Disclaimer: As I've said and will repeat, I do not possess the great, imaginative mind of Rumiko Takahashi, and therefore do not own anything of the manga and television series INUYASHA.

Okay, well today I felt so motivated by a dream I had last night, so I decided to put it down on virtual paper for the world to see! It was such a great dream sigh. Well read and review please!

Ominous black clouds, alighting with powerful lightning strikes moved closer and closer to the forest where he resided for the night. The rolling thunder reminded him of a thousand armies of men in the distance, about to meet their fate on the battlefield. The weather of that day seemed to resemble the thoughts forplaying through his wandering mind.

There the boy sat atop the tallest branch of a quite elderly tree to which he had grown so fond and so loathing of. For on that tree, resumed the death of his first loved one, and the beginning of a new adventure with a new loved one.

His intense gaze of glowing amber eyes were fixed upon the blackened clouds rolling closer and closer to him. He wouldn't care if it began to pour on him, he would stay out there until she would come to apologize to him. Until she would come to get him, he would sit there in misery and annoyance.

Kagome, his young miko friend had annoyed him greatly that same day. While he was trying to fight a rivaled enemy, she was conversing with him! Of all people! He would tell her time and time again to stay away from the arrogant, self-conscious, half-wit wolf demon, but she wouldn't listen. Inuyasha felt betrayed by Kagome somehow, even though he wasn't going to stay mad at her all day.

So there he sat in vain, thinking about how his friend betrayed him. But eventually his annoyance wore off, and he began to think about more important things. His anger towards Kagome slowly subsided, and he began to think about more pressing matters.

He remembered how much of the Shikon Jewel had already been found by none other than the dark demon lord, Naraku, and that there couldn't be much left. How long was going to take? Would he ever get to become full demon? That's when he thought… What will happen to Kagome?

Inuyasha realized in his heart that Kagome was the one who would always be there and he for her as well. But what would happen if he were to become full demon? He wouldn't remember and most likely kill her! He shuddered at the thought of seeing Kagome's blood on his claws, and a bleeding, dying Kagome at his feet.

How many more innocent people had to die before his quest was over? How would he be able to protect the people he held dearest if Naraku kept getting more and more powerful and more villains keep trying to kill them?

Inuyasha was thinking to intently that he didn't notice the young miko watching him from under the elderly tree. She stared at him as he stare at the thunder clouds. She felt badly for what had happened that day, but she also felt that Inuyasha had somewhat overreacted.

"Inuyasha?" Kagome called out, almost scaring the hanyou to death. Inuyasha knew who it was instantly. He felt happy and satisfied to see her, knowing that she felt badly for him, but that made him feel slightly guilty for making her worry.

Nevertheless, he gave a small frown and turned his head away from her, "What do you want?" Inuyasha asked hotly. He waited for an apology, but surprisingly, it didn't come out of her mouth.

"Inuyasha, I think it's best that I go home for a few days. If you're still mad at me it'll do you some good to be away from me for a bit." Inuyasha did not respond. He was still waiting for an apology. "Inuyasha, I'm not about to give you an apology you don't deserve ya know! It's not my fault that you fight with Koga all of the time!"

"Of course I deserve an apology!" He spat back, turning to face Kagome, "You were flirting with Koga! I told you not to!"

"I don't think that judgment is fair," she said solemnly, suddenly going quiet, "First of all, I wasn't flirting, second you do more than flirt with Kikyo. Why am I the one being criticized?" Inuyasha opened his mouth to spit out a comeback for what Kagome had said, but could find no words. She was indeed right. Defeated, he growled and turned away from her again.

"Go home if you want," He told her stubbornly. Kagome, regretting this visit nodded and left, back pack in hand, and out of his sight.

Inuyasha didn't want Kagome to leave him again. Despite the fact he was angry with her, he still longed for her cheery and soothing presence that was always by his side. But it was too late now. Kagome had gone back to the futuristic world from which she belonged. Inuyasha knew she shouldn't keep living in the past with him, but he never said anything, because he had to have Kagome with him.

Back in her present time, Kagome climbed out of the well that lay on her property. Utterly despising Inuyasha at the moment, she sought her family to relieve her mind of him. Her mind was usually occupied with thoughts of Inuyasha.

Kagome left the hut where the well resided in and walked over to her house. When she stepped inside, she was greeted by a man she did not recognize.

"Hello there! You must be Kagome," the tall, husky man said to her with a smile. He held out his strong hand for a greeting. Kagome was confused. How did he know her name, and who was this stranger? What was he doing in her house?

Hesitantly, he took his hand and shook it. He bowed to her, and then called out for her mother. Her mother rushed hurriedly to greet the teenager who had just arrived home. Her mother gave her a big, breathless hug. To Kagome, her mother seemed much more jovial than she last remembered.

"Oh darling! You came! You finally came! I have some great news!" She released Kagome from her embrace, caught her breath and spoke again, gesturing towards the man, "Kagome, I want you to meet your father, Sakai Higurashi."
