A/N: Bonjour everyone! It's me again and I brought you the next chapter of Dangerous to Love. I really hope you guys like it! This week has been pretty stressful for me, and it's not even over yet! On Monday and Tuesday we had the science PSSA's, which were so retarded I might add. Then on Wednesday, my bff Branden got an e-mail from his gf saying that she wanted to take a "break" so now I'm helping him get through it. Then yesterday I had a big wellness test on nutrition and crap like that and I have to memorize part of the periodic table of elements for my science class. Then today I had a huge science test on the elements we have to memorize and we have to do a 100 point project on an element of our choice. Phew! Talk about stressful, I don't even know how I got the time to type all this up. Well, thanks to all my readers and reviewers! Here's chapter 21!

Dangerous to Love, Chapter 21

Last Time

She closed the bench and sat down as she took a deep breath and started playing…

Now - August 11, Mid Afternoon

Kagome got up from her bed and checked the clock. It was 2:48 PM. She sighed and went to her closet. She walked down the pure white passageway, opened the big white door, and entered the huge white oasis yet again.

It's been about two weeks since the girls got their first letter from Miroku and he hasn't written back yet. Kagome and Sango knew he wouldn't write again for another few months, but they couldn't stop themselves from running to check the mail every morning. Things have gotten a little better, not much but every step counts. Kagome still drinks NyQuil, but not as much as she used to since now she knows that Inuyasha thinks of her. Every day for the past two weeks Kagome has been going to her heaven and has played her piano. Even though she always ended up crying, it made her feel closer to Inuyasha, almost like he could hear her.

Kagome walked over to the piano and pulled out new sheet music to play.

"Hm, let's go with this one," She whispered to herself as she set the new music on the stand. "I think he'll like this one."

At the top of the music in bold print read: "Do You?" by Yiruma. Yiruma is Kagome's favorite pianist and she knows how to play almost every one of his songs. Kagome sat downat the piano and gently ran her fingers over the smooth ivory keys. She positioned her fingers over the correct keys, gazed at the sheet music, and started playing. The soft sound of the piano echoed through the room as she played and a small smile tugged at the corners of her mouth. Kagome closed her eyes as her fingers ran over the keys automatically, never missing or hitting a wrong note. She could feel the vibrations from the strings run up her arms from her fingers as they moved gracefully across the ivory. Kagome could picture Inuyasha in her mind, which only made her smile and tear up at the same time. She could see every detail of him, his hair, his skin, his eyes. But the most important and best thing about her hallucinatory Inuyasha was the big smile that graced his face, showing off brilliant white fangs. Once she opened her eyes, even thought she really didn't want to, a few small tears dripped down her cheeks and onto the piano keys she was currently still playing. The gentle song soon drfted to an end as a smile took over Kagome's face.

"How was that?" She asked, not expecting any answer.

"Amazing." A gentle voice whispered in her ear.

Kagome's eyes grew wide as she gasped. She quickly tunred around, but no one was there. Her eyes darted around the room, but everything was exactly the same.

"Must be my imagination again," She said as she took another look around the room. "but they never sounded so real."

Kagome got up and quickly walked out of her heaven and back into her bedroom. The bright August sun peered through her window, lighting her room with it's rays.

"I so have to get outside." She told herself as she walked out of her room, down the hall, and down the stairs.

Before she reached the front door, she turned off into the kitchen and bragged an apple from the refrisgerator.

"Might as well eat something." She said. "Especially since I haven't really eaten in so long."

She took a big bite of her apple as she went out the back door that led to the huge backyard. Kagome stood in the soft jade grass and took a deep breath as she looked into the forest at the back of the yard. A gentle breeze swayed the tall trees and made a haunting whistling sound as it blew through the treetops. Kagome turned to go back inside, but stopped and hesitated. She looked back at the now still forest. She felt the dense trees calling her, reeling her in like a magnet. She took another bite of her apple as she slowly took a step forward.

"I'll just go back there quick," She bargained. "just to get it out of my system."

She threw her apple on the ground as birds quickly swooped down and started picking at it. She started toward the forest, took a deep breath, and walked into the dense trees. Kagome could see the moss and fern covered trail that she and Inuyasha had taken and decided to follow it, just to see if she could find the perfect meadow she once saw. After ten minutes of walking, Kagome thought she was getting lost. Everything about the forest looked the same and the trail was getting less and less visable. Kagome stopped and sat on a large log to keep herself from panicking. She stopped to listen to the sounds that she always heard radiating from the forest, but everything was quiet. She couldn't even hear anything moving, like time had stopped. Kagome suddenly didn't feel alone at all. In fact, she felt like she was being watched. All of a sudden, a twig snapped from behind her. Kagome gasped as she quickly turned around, but nothing was there.

"Okay, this is getting really freaky." She whispered to herself as she tried to control her frantic heartbeat.

Kagome quickly got to her feet and kept following the trail, determined to find the meadow. Another twenty-five minutes passed and still no meadow. Kagome was really getting worried now. A warm breezed washed through the trees and tangled her hair around her face.

"Follow the violets." A barely audible whisper said as the wind blew.

Kagome could hear the voice but it sounded ghostly, like the wind was whispering to her. She thought the voice sounded very familiar, but it was way too quiet to be completely sure. Although it sounded a lot like his voice. As soon as the wind died off, so did the voice.

"Follow the violets?" She repeated as she looked around on the ground for any violets to follow.

Kagome looked around and saw little purple-blue flowers dotting the forest. She glanced around with nervous eyes.

"This is definitely getting freaky." She said as she started in the direction the violets were going.

Kagome did what the "wind" had said and followed the tiny purply-blue blooms until they slowly started dying off, getting fewer and fewer the deeper into the forest she went. She glanced over her shoulder and saw the violets behind her that she had already passed.

"Keep going." That same barely audible voice said.

Kagome's heart hammered against her rib cage as she stood perfectly still, testing it, trying to see if it would get louder so she could recognize it better.

"Keep going." It said again, this time louder and it sounded closer then before.

Kagome swore her heart was going to burst by how fast and hard it was beating. Since the voice was louder now, she could tell who's voice it was. It was him.

"My imagination is really running wild today." Kagome told herself, trying to calm down.

She was about to ask him something, but she quickly pushed it out of her head and kept following the very few violets that were left leading the way. 'He can't really be here…can he? No, that's impossible.'

After following what few violets she had left, Kagome could finally see the light shining from behind the last layer of trees. Kagome's eyes started tearing up as she slowly headed toward the light. Once she stepped through the trees, the bright white light blinded her yet again. As soon as her eyes adjusted, the sheer beauty of the meadow hit her like a Mac truck. The meadow was exactly as she remembered it, which was what hurt the most. The tall grass swayed in the wind with the big white daisies. The bubbling of a stream came from down farther and the bright white sun shone brighter here the anywhere else. Crystal tears streamed down her face as she took it all in. Kagome scanned the meadow and saw a few monarch butterflies floating gracefully from flower to flower. Kagome could feel her knees shaking and threatening to buckle from underneath her and she couldn't stop the tears from coming. Even though the meadow was as beautiful as ever, it felt empty, like something was missing. The meadow didn't seem to have the magic it once had and Kagome knew exactly what was missing from this perfect picture. Kagome's knees buckled and she found herself kneeling in the dry grass. Her breaths started getting short and raspy as sparkling tears fell from the point of her chin onto the ground. She closed her eyes as images from the first meadow trip slowly creeped into her mind.

-Flashback-

"What do ya think?" He asked

Kagome looked up at him and nodded, still trying to get the breath that the beauty of the meadow took away from her.

Inuyasha chuckled softly at her again as he fell backward into the lush white daisies. Kagome giggled as she looked down at him, finally remembering how to breath correctly. Inuyasha opened his golden eyes and looked up at Kagome. She turned and fell backwards into the flowers as well and landed right next to Inuyasha as she closed her eyes and let the sun warm her body. They both laid there for a few minutes in silence just taking everything in. Kagome took a deep breath, breathing in the scent of the daisies, as she leaned up on her elbows and looked over at the hanyou laying next to her.

"So" Kagome started, "How did you find this place?"

Inuyasha laughed softly as he leaned up on his elbows and looked into her sparkling blue eyes.

"I was just taking a walk-well more like a run-when I stumbled across it" Inuyasha replied

Kagome smiled happily as she got up on her knees and sat back down on her feet. She studied Inuyasha's face and her eyes wandered to his clawed hands. She slowly reached over and gently ran her fingertips over his fingers and along the surface of his long, sharp claws. She cocked her head to the side as she picked up his hand and turned it this way and that, making sure his claws were real since they didn't look real at all.

Inuyasha face was slowly turned pink as he breathed in and out trying to keep calm.

"Wow" Kagome breathed as she held his hand in hers and stared at his claws, "They're so long"

Inuyasha stifled a laugh as he watched her investigate his hand. Kagome looked at him and smiled.

"I hope you don't mind" She said with a smile, "But I just can't help myself"

"I don't mind" He replied with a mischievous grin

Kagome rolled her eyes and she could feel the blood rush to her face. Inuyasha sat up cross legged and stared at Kagome as she ran her fingers gently over his skin, barely touching him at all. She finally placed his hand back down on the soft grass as she slowly rose to her feet and smiled down at him. Kagome turned and started walking slowly through the meadow. Once she noticed Inuyasha wasn't following her, she turned around and smiled brightly at him.

"Hey! You coming?" She called over to him as she giggled

Kagome watched as he rose to his feet and then he suddenly disappeared in a blur. A wave of panic swept over her as she blinked a few times and looked all around her.

"Inuyasha?" Kagome whispered, mostly to herself, as she spun in circles still looking for the missing hanyou

"Right here" He whispered in her ear from behind her

A gasp of fright escaped her as she quickly turned around and saw Inuyasha standing in front of her holding a big white daisy. Kagome put one hand to her heart as relief quickly took over. Inuyasha smiled amusedly at her as a quick laugh irrupted from his throat. Kagome narrowed her eyes at him.

"Gee, thanks for the heart attack" Kagome said as she fought to control her rapid heartbeat

"Sorry" He replied as he twirled the daisy between his fingers

Kagome rolled her eyes and smiled. Inuyasha took the daisy and swept it behind her ear along with a stray lock of hair. Kagome blushed scarlet as she looked at the ground and hesitantly looked at him from under her thick black lashes.

"I think we'd better get back" Inuyasha said

Kagome sighed sadly as she took another look around the beautiful meadow that was slowly darkening.

"Promise me something" Kagome said as she looked into his golden eyes

"I already did" he replied with a grin

"Promise me something else too" Kagome said

"Alright" Inuyasha said

"Promise me that we'll come back here soon" She said with a hopeful smile

"Alright, I promise that I'll take you here again soon" Inuyasha replied

Kagome smiled as she giggled and nodded.

-End Flashback-

Kagome slowly opened her eyes, although they were blurry and clouded from the tears. She carefully laid down on her side in the warm, dry grass as her sobs continued. Kagome felt something feather light touch her hand and she realized a big monarch butterfly was perched on it. A slow, ragged smile played with her lips as she stared at the beautiful creature. Her eyes scanned the bright orange and the black spots and splotches that graced its delicate wings that pumped smoothly as it sat on her hand. Suddenly, the butterfly reminded her of Inuyasha, something beautiful and delicate that found her on complete accident. She even noticed that the color of the wings were similar to the color of Inuaysha's eyes, although they were a little too orange instead of the gentle yellow-gold she was used to. Kagome brought her hand closer to her and the butterfly got up and flew away back into the meadow. That reminded her of Inuyasha too, just as she was getting close he got up and left without any warning whatsoever. Her eyes started tearing up again as a warm breeze swayed the tall green grass around her. She wasn't even having any hallucinations anymore, all she could hear was the sound of the wind and her broken sobs. It's like just as she was getting better, she had to go and tear herself apart again. Kagome could see the sky above her changing from a light blue to shades of pink, orange, and red from the corner of her eye.

'It's getting late…' She thought. 'I should get home…'

Kagome tried to move, but her body wouldn't listen. It was just like the time when Inuyasha first left, she lost complete control of her body.

"Not again," She groaned quietly as more tears drizzled down her porcelain skin. "Please…not again."

Kagome's heart started throbbing as it beat inside her and she could feel herself falling apart. She laid in the meadow for what seemed like days, but only turned out to be hours. The gorgeous sunset that she normally enjoyed faded into a deep blue shade and all the monarchs seemed to disappear. The gentle white daisies that seemed so happy and bright in the sunlight, now looked ghostly and lonely in the silver glow of the moon. Kagome tried and tried to get a grip on her sanity, but it always seemed to slip away and another breakdown of tears and memories would start up again. She could hear the crickets singing their song and her eyelids started getting heavy.

"I'll just lay here," She whispered to herself as she yawned. "Maybe he'll come back for me."

Kagome closed her eyes and soon fell into a deep, dreamless sleep…
