Chapter Two: Understanding Pt. 1

*I do not nor will I ever own Inuyasha*

Last Time:

Every muscle in body was tense and ready to attack anything that came through the bush. Suddenly the bush in front of me started moving and my knees bent ready to pounce. I was not sure what would come through the brush and it was that fact that scared me to death.

Now on with the story.........

I was poised for attack ready to face anything that might come my way when a doe and her two young fawns came into my view. I watched the two young bucks skip past me to the creek where they bent and began lapping at the cool surface. My gaze went from the fawns to their mother who was still standing near the bush. She looked to be frozen not a single muscle moved as she looked me over. Her large brown eyes were wide as she slowly came to her decision; on whether to flee with her young or not. I had by this time straitened back up an was simply standing there waiting for her to judge me. She finally came to a decision as she walked over to the water to join her children.

When the fawns where finished and refreshed they started to play in the meadow in while their mother watched over them keeping her distance from me. I sat a watched the happy family and was hit by the same pain that had attacked me earlier. The pain of loneliness was so strong it clenched at my heart and slowly squeezed it till I broke down into tears. I had no mother to look out for me , and no brothers or sisters to play with. Tears ran down my face as I tried and failed to regain some of my memories, if I had any. I pulled my knees to me and buried my face in my crossed arms that sat upon my knees. It made no sense, why would I loose my memories. What was I suppose to do with my life where was I to go. I had no one; no one to lean on or fight for. My life had no meaning. I sat there crying for a few minutes I would have stayed like that had I not been interrupted by the feeling of a rough wet surface over the outside of my hand. I looked up to find the mother of the two fawns licking the back of hand in an attempt to sooth and comfort me. I lifted my head and my eyes met hers. I could see the worry that my tears had caused her and though she was of no relation to me she still could not stand to see me in pain. It was then that I came to realize that I was not alone I was surrounded by the life of the forest. Though I knew not who I was I came to understand that until I settled down and thought the problem through that I would never get the answers I so desperately needed.

By this time the family of deer had left so I began to run again. Not having a destination or a time limit I ran at a slower pace than I had gone at earlier that day. This time I allowed myself to take in the world around me. I felt the life of the forest and the Earth around me. I fed off its power and I came to realize that I was the Earth. I was the wind, the trees, the grass, and the water. With this knowledge I began to slowed down it was starting to get dark and I did not know the area. I made up my mind that I was going to make camp and finally found a grove of what looked to be maple trees they were tall, and looked as if the bark was shedding. (AN these are called paperback Maples)I jumped up into its branches and settled there for the night. For the longest time I sat there staring at the leaves of the tree as they swayed in the night wind. Again I thought about who I was and what was my purpose here and as the last sign of day slip behind the tree line and the moon took the sun's place in the sky I fell asleep with those thoughts clouding my mind.

Kagome's Dream

I saw this light in front of me it was so bright that I knew if I continued to look at it that I would go blind. At least that is what my logical self tried to tell me. I was not listening though because at that time the light began to fade and I could see the shape of woman standing in front of me. The light was coming from her and as it continued to fade I was able to see what she looked liked.

I stood in aw of what had to the most beautiful person I have ever seen. She stood about 5' 6" only taller than me by maybe three inches. Her skin held was pale but at the same time had an almost pink glow to it. Her eyes were dark gold and shined with wisdom, power, and kindness. Her hair flowed down her back and dragged the ground a good two inches behind her; it was the softest colour orange almost a pinkish . She wore a red dress that was off the shoulders with a small train, and gold armour that covered her shoulders and chest.

We stood there for a while just staring at each other trying to figure out what the other was thinking. I finally came out of my stupor and spoke in a small desperate voice afraid that if I was any louder she would disappear and leave me all alone again. "Who are your" I asked wanting to know but not caring if she gave an answer. I was happy to be with someone even if it was just a dream.

She looked me in the eye and the moment our eyes locked I knew she was no ordinary person. She held my gaze and as she did I felt as if she were looking into my very soul. Finally she blinked and spoke in a voice that was quite but caught your attention, "Kagome, my name is Wakahiru-Me I am the goddess of the dawn and I am here to tell you that you are the chosen.
