Chapter 2: Bonded Dreams

Inuyasha opened his eyes and took a moment to adjust them. He had never felt so... full, complete... a whole. What was the word? He now had someone he could love, someone who could love him. A family. Eventually they'd have pups and they could live together in their own home.

All those wishes would have to be held off for now, since they still needed to defeat Naraku and finish collecting jewel shards. He sighed. 'But soon... Me and Kagome can start a real life.' Kagome turned in his arms, so she faced away from him. He frowned a little. He had not taken lightly to the fact he could no longer see the beauty of her face and the crescent moon shaped mark on her collar bone. He knew he had the same mark on his shoulder, but could not see it. The crescent moon was the mark of his family.

Inuyasha moved slowly. He had no idea how him and Kagome would be able to get back without the others noticing they were not fully dressed, since Inuyasha would have to give Kagome his haori, because he had shredded her clothing and he would be left with only pants.

He decided they would have to go back to Kagome's time. They could sneak into her window and get her new cloths and he could where all of his. Inuyasha shook Kagome a little. She moaned and did nothing more. One more shake, one more moan. The pattern repeated until Inuyasha grew annoyed.

"Kagome.." Inuyasha whispered, trying to wake her up. "Get up."

"I'm tired." Kagome turned and gave him a sad look. He took a moment and realized how angry it mad him that his mate was sad. So - therefore - he had nothing to say.

"But..." Inuyasha growled in irritation at the power she had over him. "We have to get up and dressed before the others come looking for us. Do your really want Miroku to see you the way you look right now?"

"You seen.." She mumbles. Inuyasha clenches his teeth.

"Are you saying you don't care if someone else sees you nude!"

"Inuyasha..." Kagome covers herself up with the haori. "Don't.. be ridiculous." She still did not want to awake from her snooze mode.

"Come on woman." Inuyasha grabbed her arm and lifted her off the ground, pulling her from the cover of the haori. She shivered and realized without the haori around her she was bare for the world to see. She squealed and grabbed the red shirt and covered up her form entirely. Inuyasha smirked. For once he had won the argument.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome yelled at him as he pulled on his pants and white shirt.

"What!"

"You... you just... exposed me for all of mother nature! You baka! How embarrassing! And in broad day..." Kagome blushed and held her cheeks.

"Calm down woman. No one, but me saw you."

"You don't know t..."

"But I do! I can smell anything or anyone around us and no one is close enough to see a damn thing." Inuyasha picked up her sword of the ground and placed it on his pants. "Now come on. We've got to go to your time."

"My time?"

"We have to get you new clothing. If we had back to camp there will be more of a chance that someone will catch us like this." Kagome nodded, understanding his point.

"Fine, but if someone sees us Inuyasha..." Kagome warned.

"It won't be my fault." Inuyasha said with a grin as he swooped Kagome into his arms and jumped off in the direction of the bone-eaters well. Inuyasha kept all his senses alert to make sure no one was around and then when he noticed the area was clear he jumped into the well.

When they came out in the other era, which Kagome was born Inuyasha once more used all his senses to make sure the area was clear. It was. Apparently the others were still sleeping. Inuyasha figured Kagome would want to sleep more. Even he was still tired after last nights events.

Inuyasha slid the well house door open with his foot and jumped off onto Kagome's roof, where they could get into the window. He was happy to see it was open. The two entered.

Kagome released her form from Inuyasha's arms and walked over. She locked the door, so no one would walk in before she was finished finding clothing and getting dressed.

Kagome pulled out underclothes first and then a beige skirt, with a brown v neck sweater. She looked at Inuyasha who just looked back at her waiting for her to change. She didn't as she just looked at him.

"What?" He asked finally. Kagome blushed a little.

"Turn around." She ordered.

"W... what are you talking about?"

"Just do it."

"I already saw all there was to see Kagome, nothings going to surprise me now. You don't gotta be embarrassed."

"Just.. please..." Inuyasha sighed irritably and turned to face the wall as Kagome changed. He didn't know why she cared if he saw her get dressed. It wasn't like they weren't completely bare yesterday. "Okay." Kagome said. Inuyasha looked at her as she pulled her sweater over her head. Her bra barely covering her breast.

She finished pulling it down with a sigh. She tossed the hanyou his red haori and he put in on for himself.

Kagome walked over and unlocked the door. If her fellow family members knew the door was locked and at the same time Inuyasha and Kagome were in the room together... lets just say they would get the wrong idea. Not that it would have been wrong last night.

"I'm still so tired." Kagome yawned and walked over to the bed. She crawl past Inuyasha and lied down.

"Humans and sleep..." Inuyasha mumbled. He - too - decided to lie down. The two laid so Kagome was on the outside looking out and Inuyasha was on the inside looking at Kagome. 'It's time to see.' Inuyasha's arms were wrapped around Kagome's waist as they both fell into another slumber.

A Little Later

Mrs. Higurashi held the basket of clothing. She grabbed Kagome's cloths and was about to walk in and put them away from her, but to her surprise Kagome was there. Kagome was lying down, sleeping right beside Inuyasha.

Maybe they were just a little to close. Inuyasha's front-side connected right with Kagome's back-side. Mrs. Higurashi raised an eyebrow. Then she heart a muffled moan from her daughter. Kagome and Inuyasha's expression's both showed they were having nightmares.

Mrs. Higurashi decided to leave them be for now. She walked out and shut the door.

Meanwhile In Kagome's Dream

She felt so alone. So lost. She had her mother and that was all.. no. It was not her mother. It was Inuyasha's mother. She was in Inuyasha's child body. She gasped wondering what was going on. She felt so... so left out.

All the other villagers played in a game and as she tried to join them they all separated and walked away. She stood there looking at the ground. No one wanted to play with her. She was not good enough for them. She was just a lowly half breed.

Meanwhile In Inuyasha's Dream

Inuyasha could tell her was in Kagome's childhood form. He knew exactly what was going on. The mates were seeing into one-another's past and witnessing the most painful moments the others felt.

Inuyasha sat there in Kagome's body, wondering what was to happen next. He had never expected Kagome would have a any sorrow in her past. He was wrong.

A puppy walked over to Inuyasha and sniffed him. The puppy wagged its tail and smiled. Inuyasha smiled back. He had not know Kagome had a dog and she seemed to love this dog like a brother. He could feel it. Young children always grew close to their pets.

"Damn dog!" A male's voice echoed through the household. Inuyasha wondered who that was. A man walked down the stairs. He looked to be in his early thirties. He had short black hair and was kind of muscular. "That mutt ate another one of my good shoes!" The man came stomping over and Inuyasha recognized him as Kagome's father. He had also never known anything about Kagome having a dad.

Inuyasha - in Kagome's body - grabbed the dog and held the puppy protectively. The father just snatched it from her hands and she screamed out for him to give it back. He didn't. He just glared at the surprised puppy and through it across the room.

Meanwhile In Kagome's Dream

Kagome - in Inuyasha's body - ran for her life. She had no where else to go and all she could concentrate on was saving her mother from the angry villagers torture. They were trying to kill her and she knew they were already killing Inuyasha's mother.

She tried to get to the woman. She tried reaching out for the princess, but the princess was pulled back and slaughtered by the villagers. She gasped and screamed out.

"NO!" She yelled out, wanting to cry, but knew it was not Inuyasha's nature.

Meanwhile In Inuyasha Dream

Kagome's father turned and looked at Kagome. He picked her up by her neck.

"I'm so tired of your crying! Get over that fucking dog!" Kagome's body cried, but Inuyasha was angry. He was consumed in rage that anyone would dare harm his Kagome.

The man punched Kagome in the face. Kagome screamed for help, but no one else was home. Her father hit her over and over again, until she was on the floor covered in bruises. The man left after abusing her enough.

Meanwhile Out Of The Dreams

Kagome turned over and cried into Inuyasha's chest. Inuyasha wrapped his arms tighter around his love and opened his eyes. 'How dare that man!' Inuyasha growled. 'How dare he hurt Kagome in such a manner.' Inuyasha looked down at Kagome. She was still dreaming his own nightmare.

Inuyasha moved aside her bangs to get a clear look at her face, which was covered in tears. All the placed her father had left bruises had disappeared at the age she was now, but there was no doubt in Inuyasha's mind that it had left a scar on her pure heart.

"Kagome..." Inuyasha shook her awake. She shot her eyes open and took a couple heavy breaths. She wiped her forehead. 'What kind of nightmare was that?' She thought to herself. She looked at Inuyasha and had never felt so sorry for him. Now she had seen it. All the pain from his point of view. She did not know how she just did and from the look on his face she had a feeling he experienced her childhood horrors as well.

"Oh Inuyasha." Kagome wrapped her arms around him and cried into his shoulder. "I'm.. so... sorry..." Was all she could really say.

"Me too... me too." Inuyasha mumbled as his hands stroked through her hair and he held her tightly.

So what'd you think about this chapter. Pretty lengthy, eh? I liked it.
