| Hello everyone.^^ I�ve started a new fic again. I�m really, really tired right now though so I�m just going to go straight to the disclaimer. Disclaimer: Rumiko own Inuyasha and company�not me!=�( Precious Illusions Prologue Dear Diary, As each day goes by, I wonder more and more if Inuyasha will ever notice me. Sure, he notices me...but not like he notices Kikyo. I try so hard not to be jealous of her (the two did have a tragic past together). But...((Kagome looks up and catches Inuyasha�s eyes from across the fire. Looking flustered, Kagome bows her head down and begins scribbling madly.)) �See?! He�s giving me that look again! That..that..content look he hardly shows!� �I was thinking it appears more like longing...� Kagome�s head snapped back up and rapidly looked around. There was nobody else around but her and Inuyasha. But that�s what her eyes told her. Her senses were telling her otherwise. �Inuyasha!..� Kagome started to scream but was cut off by the voice. �Wait! You mustn�t tell him about the jewel shard yet!� The tone was sharp and quick, sounding of a young woman. �You long for Inuyasha to yearn for you and love you like he did Kikyo, beyond that even..� Kagome looked as if she were going to protest but the voice cut in again, �You must let me finish. Earliar today, that Inuyasha slew a demon correct? That demon was about to steal my shard of the shikon jewel. If that demon hadn�t stepped in at the perfect moment, you would have sensed me and my fragment out. He distracted you both and I was able to safely get away but I am different from that demon, most demons in fact. I am demon of a different sort, I don�t have a pure heart but I wasn�t bred evil. I am an illusionist. I possess abilities to read minds and communicate telepathically, among other abilities.� By now, Inuyasha had made his way over to Kagome, embracing her and shouting her name as her now-glazed eyes darted about, not listening. The demon continued to explain. �You see, with my help, I could make want you want true...Consider it repaying you for that stroke of luck. Even if that event hadn�t happened and there was this opportunity, I�d do it�I revel in these kinds of situations and yours promises to be very..interesting. So what do you think? I�ll give you some time to think it over and I�ll be back again. I believe tomorrow morning should be enough time. Meet me on the spring�s shore to the east of us with your decision.� �Kagome!� Blinking a few times, the scenery around her came back into focus. �Are you all right? What�s the matter?,� Kagome came to realize Inuyasha�s arm had been supporting her, curling around her back to firmly hold onto her lower shoulder. His other other arm was more of a surprise. Kagome looked down, almost cross eyed at the hand that was grazing her left cheek. �Inuyasha..� Kagome murmured. �Kagome,� Inuyasha�s eyes widened, bringing his face closer to hers. �Are you ok? What happened?� �Now what are you going to tell him?� the voice rang through her head once again. �I..I..� Kagome faltered, searching for an excuse, �It must be this flu that�s been going around in my time.� �Then we should go to Kaede�s immediately.� Inuyasha said insistently, pulling her against his chest, preparing to bound off with her in his arms. �No! Wait, I mean..it�s ok Inuyasha. I came prepared from my own time,� she said, half squirming in his arms as she reached out towards her bag, his arms still holding onto her, refusing to let go. Her fingers finally grazed a small box, clenching onto it she pulled the rattling object out. She held it in front of his to see. �This is the medicine for it. Mom got sent it with me for just in case,� Kagome explained. �..Midol? That�s what it�s called?� �Yep,� Kagome opened the box and tipped a small pill into her hand. Flinching a little, she swallowed it quickly. �Yuck..I hate pills..� �How soon does it work?� Inuyasha looked her over. �A few hours should do it,� Kagome continued to lie through her teeth. �That�s a relief,� Inuyasha said, looking down at her. Kagome blushed slightly. �Why am I blushing? He was just worried...But this is Inuyasha we�re talking about.� �You should get some rest,� Inuyasha said, gently pulling Kagome downwards with him. �Inuyasha..� Kagome proclaimed quietly in surprise. �Shh, Kagome. I�m going to stay by your side all right, I won�t let anything happen to you.� Before Kagome could say anything, Inuyasha had buried his head in her neck. Kagome�s heart and breathing slowed, a feeling of peace and exhaustion taking over her. �What will I tell her tomorrow?...� Kagome took one last look at Inuyasha�s lithe body curled against hers, noted the arms wrapped around her waist, and felt the warmth of his soft breathing against her neck before finally letting her eyelids droop shut. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Well there�s th prologue. I�ll probably need to come back and do some major revising and editing due to the fact that it�s 2:24 am right now. Sorry about that. Gotta go now tho, don�t forget to review! Those are nice to wake up to.^^ Nighty night! Mandypanchan |
