A/N: :sees the glares: Eh, heh. I know, I KNOW! I haven't written something in a LONG time, but alas I've been busy..:sighs: Anyway's, in this chapter you might notice that the kids names are different. I found some new ones and decided to use those. Inuyasha's and Kagome's kids names just didn't fit! Everyone else had Japanese names and their kids didn't. So, I changed them!

Beta-reader: Cryxxy-chan! Thank you VERY much!

DISCLAIMER: I don't own Inuyasha and Co. But! I do own all the obvious characters I make up.

Chapter Four:

Dreamin' Of The Past

Kagome looked around. She was in that place again, that dark forest. Sighing she waited for the hooded figure to show. Hearing a noise to her left she turned and saw the hooded figure.

"Who are you and what do you want?" She asked, though this time she held her head high and felt braver than last time. She saw the hooded figure smile.

"It'll come to be." It whispered.

"What? What will come to be?" She asked. Noticing that she didn't wake up, Kagome swallowed hard. Uh-oh. She was supposed to wake up! Maybe this was some sort of dream curse. Where, whenever she fell asleep, she would wake up somewhere else. She heard the figure laugh, startling her into looking at it.

"Aren't you a worry wart?" The figure laughed again, making Kagome fold her arms and frown.

"Well, excuse me! Each time I wake up, I'm in a different place! Why wouldn't I worry?" She snapped at it. She watched as the figure smiled and shook it's head.

"Do you sense me as a threat?" It asked, Kagome realizing that it had a feminine voice. Was it female or was it a man with a weird voice?

"Do you?" it asked again.

"No, but that doesn't mean you aren't!" Kagome said, with a curt nod.

"Well, I'm not. I'm only here to show you something."

"And what would that be?" Kagome asked, eyeing the figure. I can't tell if it's a female or not!

"How your young ones came to be and how they'll grow." It said, making Kagome blush and gasp.

"I don't want to see that! I know how children are made."

The figure laughed loudly. "I'm not going to show you that. I'll show you from the time they're born and so forth." It watched Kagome give a sigh or relief. "Come now, we must go."

"Go where? Kagome asked.

"To where they were born." It started walking, but stopped when it noticed Kagome wasn't following. "Come along."

"Okay. But if anything happens to me, Inuyasha's gonna kick your butt!" She threatened, but followed nonetheless. As she followed, fog started swirling around them, getting thicker and thicker. It got so thick, she couldn't see the figure anymore. When she was about to call out for the figure, a bright light flash through, temporally blinding her. When her vision came back she was in a room. She looked around, noticing that the room was white and had machines in it. Something to her right moved and caught her attention. She turned towards it and gasped.

It was her! It was herself! Sitting up in a bed, reading a book. But the thing that really got her was that she looked fat! She gained about fifty or more pounds!

"Don't look so upset," came a voice behind her, making her jump and turn around.

"You!" She breathed, when it was only the hooded figure, "Don't sneak up on people like that. By the looks of things, in my future I'm going to gain weight? Why would-"

"Past," the figure interrupted.

"Past? But, I - "

"You've already had your children, remember?"

"So here I didn't have them? But wait! Don't you remember me saying something about falling asleep and waking up somewhere different?" The figure nodded, "Well, the whole me being Inuyasha's mate and having kids is a dream! Isn't it? This here is a dream, right? Where I'm at now?" Kagome could feel panic start rising, this couldn't be possible! She thought she had figured it out. That she was sleeping and just kept having strange dreams. But, what the hooded figure said next, changed her mind.

"Yes, this is a dream. You fainted because I needed to show you this, because you weren't remembering anything about marrying the inu-hanyou and having children," the figure paused, letting that sink in. "But the other isn't-"

"It has to be!" Kagome interrupted, "Because I fell asleep in the feudal era with everyone else! This can't be real!" Kagome shouted at the figure.

"Please, calm down. You need to see this. All will be understood soon enough." The figure said calmly. Kagome shook her head; she didn't want to calm down! She didn't know what was going on! But, she forced herself and took a deep breath. She said all would be understood soon. I'll see this and then get my answer. She nodded towards the figure and it went on.

"To answer your question on why you have gained weight is, though I think it's obvious! Is because here your are in the hospital bed pregnant with the young ones."

Now feeling a tad bit stupid, Kagome gave a half of a shrug and didn't look at the figure.

"You are a day away from having them." the figure went on, "Inuyasha should be arriving soon." And as if on cue Inuyasha walked through the rooms door, looking human. Well, as human as he could with his short white hair and golden colored eyes. His clothes though, made him look like a human. He had a pair of blue jeans on, with a red shirt and jean jacket.

"Hello, love. How are you feeling?" He asked the pregnant Kagome.

The pregnant Kagome smiled, "Why do you ask, when you already know?"

Inuyasha gave a toothy grin and planted a kiss on her lips. "Did you talk to Sango and them?" She asked.

"Yeah, they'll be coming tomorrow, really early in the morning." He said, making her frown.

"So, you'll be leaving me when night falls?" The pregnant Kagome asked with tears coming to her eyes.

"Only for a while!" Inuyasha rushed to insure her, "I don't want to. But, how else are they going to get through? You want them here, don't you?"

"Of course I do!" she said wiping away the tears. "It's just that you haven't left my side since I've gotten pregnant and well, I'll miss you."

Inuyasha smiled and leaned his forehead against her's as he brought her into his embrace.

"Don't worry, Kag. I'll be back as soon as I can."

"Okay," she sighed and then snuggled into his neck. "Inuyasha?" she asked sweetly, "Can you get one of the nurses to bring me food? I'm starving!"

Inuyasha laughed and he laid her down and went to get one of the nurses. The pregnant Kagome smiled after him and then continued on read her book.

"So, Sango and Miroku are coming?" Kagome asked the hooded figure.

"Yes, remember your mother telling you that they were allowed to now?" Kagome nodded and watched as Inuyasha re-enter with one of the nurses that had brought food with her. Kagome looked at the clock and noticed that the big and little hand were speeding up. Noticing that the outside light was going out, she looked out the window and saw that the sun was going down and the moon coming up.

"What the heck?" she half asked to herself.

"I made the time speed up," said the figure, "It's now the evening." Kagome looked at herself and saw herself sleeping. Inuyasha was by her, holding her hand, but then looked at the clock and got up. She watched as he planted a kiss on her pregnant form's forehead and whispered I'll be back soon. Then left.

Time sped by again and slowed down when Inuyasha walked back into the room. He sat in the chair by her pregnant form, folded his arms on her bed and laid his head down on his folded arms. Soon he fell asleep. Kagome watched her sleeping self smile, then reach out and touch Inuyasha's arm, scooting a little closer to him.

"It's the bond you share," said the figure. "Even in your sleep you can sense his presence and need to be closer to him."

Time sped by again and Kagome watched herself wake up suddenly.

"Inuyasha!" her pregnant form gasped, making him wake up in an instant.

"It's definitely time!" she said. Inuyasha leapt up quickly and called out for a nurse. One came in and then called for the doctor. Kagome watched as everyone came into the room and then brought her pregnant form out and into another room. She noticed, as she and the figure followed her pregnant self, that Sango, Miroku, Shippo, her mother, her brother and her grandfather were there in the waiting room.

"Okay," the doctor's voice brought Kagome back into the room to watch what was going on. "We're gonna need you to push, Kagome."

Kagome watched as her children were born. One by one they came out and took their first breath of air. She saw Inuyasha holding her pregnant form's hand as he watched. When it was over, the pregnant Kagome got to hold each of her children.

"What should we name these two, Inuyasha?" the breathless Kagome asked, as she stared at the first two that came out. They both had white hair.

"Well, how about I name the boys and you name the girls?" Inuyasha suggested.

"Sounds good to me. But, they have to have the same first letter of the name, okay?" Inuyasha gave her a funny look.

"Don't ask me why. It's a thing I have." She smiled at him. He smiled back and nodded.

"Let's call this guy...Zale."

"Z? That's a hard one. Hmm, we'll... we'll call her... Zora." They smiled at one another, then at the babies. The next set was brought and put into Kagome's arms, as Inuyasha got to hold Zora and Zale. The next set had black hair.

"We will call her Takara."

"And him, Toshiro."

The last set was brought to Kagome and put into her arms. Inuyasha held Takara and Toshiro as Zora and Zale were taken out of the room. The last set had what looked to be gray hair.

"Interesting. I wasn't expecting gray hair." Kagome said, looking at them. Inuyasha shrugged.

"We're going to call him Makoto."

"And I guess we'll call her Mitsu."

The nurses came in and took Takara and Toshiro and let Inuyasha hold the last two. But soon they took them away as well, to clean them.

Kagome watched as the gang walked in with her family. They all congratulated her and Inuyasha.

"Come. We must go somewhere else now." The figure said. Kagome took one last look and then followed. The same fog came, then the disappearance of the figure and then the light. Though this time, she was in her house and heard people singing.

"Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday dear Zale, Zora, Toshiro, Takara, Makoto and Mitsu! Happy birthday to you!"

Kagome saw Inuyasha, herself, the gang, her mother and brother. Then she saw the little ones on the floor making a mess with cake. She looked back at everyone and gasped in surprise. Sango was pregnant! So that must have meant that Yukiko was a year yonger than the sextuplets. But then she also noticed that there was someone else on the floor playing with cake and it wasn't one of hers.

"I guess Yukiko decided to follow." Shippo joked.

Oh, so she's pregnant with Suki.

"Yes, she is," someone said, startling Kagome again.

"Jeez! Will you stop doing that?" She nearly shouted, a hand over her heart.

"You probably didn't notice her pregnant while at the hospital because you were more interested with you and your young ones."

"What exactly are we doing? I mean, why are we going - "

"I'm showing you the things you don't remember. You giving birth, the young ones' first birthday. Second birthday," the figure pointed behind her. Kagome looked over and noticed the kids were a little bigger and there was yet another child playing with them. And this time Sango wasn't pregnant.

"Third, fourth and fifth birthdays," the figure continued as the kids grew more and at their fifth birthday, Sango was pregnant again. But, this time there were more children at her house. A lot more.

"Birthday party?" She asked. The figure nodded. Kagome looked around and saw Tenchi playing with the rest of the group. They were playing Duck, Duck, Goose! Then she heard Inuyasha's voice.

"Mrs. Kemento, I believe your husband is over there." She could hear and see that Inuyasha was annoyed.

"Oh, I know. And your wife is over there as well." Arise Kemento smiled sexily. Kagome scowled. That smile makes her look like a radish! Kagome heard the figure laugh. Kagome snorted and turned her attention back onto Inuyasha.

"Is she? Well, excuse me." Inuyasha almost growled and headed over to where Benjiro and Kagome were. Kagome watched as Arise glared over at where herself and Benjiro were.

"Darn that woman. Getting someone as good-looking as him. I'll get him soon enough."

Kagome gasped, outraged. "Oh no she won't!"

"And that's why you're jealous of her." Kagome looked at the hooded figure. "She's after what's yours and Benjiro is after what's Inuyasha's."

"Stupid people!"

"Well, come along. It's time to wake up." Kagome looked sharply at the figure.

"What? My question was never answered!"

"Oh, yes. My name is Chiyo and I am a female." Chiyo said and took off the hood revealing long blue hair, purple eyes and pointed ears.

"You're a demon?" Chiyo nodded with a smile. "But that's not the question I asked!" Chiyo opened her mouth.

"Beep, beep." Kagome looked at her confused.

"Huh?"

Kagome woke at the sound of her voice.

"Beep, beep? What's that suppose to mean?" she asked, confused. Then she heard it again. Sitting up, she looked out the window. There was Inuyasha, Miroku and the young ones, plus a new one, running in a circle.

"His horn went Beep, Beep, Beep

Now we're doing a 120

As fast as I could go

The rambler pulled along side me

As if I were going slow

The fellow rolled down his window

And yelled for me to hear," Now they all were running. Inuyasha and Miroku were running slowly as the kids ran besides them.

"Hey buddy how can I get this car out of second gear!" They all yelled as they passed them.

"Beep, Beep." Kagome watched as the young ones walked around swaying and saw Inuyasha and Miroku swaying a little.

Sighing, she shook her head. Weird family and friends. She thought. She looked around. She was in a hut. So this wasn't a dream, this was real. She was really married to Inuyasha and had six kids. But why couldn't she remember any of it? That dream she had didn't help all that much. So, now she knew how she had her kids, big deal. She also knew why Inuyasha didn't like Benjiro and why she didn't like Arise.

Lying back down, she looked at the ceiling. She blinked and felt her tears roll down the side of her face. It wasn't fair! How could she not remember? Did she bump her head and get amnesia? She let out a sob, it was all too confusing. She couldn't take it anymore. Then she felt someone wrap their arms around her. She felt safe and comforted. Sniffling a little she caught the scent of the forest. It was Inuyasha. Letting it all out, she cried and wrapped her arms around him, as he brought her into his lap.

"Shh, Kag, shh. I'm here." Inuyasha said, worried. He rubbed her back. He could feel that she was confused and scared.

"Is mommy okay, daddy?" Came Mitsu's voice.

"She's tired. Miroku, take them outside." Inuyasha said. He knew they all had followed.

"Of course. Come along." Miroku said as he ushered the young ones out, looking back at Kagome and Inuyasha. He was worried for Kagome. But Inuyasha needed to take care of her first. He walked out of the hut.

"Why was mommy crying?" Takara asked, with a small sniff. Sensing that she was about to cry, Miroku quickly replied.

"She got something in her eye. Who wants to go swimming?" All of them cheered and ran to the waterfall near by.

"Hold it!" He shouted, making them stop. "Let me get Sango and Ayame first." They all nodded and waited.

Sango and Ayame were in the garden talking to one another when Miroku told them where they were going and that he needed to talk to them about Kagome. They followed him to the waterfall. They watched as the kids jumped in and played in the water. Miroku got in as well and help Yukiko swim as Ayame helped Suki swim. When the kids started getting tired, Sango told them a story and they all fell asleep under one of the trees.

When Sango was done, Miroku spoke.

"I'm worried about Kagome and Inuyasha. I'm worried about Kagome because she doesn't remember and I'm worried about Inuyasha because he doesn't know what to do about it."

"Poor Inuyasha and Kagome." Sango sighed "But what can we do?"

"Help her remember," Ayame suggested "And wait for Kouga to come back."

"It's the only thing we can do." Miroku agreed. Sango and Ayame nodded. Though they were worried, it would be best to wait for Kouga to return.

A/n: What to do, what to do :sighs: Who knows? This chapter started with the dream and ended..well..stupid! I guess I just don't like my style of writing. Oh, well. Life will go on.
