Sango said in concern.
"Can I tell you a secret?" Kagome said in reply. She still had her eyes looking distant. She spotted Inuyasha, but for a split second, he had disappeared. "I need some…help. I guess. If you don't tell anyone?"
"Sure…I won't tell anyone." Sango replied.
"Yes, yes! Please do tell." Miroku interrupted.
"Miroku…" Sango shook her head in disapproval. Miroku just smirked.
"Aww…You know, you look as beautiful as always. Even more beautiful…" Miroku said, and he sat a little too close to Sango on the bench.
"Miroku…" Sango blushed, but it didn't fool her.
"Miroku! Oi Hey!" A voice yelled out from the forest. "Oh, hey Sango. Hey Kagome." Inuyasha said. He was wearing his red hoody as always, and his long white hair flowed in the wind.
"Hi…" Kagome replied, and she covered her mouth with her hoody sleeve and blushed. 'I'm such a retard. I must look like one. Spacing out all the time.' She thought, and shook her head at herself.
"Come on Miroku…remember?" Inuyasha recalled to him.
"Ah, yes. My darling Sango, I must go." Miroku said dramatically. He joined Inuyasha and they walked further up the hill.
"I can't help it but…" Sango started to say, but shushed up. "Hehe, I almost said something foolish."
"You can tell me." Kagome replied. "I was going to ask you something anyway." Kagome said.
"I think I like Miroku." Sango said. "Hehe, silly, isn't it? No…I'm being truthful. He cheers me up so much, even if he is a lecherous pervert." She edged around in her seat, looking around in fear if someone heard her.
"Well, if you like him that much, then you should ask him out or something." Kagome replied. 'That's right…' Kagome thought. 'If I like Inuyasha that much, then I should ask him out. I know I won't. And he'd reject me. I'm such a hypocrite. A hypocrite!'
"Yeah…I might do that. Thanks, Kagome. But you know…I can't really see him being loyal. Anyhow, what were you going to tell me?" Sango asked. She took the last bite from her lunch and closed up the tin foil it was all wrapped in, rolling it into a ball.
"It's nothing, really. I was going to ask for some help but…I figured it out." Kagome replied, and she looked away. 'How can I be such a hypocrite?" She shouted at herself in her mind. "Let's get back to camp." Kagome said, and they started down the picnic tables, where students were throwing away what was left of their lunch.
It was getting quite dark. The bright blue sky darkened in shades of dark blue and crimson shades of orange, and yellow shone in the far east. Soon enough, night fell.
"Hey, Kagome, I have to go. To the restroom." Sango told her, as they were unrolling their sleeping bags and putting on their pajamas. Sango could not go alone, for there was a camp rule that no one may wander off alone. They must be partnered.
"Sure…" Kagome said tiredly, and she yawned. They unzipped the tent and started walking up towards the bathrooms.
'Fifty steps west, then…ten steps north…' Sango thought, counting the steps she took. Kagome groggily followed her.
"There it is…" Kagome pointed and yawned. It was an old dirty stall, and inside were the typical sinks and stalls, but they were filthy. Kagome spotted a daddy long legs crawling up the wall, but regardless of the bugs and cobwebs, she leaned against the wall and fell half asleep.
"Kagome…you can go back to camp if you want to. I can find my way back." Sango said from the stall.
"Are…you…" Kagome yawned. "…sure?" Kagome sank down the way to the floor.
"Go on. You are dead tired." Sango replied.
Taking her offer, Kagome walked out the stall. "Fifty steps west, then…ten steps north…" She mumbled. 'That was how to get back to the girls camp. 1…2…3…4…' She counted her steps in her head. But it really wasn't. That was how to get to the bathroom from the camp. Getting back to the girls camp from the bathroom was the complete opposite. Curse groggy thoughts.
And soon, Kagome found herself in the middle of nowhere. "Isn't…this the camp?" Kagome asked, looking around. Trees were all around her. "There it is…" Kagome mumbled, as she saw a campfire and heard voices. But the voices she heard were not female voices. Kagome took no notice. She walked to "her" tent and unzipped it, kicked off her shoes, pulled off her nightshirt and fell asleep in "her" sleeping bag.
"Warm…" She mumbled in her sleep. The sleeping bag was warm. Kagome assumed it was the tent heater, but, no, it wasn't.
Miroku unzipped the tent. "Inuyasha…Brush your teeth." He mumbled. "Inuyasha. Brush your…" Miroku took notice that the size of Inuyasha's sleeping bag had doubled. Long black hair rested on the end.
"But its not the new moon…" Miroku mumbled, sticking his head out of the tent to look at the moon. 'That's funny…' Miroku thought, and he flipped Inuyasha's sleeping bag over. Inuyasha's long white hair was spotted. "Inuyasha!" Miroku shouted groggily, and he unzipped the sleeping bag, only to find a half naked girl and a shirtless half demon.
"Wow…I wouldn't have even gone this far." Miroku stood up.
"Man…Miroku, what the hell do you want?" Inuyasha said agitated and tired. He sat up in his sleeping bag.
"You are my new role model. I wish to be like you, Inuyasha. I only wish you grabbed Sango too, for me." Miroku smirked.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Inuyasha said, rubbing his eyes to adapt to the lamp outside the tent. Miroku simply pointed down to Inuyasha's sleeping bag.
"How the hell did she get here!" Inuyasha yelled in a whisper. At this point, the both of them were standing, fully adjusted to the bright lamp outside the tent, but sounds had ceased. Everyone was probably sleeping.
"I don't know. I just got here form brushing my teeth to wake you up." Miroku replied, still laughing at Inuyasha.
"Is this some kind of joke! Cause it's not funny!" Inuyasha yelled in a whisper. He wiped his nose from a nose bleed. Miroku was doing the same, but it was because Inuyasha had punched him in the nose a few minutes ago.
"Mmm…" Kagome mumbled in her sleep. Inuyasha and Miroku froze. "Inuyasha…" She sat up and reached for him, but went back to sleep.
"That was close." Miroku said. "She obviously has the hots for you. Look. Maybe she walked up here herself."
"Why the hell would she do that?" Inuyasha replied.
"She mumbled your name in her sleep. And reached for you. Duh." Miroku said, slapping his hand to his forehead in sarcasm.
"Look. We have to get her back to her tent." Inuyasha muttered, wiping his nose.
"Well, do it yourself. I'm going to sleep." Miroku replied.
"You're coming with me." Inuyasha ordered.
"No I'm not." Miroku replied, lying in his sleeping bag.
Inuyasha knew Miroku was stubborn. And there was nothing he could do at the night in a camp. "…Sango's in her tent."
"Sango? Well then, let's go, quickly, snap to it." Miroku replied, waking up instantly.
"The camp moderators check every tent for attendance at 11p.m. Its 10:45p.m. We have to hurry." Miroku said. Inuyasha held Kagome, covering her front with her nightshirt. She was wearing a bra, but it was still the same.
"Where is it from the bathrooms?" Inuyasha asked as they both rushed out into the forest in what they thought was the direction of the girls' camp.
"Here we are. Which one is her tent?" Miroku asked as they spotted a lamp.
"It's where the lamp is. Like ours." Inuyasha replied. His eyes were wide open, lack of sleep eyes.
"We have to be careful. The teacher's tent is close by…" Miroku thought, and they raced to the tent by the lamp. Their shadows danced across the other tents, but they finally reached their destination. Miroku unzipped the tent. "Sango…" He whispered seductively.
"Shut up!" Inuyasha whispered. He set Kagome down in her sleeping bag. "Come on, let's go!" Inuyasha shouted. Miroku turned in whine, but Inuyasha bopped him on the head and they both rushed off into the forest.
"My god… I had the strangest dream." Kagome muttered as she rolled over in her bed. It was daylight, and voices were heard outside the tent.
"Kagome… Where were you last night?" Sango asked.
"What do you mean? I walked here." Kagome said and yawned n reply.
"A dream?" Sango asked.
"Oh…its nothing." Kagome replied. Kagome thought it was a dream, but no, it was really reality. She didn't know that. And she will never find out… For Miroku sworn he would not tell a soul, and Inuyasha was too shy and ashamed to mention it anyway.
