Forgotten Dreams of Darkness Part 5
Kinata motioned Inuyasha to follow her down the stairwell as he nodded his head and began to follow. Kinata smiled and continued down the steps as both passed a few guards that allowed them outside of the castle. Outside it was already night time and right above you could see the stars and the florescent light of the moon shining down on the both of them.
"Where are we going?" Inuyasha asked.
"Usually I like to wander about where the wind takes me." Kinata answered as she looked over at Inuyasha who couldn't help but smile back at Kinata.
Kinata and Inuyasha walked into the forest silent for the moment until they came across a roaring waterfall that was surrounded by the tranquility sounds that was emerging from within.
"It's so peaceful here…" Kinata whispered as her eyes turned from Inuyasha as she gazed upon at the stars. "I'm glad Kagome's children are strong and healthy, considering after what we've all been through."
"Yeah so am I." Inuyasha agreed.
Kinata sat down against one side of a tree as Inuyasha did the same thing on the other side. Inuyasha turned his head a little to look at Kinata whose attention was diverted to the moon. Inuyasha sighed as he began to think about the other day when Kinata had kissed him. He touched his lips as he closed his eyes and began thinking things through.
"What is going on here? First I fall in love with Kikyou…and she dies. When I finally met Kagome my feelings for Kikyou drifted onto her and then I began to love her as well…but now after being separated from Kikyou for this long, my feelings haven now changed. What is the reason? How could this woman suddenly change every feeling that I've ever had? Is this love I have just discovered, or is it just another heartbreak?" He thought as he opened up his eyes and looked at Kinata who turned and smiled at him.
"How could I've fallen for her…I didn't even know her as long as I knew Kikyou or Kagome, I knew both of them longer than her…but how can this be? How can one just suddenly forget the past and move on?" He thought as he remembered the day in the castle yesterday.
Flashback to yesterday in the castle….
Kinata stood there with her head down. "If we have such great powers then we must use them to our advantage then, to restore peace, and happiness upon these lands…To our families names…Our fates are not sealed nor broken…we can accomplish the impossible once we set ourselves to it…Kagome you once told me giving up was not an option, we have to win! We just have to!" Kinata said as tears rolled down her face as she cried for the first time which shocked everyone. "Tears…I'm crying…why am I crying?"
End of Flashback….
Inuyasha remembered Kinata's bold words that took courage and strength to bring out. In the beginning he thought he couldn't trust her because she was different from everyone else. He remembered hearing about her past when she talked to Kagome…she had been through so much worse then his scenario even. Inuyasha knew what it felt like to be alone as he remembered his childhood years. His only friend at that time was his mother and when she died he had no one left, that was until he met Kagome. That was when he realized what good it felt to protect the ones you care for and love the most.
"In a way…she's like me." Inuyasha thought as he got up and stood in front of Kinata who looked up into Inuyasha's face.
"Kinata?" he asked.
"Hai Inuyasha?" she answered.
"Why did you kiss me the other day?" Inuyasha asked.
Kinata looked at Inuyasha with no emotion in her face as she answered the following.
"I don't know…something inside of me told me to and I felt the strangest feeling…like it was a feeling of…" Kinata struggled to say but Inuyasha finished for her.
"Love?" he asked.
Kinata looked back at Inuyasha who was looking down at her as she turned to look away.
"I have a hard time expressing myself to others…sometimes I can't even consider myself being alive at all." Kinata whispered.
"Where your intentions true?" He asked.
Kinata looked back at Inuyasha as he helped her stand up facing him as she answered the following.
"Hai" she answered. "Inuyasha I…"
Before Kinata could finish Inuyasha kissed Kinata's lips as he remembered the passion that he had missed from her lips.
"Inuyasha…I'm sorry for how I treated you before…" She whispered as Inuyasha pulled Kinata into his embrace and began to kiss her neck.
"I don't care about that; I wasn't exactly the nicest one either." He smiled as Kinata placed her arms around his neck.
Inuyasha held Kinata in his embrace and her moans excited his inner demon. Inuyasha continued to kiss Kinata's lips while he laid her onto the ground of the earth as gently as he began to take her Kimono off.
"In-Inuyasha…" Kinata whispered seductively as she longed for his spell binding touch.
Kinata began to take Inuyasha's clothes off, as she pulled his body closer to hers and felt the warmth instantly. Inuyasha cupped his hand around Kinata's breast as he began to kiss her more roughly each time. Kinata pulled away and smirked as she walked over to a lake that surrounded the waterfall. Inuyasha watched Kinata as she jumped in and motioned for him to follow. He got up from his place, his heart pounding, and jumped into the lake as well. He found her standing against the rocks smiling as he pressed himself against her holding onto her waist. Inuyasha then began to suckle Kinata's neck as he heard a gasp escape from her throat.
"Inuyasha…" moaned.
"Kinata, Ashiteru …" Inuyasha said as he looked into Kinata's eyes with passion.
"Inuyasha I-…" Kinata whispered but at that moment something happened deep inside of her body and soul.
Inuyasha suddenly felt himself being pulled into what was this complete darkness inside of Kinata's mind and started to wonder what the heck was going on. All around him everything was complete darkness.
"Kinata?!" he called. "Kinata where are you?!"
That was when Inuyasha was pulled into an earlier memory of Kinata's early childhood he didn't know at the time.
Inuyasha saw people running around in fear and terror from the looks upon their faces. He quickly drew out his weapon as he saw these unknown demons that were attacking people. Inuyasha lunged as he tried to attack the demon but went right through him and didn't understand.
"Am I a ghost?" he asked himself as he turned back and tried again but nothing worked.
People were screaming in agony as the unknown shadowy creatures caught up with a few of them. Inuyasha looked away in pain as he cursed slightly.
"Damn it…" he whispered.
That's when Inuyasha was taken to another memory but this one was of this beautiful woman who resembled Kinata.
"Is that Kinata?" Inuyasha asked himself. "It's not…but wait is that…her mother?!" Inuyasha could sense that it was Kinata's mother and beside her had to be her father.
Inuyasha then saw a little bundle of what was a baby in the mother's arms.
"Kinata…"Inuyasha whispered.
The mother was crying and shaking tremendously as her mate embraced her into his arms.
"She's my daughter…our flesh and blood…" she cried.
"We cannot keep her safe…not from all of this…" Her mate told her. "We have to, or her and her sister will suffer throughout life...we cannot allow this to happen."
"Father said there would be a man and a lady waiting to take her…" She whispered.
"We should go then and not be late." He told her. "We can't stay here, we got to keep moving."
"Hai…let's go." She said as she kissed her daughter on the cheek.
The mother nodded her head as they dressed in black cloaks and walked outside of the little house they were in. They could not risk being caught or they would face the severe consequences. Inuyasha walked out as well and started to follow the couple to see where they were going exactly… and it was not until he realized it was the eastern lands. As soon as they got there up ahead were a woman and man, by the looks of it they were Inu-Youkai demons as well. Kinata's mother and father walked up to the waiting couple as the couple greeted one another. Kinata's mother handed the baby over to the woman as tried her hardest not to cry.
"She'll be safe with us." The man promised.
"We'll care for her as if she were our own." The woman smiled slightly.
Kinata's mother and father nodded their heads in agreement. As the man and woman turned to leave, Kinata's mother yelled out.
"Wait!" she cried.
They turned around and looked at Kinata's mother and so did her mate. Kinata's mother ran to them and pulled out what was an amulet from her pocket. She placed the amulet around her daughter's neck and kissed her one last time as tears leaked from her eyes.
The woman and man smiled weakly as they turned around and continued their journey home. Kinata's father went over to his mate and embraced her, as both disembarked into the shadows.
After seeing that Inuyasha was pulled into another memory and this one wasn't pretty either. Inuyasha saw the couple that had taken Kinata away from her parent's and they were walking with the child in their arms until the same demons he saw from earlier appeared.
"Damn it not now!" Inuyasha yelled.
"Orina get back!" the man yelled but it was too late.
"Shiomi!" She cried but fell silent.
"NO!" Inuyasha yelled from the sidelines as he felt powerless to do anything.
The shadow creatures attacked the couple as the baby was knocked out of their arms to the ground and began crying immensely.
"Bastards!" Inuyasha yelled as tears rolled down his face. "She's only a pup!"
The shadow creatures then started to feed off of the couple devouring everything until nothing was left.
"Enough…" A voice said from behind.
Inuyasha turned to look and wouldn't believe who he saw…it was Blaire!
"So this is the child I should so be afraid of, eh?" He spoke as he picked up the crying baby by the nape of the neck.
"Bastard I'll kill you!" Inuyasha yelled as he tried to attack Blaire but couldn't.
"Your soul belongs to me now for you fate is sealed." He whispered to Kinata as he disappeared into the shadows.
Inuyasha then was transported to where he found himself in the beginning. That was where total darkness surrounded everything.
"Those were her earlier memories…how could anyone survive through something that awful and devastating?!" Inuyasha thought as he tried searching for a way out.
Inuyasha then heard something that sounded like a muffled cry as he turned to see where it was coming from.
"Who's there…show yourself!" he demanded.
The crying got louder as Inuyasha looked down and saw a little girl who was rocking back and forth.
"Who are you little girl?" Inuyasha asked softly as he kneeled down to the girl.
The little girl had long mocha brown hair and when she looked up into Inuyasha's face. He saw that the little girl had emerald green eyes that were puffy from what looked like she had been crying for some time now. She buried her head into her arms as she continued to rock back and forth.
"Little girl please tell me what your name is and maybe I can help you." Inuyasha said.
The little girl looked up with a saddened smile. "You can't help me…my fate has already been sealed…no one can help me."
He then remembered those exact words…those were the exact words Kinata had said.
"Kinata?" he asked.
"How do you know my name?" the little girl asked. "Do you know where my mommy is? I miss her so…"
Inuyasha looked dumbfounded not to mention saddened.
"No, I'm sorry." Inuyasha whispered as he stared at Kinata but didn't quite understand why she was in the form of a child.
"It's alright…" The little girl whispered. "It's not like anyone can help me now."
"What is going on?!" he asked sort of loudly causing Kinata to flinch. "I'm sorry."
"Don't be…you can still get out while there's time…or else they'll get you." Kinata whispered. "Just like they got me…just like they get everyone…"
"Who will get me?" Inuyasha asked.
Kinata didn't answer; Inuyasha cupped her face into his hands making her look at him.
"Who will get me?" he asked again. "Please tell me Kinata."
"The shadow creatures…they devour everything…anything that's worth living…they destroy anything that gets in there way…so much darkness…I can't hold on much longer…Get out while you still can." Kinata whispered.
"No I'm not leaving without you!" Inuyasha yelled.
"I can't be saved!" The little girl yelled as her voice shook. "My fate has already been sealed…no one can help me!"
"No it hasn't!" He yelled. "Kinata listen to me! I can help you…"
Suddenly Inuyasha heard a villainous laughter from the background as he turned to look as he saw a tall dark figure but couldn't see his face.
"Who are you?!" Inuyasha yelled.
"Someone you should be very afraid of." The tall dark figure laughed wickedly.
"I'm not afraid of you!" Inuyasha yelled as he turned to look at Kinata who was already at the side of the tall dark figure, his hand rested upon her head.
"Leave her alone!" Inuyasha yelled as he went to attack the tall dark figure with his claws of blood.
"I believe you've seen a little too much Inuyasha…" The voice spoke as he hurled a shadow ball at Inuyasha who flung into the wall.
"Kinata!" he yelled.
Kinata stood there with a blank look on her face as if she didn't know what was happening around her until suddenly she broke out of her trance.
"Inuyasha!" she cried.
With that Inuyasha was knocked out of Kinata's mind and woke up to see her lying next to him. Kinata stirred as she slowly sat up.
"Are you okay?" Inuyasha asked her.
"Hai…why is there something wrong?" Kinata asked.
"Don't you remember anything?" He asked.
"Remember what?" Kinata asked. "All I remember is coming out here with you and talking and…" She smiled slightly.
Inuyasha looked into Kinata's eyes and could tell she was telling the truth, she did not remember anything that had happened inside of her mind. But Inuyasha now was having conflicting feelings inside of him…wondering if this was all just a dream? No…this couldn't have been a dream, there was just so much detail and it felt….real. No it couldn't have been a dream he finally debated…but what if it was? He couldn't decide.
"Never mind…we should get back to the castle soon." Inuyasha said as he looked at Kinata debating if he should tell her what he witnessed but decided not to at the moment. He didn't want to bother her with nothing more to worry about then what she already had to along with Kagome. Right now he just wanted to hold her in his arms letting her know everything would be okay, even if it didn't seem like it was. Pure instinct just told him to hold her and he did.
Kinata snuggled closer to Inuyasha's body as she smiled at him which made him a little less nervous about the whole situation for that moment time being.
"Do we have to go back right away…I kind of was getting used to this feeling…" Kinata said as she blushed slightly. "I never felt this way before…it's just so brand new to me…" She smiled.
"I guess five more minutes couldn't hurt." He whispered as he saw Kinata's smile turn into a grin as Inuyasha pulled Kinata yet another passionate kiss. A guy could really get used to this a lot.
