Chapter 15
"OMG SHIPPOU!" Kagome hugged the kitsune really tight and Shippou could barely breathe.
"Kagome!" Shippou began to shed tears of joy.
Inuyasha smiled and sat down in a nearby chair to watch the two bond. To see Kagome so happy it made him happy as well. This new kind of feeling will of course have to get used to but he was ready. Ready to face this new life he chose over his old life.
"Inuyasha I don't know how to thank you. This is all over whelming I think I'm feeling light headed. I think it's because of all this excitement. I think I'm going to take a nap" Kagome laid back down and Shippou sat on Inuyasha's shoulder.
"But you need to make us human so we can fit into this world of yours" Inuyasha remarked.
"I'll do it when I wake up" Kagome yawned and went to sleep.
"She looks so peaceful when she sleeps" Shippou said.
"Yeah, she looks almost like an angel" Inuyasha agreed.
Shippou is so happy to see Kagome but her in the hospital gives him the creeps like just like it made Inuyasha. Kagome's face is still pale and she still feels like shit. Still tired, moody, pale, sick, happy, and worried about her friends: Yuki, Eri, and Ayumi.
Kagome's dream:
"RING"
"RING"
"That noise. That noise is sounds so familiar" Kagome saying in her head while laying in her bed.
"Kagome! Kagome! Get up or you will miss school" Mrs. Higurashi shouted in to the bedroom.
Kagome opened her eyes to find herself in her own bedroom.
"Huh? Wasn't I in the hospital? And where is Inuyasha and Shippou?" Kagome shouted.
"Inuyasha? Shippou? Who are they?" Mrs. Higurashi entered her room.
"You know Inuyasha half demon half human and Shippou is in Feudal Japan where I travel there through the ancient well. You know the Bone Eaters Well. I practically live there now missing school and I fight demons" Kagome tried to explain but it just seemed to be a dream.
"Kagome you must of had a dream and you thought it was real. The Bone Eaters Well is closed and you've been to school every day. So get up and get ready for school" Mrs. Higurashi said and left the room.
"A dream? Could Inuyasha just be a dream? Could all these memories be false? Could all of it be false memories? It was all a dream that I couldn't wake up to? It doesn't make sense" Kagome got ready as she thought of her "dream".
"Kagome your mother told me of your ridiculous story. The Bone Eaters Well was always and will always be sealed. You can even see for yourself" Gramps remarked.
Kagome left the house to go to school and on her way she checked the Bone Eaters Well shrine. She opened it up to find her gramps right. The well was closed and the seals were all over it. It must have been a dream. Inuyasha was just a dream to her. He wasn't real to her anymore and she vowed to herself she wouldn't worry about these false memories.
"HEY!" Yuki called out from behind Kagome.
"Kagome wait up!" Ayumi called out as well.
"You girls don't have to run she will wait for us" Eri stated.
"No way" Yuki and Ayumi said at the same time and ran ahead.
"Hey girls" Kagome smiled.
"How's your boyfriend. Did he give you anymore gifts?" Ayumi asked.
"Who is my boyfriend?" Kagome was thinking they meant Inuyasha.
"You know Hojo" Yuki reminded.
"Hojo and I aren't going out. We are just friends!" Kagome said.
"Kagome!" Hojo came by riding on his bicycle with a gift in his hand.
"Speak of the devil" Ayumi replied.
"What's this for?" Kagome asked while being handed Hojo's gift for her.
"It's for your birthday of course" Hojo smiled.
"My birthday? My fifteenth birthday is today?" Kagome all surprised.
"Don't tell me you forgot your own birthday Kagome" Eri surprised as well.
"No I didn't just surprised you remembered it" Kagome saved herself from the embarrassment.
She went about the day normal and was returning home. While walking home, she couldn't but think about her "dream" and today forgetting her own birthday. Something just doesn't feel right. She stopped to look at the evening sky to see a Inuyasha in the sky but once she blinked it was gone. She just couldn't understand why she was feeling so down and why this Inuyasha character was in her mind all the time.
"I'm home" Kagome shouted.
"Hey dear. How was school?" Kagome's mother asked. "Kagome?" Mrs. Higurashi looked up to see only her daughter's bookbag in the room with her.
Kagome returned to the Bone Eaters Well to see if it was true again. The more she thought about it, the more she believed she just had a horrible dream. A dream she finally woke up from to return to reality. Well that's what she thinks. Night time came and Kagome fell as sleep studying again.
Back to the real reality with Inuyasha:
"You're awake. Finally" Inuyasha welcomed Kagome back from the sleeping world.
"Not again" Kagome complained.
"Huh? What again?" Inuyasha asked.
"I'm dreaming again. Why am I dreaming of you? You're not even real" Kagome explained.
"WHAT? What the hell is the matter with you Kagome? I'm real, you were just asleep" Inuyasha replied.
"No! You're not real and so are you...you...fox demon! None of this is real! I'm Kagome Higurashi, a school girl, a dreamer of going to college and nothing else. This is just a bad horrible dream! So leave me alone!" Kagome shouted.
Tears began to fall upon Shippou's face. Inuyasha was stunned as ever and the look on Kagome's face scared him more then her attached to the tubes. What does this mean? Was this the sickness' fault? Was it playing with her mind with reality? Or was it Naraku's doing?
"Kagome what is wrong with you" Shippou asked.
"SHUT UP! JUST LET ME WAKE UP!" Kagome shouted even louder.
"Kagome..." Inuyasha said under his breath.
"FINE!" With that Shippou jumped out of the window and disappeared.
"Shippou!" Inuyasha rushed to the window but the young kitsune was gone. "Damn it Shippou" Inuyasha cursed.
Inuyasha got ready to jump but before he did he looked back at Kagome. An angered Kagome was staring at him and he hated it. Sadness and anger was written all over his face and then he left. Kagome was still angry but when he left a sad Kagome showed.
"Am I dreaming or was this always real? Are these false memories or are they true?" Kagome asked herself.
She thought real hard and she knew what was in her heart. This was real. Inuyasha and Shippou and the others were real. Feudal Japan was real of course but the fact she could travel though the worlds was defiantly true. She had just made the biggest mistake of her life and she was afraid they would never come back. First her friends in this era and now she was loosing her Feudal friends. The friends she stood by, took care of, loved, and the ones who made her for what she was. Everything was going in slow motion at the time and she had to find Inuyasha before he left her for good. So Kagome got out of bed and traveled down the hall to the elevator but she couldn't be seen so she decided to use the stairs instead. Remember Kagome is still weak and fragile. Kagome made her way to the stairways and opened the door and shut it on her way in.
Back To Inuyasha on his search for the kitsune:
"Damn it Shippou. Where the hell did you get to?" Inuyasha cursed and while he jumped from building to building.
The hanyou searched and searched but no sign of the kitsune anywhere. No sign, stench, or annoying talking from Shippou anywhere. It was getting frustrating and harder to go on.
"You know what his sent is only at the hospital. How stupid can I get?" Inuyasha asked himself and turned around.
Inuyasha reached the hospital in no time and found the little fox demon, Shippou, on top of the roof crying. There he sat alone watching the sky from above, admiring the city, and crying for what Kagome had said to him earlier. And of course when everything was going so well it turns out to be another adventure of sorrow.
Back to Kagome traveling downstairs:
"Oh come on not now. I can't be dizzy now. I'm trying to walk downstairs!" Kagome complained.
There Kagome was still on top of second stair way to freedom until the dizziness was coming back. That's when it really got worse. Her vision became blurry and she finally collapsed. Kagome fell down the stairs to the bottom. She hit her head and a big cut was formed. Black and blue spots would appear after a while and the worst part was, she was alone. No one new where she was besides herself. No one to take her back and clean up the cut on her face. Her knocked out on the cool hard floor gave her more injuries she really didn't need now.
