"A Love to Remember"
Chapter 8: Dreaming?
Sorry for the looong wait but I've been tired and busy!
Narrator's POV:
Kagome ran into the bathroom and locked the door. What she saw was a complete nightmare, that's an understatement, a true horror is more appropriate. How could this happen? What did happen! Why did his eyes change color? Was he lying to her about something? Was that 'person' Sesshomaru? So many questions, yet so few explanations. Well, so few explanations that made sense or the ones she was willing to except.
Pacing inside the bathroom, it was enormous, but the size wasn't important to her right now. She was only concerned for her wellbeing, her love, her 'lover', her sanity. Due to the lack of the nourishment and from having a very eventful morning, Kagome sat down on the floor Indian style. Leaning her head upon the lip of the tub, (that's the edge if you didn't know) Kagome thought about different possibilities that could explain the situation. However, each one was only more outrageous than the last.
"He just has allergies."
"He was wearing contacts"
"He's an alien"
"He's a demon"
"He's lying about something, but what can I do? What am I suppose to do?"
Suddenly, Kagome felt very dizzy, and her vision began to become unfocused. Not really knowing what to do, and not wanting to be around Sesshomaru at this appointed time, Kagome allowed unconsciousness to envelop her into a world of darkness. The last thing she heard was a faint sound of someone knocking.
"Kagome's Dream":
"Hello young one" said a voice.
Turning around violently to face the sound of the unfamiliar voice, Kagome stood there in shock and her eyes widen like saucers.
She couldn't utter a word. She was completely speechless.
Chuckling slightly at her bewildered and horrific (horrified/ terrified) expression, the figure said, "Don't worry child I won't harm you"
Finding her voice, thought it sounded meek, yet steady, Kagome replied "Who are you? Where am I?"
The man was tall and slim, yet built. He looked to about 6'3, and he very much appeared to be intimidating with two swords on his hip, yet the way he talked you could very much say that he was kind and most certainly wise. He had long silky silver hair, and he had piercing golden eyes. His face was kind looking, and they had markings on them. Two blue lines adored his cheeks and a blue crescent moon on his forehead.
His attire was that of the Japanese culture, more so of the 3rd dynasty. He had a red kimono on that was designed with floors that were red, purple, blue, and had green vines that connected them to create various designs. He had an under kimono under the red one that looked to be black. His hair was loosely hanging around his shoulders. He appeared to that of a royal family seeing that his attire spoke fully of royal or a very high status in the Japanese culture, yet he wore no shoes. Strange, she thought.
Normally, only people of royalty or of a very high social status could wear a kimono like the one he was wearing, which you could tell just by looking at it that it was made out of the finest silk. Also, only people with a high status can wear a black under kimono under the main one. Mostly families that were farmers or lower class merchants would only wear white or very light colors because of the heat, unless for very special occasions.
However, his clothing did not astonish her the most, it was his bodily appearance that did. He looked to be that of a youki. She heard many stories from her grandfather about them, how they were creatures that had not a heart and were only out for power and blood. Also, and ironically, in her history class they were studying the ancient Japanese culture and this chapter dealt mostly with ancient creatures, demons. His markings also gave her more evidence that supported her hypothesis on him being high class. Only royalty could bear the markings that he had, especially the crescent moon on his forehead. And he had razor sharp claws that were right in front of her face and she noticed that one was touching her cheek.
Wait. Sharp claws in front of her, and touching her. Oh HELL NO!
Taking a few steps back and looking up to face the demon, Kagome asked"What do you want?"
"You were staring and plus I need to talk to you Kagome." The youki explained blandly.
"I don't know and how do you know my name?" she asked shockingly.
"Kagome I know a lot about you, more than you know of yourself. But, before I tell you the long story let me tell you who I am. I am Inutashio, Lord of the Western lands."
Still not fully grasping what was going on around her, Kagome stood there dumbfounded.
"Huh?" was the only reply he received from her.
Sighing slightly Inutashio went on, "I heard that you saw something in Sesshomaru that you haven't seen before and that Inuyasha has done some disgraceful things." His voice was very strong and held power, but it also rang with compassion, concern and even pity.
"H-how did you hear-find out about that?'' she responded softly while tears started to stream down her face.
He took a few steps towards her until he was directly in front of her. Inutashio placed a clawed hand on her cheek and quietly said to her, "I know it hurts, but you must know why it has happened," then he added "again."
'Again' that was all that was ringing in her ears. That meant that what's been going on lately has already repeating itself. But how? How could she not remember nearly getting raped? How can she not remember feeling terrified by someone she deeply cared for? The questions where only adding up to more questions but no answers.
"What do you mean?" she asked in a hushed voice.
"I'll show you," Inutashio said handing her his hand, waiting for her to accept it.
Kagome hesitated, but she ended up taking his offered hand. Mostly out of curiosity, but another part of her new that she could trust him. However, she didn't know that her life would be changed forever.
