Forbidden Dreams

�
It seems sir, that the prototype was successfully destroyed, at least according
to the scans. No traces of it what so ever.� The man with black hair that was
braided down past his waist, shifted nervously, trying to judge if he had just
given good or bad news. Of course he had learned long ago that it was
practically impossible to tell, as Sesshoumaru never gave anything other
than his general impassive expression. The only time he had seemed to ever
change his tone of voice was when he was speaking to his mate.

�
Indeed Bankotsu. I take it our secondary problem has been solved as well?�
Bankotsu flinched and shifted again, raising his left hand to scratch at the
back of his neck sheepishly.

�
Not exactly sir. Jakotsu and I are working on it though; we�re getting closer
to the culprit.� Sesshoumaru glanced slightly over his shoulder at the man, who
stood tall and proud behind him. He didn�t smell of fear, just nervousness.
Loyalty was hard to find now a days, but both he and Bankotsu already knew
who it was, but Bankotsu seemed to be in serious denial.

�
You may leave now.� Bankotsu bowed and turned away from the demon, headed
towards the door. � Bankotsu it would be wise, despite your beliefs, to keep an
eye on all of them. Oh� and get in contact with Kouga. The wolf is
overdue.� Bankotsu�s face twisted up at the mention of the ookami. � Damn
wolf�� Turning to face Sesshoumaru, Bankotsu bowed and strode quickly out
of the office. Charging down the hall, he threw open a door at the far end, and
didn�t bother to close it behind him.

� I
take it our adorable boss wants you to talk to the ookami again huh?� Bankotsu
wrinkled his nose slightly as he glanced at Jakotsu out of the corner of his
eye. How�d Jakotsu always know what he was thinking? It was a little unnerving.
Then again, he was practically brothers with him.

�
Yeah� why he put such a bone headed idiot in charge of�� Bankotsu trailed off
as a third man entered the room, raising a brow at both of the men.

�
What are you two up to?� Jakotsu shifted in his seat slightly and shrugged, picking
up a picture of Inuyasha that happened to find it�s way on his desk and
waved the picture around madly.

�
Drooling over Sesshoumaru�s younger brother. Isn�t he just adorable? Those
ears�� He let out a dreamy sigh and Bankotsu gave off a small smile. � Best
distraction in the world I swear�� Renkotsu grunted and rolled his eyes,
turning towards Bankotsu, handing him the file in his hand.

�
Got nothing on the culprit. Turns out our one lead was a dead end� Sesshoumaru
isn�t going to like that news.� Renkotsu grunted again and crossed his arms
over his chest as Bankotsu scanned over the papers. Rubbing the bridge of his
nose, he gave a slight nod towards Renkotsu.

�
Well, hopefully we�ll get another lead and soon. He�s getting impatient, next
time you can be the one telling him that we�re going nowhere.� Bankotsu
tossed the files back at him and flopped down into a chair across from
Jakotsu�s desk. Scowling, Renkotsu turned and stomped out of the room. Once he
was out of the room, Jakotsu leaned back in his chair, narrowing his eyes
towards the door before glancing across the desk at Bankotsu.

�
Yeah I know Jakotsu� I know.�

�
Just making sure.�

~-*-~

� It�s just a shame you know?� Inuyasha grunted slightly,
rolling on his side in the grass to stare at the girl lying next to him. She
held her hand out towards the sky, tracing random patterns into the stars above
her with a faint smile on her lips. � It�s just not fair, not being able to reach such beauties.�

�
What are you doing here?� Blinking, the girl turned her face from the sky to
look at him as if she didn�t understand the question. A pout formed on her
lips, but the sparkle in her eyes was undeniable. She was happy.

�
What? I�m not allowed to be here and keep you company? You know� you can�t hide
the loneliness in your voice.� Inuyasha snorted sharply and sat up, turning his
face from her with a scowl set on his face. He could feel that she was still
smiling towards him, at the back of his head, her gaze delicate.

�
I�m not lonely you baka. Stop thinking I am.� He heard her shift behind him and
before he knew it, she was sitting up next to him, leaning on his arm, eyes
locked back to the sky.

�
You miss someone don�t you? She wouldn�t happen to be a girl would she?� His only
reply was another snort. She giggled and shook her head, wrapping both of her
tiny hands around his upper arm, leaning into his side even more. � I�m right.
Was she pretty?� Inuyasha was silent for moment, looking up from the grass to
stare up the sky.

�
Yes. Kikyou was more beautiful than the stars. Always was� to me.� When he was
met with silence, he looked down at the girl wrapped around his arm. She was
staring at him with pensive eyes� as if she was trying to look into his soul.
After a moment, she smiled softly at him, giving a light nod.

�
You�re in love with her?� This time Inuyasha was the one who couldn�t do
anything but give a nod. How was it she was able to stare at him like that? As
if he was capable of doing anything she could dream of. It unsettled him, but calmed
him at the same time. She apparently couldn�t hold his gaze anymore. Blushing
ever so slightly in the dark, she raised her eyes back to the sky, laying her
head against his shoulder again.

�
So if you love her� why are you lonely?� The question startled him. He gapped
down at the soft creature that refused to look back into his eyes. � Yes� why am I so lonely, is
it because Kikyou is no longer here? Yes�� Opening his mouth to reply, she
simply shook her head, but still didn�t look up at him.

�Don�t
worry Inuyasha, you won�t always feel so lonely. After all� I�m here with you
now aren�t I?� He couldn�t answer her. He didn�t know how to answer her. No
one, not even Kikyou had ever said such a thing to him. Always the outcast,
feeling left out, not even Kikyou could tell him that he was no longer alone.

� Kagome��

--

Inuyasha shot up out of bed, the sound of thunder echoing
in the back of his mind. Rain pelted the window to his room, keeping the room
especially dark for two in the morning, but his eyes easily adjusted. The room
felt stuffy and far to quiet than it should have been. His computer hummed in
the background, but the sound didn�t comfort him.

�
Kagome�� She was gone� really gone. Falx had tried his hardest, blamed himself
for not spotting the signs sooner. She was an AI, her sprite took on all the
signs of a �virus�, or at least what they assumed a computer could look
like if it caught one. She was connected to the computer after all. The
computer virus attacked viciously, as if it was made for the simple
purpose of causing a computer to crash�it did just that.

And
now Kagome was gone. Falx couldn�t find any trace of her on the computer, and
it seemed the virus was gone too. Why hadn�t he seen it earlier? Kagome was
looking so ill, so pale� he thought she was just hiding something from him.
Instead of trying to find it and protect her, he let it eat her alive. He
couldn�t help but wonder vaguely if it hurt her� right before the computer shut
down entirely.

I
need to get out of here� His guilt was eating him alive, and now she was
haunting his dreams. Somewhere in the back of his mind, his subconscious kept
asking him the same question. � What was she to you?� He still couldn�t
answer it. Sesshoumaru was right� she was a computer program, a thing.
One�s and zero�s programmed to act and react in a certain way towards him.
Nothing done freely, all of it calculated.

The
why did he feel so guilty? Why did he feel like he failed? The sound of
her voice coming across his speakers so weakly, practically begging him to stop
whatever was attacking her�to save her. Growling in the dark, he clenched his
hands into fists, letting his claws rip open his flesh. � What was she to
you?�

�
Shut up.� He snarled and pushed himself off the bed, stomping over to the
window. Sango and Miroku seemed almost shell shocked to see him so� concerned
for something that wasn�t alive. His dresser was the first, and only, thing to
feel his wrath as his mother had stormed upstairs after hearing the splintering
of wood. He refused to say anything to anyone after that. Falx and Miroku were
sent home, and Sango seemed out of sorts herself. He knew she felt guilty too�
if only she hadn�t been so nosy he wouldn�t be in pain.

Was
he in pain? He snorted and looked down at his hands, bloody and cut up from his
claws. Blood dripped from both his claws and wounds that were already starting
to pull together healing. Lightning flashed through the sky, and he could have
sworn it hit the house next to them, the thunder shaking the entire house with
a rattle.

Half-breed�
dirty blood� tainted bloodline. Inuyasha frowned even more. Why was he thinking
like that? His ears twitched slightly before drooping down slightly as his
vision moved from his hands back to his computer, the room lighting up once
again with a flash. The disc wouldn�t load up anymore.

Data corrupted�

Password:

Incorrect
password�

Error�

And
his computer would simply restart. Then again, what would he do even if it did?
� Hi I spoke to the original version of you but you got erased so I was
wondering if you could�� Could what? Help him with his homework? Tease him
about being such a puppy and insult him with calling him stupid and
baka, about how little he knew? � Better off like this� I don�t have to tell
Kikyou. I�ll be ordinary again.�

Don�t
worry Inuyasha, you won�t always feel so lonely. After all� I�m here with you
now aren�t I? But she wasn�t. His mind was creating fantasies about her. His head
and dreams once filled with Kikyou were now filled with the girl who looked
similar, but was completely polar opposite of his love. The way she smiled at
him in his dreams� it was the way he wished Kikyou would smile at him. The way
he wanted her eyes to fill with such happiness just by sitting next to him.

You
miss someone don�t you? It sounded like something she would ask. Question was he couldn�t
figure out just whom he missed more.

�
Kagome� Kikyou.�

~-*-~

�� Is it just me, or is he a lot more cranky
than usual?� Miroku leaned over the edge of his desk so he could whisper
directly into Sango�s ear. It was too risky to just whisper it behind her with
Inuyasha only three desks away, glaring banefully at his math book. Sighing
softly, Sango only nodded, without looking back at Miroku.

�
Think it still has to do with that program on the computer?� Falx muttered
lowly from his desk directly to her left, not moving from his spot to face
either of them. Sango glanced over at him before turning in her chair to better
face both Falx and Miroku.

� I
don�t know honestly. I think he wants to call Kikyou, but every time he picks
up the phone, he starts cursing and hangs it up with such force one of these
days he�s gonna put it through the wall. Yesterday he actually got it to dent
in the wall, Mom had to pull him outside to cool off.� Sango muttered and
leaned an elbow on Miroku�s desk, letting her head fall against her hand.

�
So his temper really is getting worse?� Sango merely nodded again. Miroku
almost pulled a pouting face at her as she turned to straighten herself up in
her own desk. The bell rang and Miroku simply watched as his best friend leapt
up from his seat and nearly knocking several students over as he charged
through the door. Sango waved to Falx as he left the room, waiting for Miroku
to pick his stuff up.

�
What is it?� She blinked as he stared at her with an almost solemn expression.
Shaking his head slightly, he finally stood, rubbing the back of his neck at
the same time.

�
I�m worried about him. Not even your mom can calm him down?� Grunting slightly,
Sango pulled her hands behind her back, kicking out lightly at one of her
desk�s legs.

� I
don�t think he�s sleeping too well. Last two mornings I�ve come out of my room
with him up already. As you can tell, his senses seem a little dulled
too. He should have been able to hear you, but his ears didn�t even twitch.�
Miroku sighed and followed Sango out of the classroom. � What are we going to
do Houshi? At this rate he�s gonna break something other than the phone and
dresser.�

Miroku
flinched and rubbed the back of his neck before reaching down to take Sango�s
hand in his. She blinked and stared at his hand in hers before looking up at
him slowly. He wasn�t looking at her, but there was a slight blush on his face.
Flushing a little herself, she adjusted herself to walk closer next to him,
almost brushing shoulders with him.

�
We�ll do it together right Houshi?� He smiled and finally looked over at her,
giving her a light nod. � Just like we always have.�

~-*-~

�� Again Kagome?� Inuyasha smelled her before
she even approached him from behind. He wasn�t sure how he could recognize her
scent; she never had one to begin with. His mind seemed to supply him with
whatever he needed to complete these dreams� or maybe they were fantasies� he
couldn�t tell anymore. He wanted to talk to her, and he could only do that here now.

�
Always Inuyasha. Stop being so stubborn would you? Just admit you like my
company!� She giggled while planted herself in a swing next to him, letting her
legs push off the ground to move the swing ever so slightly. Inuyasha scowled
in her direction; while she stared out ahead of her, across the hill that
seemed stand over Tokyo. The city lights lit up the night, giving her face a
slight illumination in the full moon.

�
You lied to me. I�m alone.� He couldn�t help it� he winced at the almost
childish tone his voice took. Kagome smiled and tilted her head to look at him,
something in her eyes just looked so� real.

�
Inuyasha I never really left you. I�m here every night so far aren�t I?�
Inuyasha snorted and looked away from her. His ears drooped slightly, and he
shook his head, running his hands through his hair with a sigh.

�
No you�re just a figment of my imagination. You aren�t any more real than you
were inside my computer.� Almost instantly Inuyasha knew what he said was wrong. Not only did he not
believe it, but her soft gasp told him it was the wrong thing to say.
Daring to look at her, something tugged at the pit of his stomach. She had
turned her face further away from him, her bangs hiding her eyes from him. He
didn�t like that� her eyes were always so happy. He didn�t have to see them at
this moment to know that they weren�t. � Kagome I��

�
No you�re right. Absolutely right�� He flinched at her flat tone. � I was never
real and I never will be real.� She slid off her swing, her arms crossed over her
chest, shoulders slumping forward ever so slightly. It reminded him of the
sprite that looked almost sickly. The breeze that had been playing lightly with
her hair suddenly died away. � After all, how can something that isn�t alive
keep the company of someone who�s real�flesh and blood? You�re still
alone, you�re just alone with��

�
I miss you.� He frowned slightly as he cut her rant off. � Did I really just say that?�
Kagome turned towards him slightly before shaking her head. Approaching him
slowly, she kneeled down in front of him, to look up at his eyes. Her eyes held
a sadness in them he couldn�t seem to understand, but they also held
determination.

�
I�ll bring Kikyou back to you. I promise.� She reached up and let her hand rest
on his cheek so softly, as though he himself might disappear if she applied too
much pressure. Inuyasha furrowed his brow as he stared at her. � So very real�� She
smiled slightly at him.

�
No longer will you have forbidden dreams of the one you love. It�s the least I
can do for you� as I cannot do anything of real value for you.� Why did that sound so
wrong coming from her? His imaginary friend was going to bring back his long
lost love? Reaching up he pulled her hand away from his cheek, letting his head
drop to the point where she could no longer see his eyes through his bangs.

� You�re� coming back too right?� Kagome squeezed his hand
gently, before placing a gentle kiss on his knuckles. She never did answer him.
One moment she was there� and the next she was gone, leaving Inuyasha to sit on
his swing, overlooking Tokyo. Leaving him to wonder just how fucking screwed up
his mind was for promising him something he could never have again. No Kagome�
no Kikyou�all alone.

--

� Jaken.� Sesshoumaru interrupted the little green toad
skittering around the lap in such a hurried frenzy; he was actually surprised
that he didn�t break anything. Jumping to attention, Jaken skidded to a halt in
front of the inu youkai, rambling on about something he really wasn�t paying
attention to. Interruption was necessary, for his ears. � Is it done?�

� Yes, yes my lord. It will serve as a temporary
replacement until the real thing can be found� if the real thing even exists.�
Frowning slightly, Jaken seemed to suddenly doubt the truth about the rumors
that had been flying around about Naraku�s company, despite all the live info
constantly pouring in.

� Is it operational yet?� Jaken blinked and looked up at
his lord, before looking at the equipment in the far corner of the room.

� Yes sir. Just recently actually� the best work you�ve
done ever. Looks so real, I doubt anyone without extreme knowledge of the
situation would ever doubt the authenticity. �Tenseiga� is running at a full
100 percent too.� Sesshoumaru approached the experiment, an almost questioning
gaze.

� Do you feel anything?� Sesshoumaru received no answer
from the machine lying on the table. Turning to glare at Jaken, who had been
hiding behind his legs, let out a squeak. Before Jaken could let out an excuse
however, the machine jumped from its place on the table, twitched and
stretched. Sesshoumaru raised a single brow as the machine tried to move.

� Pain.� Smirking ever so slightly, Sesshoumaru turned
once again to Jaken.

� Finish the last requirements as soon as possible. We
have a� �belated� birthday present to give my brother now don�t we?�
