A/N: well, I finally got a review! Thanx sooooooo much 2 (person's name here). Anyways, on with the story!
Just a small note: Kagome is having this dream while Inu-Yasha is thinking about going with Kikyo, not after he meets Tierra.

Perfect Day
Chapter 8: Confessions
By Midnight-wolf-314
Kagome was waling down the familiar path to go to Kaede's hut…but something just didn't feel right. Just then, a very—happy?—Kikyo jumped out of the trees with
Inu-Yasha right beside her.
"Inu-Yasha, what are you doing with her?" she screemed.
"I thought you hated me, Kagome. And you do! You were right, I'm far better off with Kikyo!" and he turned to the dead priestess and said, "take me to hell with you, my beloved!"
"Inu-Yasha! Please no. Please don't go! I didn't mean to say those things! They just came out. I didn't mean them…really I didn't! I love you too much to just let you go!"
"You don't love me. You never did, and you never will. I've already made up my mind and you can't stop me! But on the off chance you do still love me, remember that this is ALL…YOUR…FAULT! You could've prevented this, but you didn't! You did say those things and you can never take them back. So when I'm gone, you can celebrate that I'm out of your life now! And you have the satisfaction of being the one to do this. Good-bye, Kagome."
"Nooooo!" she screamed and tried to run after him. But the portal to hell closed as soon as he went though…never to return. "I really did love you," she whispered into the wind before she turned around and headed back toward the well. This time she would seal it…and she'd forget any of this ever happened. "Good-bye…Inu-Yasha."
Kagome woke up breathing heavily. 'What a weird dream,' she thought. 'Good thing that's all it was.' But she had a strange, sinking feeling that this was no ordinary dream. She rarely ever remembered her dreams, but when she did, they were always important. 'It's just a guilty concience,' she tried to convince herself…but she had a horrible feeling that this was more of a preminiton than anything else. Was she ever glad she was oing to apologize today.
But first….she had to wake up her friends who were all sleeping in sleeping bags next to her bed. She told them to just go home, but they refused…and was she ever glad.
"Yuka! Eri! Ayumi! Get up now! We've got an emergency!" she screamed as loud as she could without waking up anyone else in the house.
Groans of "Uhh, do I have to?"; "Just five more minutes!"; and "What time is it?" could be heard coming from the groggy figures.
"No! We've gotta go…NOW!"
"Where are we going?"
"To the Feudal Era! Now GET!"
"Sheesh! Alright, we're up! Now ya mind tellin' us what's goin' on?"
"Well, you know how we were worried last night about Inu-Yasha taking my yelling seriously? Well, I had a dream…well, more like a vision…that he went to hell with Kikyo because I told him to!"
"So, it was just a dream."
"It may seem like 'just a dream' but I can feel that it's more than that. Now we have to hurry."
After leaving a short message for Mrs. Higurashi, the four girls set out to the shrine.
"So, Kagome, how exactly do we work this thing?" Yuka inquired while staring at the old well in disbelief.
"Easy. You just jump in. Follow my lead." Kagome then jumped into the well, closely followed be her three friends.
!Feudal Era, But Still Following Kagome…!
"Sooo, we're in Feudal Japan now?"
"Yup, now come on. All we have to do is climb up these vines. Follow me." The young miko quickly climbed up the vines, trying to help her friends, who were really not good at climbing, up as well.
"Follow me, I know where to look first, but we have to go as fast as we can," she yelled after getting a head start running down the path to Kaede's village.
!At The Village…!
"Sango, Miroku, Kaede, Shippo, Kohaku! Anyone here?" Kagome screamed. At the blink of an eye, all five people, including Kilala, were standing in front of them.
"Kagome! You came back!" Shippo cried and jumped into her arms.
"Well I've missed you too, Shippo," she laughed.
"Yes, it's very nice to see you again." Sango said. There was a short pause and then a scream of "HENTAI!" (s/p?) along with a loud slap that echoed throughout the forest and village.
"Miroku, will you ever learn? You know she STILL doesn't like it when you do that."
" I know, but I couldn't help it!"
"Fine, whatever."
"Ummm…Kagome?" Eri asked.
"Yeah?"
"Who are these people?" Yuka finished for her.
"Oh, sorry. Ayumi, Yuka, Eri, these are my companions on all my journeys," 'minus one hanyou,' she thought. "She pointed at them in order, "This is Sango, Miroku, Kaede, Kohaku, and this little guy in my arms is Shippo. Everyone, these are my good friends from back home, Eri, Yuka, and Ayumi."
"Did ya bring me any candy? Did ya? Did ya?" asked a very excited Shippo.
"I'm really sorry Shippo, but I was too occupied with the whole Inu-Yasha ordeal."
"That's ok, Kagome, I was really scared that you weren't ever gonna come back ever again!"
"I'd never leave you here without at least saying good-bye, Shippo, and you should know that by now."
"Speaking of Inu-Yasha," Sango said, "has anyone seen him this morning?"
She scanned the small crowd and her eyes eventually landed on Miroku who had a guilty look on his face. "Spill it, Miroku, where'd he go?"
Miroku made his way over too her and whispered just loud enough for only her to hear, "He was very upset last night. Said something about an argument with Kagome and that he was going…to hell with Kikyo."
"WHAT!"
"What is it? What happened?"
"You tell her, Sango, she likes you better."
"Fine," Sango sighed. "Well, uhh, Kagome. This is really hard to say, but…MirokuthinksInu-YashawenttogotohellwithKikyo!" She blurted it out so fast, Kagome almost didn't understand it, but managed to get three words out of the mess:
Inu-yasha, hell, Kikyo. And that was all she needed to know.
"He did WHAT!"
"My thoughts exactly. What exactly happened last night?"
"I can answer that, I was there." All attention turned to Ayumi who had finally said something…and only because it seemed like Kagome wanted to hypervenalate in private.
"Well, Kagome said a lot of things she didn't mean to…they just came out. She said that it was because she wanted him to know how it felt every time she went home after one of their fights. But she said a lot of nasty things…the main quotes were:
"So you hate me now, huh? Well, I've got news for you! Kikyo is still alive, you know, and she'd welcome me back with open arms and drag me down to hell with her!"
"Well maybe you should do that! Then I could go back to the feudal era without you bugging me! I could still see Sango and the others and who knows. Maybe I will go off to Koga. He was a lot nicer to me than you'll ever be and you really seem to think we'd do so well together, remember? You thought I was seeing him! So maybe I will. Or, if you choose not to go to hell, then I can always stay here and marry Hojo! Now, which would you prefer?" Kagome told all of us that she didn't mean it and that she'd go apologize in the morning, but then she had this dream where he took her seriously and went with Kikyo. And now her dream came true!"
"You said that to him, Kagome?" Sango asked.
"Mmhmm." Was all the poor girl could say as she burst into tears.
"Cme on, Kagome, we'll help you save him," Yuka said softly as murmers of agreement could be heard throughout the group.
"Eri, Yuka, Ayumi, you three will come with me. The rest of you need to stay here and take care of things. Besides, you know how Inu-Yasha is. He won't admit anything in front of you, even if it already has been publicly announced."
"Yes, we understand. Go and do what you must…and bring back out hanyou."
"I'll try, guys, but if I fail, I'm going back to my world forever."
"Take Kilala, at least. You guys need to be faster than human speed if you're gonna catch up with him."
"Thanks, Sango. We'll be back soon."
