Ch 5; Nightmare Aftermath
Inuyasha awoke with a jerk, sweat pouring like mad down his neck. He sat up, breathing heavily as he thought about his dream. It had seemed so real…so familiar…and he hated it.
He Hated Kikyo. He hated that bastard Naraku. But most of all, he hated himself.
Inuyasha hadn't had that dream quite a while. It had been over a year in fact, since that terrible dream happened. Except, one year ago it hadn't been a dream. It was real. It had really happened.
Things played out exactly like the dream. It was true; at first, Inuyasha had wanted nothing more then the power Kikyo's blood would give him. He only wanted her so he could achieve his life's dream; to become a feared creature of the night, the most powerful vampire who ever surfaced in the land of the living. But then things changed.
I still wanted all of it. The power, her blood…but things were different. I…I began to love her. But, who could love a vampire? Even worse, a half-breed like me?
She had refused him. She had recoiled from him like he was a snake about to strike her, a disgusting beast. And what's worse, she had given him that look. That horrible look of disgust and hatred, one that he had seen only on other vampires faces. He had thought that she was different, that she would accept him for what he was…that she might actually care for him. Blinded by love, he had expected her to stay with him through thick and thin like he would have for her. She would love him regardless of what he was, and give up her puny mortal life, so she could share an eternity with him. But he had been foolish. When he had made his offer and declaration of love, Inuyasha had expected her to throw her life away willingly to him. But life wasnt that simple.
They had been through so much together. The bond they had shared was so strong, it seemed almost impossible that it could have broken. No one could hurt them as long as they were together. Through thick and thin, it had always been the two of them, never one without the other. When she had betrayed him that feeling had been ripped out of his soul, leaveing a huge hole in his chest where his heart once was, nothing but hurt and misery remaining.
The worst part about it was that, even if she did not love him anymore, he had lost her. Even when she had rejected him…betrayed him, he had still loved her. Still wanted to stay with her, at least have her around. Anything would be better then never seeing her again, even if she loathed his very existence. But in that one monstrous moment, he had lost her. And it was all his fault.
Flashback:
Inuyasha stood in the doorway, his eyes wide with shock and hurt. Kikyo's scent had changed. "Kikyo…you…Naraku…"
Kikyo glared at him harshly, her eyes cold and full of hate as she wrapped her arms around the man next to her; Naraku. "What's the matter, vampire? Disappointed? Well guess what? I'm not pure anymore. You can't use me for you sick, twisted plot." She smirked. "And you don't have my love anymore. That's saved specially for Naraku here." She glared at him when she saw that he didn't move. "What do you want? Can't you get the picture? No one loves you. No one cares about you. And now, you will never become the monster you desire to be." Kikyo was cut off when Inuyasha's sharp claws pierced through her stomach. She looked up at him in shock, "Inuyasha...no! Please, don't!" but he couldn't see her. He couldn't hear her. His senses had overwhelmed him, and his anger had blinded him. He craved Her blood, and nothing else. With a ferocious growl he sank his teeth into her neck as she screamed in terror, but he didn't stop. He sucked the blood from the wound in her neck until she went limp, and even then his monstrous bloodlust didn't stop.
"What are you doing? Get off of her, you beast!" Naraku yelled, punching him in the face, though it did nothing.
Inuyasha looked up, his glowing red eyes hungry and beastly. With a sickening look he had leapt towards the Naraku, killing him in one slash of his claws. Satisfied when the body was limp on the ground, he stood up and looked towards Kikyo.
It was then that the red in his eyes turned to gold, and he became conscious of his surroundings. His eyes were wide with shock as he saw Kikyo's body limp on the ground, and he froze. He saw the blood on the ground, and he was worried. What on earth could have happened?
"KIKYO!" he cried as he ran over to her, tears in his eyes as he scooped up the limp body. He began to shake her, trying to wake her up. ""KIKYO! Please don't be dead! Please Kikyo!" Who could have done this? He looked down at her closed eyelids, and a mark on her neck caught his eye. A BITE MARK! It was then that he tasted the fresh blood on his lips. Her blood. His teary eyes were wide with ultimate suffering as realisation sunk in. "KIKYOOOOOOO!"
End of Flashback
He had killed her that night. Her and the bastard who had stolen her from him. His anger and hurt had clouded over his senses, and he lost control. After a few minutes his senses returned, but it by then was too late. By the time he could see clearly through his eyes, there were two bodies on the ground next to him. Both of them dead. And if Kikyo was dead from his bite, then it was impossible for her to become a vampire. That would only happen if she wasn't killed by the bite. But she was. She was truly gone. Forever.
"Why, Kikyo?" Inuyasha whimpered to himself. "Why did you do that to me? I thought you loved me." He gritted his teeth together angrily, clenching his fists as he banged on the table. "WHY DID YOU DO THAT? WHY KIKYO?" he roared in anguish, only to hear his own echo in the empty house he lived in.
It was all her fault. He had asked her a simple question…ok, so maybe it wasn't all that simple, but it was still only a question! And because of that, she had left him for another guy, and gave up everything to him! And in his anger he lost control and litterally drained her of blood, so much that she was unable to make the transfer into a vampire! And, to top it all off, she hadn't been pure anymore, so drinking her blood had done him no good! He lost control and killed his one and only love, the only one he knew who once could have made him a full vampire, and he'd gained nothing from it!
All of this had been stuck in Inuyasha's mind for the past year. There was nearly a month where he had not left his room, drinking only the blood that he had in the fridge. Miroku and Sango had been so worried about him…it was all he could do to keep them out of his house. As far as they knew, Kikyo had only cheated on him then left. They obviously had no clue what really happened, and that was exactly how Inuyasha wanted it.
One thing about that dream was scratching at the back of his mind though; why had it been that wench Kagome at the beginning of the dream, not of Kikyo? He had barely even met that new girl, and he was already dreaming about kissing her?
It was probably just because the two of them look so similar. Inuyasha told himself. Nothing to get worked up about. Just…coincidence. That's all. That made sense, since you really have no control over your dreams. After settling that matter in his mind, his thoughts drifted back to his former lover.
The whole affair angered him to the core. He hated himself for what he had done, he hated her for refusing him and then betraying him for that Naraku. As Inuyasha thought about it, he grew angered as his thoughts flowed with hate. "the little bitch" he hissed bitterly. Soon, his anger had clouded his vision, and his vampiric senses began to grow. His eyes were turning blood red, and Inuyasha felt an uncontrollable craving for warm, flowing blood.
Knock, knock, knock!
Inuyasha hissed, his red eyes staring at the door hungrily. So, the hunted comes to the hunter. Mmmmmm. Inuyasha stood up, creeping towards the door, the bloodlust overwhelming him.
"Inuyasha? Are you awake yet?"
Inuyasha froze. That voice…he knew it from somewhere. Is that voice…food? Of course it was...or was it?
"Inuyasha, it's Miroku! Open up!"
Miroku.
Inuyasha shook his head to try and restrain his anger. When he opened his eyes, they were amber once more. Sighing gratefully, he murmured the spell that hid his vampiric features, and went to the door. "What is it, Miroku?" he growled.
He looked at Inuyasha funny. "Uhh, I'm here to give you a ride to school? You know…like I do every day?" he looked closely at his friends expression. "Dude, are you ok? You look really stressed."
Inuyasha mentally slapped himself. Stupid, stupid! "Oh, right! Sorry, I had a rough night, but nevermind that lets just go."
Miroku chuckled at him, then a huge grin spread itself across his face as he looked at Inuyasha again. "So…any particular reason you want me to drive you to school in your boxers? There are other ways of getting woman's attention, you know!"
Inuyasha slammed the door in his friends face, a small blush on his own. I can't believe I went outside in my boxers! I cant believe I became a vampire in my boxers… Inuyasha shook his head. Weird. He turned around to walk down the hall.
"I'm still out here!" Miroku called from behind the door, when he began to worry that Inuyasha had forgotten him.
Inuyasha groaned. "Well, either get comfortable or go to school without me! I'm gonna be a while!"
"Fine, see ya there then!" Inuyasha heard his faint footsteps leave his porch and the car engine as it drove away. With a heavy sigh, he sat back on the couch, head in his hands. Man that was just too close. I almost attacked him! He shook his head, trying to clear his thoughts to no avail. I think I need a shower. That sounded like a really good idea, so Inuyasha stood up and walked into the bathroom to take a nice, cold shower to calm him down. Only once he was sure his senses were under control would he dare leave the house. And one thing was certain; he was NOT going to English class today.
ok moving on to Kags:
Kagome woke up Screaming. She looked around at the dark room in a sort of daze, thinking about the nightmare. Shaking, she sat up in bed, while rubbing her arms to comfort herself. That had been one freaky dream.
I guess it sort of makes sense She thought to herself I mean, after an experience like that, why wouldn't I have nightmares about it. I was scared out of my wits then…no wonder I recalled it in my dreams. But…What was Inuyasha doing in my dream? And why was he a…a vampire?
That didn't make sense at all. She had just met Inuyasha, if u could even call that a meeting. And she new for a fact that he was not the one who attacked her. So…why was she having dreams about him? It just didn't make any sense. Trying to clear her head, she reached over to her bedside table for some water, only to find that the glass was empty. Greatttt. Instead, Kagome got out of bed and went downstairs to get some.
Stupid Inuyasha. If he hadn't been so rude to her today (well technically yesterday since it was really early morning now) then she wouldn't have had that nightmare…or at least that was the only real reason she could come up with.
He had been such a jerk! She just met him and she already hated him. He didn't even try to be friendly. Instead he gave her the cold shoulder times 100! Lets just say thinking about him was starting off her morning really sour.
Kagome looked at the clock, which read a little after five. Kagome groaned miserably Greeeeeaaaaaaattttttttt. Now I'm going to show up for day two completely exhausted. And, as far as she was concerned, it was all Inuyasha's fault.
She thought about going back to sleep, but to be honest there wouldn't be much point. Once she moved, it would take a long time for her to get back to sleep. Besides, she'd have to get up in a little over an hour anyways. Kagome settled for heading over to the TV and browsing the channels. Nope…nothing…nadda…geeze there is never anything good on when you get the time to watch it! After a minute she heard the 6teen theme song. Yes! Finally! Something to watch! 6teen may be a cartoon, but Kagome found it hilarious and loved to watch it.
Kagome had seen this episode before, but she didn't really have anything better to do at five in the mourning, so she watched it. Besides, as far as she was concerned, there was nothing wrong with seeing the same show twice. Once it was over there was nothing to watch anymore, so she just turned it off and lay there, staring at the ceiling. The only problem was, whenever her mind wasn't occupied she began to replay the dream in her mind. And, with the TV off, she began to hear the noises of the house. And, with the dream replaying in her mind, she kept having this feeling that they were the footsteps that she heard in the alley…
Stop this Kagome! That's just the AC! Their not footsteps! You are being paranoid.
That's what you said in the ally…
Groaning in frustration, Kagome stood up and walked over to the kitchen. You just need something to distract you that's all. Just until everyone starts to wake up…which should be really soon…I bet they'll all want breakfast! Yea, that's a good idea She thought for a moment about what to make, but wasn't really sure what she had to work with. It wasn't very often she had the time to cook, besides the fact that she wasn't sure what was in the fridge, them being so new to the house.
Kagome settled for raiding the fridge for some food. Once she had what she wanted, she got out a bowl and began mixing the pancake batter and turned on the stove. Soon the sun was up and the delicious aromas 'had called her mom down the stairs and into the kitchen.
"My, Kagome your up early." Her mother said, a little surprised.
"Well, I kinda woke up and I couldn't get back to sleep, so I thought I'd make breakfast to pass the time." She told her mother, smileing.
Souta walked into the kitchen, his eyelids still half closed. "mmm…what smells s'good?" he mumbled.
"Breakfast!" Kagome said cheerily.
Her brother's eyes went wide. "You mean YOU made breakfast!"
Kagome rolled her eyes and set his plate down, which was stuffed with pancakes, eggs, and several types of meat rolls. "There ya go!"
Her brother eyed the food suspiciously. "Are you sure you didn't poison this stuff?" she only glared at him and he shut up. Then he began to stuff his face with food, eyes wide. "wow kgome, dis stf ant haf crummmi!"
Kagome glared at him. "See if I ever make you breakfast again!" she went over and filled a plate for herself and started chewing contentedly. "Wow, I'm good! This stuff rules!" she couldn't help but eat really fast, it just looked so good…it was calling to her!
"It is pretty good, Kagome. Thanks for the breakfast, dear." Her mother told her. Kagome got up and put her plate away. "You may want to hurry up though; you're going to be late if you don't start getting ready now!"
"Oh my gosh your right! AH!" with a startled squeal Kagome raced upstairs into the shower before she was late.
At School;
"Yes!" Kagome punched the air in triumph. "Made it here with time to spare!" grinning happily, Kagome walked into the crowded school.
Now that she was in the school, she started to feel a little edgy, being surrounded by so many people going in every direction. And no one even seemed to notice that she was there! They all just kept walking, completely ignoring her and bumping her around like she wasn't even there.
Unfortunately for her, while she was trying to squirm through the crowd without being knocked to the ground, she wasn't watching where she was going. That didn't really make sense, since she was trying so hard to NOT run into someone, that's what she ended up doing. Lets just say she was trying so hard that she didn't notice as much as she should, but either way she ended up falling on her butt, knocking another person down with her.
"Oh my god I'm so sorry!" Kagome apologized quickly, looking at the person on the ground in front of her.
"Well you should be, you clumsy wench! Why don't ya watch where you're going next time..." Inuyasha's arrogant voice drifted off when he saw who he had bumped into.
Kagome's eyes widened with shock when she saw who it was. "Oh, Inuyasha's! It's you!" she suddenly had a thought…when she looked at Inuyasha; she remembered the sight of the man that night. The one who had helped her in the alley. I'm almost positive it was him that night. He seems so… familiar.
But, to her dismay, he only glared at her harshly. "Ya, it's me! What's your point wench?" he snapped, hate filling his voice.
She looked away, feeling very apprehensive and on the verge of tears. "N-nothing…its just…never mind! Bye!" Kagome leapt up, bangs covering her eyes darkly as she scooped up her books. Clutching them tightly, she ran down the hallway in the opposite direction; away from him.
Inuyasha watched her disappear into the crowd, staring blankly into space. Was it his imagination, or did he smell faint tears there? After a moment he got up and walked the other way. What do I care. If the stupid wench has emotional problems, then tough shit. It's her problem. if only she didnt smell so good...
With kags:
Kagome slammed the Bathroom door in frustration. Slightly teary-eye, she looked at herself in the wall mirror, glareing at her reflection merely for lack of something to glare at. What a jerk! She thought to herself angrily. Well, if he wants to act like that, then let him! What do I care?
Unfortunately, she knew instantly that she was lying to herself. She had always been somewhat of a sucker to other peoples opinion, and to know that someone disliked her to the extent Inuyasha did hurt her to the core. Why does he hate me so? I haven't done anything to him, and he treats me like I'm the bloody grim reaper!
To add to her distressful mood, there was also the small fact that she was almost positive he was the man she had seen that night she was attacked. His hair…his voice! Everything about him made her think of that man. But…there was no way he could be the man she had been daydreaming about. That man was kind and noble, a knight in shining armor who would have been thrilled to see her again; the exact opposite of Inuyasha.
Even though Kagome had her mind set that it was NOT Inuyasha, her heart was telling her otherwise. It was that voice of his. That dreamy voice…wait a second! Dreamy? When did that come form? The guy was a total asshole! A seriously hot asshole…but one nonetheless. Kagome shook her head angrily at the hot comment, trying to push that thought from her head, but having no success. There was absolutely no way that she was falling for him! She couldn't, besides, he obviously had no interest in her, so why should she even try? I really shouldn't look into this too much… I'm not falling for him, I'm just admiring his looks, that's all. Nothing special. She looked at her watch. Oh, shit! I'm going to be late for homeroom!
Still thinking about Inuyasha, she began jogging down the hallway. Man, this sucks! Why do all the attractive ones have to be such jerks?
