This is my first attempt on writing a fanfiction so be nice. =)

*INUYUSHA is own by Rumiko Takahashi yadda, yadda, yadda. You get my point.*

Some Japanese names here are invented- I'm not even sure if there is such a name- I figure anything that sounds Japanese- will somehow be all right. ***********************************************************************

JAPANESE TRANSLATION:

Gonem- I'm sorry

Iie-no

Furoshiki- is square cloth that can be use as gift wrap; in ancient times- it was sometimes use to carry bathroom vanities whenever the Japanese go to the hot spring/baths; it's can also be use as lunch box carrier- and has a convenient use in keeping the food from going to ground and keep the lunch box clean (picnic style); and many more

Nani-what

Sengoku Jidai-warring state period

Kami-sama-gods/god

Chapter 4: You know me?

PRESENT.

Apparently she tripped on the steps on her way to him.

Still in his arms.

"Inuyasha."

Inuyasha stared back at the girl. ['She knew my name?'] "Do I know you?"

"Eh." ['He's name is Inuyasha?']

"Psst. Kagome, you're attracting attention." Sango whispered quite loudly from the front.

Kagome turned to look at Sango who was grinning at her with a raise brow. "Gonem." She blushes as she detracted herself from the boy's arm without looking at him and went directly to Sango without turning back. She could feel the glares that they other female occupants in the room were throwing at her. ['I don't think I like this.']

"Now, that we are all settled," the teacher sighed, "Please, open your book on World History. I want all of you to read chapters one to ten. I'll be giving a test----"

Groans and complains were heard throughout the class.



"Neh," Sango elbowed Kagome, "I didn't know you know that guy. How'd you met Inuyasha? Did you know he's the talk of the campus? Be careful Kagome if the girls here will consider you their rival." She grinned, "Well, let's just say women can very be devious, you know." ['Especially that one girl, maybe she didn't need that one yet.']

"He's name is Inuyasha?" Kagome whispered back, hoping that the boy they were talking about won't hear them. ['I hope that's a joke Sango- about female species being devious, bah who cares. I don't care about them. I don't even like him.' ]

"Iie don't pretend to me that you don't know him," her friend replied, "because I heard you call him by his name. Come on, you don't need to hide it from me. I'm already your friend, right?"

"Sango, I swear I never met him in all my life, but," Kagome added when she saw her friend about to interrupt her, "somehow I know that I know him. Strange, isn't it?"

Sango could only stare back at her.

"Somehow, I know that he's short-tempered, can be violent sometimes, impatient, but very protective and reliable."

"Wow." Sango was amazed.

"See," Kagome frowned, "how I knew that I really don't know."

"Well, you were right at short-tempered, violent, and impatient. I haven't seen his protective and reliable self yet." Sango mused.

Kagome sweat-dropped.

"Are you sure you're not pulling my leg?"

"I'm sure," Kagome made a cross over her heart, "tell you what- I'll tell you something stranger later." Casting a look at the teacher who seemed to notice their inattention to the class. ['Hopefully you won't think me crazy afterwards.']

"Is this got to do with Inuyasha?"

"Yes and more."



*~*~*~*~*~

Lunch. Outside.

Beneath a huge tree.

"What's this all about?"

"Well, you see I've been having these strange dreams lately."

"Dreams?"

Kagome sat down. "Yes, dreams." She repeated as she spread out the furoshiki on to the grassy ground to place her food.

"Go on." Sango encouraged her friend to talk as she sat down in front of her.

"Well, these dreams-I feel it's more like a memory."

"Memory?" Sango frowned, "Kagome, I'm getting confused already and you haven't started yet. Why don't you start at the very beginning?" ['That does not make sense either.']

"Okay, it's like this," Kagome took a deep breath, "that guy-- Inuyasha- we'll I'm having dreams about him lately and I haven't even met him then."

"Nani?"

"See, I told you. You'll think me crazy."

"My opinion doesn't mean anything, right now." Sango replied, "Go on."

"But in my dream he's wearing red or was it pink," Kagome frowned, "anyway it was a kimono. He was from Sengoku Jidai, but I know that I know him even though I'm from this time."

"You mean like time travel?"

"In a way, I guess."



30 minutes later.

"How was that possible?"

"I don't know," she replied, "but he's not alone he has companions. And I sense I'm very close to them, too. But my feelings for him is."

"Yes."

"Different." She finished. "You know what I mean."

"Like you have more feelings for him?" Sango supplied. "Something akin to love?"

Kagome blushed.



A view of the sky.

"And he looks like Inuyasha."

"Hai."

"Hmm." Sango mused. "Remember my warning a while ago that girls can be malicious?"

"Yes, I remember, but they can have him for all I care."

Sango laughed at that.

['Yikes I sound like I have a relationship with him already and just had a fight with him or something.'] Kagome frowned.

"Ano.."

"That's all right, Kagome," Sango smiled. "But Inuyasha was involve with a girl before and this girl is very possessive." She said. "And weird." She supplied.

"Well, I don't care about him. She can have him for all I care." Kagome replied defensively. "My dreams might force me to think we have something more, but my real self says I don't care about him." ['Damn, but why do I sound so defensive?']

Sango mused. "Hey, maybe, just maybe, okay? That your dreams are signs."

"And. . ."

"That he's your soul mate or something." Sango gave her a dreamy look. "And to think they have the same name, right?"

['Should I tell her about Inuyasha in my dream being a yokai. If I do- she'll probably confirm that all these dreams are nothing, when I know they're not.']

"Hmm, I don't really believe in that. But you are right that he does have the same name even though in my dreams I could not really remember his name nor the others," Kagome said, "but when I saw him and called him Inuyasha I know immediately that the boy in my dream was also called Inuyasha."

"Hmm. . ."

"You ever experience something like that," Kagome trying to give proofs of her sanity, "you can't remember the people nor the names of the people in your dream then just as suddenly- you know them as soon as you were with them."

"Like deja vu?"

"Sort of," she nodded, "but not quite."

"Yeah, I know what you mean." Sango nodded, "don't worry about it much, Kagome. Maybe that's why they call it a dream."

"But somehow I sense it's more than that." Kagome whispered.

"Well, whatever it is . . ." standing up, "Kami-sama will hopefully provide some answers for it."

"Yeah, I hope so. I'm getting more confused as it is."

"Speaking of which-," Sango looking at something on her right, "whatever you do stay away from that guy."

Kagome turned to look at the guy Sango was talking about and saw the boy who caught her earlier in the hallway. "Miroku?"

"You know him?" Sango looked shock.

"Not really."

"He's a lecher."

"I know."

Both girls laughed at that.

"Ladies." Miroku approached them. "Sango, I didn't know you know each other."

"Her name is Kagome."

"What lovely name for such a lovely girl." Miroku grasped

Kagome's hand.

Kagome jerked her hand away. "You say that to every girl you've meet."

"Ouch." Miroku dramatically put a fist in his chest.

"You even asked them to bear your child." She grinned.

"Neh?" "Nani" Miroku and Sango said the same time.

['Where did that come from?']

"Why would I ask that?" Miroku scratched his head. "I'm too young, but practicing that one is another story though," he added with a winked.

Sango produced a heavy book in her hand and whacked it on Miroku's head--- HARD. It knocked him unconscious.

"Pervert!"



~*~*~*~*~*~

A while later, the girls had already gone.

Miroku holding a lump on his head again, his second lump for two consecutive days. If this keeps up, he'll be dead by Sunday.

"Sango, hit you again?"

"How'd you know?" Miroku looked at his approaching friend.

"She's the only girl who's not impress by your ways."

"I have you to thank that for. Despite of your appeal, your cold attitude towards the girls makes me more likable."

"But not Sango."

"Well, she does not like you either, Inuyasha." Miroku huffed. ['Dang what's with that girl, anyway?']

"Who cares!" Inuyasha replied as he jumped up the tree where Kagome and Sango ate a while ago.

Miroku stared up at his friend. He always wondered how his friend could do that.

"Hey, Miroku."

"Eh?"

"Who's the girl?" Slouching at the branch.

Miroku smirked. "My, Inuyasha is interested."

"Shut up!" Inuyasha actually growled. "Just tell me who she is?"

"Why?"

"Nani?" Inuyasha stared down at Miroku. "What are these- ten thousand questions?"

"All right," Miroku sighed, "her name is Kagome." He grinned as a group of girls who were following Inuyasha stop not too far from him. ['Well, I guess they needed me to nurse their broken heart.'] He rubbed his hands together as he walked to them.





~*~*~*~*~*~

['Kagome.']

An image of a determine Kagome with an arrow flashed through his mind.

He shook his head.

['Why is that her name is so familiar to me?' ]

Remembering the time he caught her in class.

['Even her scent.']
