Summer Days

Author's Note: This is my first Inuyasha fic so I may get a few facts wrong since I've just started watching this show from the second episode and so far I'm up to the 18h one, so please go easy. Ok, so now the gang has added to their mission. Inu's parents were killed by a demon named Miyamoto and Inuyasha has promised to help find and kill this demon. Unfortunately, they don't have a clue what he looks like since no one has ever seen his face. And most importantly, Inuyasha and Kagome are opening up to each other. This chapter is going to have a flash back in it and a few of my facts may be wrong so please go easy.

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or the characters! But I do own Inu! YEAH! *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~* Chapter 11

Kagome let out a sigh and twirled her pencil in her hand and began dozing off. She was in math and it wasn't too active. She looked out the window and sighed. She was beginning to wish she had stayed with Inuyasha in the feudal age. She knew there was a lot they had to complete, getting Inu home and getting the Shikon shards, but she still had school to attend. She let out a low groan and laid her head on her arms, which were folded on the desk. 'Why does math class have to be SO boring?' she thought and let out a sigh, closing her eyes and falling asleep. (A/N: Her dream is actually a flash back.)

*~*~*~*~FLASHBACK~*~*~*~*

A young girl around the age of five came walking into the forest in her nightclothes (you know, the pajamas with the feet) and titled her head to the side when she spotted a boy sitting at the side of a lake. The dog- ears at the top of his head were folded back and he didn't even acknowledge that he knew she was behind him. "Inuyasha. what are you doing?" she asked. The boy looked over his shoulder at her and narrowed his golden eyes at her.

"What do you want, wench?" he asked bitterly. The girl narrowed her eyes at him.

"Forget my name was Kagome all in one night, huh?" she asked. He scowled and continued to glare at the water in front of him. "And what's a wench?" she asked.

"The same as a bitch." He answered. "Which is what all human females are.except my mom." He answered. Kagome looked at him sadly.

"Did I do something wrong, Inuyasha?" she asked. He looked at her with a raised eyebrow. "If I did I'm sorry." She muttered quietly.

"Feh." He grunted and moved over a bit as a sign for her to sit next to him. "What's with the funny clothes?" he asked curiously. Kagome looked at her clothes.

"I was suppose to be in bed." She answered. "Why are you out here?" she asked. He just shrugged. "Then why did you call me a wench? I don't even know what that means.."

"It's nothing. I'm sorry alright." He muttered. Kagome nodded and looked at the sky. "Wanna go play?"

"At night time?" Inuyasha just shrugged.

"That way no stupid human kids can bother us. No offense to you." Kagome nodded and climbed onto his back, having him carry them off towards a clearing. Kagome's eyes lit up.

"Oooo! Now we can play tag!" she said. Inuyasha looked at her in confusion. "It's when you chase another person and you tap them, making them 'it' and then they have to chase you." She informed.

"That sounds stupid." Inuyasha scoffed. Kagome crossed her arms.

"We could play hide and seek." She said. His eyes widened and she explained that game.

"Can't we cross the games and play them both?" he asked. Kagome looked at him. "Like I find you then chase you until you become it?" he asked.

"OK!" piped Kagome and slapped his shoulder. "YOU'RE IT! Now count to twenty so I can hide." She ordered. Inuyasha nodded and leaned against a tree, beginning to count. Kagome ran behind a tree and hid.

"Ready or not, here I come!" called Inuyasha and began bouncing through the tree tops. Kagome watched him as he did. He was a REALLY cool boy to be able to do all that. It made the game more interesting that way. "FOUND YOU!" announced Inuyasha and Kagome screamed and began running. Of course, being half demon, Inuyasha had super speed and caught her. "You're it!" he announced, his arms tight around her waist and her back pressed to his chest. Kagome grinned up at him. He was a good two inches taller than her, but it made sense since he was older.

"Alright. You go hide. But no super speed when I have to chase you. And no hiding up in the trees." She ordered and he nodded. Kagome nodded and leaned against a tree, starting to count. When she finished, she couldn't help but notice a bush with a pair of dog-ears sprouting out the top. "I FOUND YOU!" cheered Kagome, causing him to stumble out the bush and have trouble getting onto his feet to run from her. I was a good thing too since he couldn't use his demon like speed while she chased him. She managed to get a head start and pounced on the half demon, causing them to go tumbling across the ground. Kagome landed on top of Inuyasha and pinned him to the ground. "I win!" she piped.

"We're you suppose to pounce like that?" asked Inuyasha curiously. Kagome looked down at him and shrugged, causing him to narrow his eyes at her and Kagome laughed.

"Want to play again?" she asked. Inuyasha sat up, having her fall off his chest and into his lap,

"No, I need to teach you to climb trees." He answered. "No mate of mine is gonna have to rely on the ground all her life." He said. Kagome looked at the six-year-old boy curiously.

"What's a mate?" she asked. Inuyasha looked at her with a blank expression, then he shrugged.

"I think it's a partner kind of thing. I sometimes hear demons at the taverns talk about getting a good mate. I guess from what they said, you would be considered my mate." He answered. Kagome nodded.

"What does a mate do?" she asked, still siting in his lap, facing him and looking into his eyes with great curiosity. Inuyasha scratched his head thoughtfully.

"Well I guess they're so you're never alone." He answered and looked at her. "You do good at that." Kagome nodded. Suddenly a young woman came up to them.

"Inuyasha!" she announced and stopped when she saw Kagome, which was strange since in her world, Kagome's mother couldn't even see Inuyasha. "Dear, who is your friend?" she asked.

"This is Kagome." Inuyasha answered brightly. "She's my mate!" he piped. The woman smiled at her son.

"A bit early to have a mate, don't you think?" she asked. Inuyasha and Kagome looked at each oher.

"No." hey both answered. The woman let a small laugh and nodded.

"Alright then. Kagome, I'm Inuyasha's mother and I'm glad my son could find a girl that he could consider a mate and friend." She said and examined her. "That is human as well." She added and Kagome grinned.

"You're welcome." She answered.

"Well come now. We have to get back home, Inuyasha. You know the demons come out when its late. I've old you one too many times about that." She said and Inuyasha nodded.

"Can Kagome stay with us?" he asked. "Just for tonight?" he added. The woman looked at them and nodded.

"Yes, but will her mother be worried?"

"Nope." Answered Kagome. I'm in bed right now." She informed. The two children followed the young woman to a hut and when they got inside, Inuyasha led Kagome to a small room. Inside there were many had made toys.

"You can share a bed with me. I think mates do that." Inuyasha said, pulling a large mat out into view and grabbing some thick blankets. He and Kagome got on the mat and his mother and covered them up. She smiled and kissed both their foreheads, before humming a sweet song that made them both easily doze off. Kagome rolled over and gripped onto Inuyasha's shirt, having him move closer to her as they slept, keeping them both warm the rest of the night. "We're mates forever, right Kagome?" asked Inuyasha tiredly earlier that evening before they had fell asleep/

"Yeah. as long as you don't call me a wench or bitch any more- what ever hey mean." She answered.

"Ok." Inuyasha agreed. "I won't."

*~*~*~*~END OF FLASHBACK~*~*~*~*

"Mrs. Higurashi!" announced a voice and Kagome's head snapped up. She looked up at her math teacher with a dazed expression and suddenly jumped up. "Now that you've finally recovered from what ever excuse you may want to call it- no getting enough sleep due insomnia (is that right?), I'd rather you pay MORE attention in my class." He informed.

"Yes sir." Said Kagome and sat back down, running her fingers through her hair as the teacher went back to his lesson. Her dream had been too real. And it was so familiar as well. She looked at the clock and let out a sigh. There was only ten minutes left of class and she would be able to go to lunch. Maybe run home and see how her family was as well. As for her dream, she'd have to ask Inuyasha about it later.
