Chapter 16
Kagome pulled her blanket closer, feeling Shippo roll over behind her in the bed. Her brown eyes lingered half-open, wandering over the dark room aimlessly. 'I completely forgot...I have to go to another village in a couple days...' Kagome shifted slightly in her sleep, she knew Inuyasha was in the tree outside, she distinctly heard him mumbling as he jumped into it's branches earlier. "Hmmm..." Kagome sighed, curling up comfortably-closing her eyes softly as she drifted into sleep. 'What am i going to do with you Inuyasha...' A smile touched Kagome's lips, reminding her of their earilier argument-which she had enjoyed.

Inuyasha woke up the next morning to the sound of young children beneath his tree. "Inuyasha-chan! Where is Lady Kagome?" A small group of village children looked up into his ember orbs. Inuyasha blinked a few times, checking the window before realizing she wasn't there. "Oh wait! There comes Lady Kagome! Lady Kagome!" Inuyasha looked ahead of where the children began to run, meeting with Kagome and Shippo, who were coming into the village with a rather large basket of herbs. Inuyasha's ears twitched lightly as he yawned-stretching while overhearing Kagome conversation with the children.
"Wow Shippo?! Where did you get all those herbs!" One child followed by Shippo in amazement, while the others followed behind, rambling about the amounts of herbs in their hands. Shippo proudly carried his bundle while replying. "We gathered them out in the forest all morning! They are for Kagome's trip!" Kagome smiled back to Shippo. "You have to leave us Kagome?" A young girl tugged on Kagome's skirt. "Hai, I have to visit another village for a couple days, but I will be back soon-I promise." Kagome gave the girl a reassuring smile, while pausing at the hut door to see the children off. "You guys stay close to the village while I'm gone..." All the children promptly agreed and went off to play.
Shippo and Kagome entered Sango and Miroku's beaded hut door, while Inuyasha curiously followed in after them. "Leave? Where do you think your going?" Kagome looked back curiously while setting down her basket. "I have to go to another village...if you were intent on easedropping-you should have heard me say that..." Kagome gave him a playful smile. Inuyasha put his hands inside his kimono sleeves. "Well then, I suppose I will have to join you..." "And why is that?" Kagome objected readily-knowing he was going to say it. Sango an Miroku walked in about this time.
"I think it's a good idea that Inuyasha go with you...I would worry less if he were along..." Kagome sighed in defeat at Sango's pleading eyes. "Alright...But as long as you're coming, YOU can carry the herbs..." Kagome gave Inuyasha a final look of triumph, while he stared back in a look of annoyance. Kagome sat down beside the large basket, picking out herbs and brushing them up, laying them in a pack for travel carefully. "So...you are training to be a miko now...guess you've learned alot..." Inuyasha's eyes wandered innocently while he spoke. Kagome cocked an eyebrow at his intentions, before going back to work-answering nonchalantly. "Hai...I've learned alot from Kaede..."
Before they realized it, night had fallen, and everyone sat around a glowing fire-talking about nothing in particular. Sango was poking fun at Miroku. "Hai, well he is still a bit of a hentai at times..." Sango smiled as Miroku put his arms around her, smiling sneakily, he began to tickle her. Sango burst into laughter-squirming around, trying to break free of the monk's grip. Kagome laughed, enjoying the sight of her friend's happiness. Kagome got up, making her way to the beaded door. "Play nice you two...I have to go get some rest for my trip tommorrow...Night guys..." Sango and Miroku calmed down, seeing Kagome leave. "We'll be up to see you off in the morning. Night Kagome!" Sango called to her friend from her husband's arms.
Kagome walked through the warm night air, spotting Inuyasha already in his tree just outside her home. "You better get some rest Inuyasha, it's a long trip ahead of us..." Kagome walked past the tree and through the beaded hut door, Shippo not far behind. Inuyasha watched her go inside, rolling his eyes and settling into sleep. Kagome readied her things before joining Shippo in her bed, pulling th blankets up as she was pulled into sleep.
_-=-*Kagome's Dream*-=-_
Kagome stood far above the earth, looking over the forest and villages under her feet. Bursts of light could be seen for miles-small fragments of the jewel shards were in her sight. 'I can see them...I can see them all...' Kagome felt herself falling, but she wasn't afraid. Her body limply fell towards the earth as she stared up at the sky. She closed her eyes, opening them she found she was back home. Her mother was calling her to get up for school.
Kagome's breathe caught up in the back of her throat, seeing her mother walk into her room. "Kagome dear, it's time to get up for school." Kagome blinked a few times. "Mom...what's going on..." "Dear, are you feeling alright?" Kagome clamed into her realization. 'That's right, this is a dream...it has to be...' Kagome put on a watery smile, giving her mother a hug. 'It's not real...' Kagome sighed, closing her eyes again-this time letting a tear escape before reopening her eyes to discover she was in Inuyasha's arms. She quickly sat up, looking at the sleeping hanyou with blushing cheeks. His ears twitched and his eyes fluttered open.
He gazed at her with soft ember hues, half-asleep. "Something wrong Kagome?" Kagome shook her head softly. "Nothing..." She settled her body back into his arms, perfectly fitting into his embrace. Inuyasha lazily placed his chin on her head, kissing the top of her head gently, then sitting with his arms around her comfortably. 'If only I could stay here...If I could lay wrapped in your arms forever...but eventually-I'll wake up...to a place where there is no me and Inuyasha...there is no happily ever-after....' Kagome sighed, taking in every moment as she snuggled closer to Inuyasha.
Perfect by nature
Icons of self indulgence
Just what we all need
More lies about a world that
Never was and never will be
Have you no shame? Don't you see me?
You know you've got everybody fooled
Look here she comes now
Bow down and stare in wonder
Oh how we love you
No flaws when you're pretending
But now I know she
Never was and never will be
You don't know how you've betrayed me
And somehow you've got everybody fooled
Without the mask where will you hide?
Can't find yourself, lost in your lie
I know the truth now
I know who you are
And I don't love you anymore
It never was and never will be
You don't know how you've betrayed me
Somehow you've got everybody fooled
It never was and never will be
You're not real and you can't save me
Somehow now you're everybody's fool
Kagome buried her face into Inuyasha's chest, feeling the tender touch of his clawed hands brushing over her hair gently. She could smell his sweet earthy scents, she could feel the warmth of his body next to hers. 'Why do I have to leave...why can't we be this way forever...' Kagome felt herself being pulled back into reality, an saly, she couldn't fight it. She simply sighed, resting in Inuyasha's arms until the world she loved became no more.
Kagome opened her eyes, letting a tear escape her brown hues, wetting her pillow softly. She smiled weakly. 'All good things come to an end...and we can't sleep forever...' Kagome sat up, seeing it was early morning she began to prepare her things to leave, looking out the window to spy Inuyasha's sleeping figure in the tree. 'If things were different Inuyasha...if only things could be different...'

I hope you liked this one. It was a little bit longer, and I had another dream going on-just to show you Kagome's heart is in the right place. This story is so fun to write! I hope you are all enjoying it! Just wait until you see what happens when Kagome and Inuyasha are out together-alone! Definately gonna get fluffy...oo yeah-by the way, I'm pretty sure Rin does call Sesshy 'Lord Fluffy' later on in the series, though I've yet to hear it...Ja Ne
