Recap:
Sango fell asleep in Miroku's arms on the couch, and Kagome fell asleep in Inuyasha's arms on the loveseat. Soon, Miroku was asleep, and only Inuyasha weas awake. But he too soon joined his friends in a blissful dreamland, that was peaceful for all of them. Except one.

Chapter 9- The Dream and The Beach
Crimson eyes stared at her under thin eyelashes. Evil cackling filled the air as Kagome searched the blackness for an escape, anything to remove her from this evil mans presense.
"Why, Kagome darling, you look as if you wish to leave. Whats the matter sweet pea, do you not enjoy my company?" the man asked in an evily sweet voice. He reached for her wrist, but Kagome turned and ran blindly through the darkness. It did no good, as she seemd to be getting nowhere. The man was always the same distance behind her.
He was reaching for her. Reaching...
"KAGOME!"
Kagome jerked awake as someone bellowed her name. Wide and fearful chocolate met anxious and concerned amber before Kagome's mind cleared.
"WhasamatterInuyasha?" Kagome asked thickly as she rubbed sleep from her eyes.
"You were thrashing in your sleep, are you ok?" Inuyasha asked, trying to peer into her eyes. She blinked up at him. Then the memeroy of the dream came flooding back.
"Yeah, I'm fine...just had a really strange dream, thats all. Lets get some breakfast, I'm starved!" she rocketed off his lap and bounded into the kitchen.
Miroku was frying eggs, while Sango was trying to make toast. It wasn't working too well, as Sango was getting extremely frustrated. She spotting Kagome and pointed at the toaster furiously.
"It refuses to work! It won't toast! What is the point of a toaster that won't TOAST? I've tried everything but nooooo, no toast for me!" Sango crossed her arms and stuck her nose up in the air.
"Have you tried plugging it in?" Kagome asked, biting back laughter. Sango faltered, looked over to see it was, indeed, unplugged. She blushed madly, mumbled 'Shut up.' under her breath and plugged the toaster in.
Kagome sat down at the kitchen table and waited for her breakfast. Before long, Miroku placed two eggs before her, and Sango came over with a glass of orange juice and some toast. Miroku, Sango and Inuyasha then all sat down with their own breakfast infront of them.
Kagome was thoughful as she munched on her toast. What had the dream been about? Was it something random, or did it have a meaning? She stared off into space as she contemplated what it could mean.
"So...what do we want to do today?" Inuyasha asked, dog ears perking up hoping for something interesting to happen.
"Well...why don't we go down to the beach? It's supposed to be really hot out today, and I'm sure Kagome will want to go swimming. What do you think Kagome? Kagome?" Sango looked over to her friend who was staring at the ketchup bottle as if she had never seen anything like it before.
"Hm?What?Sorry, zoned out." Kagome said, jerking back to reality.
"As if that was anything new..." Miroku muttered.
"You want to say that too my face hentai?" Kagome narrowed her eyes at her best friend. Mioku gulped.
"Umm, heh, no I'm fine thanks. I value my life." Miroku said, cringing into his chair.
"Anyway, I was saying that we should all go to the beach, what do you think Kags?" Sango asked, rolling her eyes at her and Miroku.
"Sure! I just bought a new bathing suit too!" Kagome said excitedly.
"Alright, lets get our stuff and head out!"
The two girls raced from the kitchen, Kagome to get her swim stuff while Sango ran home, leaving the boys to clean up. They both shook their heads and picked up the dishes.
.:.An hour later.:.
"Hurry up Miroku! You take forever!" Kagome called from the beach.
"I have to make sure I am properly dressed! I do not want the girls continuously oggling me!" Miroku called back from the change rooms.
"As if..." Kagome muttered, rolling her eyes.
Kagome, Sango and Inuyasha sat on the blanket they had brought with them. The girls and Inuyasha had worn their bathing suits underneath their clothes. They were all still dressed though, waiting for Miroku to finish changing. They had thought up an interesting way to shed their clothing and reveal the bathing suits underneath. They were going to play strip poker.
Miroku finally jogged back. "Took long enough!" Kagome told him. "Now, how are we going to play this? Teams? Or everyone for themselves?"
"I say its girls against guys. If we win a hand, one of you have too take something off and vice versa. The losers get to choose who though." Miroku said.
"Sounds good to me!" Sango retorted.
.:.30 minutes later..:.
Miroku was starting to regret his 'fabulous idea' of girls against guys. The girls had won 2 out of three rounds, and Inuyasha had told Miroku that since it was his bright idea, he ahd to take his clothes off first. Miroku now sat with no shirt or pants on, just in his swim suit. The girls had managed to outsmart the guys in the round that they won. Instead of taking off something good, like their shirt or something, Kagome had given the guys her sweetest smile, and removed her hat.
"HAH! I win again!" Sango cried triumphantly. "Well, since Miroku has nothing else to take off, I guess its your turn Inuyasha." Sango grinend, nudging Kagome in the ribs. Kagome blashed and shoved Sango in the sand.
"HEY! Your gonna pay for that!" Sango yelled. Kagome bolted from her seat and ran in the opposite direction. Sango, covered in sand, took off after her.
A few minutes later, Kagome turned and ran back toward their stuff. Giggling madly, she wasn't watching where she was going, too intent on escaping Sango's wrath.
Kagome looked behind her, and promptly tripped over one of their bags. She keeled over, and tackled Inuyasha with loud 'Oof'.
Inuyasha was stunned at first, then looked down to see Kagome face down on his chest. his sensitive nose could tell that she wasn't unconcious, yet she wasn't moving. He regarded her through golden eyes, until she become aware he was staring at her. She looked up, turned crimson, and muttered an apology.
Inuyasha ignored her apology, and continued to stare at her. Kagome refused to make eye contact, and went to get off him. She was stopped by a pair of hands on her shoulders. She stopped and met inuyasha's golden eyes with her chocolate ones in question.
Inuyasha ignored her questioning gaze and pulled her up towards him. Their lips were so close, just a few mere centimetres and he could brush his own lips against hers. Almost there, almost...
The wonderful moment was ruined by Sango finally catching up to Kagome. Sango, oblivious as to what was about to happen, dived ontop of Kagome and Inuyasha, yelling "DOG PILE!" as she did so.
Kagome got the wind knocked out of her when Sango tackled them. She groaned, and Sango rolled off of them, cackling madly. Sango's mirth was short lived, however, when she felt an all-to-familiar hand on her backside.
WHAM!
Sango had seized the umbrella and smashed it over Mirokus head. He went down, completely unconcious. Sango, muttering dark curses under her breath, replaced the umbrella, then began to take off her shorts a top, exposing her plain red tankini underneath.
Once shen had recovered, Kagome began to take off her shirt and shorts too, exposing the black bikini she had on underneath. Inmuyasha gaped as she did so, making her invent a few shades of red as she blushed madly when she found him staring. Inuyasha blushed too, and took off his shirt.
It was Kagome's turn to stare as she oggled Inuyasha's six-pack. Inuyasha blushed when he caught her, and so did Kagome. Sango soon called Kagome over, and her and Sango went towards the water.
Kagome was lost in thought as she headed over to Sango. She couldn't believe that Inuyasha and her had almost kissed! This presented Kagome with thoughts that told her maybe Sango had been right all along. Maybe Sango's cousin does like her.
Kagome was so caught up in her thoughts, she didn't notice her favourite hanyou come up behind her. She noticed his presense however, when he picked her up. Letting out a loud 'eep!', she flailed wildly. Only when she realized it was Inuyasha, did she stop.
She was wondering what he was up too, when she was let go suddenly. Yelling out in surprise, she hit very cold water with a lud splash!. Kagome, extremely pissed, pointed a threatening finger at Inuyasha.
"You are SO dead!" she told him.
Inuyasha started to laugh, but had to stop when he found himself submerged in icy water. Gasping, her struggled to the surface to see Kagome smiling triumphantly. She had jumped on his abck while he had been laughing, forcing him under the water.
"Oh yeah? Well guess what princess..."
The rest fo the time was a serious of contest between the three of them to dunk each other under the water. Miroku came too after a while and joined them in their game, surprising the hell out of Sango by tackling her, sending them both underwater.
After a while they got out, and started drying off. Kagome declared that she was going to get ice cream, and would be back soon.
Little did they all know, that might have been the last time they ever saw Kagome alive.
