Hello Minna :D…. I have just realized how much chapter 3 sucks and
plus it gave me a huge writers block so I decided to redo the whole
chapter.
Dreaming Forever
Chapter 3
Inuyasha stared long and hard at Kagome. The emotions inside were in turmoil. 'How could a woman I barely knew for one day, not even 24 hours cause such emotions inside of him? It was making feel very uncomfortable with these new found emotions yet at the same time he was feeling at ease. A feeling he had not felt for a long time. 'Kagome… such a beautiful name for a beautiful woman. NANI!!!!! Where did that come from?' While Inuyasha was deep in thought, Kagome had managed to make most of her blanket slip to her feet and now she was shivering from the cool breeze coming from the window. 'Stupid wench! Even in her sleep she couldn't look after herself properly. Well I guess I have to be her protector now. Not that you mind, ne, Inuyasha? Said the voice inside him but Inuyasha just brushed it aside.
Getting up from where he was sitting he walked softly towards Kagome. 'Who would have thought the prince of the whole Western Lands, is covering up a peasant woman up' Inuyasha thought as he shook his head while covering her up which creased her shivering. Inuyasha stayed there content with the position he was sitting and the fact that he had the perfect angle in looking at Kagome's peaceful sleeping face might help. The cool breezed blew across her face and her hair blocked Inuyasha's view. Slowly Inuyasha reached his hand out to gently move the intruding strands of hair out of the way. Of course Inuyasha's first intention was to quickly move it and move back to where he was sitting before she woke up but he forgot all when he came in contact with the softness of her face.
His fingers moved slowly caressing her cheek as if it was a sacred thing, untouchable and unreachable. It was just his luck that Kagome chose this moment to wake up. His hand darted back as if he burnt his fingers. In Kagome's still sleepy and unregistered mind, it did not acknowledge that Inuyasha was there and that he was just moments ago caressing her face. She stretched her arms out and proceeded in yawning very loud unknowing to her observer. Inuyasha who by now have scrammed a far distance away from her just incase she remembers what he just did and will sit him, watch with great amusement.
"Oi! I see you're finally awake." Said Inuyasha, breaking Kagome out of her dreamy state of mind.
"Oh! Inuyasha what are you… I mean Inuyasha- sama what are you doing here?"
"It's Inuyasha- sama now is it?" smirked Inuyasha, "You fainted when you found out that I was a prince and I had to carry you here which explain why I am here."
"Gomen nasai! Inuyasha sama I didn't know that you were a prince and as a miko I am suppose to protect the village from youkais. I'm not saying that your parents are bad rules. I know that they have tried to stop youkais from attacking humans but sometimes there are the occasional youkai which disobey and attack. Which would explain the position I have in this village and explains why I attacked you like so. I thought you were attacking our village and going to harm the people inside it …" Kagome continued to blab about nothing in particular as she tries to redeem her fault on the prince.
"Does that mean that you would take the subduing spell off me now?" Inuyasha asked interrupting Kagome in her chain of nonsense, while fingering the necklace around his neck.
"Well I …" was all Kagome got out before she got interrupted.
"KAGOME~~ NECHAN!!!!" screamed Shippo as he flew in the room and in Kagome's arms. Kagome embraced him wholeheartedly, glad that she got interrupted before she replied for she really didn't know whether or not that she would take the subduing spell of him. First of all she is still not sure whether or not his going to attack although he did state out that his here to retrieve Shippo. She didn't like the idea of Shippo leaving but it seems right only to let him go back to where he belongs. Secondly the necklace on his neck did make him look extra hot. 'Hot??! Oh my god where did that come from??' Kagome thought as she fought down her blush. While she was recalling her memory of all the times between Inuyasha and her, she remembered the moment that happened while she was in her dreamy state.
"Ne, Inuyasha what were you doing to me when I was waking up?" Kagome asked arching her eyebrow quizzically.
Inuyasha blushed at the question of what he was doing as she made some feeble attempted answers. Kagome and Shippo watched with amusement. Kagome for one happy that she got Inuyasha to blush and the fact that she got him to forget about the removing spell issue. And Shippo was just finding it funny to see the GREAT and ALMIGHTY Inuyasha blushing and stuttering like a fool.
"Feh! It was nothing wench! You being the weak human that you are were shivering to death when you were stupid enough to kick your entire blanket off. I just pulled it back up nothing else!!" Inuyasha replied as he fought with all his might to stop the blush but failing miserably.
"Awww… that's so sweet Inuyasha, why thank you" Kagome replied sweetly while hugging Shippo.
At that moment Souta came in with lunch. They all sat down and started eating until Inuyasha got very uncomfortable at Souta's constant staring at him all through lunch.
"What! Kid, I would like to eat in peace!" shouted Inuyasha in frustration.
"Are those ears for real?" Souta asked ignoring Inuyasha's shouting.
"Of course it is kid!" Inuyasha said taken back from the question.
"COOL~~" Souta screamed causing Inuyasha to flatten is ears to his head which to Kagome was incredibly adorable.
"Can I touch it?? Please I want to touch it! Please Inuyasha?" Souta begged.
Kagome got up preparing to make Souta to stop it fearing for his safety, seeing that Souta too conveniently forgot that she was badgering the PRINCE! *sigh* 'Guess it runs in the family' Kagome thought when all of a sudden all the commotion stopped at the banging of the doors. At the door were two people. One looked like at monk and the other has the most gigantic boomerang that Kagome has ever seen in her life.
"INUYASHA!!!! You idiot!! How dare you leave us to that… to that WOMAN!!!!" screamed the monk.
"And which woman would that be Miroku? I thought you loved the presence of a woman! And now you're complaining that I left you to a woman??? Shouldn't you be grateful??" Inuyasha replied smirking, knowing full well who the one dressed as a monk called Miroku was referring too.
"That's not funny, Inuyasha! Its cruel not only to Miroku but to me too! I for one do NOT like WOMEN the way you're implying! If you were going to leave why didn't you at least took me with you?? What are best friends for Inuyasha?" scowled the woman with the gigantic boomerang.
"Sango is right Inuyasha! It's downright cruel! You treat ants better then this! Why I'm hurt beyond belief." Miroku said why lowing his head down dramatically, and pretending to start crying. "How could you treat me like this? I thought we were best friends but I guess I was ….oh my! And who is this fair lady here that looks like THAT woman but is obviously more beautiful inside out?" Miroku asked when he was about to give Inuyasha the worst glare he could muster but that was before he laid his eyes on the lady besides him.
"Fair lady, may I have the pleasure of knowing your heavenly name that is suited just for the angel that descended from the heavens itself?" Miroku asked wasting no time to get to her side. Kagome was blushing as red as a tomatoe from the fact that her hand was in his hand and from all the attention she is receiving from a man in a way she has never had. In the background however Sango was fuming at the fact that Miroku has once AGAIN started flirting with ANOTHER woman not that she was jealous of course. And Inuyasha was furious that Miroku was holding Kagome's hand like that before he did but of course being as arrogant as Inuyasha the thought was LIKING Kagome was brushed away which doesn't explain why he was like this to himself but he didn't care. He just was to cut Miroku's hands off right now.
"Ah… my name is Kagome..." Kagome said while blushing furiously.
"Ah Kagome such a beautiful name. Kagome would you please bear my child?" Miroku asked while moving his hand on her bottom. Kagome froze up in shock and horror when he caressed her bottom. However this did not last long, as Inuyasha flung Miroku away from her and Sango proceeded to bash him with her oversized boomerang.
"Touch her again and I will kill you Miroku! You got that friend or not!" Inuyasha yelled annoyed while he hugged the sobbing lightly Kagome to his chest.
"Ah. Gomen nasai I did not realize that she was your lady Inuyasha if I did I wouldn't have asked her at all" Miroku replied rubbing his head from the bashing he received from Sango. At this Inuyasha and Kagome instantly parted away from each other blushing furiously.
"She…. She isn't my lady! But that doesn't mean that you could touch her either Miroku!" Inuyasha glared at Miroku unforgivingly.
"Me and Inuyasha… we have nothing like that between us… Miroku sama?" Kagome retorted.
"Forgive me Kagome sama for not giving you my name before. Inuyasha if she isn't yours then I don't see the problem in making her mine after all she is single and beautiful to boot" Miroku said advancing towards Kagome while Kagome was moving towards Inuyasha in horror.
"Gomen nasai, Kagome- chan. May I call you Kagome-chan? This is Miroku the perverted monk and I'm Sango the demon exterminator for the king. We came here to escape a certain person who lives in the castle. It's a pleasure to meet you" Sango said as she stopped Miroku from advancing forward by threatening him with hiraikotsu her boomerang.
"Hai you can call me Kagome-chan as long as I could call you Sango- chan" Kagome said giving her a huge smile "And this is my little brother Souta and I believe you know Shippo who has been living with me for a while now."
"Oi! Sango what are you doing here anyway?" Inuyasha asked making sure he kept himself between Miroku and Kagome.
"What you ask? You went to retrieve Shippo without us leaving us to that woman who needs serious mental attention by the name of KIKYO!" Sango replied remembering why she was angry with Inuyasha in the first place.
"I must agree with Sango, Inuyasha that was a very unforgivable thing you did to us! Even I who love and appreciate women would run away at her presence. You brother is bad but she his worst and you left us to her mercy! With you around there is at least some restraint on her but now that you were gone we had to run away to get away from that crazy woman." Miroku replied solemnly while remembering what happened.
Flashback
It was a beautiful morning. The birds were singing beautifully and the weather was wonderful. Besides Miroku was Sango discussing the latest assignment the king had given them earlier that morning.
"Ne, Sango who do you think killed Shippo's parents? We have no lead whatsoever and Inuyasha has gone off to who knows where so we just lost our person with the sharpest sense of smell." Miroku asked staring at the parchment given to them by the king.
"I don't know hoshi-sama it's really hard to tell. There was no witness at the scene of the crime and there was no evidence all we know is that a youkai did this. The only person who would know is Shippo but his missing right now and Inuyasha is gone so we can't sniff him out," Sango replied sadly. The king's orders were to find the culprit and have them brought before him. The time limit was two weeks and it has already been 2 days and there is no hint of a clue.
"Miroku-sama, Sango-sama your tea." Said Hojo carrying a tray of snacks and tea.
"Thank you Hojo, just put it down here" replied Miroku while gesturing Hojo to put it on the table.
"Sorry to interrupt Miroku-sama and Sango-sama but I overheard your concern for where Inuyasha-sama. As I recalled Inuyasha-sama has gone to Hanagawa valley to retrieve Shippo-sama." Hojo said sweetly.
"WHAT!!! He went off without us!!" Sango shouted.
"Unforgivable!" Miroku agreed.
"YOU LOW SERVANT! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME WHEN I ASKED YOU!!!" screamed Kikyo. She moved to slap Hojo on the face only to be stopped by Miroku.
"Kikyo-sama since when did you get here?" Miroku asked disturbed at the fact that Kikyo over heard them.
"I just got here and over heard him a few minutes ago. Ne, Miroku-kun you will take me there with you to get Inuyasha back won't you?" Kikyo asked in what she thought was a *seductive* voice but the truth is that it made Miroku to shiver with goose bumps. She leaned more on Miroku knowing the fact that Miroku could never resist beautiful women.
Sango stood there cringing from disgust. Normally she would have bonked Miroku on the head by now but now she was feeling so sorry for the poor guy. Miroku tried his best to get out of Kikyo's grasp and when he failed he gave Sango a pleading look which she just ignored.
"Hojo, thank you for your assistance tell the king that I would be leaving for Hanagawa Valley right now" Sango said as she headed towards the exit of the room. "I guess I would be doing this one alone seeing your too busy hoshi-sama"
"Wait no!! Sango don't leave!! I'm going with you." Miroku said forcefully threw Kikyo off him.
"Miroku I'm coming with you!" Kikyo demanded.
"Of course you are. We will be waiting at that place then" Miroku yelled behind his back catching up to Sango.
Kikyo squealed in delight as she practically rammed Hojo down while running out of the room to pack up. Of course she didn't know that when on a mission those two never packed their things and that they leave only with a lot of money. While Kikyo was packing with bliss at the thought that she would be seeing HER Inuyasha again, Miroku and Sango were far, far away from her. She pranced outside only to realize that she didn't know where THAT place was and she got into a fit and returned back to the castle.
Miroku and Sango traveled the day by boat and arrived to the village in approximately 2 days but unknown to them Kikyo has also left for Hanagawa Valley a day later then they did.
End of flashback
"And that's how we got here. I swear that woman is scary!" Miroku said. Inuyasha how ever finally digested the story was now rolling the floor with laughter much to Miroku's anger.
"HAHA… you … YOU resisted a WOMAN!!! OH MY GOD!! BWAHAHAHA!" Inuyasha managed before laughing his head off.
"It is not funny Inuyasha! It is your fault that we have that woman in the castle so YOU'RE going to be the one to get rid of her! I mean no one likes her so why do you keep her there!" Miroku retorted.
Inuyasha recalled the first time he met Kikyo. He was gravely wounded and Kikyo took care and healed him back to health. At first he did not know what to do to repay her after all she was a miko and she rarely does need to be protected. Over all she has the most neutral face ever and she is cold and hardly shows any emotions. However luck (or was it misfortune) was on his side because once in a life time Kikyo was unable to protect herself and Inuyasha saved her. From then on she started showing all her *happy* emotions to Inuyasha and turn evil to anyone who got close to him. She was also following everywhere he went and her brother noticed which he now uses as a new form of torture for Inuyasha. Worse of all, his dad noticed thinking that it's sweet he requested her to be their personal miko. Inuyasha never had a days rest after that.
"It's not my choice alright! I can't just get rid of her! Father was the one who made her the miko not me!" Inuyasha said annoyed.
"Guys your dragging off the main purpose as to why we are here." Sango said calmly. "Shippo we need to know who killed your parents so that we could avenge them and put their souls at peace. Also we need you to return to the castle with us where we would be able to keep an eye on you."
"Sango-chan, it was the thunder brothers and that's all I know. I don't want to leave Kagome-chan! I'm not going unless Kagome ne-chan is coming with me!" protested Shippo.
"Shippo-chan I sorry but I can't come with you. I have to protect this village. It's my job and plus my brother is here too." Kagome said softly while cuddling Shippo.
"Kagome… sama" Miroku began but changed it at Inuyasha's glare. "As I was saying Kagome-sama it's not as if you leaving and never going to return. You will be able to visit and I do believe that there is already a miko here by the name of Kaede protecting the village. Usually I would encourage you to bring your brother with you but under some circumstance we have right now I wouldn't advise it."
"Kagome as your punishment it treating me in such a way before you are now to act as Shippo's caretaker and I would not have any questions or protest about it. It's an order as the Second Prince of the Western Lands" Inuyasha said see this is the only chance he has in keeping her close to his side.
"But….oh alright…" Kagome said defeated.
Kagome packed all the things she needs that day and said goodbye to everyone in the village. She caught the boat straight to the river next to the castle. On the way Inuyasha was cursing about how he could have forgotten that he could've just taken a boat and save a lot of time.
It was night time and every one asleep according to Kagome. 'So many things have happened in one day. Its not that I don't want to go it's just that I don't like to leave my brother alone. The thought of being with Inuyasha is intriguing. I never had such feelings inside me before…' Kagome thought as she went outside her cabin and stared out to the vast ocean.
"Oi! Wrench what are you doing here? You could get a cold!" came a voice behind her. Kagome turned around and stared at the hunk of a man known as the human form of Inuyasha although at the moment she doesn't know. The rich black hair and violet eyes staring back at her. 'Oh my! He is soooo hot! Of course not as hot as Inuyasha but still! Gosh what am I doing? I'm a miko get these thoughts out of me now Kagome! Wait a minute… that voice…'
"Inuyasha?" Kagome whispered.
"No I'm a fish. Of course I am Inuyasha!" he retorted in the same rough manner although secretly he likes the effects he is having on Kagome.

"HAHA… you … YOU resisted a WOMAN!!! OH MY GOD!! BWAHAHAHA!" Inuyasha managed before laughing his head off.
"It is not funny Inuyasha! It is your fault that we have that woman in the castle so YOU'RE going to be the one to get rid of her! I mean no one likes her so why do you keep her there!" Miroku retorted.
Inuyasha recalled the first time he met Kikyo. He was gravely wounded and Kikyo took care and healed him back to health. At first he did not know what to do to repay her after all she was a miko and she rarely does need to be protected. Over all she has the most neutral face ever and she is cold and hardly shows any emotions. However luck (or was it misfortune) was on his side because once in a life time Kikyo was unable to protect herself and Inuyasha saved her. From then on she started showing all her *happy* emotions to Inuyasha and turn evil to anyone who got close to him. She was also following everywhere he went and her brother noticed which he now uses as a new form of torture for Inuyasha. Worse of all, his dad noticed thinking that it's sweet he requested her to be their personal miko. Inuyasha never had a days rest after that.
"It's not my choice alright! I can't just get rid of her! Father was the one who made her the miko not me!" Inuyasha said annoyed.
"Guys your dragging off the main purpose as to why we are here." Sango said calmly. "Shippo we need to know who killed your parents so that we could avenge them and put their souls at peace. Also we need you to return to the castle with us where we would be able to keep an eye on you."
"Sango-chan, it was the thunder brothers and that's all I know. I don't want to leave Kagome-chan! I'm not going unless Kagome ne-chan is coming with me!" protested Shippo.
"Shippo-chan I sorry but I can't come with you. I have to protect this village. It's my job and plus my brother is here too." Kagome said softly while cuddling Shippo.
"Kagome… sama" Miroku began but changed it at Inuyasha's glare. "As I was saying Kagome-sama it's not as if you leaving and never going to return. You will be able to visit and I do believe that there is already a miko here by the name of Kaede protecting the village. Usually I would encourage you to bring your brother with you but under some circumstance we have right now I wouldn't advise it."
"Kagome as your punishment it treating me in such a way before you are now to act as Shippo's caretaker and I would not have any questions or protest about it. It's an order as the Second Prince of the Western Lands" Inuyasha said see this is the only chance he has in keeping her close to his side.
"But….oh alright…" Kagome said defeated.
Kagome packed all the things she needs that day and said goodbye to everyone in the village. She caught the boat straight to the river next to the castle. On the way Inuyasha was cursing about how he could have forgotten that he could've just taken a boat and save a lot of time.
It was night time and every one asleep according to Kagome. 'So many things have happened in one day. Its not that I don't want to go it's just that I don't like to leave my brother alone. The thought of being with Inuyasha is intriguing. I never had such feelings inside me before…' Kagome thought as she went outside her cabin and stared out to the vast ocean.
"Oi! Wrench what are you doing here? You could get a cold!" came a voice behind her. Kagome turned around and stared at the hunk of a man known as the human form of Inuyasha although at the moment she doesn't know. The rich black hair and violet eyes staring back at her. 'Oh my! He is soooo hot! Of course not as hot as Inuyasha but still! Gosh what am I doing? I'm a miko get these thoughts out of me now Kagome! Wait a minute… that voice…'
"Inuyasha?" Kagome whispered.
"No I'm a fish. Of course I am Inuyasha!" he retorted in the same rough manner although secretly he likes the effects he is having on Kagome.
