Dreams

...[Prolog...

Five year's have passed for kagome, the battle with narku was won, and Inuyasha went to hell with kikyo. The miroko got his wish, he was married with kids to songo. He had finally told songo that he loved her, and songo had gotten her brother back. Miroko also had the wind tunnel out of his hand. They were all a happy family, all except kagome. But this time held so many sad memories for her. She couldn't live her life in peace for all the painful places that held memories. It never really occurred to her before, until today.

... In the past, in inuyasha's forest...

Kagome glanced down at the pond too the cascading, yet gently falling water of the waterfall. Stray strand's of water droplets fell, as tears would have. It was a very romantic place to be, all most like a fairy tale. If it weren't for the painful memory that seemed to mesmerize this place.

... [Flash Back...

The first time she saw it, Kagome had gotten up late in the middle of the night for a glass of water. She went to grab her watercantin, only to find it empty. Before she could ask Inuyasha were a near by spring was, she saw a flash of red white fly of the tree branch over head. Kagome quietly fallowed Inuyasha into the forest to see were he was going. Kagome traveled along a foot path she had fount in the middle of the forest, the day before. When kagome got close enough to were Inuyasha must have been going; she stopped within a few feet of him. Kagome had learned over the year's and months that Inuyasha as well as kouga could smell her a mile away, so she placed herself upwind, but still at a decent range so she could hear. Kagome couldn't hear what was going on, if any thing at all was even happing. So she got a little closer to him, and to her surprise he was not alone. There in the middle of the clearing was kikyo! "Inuyasha do you not love me?" kikyo asked in a mock tone. "You love that copy more than me, don't you Inuyasha?" Inuyasha looked up with glassy eyes in response to the women he once loved. "Kikyo you were my first love. I gave you my word that to you when narkao is killed, I will go to hell with you." Inuyasha closed the short gape between them, and pulled kikyo into a loving embrace. "Inuyasha I do not need your pity!" Inuyasha glanced down, in some hopes of finding what ever little

remains of love they once shared in her eyes. Then to kagome's heartache Inuyasha kissed kikyo. With tears from the pain in her heart, kagome blindly made her way back to camp. When kagome had gotten to camp, she briskly walked over to her big yellow backpack and pulled out a mini bottle of water. Then she reached in to it's front pocket and pulled out a washcloth. Kagome poured just a dab of water from the bottle to dampen the cloth. After kagome had washed her face of the tears, she placed her things back into her bag and went to sleep. The next morning though; kagome was the first one up, shortly fallowed by her was shipoo, then miroko and songo, and kielala. Kagome quietly got what she had to do done. She packed up the camp and fixed everyone's breakfast. After everyone had done what was expected of them, they gathered around the fire to eat breakfast. Shortly after Kagome started to hand everyone there bowl of food; but when she got to inuyasha's bowl; she slowly walked over to the tree he was in; and instead of calling him down; sat the bowl at the base of the tree and walked back.

INU-"Owe, Kagome what's your problem."

Inuyasha said jumping down from his tree in front of kagome. Kagome just spared him an empty glance and went around him. He then grabbed her arm.

INU-"kagome answer me."

Kagome jerked her arm away from him and went on about her way.

... [END Flash Back...

Kagome stood up and went over to her yellow backpack that has lost some weight over the years; it's not as big as it used to be. She then got her journal out from the backpack's first compartment. Kagome had fount a nice big boulder near the pound to sit on. It was very comfortable as a rock could be, it even had a little nock to sit in. Ever sense Inuyasha had gone to hell with kikyo, kagome would right more feelings in her book than she would ever show or allow her self to feel ever again.

Kagome quietly read from the first page;

They say memories are golden,

Well, maybe that is true.

I never wanted memories,

I only wanted you.

A million times I needed you,

A million times I cried.

If love alone could have saved you

You never would have died.

In life I loved you dearly,

In death I love you still.

In my heart you hold a place

No one could ever fill.

If tears could build a stairway

And heartache makes a lane,

I'd walk the path to heaven

And bring you back again.

Our chain is broken,

And nothing seems the same.

But as kami calls us

One by one

The chain will link again.
