A/N: I wrote this chapter yesterday, but fanfiction.net wouldn't pull up once again. Sorry. You all better enjoy this chapter.The last chapter was longer than the rest, aren't you all proud of me? ^_~ Just a little side note, I suck at spelling so please forgive me for my mistakes.
~~~ Shout-Outs: (skip it if ya want)
kiwi: Thanx
Stormlight: Thanx for the tip. I'm sorry it's distracting. I'll stop putting Author's notes in the middle, but sometimes I just have a moment. Sorry, ^_^
InuYasha-Demon-Girl: I'm glad you like it. Thanks for replying to the Dearest thing. You're right, why spoil the surpise? ^_^ E-mail me any suggestions you got!
Artemis: Thank you for telling me how to spell the Tetsusaiga and Hirukotsai. I'm glad you you like my story too. ^_^
Lemon-Queen-69: * cowers from HUGE boomerang* I'M SORRY!! Please don't hurt me. lol. Thank you for the kazaa link. I was finally able to hear Dearest and download other Inuyasha songs. You're right it does take FOREVER to download something. I've been on the internet since 11:00 and I wanted to download an inuyasha clip, and it's not even half way done and it's been like over 6 hours!!! But I did download Dearest and I think it is pretty. Oh yeah, my friend, Arin, (who appears in a lot of my fanfiction) brought her Cd player to school so she could listen to Ranma 1/2. It started playing in class when her teacher was grading some papers and she keeps it on full blast anyway. She thought it was just the voices in her head so she didn't pay attention til' people started looking her way, so she just kicked her purse til' it went off. That story had nothing to do with anything, I just felt like rambling, so anybody reading this don't flame me for not getting on with the story, you could've skipped the shout- outs and you know it. Thanks for the long review, so I gave you a LONG shout-out! ^_^ arigoutou!
Gracie Rin: I'm glad you like it! ^_^
Willow: amazing!? you think it's amazing!? Cool...*shouts over a microphone* Someone thinks it's amazing!!! This is so cool!! Thanx for the review. I'm glad no one bothered to flame me...yet.
Chris-Redfield26: Yes! I know all! *laughs manically* HAHAHAHAHA...cough, cough Ha Ha haha. *breaks down in a coughing fit* Memo to myself: forget the manical laughter and do the Kodachi Kuno laugh instead. Okay, when I write I drop the shy attitude I have in person for some reason. Like in school, I'm really shy and don't talk all that much unless someone talks to me, but when I write, I laugh manically. O_o Thanx for the great review! ^_^ Just pertend I didn't have a crazy moment there.
Lil Washu: I'm glad you like it!
AWC: It never really says what happened to Kagome's dad. I mean I once read he had cancer, or he was shot, or I think I did read a fic once where he got killed by thugs. One had he was like in Greece or something like that. Some say, that her parents got divorced. It's one or those unsolved mysteries. *Dun, Dun, Dunnn* ^_^

Memories By A Golden Locket: Ch. 4 :The Calming Lulaby
Inuyasha listened intently to the sobbing girl in his arms indulge her problems to him. He listened to her sob on about the darkness and creepy graveyard. She seemed to calm down a bit as she told him of him a curling up next to her father's grave. He just held her closer and stroked her back and rocked gently as she finished talking and started sobbing. He never knew how to calm her down, so he just held her there and started running his claws through her hair.
Kagome didn't know what to do so she continued sobbing, but being this close to Inuyasha made her feel safe and protected. She just wanted to be in his embrace for all eternity. Inuyasha didn't seem to show kindness very well at times, that is, unless he was really worried. He saved everyone countless times, and yet, Kagome seemed to be rescued the most of the group.
'It's because I'm weak.' She thought and then added, 'And nothing can happen to his precious 'shard detector'. Then it'd be harder for him to get the jewel and become a full demon.' Her thoughts started to go on to him becoming a full demon and forgetting her and killing everyone in sight. She started to cry about that, forgetting about the'nightmare' that went on in her mind minutes ago. Well about 10 minutes ago, because it didn't take her that long to tell him about it.
She sniffed and felt her eyelids becoming heavy. She grabbed the fabric on his kimono and tried to dry her eyes. "It's okay, Kagome." She heard Inuyasha whisper in her ear. She pulled away and red, puffy eyes, met golden. She smiled weakly and nodded as her head fell to his shoulder. "Inuyasha...Th..ank...yo..u" She said before darkness claimed her and sleep overtook her.
"Inuyasha...Th..ank...yo..u" He heard the tiredness in her voice very clearly. He sighed softly in relief that she was okay, but anger welled up inside him. 'I have to watch my Kagome suffer and I can't help her!?' He was mad, but he still looked down at her delicate form. Puffy eyes from crying about 20 minutes, but otherwise in his eyes, perfect. He watched the rise and fall of her chest as her breathing evened out. He pulled her closer and put his nose in her hair, inhaling her sweet scent beyond compare. She cuddled up more to him and sighed. He lowered his head and kissed her on her forehead. "Don't worry, Kagome. I'll protect you forever." He whispered softly. Kagome's sleeping form smiled.
~*~*~*~*~*~* Kagome's/ Dream Memory~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Kagome and her father were walking in the park hand in hand. Kagome carried a big blanket in her free hand, while father held a picnic basket in the other. That's right, they were going on a picnic. They chose a shady spot under some trees and her father helped her unfold the blanket. They sat down and her father started putting out sandwhiches and pocky sticks and snaks like that. They ate in queit contempt, savoring the peace. The birds were chirping, the sun was shining, and they were so far out they couldn't hear any cars or sounds of the busy Tokyo.
"You like it out here Kag?"
"Yup! It's queit here. It's nice. How 'bout you, Daddy?"
"I like it too, Kag." He said and smiled as she moved closer to him.
In the depths of her mind Kagome could feel Inuyasha pull her tighter, but in the memory, her father was hugging her. Then her father kissed her forehead as Inuyasha did outside of dream-world. Suddenly Inuyasha's voice came from her father. "Don't worry, Kagome. I'll protect you forever." She smiled and was suddenly fifteen again and looked at her dad still hugging her.
"Dad?" She whispered. Her dad stared back at her and smiled a fanged smile. 'Waita sec. Fanged?' She thought as she watched his hair slowly turn silver and his human ears disappear only to be replaced by pointed dog ears on the top of his head. His glasses sank into his body and disappeared and his brown eyes became golden. She was in Inuyasha's lap staring at her dad- now-Inuyasha.
"You'll never be alone, Kagome. I'll always be here." Said her dream Inuyasha, but little did she know the real Inuyasha was telling her that as she slept on. She smiled and hugged him closer. She strained to get up a little and whispered against his ear, "Thanks Inuyasha." She pulled away from him to stare in his eyes when everything became dark and she was pulled out of her dreams by Miroku's voice. ~*~*~*~*~*~* End Dream ~*~*~*~*~*~*
Inuyasha still held Kagome and continued whispering to her about how she'll never be alone, when he heard Kagome whisper in her sleep, "Thanks Inuyasha." He looked shocked. 'She's dreaming about me? Feh. That's right. She better not dream about any other male.' He rested his head on top of hers and sighed contemptly.
Miroku chose this time to walk in and servay the scene before him. Inuyasha with Kagome in his lap with her eyes closed. Kagome's arms around his neck and Inuyasha with one arm around her waist and the other on her shoulder to press her closer to him. Inuyasha's head on top of Kagome and his eyes closed too. Miroku's perverted mind put two and two together and he smirked. "Way to go Inuyasha!!!" Of course he was thinking this the *ahem* wrong way.
Kagome's eyes opened and she groaned. 'I was taken out of my good dream.' She rubbed her eyes before her mind registered that she was in Inuyasha's lap. She looked shocked and so did he as he looked down at her. He was excepting her to scream and 'sit' him. They both blushed in unison and Miroku started laughing.
"It looks like you two had a good time." Miroku said with a wink and started laughing again. Inuyasha's face became as red as his kimono and he growled dangerously. He was about to hurt Miroku and rip out his vocal cords, but remembered Kagome in his lap. She was staring at him again and her face was just as red as his. When Inuyasha heard Sango's voice coming from the outside, he gently placed Kagome off of him and turned his gaze to the floor before glaring at Miroku to make him shut up. Miroku did just that, knowing if Sango or Shippou found out Kagome slept in Inuyasha's lap, Miroku would die.
Kagome stood up. "What a nice nap. Thanks for letting me rest, Inuyasha."
"Feh." He said as he too, stood up.
"Come on. We can search this area for some more rumors." Sango said as they filed out the door. Kagome stretched in the afternoon sun. She then noticed the lack of some members of their group.
"Where's Shippou and Kirara?" She asked, a puzzeled look on her face.
"Shippou was chasing some butterflies so I let Kirara take care of him while I came back to get ypou guys." Sango replied. Inuyasha heard a scream that was mute to human ears. Shippou's scream of pain.
"Shippou just screamed." He stated as he grabbed Kagome and threw her on his back and began running. Miroku and Sango grabbed his shoulders as they flew with him while shouting things like: "So you were gonna leave us behind!?" He just grunted his response as they saw Shippo crying and holding his foot while Kirara nudged his side.
"Shippou-chan! What's wrong?" Kagome asked while she knelt in front of him, worry clear on her face.
"I..I was sniff chasing the sob butterfly and I sniff, sniff stepped on a sharp sob rock!" He managed to get out as he cried harder and held his foot tighter.
"Ohh, Shippou-chan... Let me see your foot, okay?" Kagome asked as she leaned closer. He nodded slowly and let go of his foot. She grabbed it. It was bleeding through a gash, but it wasn't too serious. "It'll be okay." She reasured him as she looked through her pack she had somehow managed to grab on her way out of the hut. She foud her first aid kit and went to work. But he still complained that it hurt and cried when she touched it. She sighed and then remembered a lulaby to pacify her soul that her dad would sing when she scraped her knee.
She began stroking Shippou's hair and started singing softly.
"Little one I know your hurt, But wipe away the tears. The pain inside is great, But you'll be okay my dear.
Don't worry about it, It'll be okay. The sun will still rise, and I'll always be here.
So please stop the sobbing, I promise there's a way to make the pain disappear.
Let me see your smile. Forget about the tears. Remeber the happy times along the years. Your heart will beat again.
When you see the sky, See the birds flying high. The freedom they possess will be yours, If you'll be happy once again.
Lift the pain off, I promise it won't hurt. The sun will rise tomorrow, And I'll still be here."
When she was done singing, everyone was staring at her. Shippou was smiling and she had finished wrapping his foot up as she sang. She smiled sadly at him. "Does it still hurt, Shippou-chan?"
"No, my foot's fine now. That was a beautiful song, Kagome. It made my foot all better. Was that a spell song?" Shippou asked.
"No, just a song I like." She said as her eyes teared up a bit, but she forced all the sadness to the back of her soul and sighed.
"Where did you learn it?" Sango asked.
"My Dad used to sing it for me when I was a little girl." She said.
They all were in a silence as the sun reflected off the locket and a cold air chilled Kagome slightly. He eyes seemed to glaze over as another memory resurfaced.
