Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha, or whatever song will end up going with this story.
I kno u guys seem to have a lot of expectations for this story and where it's going, which is making it so hard to write this b/c I feel I'm going to end up disappointing all of u wonderful people who reviewed. Sadly though, I'll have to go w/ my original idea, because it's the only way I can write it. I know there are lots of other possibilities, but none that I, myself, can write. So, I hope I don't disappoint u guys too much.

Kagome slowly made her way down the busy street that lead to her school. Her eyelids hung heavy and she felt light headed. It really wasn't that much of a surprise to her. She hadn't slept since she had woken up...
Still Dreaming
By Endless Moonlight
Kagome slid into her seat in homeroom, glad to sit. She was feeling weaker than normal, but that will happen to you from lack of sleep. She rested her head on one of her hands and ignored the concerned looks she was getting from her three friends.
She stared at a piece of paper that had been handed to her and watched as her eyes unfocused whenever she tried to read it. She had to blink a few times to focus them again. It was about a school fundraiser or something. She decided she didn't really care and focused on the paper until the bell rang and made her jump up and remember she had to go to first period.
Just as she was about to turn down the hall and head to her class someone tapped her on the shoulder. "Kagome," Eri started. "Didn't you hear? They called your name over the announcements. Your supposed to go to the counselor." Kagome nodded and Aumi saw the expression change a little.
"They probably messed your schedule for next year up and now you have to take homec instead of art or something."
"Yeah," Yuka agreed. "They did that to me twice last year." Kagome turned and headed to the councilor while Yuka told her story heading in the opposite direction.
Kagome slowly opened the door to the small cream colored office and stepped inside. There were seemingly random objects on the desk of a person who was not there. There were too uncomfortable looking chairs placed in front of it, and a cushy one behind it. "Um...hello?"
"Are you Kagome?" A voice said from behind causing her to jump a little.
"Uhh, yeah." She said turning around to face an older looking woman with a long face and glasses hanging around her neck by a chain.
"Please step inside." The women's voice seemed strangely soothing to her as she fully opened the door guiding Kagome in, and into one of the hard chairs in front of the desk. Then she drifted over to the other chair behind the desk.
"If you don't mind me asking, why am I here" Kagome said a little nervously.
"Well, some of the teachers have noticed that you've been a little off the past few days and were worried." She said clasping her hands together and leaning towards Kagome over her desk.
"I'm fine." Kagome said focusing on staying awake. It was harder in a chair, even if it was extremely hard.
"Are you sure?" The woman persisted. "No family problems? You can tell me anything."
"No, I'm fine." The she saw the disbelief in the women's eyes and added, "Really. I just stayed up to late studying last night so I'm a little tire...that's all." Kagome felt bad about lying, but there really wasn't much else she could do. I wasn't like she could just say she thought she might be crazy. Thinking your dreams are real is crazy...isn't it?

"Hey Kagome!" Aumi said jogging up to her followed by the two others that belonged to the trio that was never separated.
"Hi, what're you guys doing?" Kagome asked. She would have yawned, but she was so tired she couldn't even seem to do that anymore.
"We're making sure you get home okay." Eri said once she caught up, Yuka bye her side.
"I can get home just fine. I don't need you guys to take me to my house!" Kagome said annoyed by their persistence. She just wanted everyone to leave her alone.
"No way Kagome!" Yuka said getting in her face. "We worried about you and we're going with you whether you like it or not!" Kagome was about to speak when Aumi spoke again.
"You look like you're about to collapse Kagome..." It was true...she felt it. After that she just gave in. She was starting to get a headache.
"Fine." She sighed. And then began to walk home with her friends following her. It was a good thing too because she wasn't thinking straight anymore and could hardly remember the way back to her house. She could hardly keep her eyes open and when they were open everything seemed fuzzy. Her head was spinning and she could feel herself losing her balance. The next thing she knew she was falling to the ground and everything was black...

Kagome lay awake, where she wasn't sure just yet. A hospital maybe? She felt as if she had been sleeping for a long time. She started to sit up but felt a shooting pain in her side and then a strong hand push her back down.
"K-Kagome?" A voice said nervously. Kagome's eyes shot open. She knew that voice. She tried to sit up, but was once again forced back down. "Don't get up." The voice was soft and gentle, full of concern. Kagome turned to face the person speaking.
"Inuyasha..." She breathed. "What am I doing here ?" Inuyasha could hear the panic rising in her voice. "I thought this was a dream, that's what every one told me. You-your not real and-"
"Kagome!" Yet another familiar voice yelled. The next thing she knew she was face to face with Shippo, who was sitting on her chest with a big smile on his face. "I'm so glad your awake!" He was about to hug her when Inuyasha grabbed him by the tail.
"Get offa her!" He yelled as he tossed the kit aside. Just then Miroku and Sango entered the room.
"Kagome, Your awake" Miroku said towering over her. Sango came over and knelt by her friend on the opposite side Inuyasha was, Shippo now on her shoulder.
"You've been asleep for over three days now. We were all so worried." Sango took a quick glance at the hanyou who hadn't left Kagome's side since the battle with Naraku. Kagome didn't like the feeling of looking up at all of them and tried to move to a sitting position once more but was yet again pushed down by the same firm but gentle clawed hand as before.
"Inuyasha!" She said moving his hand off of her. "I want to sit-*crash* up..." Then she turned to see Inuyasha's face planted into the ground. "I'm sorry...I didn't mean to..."
"Feh." Inuyasha just sat up like nothing had happened. Kagome stared at him for a second. Why didn't he care? "You'll only hurt yourself if u try to sit up." He said annoyed, not meeting her questioning gaze.
Kagome looked at him for a moment before ignoring his advice and attempting to get up anyway. Inuyasha winced a little as he saw her grab her side in pain, but continue to bring herself to a sitting position against the wall of the hut they seemed to be in. She looked around and saw all of her friends worried looks. "I'm fine. Really." She tried to convince them.
"I told you you'd hurt yourself." Inuyasha muttered. Kagome just sighed and turned her gaze from Inuyasha to the rest of the group.
"What am I doing here?" She asked.
