A Dream And An Unusual Afternoon.
A.N. I am sorry that my chapters are short I write them and they seem long and post them usually from my phone because I finish it while I'm waiting for sleep to consume me. I just realized on my laptop they're barely a scroll down. Knowing this now future chapters should be longer... that or I'll feel bad and end up taking the whole story away until I can make it longer. I hope though it doesn't come to that since so many are happy with it so far.. or at least you sure seem like it. Anyways off with the next chapter.
Disclaimer: Inuyasha is not mine nor ever will be.

She smiled up at the man who was holding her. His silver hair slightly covering them from the rest of the world. There was the sound of water splashing all around them and a slight cool breeze. She didn't notice the breeze too much though because his body heat kept her warm. Her eyes were locked onto his motlen amber ones, they were filled with love, caring, and trust. The man who held her so close, so protective trusted her even though she had no clue who he was. His finger held her chin upwards towards his face, his claw gently touching her skin. He came closer, closer, and their lips touched sending goose bumps up her arms and butterflies dancing in her tummy. She didn't want the kiss to end, she wanted more. He broke the kiss and smiled down at her placing his forehead against hers. She brought her hand up and touched her lips which were tingling. Then it hit her. She knew who he was. All of a sudden he was drenched and glaring at her. Water was everywhere, dripping, red. She looked around confused. Water was not red. Then the pain hit. Her head was pounding and with each pound there was more blood. Her sides were bruised and she was sure she had a broken rib, or at least cracked. She looked back up at the man who was drenched and saw her sister in his arms. They were beautiful next to each other, his silver hair and warm amber eyes contrasted her sisters black hair and cold dark brown ones. Even though his eyes were warm, they were both glaring at her, looking at her like she deserved it.
'Did they do this to me?' She thought before it all went dark. 'Am I dead?'
Inuyasha paced in the lobby of the hospital. He was pissed at himself for letting 'him' do that. He had heard her screams, he had smelt her tears. Yet all he did was stand outside and wait? For what? He didn't know, he just knew he couldn't move; he didn't know what to do. If it wasn't for Kikyo calling him crying saying Kagome was in trouble, she could have died. He would have been too late. He may still be too late. They wouldn't tell him anything because he wasn't family. He couldn't ask anyone in her family because they weren't there, they were dealing with the cops, which was all the way across town at their home. He turned and saw a man with silver hair, two purple streaks on both sides of his cheeks, and a purple crescent moon on his forehead and a doctor's white coat go into a room not too far away. He ran towards the room the figure disappeared in. He was determined that he was going to get some answers one way or another, even if it meant asking the devil himself.
"Sesshomaru. Please tell me something, nobody else will." The man turned and looked at him, flipped a chart and looked down at it. Inuyasha growled at him not believing he was ignoring him.
"Half-breed silence. You'll wake her." Inuyasha then realized who was in the bed in front of Sesshomaru. She looked pale and sickly, almost like she was gone. He walked over to the side of her bed and grabbed her hand and sat on the bed being careful not to hurt her. "She's just a little bruised; had a bit of blood loss. Over all she's fine and will be able to go home in a couple of days." Sesshomaru's cold stare returned to Inuyasha. "Doesn't surprise me a filthy half-breed was too scared to save her sooner. It shames me every time I have to call you my brother." Inuyasha just ignored him looking at the girl lying next to him. Sesshomaru didn't care, he had other things he had to do and walked out returning to his work.
Inuyasha felt like crap, and what Sesshomaru said didn't help that any. He knew he should have stopped it the first hit that happened. He knew something was going to happen the second he seen Souta's face with tear lines streaking his face. He knew, and did nothing. He was trying so hard to not hurt anyone, to try and understand what was going on between him and her, but the world was against him.
He hadn't been able to go back to sleep since his dreams that night. He ended up driving for the longest time in circles then decided to walk instead, not feeling comforted by the hum of the car. While he was walking he saw Kagome walking alone, bobbing her head to music. He started following her from a distance watching her, protecting her if anything were to attack, but when something did all he did was stand there, listening from behind a big tree, paralyzed by fear. He knew something was going on before she entered. He felt pathetic. He grabbed a chair and pulled it next to the bed and grabbed her hand again placing it under his head entwined with his. He was exhausted. He was asleep.
"Now do you understand?" Inuyasha turned around looking for the voice that had just spoken. He couldn't see anything in the darkness. "You will only hurt her and the ones she is close to. You weren't meant to meet her. Your past will repeat itself."
"My past?" Inuyasha asked giving up on finding the voice in the dark. He swore he had heard that voice before, it was very familiar. "What are you talking about?"
"Would you like me to show you again?" The voice asked. Inuyasha looked confused. He wondered if this person was toying with him.
"What do you want?" He asked angrily, his patience thinning.
"Isn't it obvious? Stay away from her." The darkness started to fade and voices could be heard around him.
"I'm okay. It was my fault honestly." Kagome told the woman holding a small notepad dressed in blue pants and button up shirt. "I came home and threatened him, he just was defending himself." She was lying and felt horrible for it, and it wasn't the first time this had happened.
"Are you sure Ms. Kagome? You can be honest with me nothing will happen to you." The lady said placing a hand on Kagome's arm.
"Mmm," Kagome nodded at the lady then continued. "Trust me miss. I am telling you the truth." She was starting to lose it. Never had they pushed before, it was normally just a speech about how your parents are in charge and can do what they want when you live in their house, under their roof where they pay the bills.
"Alright well if you ever need anything just give me a call." The lady handed her a business card and Kagome took it with her one free hand and nodded at the lady before she walked out of the room.
"Your ears are twitching. You're awake." Kagome softly said rubbing one of his ears. His head shot up and his eyes glared at her, making her flinch.
"You lied."
"How would you know? And why are you even here?" Kagome jerked her hand away and crossed her arms across her chest, soon regretting it and placing them at her sides again.
"Keh," he scoffed at her mimicking her by crossing his arms across his chest. "I heard it all with these ears."
"How did you hear it all? I understand the ears but they can't hear for miles. And you live a pretty far distance from me." Kagome was shifting though all the possibilities she could think of. She figured he was on his way to see Kikyo and probably didn't want to get in the middle of it when it all went down. Inuyasha on the other hand was panicking wondering what he was going to tell her. He obviously couldn't tell her the truth because then she'd think he was a stalker.
"I, uh, was going into town to see someone and Kikyo called me crying telling me that your dad went crazy and attacked you. She said you weren't moving and you were bleeding and that she didn't know what to do. I told her to call 911 and headed over to your house. You were passed out when I got there and he was still beating on you." He explained partly telling the truth partially not. Kagome just nodded looking tired again.
"Well thank you but I'm tired. I'd like to get some sleep." She chuckled thinking that this was the most sleep she had gotten in months.
"I'll stay right here till you fall asleep. Your family isn't here yet." Kagome nodded and smiled at him half asleep. He brushed her hair away from her face and noticed Kagome fell completely to sleep. Inuyasha stood and kissed her hand. "I'll make sure he never hurts you again." With that said he walked out the door calling Sango and letting her know so Kagome had someone next to her and she wouldn't be alone.
Kikyo went left her home finally going to pick up Souta from the park. The police officers had finally let her go after questioning why she had put her mother into the closet and locked her in. Kikyo had barely gotten out of that and almost ended up splitting up their whole family. She wasn't too upset about having different parents, but she knew that her and her siblings would be separated. That just couldn't happen. Not now, not after what her sister and the man she thought she loved did behind her back. She didn't exactly know what they were doing, but she was going to find out some way.
Kikyo hated that she called Inuyasha when her sister was being beaten. She honestly had no clue who else to call. She knew he would jump to save her or anyone she cared about, and he knew she cared about her sister and brother. The way he looked when he saw Kagome on the ground killed her. He looked torn apart, abandoned, afraid, most of all he had a look she'd never seen before, one she believed was love. Love that was deep in his heart, his heart which was being broken, beaten, and ripped right out of his chest. She couldn't help but feel bad for him, and she couldn't help but hate her sister and him even more. Kikyo grabbed the steering wheel tighter wishing it was her sister's neck.
"She will pay. She will learn not to take what is not hers. Even if it costs her, her life." She pulled up into a parking spot in front of the park and honked the horn getting attention from everyone nearby. Souta even heard it and looked over to see who it was. Seeing his sister's car he told his friends goodbye and sadly walked to the car. He didn't want to go back to their home. Expecially without Kagome, and he knew that she wouldn't be home for a while. He knew because this wasn't the first time things have happened between her and their parents. He opened the door with a sigh and looked over at Kikyo.
"Hey buddy. Why don't we go see Kagy before we head home. There are still a few hours of visitation left." Souta nodded at her with a small smile and buckled up in the car. Not saying a word, because Kikyo was just as fake as his parents were. They all believed he didn't know of anything going on, but he was a smart kid who knew a lot more than he was giving off.

It was going to be longer but at first I had the chapter title as Ordinary Morning… and decided not to halfway through cause the whole end of the chapter thing… but I was going to put a couple things in on Kags walk but didn't just because of the first title part.. prolly would have made it longer. Oh and thanks for thinking the chapter ending was good.. I was debating the whole time if he was going to show up or not..

And yea I don't personally hate Kikyo… but I agree she makes a damn good villain. One of the best. Naraku being first. Lol Yes I like it too… I mean just the age really changed nothing else.. so it's not like the story really changed at all.. just letting people know for when her birthday comes up they don't get confused when she turns 18 when she was only 16 :) Oh and I do have plans for the dad… I have a feeling he wont be a problem again… hehehehe *Laughs and grins evily*
Suikidoen: You know what? I am seriously thinking the same… Idk 'bout you but she gives me the creeps sometimes.. Who is Kikyo? What is going on with her? It's all so confusing! My head MY head! Lol.. I got plans don't worry.. I'm not going completely in the dark with her… :P

DelSan 13: hahaha And if you remember Kikyo was busy keeping her mom away cause both of them knew if something were to happen her mom would have joined to defend her father… Not Kagome… so in all honesty Kikyo was helping… She ended up helping more than you know hehe… Soon all your questions will hopefully be answered… the most ones I've got are about Kikyo really.. because she herself is a mystery. :P And for the wanting to kill people part.. yes that is normal… trust me.. In Claireness77 story I tried to kill Kikyo.. tried because she wouldn't let me.. lol
