Summary Kaille Howard wakes up to find Inuyasha in her apartment
They hovered over her like nursemaids At the same time they were angry. The girl had reached the bottom. Drunk and out of control. Facing the end of her college career if something was not done immediately
Not that they could do anything. They were her former incarnations. The ones who had gone before. It was Kaile Howard's turn and they were not allowed to interfere or take control of her life.
Unfortunately she was not doing well. Kicked of her home,on probation at school and fired from her job. she tired to drown her sorrows . Despite being underage she was able to obtain alcohol. She became drunk after only two beers
Her exit from the bar was inauspicious She passed out in the middle of a drunken tantrum The her prior incarnations decided to let her sleep it off. But that was not what the spirits were talking about tonight.
Tonight the subject was Inuyasha. The persons who knew him were having a discussion. It was hard for them to be this close to him after all of these years. They might be dead but thye still remembered when they loved Inuyasha and Inuyasha loved them
It hurt to be this close and not be able to reach out to Inuyasha or even call his name. They know that when Kaille woke up they would sink back into to a place where Kaille would not even be aware of their presence
Even if she did she would probably think that she was crazy. Voices in her head. Not even the spirits knew everyone tha made up her soul. Those who know Inuyasha could no longer control themselves They had to make Kaille reach out to Inuyasha
There was a debate going on in Kaille's soul as to the best way to approach Inuyasha. The older miko wanted to use more subtle methods to control the hanyou. The younger miko wanted Kaille to reach out to Inuyasha and become his friend.'
Kikyou and Kagome began to squabble. The fight became violent. finally Rin could take it no longer and ordered them to stop. The two mikos looked stunned. All this time they had not realized that Rin was there.
"Rin are you a reincarnation of Kikyou?" asked Kagome
Rin smiled " I never knew it during my life While alive I thought only of Lord Sesshoumaru. Now that I am reunited with you, I realize out souls purpose. I agree that we cannot let Kaille let Inuyasha walk out of her life. She needs him desperately right now. "
Kikyou nodded " I think we can depend on Inuyasha. He has already realized that Kaille is our reincarnation. Although he is 700 years old, he is still not sure how to help Kaille. He came to America to forget us, but now we are right in front of him again. "
Kagome smiled " He is cute isn't he? It almost makes you want to go tweak his ears Somehow we must wake kaille up and make her do exactly that. If I know my Inuyasha, he will respond and understand that the women he loved are still here"
Rin was pleased It nice to see these two working together after 500 years. It would make Kaille's soul more peaceful if they cooperated. Rin has a secret agenda of her own. If Kaille started doing things with Inuyasha. there was a chance they might run into .
Kaille dreamed She dreamed of a girl falling down a well and meeting a boy with an arrow through his chest She dreamed of a woman burning and carrying her doom into the next life She dreamed of a little splashing water over the face of a fallen demon lord
But the voices the voices They would not give her peace. Even in her dreams they spoke, The noise level was such that she could not sleep. She could not study. Only when she drank did the voices go away. And so she did.
While she was asleep the voices pursued her. Only by waking could she control them. Not silence them just control them.
Her dream ended and it was just Kaille alone in the dark. A frightened little girl whose parents friends and school rejected did not want to face the world with no job and no family but the alternative of facing the voices in her head was so much worse. Waking was surfacing. Just aim toward the light and remember to breathe when you surface. Kaille woke up gasping for breath
The room was pitch black. She was in her bedroom in her apartment fully dressed other than her shoes She did not remember coming Her last vague memory was of someone lifing her off the ground as she demanded that she be served after last call.
Blackouts were not uncommon to her. She usually was not able to get home by she was obviously alive, she might as well get up even though she had no money and nowhere to go. She headed toward the bathroom, Maybe her attitude would change if she smelled better. Stripping out of the clothes that she had worn for the best week., she turned on the shower. Time to face the world again even if it meant confronting her failure.
The shower woke her up. Clean clothes made her a new woman now coffee to complete the wake up Brewing a cup, she sighed. Her pantry was was bare. Her parents had told her that last night was her last meal. She spent her last dollar on beer What was she going to do?
Heading to the chair she sat down to think. Thinking in the dark was what she did best. A creature of the night. No wonder she had trouble in school. Classes ended just when she began to come to life. Some of her high school classmates called her a vampire Maybe they were right.
She stared at the couch. What on earth. There was a man lying on the couch. Suddenly she felt fear. She remembered the bouncer who threw her out of the bar. Was that him? Had her taken her home? Why was he still here.? What had he done to her while she was unconscious.?
She should just call the police, but the voices in her head were becoming louder and more insistent. The only way to silence them was to wake up the sleeping man on the couch. She rose and staggered across the room.
Leaning down she stared at the face of the man sleeping on her couch. Not terribly he had black hair and oriental features. it was then that she saw them. Dumpling shaped ears on top of his head. So cute that she simply had to reach out and tweak them.
When she did, his eyes opened She realized that he had golden eyes. His hair was white not black He was no longer Japanese but something out of a horror movie Reaching out his hand he revealed razor sharp claws where his fingernails had been.
"What is it with you and the ears?" He asked revealing a mouth full of fangs.
Somewhere in her mind a cheer went up. Kaille angerily told them to shut the hell up
