Through Inuyasha's Dreams

Part Two

By Ryoga Girl

The river ran smoothly during the day and the sun reflected its beauty off of it. The light was in Kagome's eyes and she shielded herself from the luminous object. In front of her, Inuyasha walked wuth his arms folded. She couldn't see his expression, but she was more than sure that he was not smiling. The other walked slowly in back of her keeping a watchful distance from Inuyasha incase Kagome decided to bring up his recent reactions to his dreams and what she hears.

"Um, Inuyasha?" She wanted to say something so badly. She needed to know.

"What is it?"

"Uh......" Should she say something? "Can we stop here and rest a bit?"

"We just left the village a litle while ago. Why stop now?" He didn't show his usual frustration. Something was definetly wrong.

"I'm just.....not feeling so good right now."

"oh, fine." They sat down by the river and ate a small snack while Shippo played in the river like the child he is. Kagome came closer to Inuyasha and decided that now was a good time to bring up the dream.

"Inuyasha, I have something to tell you." Little did she know, he was thinking the same thing. But he couldn't tell her now, now's not a good time.

"Yes?"

"Well...this isn't easy for me, but...for the past couple of days you've been acting so strangely."

"How?" He kept calm. She couldn't have known about the dream.

"Like, you...you've been saying what you are thinking outloud."

"I have?"

"As in really outloud." She tried to hint to him what she meant. But as far as she could see, he wasn't getting the clue.

"I don't think so." He continuously told himself to play dumb. He knew exactly what she meant.

"Are you sure."

"Quite positive. I think I can hear myself, Kagome."

"Oh, okay." Her feelings were a mix of frustration, anger and pity. Was the dream so bad that he could tell her what is was. But then again, they've been together for so long. Why couldn't he tell her what's on his mind. And why is he playing dumb? She wanted him to admit his dream so badly.. She just wanted him to open up.

Inuyasha, had a mix of feelings for this situation. Why was she invading? Why can't he tell her? What happens if he doesn't? He decided to not say anything until the time was right. He didn't want her, or anyone for that matter, to get worried about him. 'Dreams are nothing,' he tried to convince himself.

"KAGOME!!!!!! Where are you?!!!" He screamed out for her with no response in return. Nothing gave an answer but the sound of the river waves in the night and a nearby howl of a wolf. He ihaled and exhaled looking from side to side and back to front. Nothing. She was nowhere. And then.....

"INUYASHA!!!!!!!!!" she screamed. "HELP!!!" He heard shouts and cries of struggle and figured out that someone was trying to hurt her.

"GET OFF!! KEEP AWAY FROM ME!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! STOP!!! INUYASHA!!!!!!!"

"KAGOME! I"M COMING!!!" He heard her scream again. It was coming from the back of him and he began to dash towards it.

"INUYASHA!! HELP!!! AUGHH!! STOP IT! GET OFF OF ME!!!"

But the cries came from the back of him. They were moving.

"INUYASH!!"

The cry came from the back of him again. They couldn't be moving that fast. He couldn't save her. He couldn't find her. He didn't know where he was. And soon it would be too late.

"KAGOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO!!!!!!! KAGOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

He awoke screaming her name again. He doubted the fact that the other couldn't hear him since his echoed into the mountains.

And he was right.

Above, to the side and behind him, Kagom, Miroku, Shippo, and Sango stood with frightful eyes. Kagome was in tears.

Um..." Inuyasha started. "I have something to tell you lot....."
