Ch. 14
-------------------------------------
InuYasha continues panting for breath, sweat completely soaking every inch of his skin.
“He’s drenched”, Sakura whispers, leaning over to mop the sweat from his face.
“Kagome…”, he moans, squeezing his eyes tightly shut.
“He’s dreaming…About my mother…!”, she gasps, ‘Could it be that he remembers everything on a subconscious level, that it wasn’t erased, but instead it was sealed’, she thinks, “I wonder what he’s dreaming about?”
-------------------------
-InuYasha’s Dream-
(Where am I?), InuYasha asks himself, looking around at the black void surrounding him.
The sound of running water could be heard in the void’s blackness.
(Water?), he questions, following the sound.
A circle of light opens up in the void of blackness.
(Huh?), he gasps, walking up to the light and touching it; his hands pressed against a cool, hard, see-through, crystal-like material.
(A/N: In other words; glass!)
He peers through it; seeing a river with rocky-cliffs on either sides of the river, a lone boat travels down the river with three people riding in it.
His eyes widen as he quickly recognizes one of the passengers.
(Kagome!), he growls, watching Sakura’s mother enjoy the boat-ride.
(A/N: The lines are from the English version of Episode 13!)
“Wow! This is awesome! Look a fish!”, Kagome exclaims, pointing.
(Look at that prissy little bitch enjoy herself…), he angrily growls, (If I were there, I would…)
“Would you mind focusing a little? We’re not here to look at the scenery!”, a familiar voice scorns.
(What the…?), he gasps, looking over at the passenger that spoke, (It’s me!), he thinks, so shocked that he went deaf during the words exchanged between Kagome and himself on the other side of the glass.
The InuYasha on the boat notices something hanging over the river.
“Hm?”
“What is it?”, Kagome asks.
“Spider webs…”, he trails off.
“Those are spider webs? Are you sure?”
He slices through the webbing, then looks at the strands sticking to his hand.
(Uh…), InuYasha groans, holding his head as he wavers, trying to stand on shaky legs, (Why am I seeing this?), his hearing leaving him again.
(Pay attention to what you are watching), a woman’s voice instructs.
(Huh?), turning his attention back to the glass, to see that he was sitting on the river-bank; completely soaked in water from his toes all the way up to the tips of his dog-ears.
He was muttering curses about being wet under his breath, while Kagome was treating the injuries of the girl who caused him to fall into the river.
“Do you mind my asking what was after you just now?”, Kagome says.
“It was a demon known as a spider-head”, the girl replies, “These mountains have been plagued by their evil presence since spring time. Several villages have already been attacked”.
(Spider-heads?), InuYasha whispers, the words sounding familiar and missing the rest of the girl’s explanation.
“You can say that again. Hey InuYasha, we have to do something to help!”, Kagome states.
InuYasha’s hearing goes deaf as the InuYasha on the other side says something.
“Not yet, and I didn’t pick anything up from the spider-head just now”, Kagome replies, answering the question he didn’t hear.
“Then let’s move out. I want to cross these mountains before nightfall”, he retorts.
“We can’t just walk away! There’s a demon on the loose!”
“Listen… I don’t go slaying demons every-time a human comes running scared to me!”
“No one’s suggesting you do”.
(Nightfall? I’m not scared of the dark!), he wonders, confused as to what just happened.
(This is taking too long, I’ll have to speed this up), the woman’s voice says.
(Huh?), he gasps, watching the scene wiz quickly until it stopped with them at a temple, Kagome was quite contently eating while InuYasha sat in the doorway.
‘It’s getting late…’, InuYasha thinks, staring at the moonless sky.
“Hey InuYasha!”, Kagome calls.
“Hmm?”
“Why the long face?”, she asks.
“It’s nothing…”, he replies, then finds Kagome staring at him; her face a few inches from his, “What? You have a problem?”, he asks.
“Wait a second! I know what’s going on here!”
“Hmmm?”, nervousness visible on his face.
“You’re afraid of spiders!”
The scene goes black for a few moments, when the scene returns, InuYasha looks flustered.
“I’m not afraid of spiders!”, he growls.
“Now where are you going?”, Kagome asks.
“To get some fresh air! I’m sleeping outside tonight!”, he yells, “Huh?”, noticing glowing red eyes outside in the trees and bushes, ‘Damn! We’re surrounded! How could I have missed their scent?’, he thinks.
(How could I miss smelling a demon? Unless, I was turning human!), he gasps.
“InuYasha!”, Kagome screams, when some web gets stuck to his arm.
“Make a break! I’ll be right behind you!”, he demands.
“But we can’t…”.
“Do as I say, I can handle these demons!”
(I’m defending her! Why am I protecting her?), he whispers, watching himself get covered in webs and Kagome running over to help him struggle free, then run into the woods with webs still stuck to his head; covering his hair.
They continue running until they stop underneath a large tree.
“We should be safe here”, Kagome sighs.
“Damn it!”, he curses.
“What’s with you? You’re acting weirder than normal”, she asks, reaching out to grab the webs.
“Leave me alone!”
“What has gotten into you?”, she questions, tugging on a clump of webs, “Hmm?”
He pulls a large clump of webs from his head, exposing his black hair, “Forget about me for now!”, he retorts, opening his violet eyes and glaring at her out of the corner of them, “You should be more worried about yourselves!”
“Your hair’s gone black!”, she gasps.
(Kagome found out my secret!), he gasps, so shocked that he turns away from the scene, and when he turns to look again, he sees a spider-like demon in a priest’s robes, extending his arm and grabbing him by the neck; slamming his back against a pillar.
“Gnh!”, InuYasha groans, grabbing the demon’s wrist, to prevent the demon from choking him.
“What an unfortunate mishap that your superhuman powers had deserted you, by the time I tied the final knot on my gauzy web of deceit!”, the demon laughs.
“I may not have my usual powers…”, he forcefully says, removing the demon’s hand from his throat and pushes off the pillar at the demon, “But I’ll still crush you!”
The demon shoots a stream of webs at him; hitting him full force, and he falls to the floor, partially covered in webs. Then he is lifted up into the air by the webs.
“Finally, this tiresome charade as a human has ended!”, the demon chuckles, right before his body transforms into a spider-web shaped body.
The demon quickly thrusts his head at InuYasha, sinking his fangs deeply into his shoulder.
“Aah!”, InuYasha moans, unable to move.
(Nnk…!), he screams out, clutching his left shoulder as he sunk to his knees, (Why does my shoulder hurt?), he thinks, as his shoulder throbs in pain; like an old memory.
When he turns his attention from his shoulder and back to the glass, Kagome was climbing the demon’s body trying to get to him.
“Kagome…Save yourself…”, he groans.
“No chance!”, she retorts, continuing to climb.
“I’m serious…It’s too late for me…”.
“I’m not leaving here without you! No way!”, she says, pushing off the demon’s body at him, tears brimming her eyes.
“Huh?”, he gasps, noticing her tears.
(Kagome…She was crying…), InuYasha gasps, still clutching his shoulder.
He watches Kagome and the girl drag him into the back-room and closes the door, then thrust a sword into the door.
(That’s the rusty sword I let Sakura keep!), he says, (Why is it here?)
Kagome takes hold of his hand, “He’s freezing!”, she gasps, “InuYasha, you have to stay with us! Say something! Can you hear me?”
(She’s worried about me!), he blinks, watching.
“This all happened because I suggested we stay here at the temple”, she sobs.
“You mustn’t put the blame on yourself”, the girl says.
“But it is all my fault!”
(She’s blaming herself for my condition, because I got hurt…), he whispers, intently watching.
InuYasha moans, his face covered in a thin layer of sweat.
“He’s dripping in sweat”, she whispers, taking a handkerchief out of her pocket and wipes the sweat from his brow.
“Huh?”, he moans, opening his eyes.
“Sorry! I didn’t wake you up, did I?”
“No…”, he simply says, turning his head to look away, “Kagome…”
“What is it?”
“Tell me something. Why were you crying?”, he asks.
“Uh? Back in the other room?”, she questions, “Because…I thought I was going to lose you. I thought you were gonna die”.
“You shed tears for me. Cried for me”, he says, “Kagome…If it’s not too much trouble, may I lie on your lap?”, he adds, a very light blush on his cheeks.
“Huh?”, she lightly bushes, “Mmm”, she nods.
(I asked her that? I actually asked to do that!), he gasps, covering his mouth with his hand in shock.
InuYasha comfortably lays with his head on Kagome’s lap.
“How do you feel? A little better than before?”, she asks.
“Yes”, he replies, with his eyes closed, “Kagome…You smell kind of nice”.
“Huh?”, she gasps, blushing, “Okay, that’s it! You made a point of telling me before that you couldn’t stand my scent!”
“I did…”, he began, “But I was lying”.
“Huh?”, her blush darkens.
The circle of light closes, leaving InuYasha in the darkness of the black void.
(I said that to her!), he gasps.
(Now don’t forget what you saw, for it did truly happen), the woman’s voice says.
(Who are you?), he shouts, just before he is blinded by a bright light.
