Family Curse

Chapter 2: Dreaming?

Previous Chapter:

Following the hard chiseled and dripping chest, up to the long beautiful silver haired head that connected to the body, Kagome's blue irises widened as it met with amber-golden eyes that coldly glared back at her. Anger flashed through her body as the man in front of her with a baritone voice spoke.

“You're in the way wench.”

There are very few times in a girl's life were she could truly sit back and thank the gods for all that she was worth. When she found her first love, after marriage, had beautiful children and the most important…when she was privileged enough to be up close and personal with the wet partially naked body of Adonis! For surely that had to be the being before her.

Somewhere in the back of her mind there was a little sensible voice yelling that this was not a god and though that little voice was currently screaming its lungs out, Kagome found the strength to silence it, under a pile of mental cement bricks… guarded by rabid dogs. The fact that she had just been insulted went way over her head as she stared wide-eyed and mouth agape at the delicious sight before her. Honestly how many teenage girls got to experience this!

It wasn't until the magnificently sculpted chest began to venture away from her sight, followed by an irritated `hn', did she realize she had been standing there gawking. `Smooth, real smooth baka!' Shaking her head to try and clear away her thoughts, Kagome couldn't help but stare at the retreating form of the unfamiliar inu. Her mind free of hormonal clutter surged once again with a sudden rush of unexplainable hatred.

“What the hell is wrong with me?” Ducking quickly into the still slightly steamy bathroom, Kagome hurriedly closed the door and prayed that the day would get no weirder. Too bad the gods always seemed to go out to lunch when Kagome called.

Amber eyes gazed longingly out the window of his second story room, which over looked a cliff sloppily merging with the sea. He had chosen this room for just that reason alone not caring one bit of the furniture or décor. His life was a simple thing yet so complicated that even he could not try and describe it. He was like the cliff, bombarded by the moody waters but never to be part of it.

Resisting the urge to sigh, something very much beneath him, he decided it was time to dress and at least try and begin the day. His horoscope had said that today was to be a day of uncontrolled magic and to his tired mind that had simply meant `stay in bed!' If it weren't for his father barging into the room insisting that he at least dress, then he would have been content to do just that, sleep possibly forever. Scowling lightly to himself he thought on how he got into this whole mess anyways.

It was his mother's fault really, that damned woman just had to go and stick her nose in his life. Highly intelligent and home schooled he didn't worry about all the high school drama with a million problems around every turn, which meant he had to find his kicks somewhere else, and such places happened to be dark secluded locations full of edgy characters of all time.

Heir to his father's legacy and king of the street life was pretty matched out, until his mother got involved. Gave him the whole “You need to grow out of this phase, maybe you should spend time with your father and brother.” The sneaky wench had shipped his belongings to Tokyo from the states and done with the nagging he finally decided “Fuck it.”

So stuck in this trap of a house with all of these people he'd rather not even know, the inu-youkai found himself drifting through life as usual, bored and unsatisfied. However, today had proven to promise a bit of something interesting. The black haired ningen, no doubt here for his half-brother, sparked the most unusual feelings within him.

Never had he wanted to attack someone as fiercely as he did her. Excellent self-control was the only thing that had saved her pathetic life and he was curious as to why he even felt such a strong reaction. Brushing it off, the silver haired inu grabbed his phone and readied himself for an interesting night. It was time to explore this new world and see what adventures it offered.

OOO

Kagome waved to Inuyasha as she made her way up the many steps of her family's shrine. She walked slower then usual, dreading the confrontation with her mother. Really she knew she was supposed to have been home right after school but it was her sixteenth birthday, didn't that count for something?

Creeping up towards the porch, Kagome pulled her keys out of her pocket and unlocked the front door. At eight at night and none of the lights on in the house, she felt like a burglar more and more with every turn of the key. Silently pushing open the door, Kagome tiptoed into the front hall, looking around she shuddered at the silence. A few deep breaths later, she made a mad dash up the stairs to her room and shut the door quickly behind her.

“Where were you?”

Turning slowly in the direction of the speaker, Kagome flinched. There sat her mother upon her pink hello kitty bed set with a stack of presents beside her. Her face shadowed in the darkness of the room revealed only a deeply engraved frown.

“I was at Inu's house, with Sango and Miroku. We were just…hanging out.” Looking into the shadows where her mother's eyes would be, Kagome felt a wave of guilt wash over her. All those gifts stacked up on her bed, and if she wasn't mistaken when she had dashed past the kitchen it was decorated with streamers. They had planned a party for her and she had not come home…for hours.

“I'm sorry mom, I understand that I've disappointed you an-”

“Kagome you are sixteen now, a big age in this family. You can't just go off without anyone knowing!”

Twiddling her thumbs, a nervous habit adopted over the years, Kagome looked anywhere but the spot her mother currently occupied. Twisting her fingers suddenly caused a flash of silver to dash across her mother's vision, averting her attention to her daughters still twitching fingers, Mrs. Higurashi gasped.

“Where did you get that?” She shouted. Her full figure cast out of the darkness as she walked over towards her daughter. Shrinking away from her mother, Kagome pushed her self further back against the door.

“Grandpa, he said it was a birthday gift. What's wrong?”

“Give me it! Hand it over right this instance!”

Hurriedly grabbing at her finger, Kagome tried to pull the ring free but it wouldn't budge. Panicking as her mother reached her, both women watched with morbid fascination as green energy pulsed from the jewelry sending Mrs. Higurashi flying across the room.

“Mom!”

Running towards the fallen woman, Kagome found her face to face with a barrier of some type, clear until touched it flashed purple beneath the teenager's frantic fingertips.

“I've failed you. It's too late, the ring has chosen.” The fallen woman cried.

“What are you talking about? What's going on, are you okay?” Pacing back and forth, Kagome stared at the shimmering barrier unable to believe what she was seeing. First the ring and now this, what was happening, what was next?

“You're a miko honey, just as I was and my mother, and her mother and so forth. I was hoping the curse would skip you as it had done for me, but I was wrong. ”

“A miko! Ugh, I have to get you some help mom, wait here. ” Kagome shouted at her apparently delusional mother.

“Listen to me!”

Hands pulling at her hair, Kagome shuddered. Her mother was having a mental break down on the floor and she could do nothing due to that damn thing in her way. She doesn't come home on time once and the world falls apart!

“I can't drop the barrier until you leave this room. Go to the shrine Kagome and wait there for me.”

Looking at the purple bubble, Kagome shrieked, “What! You're doing this?”

“Go!”

Hesitantly leaving the room, Kagome reached the door, looked back before running through the hall to the stairs and followed them down and out of the house. Passing the God tree she felt a pulse from her ring but not stopping in her sprint she made it to the shrines doors. Now safely a distance away from her house she looked back to where her bedroom window was. She watched perplexed as a purple flash lit up the dark room.

Too many weird things were going on that she didn't have answers to and that god-forsaken ring was now starting to burn her finger! Rushing into the shrine she sank to her knees, the pain from the ring becoming too much as her vision began to blur.

“Is someone whispering?” She vaguely thought as the silhouette of a woman approached her. Blacking out completely all Kagome heard was the soft sing song voice of a woman repeatedly sinking words into her subconscious.

If only for a day,

If only for a night,

That peace could but shine,

As two worlds intertwine,

To grasp the hand of eternity,

Is but the lesson of the rings,

Be it war or be it peace,

As I wish it so shall it be!

OOO

“Hey baby, how bout I ssssuck your cock?”

Hissed a snake youkai clad in a green latex dress. The music in the club was so loud it reverberated off the walls and into the hearts of those stuck in its stream. Girls in cages, both human and youkai, reached out to passer bys promising good times. Especially the tall silver haired inu that had just walked in, all eyes and fantasies were on him.

“Aw, don't be a ssssore puppy, I'm great at it.” Pushing the black haired demon away, Sesshomaru sighed. So this was Tokyo's finest underground club, The Void. It didn't look like much to him, he had seen much better.

Heading towards a spot in the back he watched all the characters near the bar, drunken little girls barely seventeen who mostly likely blew the bouncer or snuck in, sat giggling in inebriated fun. To be honest the place was crawling with intoxicated humans, not something he very much liked. Their stench polluted the air everywhere he turned, violating his delicate sense of smell with their putrid sweaty musk and arousal.

Taking a seat he watched uninterested as a cage near him cooed and whistled trying to gain his attention to the occupants inside. Bare breasted mortals and demons rocked back and forth against each other in time to the fast techno beat.

“Pathetic isn't it?”

Hazy golden eyes looked to the spiky red headed demon that had spoken. Tall and lean, a strong aura exuded from this being. Silver eyes smiled pleasure to the silver haired hottie in front of him.

“My name is Rav, I don't believe I've seen you here before.”

“You haven't.”

“Your name?”

“Sesshomaru.”

There was a moment of pause as the two stared at each other, silver into gold. The club and its inhabitants blurred away as the hunger of the two youkai's began to rise.

“So Sessh-”

“Cease your talking… and follow.”

Pushing through the gyrating bodies around them, the two found their way out to the back of the club and into an alley. The music still eternally loud bumped through the walls, leaking into the tiny space they occupied. As if under a spell everything unraveled as if from a dream, slow and erotic. Clothes peeled away from sleek muscular bodies, as fangs and tongues entwined and teased flawless skin. Masculine growls and groans blended with the banging drums of the club's music.

“Fuck!”

White-hot flames exploded behind Rav's eyes as he was impaled on Sesshomaru. Against the wall face to face the two dug their claws into the other as thrust after thrust rocked them against the club.

“Harder” Cried the silver-eyed youkai.

“Didn't. I. Tell. You. Not. To. Speak?” Five songs later and the two collapsed in exhaustion.

Completely satisfied, Sesshomaru slipped out of Rav's body and headed back into the `The Void,' a faint murmur of `call me' yelled at his unconcerned back was promptly ignored.

Rocking his body slightly to the music, Sesshomaru enjoyed the euphoric feeling that swept over him. Today was a new day in a new place and he'd be damned if he didn't enjoy himself. He'd ravage every young buck in this place if he so wished, which was actually one of the many reasons his mother was so quick to have sent him off, his love of trouble and sex! Honestly, some people just don't know how to live.

No one here knew him and would it matter if they did? He thought not. They all were beneath him, vermin on the dirt packed floor of life. So his reasoning was if such was the case, and the gods had saw fit to purposely leave him in this life, then he would ride the waves wherever they would take him. Speaking of riding waves it wouldn't hurt to get on the next pleasure ride; maybe he'd take that snake up on her offer.

So the aroused Inu approached his pray and watched her slowly lick her lips.

“I knew you'd be back.”

As the demon dropped to her knees before him he faintly heard the tracks of the next rock song prancing into his ears, a tune he'd never heard…before everything went black.

If only for a day,

If only for a night,

That peace could but shine,

As two worlds intertwine,

To grasp the hand of eternity,

Is but the lesson of the rings,

Be it war or be it peace,

As I wish it so shall it be!

OOO

“Ugh, what happened?” Gingerly touching her aching head, Kagome moaned. She felt stiff and cold. It didn't help that she had woken up on the floor of the shrine. Standing on wobbling legs she made her way to the door and paused. What had happened last night?

Pushing aside the door, the woozy teenager squinted into the morning sun. Glancing quickly at her watch, Kagome completely forgot about all weird events and made a run for the house, if she didn't hurry she would miss first period and would suffer hearing Yasha's mouth.

Hair mussed, clothes wrinkled and inside out was how one could find the now sprinting girl. Out of breath, Kagome quickly made her way to the corner hoping that she could at least catch the second half of the lesson. With her mind occupied by other thoughts the poor girl for whatever reason had not noticed the approaching motorcycle until it was upon her.

“Get out of the way wench!”

Falling to the ground at the feet of the driver, Kagome could not believe what had just happened, the nerve of some people. Cursing the day that had just barely begun, she hurriedly picked up her fallen books and shuffled off half heartedly to school. What would the day have in store for her?

“Ms. Higurashi please see me after school for detention.”

Groaning at the teacher, Kagome sluggishly made her way to the back of the class. Forty minutes late to school and soaking wet due to an unexpected rain shower, the aggravated teenager did not want to be bothered. However, sitting right next to her best friend she steeled herself for the rush of questions that would surely be thrown her way.

“You look like shit!” Inuyasha roared.

“Mr. Tashio, you may join Ms. Higurashi after school.”

Barring his fangs at the boring teacher before him, Inuyasha once again turned his attention to Kagome. Dark circles lined under her eyes accompanied by bags so big she might as well have gone on vacation. Her hair normally groomed was bushy and sported an interested variety of twigs and other natural debris. What the hell had she been doing? Opening his mouth to speak he was quickly cut off with a look that spelt murder.

“Look, I don't feel like talking about.” Turning away from her friend the exhausted sixteen year old put her head down and zoned out. It wasn't as if she was missing much anyways. `Same old school, same old lessons, same old same old. Doesn't even matter anymore, does it?'

The school bell rang jerking the sleeping mass of girlish flesh awake with a start. Looking around, Kagome noticed all of her classmates packing up and already headed towards the door. Standing she too grabbed her things and quietly walked out of the classroom. Where was Inuyasha though?

Normally he waited for her, or even at least woke her up before the bell. Shrugging off the weird behavior of her friend, Kagome continued through the mass of crowded children headed towards her locker. Turning her head to the side she spotted Sango and Miroku.

“Hey guys, over here!”

Watching as her friends continued to talk, Kagome decided to approach them. Right in front of the duo she stopped.

“Guys what's up?” Still the two talked as if she were not there.

“Hello? Guys, I'm right here?” Stomping her foot on the ground, Kagome stared angrily at her two so called friends. Getting a sudden idea, she hoped Sango would forgive her later; Kagome turned around and promptly shook her behind towards Miroku. `He so cannot ignore this.' Gyrating her hips in all different directions she waited. But…nothing happened.

Staggering back away from the pair, Kagome began to panic.

“Can anyone see me, hear me, anything?” Standing in the middle of the hallway, she yelled to the moving teens. Yet no one seemed to acknowledge her and this further elevated her fear. Rushing down the hallway, bumping past phantom shoulders, Kagome fell while rounding the corner and found herself at the feet of the passing kids.

Arms thrown over her head, curled into a fetal position she whimpered. Why was this happening? Had she not suffered enough? Yet as quickly as it had happened it was over as all sounds disappeared for an instant, causing the girl to crack open an eye. Astonished to see the hallway completely empty of feet, she rose shakily off the floor.

Slightly relived, breathing quickly became a hard task as she turned and found herself face to face with a pair of liquid amber eyes. She had seen this man before, remembered the feeling he had invoked and could not shake the shiver of excitement that ran through her. Why was he here? Where was everyone else?

Noting the slight shift in the male's nostrils she figured he was breathing in her scent, a fact she had learned from Inuyasha. Those captivating golden narrowed and stared into hers reflecting something dangerous. Inhaling deeply, something she had not realized she forgot to do, Kagome backed away suddenly, over come with fear as the demon advanced towards her.

Focus wavered between the crescent moon upon his forehead to his eyes before he had advanced upon her. She chastised herself for thinking of how beautiful he was and not paying more attention.

“Miko!”

His deep baritone voice echoed from what felt like his soul to hers, and as he went to strike her down she could only recall a burning sensation upon her hand before they were both no more.

OOO

Shooting up in her seat, Kagome gasped for air. Sweat trickled upon her skin as her clothes became suddenly unbearably uncomfortable. Jumping at the concerned touch of Inuyasha, the frantic girl grabbed her things before briskly walking past the startled teacher and gapping students. Out of the class and down the same hall as her dream she walked as if in a daze and upon rounding the corner she half expected to see those golden eyes.

“I'm losing my damn mind!”

Hurrying to the girl's bathroom, Kagome locked the door before backing away. Subconsciously raising her hand that harbored the ring to her chest she tried to tell her self that it all was just a dream, a very twisted, weird dream about a guy who looked like her best friend and tried to attack her. Were the planets not aligned right, or her sign in the wrong house of constellations?

“All of this started after I met that stupid, arrogant, half naked bastard!”

While her thoughts took over and described every way in which she wanted to somehow maim and molest the gorgeous demon at her best friend's house, Kagome had begun to splash cold water upon her face. After several deep breaths she felt more stable and ready to seize the day.

Wiping off her hands she quickly peered into the mirror…and then forcefully let loose a bloody curdling scream. There in the mirror was not the reflection of the sixteen year old Kagome Higurashi but that of a certain silver haired, golden eyes demon moving exactly as she did.

Of course the only sensible thing to do in such a situation is to pass out promptly upon the floor from fear…and that was exactly what the exhausted girl did. Laid out cold upon the floor in a locked girl's bathroom during first period, what a wonderful way to spend ones birthday week.

A/N- Ha cliffy! So what sue me ^_^ If you want more then you must review and tell us what ya think, I mean everyone loves to hear how much their work made you laugh and cry with extreme happiness…right…right? Oh well, until then I'm going to go and poke at Kagome's defenseless body, bye!

DG- Why are you poking at her?

(AA looks caught)

AA- Oh come on she was there, should I leave a perfectly good body to waste.

Sessh- She does have a point.

DG- Where did you come from?

AA- (Stares) DG why are you asking question. We are in a locked girls bathroom, get him!

(Both girls tackles Sesshomaru to the floor)

Sessh- Oh the horror.

DG/AA- shutup!

(Kagome still knocked out begins to drool)
