Author's Note: Okay, I'm just going to say this once. All the characters look a little different at first, except Inuyasha, who is in his human form. Over the course of this fanfic, they are going to go through changes, physical and mental, until they turn into what they look like in the anime.
Summary: Six totally different teenagers share one common bond. They all keep remembering memories and instincts that don't belong to them. In an attempt to solve this mystery, trust is found, love blooms, and a whole lot of confusion, with a few misunderstandings, forms.
Pairings: Inuyasha Kagome; Sango Miroku; Kagura Sesshoumaru
NOT FOR KIKYO FANS
DISCLAIMER: Don't own it. There.
Chapter Five: Peace
Peace. She will never, truly, understand that feeling until she is free, yet, right now, floating through the air on her white feather, she felt like she was at peace. The wind which she controlled flowing through her hair, the sweet scent of pine trees filling her nose. Peace felt like heaven.
"Kagura, hurry up! I don't want to be late!" Kanna's voice cut through her visions like a knife through butter. Kagura blinked, clearing the last of the dream.
'Now that was odd…maybe I finally lost it…' Kagura shook her head.
"Kagura!" Kanna yelled, exasperated.
"Okay! Okay! Sheesh!" Kagura yelled back, annoyance flashing in her light brown eyes. She rushed over to her sister, flinging her heavy backpack across her right shoulder.
Kanna was waiting on the sidewalk outside the high school. Her strange, white hair was swaying lightly in the wind.
'Wind? That dream…something about the wind…' Kagura frowned. She hated mysteries.
"Come on! What are you staring at?" Kanna sounded impatient.
"Keep your hair on, I'm coming," Kagura stated and shook off the odd sensations that were threatening to break through. Together, the two sisters went off, walking into town.
"Here's your stop," Kagura announced, sometime later. They stood in front of a large, white building with a sign that said, 'School of Music'.
"Remember, Kagura, pick me up at 5 sharp," Kanna said, then went into the building for her piano lessons. Kagura sighed.
'Finally, Kanna's off my back. Now I can just sit back and relax…' Kagura wandered, aimlessly, through the town, occasionally glancing in the windows of shops.
'Hm, cherry blossom scented shampoo…tempting…' she ran a hand through her spikey, very tangled, chestnut brown hair. 'Ouch,' she thought when her fingers snagged on a knot, 'Maybe I should consider taking care of it more…oh, well.' Shrugging, she went into a small cafe.
Immediately, the rich scent of roasting coffee filled her nose. She breathed deeply. 'Now, this is a comforting smell…'
"A small cup of black coffee," Kagura told the man behind the countertop. He nodded and started the machine. She waited a couple minutes and when it was done, she paid and took a seat near the window. Sipping the steaming drink, Kagura pondered the dream she had.
'Peace…and freedom. Don't I have those things? Why would feel such longing for them? It's like…I'm being kept from them, somehow. But…' Kagura's thoughts were interrupted by a guy sitting down in the chair across from hers. 'Oh, great, this table just had to be designed for two…'
"Hello, may I help you?" she asked, refusing to look at him, instead staring at her coffee.
"As a matter of fact, you can," he told her, "You look like the kind of woman that...can take on a challenge."
'Oh, great, a pervert,' she mentally rolled her eyes, 'Time to put this guy straight.'
"Look, here," she started, looking at him for the first time, "I-" she was cut off by a startled yell from her companion.
"Yo-your eyes! The-they're RED!" the guy screamed in horror and ran for it, leaving behind a very confused Kagura.
'Red? What is he talking about? They're brown. God, is that pervert color blind?' In spite of herself she calmly looked into the glass window near her. A pair of crimson eyes stared back at her.
'Oh, God, no…'
