Chapter 9 - Dreams

I slowly opened my eye's to see the sun on my eyes.

" Big sissy, I'm hungery," Kyo stated from my arms as I looked down at him with a smile. I placed a kiss on Sesshomaru's nose and slowly wiggled out of his embrace with Kyo in my arms.

" What do you want to eat?" I questioned as he jumped ou of my arms and into the kitchen.

" Eggs and toast please!" he stated giving me a sad smile as I patted him on the head. I got out the things I needed and started to cook right when I looked over to see Sesshomaru leaning up against the door frame with his arms crossed.

" Good morning," I chirped as he smiled at me.

" Morning love," he said as Kyo pulled slightly on his pants to get his attention. He kneeled down and picked the young child up and craddeled him in his arms, " what is it?"

" Are you going to be my new big brother?" he questioned as I started to giggle from where I stood by the oven.

" Hai," Sesshomaru said as Kyo smiled widely.

" Does that mean daddy as well?" Kyo questioned and Sesshomaru looked at me strangely, " nee-chan said that once she settles down that she is going to fight to get custidy for me, whatever that means. I don't like living her with my real mommy, she hits me," he stated as Sesshomaru rubbed his back.

" If Kagome said it then it will be done," he said as I looked at him shocked. I thought I would have had to beg him to let me but he was agreeing with me.

' You owe me,' he mouthed and I couldn't help but laugh as I put our food on the table and we all sat down to eat.

" I have yet another party to go to today, will you join me?" Sesshomaru questioned looking at me.

" Sure," I said as he smiled. I heard the door unlock and I ran into the livingroom to see my mother looking wasted.

" Hello dear," she stated with a smile.

" Don't hello dear me mother, what do you think you are doing going out ever night getting drunk? Kyo needs you hear, I can't keep coming home like this just to see if you are taking care of him," I yelled as she leaned against the wall for support.

" Shut up," she hissed closing her eye's.

" You've changed so much mother, what happened to you?" I questioned.

" You happened to me bitch, you always left me alone by myself with my father and then he dies," she stated saddly.

" Get over the past mom, that happened two years ago, your not stable enough to handle a kid, your always going out with your friends, getting waisted, what next? You gonna have sex with strange men?" I hissed trying to keep my voice down.

" I would never!" she argued.

" Would never my ass mother, your drunk every night because of what happened two years ago, let go of the past and embrace the future, isn't that what you always told me? I want my little brother to grow up with a normal childhood and you can't give him that," I argued as she smacked me.

" What are you going to do about it?" she hissed pushing me back.

" When the time comes I will take him away from you, there's nothing you can do to stop me," I stated about to walk away when I felt her grab me, digging her nails into my wrist causing blood to spill onto the floor.

" You keep saying this but I see no action, when are you going to take him Kagome?" she stated as I gritted my teeth in pain.

" Now," I heard someone say from behind me andi turned to see Sesshomaru with a frightened Kyo hiding behind him. My mother released me right when she passed out cold from the sake. The least I could do was put her on the couch and that what I did as we walked out the door.

" Why did you help me?" I questioned as Sesshomaru kissed me on the forehead.

" I couldn't let my fiance get hurt," he said as I instant transmissioned all three of us to headquaters.

" Kagome!" I heard someone yell as I turned around to see Shippo.

" Hey baby," I said as he hugged me.

" I missed you, I thought you said you were going to be coming back last night," he said letting me go.

" I ran into a few things," I said looking up at Sesshomaru.

" What's Kyo doing here?" Shippo asked as Kyo jumped into his arms.

" Big brother!" he said as Shippo kissed his forehead. He could smell the alcohol on him and bothered not to ask why he was there with us.

" You want me to get Kaoru to take care of him for awhile?" he asked as I nodded.

" Just for tonight," I said as he nodded. I took Sesshomaru to my room as he willed a dress to appear in his hands.

" Take a shower and put this dress on," he said handing me the light blue dress. I smiled at him and kissed his lips.

" Thanks," I said making my way to the shower. Once inside I quickly took a shower and placed a towel around my body as I dried my hair. I styled it with the part on the side as I brush my teeth and do my make up. Once done with that I put on the dress that falls to my knees. I walk out of the bathroom to find Sesshomaru in his human form once again wearing a black tuxedo with Inu Yasha leaning against the wall.

" You look gorgeous," Sesshomaru says walking up to me placing a kiss on my forehead.

" Thanks," I said as I put on my white dress shoes.

" You'll be singing two songs tonight," Sesshomaru imformed me as we walked out the door with Inu Yasha fallowing us.

" What songs?" I questioned as he whispered them in my ear so Inu Yasha can't hear. I giggle alittle as we enter the limo and it drives off to the ball. The only problem was is that Inu Yasha didn't get the memo that you had to have a date. He explained his situation and they aloud him to pass as I almost doubled over from laughing so much.

" It's not funny Kag," he said leaning up against the wall as I walked up on to the stage. It was already set up for the songs I was going to sing so I took my place at the microphone and started to sing. The song was Tangerine Dreams by Do as Infinity.

~trying to sleep in a noisy city

There's no expression on my face, as I lift my neck with uneasiness

Tying to catch dreams and wishes~



I watch as Inu Yasha's eyes open in suprise as he watches Kikyo walk through the door, a small smile graces her lips as she greets the person at the door. She walks to the other side of the room and leans up against the wall with a short sigh.

~If I chase them, how far will I have to go to feel them?

I can't escape this time twice

Stoping and crying..

..Things like that always happen, don't they?~

Inu Yasha looks at her just when she turns to look at him. He see's something in her eye's that he hadn't seen in over 50 years, they hold true emotion in them. She smiles a sad smile at him as she looks at the ground.

~Suddenly I notice that I'm scared

I'm getting used to the repetition of my usual days

Earnestly seeking, yet [in the process] being hurt

At that time..~

I watch as I see Inu Yasha finally get up the nerve to go up to her. They exchange in alittle chit chat and then something unexpected happened. He took her hand in his and led her to the dance floor. They smile warmly at each other before they start to dance.

~We were running away and shaking

"Were you okay?" Was asked on the other side of the phone

Your voice always gave me courage

Smiles, tears, everything..

..Is being caught for life in the future

Someday, one day..

We'll reach our wishes..

If we just believe~

I watch as they get lost in each others eye's as they don't stop danceing and don't notice that I have switched to the song My Immortal by Evanescence. I can see tears streaming down Kikyo's face as she dances with her lost love, I can tell Inu Yasha feels the same way because right when I end the somg he kisses her and Sesshomaru walks up to me placing a hand on my shoulder.

" You think we did the right thing?" he questioned as I looked up at him.

" If you mean bringing back the real Kikyo with the Shikon No Tama then yes, I believe we did the right thing, they look so happy together, everyone deserves someone to love," I said as Sesshomaru lead me to the dance floor. We seemed to dance the night away until it was over and we walked over to the new couple.

" Kagome, thank you so much!" he stated hugging me. I hugged him back as Kikyo smiled at me warmly. Once Inu Yasha was done hugging me she did the same.

" I'm in your debt, I'm glad you brought me back to be with Inu Yasha," she stated wipping a tear away from her eye.

" You won't be in my debt if you do one thing for me," I said with a smile as she looked as me confused.

" What would that be?" she asked.

" Don't break his heart agian," I say with as smile as Sesshomaru tightens his hold around my waist.

" Never again," she said turning to Inu Yasha. She hugs him and we walk away to give them some time to catch up.
