A/N: Wow! You guys made me so happy! 10 reviews for the 1st chapter! That was way more than I expected! Thank you much! Awww! Now I feel guilty about what I have to say next! This chapter is short just like the first one. I know everyone loves a long chapter but my inspiration only last for so long. (I'll try and make it longer next time.) Sorry it took so long to update but I was away. Now I'm back and without further ado Sweet Dreams Chapter 2! Ya!
Disclaimer: IdonotownInuyasha! There! It's much easier if you say it fast.

That night lying in her bed Kagome tried and failed to get that strange guy out of her head. It had almost been as if she was the only one who saw him. Surely other people would have noticed a guy with long silver hair and ears on the top of his head. Even when he was on the street and helped her up people walked by as if there was nothing odd going on. Maybe I'm just going crazy. I am probably just sleep deprived. Yes, that's it. I haven't had that much sleep lately. But...when he helped me up. He sure felt real. Eventually all these thoughts wore her out and she fell asleep.

Kagome found herself in a place she had never seen "before." It was nothing like anything she had ever experienced before. She was in the middle of a clearing the size of a hockey rink. It was filled with tall green grass and unknown species of flowers. Circling the clearing were the largest trees she had ever seen. The trunks were huge; if she tried to wrap her arms around them she wouldn't even make it half way. There was something very otherworldly about this place; she just couldn't put her finger on it. Then it hit her. The colours were different. Not different like the grass was purple, more like the green of the grass was...Kagome couldn't think of a way to describe it. It was almost as if the colours were a shadow of the colours in her world. Satisfied with this explanation Kagome decided to have a look around.
Stopping to admire one of the strange flowers Kagome thought she heard movement coming from behind her. Silently thanking the long grass she crouched and waited for the noisemaker to appear. Sure enough a couple of minutes after Kagome had hidden a girl came into view. She had brown hair and eyes and seemed to be around Kagome's age. Humming under her breath the girl came closer when suddenly she stopped abruptly and turned to the place where Kagome was hiding. "Who are you? Show yourself!" The girl said forcefully, body tensing as if preparing to fight.
Socked and a little nervous Kagome stood up and immediately the other girl's body relaxed. "M-my name is Kagome." Kagome stuttered warily. But suddenly felt a lot better when the other girl smiled.
"My name is Sango. Nice to meet you." The girl told her extending a hand. Taking her hand, Kagome smiled. All the fear she had felt when first meeting Sango disappeared. "I haven't seen you around here before? How did you find this place?" Sango continued.
"I'm not quite sure. I was in my bed one minute, now I am here." Kagome answered her. So this place must be a dream. It doesn't feel like a dream though. I don't ever remember having a dream where I could feel the wind, smell the flowers, shake someone's hand. They all feel so real. It's almost too bad this is a dream. Kagome sighed. Oh well. Might as well make the best of it. "Hey Sango. Where am I? What is this place called?"

Sango looked at Kagome strangely. She fell asleep and now she is here? Wow. This is just a little complicated. All I meant by that question was what village was she from and now I find out that she doesn't even know where she is, let alone what this place is called. Wait a minute....Inuyasha's words popped into her mind ...black hair, brown eyes, average she be...
"Uhh...Sango. Are you ok?" A question interrupted her thought. Looking up at Kagome she blushed slightly realizing she had been staring.
"Oh! Sorry! I kinda zoned out for a minute." Sango apologized. Then an idea struck her, "Hey, Kagome. Want to meet my friends?" Maybe if I take her to them Inuyasha will be able to identify her.

Walking through the woods, on a path Sango had shown her, Kagome and Sango were having a great conversation about their family but most of all their bothers. Trading stories about how their brothers annoy them and how they get revenge made time pass quickly. Soon they were out of the woods and Kagome found herself standing on a dirt road. Looking around her she saw about ten houses, only they were not what Kagome had expected. They looked more like huts than houses. There were no bricks just wood. All Kagome could think of when she saw them was pictures in her history book about people who lived hundreds of years before her. The roofs either had grass on the top or wood. Each house was unique and expressed the personality of the family living there. Where in the world am I? I've never seen anything like this before.
Noticing Kagome's awe at the houses Sango smiled. "Pretty nice, eh? This is my village. My home is over there." She said motioning to a sturdy-looking wooden house. "I helped rebuild most of these homes after the fire."
"A fire? How did that happen?" Kagome asked.
"Oh. It's nothing new. Naraku and his bandits came through and torched the place." Sango said with a hint and anger. "But why are we talking about this? You still have to meet my friends."
They resumed walking and then Sango said, "Bet this is a bit different from your world." Then she caught herself. Was she supposed to be saying things like that? What if she isn't the One? She decided that she'd let Inuyasha deal with the explanations when the time came.
My world? What is she talking about? Kagome wondered but then totally forgot about whatever she was thinking when she looked down at her hands and noticed she could she through them. She let out a yelp and Sango turned around to see what was wrong. Sango's eyes widened but then she relaxed when an explanation came to mind.
"It's ok Kagome. You are probably just waking up." Sango smiled reassuringly. Then she added as an afterthought, "Come again soon."
"Will do." Kagome answered just before she disappeared completely.

Running as fast as she could Sango reached the tree where Inuyasha usually hung around. Looking up in the branches she spotted Inuyasha and called, "Inuyasha! What did you say the One's name was?"
Looking down on her and frowning slightly he responded lazily, "I didn't. Why do you wanna know?"
Still panting slightly from her run Sango told him, "Look. I don't really have time to explain. But I think I met her. Now go to her world and find out her name!" She finished a little more forcefully than she meant to, but today she didn't think she could put up with Inuyasha's attitude.
"You met her?" Miroku's question sent her whirling around. She was in such a rush to see Inuyasha that she hadn't even noticed Miroku was there too.
"I think so. I did meet a girl. Her name was Kagome and she told me that she had come here in her sleep." Then turning her attention back to Inuyasha she almost begged, "Can you please go and find out her name."
Making a huge show of getting up and stretching then jumping down from the tree Inuyasha turned to Sango and said, "Fine. I really don't see your urgency though. Can't I..." But before he could finish his question Sango shook her head forcefully and started pushing him away from the tree.
"The sooner you go, the sooner you can come back. Now go!" She told him giving Inuyasha a final push.
Watching Inuyasha walk away muttering about "stupid wenches" Sango looked at Miroku. "I really did she someone you know."
Not sure whom she was trying to convince Miroku smiled, "I'm sure you did. If you want to discuss it I know a nice place..."
"Do you really want to finish that question?" Sango asked threateningly.

Lying in her bed Kagome was deep in thought. The dream from last night seemed so realistic. She remembered every detail, which is strange, because remembering dreams was not something Kagome was gifted in. In fact, this was the first dream she had ever remembered. For a long time she was convinced that she didn't dream. She had known that everybody did dream but never being able to remember not even a second of one kind of did that to you.
Sighing Kagome dragged herself out of bed and prepared herself for the day. "Thank God it's Friday." She muttered to herself as she walked out the door and headed to school.
