Kagomes Dream

There was darkness. All she could see was darkness all around her.

Natsumi...

She heard someone say. "Whos there?!..."

Natsumi...

"Sesshomaru?!.. is that you?!... whats going on?! Where am I?!..." A woman appears in front of her in white. Her eyes widen. "Who are you?!...."

Natsumi... I am your real mother. I have come to answer your questions.

Her eyes turned angry. "Good! Cuz I sure have a lot! If Im an angel from heaven, then why am I here on Earth now?! Why did I go to Sesshomarus mom in her dreams and tell her I'd marry him--"

Because if you did not come down here to Earth, meet him and marry him, then there would be dire consequences. her face turns innocent.

"Consequences?..." she repeats. "Like what?!..."

If you do not marry Sesshomaru and produce for him an heir to his thrown, Sesshomaru will die.

Her eyes widen. "..He-...He'll.. die?!?!!...."

Well, eventually, he will die on his own, whether you wed him or not, but... she laughed out. The threat of a terrible youkai will come upon you soon. And in battle, Sesshomaru will need your powers for help and protection.

"But... but.. He's Sesshomaru!! Hes like, the strongest taiyoukai ever!! He can defeat anyone who rises against him!! Why would he need an angels--"

Ah, yes. But what will happen when his strongest enemy will turn out to be his own brother? her eyes widened.

"But how?! Inuyasha was never strong enough, or smart enough for that matter, to defeat Sesshomaru in battle! And even so, Sesshomaru has no problem killing his own brother!" Kagome argued, her eyes turning angry.

True, but he shall acquire the strength from one of your greatest foes yet. And you must keep these two youkai from destroying each other, for if one parishes, so does the other. Her eyes widen again.

"They will-.... Wait! Do you mean-.. Naraku?!!?!.. but why?! He hasnt shown up to bother us in months! Almost a year now!"

She shook her head. It will not necessarily be Naraku... always remember, keep your friends close, and your enemies closer...... (AN: Corny, i know but i love Spiderman, so live with it, aight? -) Her voice fads into the distance, as does her image.

"No!! Wait!!" she said, reaching out for her. "Why does it matter to you?!!?! Why do we care, as angels, to protect these youkai?!! Why is Sesshomaru's life so important to us?!" Her mother smiles sweetly at her.

Natsumi... you will learn everything you need to know. All in due time.

End Dream

She sat straight up in bed. "Wait!!!" she screamed, breathing heavily and sweating perfusly. Sesshomaru sat up and put a hand on her shoulder.

"Whats wrong?" he asked, looking at her worriedly. She looked at him with a horrified look on her face and tears in her eyes.

"Sesshomaru.. I just.." she put her hand on her forehead and closed her eyes. "had the weirdest dream!" she said. He moved closer to her and wrapped his arm around her shoulder.

"Really? Tell me about it."

"Well... it was my.. mother!.. my real mother! She told me that... if I dont stay near you and stop you and Inuyasha from fighting, then you will destroy each other!" his eyes widen quickly before returning to normal.

"Why does it matter so much to them?" She turns to him quickly with angry eyes.

"I dont know!!! I dont know! I-... she wouldnt tell me!!" she put her hands on either side of her head. "'She just said that I would learn everything I need to know! All in due time!'" she put her head down and smiled a bit. "But that doesnt really tell me much, does it?!..." she said, sadly.

"Be calm, Kagome. Im sure that she was just trying to reassure you that all is well." she looked at him.

"And thats another thing!... she kept calling me Natsumi! isnt that the name that your mother had written in her journal?!..." he nodded. She smiled and sighed. "Well! At least I know I'm not crazy!" she pushed herself back onto the bed. He looked at her. "I'm so tired now!... I'm going back to sleep!..." she said, closing her eyes.

"You cant." She looked at him angrily.

"Why not?!"

"Its dawn." She laughs a bit and rolls over.

"Exactly! I cant get up now! Its too early...." He straddles her with his arms and leans down so that his lips are right next to her ear.

"Kagome. You need to get out of bed now." he said in a husky voice that sent shivers down her spine. She moaned in protest and flung her hand up towards his face as she turned, which he dodged easily. So now, she was looking straight up into his eyes. She blushed and turned away from his gaze.

"W-w-well, what if I dont want to get outta bed right now?!..." she asked.

"'Out of.'" he corrected her. She looked at him, confused.

"What?..."

"'Out of' bed. 'You do not want to get 'out of' bed right now.'" he corrected her again. She scoffs and turns from him again.

"Now I'm the one with the grammar problem!..." she said, sarcastically. He smiled lightly.

"Of course not." he kissed her forehead. "You are perfect in every way, Kagome." she pouted.

"Hm. Suck up...." she whispered. He raised an eyebrow at her. She smiled innocently at him and got a sweat drop. "Oh, nothing! Nothing!"

"No. Tell me what that means. Im curious."

"You?! Are curious?! About a human, no less?!..." she teased.

"Hey. If I wasnt so curious, we both might not be lying in your bed right now."

She blushed and sat up, making him lean back. She flicked her finger on his nose as she said: "'Hey' is for horses!..." she sat up at the edge of the bed and was about to stand when he wrapped his arms around her chest from behind and tickled her sides.

She squeaked and fell back on his chest, trying to move his hands from her waist. "Stop!!" she yelled. He did, to her surprise and she sat up off of him. Then she turned to him as she whipped the tears from her eyes. "Youre terrible!..." she laughed/cried out. He laughed lightly at her and her eyes widened. '..he--... hes laughing!!!.....'

he looks at her. "What?" he asks, curious as to why shes looking at him so strangely.

"...Its just that..." her eyes narrow and she smiles. "I'm not used to you laughing!.... its nice!.. to see you so happy!" she said. He scoffs and stands.

"You are rubbing off on me. I sigh a lot more now, and like you said, even you notice now that I am laughing."

She props herself up on both elbows and looks at him from on the bed. "Why?! Is that a bad thing?! Laughing is good for you! Its healthy!"

"Kagome. Who is feeding you this ridiculous false garbage?--" he says, turning his head from her and walking towards the window before she cut him off.

"Its not garbage!! Its a proven fact!!" He turned back to her.

"Proven by whom?"

"Proven by--...." her voice faded and she thought. 'How do I explain this to him?!.. do I tell him Im from the future?!... would he believe me?! Well, I guess I should! Ill have to go back eventually and he'll wanna know where Im going!' she sighed. "Proven by scientists!" she said, confidently.

He raised another eyebrow at her. He was about to ask what they were, but then a new scent caught his attention. He turned to the window and looked out at the quickly rising sun. "Come. youre training will begin today." he said, heading towards the door.

"But, uh-... training for what?!!..." she yelled.

"I told you already." he said, closing the door behind him. She thought and then remembered what he had said earlier. She smiled.

"Well, I better get dressed then!..."
