It was late in the afternoon when Miroku and Sango came back, they had a pouch full powder that contained the antidote needed to turn Kagome back to normal. Sadly enough, according to the priest, it would take three days.

"Really? That long huh?" Inuyasha question Miroku and Sango, they both nodded."Well I guess we better-"

"AHHHH! AHHH!" someone screamed from inside the hut.

"That sounds like Kagome!" Sango pointed and the three of them charged inside.

"Kagome! What's Wrong?" Inuyasha asked trying to find the source, getting his sword ready.

"No! AHHH! Get away from him. No Yasha! AHHH! Please don't eat him! AHH!" Kagome shouted.

"She's having a nightmare." Miroku stated, he looked down and noticed that her eyes were still closed and she was flailing her arms about.

"Must be horrible!" Sango said slowly waking over to where Kagome slept.

"No wait-" Inuyasha ordered.

"AHHH!" Kagome shouted before waking up. Looking around, she's starts to cry. "I h-had a night-mare. It was s-so s-scary!" Kagome got up from her sleeping mat and ran to Inuyasha, she grabbed a hold of his legs and held on tight. Everyone looked at Inuyasha as Kagome cryed in Inuyasha's knee, he wasn't sure what to do in the situation.

"Um wh-what was the bad dream about?" Inuyasha asked walking over and sitting next to her knelling next to her.

"We were in this big huge c-cave place and you were there and I was there, but older. W-we were being a-attacked by a giant white dog monster. It j-jumped in the air and t-tried to e-eat Yasha!" she said starting to cry again.

"Come here, it's okay." Inuyasha said picking Kagome and sitting next to her sleeping mat.

"Wow some nightmare huh Inuyasha?" Miroku asked, he and Shippo soon took places in the hut, now that the danger was over, while Sango was getting lunch ready.

"It wasn't a nightmare...it was a memory." Inuyasha stated rocking Kagome back and forth

"A memory?" Sango asked, "I don't remember a cave with a giant dog demon..."

"Yes, it was when Kagome and I first traveled together. We went to my father's grave after Sesshomaru to get Tetsusaiga. When he found out that it didn't belong to him; he got mad and attached us. He transformed into his full demon form;"

"A giant dog..." Miroku finished

"Yes, that's when I told Kagome that I'd always protect her." Inuyasha said brushing some hair her Kagome's face.

"Wow I guess even back then, Kagome has always been by your side, huh Inuyasha?" Sango said.

"Yeah, she has been..."

Later...

"Yasha Face can I get some cereal? I'm hungry." Inuyasha heard first thing he heard during his nap, while something was tugging on pant leg. Inuyasha looked down and noticed this tiny person slowly crawling up the tree he was in, then realized how high he was in that tree.

"Ka-Kagome get down, you'll break your neck!" Inuyasha grabbed her by the back of her shirt and brought her up to where he was and sat her in his lap.

"Don't worry Yasha, I climb trees back home all the time!" Inuyasha slumped back in his spot, "Really?"

"Yeah! I have this really really big tree at my house, that I climb all the time!"

'She must be talking about the Goshinboku tree'Looking around; Inuyasha noticed that Sango and Miroku were outside making breakfast.

"Um I don't know what 'cereal' is, but we a other stuff." He wrapped his arm around Kagome and lepted out the tree and landed on the ground

"That was fun! Can we do that again?" Inuyasha just shook his head and continued to the camp still with Kagome in hand. He placed Kagome on the ground next to Shippo, "Kagome is hungry..." and continued going in the hut.

Kagome up and followed him into the hut, when she moved the bamboo out the way she saw that Inuyasha was taking off his sword and laying on her sleeping mat. When he turned around he noticed her standing watching him again, "What?"

"Aren't you hungry?" Inuyasha folded his legs up,

"Feh, I'm not weak like you humans, I don't always have to eat."

"Well I'm hungry, will you fix me something?" Inuyasha rolled his eyes, "Fine, hand me that yellow bag." Inuyasha said pointing to grown up Kagome's travel bag. "You didn't say the magic word." crossing her arms.

"What now?"

"No. It's please."

"Fine. PLEASE hand me that yellow bag over there?"

"Okay!" She said happily. Little Kagome grabbed the bag and started to drag it towards Inuyasha, she didn't except it to be so heavy! "Well hurry up will ya!" exclaimed Inuyasha when Kagome didn't move. She got behind the bag and pushed it the rest of the way. When Inuyasha finally got the bag he reached inside and pulled out two cups of ramen, a stand and a small metal pot, he was getting annoyed with Kagome as she watched in amazement as he put water in the cup, the pot on the stand and the cup in the heated pot to cook. He lit a fire in the middle pit and placed the stand over the fire, as he watched the food cook Kagome was watching him, 'Hmm that is what it must have been like when I was watching her do this for me...'

Outside With The Trio

"...and that's why were making sure Inuyasha stays with Kagome at all times, he's the only one who can protect her at all times."

"Miroku, that won't work, he'll insist that one of us take care of Kagome."

"Not if we don't listen to him my dear Sango."

"So...ignore Inuyasha?"

"Right Shippo."

'Okay it's your funeral'

Inside The Hut

Watching Inuyasha the whole time, Kagome felt herself falling in love with the big dog man in front of her. Inuyasha finished his meal when, 'I can't I let this happen to her how-wait something's wrong...' Inuyasha thought before he starts to feel someone's eyes on him. Shooting his head he startles the young girl who was the culprit the whole time. "What are you looking at?"

"I like your ears." she says before getting up and reaching for them. Rubbing them so lightly Kagome gets a small purr from Inuyasha.

"No! Stop it." Inuyasha states getting out of his trance and reach.

"Why? I did before. Do you not like me anymore?"

"No, it's not that at all Kagome. We need to talk." he snapped back, Kagome gives up and sits back down. "So...you don't remember anything about us? You and me, the adventures we went on, anything?"

"No." Inuyasha sat back down and cross his arms and legs, Kagome mimicked him as a game and made a funny face.

"Well, what do you remember?"

"My momma and daddy. She was telling me how cute I was in my new kimono she bought me..." Kagome let go of her arms and placed them in her lap, her face changed to sad, "I miss her... Did she say when she would be back, or how long I had to be here for? I'm don't mind staying here, but I wanna see my momma" Kagome says before putting her head down against her chest, Inuyasha reached his hand out to grab Kagome, but she looked up before he got the chance to. "Inuyasha...tell me about your mommy..."

"Huh? Well I can't remember too much. She...died when I was little."

"Oh I'm sorry..." Kagome stood up and wrapped her arms around his neck and rubbed her face agaisnt his face, "It's okay, my mommy says that when people die that they go to a better place so they can watch over their loved ones."

"The details are vague, but I'll always remember the way she held me in her arms at night. Protecting me from any danger and loving me to no end."

"Ca-can you show me how she held you?"

"Hmm what's the magic word?"

"Please?"

"Feh. Come here." With that Inuyasha scooped Kagome in his arms, she rested her head on his bicep while his forearm and legs supported the rest of her body. He used her clawed hands to comb through her jet black hair, "She held me like this..."

"Hmmm that feels nice..."
