Chapter 8: Memories
It has been a week since they have left Morpheous' forest and they were still recuperating. Miroku seemed to flirt with twice as many girls and freaked out whenever Inu-Yasha tried to talk to him. Shippou clung to Kagome even more so, and Sango constantly ran away from her weapon as if her weapon was going to attack her at any moment. Kagome didn't want to be around Inu-Yasha, she seemed on edge as if he would do something to her. Kagome finally got away from Shippou and took a walk in a forest and then she saw him, Inu-Yasha sleeping in a tree.

Inu-Yasha had slept in the comfortable bed for hours and his wounds had healed. He opened his eyes slightly to test the degree of the light; it was bright at first until a silhouette of a body blocked it.
"Son."
"Father."
"My son, you did well."
"Is this a dream, a memory, what is this?"
"This is me talking to you from the afterlife in a setting that did occur. I brought you here after I rescued you from Lord Ahnger, but you were so sick, you remember nothing. But know this I love you son, as does your mother. We wish you did not have to suffer so, but you have grown well and strong, I am proud."
"Father, I want memories of you."
"You do now and forever more," said his father. He leaned down and kissed Inu-Yasha's forehead. I will protect you and help when needed and of course watch over all you care about as I do for Sesshomaru."
"Then you have seen."
"Yes, you shall work this out someday. You are my sons and you need each other more than you know. Now awake for Kagome," he said as he brushed his fingers over Inu-Yasha's eyes.

"Inu-Yasha wake up," came Kagome's voice.
"Humph."
"What about the effects of Morpheous' powers?"
"They were gone since he died."
"How do you know?"
"You're not punching me," said Inu-Yasha sarcastically.
"I've said sorry, it's just in my dream ."
"Fine, I don't care."
Kagome was about to yell at him for being uncaring but then Inu-Yasha said, "But I am glad your okay," while he jumped to the ground.
"Good.And I'm glad your okay. What did you dream about?"
"My father."
"What, you said he died when you were young, you didn't have memories of him," she said as she sat next to Inu-Yasha.
"I guess I do now," said Inu-Yasha while looking up at the sky, finding comfort in his surroundings. Kagome leaned her head on Inu-Yashas' shoulder and watched the sunset with him. And somewhere in the plain of the afterlife a full demon and a full human were doing the same. The End.
