Kagome awoke with a gasp so strong she nearly choked.

She was lying by the fire, were Miroku, Sango, Shippo and kirara were sleeping. She tried to catch her breath.

"I…It….It was a…dream?" Kagome said between gasp for air. Shippo awoke.

"Kagome? What's the matter? You're breathing so hard!"

"I'm...I'm ok. I just…had a dream."

"A pretty bad one by the looks of it." A voice stated, Kagome turned, to see Inuyasha.

She gasped once more "NO! Stay away!" and pushed his chest.

"What the hell is wrong with you?"

Kagome just stared at him. 'I'm shaking…but why? Its just Inuyasha, and that was just a dream.' She thought but she still felt afraid.

"Kagome are you sure you're alright?" Shippo asked.

"I'm…I'm sorry." She said with her face turned to Shippo , though she was talking to Inuyasha.

"You bet you are! And why'd you push me?"

Kagome didn't replay at first. "I said I'm sorry!"

The smell of salt hit his nose, as Kagome started to cry.

"Ka…Kagome? Come on d-don't cry!" Inuyasha said

"STAY AWAY!" and despite her words she jumped into his arms. Inuyasha was startled by the sudden hug and his face turned a bit red.

"Ka….Kagome?"

Shippo stared at the two of them.

"I was so scared!" kagome wept

"What's the matter kagome?" Inuyasha asked and without another word scooped up Kagome (bridal style, hee hee this way is cuter) and began to walk towards the river bank.

"Inuyasha were are you going?" shouted Shippo

"DON'T FOLLOW US!" Inuyasha snapped at him.

Shippo was about to get up but Miroku grabbed his tail and stopped him.

"I believe that Inuyasha is going to try and comfort lady kagome."

"Do you think so?" Shippo asked with his tail still in Mirokus grasp.

"I did not see the expression on lady kagomes face, but if Inuyasha wishes to be alone with her because of it, then I suspect it was nothing positive."

"I hope Kagomes alright."

Miroku sighed "As much as I wish to observe what they might be doing, I believe it would be best to leave them alone."

"Ooooooo" Hippo wined "yea, I suppose so too." Nodded shippo.

"Lets get back to sleep; hopefully we will be informed in the morning." Miroku then dozed off into a slumber, Shippo did shortly after.

…...la de da ………………….meanwhile……

"Where are you taking me Inuyasha?" she said with her hands cradled in her chest.

"Somewhere we can be alone is all." Kagome felt a warm feeling hearing his normal voice again and also because he was carrying her in his arms! Sure she had rode on his back before like a piggy back, but never like this! Plus whenever she was on his back he was always running, this time he was walking with her tiny frame in his arms. One of his hands her underneath her two knees and the other holding her shoulder. She relaxed so it wouldn't be so hard on him, thought to him she wasn't heavy at all, he had lifted things twice her size before.

Soon they stopped at the bank of the river, and Inuyasha put her down. He sat down next to her.

"So what was that all about back there?"

"……." Silence

"Hello! I asked you a question!"

"……." Silence

"KAGOME?" Inuyasha yelled starting to get really mad.

"I JUST HAD DREAM!" Kagome shouted.

"AND WHAT ABOUT!" Inuyasha shouted back.

Kagome stared into her lap 'I can't tell him I had a dream that he killed me! How would he react? He would just think I was stupid and make me more upset! Or...or would he be hurt? Hurt by the fact that I thought of him that way?"

"Its nothing." she said

"You can't a dream a dream about nothing! Tell me what it was really about!"

"Inuyasha?" he was surprised by the sudden soft tone in her voice.

"Yeah?"

"Once we find all the Shikon Shards, do still really want to become a full demon?"

"Yeah, course I do" he stuck his nose in the air "I've said it a million times!'

"Are you sure?" she asked

"Yes!"

"You can't think of anything else! There is nothing else you could possibly do with it!" Kagome shouted once more.

"I'll say it again! I'm going to become a FULL. FLEGDED. DEMON! Ok!"

"And then what!" Kagome continued "What will you do once you're a full demon!"

Inuyasha stopped and just stared at her. He had never really thought about what he'd do once he had finally gotten his wish.

"And…..and…" for some reason it hurt kagome say it, "…..what about me?"

Inuyasha relaxed his stare at her.

"How do you know you'll be the same, will you even recognize me, Sango, Miroku, or Shippo?"

"I…uh…" Inuyasha stared at the ground now, but Kagome still stared at him.

"Kagome……was your dream….about me?"

"Ah!' kagome gasped knowing he had figured it out, considering he usually didn't; he could be so dense at times.

"It…It was." Kagome stared at the ground now too.

"What happened?" He asked in a soft tone.

She didn't want to say but he had already figured it out, and it would be rude to keep a dream about him from him.

"Well the Shikon Jewel was finally complete and you used it to become a full demon." Kagome stopped she didn't want to continue.

"Yeah…and then what?" he asked as he tilted his head to try and catch her eye.

"And…then….then you looked so…SO!" she didn't know how to describe the horrifying look on his face.

"Kagome?" Inuyasha said meaning for her to go on.

"The look on your face Inuyasha….it scared me, and I don't ever want to see you like that!" Kagome cupped her hands in her face.

"And then what?"

"You killed me."
