Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha. I'm not stealing Inuyasha, so please don't steal my story line. I think it's very original.

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.
Still Dreaming
By Endless Moonlight
"You've been asleep for three days. We're in a hut in a village not too far from where Naraku's castle once stood." Sango explained.
"You...you mean you defeated Naraku? He's dead?" Kagome's eyes widened. They all just shook their heads sadly.
"The bastard ran before we got a chance." Inuyasha said angrily. "He took all the shards with him."
"After you were attacked we started to win over the demons." Miroku explained. "Naraku realized he couldn't win and ordered his poisonous insect to destroy the demons and take the shards."
"Yeah," Shippo added carefully moving into Kagome's lap. Inuyasha was about to grab him again when Kagome wrapped her arms around the kit for comfort. "They all circled us. I thought we were done for, but then they just left and all the demons were gone!"
"So...I've been asleep for three days?" Kagome repeated. That was how long she was...what could you call where she had been anyway? Was it a dream? Or was this the dream? It had all seemed so real, but so did this. Kagome became so lost in her thoughts she didn't even hear the answer to her question. Or notice everyone staring at the weird look on her face. She was snapped out of it when Inuyasha came close up to her face and stared at her.
"Are you feelin okay Kagome?" He said looking at her, concern shining through his golden orbs. Kagome just turned and looked at him for a long time. Then she took her hand and slowly touched his cheek to make sure he was real. That this was real. She snapped out of her daze when she felt his cheek grow warm as a small blush crept up on his face and she realized she had an audience. "Uhh, Kagome?"
"Um, I-I'm fine." She said pulling her hand away as if it burned and quickly turning her gaze towards the ground in attempt to hide her bright red cheeks. Inuyasha leaned back to his original position and gave her a disbelieving look.
"Well," Sango said standing up as she attempted to clear away the growing tension in the small hut. "Since your up, we might as well start making dinner. It's almost dark outside. "Miroku, why don't you and Shippo see if you can catch some more fish at the stream, and I'll gather some more wood for a fire okay?"
"But I want to stay with Kagome!" Shippo whined. "Can't I stay here and Inuyasha go?"
"But you did such a good job catching fish last night Shippo." Sango said in attempt to persuade him. "Are you saying you think Inuyasha could do a better job than you?" Shippo took a quick glance at Inuyasha who seemed slightly amused by the statement.
"Fine. I'll go." He slowly moved from Kagome's lap and towards the door where Sango stood.
"Have fun Shippo." Kagome said sweetly. Shippo turned around and looked at his adopted mother.
"I'll catch the biggest one for you!" Then he exited the hut with Sango and Miroku in tow, leaving Inuyasha and Kagome alone.
Once they were gone a deafening silence filled the small hut. Both Kagome and Inuyasha started to open their mouths to say something at the same time.
"Inuyasha-"
"Kagome-" Then there was another long pause. It was Inuyasha who finally decided to speak again. "Are you sure you're feeling okay Kagome? What were you talking about when you woke up?"
~flashback~
Inuyasha sat in the hut watching Kagome sleep...atleast he hoped that was all she was doing. Sleeping, something you wake up from. Then suddenly she started to sit up and he pushed her back down to make sure she didn't open her wound back up.
"K-Kagome?" He asked nervously, not sure if she was really awake or not. Kagome's eyes shot open, and she tried to sit up again, but he once again prevented her from doing so "Don't get up." His voice was soft and gentle, full of concern. He was surprised it was even his speaking. Then Kagome turned to face him.
"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-" Right then Shippo had burst into the room, preventing her from saying whatever it was she was about to say.
~flashback~
"I...I'm not sure..." She quietly started. "I was dreaming...I think, but it seemed so, so real..." She was staring at the ground.
"Do you not know what a dream is or somethin?" Inuyasha said sarcastically.
"What if this is a dream?" She said looking up at the now confused hanyou. "What if, that place...whatever you would call it, was real?"
"What are you talking about?" Inuyasha interrupted her thoughts.
"It was just like normal. There was no you, there was no jewel, it was like I never fell through the well." Inuyasha didn't like that idea. "Whenever I tried to explain that all of this DID happen, they acted like I was crazy and said I'd just had a bad dream..."
"Well it isn't." Inuyasha said confidently.
"How would you know? I would be the one dreaming..." She argued. "Why wouldn't it be? I mean, how real can time traveling through a well be? If I told anyone else I did that they would say I was crazy..."
"So. That doesn't mean it's not real." He continued to argue with her. "Besides, you don't feel pain in a dream. So stop being stupid." Kagome opened her mouth and was about to say something when Sango followed by Shippo and Miroku, Shippo triumphantly carrying a very large fish, entered the room.
"Look Kagome!" Shippo said holding up his fish. "I told you I'd catch you the biggest one!"
