Two Hearts
Chapter 1

Copyright© 2009 by J. Smith

Kagome sat at her desk in her room, trying to cram all of the stuff for her high school entrance exams into her brain. She had been working on her math now for about two hours and was beginning to feel like she needed a little air. Kagome stretched her arms and stood up.

'I think I'll go down to the tree and sit for a while.' She thought. 'I need to get out of the house for a while anyway.'

Kagome quickly donned a sweater and left her room. The pages of the math book on her desk flipped with a stiff breeze that blew through her window. A chill

passed through her room. Down at the base of the sacred tree, Kagome sat with a sigh. She hadn't been to the feudal era for almost a week now, and she was

beginning to feel lonely. Kagome and Inu Yasha had had another one of their stupid little arguments, which had resulted in Kagome returning home to study.

'Stupid Inu Yasha, ' Kagome thought, 'He is always doing things like this, every time I try to do something nice for him he always screws it up. ' Kagome had once again made a homemade lunch for Inu Yasha and the others and had brought it back with her to the feudal era. Inu Yasha had opened his big

mouth and complained that the fried eggs were too stiff and that the rice was burned. Kagome had been so mad that she had left with out even sitting him.

'I wonder why he hasn't come back for me yet, ' Kagome thought a bit sadly, 'Its been almost a week and I haven't seen him.'

Kagome hung her head and sighed, she wasn't sure how to react. Should she be happy that Inu Yasha had finally gotten the hint to leave her alone for a while, or

should she be mad because he didn't jump down the well to get her back. Or, should she be sad because Inu Yasha hadn't come to get her.

'Well, I doesn't really matter, ' Kagome thought, 'I'm going back tomorrow anyway.'

Kagome sat under the tree for a while longer before returning to the house to get some sleep.

--Back in the Feudal Era--

Inu Yasha was running full tilt. He could see Kikyo in the distance, her back to him. Her soul collectors wove and intricate, almost sensual, dance in the air around her

body. Inu Yasha could also see the orbs of bluish white light that he knew were disconnected souls.

"Kikyo!" He called.

Kikyo turned, but as she did, her features changed. Slowly, she became Kagome. A sweet smile on her face. Inu Yasha slid to a stop.

"Kagome?" His voice seemed to echo in the darkness that surrounded them.

Inu Yasha's eyes narrowed.

"What's going on? What happened to Kikyo?" he asked.

Kagome's face lost her smile. Her stormy blue eyes clouded over in confusion.

"What are you talking about, Inu Yasha? Kikyo has been dead for 50 years. She was never here."

Kagome's voice was soft, yet it seemed to vibrate in Inu Yasha's ears. Gradually, the vibration began to grow in intensity. Inu Yasha soon had to cover his ears.

"Inu Yasha?"

Inu Yasha looked up at Kagome, her face showed her concern. But just as Inu Yasha was about to reassure her, a large shadow, with glowing red eyes, rose up

behind Kagome.

'Youkai!' Inu Yasha's mind screamed.

The shadow Youkai rose it's clawed hand, intent on striking Kagome.

"Kagome!" Inu Yasha cried, "look out!"

Inu Yasha dashed forward, but his body became restrained.

"What the hell?!"

Inu Yasha looked down at his arms and legs. There was a long dark green tentacle wrapped around each of his arms and legs, and one around his waist. Inu Yasha

struggled futilely against his binds.

"Inu Yasha?" Inu Yasha's head jerked up.

Kagome still stood, looking at him with concern in her eyes. Oblivious to the threat that towered behind her.

"Run Kagome!" Inu Yasha almost screamed.

Kagome turned, now facing the shadow Youkai, but her face showed no interest. She turned back to him.

"Inu Yasha?" She asked again.

'What the hell is wrong with her?' Inu Yasha thought desperately, 'She's acting like that Youkai doesn't exist.'

Kagome slowly began walking towards Inu Yasha. She stopped a few feet from him. He eyes still concerned and confused.

"What's wrong Inu Yasha?"

Inu Yasha stared at her dumbfounded. Couldn't she see the Youkai that wanted to attack her, and couldn't she see that he was bound and couldn't help her? Inu Yasha was about to make a smart ass remark, when the shadow Youkai swung its claws strait at Kagome. He knew that she couldn't dodge it in time.

"Kagome!" He screamed, "Get out of the way!"

But Kagome only stood there, completely still. And as the shadow Youkai bore down on Kagome, Inu Yasha shut his eyes.

'I couldn't save her, ' he thought, 'I couldn't do anything to help her.'

Inu Yasha slowly opened his eyes. And to his surprise, Kagome was no where to be seen. It wasn't until Inu Yasha noticed the shadow Youkai looking upward, that

Inu Yasha himself looked to the sky. Inu Yasha saw Kagome, being born away from the shadow Youkai, clutched in the talons of a great silver dragon.

"Kagome!" Inu Yasha cried.

Inu Yasha's eyes snapped open. He sat bolt upright on the branch he had been sleeping on.

'Every night that same damned dream, ' Inu Yasha thought, 'ever since Kagome went back home, it's plagued me.'

He tried several times to find out the meaning of the dream. Even going so far as to discuss it with Miroku, but he said that it was because Inu Yasha was feeling guilty

over what had happened between him and Kagome. But that didn't explain to Inu Yasha why Kagome always started out as Kikyo in the dream. Inu Yasha just

didn't understand. It was possible that the dreams were caused by his guilt, but he didn't think so. Even if that was the case, Inu Yasha was to proud to admit it, even

to himself. He was a hanyo after all. Inu Yasha shook his head violently in an attempt to clear his thoughts. This wouldn't work. Something had to be done, even if that meant risking Kagome's wrath, he

would jump into the well fist thing in the morning. Inu Yasha nodded to himself. He would finally try to get things right with Kagome. It would be hard, he knew, but he was willing to take that chance. He needed to
