Kami, domo arigato gonzaimasu!
Well, koko! The next chapter! O-matase shimatshita!!! Ano! I'll be putting my responses at the end of the chapter from now on, AND I'll be using more Japanese, ahem... the last couple of sentences ppl! Tell me if you think I'm using too much or if I should stop all together, and if you don't understand a phrase, feel free to ask!!!! Maybe I should put an index at the end after the responses, wadaya think?
Inuyasha looked away in embarrassment, hopping that Kagome hadn't caught his last couple words.
"Kagome!" Sango cried, rushing up to her friend and giving her a hug.
"Hey Sango!" said girl replied. Kagome suddenly felt a small weight on her chest, "Shippo!" she said happily. The little kitsune had been roused from sleep in all the commotion and now clung tightly to her, as if he though that he loosened his grip, the girl would slip away.
"Minna!", Miroku called out suddenly to silence the babbling girls, "I'm glad Kagome's back too, but it's pretty late, we should be getting to sleep."
"Miroku's right." Inuyasha called out, "We should be heading out ashita no asa... I heard a rumour of a shards whereabouts, it's over Gekko Bara Mountain."
The room went silent. The Gekko Bara Mountain was a long, perilous, and treacherous climb. They had all heard rumours of that mountain, even Kagome had heard about it, for those mountains still stood in her time. Yet out of all the rumours they had heard only Inuyasha knew were the name Gekko Bara, Moonlight Rose, truly came from. His mother had once told him that the Gekko Bara could cure any aliment and give the demonic long life to a human, but that it was only harvestable when it was fully bloomed, witch was pure midnight, a seiya, for in witch not a soul cloud could be in the sky.
"Well, were not gonna be well rested for tomorrow if we stand around here gawking!" Kagome half laughed, simultaneously snapping Inuyasha out of his trance.
Within a few minutes, everyone had there beds set out and were ready for sleep, every thing was quiet, if you didn't count the earlier SLAP "HENTAI!!!" from Sango.
"Oyasumi nasia minna!" Kagome said as she lay down in her sleeping bag, in between Sango and Inuyasha, who still sat against the wall. "Oyasumi nasia... Inuyasha." Kagome sweetly said. Inuyasha was slightly shocked that she had merly said it to everyone at once and then personally addressed it to him!
"Ano... O-oyasumi nasai, Kagome... oyasumi nasai." he mumbled in response, earning a slight giggle from Kagome as she drifted of to sleep.

Were the heck am I? Everything's so dark... I can't see a thing! Inuyasha? Inuyasha?! INUYASHA!!!
Huh? What's that? A-a person!! Hello?! Who's there?! Nani?!?!?! Some one's laughing... lie... they're... cackling! Wait! I know that evil laugh... on no! I-I've got to get out of here!! I've got to get away from Naraku!! I CAN'T MOVE!!! Lie, Kami, lie!!!
Inuyasha!
INUYASHA!!!!!!!!!
What's this? The laugh is going farther away, Naraku is... leaving? The darkness is ebbing away, too!! Light! I'm surrounded by it! Wait who's that of in the distance... he's coming closer... Inuyasha? It is!!
Wait... why is he embracing me? T-this must be a dream... but it's from one I don't want to wake... Inuyasha......................................................................................... Kimi wo Aishiteu....
---------------------------
Inuyasha was suddenly awakened from a soft rustling sound that gradually grew louder along with subdued whimpering. He slowly lifted his eyelids and looked around, thankful for his dog-like vision. Inuyashas amber eyes fell to the side of him where Kagome lay, trashing about, her face in obvious distress. Inuyasha was almost certain from the tortured whimpers escaping her lips, she would have screamed long ago if she were able. Inuyasha gently cradled the terrified miko into his arms, and to his surprise, she immediately calmed down. He was shocked even more so when Kagome gently lay one hand over his heart, the other around his waist, and rested her head on his chest. Kagomes beautiful face had gone from a look of sheer fear, to that of sweet harmony. It brought a smile to Inuyashas face as he to slowly feel back asleep, his final thoughts being... 'I wonder what Kagomes dreams have changed too, obviously to someone she cares about...'
If only Inuyasha could know how right he was...
(I could stop here... but I think I'll be nice and continue)
-------------------------
Early next morning, Kagome was the first to wake up.
Her eyes gently fluttered open as she found herself in a rather odd position, not that she minded.
Kagome had awoken to find herself held in Inuyashas arms, with his head lightly placed upon hers. Her head was rested against him chest as she listened to his rhythmic heart beat.
That's when Kagome remembered her dream... the whole dream. She cringed and her grip on Inuyashas waist tightened. Yet Kagome felt more at ease when she felt Inuyashas strong arms unconsciously tighten their grip around her.
She wanted to stay like this forever...
She felt so secure, like nothing in the world would ever harm her as long as she was in reach of those arms.
Suddenly, Kagome heard Inuyasha make some small moans, showing that he was waking up. Quickly, Kagome closed her eyes to pretend she was asleep, she wanted to stay there at least a little longer...
Inuyashas eyes slowly opened. He looked down at the supposedly sleeping Kagome. He thought she looked so happy, she truly was beautiful... wait... happy... 'Ah, crap!' Inuyasha thought, 'She is gonna KILL me when she wakes up...!' Inuyasha cringed at the thought of how much all those sit's were gonna hurt. Kagome felt Inuyasha cringe and thought that maybe something was wrong , so she gracefully opened her eyes and pretended to wake up.
Inuyasha swallowed hard, 'She's waking up!!!!!'
Kagome happily smiled at him and said, "Ohayo, Inuyasha!....uh...why do you look scared?"
Well THAT wasn't the reaction he was expecting to get...
"Ano.... you're not going to sit me into oblivion? You're not mad?!?!" he asked, rather confused, and thankful for that matter...
"No," Kagome responded sweetly, "Quite the contrary, actually!" she added, giving him a quick peck on the cheek, "Why would I be?" With that, Kagome got up and went to make breakfast. 'Oh, Kami!! Were did I get the courage to just do that?!?!?' Kagome thought in shock about the small kiss, little did she know, Inuyasha was thinking along the same lines...
'W-W-WHAT?!?!?!' Inuyasha thought in shock, his hand slowly rising to his cheek were Kagome had kissed him, his face a new shade of red. 'Did Kagome just kiss ME?!?! Whoa... dose she actually think of me the way I do her?! It sounds almost impossible, but dose what just happened prove it? I mean, she wasn't mad or freaked out by the fact she woke up in my arms, she KISSED ME, wari, wari, only on the cheek, but it still counts!!... dose it? I... I think for the first time, I have true confidence that she might just say yes!!!!' A broad smile crept across Inuyashas face as he went to help Kagome with breakfast.
