DN Angel crossover Inuyasha
Chpt25: Of Nightmares
Kagome POV
Stirring in the early morning, I could hear the steady breathing of Dark's. Slipping quietly out of his bed, I made my way back to my own room where I prepared to another tough day worth of training.
Dark was awakening to the lack of warmth beside him. Opening his eyes, he saw the empty space where Kagome formerly slept next to him. He found himself hating the wake up alone to a cold bed in the morning even though this is what he usually felt like in the past being inside of Daisuke's mind for over such a long period of time. Getting out of bed, he too prepared himself for the days' training that will surely wear him out.
The pass few weeks our schedule was to train with Sesshoumaru. With each passing day, we surpassed our own abilities and continue to perfect them till they are flawless. Sesshoumaru had already approved of Dark courting me even though at first he was not really keen on that prospect. However during one of the training sessions that Dark had with Sesshoumaru, Dark had gained his respect and approval.
When I asked him one night how he had gained Sesshy's approval and respect, he just merely smile and said that it's a secret. Knowing that sooner or later he will tell me, I let the subject drop for the time being.
It was one of the many nights that I slept with Dark in his room, I felt the unease as my mind drifted between the dream world and the real world. This has never really happen before. Now I felt myself being thrown back as I felt the emptiness of the place that I am in. Everything is swirling about making me feel nauseous. Grabbing the nearest thing in the darkness, I supported myself as my head seemed to spin even more.
When the dizziness has slightly receded, I looked up to see myself using a bloodstained wall as support. Quickly jumping back, I noticed the words on the wall. Apart from that, the overwhelming scent of blood soon reached my sensitive nose. The scent itself was so strong that it brought back the dizzy spell at full force. Whimpering, I saw the faint of red that I am standing on. Looking around through the dizzy world, I saw blood washing the floor. There lay the dead and mangled bodies of Shippo, Shiro, Reiya, Sesshoumaru and everyone else including even Dark.
"This is all not real. This is all not real." I mumbled to myself.
"Show yourself! I now you are out there somewhere. Show yourself!" I cried out.
"It's so pleasant to see you again my dear. I take it that you like my present to you. Don't worry, I will make sure that no one gets in the way of you becoming my mate." Said the figure standing before me in the darkness. I only caught a glimpse of his pale complexion yet I could feel the sinister grin plastered on his face.
Growling out, I lashed out at the figure only to see him dodge all my attacks.
"My dear, you shouldn't lash out to your future mate like that. You will be mine sooner or later." He said when he suddenly reappeared unseeingly behind me as he whispered those words into my ears before playfully nipping my ears. His touch was cold yet it disgusted me to no ends that he is touching me.
Growling out in anger, I made another attempt to slash him, but he only jumped back with a laugh. Attacking again, I felt myself suddenly overwhelmed by the dizziness as I knelt on the ground clutching my head trying to stop the dizziness. Everything is just spinning around as he continued laughing.
"Till the next time my dear. You will be mine." With those words he departed leaving me in the darkness of a spinning world.
"Kag…Kagome, Kagome. Wake up! Wake up!" said Dark in a panic. He was awoken by Kagome's trashing and growling. She seemed as though she was in a fit or something. Yet he knew it well that it was another dream that she is receiving. Unknowing to himself, he was growling out in anger.
I could hear the sound of Dark's voice calling out to me as I departed from that spinning world. Even in the moments that I was going to awake, I was still feeling nauseous and dizzy. I felt instant warmth. As my unfocused eyes slowly came into focus, I noticed then that Dark was hugging me . Laying my head on his shoulder, I breathe in his comforting scent that enveloped me in a warm embrace.
"Kagome, it is him again isn't it?" he asked, voice full of concern. Fearing to say anything, I just nodded my head against him and buried my face in his chest, taking in his comforting scent.
My head still felt dizzy from the dream, I felt him comfortingly sooth me with his words and his scent as he gently stroke my hair. I hate the way my enemy uses my feelings to get to me. Once I get my hands on him, I will personally make him learn the meaning of pain all over again.
Though there is the unease that is at the back of my mind. Something familiar about this person's presence, someone that I had defeated quite a while back in standard of time to a demon.
Sesshoumaru was the first person to be informed of my dream and he was not pleased about it. Especially when the tact used is similar to Naraku the former evil that the whole of Sengoku Jidai Japan had ever experience. And that was also when demons and humans were clouded in their greed and hunger for power. Now the name Heaven's Pearl came to us as an enigma.
Even Midoriko whom I had called upon when meditating could not answer me what Heaven's Pearl is, saying that it is my soul duty to find it and safeguard it. This was all she would tell me and nothing else no matter how much I inquired.
I remembered the time we spent training in Makai always ended with a good long soak in the private bathing-springs. My time with Dark in Sesshoumaru's castle has brought the both of us even closer if possible. Even though there were times that I felt lonely, I did not really blame him as I kept certain things in secret choosing not to tell him and Sesshoumaru.
Our training soon came to an end as Sesshoumaru announced to us that we are prepared and the rest is up to how we fair and strategize our moves well. On one of the night as I lay in Dark's arm watching the peaceful night sky of Makai where the stars glitter like jewels of all kinds, he asked me a question on that I could not clearly comprehend.
"Kagome," he whispered, even though its soft, I heard it and looked at him curiously.
"If I was a monster, what would you do?" came his question, I could hear the seriousness in his voice as his soft gaze fell upon me.
"Even a monster have a heart. I'm not exactly a demon to even some of my kinds. A demon that kills demons of her kindred, a hand forever stained with blood." I said rather softly looking down at both of my hands.
I remember my first kill all too perfectly, apart from the sweetness of it comes the bitterness, confusion and the fear of it. I was not prepared myself that time to feel so unaware and the inability to control myself when I killed those demons. Yet the sweetness of their blood in my clawed hands overwhelmed me into a bloodlust state. The fear that came along with it after I realize what I have done, on my instinct, I ran. Running through the forest to get as far away from the scene where I killed those demons.
Zoning out from that little walk down memory lane, I was brought back to reality when I felt Dark gently caress the side of my face. Turning, I felt myself being brought into his warm embrace. "Dark…" I whispered that seem to be blown away by the night breeze, head leaning against his chest, I could hear his heart beating.
Our silence is a comfort to us both as we sat on the chair out in the balcony in a lovers' embrace. Clutching onto his yukata, I buried my face in his chest to inhale his scent. His hand ran through the tresses of my dark hair, while his other hand snaked round my waist pressing me against him. I felt soothed by his presence. I felt the desire running within my veins and no doubt I his too.
My nights have recently been plagued with dreams of horror. Both good and bad, yet there is always a figure blocked from my field of vision with a rather blinding light surround him, shadowing his features. It has always been him to save or rescue me from my nightmares whenever it gets horrible using the words he spoke so softly in a soothing manner. I would always feel the warmth whenever I next fall into a dreamless sleep or when I awoke the next day.
"Ah…Dear sweet Kagome, it has been a few days since I last saw you. How have you been doing my dear?" he cooed in a sweet malicious way, I stiffened when felt his cold hand tilted my face up to meet with a pair of gleaming red eyes that shone with unmasked desire and a predatory gleam in those red eyes. I felt myself shiver despite of the surroundings that are a void.
I could feel the air around me seem to take on a mysterious hue. I could feel his breath upon my skin as he inhaled and breathed out against the skin of my neck junction. Making an attempt to do a quick clean chop to his neck, he caught my hand midway forcing that hand back up to the wall he had me pressed up against.
"My, you have such a fiery temper. You do look lovely and oh so tempting my dear. Don't worry, once I get rid of everyone in my way, you will become mine solely. And then we can have some fun on our own don't be so impatient. Don't worry, I will come and get you real soon and that's when the fun starts. Enjoy the show for now my dear mate." He cooed.
When he called me his mate, I felt it fuel my anger as my other free hand rose quickly to hit him on his neck, yet he once again caught it in mid way and pinned it to the wall with his. I felt disgusted and angry at his claim for me. I felt his hold on my other hand slackened. Taking that chance, I swiped my claws at his face causing him to bleed.
"My, such a nasty temper, that is what make you so attractive. Don't worry, once we are together with no one to stop me, Heaven's Pearl and you are both going to be mine. It's only a matter of time before you fall for me." He said in a voice of calm and amusement. All the while as he said that, his hand came up to touch the claw marks that grazed his face, and he licked his bloodstained finger.
"Don't' be so sure of yourself you self-conceited bastard." I growled out dangerously at him as I felt my anger fueling me into a demon rage. If it was not for the lessons that Sesshoumaru had given me in the past to control myself in such state, I might have gone wild with rage and kill anything in my path.
His laughter rang all around me as I glared at him. And without warning, I felt myself being pulled backwards by an unseen force. So strong that I felt myself falling at a fast speed down to God knows where.
I jerked awake gasping for air as I hurriedly sat up in bed. My hands were clawed as I look at them my senses have sharpened. Every sound seemed to boom loudly in my ears giving me a splitting headache. Cold sweat were formed on my face and soaked through my clothes as I supported my aching head with my hands propped on my knees.
Dark had no doubt been awoken by my sudden actions. I did not noticed his movements or even signs of him waking up frantic looking with concern and worry in his eyes. It was only until he hugged me from behind snaking his arms around my waist as he brought me against him, gently rocking me and stroking my hair. I also did not know that I was shaking like a leaf until he told me, his worries were all written clearly on his face and I force myself to calm down.
His presence is of a close comfort to me. I slowly drifted back to sleep as he brought me close to him, with his arms around me. I myself fear of having such dream encounter in a place where he is obviously in command of and is able to make me feel so weak. Even though I know that this is the last of his visit for the next few days, yet I could still feel the fear that I had kept locked up long ago slowly surfacing. The gentle caress of his hand stroking my spine in a soothing manner soon worked its effect on me as I fall into a dreamless sleep. The tension in my body only lessened a bit as I slept on with slight fear of forbidding of what is soon to come.
