Chapter 3-Sunrise

Kagome awoke in her new, New York apartment in a cold sweat.

She had failed to rid herself of memories of him. She was away from things that reminded her of him, but she was not away from the dreams.

As usual, the dream was about him. But this time the dream included Suteki too.

They played together on the same field that he named her. Next to him she was his female clone. The sun was not setting this time, but rising. A thin line of red blemished the horizon as the sun began to conquer the night. She began to laugh hysterically as he grabbed her sides to tickle her mercilessly. She rolled around on the grass dampened by the sweet morning dew as her immaculate laughter rang throughout the valley echoing in Kagome's ears.

The vision of him and her daughter together in such harmony caused guilt to germinate within her barricaded heart. She could feel her conscious self sharply gasp for breath and it hurt.

By this time he and Suteki had regained their breath as well from their little tickle game.

She saw his face as he looked up at the reddened sky. He turned to Suteki and sighed.

"It looks like it's going to be a pretty crummy day," he stated.

"Why do you say that Daddy?" Suteki asked, her words weighed on naïveté. The sound of her voice forming the word "daddy" made the newly formed guilt inside Kagome's heart grow to uncharted levels. He smiled.

"Haven't you heard the saying?" he asked her placing his favourite pirate hat on her small head. It was evidently too big for her, but she didn't seem to mind that much. Her large amber eyes were concentrated on the man in front of her-her Daddy. He widened his smile to a smirk-his infamous smirk that could turn the fan girls' knees to jelly. "Red at night is a sailor's delight. But red in the morning is a sailor's warning," he continued.

"How did you know that?" Suteki asked, the questions flowing.

"Well… I met a sailor once," he gloated. Suteki gasped in disbelief.

"Really, Daddy?"

…there it was again… she called him… Daddy…

"Really, really, kiddo. And these weren't just any sailors, girl," he assured her as her curious gaze on her father intensified. "These were pirates!"

"PIRATES!" she exclaimed.

"Yeah…" he affirmed. "Now, these pirates might sound perty evil, but these were pretty nice guys. Once you beat them in a little sword fight, they're like, the best friends you could have sailing across the Mediterranean."

"Wow." Suteki awed.

"In fact, you're wearing the captain's hat!" Suteki's eyes widened taking off the oversized hat atop her head to graze her small fingers along the visor. "Wanna hear what happened?"

Suteki's eye's widened in excitement as she pounced on him begging for him to start the story. He was immediately thrown off balance trying to calm the hyper child practically bouncing on his stomach.

"Okay, okay kiddo… here goes…" he started. She settled herself down and leaned back to sit on her knees. He was still lying on his side propping his head on his right arm, ready to begin story.

But Kagome never heard the rest of the story for she was being pulled from the scene. Her vision blurred then went pitch black. She opened her eyes, gasping to the unfamiliar ceiling of her new apartment. Her vision still blurred and she felt a cold wet streak run down the side of her face. Air came to her in short breaths and she could feel her lungs cry for more.

Somehow she gathered the strength to stand up and walk to the sliding door leading toward to the balcony. The New York skyline was tainted with a red velvet lining. A light breeze blew past her lifting her delicate raven tresses behind her as it entwined itself within them. Though alien, it still bore his haunting voice.

"…But red in the morning is a sailor's warning…"

"Oh Inu Yasha…" Kagome sobbed, gripping the cold railings.

"I still love you…"

~*~

Today was just like every other day…

Inu Yasha woke up in a cold sweat…

Once again triggered by the same dream…

Darkness and the haunting sobs of his bloodshot love… yes he loved her…

Blinding light surrounding…

And the child was still there… giggling as if being tickled by someone.

Yet today… he was given a new revelation.

Amidst the white light flashed a beautiful pair of amber eyes. Not his… for his never ever showed such happiness… such curiosity and innocence. Long raven eyelashes adorned each lid… this child was most definitely a girl.

A new sensation filled his heart… one he hadn't felt since he signed his first and only record deal. It was a distinct emotion amongst the desolation, anxiety and sorrow that had long since saturated his heart. It was determination… to find this girl who haunted his dreams. She just might be a link to Kagome…

He froze.

Lying face-first and buried in his pillows, he realized another sensation penetrate his heart…

Not just purpose…

But hope…

He roused himself, realizing his grumbling stomach. Groggily, he lifted his head to check the time. The electronic clock blared in neon green numbers: 5:00am. Yep it was wakeup time.

Inu Yasha was always an early morning guy. Not a very happy one-but he was always awake by five to watch the sunrise. Even if he went to bed at four, he would never miss the sunrise… unless he and Kagome…

Aww shit…again he thought of their nights of sexual intimacy. The feel of her bare skin at his fingertips… her lips pressed upon his… His body moulded against hers… Her fingertips trailing up and down his spine…

He bit his lower lip to replace the memories with pain. The coppery flavour of his own blood trickled down his throat. As expected, the giggling once again filled his ears. Every time he would attempt to harm himself, the giggling began and it was not until he stood up and wiped the blood from his face did it stop.

Remembering his complaining stomach he walked toward his kitchen. He opened the cupboards to find it full of Ramen. He smiled, knowing that Sango had been there. He never had the need to shop as long as she was around. He looked at the wide variety of flavoured Ramen-every flavour but Vegetable. Sango knew him well. He didn't know how, but she would always find a way to learn about what he liked despite his anti-social attitude. He closed his eyes and randomly chose a cup. When he finally opened his eyes he read the package with contentment. Today, he was going to have pork flavoured ramen.

He filled the Kettle with water and let the water boil. While waiting he half opened the lid and when the water was ready he poured the water up to the red line and resealed the lid. Grabbing a fork from the top drawer he took his breakfast out to simmer in the cold New York breeze. He sighed gazing at the reddened skyline.

Tapping the lid of his ramen cup with his fork, he remembered the wise words of the Pirate Captain he met when he and his crew hijacked his father's sailboat while he and his father sailed the Mediterranean.

"Red at night is a sailor's delight...but red in the morning is a sailor's warning…"

Funny… he thought, sniffing the air. Normally he could smell the scent of the acid rain that fell in New York, still hanging in the Stratosphere. It doesn't smell like it's going to rain at all…

But rain is not the only thing that can ruin one's day.
