Chapter Sixteen The Night
Tomorrow night is nothing but one long sleepless wrestle with yesterdays' omissions and regrets.
– William Faulkner
Kurama woke up in the heavy night and sat up straight up in bed, trying hard not to scream.
With difficulty, he choked on the scream and stilled his throat, though his heart hammered on, and his throat burned with his heavy gulps of air.
It was getting worst.
It was always this way when he had that particular dream – shivering uncontrollably, sweat pouring down her body, and the past feeling so close he could touch it.
Kuronue.
Bending over where he sat, Kurama had held his face and forcibly calmed his breathing as he listened to his heart pound like thunder, as though seeking a way out of his chest.
It wasn't that long ago since he had last dreamed that horrible nightmare. But, he had still woken up with a cry in his throat and a blade through his chest.
It was always the same.
Kurama couldn't forgive himself.
Kuronue.
He got up.
It wouldn't be good to reminisce on the past.
The past was the past. The present was now. The future was later.
He washed his face and looked at the lone star in the dark sky.
It was only three in the morning.
Then, Kagome's face popped into his mind.
Her dark silky locks whipping around her face.
Her extraordinary blue eyes.
Her smile which could make his heart lift up.
Her rosy cheeks.
Her.
He sighed. He was getting obsessed with her.
But she was so unique that she had captured his heart.
He wished that he could see her now, face to face..
He jumped down from the window. Hiei would be waiting.
Hiei was the one who understood the most.
Kurama smiled a small smile. Just a few more hours, then he could see her.
Kagome.
And he would have a taste of her.
He had a kitsune in him after all; and kitsunes' were very sensual creatures.
He smirked.
Kagome will be ours.

"So… What do you think of the other new guys in school?" Sango asked.
"Well…"
"Well? Well what?" Sango pressed.
"I don't know…" Kagome said uncertainly.
Emerald green eyes flash in her mind.
Unfathomable and profound eyes. Full of secrets, of pain and of hurt.
Green; like the forest. Sunlight streams through the leaves, illuminating the trees and plants. Like the sparkle in his eyes. The glow that seems to brighten up his otherwise dark features. To make him look youthful, full of life.
Flowing red hair. Whipping trough a face that seemed so perfect.
Red; like blood and yet at the same time, it symbolizes love. Love, a feeling so pure that could lift a person's heart and the feeling of happiness.
Kagome closed her eyes for a moment.
Blood.
War.
You caused this.
You…
Kagome shuddered. She shook her head slightly to clear the images, and willed herself not to cry.
Sango didn't notice. Kagome gave a sigh of relief.
"You have to admit. Even though that Shuichi guy was a youkai, he was hot."
Kagome shuffled her feet. Sango looked at her strangely. "You met him before haven't you?" she said accusingly, an eyebrow arched.
"You see… Um…" Kagome mumbled, her face getting redder by the moment.
"I knew it!" Sango said in triumph. It was late at night and Sango stifled her laughter in case Inuyasha's sensitive ears picked them up.
He would throw a fit if he knew the two girls were talking about guys. Sango didn't know what Miroku would say, but knowing him; he would just smile and encourage her to meet up with more guys.
Miroku's fear of pulling the others into the kazaana was getting worst. He would constantly isolate himself and if he ever felt a sharp sting, he would immediately leave the group for a few days with some silly excuse.
Sango knew his kazaana was hurting. She saw him kneeling in pain once. Clutching the cursed hand. And suppressed his cries of anguish.
Sango wanted so badly then to hold him in her arms and to help him through those terrible times but…
Sango! Get away from me!
Houshi – sama! I can help you!
Iie! You cannot! Get away! You might get hurt Sango! Don't come near me!
Get away!
Get lost!
You are not needed! You won't be able to help me!
Get LOST!
And he had pushed her. Clutching his hand and running away.
He had apologized furiously when he felt better, but Sango knew something had changed between them. They were still close. Still having silly fights.
Miroku had once clung to Sango when he was hurting and had wept. For the first time, his cheerful demeanor faded, leaving the confused, sad, and lonely boy. He had cried for the first time.
Sango had comforted him. Their relationship closer then ever.
Then.
Why are you here Sango?
I wanted to help!
Sango! Get away from me!
Get away!
Get LOST!
You would get hurt if you come any closer!
I cannot allow that!
LEAVE!
And after that, Miroku would flinch every time Sango got close to him. He would grasp the praying beads harder. And Sango would feel the tears that threatened to spill.
But they both kept a brave front.
Even if things were never to be the same again.
They would overcome it.
They had too.
For the both of them.
When they were at the amusement park, Sango was happy that Miroku let his guard down and had been happy. Surrounded by friends. He didn't shy away from her and Sango was grateful for that.
Good things don't last forever; she just hope that Miroku could find some happiness in Kagome's time, where it was peaceful before going back. They had to defeat Naraku to remove the curse but it seems to be impossible.
She wouldn't stop trying even if Miroku had given up hope. She wouldn't. He had a right for happiness and she would give him that. By defeating Naraku; even if it takes her life.
Sango smiled. Sango had noticed that Kagome was not her usual self today.
She and Kagome had a deep bond like sisters. She knew Kagome had something for the new guy in her class.
The tension was full in the air when she was closed to him.
She felt happy for Kagome; she was getting over her love for Inuyasha. Not that Sango was trying to break them up or anything; Inuyasha just didn't know how to treat a girl like she was loved.
He was nice and sweet at times.
However, he doesn't know how to care.
He wouldn't show his affection; causing Kagome to be even more confused about his feelings for her.
Love?
Then why does he always go to find Kikyo? When Kagome was always there beside him?
Why?
Hate?
Then why protect her? Why be gentle to her at times? Why, at the oddest moments, show fondness?
Why?
"You really like the Shuichi fellow; don't you Kaga – chan?" Sango said, calling Kagome by her nickname that Sango had taken the habit of calling her.
"Ne, San – chan. Don't tease me!" Kagome said blushing. "I just met him at that time when we were at the amusement park. So, we are just acquaintances."
Sango's eyebrows practically shot way above her hairline. "Didn't seem that way to me." Sango said, taking a sip of the tea they had brought to Kagome's room.
Kagome blush even a deeper shade of red.
"Ah. But he is a demon, and he might be after the Shikon shards. So we have to be alert at all times. He might just hurt us, or worst, our new friends." Kagome said sadly. "And it will be all my fault."
"Might." Sango softly said. "Might."
"Let's not talk about this anymore. It's late, and we have school tomorrow."
"Em. Night." Don't worry Kaga – chan, everything will turn out right.
"Night" Would I cause more deaths? San – chan, help me.
She felt her bed for chibi Kurama, and clutched it tightly.
Sango was fast asleep already. Kagome sighed.
What would tomorrow bring? Kagome thought before she fell asleep.

Well, since school's starting and all, my story might be on HIATUS. Maybe.
But, I'll try to update frequently during this few days and maybe beg my mum to let me go online during weekends. (She forbids me to use the computer when school reopens. I can't even touch the telly. So depressed.)
So please bear with me k? Working with my aunt was definitely tiring.
But luckily that's over and I can write now! No more early to rise and late to bed routine!
Thanks for all your votes and continue doing so, however, please refrain to put a few votes in one review.
For example…
'I vote for Kurama thirty times!'
That wouldn't be fair you know. Anyone could say 'Inuyasha! Thousand times!'
So I'd like to say that for one review, only one vote is counted. Otherwise, it wouldn't be fair. I received several like that and it bums me, so thanks for cooperating!
Kurama is leading now though
Kagome / Kurama – 65
Kagome / Inuyasha – 48
Continue voting! It's not the end yet!
Thanks for reading, reviewing and voting!
Thanks for everything.
Yours truly, Nicolet
