InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Through The Mist ❯ Ch3 ( Chapter 3 )

Chapter 3

I woke up to darkness, it took a while for my eyes to adjust. I looked around, noticing it wasn't my room. My room was white with a bed in the middle with a pink comforter. It was by a big window so it was always bright in there and it was very homey, with all my stuffed animals and my wood desk.

Suddenly all the memories came flooding back to me. Kouga's attempted rape, the fear, God I was scared shitless. Then that silver haired boy, what was it, Inuyana, that was an odd name. He saved me, I should thank him, man I was a bitch. All the blood left my face and I became woozy. My knees buckled and I began to fall. I must have fainted because I don't remember hitting the ground. Then it hit me, those silver flecks in the forest was his hair! I wasn't going crazy! What a relief. I let out a sigh, that explained so much. Well I guess this day wasn't so bad, I'm not crazy and I wasn't raped. That sounds retarded. I'm probably crazy for thinking that this is a good day. Besides I don't know if I haven't been raped, that guy might have raped me while I was asleep. That made a new wave of paranoia hit me.

Where was this Inuyana guy anyway. What happened to Kouga, is he all right? I should stop thinking about him. Am I still considered raped or am I safe? How long have I been asleep, does my family know I'm gone? Where is here?

I tried to stop the amount of shit I was in and go find Inuyana. Or should I leave? Well, which ever works. Surprisingly I wasn't terrified of him, he did save me. No I kind of felt safe… God! I am crazy!

I spun so I was facing the wall to find I was still in my shirt and bra. I was probably in his bed, it smelled like a man's bed. It was a guy's bedroom, really small. The bed had red sheets and a black comforter. White walls with a white dresser, very plain. Maybe this guy was poor, not that I'm rich. Or maybe he just preferred it this way. I'm a moron, trying to figure this guy out by his bedroom, but a bedroom can tell you lots of stuff about a person like if he's a pig or a neat freak. This guy's room was to empty to tell.

I attempted to stand, my first attempt failed miserably. My second attempt was better, I managed to get halfway to the door when I fell straight on my ass. Inuyana must of heard me fall so soon the door knob began to turn and he entered looking quite disordered. He must have been sleeping since he was just in his yellow Spongebob Squarepants boxers. His eyes were lidded with sleep, his hair was a deray, yet still managed to look nice. My hair just look matted and tangled. I'm surprised I hadn't noticed how cute he was before, probably cause I was throwing a major bitch fit. His silver hair looked like snow that had just dropped from the heavens and his molten amber eyes were fire burning on a late night camp trip. He was buff, but not Olympic weight lifter buff, more like I work out and take good care of myself buff. He had chiseled abs, a six pack, most impressive.

"Kagome? Are you ok-" He asked full of concern, how sweet, but then he cut himself off. I wondered why he stopped but then noticed he was looking down. Then I remembered I wasn't wearing pants or underwear. I'm such a slut! I just met him and I'm already flashing him, no self respect. I was disgusted with myself.

"Well, are you just going to stare or are you going to get me some boxers or something, assumably you don't have any panties." I snapped, letting my anger out on him. I kind of felt bad for yelling at him but his staring was starting to get on my nerves. I think he took offense because he answered harshly. I think I deserved it.

"Excuse me wench! I was the one who saved you after all. You could at least say thank you, show some gratitude!" I felt guilty, he made a good point, saving me and all so I quickly apologized. He seemed to forgive me but when he spoke it was gruff, not like before when his voice was laced with kindness and concern. "Kagome, I have to explain some things to you." He said.

"Okay," I nodded, "but could you get me something to wear?" I was modest, and I hated showing my parts off to men, I mean I didn't get the nerve to wear my bikini till eight months after I bought it.

"Uh, sure. Are boxers okay?" I nodded again. He walked over to the dresser confirming that this was his room. He handed them to me the lifted me off the floor bridal style considering I was still sprawled across the room and I hadn't regained feeling in my legs yet. I was thankful he took me without invitation, I don't like to ask things of people. I was especially thankful that he took care not to touch any of my more private areas.

"Thank you, for everything Inuyana." I said gratefully. He dropped me on the bed ungracefully. I sat up to look his in the face, well more the abs so I had to tilt my head up.

"Inuyasha." He answered. I from that moment on I would never forget that name, thought I had no clue why. I started to put on the boxers which was very difficult since I couldn't lift my legs.

I began to think of everything that happened to me tonight. It was kind of scary, the whole Inuyasha thing. He seemed to notice my mind wandering tonight. He snapped his fingers in front of my face getting my attention back from the clouds. I blinked and smiled. "Are you feeling all right?" He questioned. He put the back of his hand on my forehead, it was so warm, like a pillow, then suddenly a memory came flying at me.

I was 12 years old at our family shrine in Tokyo. I was in the backyard, it was a sunny day, then wind barely blowing, birds chirping, bugs making little bug sounds. I was dressed up in a miko outfit, my mom said I looked adorable. I was playing in the back yard pretending to be a powerful priestess, shooting my bow and arrows, running all around the place. Then I came out around this huge tree. The roots came out of the ground a little so it was easy to climb. There was a strange story about this tree though I couldn't remember it. Grandpa always tried to drill old legends into my head, he even had a story about oden.

This tree always scared me because embedded into the center was an arrow, but nobody else could see it. I felt odd talking about it when no one else could se it. I tried to convince myself that it wasn't there but every time I tried a force hit me, like a wave crashing onto the sand. Today I decided to find out the truth, I was going to climb the tree and touch the arrow to see if it was real.

I walked up to the tree, the wind blowing my hair slightly. I climbed onto the roots, pulling myself up by gripping the crevices in the tree. I let my fingers graze the tip of the arrow, nothing happened. I decided to grab it, maybe once it was out of the tree everyone else could see it to. I slowly grabbed the arrow but then a bright pink light erupted from my hand. When the light faded I looked at my hand but there was no arrow. I suddenly felt exhausted , I could barely stand, scratch that, I couldn't stand. I felt my knees buckle as I fell into darkness. I never spoke of that moment when the pink light erupted out of my hand, nor the arrow. I convinced myself it was a dream and forgot about it till now.

I don't know why I thought of this now but for some reason I feel it's connected to Inuyasha, but that preposterous, the thought's insane, right?
