-gome... Kagome...
All around her whispers of her name reached her ears, no specific direction in which these voices were coming from. It was everywhere; up, down, left, right. Within the void of darkness she found herself in Kagome couldn't see anything but herself, the voices growing louder and stronger. Her eyes caught movement within the darkness, shadows stirring all around her, circling her. A scent she was all to familiar with polluted the air.
Blood.
It was thick, hanging heavily up in the air as if she were surrounded in a pool of its crimson liquid. Within the darkness she saw piercing red eyes, and suddenly, her body was frozen, their gazes remaining locked. The amount of malice she felt flowing off this being was startling. It was malevolent. It's eyes spoke of nothing but evil in its purest of forms.
Yet someone, it was familiar. She had seen those eyes before. She had felt this devastating fear once before, a long time ago, but for what ever reason she could not remember where or why.
As she tried to move she found himself paralyzed. Her body refused to obey her. Slowly anxiety built up within her. Never had she felt as weak and helpless as she did in that very moment. It was like she was back to being a defenseless 15 year old again. The shadows caressed her body, their touch cold and biting like that of a sword. The whispers drew closer to her, behind her, in front of her. It was like she was surrounded by whatever was hiding in the dark, taunting her. Her Reiki refused to answer her call, leaving her feeling weaker then ever.
Kagome... Kagome... Kagome...
"Who's there! Who are you!" Kagome demanded as she struggled against whatever it was that was holding her still, binding her. The red eyes vanished. No one answered but the voices grew stronger with each call of her name. It became rushed, the voices now coming in quick chants of her name. Soon it was as if thousands of people were speaking at once without pause.

"Where am I!" Kagome snarled and with all her might tried once more to break free. She snarled and cursed as she struggled to move yet remained stuck, held in place. Then suddenly, they stopped. A strange ringing entered her ears the silence seemingly closing in on her as the ringing grew loader. The shadows had even stopped moving.
"What is this?" She asked herself. Not once since arriving in Middle Earth had her dreams taken such a drastic change. Yes, they may have been altering slightly through the past few months but nothing to this extent.
The hairs on the back of her neck suddenly stood on end. Someone was behind her, standing, watching. Its mouth, or what she assumed was its mouth, was now at her ear. It's very presence was cold, like ice near her skin. Puffs of cool air fanned her ear making her shiver.
"Kagome." And just like that the voice broke through the ringing in her ears shattering the silence of the void as it whispered into her ear. A burst of freezing cold air took over her body before being replaced with that of an intense heat.
Flames rose up from the ground, dancing around her, licking at her legs. Surrounded in what she assumed could only be Hell, Kagome moved her hand to her face, swatting at the embers while trying not to breath in the toxic smoke. Startled, she realized she was back in control of her limbs.
Priestess
She whipped around, her long inky tresses fanning out around her, searching for the dark and sinister voice that called her by her title- a title she no longer went by.
Priestess
Bright light seemed to erupt from behind her.
Turning slowly her eyes widened, staring up at a single silted eyes made of fire.
oOo
Amethyst eyes shot open, the breath she had lost in her shock retuning back to her lungs with greedy gasped for air. Feeling someone playing with her hair she turned, being greeted by Arwen's worried face.
"It brings to me much relief to see you've finally awoken. Another minute longer and I feared I may have had to call Father. Are you well, sister?"
Kagome gave the fair skinned elf a small smile. "I am well no. Do not worry for me, Arwen."
Her brows knitted together. "How can I not? You tossed and turned, moaned as if one of those Demons you always speak off were slaying you." She said.
Signing softly Kagome pulled Arwen into a tight hug. "It was just a bad dream. I really am fine now. Please don't worry yourself sick over something so small." She said before pulling away and smiling, "I could ask for no better sister."
Her heart gave a painful jerk. Determined brown eyes highlighted by pink flashed across her minds eyes.
Sango...
"Nor could I."
With one last hug Kagome excused herself, making her way towards her room. Once safely in her own bed chambers Kagome allowed her mask to fall, her posture slumped. She dragged a hand down her hair and over her tired face. How long would she last? Sleep was becoming a thing of fear. Even awake she was unsafe, her Sight bringing her new terrors. She didn't know what it was but she just knew, something big was coming. And whatever it was...
It wanted her.
oOo
AN!
Cyber treats to whoever can guess what or who was in her dream/Sight!
Voting so far;
Legolas- 11
Aragorn- 1
Both- 1
You all have until the next chapter to vote but I think it's pretty clear who is winning.
I gotta say I'm not really surprised at the outcome. Everyone loves Kagome with Legolas and Aragorn with Arwen.
To Mystical Shadow Priestess I feel your frustration. The few Aragorn/Kagome stories aren't finished or even in the process anymore. I promise I'll try to write one just for you some day! Cause honestly I want one too- even if it is my own work lol!
Votes for Prequel;
Yes- 3
I think I may just do a one-shot or write flashbacks somewhere.
Sorry for the short chapter! Hope you enjoy and please excuse my terrible grammar!
Till next time my dear minions!
