Chapter Three: Story Time
Hopping into bed, Inuyasha climb up close to Kagome and snuggles against her chest. Kissing his forehead Kagome closes her eyes and drifts off to sleep. It isn't long though before Inuyasha starts to get restless. With the setting of the sun he hops off the bed and turns to the window. A white light engulfs the dog's body and…
There lying in the light of the silver moon is a boy of about seventeen years. His hair shimmering like a thousand stars is a gorgeous hoary color. His eyes much like that of his former physic are a blazing amber color. Hidden behind mountainous strands of silver upon his head are a set of silver dog ears. Twitching the lightly back and forth Inuyasha listens to the sound of Kagome's shallow sleeping breath. So peaceful and beautiful maybe she could be the one to break this wretched spell. Rising shakily onto his now human legs, Inuyasha treads softly to Kagome's side. Clawed fingertips gently stroking her cheek mocha eyes blink open to an unfamiliar sight.
"Inu…WHO THE HELL ARE YOU!" Kagome suddenly screams at the sight of the weird part dog/part man in her bedroom.
"Shhh…Kagome it's me Inuyasha." Inuyasha whispers clamping a single hand over her screaming mouth.
"Let me go!" Kagome mumbles through hand placed over her flapping lips; how could this be her Inuyasha?
"You have to believe me, Kagome. You're the only one who can break the curse." Inuyasha pleads his amber orbs stricken with grief.
"Curse? What curse?" Kagome murmurs suddenly intrigued by his sentence prior to her own.
"The curse that changed me into this." Inuyasha replies solemnly as he lets her mouth go.
"I have to be dreaming. That's the only explanation. You're a dog not a man or what ever you want to call yourself. You're just a German shepherd I found in the road." Kagome utters to herself as she shakes her head back and forth at a violent pace.
"This is no dream. I was once human like yourself you know." Inuyasha says his amber gaze meeting her uneasy mocha one.
"Before the curse. Am I right?" Kagome questions glancing up at his soft sliver appendages.
"Correct. My name is Prince Inuyasha Taisho and I was transformed into a white dog by the evil sorcerer Naraku after his beloved Kikyou deceived him." Inuyasha explains an expression of curiosity growing on Kagome's face.
"Why were you punished? You were not the one to deceive the sorcerer were you?" Kagome questions placing her hand lightly on her chin.
"Kikyou deceived her beloved by wedding him and then courting with me. It was a foul game of trickery that I played along with until fate came and slapped me in the face." Inuyasha sighs rubbing his cheek as if someone had actually gone and bruised him.
"I would have slapped you too had you been cheating on me. Sleeping with a married woman you are disgusting." Kagome replies swallowing back a bit of bile; simply disgusting.
"I only did it to save my little sister. I thought that if I got Kikyou to be happy and fall in love with me she would save my little sister who has fallen gravely ill." Inuyasha cries holding back tears; poor little Miaka.
"Your little sister? Is she really that ill?" Kagome whispers suddenly feeling remorseful for the comment.
"She's dying from a curse placed upon her by a great demon called Tenshi Kuromeru. Kikyou is a priestess with magical healing powers, and she makes bargains with people. Being very beautiful and someone with a magical ability I thought it best to do her biding so that Miaka could maybe have a shot at survival. Kikyou just used me seeing that her marriage to Naraku could never be worked out. She's too free spirited and he is too jealous." Inuyasha explains holding close to his chest a photo of the little girl named Miaka.
"She's beautiful, Inuyasha. But she has ears too…why?" Kagome questions Inuyasha's face becoming almost a sickly color green.
"Naraku infuriated with his mate cast a spell on my kingdom. Myself, my brother, and my younger sister were all turned into dogs. My knights Kouga and Ayame into wolves. My servants Shippo, Kirara, Rin, and Jaken into a fox, cat, bird, and toad. Also my advisor was turned into a bloodthirsty flea. It's sickening and the worst part about this all is I was sent away from the people I love. I don't even know where the hell I am to be quiet honest with you." Inuyasha sighs placing his head in his hands.
"You're in Tokyo, Japan. And if I am correct you are five hundred years into the present." Kagome states checking out the date on the collar around his neck.
"Five hundred years into the future! You have to be joking?" Inuyasha cries falling back onto Kagome's plush bed.
"What I want to know is how in the world did you get here?" Kagome asks reaching to touch the hanyou's soft ears.
"It was that witch Kagura and her behemoth sister Kana. Those two are both related to Naraku; his kinsmen as one would say. Kagura started mumbling a bunch of mumbo jumbo under her breath and Kana then sucked me into that ghastly mirror of hers. Next thing I knew I woke up being attacked by those things you called children." Inuyasha replies quivering at the very thought of those memories.
"This is way too unreal." Kagome murmurs shaking her head back and forth slightly.
"Now you know how I feel." Inuyasha mumbled tossing his forearm over his eyes.
"It has to all be a dream…I'm just your average teenager. Things like talking dogs and demons don't exist. This is all just a nightmare." Kagome bursts out slamming her face into the plush of her pillow.
"You're not dreaming, Kagome. Do you actually think I want to be here? I have a dying sister back home and a psychopathic magician on the loose. I need to be back there and not here playing Rover." Inuyasha moans impatiently as he sits up on the mattress.
"Look if I had a magic wand I'd wield it and send you home. But here we don't have magic and demons. All we have is joke shops and legends." Kagome grumbles sarcastically as she pulls the blankets back over her head.
"Legends! Kagome, that's it! Maybe all we need to do is find a book on legends having to do with my era. Maybe it'll give me a clue on how to get back home to my sister." Inuyasha shouts pulling the blankets off Kagome's head as she groans loudly.
"And where would we find a book like that? It's not like I can ask my grandfather Hey gramps, do you have a book on the ancient spells cast during the era of feudal Japan?" Kagome replies making an annoyed face at the exuberant hanyou.
"You're a genius! That's just brilliant! You know I sense a spiritual energy coming from this place, so I think you're grandfather must know a little something about spells." Inuyasha smiles taking Kagome's limp hand into his own.
"What am I getting myself into?" Kagome whines as Inuyasha's ears suddenly fall back against his head. "What?"
"You will help me right?" Inuyasha questions his voice almost sounding like that of a whimper.
"As much as I want to deny any of this is real…I guess I have no choice. I'll help you Inuyasha, but you have to promise me one thing." Kagome utters her eyes nearly leaking out painful tears.
"What is it?" Inuyasha asks looking confused by her sudden change in facial expressions.
"Don't allow me to become attached to you cause I really don't want to have to learn how to let go." Kagome pronounces at she lies her head back down.
"Alright." Inuyasha says lowering his gaze onto the bedspread. "And one more thing before you fall asleep, Kagome."
"What is it?" Kagome yawns looking out the window in the direction of the fragmenting moonlight.
