Name of Chapter: Dreams

…

I was walking down a dusty road in the middle of a village. It looked so familiar to me but I couldn't remember where I've seen it before.

I turned left next to a small hut and continued on my way, not knowing where I was going. I heard voices coming from another hut. They also sounded so familiar.

"I can't believe she hasn't returned yet." A woman said then sobbed loudly. "My little girl, gone."

"I'm glad she's gone." A man roughly said with no hint of concern in his voice. "Disobeyed me. Caused trouble all the time. Complained every chance she got."

The woman gasped.

"How can you say that about your daughter?" She asked.

"She's no daughter of mine." The man growled. "She ran away so she couldn't marry that boy."

"Because we were forcing her to!"

I felt so empathic for this girl. Her parents were forcing her to marry so she ran away. Rather like…

I gasped, running into the hut.

"Mother! Father!" I yelled but they didn't seem to hear me.

"If she ever comes back, I'll make sure she does what she's told to." My father continued still not noticing me. "Or she can stay away."

"I'm here!" I yelled once again, they didn't even seem to hear me. I waved my hand frantically in front of my mother's thin pale face. She didn't even blink. "Why can't you see me?"

I was confused. Was I dead? Did I die in my sleep and become a spirit? Had Jaken or Sesshomaru slain me while I slept?

My mother hiccupped, fresh tears coming to her deep hazel eye.

"Dai, don't you even miss our daughter?" My mother asked. "Don't you even care that our daughter Misa ran away nearly a fortnight ago because we were forcing her to marry Kyo when she didn't want to? We should have listened to her. She still might be here." Tears spilled down my mothers face as she watched my father's expression. It was solemn.

"No," he said quietly. I felt my heart tear and my own tears stinging my eyes.

I couldn't believe my ears. My father didn't even care that I was gone. I could be dead! My body rotting away in the forest. Horrible creatures coming to eat my flesh. He doesn't even care that I'm gone! Some father he is.

I gasped, waking up and sitting upright next to the fire. I panted, trying to catch my breath. A cold sweat was on my forehead and tears were streaming down from my eyes.

It was just a dream, I thought, looking around. Sesshomaru was sitting against a tree, his eyes closed. Jaken was sleeping, snoring loudly and a bubble forming every time he exhaled from his nose. A freakishly real dream. I felt like I was truly there.

I finally got my breath back. I wiped away my sweat and tears but they kept coming. I knew Sesshomaru could smell my tears because they were demons, so I silently stood up and walked into the forest and silently cried there.

I cried for the loss of my family. My father hated me. He didn't care if I was dead or alive. If I ever came back, I would be forced to leave again. My mother missed me. She was worried that I could be dead. Still, I couldn't go back.

I could never see my mother, father, Kale, Ryei, or Juk again.

I must have fallen asleep again because I was suddenly in a memory from when I was a child.

I was play fighting with a boy that had short messy black hair and brilliant blue eyes. We were fighting with sticks, using them like real swords. I had just jabbed him in the abdomen and he was on the ground holding his stomach.

I laughed.

"You are such a baby, Mikio," I said then erupted in laughs once more.

"I know, Misa." Mikio gasped, wincing. I knelt next to him, suddenly feeling remorseful.

"I'm sorry." I said, smiling. "I must have jabbed you too hard."

Mikio grinned, and before I knew what happened, he had me pinned underneath him with the stick tickling my throat. I'd lost.

"That was a trick!" I yelled. I should have known this would happen. Mikio was highly known for two things. Trickery and Fondling.

"No, my dear Misa." He replied, smiling at me. "It was fair."

I rolled my eyes, knowing he would say something like that.

"All right, you win. Now get off me!" I pushed against him and he rolled off me. He opened his mouth to say something.

"Misa!"

I raised an eyebrow in confusion. That wasn't Mikio's voice.

"Misa!"

"What?" I asked.

"Wake up!" Something hard hit my head and I woke with a start.

"What, Jaken?" I growled, rubbing my head.

"It's time to wake up!" He yelled. "Lord Sesshomaru says it time to move on!"

"Okay. I'm coming." I grumbled, standing up and wiping the sleep from my eyes. My joints popped from being cramped for so long. I fell asleep with my head in my knees.

"Insolent human…" Jaken mumbled underneath his breath. I gave him a glare.

I reluctantly followed him back to the clearing where we made camp for the night. Sesshomaru was waiting for us.

"Jaken." He said, in his usual cold voice. His eyes were some how colder than before. I wondered why.

"Y-yes, milord?" Jaken croaked, shaking a bit.

"I will be going to visit Bokusenou for information." He stated.

"The old tree, milord?" Jaken asked. I was confused. How can someone talk to a tree?

"Yes. You will watch over Misa while I'm gone."

"What?" I didn't know who was madder. Jaken or me. I hated being watched. Especially by someone shorter than myself.

Sesshomaru sent an icy glare towards him and he quieted.

"I will return in a week's time." He said.

"Yes, milord. I will make sure Misa doesn't get into any trouble." Jaken replied, bowing. "You have my word."

"I'm still here, you know." I grumbled. However, no one heard me.

Sesshomaru nodded then disappeared in the trees. Was it my imagination or did he give me a cautious look?

Yeah, my imagination. I thought. Sesshomaru hated me just because I was human. He wouldn't care if something happened to me.

"Come on, toad." I said; leading the way opposite Sesshomaru took.

"Don't disrespect me, human!" Jaken yelled, flaying his stubby little arms around. A vein pulsed on his ugly olive green forehead. "And I am not a toad."

"Sure you're not." I said coolly. I wasn't going to let this little toad push me around.

Jaken sent me a glare but didn't respond. Very wise of him. I wasn't in the greatest of moods.

…

We've been walking for most of the day now. The sun was high in the sky and it was hot. However, since Jaken and I were on the cover of the trees, it was cool, along with the wind that came with it.

That dream I had last night about my parents; it was so strange. I felt like I was there but they obviously didn't seem to hear or see me. Was it just a dream or something more real? Were my parents really discussing my welfare? Had my father said he didn't care I was dead or alive anymore? Moreover, if I ever came back to the village, I would be banished or be forced to do what I was told.

Yes, I'm sure it happened for real. My memory of Mikio was real. That was the day he told me he was getting married to some girl in another village. I was angry with him. I'd asked him why he didn't refuse; he just simply said it was his destiny.

I shouted that I wanted to marry him and that I was in love with him, which was true. Yes, he did have a pervert reputation but when you really needed him, he was there for you. He taught me how to wield a sword in secrecy because women were forbidden to use such a weapon.

He didn't say anything to my declaration. He just turned and left.

It hurt me deeply when I said goodbye to him. Like my heart was tearing. I think that was the day I became hostile to everyone. That I wanted to marry for love, not just because someone told me too.

"Misa! Watch out!" Jaken screamed; shoving me to the side of the road was walking on.

"Huh?" I gasped as a carriage drawn by horse rushed past us. I raised an eyebrow when they stopped suddenly and two men got out.

"Jaken, I got a bad feeling about this." I told them as the men walked towards us. I put my hand on Nara's hilt, just in case my gut was right. I watched with a cautious eye as the two men stepped in front of us, their faces mean and scarred.

"Can I help you two gentlemen?" I asked in my sweetest voice, trying to push the foreboding feeling away. Something terrible was about to happen. I just knew it.

"Yeah, we want you." The one said on the right. His left eye was swollen and a purple color. He made to grab me but I sent the butt of Nara into his gut. He doubled over and his partner stepped up to take his place.

"You shall not touch this girl," Jaken shouted, stepping in front of me. I was awed at his bravery to defend me but it was wiped away quickly when he barely came to my knees.

The other man kicked Jaken into a tree and he feel into a heap at the base, his eyes spinning.

"Jaken!" I yelled, turning my back on the men to see if he was all right.

Big mistake.

One of the men hit my pressure point and I was consumed in blackness.

To Be Continued….

Haha! A cliffy! How did you like it? Took me a while to write. I hope you liked it. I will not be able to work on the neck chapter until Sunday night, maybe. I'm going camping this weekend at my Aunts. Well going to work on my new one shot.
