Yep hello again!

This is the sequel to " Oyasumi Nasai " and let me tell you it has been hard trying to think of a good way to go with this story, but I'm getting there. I might not be able to update as often however due to my upcomming GCSE mock exams...though not the real thing they are important...

I have decided not to write a sequel to " In my field of paper flowers ". This is simply due to the fact that it was meant to be a thing on its own, and kind of my own interpretation of how the InuYasha series might end. The manga however, is starting to take a very different turn...(really tense turn I might add!)

I would also like to apologise for my INCREDIBLY bad grammar and spelling mistakes I made in my last story, and I will try to improve on that in this one.

Thankyou for all of you who reviewed " Oyasumi Nasai ", but please continue to review it and this one! Thanks.

On we go then...

A/N: You don't HAVE to read my last story to get this one, but I think it would help.

Dreams best forgotten

Kagome awoke in cold sweat, her body shaking in fear.

She'd had that dream again. The same as the night before. The one that scared her senseless, and kept her awake all night long.

Slowly, Kagome sat up, bringing a hand to her forehead and thoroughing her brow. Why did she have to keep having that dream?

The young miko looked around herself. She was finally back in her time, for the first time in months. She'd loved seeing her family again, having the knowledge that they were all safe and well.

Sure, at first, they weren't sure what to believe. The family member they'd believed to be dead had suddenly appeared out of the well house, alive and well, her hand intwined with the half demon's own who had supposedly failed to protect her before. Souta had just stood gobsmacked, staring at the couple, and time had seemingly stood still for all of them. Then, the next thing Kagome knew, a pair of small arms had wrapped themselves tightly around her legs, as if willing himself to believe what he saw.

Kagome had dropped InuYasha's hand and fallen to her knees, wrapping her own arms around her younger brother, her long white sleeves covering his body...

Flashback

" Sis...you...you really are alive, aren't you?..." Souta sobbed into his sister's chest, holding her tightly.

Kagome felt lost for words, all she could do was nod into his head and hold him just as tightly. From above her, InuYasha stood with his arms crossed, smiling.

" Souta? What's going on - ? " Came the call of Kagome's grandfather. He stopped dead in his tracks when he laid his elder eyes on his grandaughter's form. Another figure came out into the shrine grounds, her curiousity peaked at the cries from her son.

Kagome looked up into the warm eyes of perhaps the one she had missed most of all. She released her arms from around Souta's form, and slowly stood to face said person.

" Mama..."

" Ka...Kagome?..."

Kagome came slowly forward, picking up her pace slightly with every step she took. Time froze between mother and daughter, all they could do was stare into one anothers eyes, oblivious to the world around them.

Kagome's mother sunk to her knees.

" Mama! "

Kagome instantly ran to her mother's side, kneeling before her, Kagome's hands on her mama's shoulders. " Ma..Mama...please...don't cry..."

Her mother looked up, placing a hand onto Kagome's cheek, running her thumb over it gently. Without warning, the woman locked her arms around her daughters body, clasping her raven hair in one hand while the other pulled her closer. Tears were puring down both women's cheeks.

" Oh Kagome...my baby..."

End Flashback

They had been ever so happy she was alive and back with them. She'd been smothered in hugs and kisses all day long. And the following day...and the day after...

InuYasha had left once he was sure she'd be okay, allowing Kagome to spend time with her family. Kagome suspected they didn't quite trust him like before, but she knew they just needed time. InuYasha had helped save her in the end, and, in turn, helped regain Kagome's lost memories. They'd be forever thankful for that.

Kagome wanted to return to the fuedal era soon. She knew they no longer had shards to collect but still she hoped she could still visit and spend time with them just like before. InuYasha had told her before he left that she could come back whenever she wanted, a nice change to his usual demandment of a three-day time limit.

Kagome knew her family would be reluctant to let her go again, but she would always come back after a few days, spend time with her family, and then return again.

At least, if her friends back in the fuedal era were still okay with her visiting them. Kagome knew they no longer required her shard seeking abilities, but her adventures 500 years back in the past were to bigger part of her life now for her to just forget. Kagome had people she cared for back there...people she loved...

The last few months hadn't been the easiest, but they definately helped Kagome to realise just how deep her feelings ran for certain people.

For the moment, her fears from the nightmare she had just had were gone. It was just a nightmare, it didn't mean anything. Dreams don't mean anything.

With that, Kagome fell back down into her bed, pulling her comforting bed quilt tightly around her, her tired mind finally drifting into sleep.

Tommorow, she'd return to the fuedal era.

" I wonder how Kagome's doing..." Shippo said outloud from inside Kaede's hut, his eyes wide and alert.

" I'm sure she's doing fine Shippo, her family will be glad to know she's alright, " Sango assured the Kit.

Miroku nodded in agreement, his eyes closed in thought.

" Yes, Lady Kagome will want to spend time with her family, I'm sure she's missed them terribly, "

" But, " Shippo began, " What if she doesn't come back? What if she wants to stay in her own era this time? "

" She'll come back Shippo, just give her some time, " Sango told him. She had full confidence Kagome wouldn't just leave them. Sure they no longer needed to search and kill Naraku, but the whole lot of them had become very close in the time they had spent on their quest, and Kagome wouldn't just forget that.

Miroku once more nodded his head in agreement.

InuYasha was sitting in a high tree, the bone eater's well directly in his sight. InuYasha knew Kagome would be a little while, but she would come back to him soon. It still didn't stop him missing her though. He had never missed her like this before.

InuYasha sighed heavily.

" Kagome, come back soon..."

He silently began to muse to himself a little more over the past month's events. Alot had sure happened...

InuYasha couldn't be happier that Kagome remembered them all again. He was even happier when she confessed to him that she loved him, and he her. He knew, not even interfering mikos or tormenting demons like Naraku could brake the bond her had with Kagome.

Yes, he'd admit, he had never been one who dealt well with feelings, let alone public displays of affection, but it helped a great deal knowing the person you cared for cared for you aswell. This was enough for him at the moment, he was content just knowing that.

They had finally defeated Naraku. Kikyou had been avenged. Miroku's wind tunnel had even dissapeared. Most importantly, things were back to normal, and InuYasha found himself happier than he had been in a very long time.

Nothing could go wrong now.

A figure, cloaked in shadow watched the half demon InuYasha from a distance, its silver eyes peering.

" So...This is the great half demon InuYasha? Son of InuTaisho, brother of Sesshoumaru, and weilder of Tetsusaiga?...How delightful..."

With that, the figure dissapeared into the growing mist, as if never having been there at all.
