Recap:

"Kagome, the change is starting. I'm going to go look for a different place to sleep for tonight," he said calmly, walking her over to their bed.

"Okay," was all she could really say in response. She didn't know what to do anymore. She was beginning to feel like everything was conspiring against her. With a heavy sigh, Kagome lay down upon the bed with InuYasha in her arms.

Even if InuYasha did change into a different form, she knew his heart and feelings wouldn't change. With that last consoling thought, she hugged him deeply.

Broken Wings

Chapter 24

Bad Dreams for Mr. Goth

The miserable night had come far too quickly for both Kagome and InuYasha. Kagome had felt fear prick at her and she wandered over to where InuYasha had fallen asleep. He had instinctively accepted her into his loving embrace, even in a dead sleep.

Every so often in the night, Kagome would wake suddenly; she couldn't get over how different InuYasha looked while in his human state. Granted, his change would only last until this night ended but in that vulnerable period, Kagome feared the worst.

Each time she faced him, she had to withhold a startled gulp, completely unfamiliar with her lover's different looks. It was if waking up next to a stranger. It was beyond odd to see his once white hair look as black as coal. His sharp demon claws had dulled to small nubs that passed for a human's fingernails.

Kagome could easily see that he had no fangs. In the past when they were together, she could notice his longer teeth when he talked; but only if his mouth moved a certain way. While he lay there snoring with his mouth widely opened, it was depressing not to see his familiar fangs anymore.

To further add to her discomfort she realized that, when he had been in his hanyou form, he slept quite peacefully. As a human however, he moved frequently in the night and would incoherently sleep-talk. He didn't seem very fearsome in his new personage and it must have haunted him even in his dreams.

"Don't walk away…you…I'm not done with you," he grumbled stubbornly as he pulled Kagome closer. She smiled at his coy actions.

'Okay, so it wasn't so bad that he acted this way in his sleep,' she thought with amusement. She snuggled closer into him, absorbing his warmth. The familiar embrace left her feeling comfortable and secure. It wasn't until a quick moment afterward when she had finally closed her eyes and drifted off into blissful sleep.

InuYasha, on the other hand, was in a very troubling nightmare. In the dream, his beloved Kagome was dashing quickly away from him.

"Kagome, wait! Why are you running away from me?" he yelled after her in dismay. She had turned around to face him, while her head sunk low. The hanyou's eyes widened in shock when he caught sight of her bare arms.

Those razor blade cuts she had made before were all there again; fresh and very bloody. Every spot on her red arm was covered in her own blood from the self-inflicted wounds. Her fragile body and clothes were positively drenched from it.

What horrified InuYasha more was that all the cuts were bleeding profusely, as if there was no end to the crimson flow of pain and hopelessness. His dream-Kagome looked as if she had taken a dip in a river of gooey blood.

"Ka-Kagome…what did you do?" he asked very mutely, wondering if she had even heard him. His voice was so low in dismay that he had to wonder if he spoken at all. She looked at him with those old, hollow eyes. He hadn't seen her this bleak since when they first met. He could physically feel her hurt and it caused his heart to break to see her this way.

"What are talking about?" she posed without concern. "You knew I did this, so why are you trying to stop me? Maybe your love is just too much for me…it won't fit into my shattered heart. I can't keep lying to myself. I can't continue this relationship knowing that my whole family might be dead. I don't want to attach myself to anyone ever again. I'm leaving Japan, InuYasha, and I don't want you to follow me," she said coldly. Her body turned to leave in a frenzied dash.

"Kagome!" he yelled out hopelessly.

InuYasha woke up in a cold sweat. He was panting extremely hard. He looked quickly around the dark hotel room, searching for his love. He felt her form on the bed with him. His beautiful fallen angel was sleeping peacefully next to him. Taking in a deep breath of cool air to calm his restless and shattered nerves, he bent down to look her in the face.

With his gentle human hand he trailed a finger down her cheek and caressed it ever so lightly. She was still alive.

Meanwhile, a terrible thunder storm was making itself known past their window. Heavy rain splattered violently at the window. With the sudden urge and inspiration to draw now, InuYasha dashed over to the living room and grabbed the complimentary pencil and notepad that was on the desk.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When Kagome opened her eyes it was morning. The gentle smell of rain was evident and the sounds of a light drizzle stuck at the window lazily. Absentmindedly she reached her arm blindly on the bed, searching for her beloved. The feel of empty sheets was the only feeling her fingers had.

She jumped up suddenly glancing around the room in a panic. She got up off the bed and ran past the small wall that separated the bedroom from the bathroom. Beyond here was the living room; low and behold, there was her InuYasha.

He was sleeping on the couch facedown.

Kagome sniffled. The fear, loneliness and betrayal she had just felt instantly slipped away from her mind as she gazed at the sleeping wonder.

The night was over; he was back to his original self! His cute little doggy ears were poking from the top of his head. His silver hair cascaded down over his back. He was a hanyou…he was gorgeous…and he was hers.

She ran to him quickly, pulling the sleeping hanyou into a tight embrace. His ears twitched at the sudden contact. When he opened his eyes he saw that Kagome was wrapped around him.

"Hey, Kagome…what's up?" InuYasha asked drowsily and returning the hug.

"Nothing; I just missed you," she confessed simply. As she said this, they heard a loud knocking at the door.

At first they were confused as to who it could be. They hadn't ordered room service or a wake up call. All wonderment of the visitor went away when Kagome heard a familiar voice pipe up from beyond the door.

"Ms. Higurashi?" Koga announced loudly, "I came to check up on you. I hope you're not still sleeping."

Kagome sighed as she tired to stand up so she could get the door. InuYasha pulled her back though. He stood up and put his index finger to his lips while winking at her.

"I'll take care of this, my lovely maiden," he said while giving her a charming grin. Kagome happily agreed to his little offer and gave him a quick kiss on the lips. She quickly stood up and made her way back to the other room, away from sight incase the door was opened.

The hanyou opened the door to meet Koga face-to-face. InuYasha's nose crinkled up as the wolf's stench struck his nose; the smelly demon was even more repulsive than usual; the scent of coffee was practically swimming off him.

"What do you want wolf cub?" InuYasha asked bitterly. Koga frowned at the half-breed that answered the door. He was far too tired to deal with this thing today.

"Nothing to do with you, mutt-breath," he spat back.

"Then what the hell do ya want? You really stink today…I don't want to puke from you so just leave," InuYasha ordered venomously.

"I came to talk with Kagome. What's it to you?" Koga snarled, deeply offended by the comment; no matter how much truth it held. It had been a long night and he was beyond tired. He just didn't have the energy to deal with this punk today…

"She's still sleeping, jackass. So, you either just come back later or not at all. The second option is most preferred," InuYasha replied in a sharp tone, his eyes flaring up.

Koga narrowed his sagging eyes back at him cruelly. He, however, turned around and left the doorway without another word. InuYasha was surprised that the wolf gave up so easily. Once the door had closed, the hanyou smirked proudly. He strutted into the bedroom where Kagome would be waiting.

"Kagome?" InuYasha asked confusedly while looking around for her. Before he could wonder where she was hiding in their small room, he heard the bathroom door click open. He turned around to see his Kagome, damp and glistening from a little shower she had quickly taken. "Didn't you just shower last night?" he asked smugly, walking up to her wet form.

"Sorry love, but I like to smell nice. With all these sensitive noses sniffing me out, I can't afford to let myself become stinky," she mockingly pouted. He rolled his eyes and hooped his arms around her nimble waist.

"How considerate of you. But there's only one nose around her that you should be trying to please," he stated suggestively. Kagome grinned, letting her wet head rest against his chest. "Why don't we do something fun to get your mind off this whole case thing--how's that sound Kagz?" InuYasha whispered into her ear.

She instantly smiled, liking the idea of spending a fun day with her Sir. Goth.

"What did you have in mind?" she asked.

"Oh, I don't know…a movie? Park? The mall? Anything you want to do I'm up for." He knew he didn't very much care for the mall idea but thought she would like the concept that he would do anything for her.

"Let's go to the mall," she stated quickly in a squeal of delight. "No, wait…the park! Ack! Let's go to the…uh…" she stuttered out, not being able to make up her mind.

"Don't worry. We have lots of time to figure that out," InuYasha assured her with an adoring smile.
