Chapter 1

The Day before the True Journey Revealed…

            Inuyasha and the group had set up camp for the night, after a long day of running around in the woods. They were all very tired and needed to rest before the long journey home the next morning.

They had just finished dinner, everyone was getting ready for bed, Inuyasha was in a tree as usual, Sango slept by the bushes watching for the lecherous monk. Even though Miroku still thinks that he has done nothing wrong he slept against a tree for the night, and away from the pounding fists of Sango.

Kagome had rolled out her sleeping bag close under the tree Inuyasha was sleeping in, Kagome looked for Inuyasha for a second before she went to bed, she found him on the strongest of the highest branches of the tree he was in. She sighed and went to bed.

~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~LATER THAT NIGHT~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~

Inuyasha was having a dream and found him self awaken and sweating from the nightmare he just had. "O, my god!" "When will this dream ever end?"

He asked himself quietly.    

~*~DREAM~*~

It was fogy, very fogy. Then an image came into view. It was a little girl, screaming for help. "Help me, help me! Please will someone help me?!"

"Brother where are you?!"

She ran into the forest with a gang of village children running after her, with rocks and sticks... A scream was heard they were beating her, but then

something ran past all of them and took the girl and ran. The angry mob started to run after them. The clouded figure, ran till he could not run any more...

He took the girl off his back and stood in front of her, to guard and protect her. As Inuyasha focused in on the boy, he noticed the boy was him. But the girl,

the girl puzzled him. He could not figure it out who was she? Just then the angry mob came after them once more, the boy stood there fighting ready, to protect his loved one. The people came and attacked the boy. He fought back and got the girl out of the situation. Then it was a blur once more as the dream faded again...

~*~ END OF DREAM~*~

He stayed awake for a while too look at this situation he was facing, he was so confused.

"Who is that girl? What does this dream mean?" His head was hurting, and he was tired also. But something rustled on the forest floor, he look at the group to make shore they were all ok. Inuyasha could not sleep so decided to get down and go on a walk for a few minutes.

            Kagome, mean while, had awakened because of the noise caused by Inuyasha. She slowly opened her eyes, she saw a figure walking away from the group, she got up to look who it was, she saw the red coat and immediately knew who it was. She went to follow him; making shore she could not be seen.

            Inuyasha walked just by the river were they camped and sat down on a rock, he noticed someone following him, he noticed the smell, it was Kagome. "Well, what are you waiting for, an invitation?" Inuyasha said gruffly, not meaning to sound to mean, but stern. Kagome looked surprised from the tree she was hiding behind. "So, you found me, Heh?" Kagome said hesitantly while sitting on the rock that Inuyasha was sitting down by a river. "Yep, I can smell you from a mile away." He said proudly as he looked at her beautiful face and pale skin.

{Wow, she's beautiful… I wonder what she would do if I- WHAT AM I THINKING??} Inuyasha yelled to himself mentally as he flushed a deep shade of red go over his face.

"Really? Well that doesn't sound very far to me…Whatever…"

"Whatever? What do you mean whatever?! And that is far for you humans so don't give me that 'o that's so close' shit!!"

Kagome looked at him with a sheepish smile.

"Nothing"

"Nothing? What are you talking about?" He said a little ticked off.

"Is there an echo around here?" She said playing around.

"That wasn't funny you know!"

"Whatever"

"Aaaah!!!!!!!! Can you stop with the 'whatever's'?" Inuyasha yelled clawing at is head.

"I...Suppose so; I'm tired and going to bed... Good night Inuyasha!"

"Whatever..."

"Ah ha!!" Kagome yelled aloud with a playful smile across her face.

"Huh?"

"I knew you liked that word!" She was grinning from ear to ear with laughter. Inuyasha pined his ears back with a little anger.

"I hate you!! Now go to bed before you drive me nuts!" he said low enough for her to hear it, but when he looked up she was already gone.

"Why do I have to live with that?"

            With that he got up and went back to camp to sleep the rest of the night away...
