~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~
Inuyasha instantly jumped back in surprise.
'What the hell! Who is this girl!! How does she know my name?!?'
He was about to go pounce on the girl to wake her up....She had some MAJOR explaining to do. But once he heard her voice, he couldn't get his feet to move. Sure it was a little deeper, and soft because she mumbled it in her sleep, but..oh he would remember that voice anytime!!!
****************** Flash Back **********************
As the girl turned over in her sleep, he could see her face. Surrounded by midnight black hair was one of the prettiest faces Inuyasha had ever seen. It was lightly colored, no signs of acne, scars, or freckles. And it strangely reminded him of someone he once knew. Suddenly the girl murmured in her sleep,
" Inuyasha......"
*************** End of Flashback**********************
"Kagome?"
Inuyasha causioulsy walked towards the bed in an awkward indecisivness. Should he wake her up and see if it's really her? Or let her sleep and talk to her in the morning? He looked closely at the sleeping woman. No. He wouldn't wake her up.
"I guess ill be sleeping on the floor tonight. What fun." Shaking his head, Inuyasha grabbed some pillows off the floor and positioned them around him so he could go to sleep.
'Wow! what if it's really her? I mean, I haven't seen her in what? Five years!! Who knows what she's like now?'
He couldn't wait to show her to Miroku and Sango! That got him to thinking about what she would be like. He knew she had to be different, she's 21 now, not 16. But deep down inside Inuyasha was picturing the hyper spunky teen he knew and loved so much. Kagome, the sweet caring girl that no matter what happened to her, got everyone around her to forget about her problems and help them with their's. They had had some great times together, enough to write a series of novels!
Before Inuyasha drifted off to sleep, the last memory he thought of was he and Kagome sitting on the couch together, his arm wrapped around her as they cuddled in front of the TV.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kagome's Dream Sequence
"Bye Inuyasha! See ya tomorrow!"
"Bye, Hey! Do you want me to walk you home?It's sort of cold out and pretty dark. You never know what kind of sickos are out this time of night!"
"It's okay Yashie, "their" house isn't that far away, I'll be okay. Just get home and go to bed! We've got an early morning tomorrow right?" Smilling, I waved and turned down the alley, walking away from the tree house and into the dirrection of my house. As the wind blew hard against my body I tried to zip up my jacket.
"Shoot! I think the zipper's broken! Great now i get to freez to death!"
Turning around another corner onto my street I tried to tug my coat closer around myself to keep in the warmth. ' I hope Mom and Dad aren't too mad at me...I mean, it's not that late.'
I finally got to my front door and all the lights were on. 'Uh oh, that can't be good.' Hopping up the stairs two at a time, I reached for the front door right as HE comes out and grabs me.
"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? Do you know it's almost 11:00? I can't BELIEVE you!!! You irresponsible bitch! Your mother and I work all day long to put a roof over you head and food at your plate and this is how you repay us? By hanging out all night with that sleezball you call your best friend? I'm supprized he hasn't RAPED you yet!!!"
Through all of this I just stood there taking it all without showing any bit of my emotions. Emotions are powere with this man. ' I cant let him see how close to the edge I am right now!' I looked him strait into his eyes and then lower mine to the ground. He might take it as a challange if I stare back at him.
"No, that'd be you step-father."
OH MY GOD!! Why did I just say that? Do you think he heard me? Maybe I mumbled it too low..... My heart started to pound about a hundred miles a second. I can't seem to move from where I'm standing. There he is, the man that's beaten me since God knows when, I have nightmares every night because of him, turning purple seething with anger that was about to explode.
'Fuck! He's ganna come over here and beat the crap out of me! He only needs to move three steps and he'll be in smacking range. I can see it in his eyes, he knows it too. And this time I'm not going to just be pushed around and smacked into the tables. No. Tonight he's not stopping until I'm dead!'
Looking around in panick, I start to back up. Using my hands to feel for the table behind me. For in my state of fear, I couldn't get passed the thought that if I trip over the coffee table, it'll be the end. And it will hurt if I scrape my leg on the corner.
For every step I took, My step-father took another step toward me. He glared at me so hard that I thought my heart might stop pounding just because he seemed so bent on it happening. His mennacing face scared me soo much! What could I do against him?
Get something heavy! Find something that will hurt if I throw it at him! 'THERE! The lamp!' Right as he lunged at me, I scooted to the right and grabbed the table lamp and yanked it out of the wall. He was getting up and in an instant he was right back after me. I clench the bottom of the lamp and swung it back and up right into his head as hard as I could.
Down he went. Is he still conscious? I can't go near him, he has to be faking! As I tried to figure out what to do I heared a groan coming from the floor. 'Shit! He's still awake! I've got to do something!' Looking around the room I saw the stoker, thonges, and the rest of the fireplace tools. Running around the couch I grabbed the meanest looking one in the set. The poker. Looking to my step-dad on the floor, I stalled for a minute.
"Ha! I knew you couldn't do it! You worthless pice of shit!!! Get over here and I'll show you what your made of!" Coughing, he started to get up and turned to me. I didn't have any real clear thought on what I was doing. All I knew is that I was suddenly running up to him, poker in hand, and was ready to do anything that kept him from hurting me again tonight. I looked strait into his eyes and rammed the thing into his stomach.
For a minute I did nothing but stand there looking at my step-father in shock. What did I just do? WHAT AM I GOING TO DO? I had to get out of there! All I could do was look at the man lying on the floor, possibly dead, and think that I DID IT! I'm as bad as him! 'I gotta get out of here! What if someone finds him like this? What if he's dead?' A thousand questions rushed into my head. I have to go pack some clothes and stuff. 'Yea. I'll run away! That's it! No one will be able to catch me if I leave right away!' I ran upstairs into my room to get some clothes and my special blanket in a bag.
"WHERE IS IT!!??? Where's my blanket? FUCK! I left it at the tree house the other night when I stayed with Inu!" .....Inuyasha what's he gonna think of me when he finds out? He'll hate me! He'll think I'm sick! I can't let him see me before I go. Or any of them! 'Oh Sango and Miroku, I'm going to miss you soo much!'
Now I was crying from the thought of leaving my friends and shaking, still in shock over what just happened. My nerves were beginning to frey, I had to get out of there! Forget my blanket! I'll just get some clothes, food, and money! Yea. That's what I'm going to do. Rushing downstairs on some really shaky legs I ran into the kitchen and grabbed the cookie jar where the emergancy stash of cash lived. Grabbing for my jacket I took one last look at the family room and the man lying on the floor, his blood spilling out all behind him.
" I really am as bad as you said I was" I wispered.
Bowing my head, I turned and walked out the door. I walked untill I got to the end of the driveway and then I ran like a bat out of hell. 'Keep on going and never look back! Never look back......' I said over and over until I got far enough away so that I didn't recognize anything around me.
"AAHHH!!!" I cried out into the night air. Throwing my suitcase into the air and onto the street I collapsted in the corner of an alley. There I sat curlled up with my arms wrapped around my legs, crying to my heat's content.
"Oh..oh God! W..Why did thi..this happen to me? I've lived with tho..those two for years! Why did I...Why did I explode? Why did I snap? I..I KILLED HIM!!! *sniff* I think I KILLED my step-father! N..no matter how much he deserved it, I'm just as bad as h..him now!" *sob* Oh....Inu..Inuyasha. Sango. Miroku! I'm never going to see you again! If I go back and you guys find out what i did, you'll be discustd with me.
Lying my head back against the grimy brick wall I was leaning against, I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.
"....Inuyasha..."
********************End of Kagome's Dream Sequence*************************
Inuyasha woke up in the middle of the night to the sound of some mumbling and the smell of salt water. Not remembering why he was sleeping on the floor instead of his bed, it took a while for him to get his facts strait. After a few moments everything came back to him.
"Kagome!!!!"
The said girl was still asleep on the bed in the corner but he could hear her tossing around under the comferter. Walking over to the matress, Inuyasha looked down to see the pretty face he had seen last night scrunched up in what had to be some type of loathing or sadness. Instictivly he moved his hand down to brush her tears away. (a/n umm...i had it written so that the end of the dream was when he heard her the other night. But I found out i had her peacefully sleeping and i just had to add this so.....pretend she's still having nightmares or something!!!! im too lazy to go back and change everything and i like it the way it is!)
Unconsciously Kagome snuggled up to the pressure and warmth that was added to her face. It comferted her in some strange way and she slowly began to relax as it rubbed her cheeks. "uhmm........"
Inuyasha was shocked. Almost. She had rolled over and covered his hand with her own, keeping it there with her. He knew the comfert he was giving to the girl but still, she relaxed so quickly!!! It made him sort of excited.
'Woah there boy, she doesn't know its you. She just likes the extra warmth your hand is giving her! Take it away before she wakes up with you standing there, your hand tucked between her's and her face!'
Inuyasha did take his hand back but he also sat down on the edge of the bed, waiting for the girl to wake up. If she is Kagome, which he was pretty sure it was, then he'd probably have to push her out of it before she woke up! Then he remembered how she had had trouble sleeping for a while before she left, and always woke up at least three to five times every night.
'Huh. Come to think about it, I don't remember her waking up at all last night. Oh well, maybe she's gotten over it....Or maybe being back in this tree house had somthing to do with it! It's possible I guess.'
He shook his head. Better just to wake her up and ask her. So, he gently took a hold of both her shoulders and shook her lightly.
"Hey. Hey girl, wake up okay? Please? I gotta see who you are." Wow. Great job on the vocals there Inuyasha! Mentally smacking himself on the head, he tried again.
"Umm...I have food........." HAHA!!! Well, it was worth a try. That sure would have woken ME up.
*******Kagome's Pov***********
'Wwaahhhh....' What, who's shaking me?
Before she opened her eyes, Kagome tried to remember where she was. 'Umm...The City!!! That's right. I went home! Well..then who's shaking me? Didn't I go to bed in the tree house?' Bolting awake, Kagome sat up as fast as a girl could after sleeping for 9 hours.
"What!!? Oh my god!" There was someone there! A really cute guy to be exact. Shirtless, he was sitting at the edge of her matress. Or well, had been. He sort of moved back when she suddenly shot awake.
"OH MY GOD!!" she repeated, "I am sooo sorry, I thought this place was empty. See my friends and I used to stay here a lot when we were kids and I thougth maybe no one was using it......." A pair of strong tan arms gripped her shoulders and effectivly got her to stop rambling. Slowly, she looked up into the face of the guy that had woken her up for the first time. Her breath left her in a second. She gasped as her heart literally stopped beating. She just stayed like that, sitting up in the old ratty matress, shoulders held by the guy that woke her up, as she just stared into his eyes, for what seemed like forever.
"Inuyasha?" she wispered.
"It's you isn't it? It's really you!!!!" Suddenly Kagome was pulled into a fierce hug by the man in front of her. "HAHAHA" Inuyasha stated laughing out of pure joy. He couldn't help it! He had been waiting for this day ever since she'd left five years ago!!!!
Pulling back, he staired at her. Her eyes were a little puffed from just waking up and her hair was all tossed around, but it was her. He had slepped with Kagome all night!
Kagome was in too much shock to really do anything. I mean here I was dreaming about the same boy that had always haunted her dreams, and now he was sitting right in front of me!!! It was a miracle! Kagome started to cry, she didn't know why she had come home. 'I guess a part of me has always wanted to come back.' But no matter what she had never let herself think that her friends might be there too. Now she was here and so was Inuyasha.
Inuyasha must have figured out she was just really overwehlmed, which she was, and move to sit near her until she finished crying. He had always hated it when she cried and had done everything in his power to figure out what could make her feel better each time. He had gotten pretty good at it before she had left. 'Not that I cried that much.....'
Without even thinking about it, Inuyasha started to run his hands through her hair as he let her lean onto his shoulder and sort of cuddle into his side. His chest was getting kind of wet with all her tears but he didn't care. He wasn't even thinking about it.
"Shhh. It's okay Kagome. Your here now. Wow. You sure do know how to make a guy figure how much he likes you! Just run away and let him think of you for a few days and your set!" He could feel more than hear Kagome laugh at his joke. "You were gone all of one night before I started tearing the city apart! Haha" She looked up at him at this.
"Did I really hurt you that much?" Her eyes were so wide with grief and fear that he couldn't do anything but smile and hug her closer to him.
"Na....its not like i liked you that much anyway....!" *LOL* She laughed with him at that one and hit him playfully on the arm.
"Are you trying to make me laugh or just really mad?"
With a smirk Inuyasha answered, "Wouldn't you like to know!" Kagome stuck out her tounge at him. That was good. He had succesfully steered the conversation to a happier, lighter mood. "Oh hey! I was thinking after you get dressed and stuff we could go get some coffee or something and then go meet up with Sango and Miroku. They'll be dying to see you!" From Kagome's stunned and hopefull expression he could tell she hadn't expected any of them to be here, let alone all three! He nodded to show her he was telling the truth.
"WOW! That would be great!!!! Oh, does Mr. Olgadie still have his little coffee shop on the corner of 9th and 5th? (a/n I have NOOO clue how the names of the streets work so I just made up something that sounds half decent!!)
"Yep. I actually work there now at nights. He's still a great guy and helps me with my money."
"Taxes, those tricky beasts!" Kagome said with a smile.
"Damn right!" With that Inuyasha went over to the trunk filled with his clothes and then to the trunk filled with Sango's things. "Here. You can wear Sango's clothes unless you want to be stuck in those swets all day." Smilling, she nodded her thanks as he went over to the "kitchen" area. AKA the shelf covered with tons of different food cans,containers,boxes, and the BIG box that worked as a table along with all it's other uses.
Kagome turned and pulled the sheet they had hung up in the beginnng to make a dressing room for when they all stayed the night (a/n sort of like a shower curtain or like those changing rooms in hollister.... basically a big sheet hooked with rings on a poll that gets tied up in one corner to the wall to stay out of the way. it's opaque!)
While Kagome got changed, Inuyasha also got dressed into some kahki shorts and a black muscle shirt. He called both Sango and Miroku and asked them to meet him at the her apartment at twelve o'clock. He didn't tell them why. Looking back to where Kagome was changing, he smiled to himself.
'I've wished for years she would come back. But I always thought it would be akward between us, you know? But it's not. I feel like she's been here the whole time. Never in a million years did I think we could just drop off where we ended. But we have, sorta. I don't know......
We were so close and then she just dissapeared! I'm not stupid, I know what happened to her step-dad the night she ran away. How much he beat her and how much she hated him. Put two and two together. It's not that hard. What I don't understand is WHY. Why she thought she had to run away! I need to know. Sooner or later I will find out. Ahh well....I HUNGRY!!! All this thinking so early in the morning is hard on a man!
Smilling, Inu turned around and started pouring cereal in a bowel. He didn't know if she still like them but Kagome used to be obsessed with froot loops and luckily he liked them too so there were some here. (His fav. is corn pops at the moment) Adding milk and a spoon to each, he set them on the table.
"Kagome! What's taking so long!?! Your friggin food's getting soggy."
On the other side of the sheet/wall Kagome sighed. 'I wondered how long the sweetness was ganna last.....*laughs*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
WOAH~~~~~ I can't believe I wrote that mucH!!!! And I STILL have ideas! oh well, if i write it all now i won't have enough for a third chapter and that wouldn't be good now would it? *Whole crowed slowly shakes head at the same time* That's what I thougth! *Smirking* ANYWAY........umm.

Inuyasha instantly jumped back in surprise.
'What the hell! Who is this girl!! How does she know my name?!?'
He was about to go pounce on the girl to wake her up....She had some MAJOR explaining to do. But once he heard her voice, he couldn't get his feet to move. Sure it was a little deeper, and soft because she mumbled it in her sleep, but..oh he would remember that voice anytime!!!

"It's okay Yashie, "their" house isn't that far away, I'll be okay. Just get home and go to bed! We've got an early morning tomorrow right?"

He shook his head. Better just to wake her up and ask her. So, he gently took a hold of both her shoulders and shook her lightly.
"Hey. Hey girl, wake up okay? Please? I gotta see who you are." Wow. Great job on the vocals there Inuyasha! Mentally smacking himself on the head, he tried again.
"Umm...I have food........." HAHA!!! Well, it was worth a try. That sure would have woken ME up.
*******Kagome's Pov***********
'Wwaahhhh....' What, who's shaking me?
Before she opened her eyes, Kagome tried to remember where she was. 'Umm...The City!!! That's right. I went home! Well..then who's shaking me? Didn't I go to bed in the tree house?' Bolting awake, Kagome sat up as fast as a girl could after sleeping for 9 hours.
"What!!? Oh my god!" There was someone there! A really cute guy to be exact. Shirtless, he was sitting at the edge of her matress. Or well, had been. He sort of moved back when she suddenly shot awake.
"OH MY GOD!!" she repeated, "I am sooo sorry, I thought this place was empty. See my friends and I used to stay here a lot when we were kids and I thougth maybe no one was using it......." A pair of strong tan arms gripped her shoulders and effectivly got her to stop rambling. Slowly, she looked up into the face of the guy that had woken her up for the first time. Her breath left her in a second. She gasped as her heart literally stopped beating. She just stayed like that, sitting up in the old ratty matress, shoulders held by the guy that woke her up, as she just stared into his eyes, for what seemed like forever.
"Inuyasha?" she wispered.
"It's you isn't it? It's really you!!!!" Suddenly Kagome was pulled into a fierce hug by the man in front of her. "HAHAHA" Inuyasha stated laughing out of pure joy. He couldn't help it! He had been waiting for this day ever since she'd left five years ago!!!!
Pulling back, he staired at her. Her eyes were a little puffed from just waking up and her hair was all tossed around, but it was her. He had slepped with Kagome all night!
Kagome was in too much shock to really do anything. I mean here I was dreaming about the same boy that had always haunted her dreams, and now he was sitting right in front of me!!! It was a miracle! Kagome started to cry, she didn't know why she had come home. 'I guess a part of me has always wanted to come back.' But no matter what she had never let herself think that her friends might be there too. Now she was here and so was Inuyasha.
Inuyasha must have figured out she was just really overwehlmed, which she was, and move to sit near her until she finished crying. He had always hated it when she cried and had done everything in his power to figure out what could make her feel better each time. He had gotten pretty good at it before she had left. 'Not that I cried that much.....'
Without even thinking about it, Inuyasha started to run his hands through her hair as he let her lean onto his shoulder and sort of cuddle into his side. His chest was getting kind of wet with all her tears but he didn't care. He wasn't even thinking about it.
"Shhh. It's okay Kagome. Your here now. Wow. You sure do know how to make a guy figure how much he likes you! Just run away and let him think of you for a few days and your set!" He could feel more than hear Kagome laugh at his joke. "You were gone all of one night before I started tearing the city apart! Haha" She looked up at him at this.
"Did I really hurt you that much?" Her eyes were so wide with grief and fear that he couldn't do anything but smile and hug her closer to him.
"Na....its not like i liked you that much anyway....!" *LOL* She laughed with him at that one and hit him playfully on the arm.
"Are you trying to make me laugh or just really mad?"
With a smirk Inuyasha answered, "Wouldn't you like to know!" Kagome stuck out her tounge at him. That was good. He had succesfully steered the conversation to a happier, lighter mood. "Oh hey! I was thinking after you get dressed and stuff we could go get some coffee or something and then go meet up with Sango and Miroku. They'll be dying to see you!" From Kagome's stunned and hopefull expression he could tell she hadn't expected any of them to be here, let alone all three! He nodded to show her he was telling the truth.
"WOW! That would be great!!!! Oh, does Mr. Olgadie still have his little coffee shop on the corner of 9th and 5th? (a/n I have NOOO clue how the names of the streets work so I just made up something that sounds half decent!!)
"Yep. I actually work there now at nights. He's still a great guy and helps me with my money."
"Taxes, those tricky beasts!" Kagome said with a smile.
"Damn right!" With that Inuyasha went over to the trunk filled with his clothes and then to the trunk filled with Sango's things. "Here. You can wear Sango's clothes unless you want to be stuck in those swets all day." Smilling, she nodded her thanks as he went over to the "kitchen" area. AKA the shelf covered with tons of different food cans,containers,boxes, and the BIG box that worked as a table along with all it's other uses.
Kagome turned and pulled the sheet they had hung up in the beginnng to make a dressing room for when they all stayed the night (a/n sort of like a shower curtain or like those changing rooms in hollister.... basically a big sheet hooked with rings on a poll that gets tied up in one corner to the wall to stay out of the way. it's opaque!)
While Kagome got changed, Inuyasha also got dressed into some kahki shorts and a black muscle shirt. He called both Sango and Miroku and asked them to meet him at the her apartment at twelve o'clock. He didn't tell them why. Looking back to where Kagome was changing, he smiled to himself.
'I've wished for years she would come back. But I always thought it would be akward between us, you know? But it's not. I feel like she's been here the whole time. Never in a million years did I think we could just drop off where we ended. But we have, sorta. I don't know......
We were so close and then she just dissapeared! I'm not stupid, I know what happened to her step-dad the night she ran away. How much he beat her and how much she hated him. Put two and two together. It's not that hard. What I don't understand is WHY. Why she thought she had to run away! I need to know. Sooner or later I will find out. Ahh well....I HUNGRY!!! All this thinking so early in the morning is hard on a man!
Smilling, Inu turned around and started pouring cereal in a bowel. He didn't know if she still like them but Kagome used to be obsessed with froot loops and luckily he liked them too so there were some here. (His fav. is corn pops at the moment) Adding milk and a spoon to each, he set them on the table.
"Kagome! What's taking so long!?! Your friggin food's getting soggy."
On the other side of the sheet/wall Kagome sighed. 'I wondered how long the sweetness was ganna last.....*laughs*
