Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha, and I'm not stealing it so please don't steal my storyline. I think it's very original, ne?

As some one noticed, the divider thing was messed...i don't know why it did that, but I'm changing it...not that ne of u really care...but, yeah. *@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*

"Kagome Higurashi, it seems nothing is wrong with you physically besides the fact that you were extremely exhausted. Do you suffer from any sort of sleeping disorder? Insomnia maybe?" Kagome gently shook her head. "You look like you have a head ach." He said noticing that she was holding her forehead tightly with her hands. "Would you like some Tylenol for the pain?" He asked.

"That would be great, thanks." She said quickly before a thought struck her. Pain, she was in pain. This was a dream though...it had to be. She had felt pain when she was with Inuyasha, and like he had said, you don't feel pain in dreams. So...this wasn't a dream either? But it had to be. What else was this if it wasn't a dream?

Still Dreaming

Not long after that Kagome's mother came in. She signed a waver that gave permission for the hospital to do a few final tests to make sure everything was alright, and then Kagome was allowed to leave. Aumi, Eri, and Yuka were dropped off at their homes, though it did take some convincing that Kagome needed time alone. Once she got in the door she was immediately greeted by her little brother, and her grandfather.

"What happened sis?" Souta asked the second the door opened. He had obviously been waiting.

"Are you okay Kagome?" Kagome just rolled her eyes. Apparently her grandfather had been waiting as well.

"I'm fine. Don't worry about it." She said as she pushed them aside and headed to her room.

"But everyone at school said-" Souta started.

"Wait! Everyone at school knows about this already?" Kagome asked, hoping the answer wasn't what she thought.

"Well, duh. It happened a few hours ago." This comment only earned a vicious glare from Kagome. Then she completely ignored all further questions and went up to her room.

She had only been in her room five minutes before there was a knock on her door. Kagome just put her pillow over hear head an decided she didn't want to talk to whoever was on the other side. "Kagome, I'm coming in." It was her mom. Kagome made no attempt to move as her mom came in, pulled the chair from her desk closer to the bed and sat down. "Kagome, you know you can tell me what wrong honey."

"Yeah, mom. I know." Unfortunately Kagome made her tone sound too untrustworthy...for a mother anyway.

"It's not drugs or something, is it?" Her mother asked watching her daughter closely.

"MOM!" Kagome shot up removing her pillow. "I can't believe you think I would do that!"

"Well I have to ask." Kagome sighed in annoyance and laid back down. "Well," Mrs. Higurashi said standing up, "if you don't want to tell me I'll leave..." She stood there for a moment expecting Kagome to tell her something before leaving.

"Bye mom." Kagome said gritting her teeth. Her mother was already far out of hearing range though. Probably already down in the kitchen starting dinner. She wasn't hungry. Kagome shut her eyes and waited for sleep to overcome her...hopefully when she awoke she would see the hanyou she loved so much...

Kagome opened her eyes and once again she was in the hut. Judging by the bright light that was making it's way into the hut is had to be early afternoon. She looked to her side, and sure enough, there was Inuyasha.

"You're awake." He stated the obvious. Kagome nodded and sat up. Her side still hurt, but not nearly has much as it had seemed to before.

"Where is everyone?" Kagome looked around and noticed they were once again the only ones in the hut.

"They went to see if there were any rumors of shards or Naraku in this village." He answered, and then added. "I doubt they'll find anything we didn't already know from our last battle. And since this is close to where Naraku's castle was any shards in this area are probably all long gone."

"Yeah...you're probably right..." Kagome turned her gaze to the door where the light was shining in for a moment and then back to Inuyasha. "How long was I asleep this time?"

"Only since last night." Inuyasha sounded almost bored. Kagome assumed it was from sitting there so long.

"Have you been here the whole time?" Kagome asked.

"Feh, pretty much." Inuyasha blushed a little, and then added, "Do ya have a problem with that or somethin?" To make sure she didn't catch on.

"Huh? No...it's just..." Kagome looked down into her lap. "I just appreciate it, that's all." Inuyasha looked over at Kagome, but missed the slight smile that filled her face.

They sat in silence for a moment before Kagome moved to reach for her backpack. Since it was only like a foot away she could easily drag it next to her. When she noticed Inuyasha watching her she looked up.

"Do you want something? I know I have some chips or something in here." Inuyasha just shrugged and Kagome went back to searching. A few seconds later she produced a bag of chips and two pops. "Here." She handed Inuyasha one and the opened the bag. "I'm sooooo hungry!" Inuyasha made no move to open his pop, but watched Kagome open hers. She start to open it but then heard a hissing sound and quickly held it away from herself as pop foam came pouring out.

"Does it always do that?" Inuyasha said looking down at his can.

"Only when you shake it...that's what I get for carrying pop in my back pack..." She sighed and set the pop down. "Shouldn't we start moving soon? I mean, doesn't Naraku know where we are?"

"You're the reason we're still here." Kagome sighed again.

"I'm sorry..." Then she shifted a little. "Let's leave tomorrow then. I could just ride Kirara." Inuyasha just nodded in agreement.

~*~

Soon the others returned. They didn't find anything out that they didn't already know. Kagome informed them that she would be able to leave tomorrow. It got dark soon after that and they all sat around the fire.

"Kagome are you sure you're feeling well enough?" Sango asked her friend. "You look like something's on your mind."

"Hmmm..." Kagome figured she might as well tell them what happens whenever she goes too sleep... "I've been having really strange dreams..."
