Dream Keeper

Disclaimer: Don't Own Inuyasha

Chapter Nine (PT 1)


He froze as well for a moment, as if trying to process that was just muttered and then sharply glared at Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru dangerously asked, "What did you just say?"

"Nothing." Inuyasha said, trying to cover up his mistake.

"You said verbatim: Yeah, especially with Kagome being back and all. What did you mean by this and you will answer me truthfully." Sesshoumaru dangerously demanded; his eye look like cold fury, but behind them was a glimmer of hope. "And Kagura, leave us! Wait in the car."

Kagura was about to flip her shit and cause a scene like she normally would so, but when she saw his expression she nervously followed his order; whatever what was going to happen she didn't want to be there. "he hates me as it is and likewise. Fuck; I hate that he is the only one that can intimidate me on a rare occasion."

Sango looked beyond pissed, Miroku looked relieved. While the others had an expression between the two. Inuyasha looked around the room for assistance; Miroku was the only one brave enough to offer it.

He softly and slowly said, "She woke up from her coma." He paused to gauge his reaction; but like usual he was unreadable.

"How long ago?" Sesshoumaru expressionlessly asked

"…Months ago." He hesitantly answered, "She went to Italy to live with her family."

Sesshoumaru absorbed all of this and for several seconds he was silent and then he finally snapped, "AND NOBODY THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A FUCKING GOOD IDEA TO TELL ME!"

Sesshoumaru was fuming, taking deep breaths trying to control his anger. One hand rested on his lap while the other supported his forehead. It seemed like an eternity before he met everyone eyes. His were glossed over- only Kagome could ever evoke these emotions. He slowly rose and left without saying a word; too angry, confused and hopeful to form words.

He walked out of the door and slammed it shut once he was on the other side. "Well that went better than I thought it would." Inuyasha said.


He didn't bother going back to the car; he couldn't deal with Kagura right now. He just kept walking; trying to absorb and decide what to do with this new found information; but all he ended up doing was confusing himself even more and only gained more unanswered questions.

How was Kagome? Why didn't Kagome contact him? Did she still love him? Has she moved on? Why didn't the other tell him? Why didn't she want him to know? Should he still get married to Kagura? Will they get back together? Was she still the same Kagome?

The confusion was infuriating; he needed to see her, touch her, talk to her. He needed to make sure that she was real and not some dream he created.

As frustrating as it was he came to know that three things were certain: A: Kagome was awake. B: She was coming to town next week. C: He loved her.

"I love her."

With that he backtracked and made his way back to his car; he didn't have to worry about Kagura leaving without him because he smartly didn't leave his keys anywhere near Kagura and he was sure that she was too dimwitted to hot wire it.

When he smoothly slide back into the car he was surprised to find out that Kagura didn't throw and tantrum as he expected. She just sat there scowling.

Their drive back was silent; he had a lot to figure out.


Kagome was looking forward to seeing all of her friends; she was glad she finally made the gesture to call them, she missed them greatly. Only a couple of more days!

She wondered if seeing them would bring back memories of him, but she decided that she couldn't let him hinder her life and relationships. She had no reason to be sad she kept telling herself, "I have a loving family, friends, nine lives: well, eight now…seven if you include the golf cart incident…six if you include the Kouga incident…oh well six is plenty more than what your average person gets and I have a great new guy I am seeing- I am very lucky."

"Yes I am very lucky." Kagome said to herself as she rummaged through her room, "Now what to pack?"


AN: Okay, so this is a very short chapter. It is the 1st part of the ninth chapter. I am having trouble writing the rest but I figured you all could enjoy this much as I try to write the rest. Thanks for reading.
