InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Stuff of Nightmares ❯ Stuff of Nightmares ( Chapter 1 )

 

The night was still and quiet around the dark mansion. No animals dared to come near, they instinctively knew to stay away. Inside the dark rooms and halls of the mansion, all was quiet as well. In a small room, two figures lay sleeping. One small and pale, like a porcelain doll, who sleeping looked almost dead. The other was a woman with jade earrings, her hair taken down for the night, her fan by the side of the pallet she slept on. Restless dreams plagued her, and she tossed and murmured in her sleep.

 

In Kagura's dream, she was running. He was after her, her master and tormentor. Somewhere behind her, she felt him coming. But the mansion was endless - where was the door? She panted in fear…

 

Out of the dark, green ropey tentacles shot out - she gasped as they wrapped around her, dragging her back. Desperately she tried to hold on to something to stop their relentless pull - her hands scrabbling at the walls and floors. The tentacles contracted tighter, and she could hardly away as they dragged her away to her doom….

 

Waking up panting in fear, Kagura took a moment to regain her composure. Oh, as if her waking life were not hell enough, now even her dreams were hellish. Putting her hands to her face, Kagura wished for the seemingly hundredth time that Lord Sesshomaru would finally take that bastard Naraku out….

As she lay curled up asleep against the two headed dragon, her little mouth parted and making soft snores, Rin was dreaming. Before her a mighty battle waged between her Lord and Naraku. Tentacles shot out at him from Narakus underside, as Lord Sesshomaru wielded Tokijin against him.

 

`My Lord, watch out!' Rin in the dream called out.

 

But the tentacles smothered her Lord, and she could see him no more. Gasping in anguish, Rin covered her mouth, tears coming to her great dark eyes. Was her Lord really doomed? Had Naraku won?

 

Waking with a start, Rin woke and gasped in fear as the cool night air and sounds of the forest began to bring her out of her nightmare. Glancing around her, she spotted Jaken and then her Lord, sleeping peacefully. It was just a bad dream…but it had felt so real!

In a dark bedroom, a place no one but its owner went of their own volition, some one slept. His bed was of the quality befitting a wealthy man, even if he had come by it through deception. About him were those things one would expect of a young man of his rank - chests of silk clothes, finely painted scrolls on the walls. He dreamed of….tentacles.

Ropey and thick, strong and green, they writhed about. Nothing escaped their slithering grasp. No one dared anger their owner for fear of the wrath he would wreak upon them with the loathsome appendages. They were mighty tools of a fearsome owner…

 

With a sigh of disgust, the persons red eyes opened, as the dream faded…

 

“Who the fuck ever decided to give me tentacles,” Naraku said to no one in particular. “Disgusting if useful things….but I've got to get rid of them. Unless I can find any girls who like tentacle sex….”

 

With an evil smirk, Naraku went back to sleep thinking about what he could do to a certain undead miko with his tentacles given half a chance….
