((my notes in story))

"spoken"

'thought'

*one's OTHER voice in head* (like when arguing with one's self )

~voice talking to Kagome~ (if I tell you more I will be giving it away!!!)

********** flash back marks

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 7: Of Dreams, Paths and Youkai

Kagome stared into the Darkness surrounding her, every where she looked she saw nothing but black "where?"

~we are within your mind~ a soft voice echoed around her

Kagome turned around trying to see who was talking to no avail "who are you!"

A soft chuckle ~never mind who I am, for now~

Kagome suddenly was standing amidst the trees of a forest. "Where am I now?" Kagome turned her head as she heard voices her eyes widening as she saw who it was.

Inuyasha walked in front of the group with his arms crossed, behind him walked Miroku, who had a fresh red hand print on his cheek, after them were Sango and Kagome talking while Shippo and Kirara ran around at their feet.

Kagome gasped as she covered her mouth in shock 'I remember this! It was almost a month ago! Inuyasha and I just had a fight.... As usual. We were heading to that town which was being terrorized by that bird demon! But what??'

A soft laugh ~this is nothing but a memory of the past... those you walk beside and those who walk beside you~

Kagome's eyes lingered on Inuyasha as he walked seeming not to care about those walking behind him.

Sango and the other Kagome laughed as Shippo made faces at them.

Kagome watched her past self laugh. Kagome then turned towards Inuyasha and she blinked surprised. Inuyasha was looking over his shoulder at her laughing past self with a soft smile. "he..."

~he often watches you when you do not see him.... And to young are you to consciously since it ....~

Kagome watched as Inuyasha quickly turned forward again just before her past self looked up at him.

~As you said. You are leading two lives, one among the trees and demons,~

Suddenly the environment changed and Kagome was looking at herself talking to her friends in the court yard of her school. The four girls laughed at some distant joke.

~and the other of concrete and tests.~

Kagome's eyes widened slightly "and this was earlier today....."

~no one can live two lives. One day the time will come when you will have to choose.~

Kagome frowned "I don't understand."

~you....will.....~

----------------------------------

Kagome sat up abruptly "what the?" she rubbed her eyes 'what is that dream supposed to mean? Why would I need to choose?' she shook her head and looked over to her clock '4:25...... shesh too early to think!!' she promptly plopped back down on her bed and drifted back to sleep.

----------------------------------

The birds sang happily outside, as an alarm rang inside Kagome's eyes blinked open and then glared over to her ringing clock '6:10 .....' she sighed as she sat up and turned off the alarm.

'man.....' she stood up and started to pull out her clothes as she ran her fingers through her hair ' I did not mean to sound so harsh let alone actually hurt him .... Shit....' She frowned 'we can't seem to get through one conversation with out fighting.....' she sighed 'He sounded so ....... Out of it.....man.... I should go through the well when I get home from school and apologize to him.....' nodding her head determinedly she walked down stares for breakfast the dream all but forgotten.

----------------------------------

Inuyasha stared at the well from his perch in a nearby tree 'she does not want me around her' his ears drooped

*she does not want you to drag her back here*

'kuz she does not want to be around me.....'

*......that can't be it.......she always comes back....*

'Only for them!!.... I am .....just a ..... half-breed.......' ((them = Sango, Miroku, Shippo))

*...............*

----------------------------------

Kagome grabbed her last piece of toast and ran out the door "by mom!"

"Have a good day!!" Kagome's mom shouted just be fore hearing the door slam.

Kagome ran out the door and with a quick glance to the well, ran down the steps and off to school never noticing the dark figure that shadowed her movements.

----------------------------------

Inuyasha muttered to himself incoherently while still perched in the same tree. Sango and Miroku shook there heads. Sango, who was holding a basket of food, called up to Inuyasha "hey! We brought you breakfast!"

Inuyasha glared down at them "leave me alone!"

Sango and Miroku looked at each other and Miroku sighed "perhaps we should just let him be...."

Sango nodded and placed the basket on the ground at the foot of the tree "I will leave this for you." They both headed off back towards the village "do you think he will be alright?"

Miroku edged closer to her "yes he will be fine. He and Kagome will make up and be at each others throats again in no time!"

Sango just stared at him "well..... I just hope things get back to normal again....."

Miroku nodded inching closer to her.

----------------------------------

Inuyasha looked down at the basket. Jumping down he rummaged through it and munched most of it quickly.

"PERVERT!!!!" BAM!!!! ((this is Sango by the way))

Inuyasha's ears twitched towards the sound and smirked slightly. 'I would think he would learn better than that'

*you haven't*

Inuyasha blinked 'what?'

*you still piss Kagome off despite the "sits"*

Inuyasha crossed his arms 'hn! Someone has to put her in her place!'

The voice sighed *right....well what are you going to do about her?*

He sighed dejectedly '............. Go back'

*even if you get sat again?*

'yea....' He mumbled "I probably will" his ears twitched agitatedly 'I will just have to wait for the right time to talk to her' he jumped off the branch 'course she WILL apologize for sitting me when I did nothing!!' he added quickly and leaped into the well.

He jumped out of the well softly landing next to the steps, he started out of the well house then stopped and growled at the door he had run into the day prior

*Still insisting it attacked you?* the voice laughed

'it did!! I-' Inuyasha stopped as he sniffed the air 'a demon!?' he scowled as he tried to follow the faint scent and by the way he was failing miserably. "I thought there were no youkai in this time!!?"

*we should stay close to Kagome*

'should try to track down this stench first!' Inuyasha then started jumping around the area sniffing the ground.

----------------------------------

Inuyasha had been wandering around the shrine for over two hours and had yet to catch a whiff of any thing that even remotely resembled a demon. Inuyasha sat there crouched on the ground with his nose sniffing the ground. Inuyasha's eye twitched as he growled "HOW CAN IT HIDE IT'S SCENT THIS WELL!!!!!"

Kagome's mother walked over to him "what are you doing dear? You have been wandering around for quite some time now!"

Inuyasha stiffened slightly 'what am I supposed to say? I can't admit that I can't even track properly! She will never trust me to watch over Kagome again!!!'

As Inuyasha fidgeted uncomfortably Kagome's mom looked down at him "having trouble smelling some thing?" she smiled a sweet motherly smile "it is probably all the pollution in the air." She sighed "I am sure it would mess with your senses some."

Inuyasha studied her for a moment 'is she making fun of me?!'

*she may be giving you an easy way to keep your pride intact...*

Inuyasha stood up and crossed his arms "hn! For a moment I could have sworn I smelt a youkai"

Kagome's mom frowned "I see. And you could not locate it?"

Inuyasha scowled 'I KNEW it!! Now she is going to BELITTLE ME!!!'

The lady sighed "I suppose this means you should go to the mall....." she then turned around and headed back towards the house

Inuyasha faltered barley keeping himself from falling over he quickly steadied his footing, his mouth still hanging open 'wha? Mall?' he blinked then ran after her "WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!!!??"

She stopped as she opened the door "well if you are going to stay close to Kagome you will need to ware clothes from this time" she said as if it was obvious. She walked in with Inuyasha right behind her, Inuyasha still staring at her as if she had flipped. "Inuyasha you stay here I will be down in a minute!" She then skipped up the stares. ((SKIPPED!!!??? O_o))

Inuyasha was in shock 'she did not make fun of me for not being able to track it?'

*she is human..... Perhaps you spending over two hours trying for the sake of Kagome's safety meant more to her?.....*

'..... Remind me again HOW you are a part of me?'

It did not take long for her to return holding a small mound of clothing in her hands and a hat on her head. "ok now lets see if any of these will fit you!" she giggled 'time to play dress up!' ((you know what? I think I want some of what ever she is on lol O_o;; jk))

Inuyasha stared at her "what?" he blinked confusedly

"well" she said placing the clothes on the couch "you can't go out looking like that! You will draw to much attention. So you will ware this while you go get some clothes that fit!" she smiled at him as she looked at him then a few of the pants she had brought down

Inuyasha stared at her "I should just stay hidden and close to Kagome!"

"well it is not to likely she will be harmed at school..... I dowt any demon would want to draw that amount of attention." She picked up some pants and held them up to Inuyasha nodding she said "with a belt these will fit fine" picking up a shirt the held it up to him, shook her head and picked up another and nodded. "Here put these on" she handed him the pare of khakis and the red polo shirt. "If you need help just tell me!"

He snorted as he took the clothes "hn I am not a pup! I can dress my self!" he walked over to the bath room to change. After fumbling with the buttons on the shirt and jeans he eventually managed to clothe himself after almost 20 minutes he stepped out of the bathroom holding his pants up with one hand for, although they were to short, the waist was to large for him and in the other hand resided Tetsusaiga.

Kagome's mom smiled as she handed him a belt "here use this to keep them up"

Inuyasha looked at it oddly then started to try to tie it around his waist "it is not long enough" he mumbled.

She laughed "you are not supposed to tie it!" giggle "here let me show you"

Inuyasha glared at her for laughing at him but allowed her to thread the belt through the loops on the paints. 'oh..... I see.....'

She buckled the belt and stepped back to admire her handy work. "There!"

Inuyasha stood one hand still holding his sword, ((O_o;;; am I the only one who thinks I say some REALY perverted things accidentally!?)) while the other hung at his side. The pants made him look like he had not gone shopping in a while and the shirt in his normal red color hung loosely on his frame looking almost like he was a kid wareing his fathers clothes. His ears twitch uncomfortably "do I have to ware THIS!?"

She smiled "it will work." She plopped the sandals down in front of him "these will probably bother you but you have to ware some kind of shoe!" she said while looking down at his bare feet. She then grinned as she pulled the baseball cap off her head and plopped it on his. "This should cover your ears for now.... Although one that hangs down to cover a human's ears would work better but I do not have one"

He quickly snatched the hat off his head "I WILL NOT WEAR THIS!"

She smiled softly "I am sure it will be uncomfortable but you can't walk around with your ears showing! Your silver hair will draw a lot of attention as it is!"

Inuyasha crossed his arms as best as he could considering he still had the Tetsusaiga in his hand "hn! They can deal!"

She scowled at the grumpy hanyou "and if you following her around draws attention from other demons?"

He stiffened 'you mean.... what if I put her in more danger' he grumbled as he plopped the hat back on his head "feh! Whatever!"

She smiled 'any thing for Kagome' she turned and pulled out her purse and rummaging through it pulled out several bills and held them out to Inuyasha "ok here take these. This is the money of our time this is $230 ((yea American)) spend it well and get yourself some stuff to ware!" ((O_o why did she have THAT much cash on her? AN/ I know... I know NOTHING about yen so I did it this way))

Inuyasha stared at her as he took the money "why?"

She smiled "just think of this as me insuring the safety of my little Kagome! And you too for that mater! I am sure the government would be interested in why you have dog ears!" she turned and started drawing on a piece of paper which she then handed to him "this will get you to the mall just follow it!" she looked at the sword "here" she put her hand out "I will watch your sword for you"

Inuyasha jumped away from her "WHAT!? NO WAY!!"

She frowned "people in this time do not take carrying swords around lightly. If you get in trouble you will not be able to help Kagome" she stepped towards him and put out her hand.

Inuyasha stared at her "NO! What if I get attacked!!??"

She sighed "pick up a long coat while you are there you will be able to hide your katana in it. But for now it is best if you leave it here." She reached out and slipped the sword from his hand

"but....." Inuyasha tried to protest

She just smiled as she shoved him out the door "now, now just go!!" she waved to him as he walked towards the stairs.
