Disclaimer: Sadly, I don't own Inu-chan... But I do have a have a birthday coming up in 3 weeks! ^.^;; Maybe I'll get him then!
A/N: I'll try to update as much as possible this week (depending on how many reviews I get) because I'm going to the Chibicon2k3 in Madison. Alabama! ^_^ Anyone else going? I'll be the girl in the boy-type Ranma t-shirt standing/walking around with another girl that has the girl-type Ranma shirt on... We already decided that.. ;;. If you're going, tell me and I'll keep an eye out for ya! ^.^;;

"Where are you going, Inuyasha?" She asked softly, so as not to wake the family and have them think she was crazy. There was no school tomorrow since it was a Sunday, so she didn't have to go to bed early. When she got to the bathroom,Shippou on the shoulder, Inuyasha was standing on the edge of the bath tub, about to jump in. "Don't drown yourself!" she called to him as he jumped in. A strange light shone from the water as nothing could prepare her for what happened next. In the tub, sat Inuyasha... Only... He was at his normal size. He smirked and looked down at himself and then to Kagome's shocked expression. Her eyes were wide and her mouth wide open. Then her eyes rolled back into her head as she fainted. Inuyasha jumped from the tub, dripping wet, and caught Kagome against his chest before her head hit the ground.
*******************
"Kagome!"
The voice in her dreams... The muffled sound, almost a growl,filled with worry...
Worry for her...
"Kagome!"
It almost sounds like Inuyasha now that she thought about it... But it couldn't be him, this voice had been in her dreams since her accident in the well...
"Kaaaaagome!!"
The voice always grew more desperate. Blackness was all around her; the only thing she heard was the voice. Then she hit something, although felt no pain in her dreams. Then an image formed. A small clearing with trees all around it. It was night and she couldn't make out anything clearly.
A woman's outline...
Who was she? Why was she dressed in traditional miko garb?
"Girl..." The woman spoke, but her voice seemed to not reach Kagome... She couldn't make it out clearly and she was dizzy.
Then something was shot at Kagome...
Something radiating pink light.
A miko's arrow...
Kagome gasped and jerked back to try to avoid it.
But... She only succeeded in tripping in an old well.
The Bone Eater's Well...
"Kagome!!"
The man's voice echoed through the well...
Suddenly, images formed in her mind; as if like flashbacks...
She took in a sharp breath. 'Inuyasha...' She thought as she saw them. The first one was of Inuyasha hugging her. That was when he pushed her into the well and took the shikon shards to keep her from coming back. Next, she saw herself running up to Inuyasha and hugging him when she got back. She saw many times Inuyasha had saved her, she saw Shippou in some of them too...But the rest of the people were just faceless shadows.
She finally knew who had been missing this whole time...
She still wasn't sure what happened, but at that moment she didn't care... She finally knew the person missing from her life; the person she needed to be whole once more.
...Inuyasha...
After she saw him at full size again, she remembered. Inuyasha...Inuyasha had been there for her always; he had saved and protected her...
She remembered him...She still lacked some memories, but she remembered some of the love she felt for him...
More flashbacks occured...
She saw him draping his kimono over her in a battle...She saw him transforming into a full youkai when Tetsuagia was knocked away... She saw herself 'sitting' him... She saw some of the many times she rode on his back... She saw the time he first turned human before her and layed his head in her lap, telling her she smelt nice...She saw herself stradling his waist, trying to get his kimono jacket off to check for injuries after the Yura battle...
Then she saw herself crying in front of the God Tree...
She wasn't sure why...She just saw a shadow like the others by Inuyasha.. That memory seemed blurry to her.
Then she knew she loved Inuyasha.. She remembered all the times he looked out for her and how protected she felt... She only wished she could remember if he felt the same way...
"Kagome!!"
She now reconized this dream voice... Inuyasha's voice. He was the one calling to her for months...Ever since her accident with the well.
Yet, she still wasn't sure what happened... But right now she didn't care.
Warmth...
She suddenly felt warm and protected and gave into the feeling to relax and relive some memories through her mind's eye.
**************
Inuyasha held her to his chest, his kimono dripping water all over the floor. His splashing had caused her Gramps and mother to wake up. Souta remained alseep since he was a pretty heavy sleeper.
"You!" Gramps exclaimed in wonder. "It's you!"
"Glad to see you remember me..." Inuyasha said blankly.
"But how...?" Her mother questioned. Inuyasha picked up Kagome bridal style and leaned up against the wall, shoving Shippou into his kimono as he did so. Then he told them about the final battle and Kagome flying from the clearing and them shrinking. Then he told of the fact that water made them return to normal size... Or at least a large quantity of water.
Somehow as he told his tale, they all ended up sitting in the living room. Inuyasha sat on the floor with Kagome in his lap, her head resting on his chest.
"She forgot about me..." He softly stated as he brushed a little of her hair away from her face.
Her Gramps nodded. "We found her beat up at the bottom of the well... She didn't know anything about you or her travels to the feudal era, so we told her that she had been really sick. We didn't want to confuse her or make her sad over what happened to you. We thought you might be dead or something since you never came back to get her... It's been months since then though... But she only seemed sadder without her memories of time-travel. She remembered her father's death more vividly it seemed and became really depressed. She withdrew herself and lived on the computer, claiming it was a better life than her real one. I took it away and prayed for you to come back every night so we could see her smile again..."
Inuyasha looked down sadly at Kagome. Then Kagome's mother spoke up. "Inuyasha, your kimono's wet... Why not have me dry it for you? I think we have some clothes here we were keeping for you in the past. You know, some jeans and t-shirts in case you came by to visit."
Inuyasha nodded. "Thanks..." he mumbled.
After he laid Kagome down on her bed, he changed into some boxers and a t-shirt; you know, to sleep in. His kimono was put into the dryer. Inuyasha dropped Shippou into a box of tissues as he walked by them. He didn't want Shippou to bother Kagome when she woke up. Plus, he wanted a little time to himself with Kagome. He went into her room and tucked her in the covers. Then, he laid down on the bed beside her as she tossed a bit, whimpering. He wrapped on arm around her waist and whispered into her ear, "Kagome..." She instantly stopped wiggling around and laid back into him. Her own voice seemed to drift to him, though it was tired.
"...Inuyasha..."
***************
Kagome woke up to the feeling of warmth. She was greeted by silver hair as she awoke. 'What the...?" She thought as she blinked and tried to pull away. An arm tigthened around her waist and she was pulled closer into a male chest. 'Inuyasha...' She thought. He looked down into her hazel eyes with concern.
"Are you okay?" he asked softly. His eyes looked like they were searching her soul.
"I'm fine, Inuyasha... Now I'm fine...Everything is okay now... It was -you- all along..."
"What? Who was me?" He asked, confused.
"The voice in my dreams... The man calling for me... It was -you-..."
"How do you know?"
"Oh, Inuyasha... I remember... I remember you, Inuyasha."
"You do..?" He asked in surpise.
"Yes... Not everything... But I remember you..." her eyes began to water. "Inuyasha!" She cried out as she buried her face into his chest and sobbed. "I...never knew how much I...I missed you... Until last night... when I remembered... Then I knew what had been missing... Oh, Inuyasha!" She cried out again as she tightened her grip on him.
He looked down at her with soft golden eyes. "Kagome..." he said so low it sounded like a growl and vibrated through her body. "It's okay... I'm here.. I promise I'm not going anywhere."
Still though, she kept her face buried in his chest.
"Kagome?" He said after she had calmed down a bit.
"Hmm?"
"Do you remember anyone else?"
"Not really... I can remember Shippou's face in a few memories, but nothing really about him... And everyone else was blurred and shadowy. I couldn't make them out well, nor reconize their voices..."
"It'll come back to you..."
" I hope so.."
She was still curled into his chest, a simple blanket around them. His chin rested on her head. She remembered... She remembered that she loved him... He didn't know that she loved him of course, but he was still happy to be remembered.
He looked down at the small girl in his arms and thought one thing.
'My Kagome is back.'
