Haunting Of The Mind

Chapter 5 The Dance

Recap

“Ok. Take the bed Sango, I want the couch.” Kagome said with a yawn as she curled up on the couch. Within seconds Kagome was out.

“Alright Kagome......” Sango said as she lay in the bed.

Chapter 5

Sango stared up at the ceiling as she started to think. ‘Kagome is taking this worse then I hoped. She needs to let those feelings out. With how her powers tie into her emotional state she could destroy this whole village at least. She'll drive herself crazy if she continues this.’

At a feeling of weight on her lap Sango looked down to see Kirara had finally returned. Absently she stroked Kirara's fur as her thoughts turned to a different subject. ‘Kirara where did you run off to? .....maybe the smell in the ramen shop was too much? But you've never had a problem with the sent of ramen before. Well then again you've never been around that much of ramen.’ Sango looked down at Kirara as if she could give her an answer. ‘Well enough thinking I should head to bed. Maybe in the morning I can help Kagome blow off some steam.’

Sango picked up Kirara and walked to the window. She quickly closed the window and walked back to the bed. She gave Kagome one last worried glance before setting Kirara down and burrowing into the covers.

Kirara’s Pov

Finally catching up with my mistrrresses scents I jumped into the open window an onto Sango’s lap. She was so deep in herr thoughts she didn’t even notice me until I landed on herr lap. The way she looked at me I could tell she was thinking about Kagome. In my mind I smirrrked. ‘Once my plans arre finished not only will Kagome be in higherrr spirrits but so will Sango. Everrything will worrrk out perrrfect.’

Sango stood up and set me atop the bed. Currling into myself I let my self fall asleep with plans drrrifting in my head.

Norman Pov

The birds chirped a wakeup call as the sun shined onto all. Unfortunately all included through a window onto the face of a sleeping blob on the couch. Groaning Kagome opened up her eyes only to shut them.

“Figures. I’m not even in the same era and still nothing will let me sleep in.” Kagome mumbled to herself as she sat up. Kagome looked down at herself and groaned again ‘Of course I don’t stop an change my clothes.’ Kagome stood up and stretched allowing her back to give a loud ‘pop’. Kagome reached down to her belt and untied the two small bags there. Kagome glared at the bags. “Of course I didn’t make any way to tell what was in what bag,” Kagome grumbled. “What next, flying monkeys?”

Kagome sat on the floor and started to think. ‘Let’s see. We started with the clothes so it would be in a bag near the bottom.’ Setting the bag in her left hand down she concentrated on the one in her right. Soon enough she had the bag restored to its normal size. Opening the bag she dumped the contents onto the floor. Grabbing a bag towards the top of the pile she enlarged it. Opening the bag she almost screamed with joy, ‘Yay something good happening this morning.’ Dumping out the contents of this bag in a separate pile she began to dig through the clothes. Stripping off her clothes she put on a pair of form fitting jeans and a black tank top.

Making sure Sango could get an outfit from the clothes on the floor Kagome picked up the unenlarged bag of bags. Taking a large breath she started looking for a bag of weapons. Somewhere around the fifth bag Kagome found her black ipod. Sticking it in one of her back pockets she continued her search. Finally Kagome found what she was looking for, a large bag of weapons. Pulling out a katana she tied the sheath to her hip and stood up. Placing her boots back on, she left the room. Following her senses she exited the house.

Walking out into a forest Kagome stopped in a clearing. ‘This will be a good place to practice.’ Kagome reached into her back pocket and pulled out her ipod. Scanning the list of play list she stopped on one called ‘Hating’. Changing the name to ‘Hating InuYasha’ she put on her headphones and hit the play button. While she waited for the music to start she unsheathed her katana. It was a silver and black swirled blade with pink and red sakura blossoms near the handle. The handle itself ended with the shape of a crescent moon. Kagome laughed silently as she remembered how she got it. It was a gift from Rin. It was to celebrate the finishing of the hell called training with Sesshoumaru and also a thank you for saving her.

Kagome sat in a clearing crying. She had just seen InuYasha with Kikyo again. Her tears stopped as she heard a scream. Picking up her bow she ran towards the noise. There, pinned to a tree, was Rin, Sesshoumaru’s ward. Pinning her to the tree was a rather ugly looking demon. It looked like a toad demon only taller. It was about a foot taller then Kagome and had brown bumpy skin. Its hair was a very pukey shade of green.

Taking aim Kagome fired off her arrow. The arrow whizzed through the air missing the target. Now that it noticed Kagome it turned after her. Gulping she tried to fire off another arrow but before she could do anything the demon had her by the throat up against a tree. Looking up into its eyes Kagome was frozen with fear. Its gray eyes were shinning with lust. Really starting to panic, Kagome tried to push it away. Smirking the demon leaned closer.

“Tha’s not gonna work.” it whispered in her ear. Suddenly her hands glowed pink and the demon let out a scream as it turned to dust and floated away on the wind.


“That was pathetic miko.” said Sesshoumaru as she stepped into the clearing with Rin hugging his leg.

“You were there the ENTIRE time and didn’t help me!” Kagome screamed at him.

Sesshoumaru looked at her with a look that said ya-and-what-do-you-plan-on-doing-about-it. “This Sesshoumaru shall train you.”

Whatever Kagome was expecting it sure was not that. “What? But why?”

“You saved Rin. As payment I will teach you to protect yourself.”

Kagome was pulled out of her memory when her music started.

Now I will tell you what I've done for you

Kagome started to sing the words to the song

50 thousand tears I've cried

In her mind she started to picture InuYasha

Screaming Deceiving and Bleeding for you

She got into her starting position.

And you still won't hear me(I’m going under)

Swinging her sword she started out slowly, dancing within the clearing. She moved with perfect accuracy, never hitting anything.

Don't want your hand this time I'll save myselfMaybe I'll wake up for onceNot tormented daily defeated by youJust when I thought I'd reached the bottomI'm dying again

Sasuke’s Pov

Walking out of the house I headed into the forest to get in some early morning training. As I headed to my usually clearing I started to hear a voice.

Just when I thought I'd reached the bottomI'm dying again

It sounded truly beautiful. As I walked towards the voice I was shocked. Kagome was dancing in my clearing. No, not dancing. She’s practicing with a sword. She looked so beautiful and exotic.

Normal Pov

I'm going under Drowning in you I'm falling forever I've got to break through I'm going under
Kagome noticed when he stepped into the clearing. She didn’t stop or falter. Truly she didn’t care. She just continued her dance.
Blurring and stirring the truth and the lies So I don't know what's real and what's not Always confusing the thoughts in my head So I can't trust myself anymore

Kagome smirked to herself when she noticed how much Sasuke was staring. ‘Well let’s see if he can keep up with this.’ At these thoughts Kagome sped up. As she moved she went faster and faster until she would appear as just a blur to a normal person.

I'm dying again

I'm going under Drowning in you I'm falling forever I've got to break through I'm going under

Sasuke watched as she sped up. He watched her slowly get faster and faster. He was amazed at the speed she was going. She was still dancing and still never hitting anything.

So go on and scream Scream at me I'm so far away I won't be broken again I've got to breathe I can't keep going under

Kagome noticed his shock. She also noticed that he could still keep up with her movements. Feeling a little playful Kagome started making her dance more exotic.

I'm going under Drowning in you I'm falling forever I've got to break through I'm going under

Kagome finally slowed to a stop. When she was fully stopped she was facing Sasuke with her smirk still in place. Noticing Sasuke’s wide eyes and slack jaw, her smirk grew.

“Like what you see Sasuke?”
