Chapter one ~ Dreams and Memories

~~~~~~~

"Please dont make me."

"You dont belong here."

"But I do!"

"You dont."

"I do."

"I dont want you to get hurt here."

"I wont. Just let me stay here. With you."

"I want you to. And you know that, but you cant."

"Please!"

"Good bye Kagome."

"No!" she screamed as she suddenly woke up. It was Kagome's 19th birthday, and she had been having that dream for the past week. It was her last conversation with InuYasha. InuYasha. That name brought her so much joy, but so much pain at the same time.

She loved him. The way they would argue like children. The way he would pout when he didnt get his way. The way he was so over protective. But most of all, the way he would smile. Near the end, they got closer, and he would always smile at her childish ways. She loved that smile. She missed that smile.

But his name also brought her pain. Naraku was dead, along with that bitch Kikyo, leaving him to be with her. With the jewel complete, she gave it to him, and they stayed together the whole week. Just them. But, he told her that he loved her, and that he always would. With that, he pushed her back down the well, leaving her without a way to get back to him. He left her heart broken.

"I miss him..." she said quietly. She missed him more then he knew. More then anyone knew. She sighed, and got out of bed. It was 6:30, so she dicided to go get something to eat.

"Oh, good morning Kagome." her mother said as she walked in the kitchen. She was slightly stunned to see her daughter up this early. "Happy birthday Kagome."

"Thanks." she mumbled as she sat down at the kitchen table. Her mother got her some hot chocolate, and handed it to her as she sat on the other side of the table with her coffee.

"Is there something wrong Kagome?" she asked. Kagome had been waking up depressed like this for the last week now and it was starting to worry her. I mean, it was her 19th birthday! She's supposed to be happy! But her only response was a shake of her daughters head. "It's because you wanted to spend today with Inu-"

"Dont." she interupted. She didnt want to hear his name today, and her mother understood. She knew they were in love. And when Kagome came home that night InuYasha sent her back she was heart broken. She had even locked herself in her room and cried herself to sleep.

"I'm sorry dear."

"For what?"

"For what he did to you."

Kagome looked up at her mother for the first time this morning. Her eyes were sad, but the rest of her features didnt look any different from what they usually did. "It's ok mom." she said, her voice a bit shakey. "He did it to protect me." she sighed, then took another sip of het hot chocolate.

"Kogome, you need to forget about him. Whats in the past is in the past."

"I know mom." she said, but was thinking more along the line of - It's not that easy! I'll miss him if I want to or not! - but didnt say it outloud.

"Good. Now, you aunt will be here soon, so go get ready, your cousins want to take you out shopping."

"Okay mom."

Kagome came down an hour later wearing a black spaghetti strap, and black kapris to match. She looked happier then that morning, but it was all a mask so her mother wouldnt get mad. Breakfast was ready, eggs and toast, but she only had some toast and went back upstairs. She layed on her bed and closed her eyes. The only thing she could think about was InuYasha. Her InuYasha. And now, she didnt even know if he was still alive or not.

"He is." she whispered to herself. "He has to be." but she still had her doubts. She knew he was strong, and could beat anything, but, Sesshomaru had proven time and time again that he could win against his brother easily. And they werent the nicest to eachother either.

"Kagome." came her mothers voice from the other side of her door. "There here."

"Okay mom, I'll be right down." she said, hopfully happy enough to trick her mother. Sure enough, she heard her mothers foot steps down the stairs as she left. Kagome got out of bed and looked at herself. Same old her. So, she went out of her room, and went down to go say hello to her family.
