Chapter 19: Sweet Dreams
Lying in bed for hours, Kagome never actually went to sleep. She just stared up at the ceiling sadly.
Around midnight, after she was sure that everyone else was asleep, Kagome slipped out of bed. Creeping over to her door she opened it quietly and stepped out.
Padding down the halls softly, Kagome made her way to the main hall, where Inuyasha was…
Walking in she saw him. Lying there just as he had been yesterday. The white rays of moonlight lit up the area around him like he were a god.
A tear trickled down Kagome's cheek as she walked over and kneeled down next to him. He was so still…
Kagome just sat there for several minutes, staring at his lifeless body as if she were dreaming. And then her shoulders slummed as she cried silently.
It was all her fault… It was because of her that Inuyasha had gone to the Southern lands in the first place. It was because of her that he had to fight Izumo.
If only things were different, if only he could have survived a little longer. No matter how evident it was, Kagome just couldn't bring herself to believe that Inuyasha was gone.
Staring at his emotionless face Kagome reached out her hand and touched his cheek. No sooner had her hand made contact with his cold skin, did it retract with fear.
"Why did you have to leave me Inuyasha!" she cried kneeling over banging on his chest. "You could have it least taken me with you…" she whispered as she slumped down. The truth was, she was exhausted. "I loved you…" were her last words as she fell asleep by his side, her hand on his arm.

-DREAM-
If there were many tears falling down,
Every heart would become gentle.
Kagome sat, alone, crying her eyes out. Inuyasha was her world, and when he died, she felt as if, inside she died with him.
And as if, every teardrop that fell from her eyes, was another memory of him, reminding her of how much she missed him. How much she wanted him back…
If everybody expresses what they think,
Every heart can be satisfied.
There were so many words left unspoken. So many things she meant to say to him, to prove to him.
But now it was too late. He words would forever remain unspoken. Never reaching the ears of the one they were truly meant for.
I was frightened by the never ending night,
So I prayed to the distant stars.
Rubbing her tear soaked eyes Kagome looked around her. Everything was so very dark. Is this what it felt like? To know that you've lost the most important person in the world to you?
Well, if it was.. Or even if it wasn't, Kagome didn't like it… It frightened her to feel so alone. "Kami, please…" Kagome rasped "I'm begging you, give him back to me. That's all I want… I just wish I could see him again, hear him again.." she sobbed out loud .
In endlessly repeating time,
We were searching for love,
Because we wanted to become stronger.
"I just don't know what to do anymore.." Kagome whispered to no one, looking down at the ground.
Never, not in a million years would she ever find some one she loved as much as Inuyasha. Never….
He was the reason she was able to keep herself together after her father's death. He was the reason she wouldn't give up on life when she was held captive in the Southern lands. He was the reason she ventured out the dangerous center region.
He was her strength…. And know he was gone, her stability, her will, her courage, gone with him…
We look up to the far away sky.
And then everything changed. Suddenly it wasn't so dark anymore. And instead of staring up into a dark void, Kagome was peering into clear blue skies.
'Is that where you are now, Inuyasha?' Kagome questioned in her mind. 'If I go there, will I find you?' she sighed. 'My wish, my dream, is just to be with you again, happy…'.
The two of us, smiling, meet here,
Every heart has a habit of receiving its dreams.
Sadness had no effect on us,
Every heart gains happiness when it flies.
"Kagome…?". Came voice from behind Kagome. Whirling around Blue gray met Golden as she was once again, looking into the eyes of the one she thought she had lost…
"Inu.. yasha.." Kagome whispered, afraid that if she spoke to loud, he'd disappear. Kagome but her lip and then smiled "Inuyasha!" she cried wrapping her arms around his neck and hugging him.
"Kagome, it's so good to see you." Inuyasha replied hugging her back, and taking comfort in her warmth.
Someday our souls will untie,
We will give peaceful approval.
"I'm so glad to be with you again. You don't know how horrible it's been with out you. I thought I'd never get over I-" Inuyasha pressed his finger to Kagome's lips, cutting her off.
"I know you have a lot to say, but there isn't much time…" Inuyasha spoke a hint of sorrow evident in his eyes. Kagome stared at him for a moment "Well, what is it?" she asked a little in confusion.
"Kagome, we're meant to be together. Our souls will be connected, by an unbreakable bound some day soon. Would you mind that? Do you want to be with me?" he asked seriously.
Kagome smiled and rested her head on his chest. "Yes, I do want to be with you. Forever…"
In endlessly repeating time,
We know why we are living.
We go through the night time laughing,
Both of us are morning, yet we walk on.
"You'll have to go soon." Inuyasha said his voice hinting remorse. "What?" Kagome asked lifting her head up in alarm. Inuyasha looked down at her and smiled a little. "You'll be waking up soon." He replied calmly.
"But I don't want to go. I don't want to wake up. Can't I just stay with you!?" Kagome asked in an urging voice.
Inuyasha blinked away a tear "I know you've missed me, Kagome. And I've missed you too. Trust me, I've missed you so much it hurts."
He paused. "But Kagome, you're still alive, you still have to live life, to the fullest, be string, if not for yourself, than for me.." he finished.
Memories of everything have settled,
This is a warm place to be.
The stars separate us from the future,
We are always so brilliant,
So shine…
Tears once again pricked at the corners of Kagome's eyes. Frowning a little Inuyasha reached down and wiped them away. "Please keep smiling Kagome" he pleased looking into her eyes.
Kagome sighed, but when he looked at her with those warm golden eyes, she couldn't help but smile and melt into his comforting embrace.
"Maybe not right now Kagome. But soon, we'll be together again, I promise" Inuyasha said resting his chin on the top of her head, and taking in her sweet scent.
Soon though, everything started to get brighter for Kagome. Pulling back a little from Inuyasha, Kagome watched as he began to disappear. "Inuyasha!" she cried grabbing for him, but getting nothing but air.
Inuyasha smiled "It's ok Kagome, you'll see me again. Until then, just remember, you're more precious to me, than the most priceless jewel in the world, so show everyone how brilliant you are, and shine…" He spoke as he faded off into the light.
In endlessly repeating time we were searching for love,Because we wanted to become stronger.
We look up to the far away sky.
In endlessly repeating time we know why we are living,
We go through the night time laughing.
Both of us are mourning, yet we walk on.
-END DREAM-

"Inuyasha!" Kagome called out as she woke up with a start. But turning and looking to her left, she was greeted with the same, lifeless Inuyasha that was there before she fell asleep.
It was already morning. It was the second day of viewing. "That means tomorrow is the last day before.." Kagome trailed of as she looked at Inuyasha.
(Quote Kagome: chapter 7)
'Besides dreams are sent to you by the gods. If you ask me, every dream has a special and specific meaning to it.' Kagome thought to herself. 'I said that to Inuyasha myself. So, maybe, the dream I just had-' Kagome's thoughts were cut short as she heard some noise coming in her direction.
'That must have been a long dream, there are people already awake!' Kagome thought hastily as she scrambled up and took off for her room.
At her door now, Kagome opened it quietly, stepped inside the room, and then closed it again. Slipping into bed Kagome pulled her covers over herself and pretended to be asleep 'I haven't lost hope yet, Inuyasha…'

A/N- Well, there ya go, chapter 19. I really didn't expect this story to make it to chapter 20, but alas, it might actually make it to chapter 21, maybe. I'll just post this chapter really quick, and then get started chapter 20.
This chapter was inspired by Ayrith because she's been meaning to catch up on this story for months, and now she it caught up. Yay! (she is also going to kill me next time she sees me because I killed Inu… meep o.o)
