*~*~*~*~*

Demon Within
Chp. 10
Dreams

*~*~*~*~* Last time---

He stood there glaring at her-

And the pieces of the puzzle fell into place.

Now*~*~*~*~*

(~F~L~A~S~H~B~A~C~K~)

~Kagome's Dream~

A image of the full moon appeared.

A complete Shikon jewel flew up and joined the moon in the sky. . .

It rolled over, perfectly lining up with the moon.

The jewel faded, but the image of a circle of ten shards appeared, outlining the full moon.

The moon turned paler white, until suddenly a pair of red eyes glared at her.

Then a white arrow flew out of nowhere, striking in the middle of the ring of shards.

The shards flew off in all directions, and the red eyes turned orange then yellow before fading all together.

Only the moon remained.

The images played over and over in her mind. . .

~ End of Dream! ~

Kagome woke up with a start.

(~E~N~D~F~L~A~S~H~B~A~C~K~)

It all made sense now.

The full moon~

Red eyes~

The shards in a ring~

And she understood what she must do.

Choking, Kagome finally understood her dream and Sarah's words.

"And whatever you do, never forget you dreams. . ."

Stepping back as Inuyasha continued his moonlight sonata, she crouched, feeling behind herself for her bow and arrows, never taking her eyes off Inuyasha's face.

With shaking arms, she raised her bow and notched one of her red-fletched arrows at him.

Anytime now~

The Full moon rolled into view as Inuyasha howled once more before glaring at her again, his face and body still darkened as red eyes loomed out of the darkness.

3~

2~

1~

Now.

The ring of shards on his forehead shined brilliant purple as he lunged forward, claws raised at her.

Kagome concentrated on her arrow, closing her eyes again and submersing herself into the color-less darkness that turned black.

She concentrated hard~

~And out of the darkness a purple ring of dark light and energy appeared, speeding towards her, as the full moon appeared behind.

She waited for the second the two rings of light aligned~

~and fired her arrow.

She opened her eyes in time to see a white-fletched arrow zooming towards Inuyasha. The arrow lodged into his forehead, dead center of the ring of shards. He howled as purple lightning ran up and down his body from the tip of the arrow and flooded the area in blinding white light.

The ten shards flew out of his forehead, sparkling in the moonlight and landing in a heap in front of Kagome's feet. The sky clouded over, covering the clear moonlight, darkening the area as rain started pounding down.

What concerned her more was Inuyasha.

He stood there for a second, blood red eyes fading to orange, then golden yellow, the stripes disappearing from his cheek as his fangs and claws grew shorter and he teetered forward and collapsed in a heap on the ground.

"I-INUYASHA!" Kagome cried, running over to him and kneeling by his body. "Inuyasha," she whispered, rolling him over, flinching as she raised her hand and looked at his fresh blood staining her finger tips.

"K. . .Kagome?" he whispered, slowly opening his eyes. Kagome reached out, caressing his cheek as tears welled in her eyes. "What happen~ fuck!" Inuyasha winced, his head turning to the side as the pain became apparent to himself.

"Y-you turned f-full demon. . ." Kagome trailed off, tears pouring in steady rivers down her face, blending with the rain around them.

"feh. . ." Inuyasha raised a claw, looking at his dyed-red claws. "So I really did kill myself. . . heh. . ." he chuckled bitterly, letting his hand drop to the ground as his eyes stared at the moon again.

"Inuyasha, please," Kagome whispered. "Don't give up. You'll make it! I know you will!!"

Inuyasha's head turned to stare at her again. "I won't make it Kagome," he said calmly, so calmly it freaked her out. "I'm breaking up inside even as we speak. Death will happen eventually. . ." he trailed off, averting his gaze and flinching in pain again.

"No. . ." Kagome whispered. "No!! Inuyasha please. . . I love you. . ."

Inuyasha was looking at his bloody claws as the pounding rain washed the blood off in rivers, before flinching again and turning to looks at her. "I love you too Kagome. . . I know. . . That I won't survive. . .but I know. . . one day we'll meet again. . ." with the last of his strength, he pulled her down into a sweet, chaste kiss, before the loving, warm light in his golden eyes died away and his slightly cold hands slipped down.

"no. . .INUYASHA!" Kagome cried out. Her body slumped onto Inuyasha, crying as she gently pulled off his rosary and his hoari and wrapped it around her shoulders, crying bitterly.

'You promised, Inuyasha. . .

. . . We'll meet again some day.'

~*~*~*~* Years Later *~*~*~*~

Kagome slid the key in the lock to her dorm and stepped inside, draping her coat on a chair and shivering. "I need some coffee. . ." She muttered to herself, walking in the direction of the coffee maker.

'Life is perfect,' she thought five minutes later, sitting at her chrome kitchen countertop and flicking the TV on to soap opera after soap opera after soap opera. . .

*~*~* Baby you're all that I want When you're lying here in my arms I'm finding it hard to believe We're in Heaven. *~*~*

'Well. . .Not SO perfect,' She sighed, remembering today she was supposed to meet her math tutor here in ten minutes. After nine year and she was in college, she still failed in math and her teacher had told her that she would send a tutor to her dorm.

'I wonder if he/she will be nice. . .' It had been nine years since the shikon no tama was completed and naraku was defeated.

Sango and Miroku got married, and the last time she had visited Sango was carrying his second child. Miroku was away at the time, visiting his father's grave, praying to his father and grandfather, both who apparently blessed him for removing the family curse. Shippo lived with Sango and Miroku.

*~*~* Oh, thinking about our younger years, There was only you and me, We were young and wild and free Now nothing can take you away from me We've been down that road before, But that's over now. You keep me coming back for more *~*~*

Rin grew up and still tagged along with Sesshomaru. Inu-Tasha also traveled with Sesshomaru and Rin, and Jaken had been disposed of.

Jenny disappeared, popping up in the village occasionally to chat with Sango and say hello to everyone before disappearing again. Keade died peacefully of old age and Miroku became village priest, as well as village protecter with Sango and Kagura (who had celebrated after Naraku's death).

*~*~* Baby you're all that I want When you're lying here in my arms I'm finding it hard to believe We're in Heaven *~*~*

The shikon no tama had been completed. Kagome ran her finger of the smooth pink jewel, peering into its crystalline depths. All that for this small jewel. . .

Kagome was jerked sharply out of her thoughts when she heard the deep, rich tone of the doorbell ringing through the dorm. Sighing, she glanced at her clock. 3:00 PM sharp. Setting her coffee cup down on the shiny chrome countertop, she made her way to the door.

"I hope they're nice," she mumbled, closing her eyes and yawning as she opened the door and stepped through, bumping into someone. "Oops, sorry. . ."

The first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was silver.

Silver hair and golden eyes she hadn't seen in nine years.

*~*~*

And love is all that I need And I found it there in your heart It isn't too hard to see We're in Heaven *~*~*

"It can't be. . ." She whispered. Tears started welling up in her eyes.

"K-Kagome?!?"

"INUYASHA!" She screamed, lunging forward and tackling him, tears of joy flowing out of her eyes and she wrapped her arms around his neck and sobbed into his chest.

"I never thought I'd see you again. . ." she whispered into his neck

Fifteen minutes later we find Kagome and Inuyasha settled happily on the couch. Inuyasha lounged lazily on the couch with Kagome in his lap. Life could not get better.

*~*~* Now, nothing could change what you mean to me There's a lot that I could say But just hold me now, Cause our love will light the way *~*~*

"Mmmm. . .Inuyasha. . ." Kagome murmered, breaking off their latest make out session, "Where were you all these years? I really missed you. . ."

Inuyasha didn't respond at first, kissing her neck before moving up her face and whispering into her ear, "I've been searching for you for five hundred years. . . Can't I get my fill of my fun first?"

Kagome playfully punched. "C'mon," she whined. "Where have you been?"

"I died. I got reborn. I died. I got reborn. I died. . ."

"I get the pattern now Inuyasha. . ."

"Good." Inuyasha continued his gently ministrations on her neck as she giggled and cocked her head to give him better access.

*~*~* Baby you're all that I want. When you're lying here in my arms I'm finding it hard to believe We're in Heaven. *~*~*

Next morning found Kagome laying in bed cuddled next to her Inuyasha. Inuyasha woke up, yawned, and blinked, before smiling at his mate and pulling her onto his chest, where she woke up and yawned, kissing him good morning and snuggling into his bare chest.

"I don't wanna get up yet. . ." she mumbled.

Inuyasha rolled his eyes at the young woman but pulled the sheets up around their bodies higher and winding his arm around her waist. "Whatever you want, my mate. . ." he mumbled sleepily into her ear, pulling her closer as she giggled and tweaked one of his ears.

*~*~* And love is all that I need And I found it there in your heart It isn't too hard to see We're in Heaven

Now our dreams are coming true Through the good times and the bad I'll be standing there by you

We're In Heaven *~*~*

She never thought she'd see this day.

The day when the shikon no tama was completed, the day when naraku was dead, the day she'd wake up to her mate Inuyasha.

The day she'd never been so happy.

Kagome snuggled into his chest, smiling as the world of dreams swallowed her up again.

*~*~* And love is all that I need And I found it there in your heart. It isn't too hard to see We're in Heaven.

WE'RE IN HEAVEN *~*~*

---The End----

I LOVE THIS STORY!!!! ::sobs:: AND NOW IT HAS TO END!!

Well, I hope that was nice and fluffy for all the ppl who wanted it. I considered putting more lime in, but I though there was enough lime already, plus if anyone else I KNOW is reading this fic they would start rumors on me at school .

Okay, I have a couple stories plotted out. You guys vote in your reviews what you want to see next, and I'll count up the votes and total them out when I get at least 15-20 reviews. The nominees are:

LAST RESOLUTION (different ending on Demon Within) What if. Inuyasha never died? What if he returned to himself, and realized the damage he'd done? Sango, Sesshomaru, Jenny Yi, his cousin and Miroku were heavily wounded, he killed Kouga, and Kagome is the last one standing. Inuyasha finds his time in this world running short, and his last resolution is to never hurt anyone again.

A IS FOR APPLE, B IS FOR BANNANA, P IS FOR PERVERT. . . Sango is a kindergarten teacher! So what happens when the school staff hires Miroku and his pal inuyasha to work as assistant teachers for her and Kagome? Kagome and Inuyasha hit it off right away, but what happens when you combine a pissed off Sango, a lecherous Miroku, and questioning kindergarteners?

DIVINE INTERVENTIONS Kagome is an apprentice angel to the angel master of love, Midoriko. She's sent on her first training mission to earth: Attend Shikon high, posing as a student, and get Inuyasha and Kikyo together. Inuyasha is a half demon and Kikyo us a miko, and they hate each other's guts, so how is Kagome supposed to get the two together? But then the plan backfires and Kagome finds herself falling in love! But love between angels of heaven and demons of hell is an un-excusable thing. So what happens when forbidden feelings begin to rise between Kagome and Inuyasha. . .?

THAT'S THE OPTIONS!!! SO PLEASE VOTE ON IT!!!

That's all my friends!! See you on my next fic! (or chapter)

Love, Falcon
