InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Death Of Love ❯ Nightmares ( Chapter 4 )
[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]
There was no way it was true. Ginta said that he found Kagome by the river, and that she looked half dead, but all he heard was `river…kagome…dead' If that mutt let anything happen to her, he was gonna regret it, but right now, he had to find Kagome. Sure enough, when he got to the river, he could smell Kagome, along with blood, dirt, and he faintly smell death. He knew if he didn't hurry, she would die. He followed his nose to her, and he did a double-take at what he saw. Sure enough, just like Ginta said, there was Kagome, looking dead. He didn't want to believe it, but if he didn't hurry she would die. He could smell and hear Ginta and Hakkaku close by. That was good. He didn't think it would be wise to move her while she was conscious, so he quickly but carefully picked her up, and while Ginta supported her head, and Hakkaku held her legs, they went back to the camp. He had to find a healer to help Kagome. That mutt was going to be sorry.
`Kagome… please be alright, don't die.'
“Hey Kouga, do you think she will be alright?” Ginta asked.
“Of course she will, Kagome's strong, she can fight this.”
Suddenly Kagome's arm moved.
“Hey look! She moved! Do you think she's waking up?” Hakkaku said.
*Kagome's POV*
She was being held. By strong arms. Someone was holding her head, and someone was touching her feet. It was comfortable, when she suddenly felt a humongous pain in her stomach, leg, and well, all over. Her right arm was the only body part that she felt no pain from. She moved it. Suddenly she heard someone talking. It sounded familiar, but she didn't know who it was. The only thing she could figure out, was that her name was Kagome. It hurt her head to try and remember anything else.
“Kagome, Kagome are you awake?” She heard someone ask.
She was lying down now. On something soft, something like a fur.
She opened her eyes, and saw three men. One was wearing his hair like a Mohawk, another had his hair in no way, and the third had his long black hair in a ponytail.
She didn't recognize them, but obviously they knew who she was, they said her name.
“Who… who are you?” She asked.
*Kouga's POV*
She was lying down now. They led her to the cave where they made camp, and set her down on a pile of furs, they were also the furs that Kouga slept on, but he paid no attention to that. He had went to the village and brought back medical supplies. He had just finished bandaging her right arm, when she stirred again.
“Kagome, Kagome are you awake?” he asked.
Ginta and Hakkaku had just returned with the food and water, they set everything down, and sat next to Kouga to see how she was doing. They all saw her open her eyes, but what she said after that, shocked them all.
“Who…who are you?”
*With the Gang*
“WHY CAN'T YOU BE MORE LIKE KIKYO?!”
“WELL MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE I'M NOT KIKYO!”
“WELL DUH! KIKYO'S NOT SOME TRASHY WHORE
NOT SOME TRASHY WHORE
SOME TRASHY WHORE
TRASHY WHORE TRASHY WHORE TRASHY WHORE”
He was running trying to catch her. He saw her on the cliff crying. He saw the dark figure coming closer. It stabbed her and grabbed her jewel shards, then pushed her over the cliff. He saw her falling. He heard her scream. He tried to get to her but she kept falling into the darkness.
“NOT SOME TRASHY WHORE
SOME TRASHY WHORE
TRASHY WHORE TRASHY WHORE TRASHY WHORE”
Inuyasha woke with a start covered in a cold sweat it was the same dream. The same dream he had every night since her death. He had tried to keep awake as long as he could because of it. He looked down at the group below him. Sango was curled up with a large Kirara, crying even in her sleep, while Kirara whimpered, she to asleep. Miroku tossed and turned apparently have a nightmare like he himself was having earlier. Then he looked down at Shippo. Shippo was curled up next to Kagome's bag. Clutching a small box in his hands. Inuyasha recognized the box as the one that Kagome kept her locket in when she wasn't wearing it. (not the one from the 2nd movie) The locket was a small gold oval shape on a beautiful gold chain, the gold cover of the locket had many carvings on it which consisted of the symbols for love, trust, family, heart, home, and many others that all connected expertly to each other. It apparently was a family heirloom that had been passed down for generations since the time of her great grand mother. And it wasn't a bought item either her great grandfather had made it himself out of the best material that he could get to ask Kagome's great grandmother to marry him. In the box with the locket were things to repair it with and a tiny key. In the back of the locket was a little hole where you put the key into. If you wound it then opened the locket it would start to play a tune. Inuyasha smiled remembering that every time Shippo had a nightmare or couldn't get to sleep for one thing or another Kagome would pull out the locket and wind it up so that it would play then would sing the words to the song to him. Even if Shippo fell asleep before the song was over, which he usually did, she would continue to sing until the song was over. It was very affective considering that it not only would put Shippo to sleep but the rest of the group as well. Although Inuyasha would always wake up after she stopped singing he would pretend to be asleep anyway so he could watch her gently tuck the rest of the gang in so that they would wake up without cramps from sleeping in a sitting position. He also remembered what two pictures that she put in the locket. The first one was a picture of the entire group including Kaede, Hatchi, and Myoga, although you could barely see Myoga unless you used a magnifying glass. And the second one was taken after an extremely hard battle with Naraku. It showed himself, Kagome, and Shippo, all of them were sleeping with him in his usual sitting position with Kagome asleep next to him in a sitting position leaning on him, his head on hers, and Shippo asleep peacefully in the small space between their bodies. Making them look like the perfect little family. A frown found it's way upon his lips when he remembered why Shippo was holding the box with the precious locket in it. Below Shippo gave a small cry in his sleep pulling the box closer to his little body. Shippo had grown since the day they saved him. He now stood a few in' above his knee. Inuyasha remembered how every time they got back to Kaede's village she would put a mark on Kaede's door were he stopped and then would measure it. He remembered how happy Shippo became when he found out that he grew. He secretly was proud of Shippo but never tell anyone that. For all they new Inuyasha only liked to pick on little Shippo, only Kagome new better. Inuyasha sighed again as he felt the pain in his heart increase at the thought that she was gone.
*Back with Kouga*
`I...I don't believe it! She forgot about me! About everyone!' Kouga thought sadly
After treating the rest of her wounds, Kouga had gotten some things out of Kagome. She couldn't remember anything except her name. After four hours of helping her to remember, he found out that someone had stabbed her, grabbed her jewel shards, and pushed her off the cliff. When he asked who it was, she said she didn't remember, and she was too tired. He left the cave, and let her sleep. He was thinking. He could use this as an opportunity.
`She doesn't remember mutt-face. We could have a happy life. I could try to give her new memories with me. But that wouldn't be fair. I will help her get her memories back, ooh mutt-face is gonna pay!' He thought
And he went in to get a well deserved rest.
