A/N: This is the last chappie I will do until I get another review. But if you enjoy it, you have no reason not to review unless you have a computer like mine that hates me and only lets me review sometimes. Well, on with the story.
Disclaimer: I don't own Inu-Yasha and co.
Perfect Day
Chapter 7: Wishes and Dreams
By Midnight-wolf-314
"Wait!" Inu-Yasha called after the mysterious figure. If he could trust her, then maybe he'd get his wish. And if he couldn't…well, he would die no matter which path he took so why not try?
"Hmm?"
"I'm coming with you."
"Fine."
They walked for a couple hours before they came to their destination. It was a lovely clearing with a small waterfall quietly running into a lake. The place was surrounded by trees, except for a small cave near the waterfall that looked as if it extended into the ground rather than straight back. You could also see mountains off in the distance that seemed to sparkle as the rising sun shone into the mist that was left after the storm.
"Follow me into the cave." The young girl said. In the light, Inu-Yasha could now tell what she looked like. She had long blonde hair that extended down to the small of her back. Her eyes were as soft and blue as the water flowing into the lake and seemed to be able to look into your soul. Her kimono was pitch black with three yellow stripes along each hemline. The more he thought about it, the more harmless she seemed. Making up his mind, he walked slowly into the shelter.
"Welcome to my home. It may be small, but it does work. Now, please take a seat and wait just a second while I get my mirror."
'A mirror? Like Kanna's mirror? Jeez, Naraku sure isn't very creative, is he?' the hanyou thought to himself just as Tierra returned. The mirror did have the same shape as Kanna's, but it did have a couple differences, mainly in the coloring. Tierra's mirror was black and the glass was less shiny.
"My looking glass allows me to look into your soul."
"So, it's like Kaguya's?" (Second movie)
"Not entirely. That is the only use my mirror has. I cannot grant wishes with it, only be able to know what your wishes are. What I am able to see is what is in your mind…nothing more, and nothing less. I can tell your deepest desires, your deepest secrets, everything you hate, and everything you love. Yet I cannot use it to help you."
"So you dragged me here just to look into Kagome's mind?"
"Yes, but I never said I couldn't help you grant your wish, I just can't use the mirror to do it like Kaguya could."
"So, are you gonna do anything or not? I'm wasting time here."
"As you wish," was all she said before she closed her eyes and focused her energy on the mirror in front of her.
In Kagome's Mind"So, now where are we?"
"In Kagome's mind of course. Just a heads up, Kagome will appear to us in her mind. However, she is an illusion. The real Kagome will not ever know that you are here, but the illusion can tell you anything you want to know without hesitation. Any secret that Kagome posses could be released to you and she will never know."
Inu-Yasha took this in as he looked around. This definitely wasn't what he'd been expecting. He was in a place that looked just like Tierra's home only it was on top of a mountain instead of in a valley. He could see Kagome now. She was staring off of a cliff at a beautiful sunset. But there was someone with her. It only took Inu-Yasha a few seconds to realize that the person with her was him.
Just then, Kagome got up with Inu-Yasha following suit. "Wow, Inu-Yasha, I never new you had a twin!"
"I don't have a twin!" both Inu-Yashas said. "Oh. Then you must be here from the outside world." She stated while looking at the real Inu-Yasha. "What brings you to this dimension?"
"I need to ask you a couple things about Kagome."
"Oh, ok. Go on, then."
"First, I thought this was Kagome's mind, so why do I have a little person in here too? Second, Is Kagome still mad at me? Does she really hate me enough to mean that she wants me to go with Kikyo?"
"Ok, yes, this is Kagome's mind. You are in here because you are a part of her life. What you see before you—this lovely place—is Kagome's deepest desire. You are here because she wants you to be a major part of her life. And no, she's not still mad at you. Did you really think Kagome could ever hold a grudge against you? And the things she said earlier—about you going to hell with Kikyo—she didn't ever mean. She loves you too much. She was just rather mad that every time she got to go home, it was because you yelled at her. She just wanted to have you see how it felt so you two could avoid it in the future. She got really worried after her friends told her that you might have taken her seriously. She is going to get you after she wakes up and invites her friends along for the ride."
"How do I know this isn't a lie?"
"Do pictures lie, Inu-Yasha? You see yourself standing here in front of you, do you not? She loves you and wants you in her life badly. If you don't believe me about that one, follow me into the house."
The house was somewhat medium sized. It was a log cabin type house that seemed to be based after parts of her home and some of her favorite places in the Feudal Era. Among them, he saw Kaede's village, the well, the God Tree, and to his shock, Koga's wolf den.
"Before you say anything about that, just because she likes the caves doesn't mean she loves Koga. He's her friend and always will be, but there's nothing going on between them. Now, for what I brought you here to see…Sakura, Raven, Tomaka! Come in here, please!"
You could hear some running around and then three voices yelled, "Yes Mother!"
Three kids entered the room. All three were half demon. One girl with long, flowing, black hair that appeared to be the oldest, spoke first. "Papa, why are there two of you?"
"Relax, dear. Kagome said. "This is the Papa from outside. He came here to ask about Kagome."
"Wow!" all three said in unison.
The same girl stepped forward and spoke again, "Welcome to your home, Papa. My name is Sakura and I'm eight. This is my sister, Raven, and my brother, Tomaka." She said pointing to a younger girl, also with black hair, and a young boy who looked no older than four with white hair.
"Are these still Kagome's wishes?" Inu-Yasha asked the Kagome-illusion.
"Yes. She has always wanted a house like this one along with three kids. The descriptions of the kids have changed over time along with each new crush she's had, but you've lasted the longest…since the very first time she looked at you a year ago. You're special to her and you're also the only one who's ever become part of this world. Before she met you, it was just the kids and me, but when she changed last, your illusion became part of it."
"Wow. Now, I really need to be getting back to my time. Bye!" the hanyou said while walking out the door towards Tierra.
! Back in the Real World…!
"I'll leave you alone," Tierra said as soon as the two got back. She figured Inu-Yasha needed some time to think all this over.
'Wow.' Was all he thought for the longest time. He couldn't believe Kagome felt that he was that much a part of her. He felt that way, but never in a million years did he think he'd ever hear that she did too. And also, she wanted three kids, and she wanted him to be the father! He was so excited about all of this; it was about noon when he remembered that Kagome and her friends were coming in the morning. And even longer to realize that it was WAY past morning and that Kagome would end up in Kaede's village only to be told that Inu-Yasha had gone to Kikyo. And if she thought he went to Kikyo because of her, she'd go look for the priestess. And when she found Kikyo and he wasn't there, Kikyo might do some things that involved using a reincarnated miko to get to a hanyou.
A/N: Well, that's it for now. I tried to make it as long as I could for you. And as soon as someone reviews, you guys can get another chappie. So review, Review, REVIEW!
