Chap 9: Confusing? Dreams or Reality?

By: Kagome

A/N: Whee, there's only 41 more chaps to type by the end of this summer and then a new fic will be out Anyway, you MUST pay attention to every detail.

/?/ Inuyasha awoke, startled at first, what had happened? Where was Kagome? He had brought her to the hut and now where was she? He looked around, but still, no sign of his miko hanyou. Inuyasha rose to his feet, stepping outside the hut to be shocked by the event in front of his very eyes. The whole village had been gathered in front of the hut. Everyone wearing something formal, or, semi formal. Sango, Miroku, and Shippo, all were dressed in a traditional black. Symbolizing a death.

Kaede wore her traditional miko robes, now Inuyasha was far more confused. Kagome was not in the crowd either. Had one of the villagers died? Not like that was anything new, why would they all be gathered with this one person? Inuyasha took slow strides to the front of the crowd, all the people eyeing him sadly. He cocked an eyebrow at the movement of the villagers, he walked up to Sango and Miroku, "Where's Kagome?" he asked which brought tears to Sango's eyes instantly.

"How can you say that Inuyasha?! Everyone knows! Even you should remember with how devestated you were yesterday!" Sango yelled, but the look of confusion she was reciving was far too.... horrible for her to even think of what she was going to say, how could he have forgotten that........ /?/

Inuyasha opened his eyes, once more at that, to see Kagome sleeping in his arms peacefully, she was beautiful. A small smile planted on her delicate lips, but... that happy image faded as a frown began to tug on the coners of her cheeks, "Your not pretty when you frown...." he whispered to her sleeping form, "Don't frown...." he demanded in a whisper. He looked at her face to see the next emotion that would strike. He hoped something happy, but the next one scared him. A look of horror, "What's wrong..... Kag?"

/1/ "Daddy! Daddy!" was the high pitch calling, he groaned but opened his eyes to see a young girl. She smiled instantly and ran into the next room of the hut, "Mommy! Daddy is awake now!" she cried out before returning with a plate, "Here Daddy, Mommy says you need to rest, fighting that guy made you tired....." she said placing down the plate, "Daddy? Mommy?" Inuyasha asked looking at the girl.

"Of course Daddy, Mommy! I think Daddy has that aminesia thingy!" she cried out before she was turned around to face Inuyasha, "Are you youkai?" he asked, wonder filled his eyes, "Yeah......." she said softly, "Mommy's a hanyou too, so wouldn't that make me youkai?" she asked, Inuyasha nodded and moved onto the next question, "Who's Mommy?" he asked as Kagome slipped into the door way.

"Kagome!" he cried out releasing the child, he pulled her into a hug, "Inuyasha? Why are you scaring Aki with your forgetting joke?" she asked placing a small kiss on Inuyasha's cheek, which sent him flying back, "Forgetting?! Aki?! And a kiss?! What's wrong with you?!" he yelled which cause Kagome to shake her head, "You really did forget, Aki is our daughter, and we're MATES! Do I not have the right to kiss you anymore?!" she screamed crossing her arms just below her breasts, "Ah..... mates? Ah..... sorry......" he said softly, thinking over what Kagome had just said, had his life gone by this far without him knowing? Maybe she was right, maybe he had forgotten. And since he had not woken up yet, it was most likely true... all true......

/#/ Inuyasha blinked as he was bonked on the head by the all too familiar little fist of the kitsune, "What do ya want brat?!" he aske glaring down at the small youkai, "How could you Inuyasha?! Let Naraku do that to Kagome! She's never going to come back now! She's with Kouga!" the small kitsune yelled in his high pitched annoyed tone, "WHAT?! Why.....?" he asked, looking over the trees to see Kagome being carried away by Kouga. A look of complete bliss on her face.

Now, he was convinced that this was a dream, but the others....... how could he tell anymore? What felt the most real? All of them but this one..... What would he do?

The last thing he had done, was take Kagome to the hut. So that crosses out the children and the one about her death./#/

Inuyasha blinked as he looked at Kagome's sleeping firgure, wondering if she was going through the same thing as him, "Kagome..... don't be fooled....." he whispered, "Don't stray on the wrong path.... please, don't leave me forever......" he whispered, really hoping she could hear him, and hoping that no one else but them were in the hut.

Inuyasha stared down on Kagome, wondering what would happen if he had not believed that she would stay with him. He could have easily fallen for that, but... would Kagome be able to trust him as he had her. He closed his eyes once more, returning to sleep, hoping, believing, in Kagome. His confidence set in her, knowing she'd choose the right path. If the path even showed up for her, and if it did not, hopefully, she'd make one of her own.
