A.N- Sorry for the delay. I went on vacation to S.C and just got back yesterday. I also want to thank my best friend Adrienne for being my Beta. She also writes stories too, by the way. There really good. Her pen name is migratingcoconut. Anyways I realized I didn't put a disclaimer on the first chap. So here it goes...
Disclaimer: I don't own or never will Inu-Yasha, there are no profits being made from this story so please don't sue me I have nothing!!!
"And this equals what, Ms. Higurashi?"
"Huh?" Kagome raised her head from the crook of her arm. Several minutes earlier she had resolved herself to try and stay awake through Geometry. Obviously that plan failed.
"Ms. Higurashi?" The teacher replied. "I asked you when reflected across the y axis, what does the point 6,45 become?"
"Ummm..............the y axis is 6,45?" The teacher glared at her unflinchingly. "So would it be......uhhhh..........4.25?"
"Dare to dream, Ms. Higurashi." The teacher took one more critical glance at Kagome before turning her attention to another student and asking her for the correct answer.
Sighing, Kagome laid her head back down, closed her eyes and started to drift off again............................
"Hey Kagome!"
Kagome turned to see her little Sota running toward her.
"Inu-Yasha was here earlier, but he left to look for you."
"What!!" Kagome screamed. "You let him leave, and run around Tokyo?!"
"Yes, but........."
"But nothing!!! Sota, I can't believe how irresponsible you are!!"
"But......"
"Sota how many times do I have to tell you, Inu-Yasha can't be allowed to just run around all over the city!!" Kagome was far to busy scolding Sota to see his eyes bug out at something behind her. Only when his mouth droppped open and he pointed did she notice something was amiss. "And what are you staring at?!" she demanded.
Still voiceless, Sota continued to point at whatever was behind her. Confused, Kagome turned to look behind her. A sharp gasp escaped from her as she saw not what, but who was standing behind her.
"Kagome," came the reply to her gasp.
Inu-Yasha. Ok, he was here but the question was how? He couldn't have gotten through the well not with all the seals she placed on it. But how did he get through? Maybe she should recheck with Gramps about the seal's effectiveness......yes that's what she'd do.....
"Kagome." Inu-Yasha spoke her name again, only he didn't sound annoyed like he usually did when she spaced out and he had to call her repeatedly to get her attention. No, instead he sounded resigned and grieved, yet determined. Kagome finally gave up in trying to ignore Inu-Yasha and met his gaze.
His eyes burned golden fire. The intensity of them told her of his unseen burdens and his determination to conquer them. But he couldn't do that without her help. It was almost like the time she had caught him with Kikyo and he tried to tell her something but couldn't voice it. Only last time he was trying to say goodbye, and if this was like last time, then that's what he came to say. He didn't need her help, Kagome convinced herself. No, he just wanted to say goodbye.
Disgusted, Kagome refused to look at Inu-Yasha any longer and turned from him. "If you want a goodbye, fine. Goodbye." When she didn't sense any movement behind her she continued, "But, if your expecting some kind of closure you won't get any from me."
"Kagome..."
"I mean it!! You won't get any closure or anything else from me! Not my forgiveness, not my love, and not our bab..." Kagome stopped at this point, remembering he probably didn't even know about the baby, so why bring it up? "Just stay away from me Inu-Yasha!!" She paused as the venom of betrayal and hatred seeped further into her conscious. "I hate you for what you did to me!!"
"I'm sorry, but I can't stay away from you. I...."
Turning around to rebuke him further, Kagome was suddenly blinded by a bright light coming from behind Inu-Yasha. Squinting in the light she saw what looked like tears cascading down his face.
"Kagome, I love..........."
But he never finished. It was as if suddenly he was a being swept up by a powerful wind that was determined to carry him away. And though it tore at her hair and clothes Kagome stayed firmly grounded. Despite what she had just said, Kagome felt instant regret as she saw Inu-Yasha being carried away and screamed his name in desperation. She fought against the wind as she attempted to run after him, but was knocked over by the gusts. Tears of frustration sprang to her eyes as she met his gaze.
"I'm coming for you!"
It was the only thing she heard him say before he disappeared into the light. "Inu-Yasha!" she cried again, before the wind and bright light overtook her senses and she could hear and feel nothing.
"Who's this Inu-Yasha guy you're calling for in your sleep?" asked a voice in the darkness.
"Uhhhhhhh, Huh?" Kagome opened her eyes to find herself looking up at her friend Eri. On second glance, she saw she was back in her Geometry class. Eri and herself were the only ones left in class. "Ummm..... Eri, where is everyone?"
Her friend smiled. "At lunch, silly. Ms. Justinano dismissed the class five minutes ago, only I had a dentist appointment and came in late. But by the time I arrived, you guys were already done with class." A devilish grin appeared on Eri's face. "However, I found you still here sleeping, and calling out someone named Inu-Yasha. That's a weird name. By the way, who is he?"
Kagome felt heat rise to her cheeks. "No one."
"Mmmmmm Hmmmmm."
"What, it's true Eri. He's no one special." Kagome said, still blushing.
"I'm sure he isn't. Pooooor Houjou. I wonder how he's gonna take it."
Kagome frowned."Take what?"
"You cheating on him with this Inu-Yasha."
"What?!?! I did not!!! I'm not even going out with him, Eri!!!" By now Kagome felt her whole face aflame.
"Calm down Kagome. I'm only teasing." Her friend said with a smile. "Come on, let's go eat. I'm starving."
Kagome smiled back. "Okay, let's go." They began to make their way down the hall.
"I'm coming for you."
"What?!" Kagome gasped.
"What, what?" Eri asked.
"Oh nothing. I thought I heard something."
"Kagome, maybe you should invest in Starbucks."
"Why do you say that?"
"Because they sell lots and lots of caffeine, and you won't fall asleep in class again, and you won't hear voices from sleep deprivation."
They both giggled. Kagome glanced out the windows toward the sky as they walked pass them. "I'm coming for you, played over and over in her head. Did it mean what she thought it did? That Inu-Yasha said it just now and he was coming for her? How would he get through the well? Did he know she was pregnant? Yeah, she almost mentioned it in her dream. It was just a dream, right?
"Come on Kagome, let's take a Wacdonald's break!!
Kagome looked up from the window to see Eri already at the main entrance of the school.
"Coming!" She yelled.
There were so many questions and not enough answers.
A.N-Next chap. Inu-Yasha is in it, I promise. Not just in a dream sequence, either. I'll explain how he gets through the well and why he looked sooooo sad in Kagome's dream. Was it just a dream?
(A.N-Episode 47 if you wondered what incident Kag. was talking about)
(A.N-aka Mcdonalds in the Inuyasha series just without the lawsuit)
