A Midsummer Knights Dream
By: Kirralle
Casting a soft shadow on the castle walls, Inuyasha, the current nightguard and newly Knighted
hanyou paced back and forth infront of the castle gates. He glared up at the moon which shone
dimly on the castle grounds and frowned.
"its your fault i got in trouble you know." he mumbled, sitting down and leaning up against the east
wall.
"I was waiting for you to come back...cause you said you would. So where the hell are you!" He
grumbled a bit louder, striking up a chain of barks from inside the castles barn, where five
sheepdogs slumbered peacefully, fully aware, however, of their surroundings, should something
happen otherwise.
"Stupid moon. Last time you said youd be here, you didnt come. Kami...please be alright."
Inuyasha mumbled again, closing his eyes against the pale moon, snarling as it gazed at him
mockingly. Letting the darkness behind his eyelids fill with memories of the day she left, he slowly
drifted off to sleep, letting the cool night air whip his long silver hair around playfully.
Inuyasha found himself wandering the castle grounds, heading off towards the eastern forest where
a girl in a billowing white dress was heading ever-farther away from him.
"Kagome!" He said finally catching up with her.
"Why...where...where are you going?" He asked, worried about the answer. The raven-haired girl
looked at him with crystal blue eyes.
"Mother...she says i have to go away. She said theres a carriage just across these woods. But im
hesitant to go in. I dont want to leave!" she said, her already red eyes filling up with more tears. He
lowered her head, letting her hair fall infront of her eyes, blocking out all the pain in her eyes.
"Then dont. Why not just run? We'll both go! Somewhere where no-one can find us!" He said
taking her hand. She looked up with tears streaking her face.
"I...I cant. Mother...she has people everywhere. Theyd find me. And most likely kill me. Or you.
And i couldnt bare seeing you dead. I just...couldnt.. No. Its best to do what she orders, what
with my father gone and all." Kagome said sadly, squeezing the Hanyous hand tightly making his
knuckles whiten.
"Then let me walk with you..." He said beginning to walk ahead of her. She followed behind
slowly. As they came to a small clearing in the forest, they saw the jet black carriage waiting for
her, a footman opening the door with a low bow. She turned and looked into his golden eyes.
"Lets make a promise.ok?" she said trying to get past all the pain forcing out of her voice.
"What kind of promise?" he said crossing his arms over his blue overcoat, resting a hand on the hilt
of his sword. The princess looked up into the clear night sky and focused her attention on the
moon.
"Um. I...i... I promise, that...one day. I dont know when...but one day on a full moon, when the
sky is clear, like tonight, Ill be waiting here for you. Then, we can run. If... if you still..still..." she
broke off, not wanting to finish what she began.
" Then ill be waiting here for you. I promise. Every clear nighted full moon. And we'll run. We'll run
until we meet the horizon...because who knows whats after that." Inuyasha said stroking her
cheek, wiping her tears.
"But...what if things change." she said looking down at the ground.
" Nothing will. No power in the world can stop me from loving you...the only thing that would have
the power to change this is weather you change...Kagome." He said lifting her chin up. The
Princess nodded and began to turn slowly, but was stopped by Inuyasha, he pulled her back and
kissed her softly, not wanting to let go. Interupped by the persistant cough of the footman. She
sighed and made her way for the carriage. Waving as the snow white horses began to pull the
temporary jail cell down a narrow dirt road.
Inuyasha woke with a start as a wolf howled somewhere in the forest. He hastily felt his jacket
pocket for the small peice of parchment folded up and stuffed in the crevace of the pocket. He
folded the letter open and read through it again. Making sure he read it correctly.
"Inuyasha,
I've been trying time and time again to get out. I'll be surprised if this letter reaches you.
The bird was sick. Im not sure how far it will get. However, if you are not Inuyasha Hitoshi
who is reading this, please do everything in your power to get it to him. If you
are...Oh...Inuyasha...I miss you more than you can imagine. The Summer is drawing near
again and im hoping the nightguard here, some wolf demon named Kouga, will help me out
of here. Though persistant to get me to like him as he is, hes not a bad person and is willing
to help me. Getting to you will take a while. But Im going to go to our clearing to meet you.
Weather you choose to come get me is up to you. Im willing to run anywhere, so long as
your running with me. Dont send a letter back... you dont know where im at...so that would
be rather impossible. Just. Look for me every full moon, clear nights. I might just be
waiting for you. If you hear a wolf cry. Take it as a good thing. Kouga has connections. I
hope to see you soon.
-Love,
Kagome.
"A wolf...cry..." he said, his silver ears perking up to another hollow cry from a wolf somewhere in
the eastern forest.
"wolves...arent here until winter...Kagome..." he said hopping up off the ground and sprinting into
the forest. Running into the small clearing with the overgrown dirt road, a small silver wolf stood on
the rock that sat at an angle at the edge of the clearing. Inuyashas eyes widened as the wolf began
to speak.
"i was hoping youd come. Every other full moon i howled at, you never showed. But thats beside
the point. I have word from Kougas right-hand wolf that he just succedded in Princess Kagomes
escape. She will be here at the next clear skied full moon. That is all" the silver wolf stated like a
recorded message. Inuyasha looked at him wildly as the young dog sprinted off down the tattered
dirt road, dissapearing into the dismal blackness of the forest ahead. He stood in the small clearing
for quite some time before snapping out of his daze and heading back to the castle so not to get
into any more trouble with Queen Kikyou.
He began to pace back and forth again, contemplating all that was just said and returned his gaze
to the ever-smiling moon which seemed to mock him terribly.
"some help you are" he said up to the moon, who only seemed to smile wider.
"Damn moon. You mock me more than once. I think you take it too far sometimes. Is it so hard to
allow me to see her?" he complained, not realizing that his shift was over and Miroku, the Morning
guard had come apon him.
"Talking to yourself, are we Inuyasha...youd think a Knight would have a bit more dignity than
that. Now, come on...up up..the next Full Moon isnt for a while now. So stop fretting." He said
extending his arm for Inuyashas assistance. He accepted the offer and brushed the dirt off his navy
pants.
"Miroku. Im beginning to think she'll never come." he said somberly, staring once again at the
persistant waning moon.
"Who? The moon? Or your Princess Kagome?" Miroku inquired, crossing his arms with a slight
grin playing across his lips.
"Both Miroku...both. See you later." he said heading off the the Guards quarters in the southern
end of the castle. As he lay down that morning, the heartless sounds of wolves crying echoed in his
head, making his sleep a restless one. His head swirling with Images of his beloved Princess,
smiling at him softly, like always. But the smile soon faded and a frown was plastered on her face,
tears reddining her eyes and streaking her face.
His ears perked up to the sound of crunching leaves and breaking twigs. Somebody was walking
towards the castle. Their scent masked by odors of pine and dirt. He stepped outside and saw the
Princess walking towards the forest.
"Kagome?" He said racing after her.
"Kagome! Im here! " He called, her figure growing dimmer as she ascended the wooded forest.
He pushed past twigs and branches that tried to hold him back and stopped where he saw an
angelic figure of Kagome standing on the rock and staring up at the moon. The cruel moon that
kept them apart for so long, was now softly illuminating the clearing, making a heavenly glow form
around his Princess. She turned to face him with a worry stricken face.
"Why didnt you come sooner?" she asked, the light fading around her, her delicate featured
become bleak and grey.
"Ive...waited...for ages." She said, tears rolling down her face. Her tattered gown growing dark
and stony.
Inuyasha watched in horror as the crying girl crossed her arms sadly and transformed from a living
breathing person to a sad and dismal statue. The streaks from her tears staining her cold face, the
emotion frozen.
"Ka...Ka..Kagome? Kagome!" He said dropping to his knees as the lifelike statue shattered into a
million irriprable peices. He clutched the dirt and weeped as he began to hopelessly put the peices
back together, watching them fall apart again and again. Everything he loved had shattered before
him and nothing he could do would bring her back. Falling to the ground once more, he closed his
eyes and breathed slowly.
"Make it better. make it go away. fix it. there has to be..be something. Kagomes not gone. ive
looked time after time. she was never there. Kagome... your alive...please..moon, stop lying to
me..deceiving me like you do. Cant you be helpful for once!" he screamed, rocking back and
forth.
" i hate you. youve never done anything but cause pain." he mumbled as the sounds of footsteps
took up again.
"Inuyasha? Is that you?" a small weak voice asked from the dark dirt path.
"Kagome?" he stared into the bleak road and stood up as the small figure of the long since
forgotten princess came into veiw.
"Kagome..your..your here." he said looking down at the ground where the shattered peices of the
statue once were. Nothing laid there now except for the tall summer grasses and the imprint of
Inuyashas slender body.
" I told you id come. All you need to do is wake up. Wake up Inuyasha...wake up!"
Inuyasha jolted upright. The sun was coming up over the horizon and Miroku was standing over
him, blocking out the sunlight.
"Some guard you are. Naraku himself could have walked past you and you would have never
noticed." He said with a sheepish grin on his face.
"now come on, your shifts over. Go get some sleep. Your as pale as death. Your not coming
down with something are you?" He said helping the distraugt hanyou up off the ground. He nodded
and walked to the Guards quarters slowly.
"I should have known it was a dream, talking wolves, shattering statues of Kagome. Its
that damn moon. The next full one is drawing near. I always get skiddish around this time."
He thought shaking the nightmare off and sitting down on his bed. He pulled the last letter he got
from Kagome out of his desk and re-read it for the fifty-th time.
"My Inuyasha,
countless days have past and every day i pray the night guard Kouga has come up with a
plan to get me out of the torture chamber. Being locked up for possessing Miko powers. Its
absurd. I think about you constantly and can only hope our clear skied full mooned night
will come sooner than expected. Who knows, maybe by the time you get this, ill be on my
way to find you! I pray nothing has changed in the line of us. Id run to the ends of the earth,
as long as your running beside me with that grin on your face thats always there when we're
together. I must go. The guards are shifting soon and i have to give this to Kouga so he can
send it to you.
Know that i love you and cant forget you.
-all my heart
-Kagome.
The moon shone brighter than ever, making the stars seem more numerous than ever before. A
crystal clear sky with a flawlessly perfect moon. No longer smiling down apathetically at Inuyasha,
it beckoned him once again to the forest clearing where he would wait tirelessly for Kagome. He
switched shifts with Miroku and made his way to the forest once again. Waiting in the same place
time after time. Only this time, the clearing wasnt empty when he entered. A petit woman in a slim
cornflower blue dress stood with her back facing Inuyasha. Her raven black hair fell gently across
her shoulders, longer than Inuyasha had rememebered. Doubts flew through his mind that this was
a dream, but the air was filled with her scent and the soft humming of the song he taught her filled
the silent night air.
"Kagome?" He said walking into the light. The girl spun around quickly and smiled widely as she
gazed at her Knight.
"Inuyasha!" She screamed rushing towards him, wrapping her arms around his neck. Tears of joy
fell down her cheeks, making small wet spots on Inuyashas black shirt. He wrapped one arm
around her waist and the others fingers ran through her silken hair.
"Kagome..." He whispered, gazing into her crystal blue eyes. He lowered his head and placed his
lips gently on hers, feeling her return the kiss passionatly. He broke the kiss and spun her around,
Gazing into her eyes and admiring her features, that though had a bit more age on them, were still
as beautiful as the day she had left for that godforasken prison... They linked hands and silently
began to walk down the old dirt road. Not caring where they were heading. Now caring how they
were getting there or how they would survive. But none of it mattered. They were together and
they were running. Just like they had promised 10 years ago.
