A/N: I feel like I'm new at this. Okay this story came to me early one morning (okay one afternoon, I slept in) and I felt a deep connection with it and lately I've missed writing because it fills a void in my life. I get emotions out of my system. So, here it is.
Disclaimer: I do not own Inu and co.
As usual italics is thoughts, and in some cases dreams.
Chapter 1: Dreaming
Kagome passed through the well and saw Miroku.
She looked at him and smiled, but as she approached him, she felt funny.
She gulped and he grabbed her. They kissed for a few seconds before she pulled back...and then blushed.
She smiled whole-heartedly.
Kagome awoke suddenly and panted, trying to catch her breath.
She thought back to her dream and blinked in disbelief.
She was pretty sure that she didn't have feelings for Miroku. But she could be mistaken.
The emotions she had in the dream felt real enough.
"Was that a sign that I like Miroku?"
She fell back onto her bed and then remembered...my birthday is in two days.

When she awoke the next morning, her mother had already packed everything she would need, so she skipped out the door and jumped into the well.
She climbed out of the well and swallowed hard, trying to smile.
There they were, Inuyasha, Sango, Shippo, and Miroku.
Just as tension seemed to rise and the silence became too awkward to be nothing...a shadow moved from within the forest.
The figure stepped out and waved his hand as a wind ripple followed and hit Inuyasha and the gang.
As they all stood back up, they sent Shippo to Kaede's hut to warn her and keep him out of danger.
Kagome backed up a few steps until her back was against the well and she pulled out her bow.
The other three instinctively stepped in front of her and pulled out their weapons.
The figure shot another wind ripple at them and Kagome was pushed into the well.
As she tumbled over the side she shot one arrow at the figure as he shot a wind ripple.
Inuyasha, Sango, and Miroku fell in the well after Kagome, just as the figure decimated.
The purple glow illuminated the well and they all stepped out into Kagome's time.
"I had it under control Kagome! Did you have to shoot that arrow?" Inuyasha fumed.
Everyone had pieced together the arrow thing, but it was still a little shocking.
Sango and Miroku looked around in amazement.
Inuyasha continued yelling and Kagome pointed things out.
"That's a car. These are just modern buildings..." and she continued as Inuyasha finished with "How in the hell did we wind up in your time, Kagome!"
"Your time is very beautiful Kagome."Miroku gulped and they all followed Kagome into her house.
"Mom, this is Miroku and Sango, the ones I have mentioned. Somehow they were brought here when we fell in the well."
Kagome's mom looked at them for a moment before pulling outs pots and pans.
"I guess I need to make more food." she smiled.
Kagome introduced her Grandpa and Souta to Miroku and Sango, and dinner went smoothly.

That night while Kagome and Sango were sleeping in her room, Inuyasha knocked on the window, and Kagome snuck over.
She opened the window. "Inuyasha?"
"Sorry I yelled at you earlier. I guess this is a good thing, we get to stay here for your birthday."
He gave her a peck on the cheek and left.
She stood there in amazement and then wandered back over to her bed for sleep.

The next morning Kagome woke up to the sound of Sango holding back a giggle.
"What?" Kagome backed away.
"He kissed you, and TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY!"
After they both hugged and went crazy, they went downstairs for breakfast.
"Kagome, I have a surprise for you and your friends. For your birthday tonight, you're all going to Restaurant Soigne. (French for fancy restaurant)
"Oh wow, thanks Mom." Kagome hugged her Mom and then Sango and her ran around the house getting dressed up.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The girls were finally ready, and the guys had BEEN ready.
Sango was wearing a medium length, black skirt with a hot pink stripe across it, and a pink top with a little black over coat and her hair was curled.
Kagome was wearing a deep royal blue dress with silver sparkles on it and her hair was in mini-curls in a bun.
The guys were both wearing black pants and Miroku was wearing a purple-ish blue shirt, while Inuyasha was wearing a red one.
As the girls walked down the stairs, the guys' jaws dropped and the swallowed, trying to regain composure.
They both got out a "you look beautiful" as the girls giggled.
The sun began setting and Inuyasha transformed into his human self.
He sighed deeply, worrying about his sappy attitude that was sure to follow.
"Where are my shoes?" Inuyasha panicked.
"Don't worry Inuyasha, I'll get you some shoes." Kagome's mom left to get them.
"Okay well Sango and I will get a cab, as they are called here, and you and Kagome can catch up with us later."
Kagome agreed and they left.
Just as they heard the car pulling away Kagome's mom showed up with the shoes.
She smiled and they finally got to the car.
Inuyasha decided he would drive (what? Yeah he can drive! Get over it!).
They drove about five minutes in silence before Inuyasha got uncomfortable.
"Kagome, about the kiss, I'm sorry, it's just as a human, I have too many emotions to decipher..."
Kagome cut him off. "Inuyasha, don't worry, I didn't take it too seriously." she sighed.
"Kagome, I didn't mean it like that, I meant..."
She cut him off again only this time with "Inuyasha CAR!"
A car swerved into their lane and then Kagome went blank.
She woke up still seat belted in the car but feeling queasy.
She saw Inuyasha next to her, unconscious.
She unbuckled her seat belt and opened the door.
As she climbed out and around to the other side of the car, which was completely smashed, she collapsed, her stomach started hurting worse.
She crawled to Inuyasha's door and opened it.
She finally got around to the buckle and the moment she heard it click, his body fell on her, his face right over her heart.
Inuyasha woke up and jumped back a little, nervous.
"Kagome, I'm sorry about that I didn't..." he blushed and stared into her eyes, their faces were inches apart.
He gulped and stood up, helping her up as well.
"Inuyasha, the person in the other car."
When she spotted the car she ran over to see if the man was okay, considering the car was on fire.
She pulled on the car door but it burned her hand.
Inuyasha finally ran over and ripped his sleeve off to wrap around his hand.
As Inuyasha pulled the man out of the car Kagome wandered back towards their car, collapsing as she walked.
Inuyasha laid the man down away from his car and walked back over towards Kagome.
She was on the phone, she had dialed 911 apparently. She got off the phone with a relieved sigh.
They sat next to each other listening to the radio, until Kagome got up and started dancing.
Inuyasha stood up and she pulled him close, just holding on tight.
They didn't really dance, just a long hug of deep breathing.
Finally the song ended and when Inuyasha pulled away, Kagome fell to her knees.
Blood dripped down from her stomach and Inuyasha picked her up, rocking her.
He felt his eyes watering and just continued thinking I won't lose her, too many experiences like this.
He looked at her pale skin, and her stomach which was now completely crimson from the blood.
He leaned down and kissed her, and she kissed him back, crying.
The minute I'm dying he gets the nerve to kiss me, heh.
Inuyasha leaned back up, and the moment he did, she closed her eyes.
Then...he heard the sirens.
A/N: Chapter 1 is complete. What do you think?
Okay well I would like to explain something, I know people have said this is a lot to happen in such a short chapter, but the battle needed to happen.
I have read stories where they MYSTERIOUSLY appear in Kagome's time and that just didn't work for me.
The battle is irrelevant, I needed them in the modern era, and if this villain character was serious, I would have given a name.
And also, I don't think it's so much, the car accident is the main part, the rest is background and style. Would you rather I opened with the accident?
A car swerved into their lane and their car flipped, landing on the side of the road as they both faded into unconsciousness.
Hmm maybe next time.
Also, the dream is no big deal, just a beginning of sorts.
That's all. REVIEW!
