Chapter 3-Inuyasha's Dream

Inuyasha walked back to the village….what had just happened had been the biggest and most traumatic event that had ever happened to him. Even worse than the time when Kikyo had left him.

He was so confused; he didn't know what to do! Life without Kagome? How…how could he manage! He was so used to her presence, her smell, just, her everything! He sighed heavily….I can't believe Kagome left me for…Kouga….(Inuyasha).

"What happened Inuyasha? How is Kagome?…Miroku asked as he slowly got up from the floor he was sleeping on.

It was now around sunrise and Miroku seemed to be the only one that had woken up so far. Shippo was still sprawled on the floor, in the most awkward position, that made even Inuyasha wonder how he could sleep so comfortably…and Sango lay gracefully on the mat as well, gently breathing in and out in peace. Everyone seemed at peace- …if only, if only they found out what just happened it might not be so peaceful anymore…(Inuyasha).

Miroku stared at Inuyasha's face…he knew something had happened- he could tell by looking at his scrunched up, concerned face. He walked closer to him and laid a hand on his shoulder….Inuyasha glanced up…"Inuyasha…what happened? Where is Kagome?"

"…I…I don't wanna talk about it…"

"Come on Inuyasha…it can't be that bad…"

"Ya...well actually it is…"

"No, it can't be that bad…just tell me…maybe you'll feel better afterwards.."

"I said not now…"

"It can't be that bad…"

"YES DAMN IT- IT IS!"

…and just like that Inuyasha jumped out of the hut and out of sight.

Miroku sat back down…Inuyasha and his temper…those things will never change (Miroku)…he thought as he shook his head silently. He sighed to himself… I wonder why Inuyasha is so upset. Usually when he's like this then something serious happened….I hope it's not too bad…I don't want to end up loosing a good friend like Kagome Chan. (Miroku).

He looked up….Inuyasha had come back…it seemed like his anger had died down…though he had jumped into a nearby tree and was staring into the nothingness of the sky.

Miroku got up…he decided that maybe he should go and have a good talk with his good friend…he could be unreasonable at times…but he was the only one that could talk some sense into him, and he didn't want Inuyasha to do something stupidly drastic.

He trudged over to the bottom of the tree and glanced up…"Inuyasha…don't be silly, come down…even Sango and Shippo have woken up trying to know where Kagome is…they haven't seen her since the last demon battle you had and they're starting to get worried."

"So?" Inuyasha mumbled in a childish voice.

Sigh "SO…I think you should come down and explain what's going on…."

"Well I don't want to! Just leave me the hell alone damn it!"

"Inuyasha…."

"DAMN IT MIROKU! WHAT! WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO TELL YOU? THAT KAGOME LEFT ME LAST NIGHT AND RAN OFF WITH THAT SON OF A GUN KOUGA!"Inuyasha bellowed in extreme anger- irritated to the top.

"WHAT!"

"YA…you heard me right…Kagome left me!"

"…well Inuyasha….think about it, you never really showed your true feelings to Kagome now did you? What…did you expect her to stay with you for so long and just wait until you matured and grew up to finally except her…what did you expect- I told you to make your move…I guess Kouga just did it before you did.."

"SHUT UP MIROKU!"

"Well…I'm just saying what it is Inuyasha…now what happened that finally cracked some sense into Kagome?"

-------------------------------------------(So Inuyasha explains the whole story)-----------------------------------------------

"…I see…well that's really interesting" Miroku said as he rubbed his chin slowly…

"Ya…well isn't it…" Inuyasha said in an annoyed voice with his hands crossed over, rolling his eyes….

"Well…Inuyasha, I know that it will take you a while to get over Kagome, I mean you guys did have a really good "indirect" relationship…"

"Indirect- what do you mean?"

"I mean that both of you knew that you liked each other…but you guys never actually "dated"…"

"Whatever.." Inuyasha said passively.

"Ya…well Inuyasha I think that you should try to get over Kagome…I mean, I don't think she's gonna come back to you…"

"Ya…I know that…she'll be too busy in bed with that stupid mutt to even remember me.."

"…riiight…well you can't expect this to be her fault.."

"What the hell! YA IT IS! SHE LEFT ME YOU IDIOT!"

"…damn…I really wish Kagome was here…then she could say sit…"

"Shut up Miroku…"

Sango walked out from the hut. Hands on her hips, tapping her foot impatiently… "Inuyasha- I can't believe you made Kagome run away!"

"Huh!"

"You heard me right…why did you make Kagome run away!"

"DAMN- I didn't! She left ME!"

"Riggggght…now who knows how long it'll be till she comes back!"

Sango walked over to the nearby tree and sat down beside Inuyasha..."Look Inuyasha, we all really liked Kagome…she was so nice to all of us…and she helped balance out your temper. Now that she's gone… you're gunna have to find another person…"

Shippo walked out…yawning loudly and rubbing his slowly eyes. "What's going on…"

"Kagome left Inuyasha and she might not come back.." said Miroku in a monotone voice.

"WHAT! KAGOME"S GONE!" squeaked Shippo

"Ahhh...shut up twirp before I bash you so hard that you won't even be able to recognize your face anymore…"

"Eeep…"…better keep quiet…Inuyasha's not in a very good mood. (Shippo).

"Give it a break Inuyasha…" growled Miroku.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was late in the night and the whole gang had been talking late into the night about what they should do now that Kagome had left them. Surprisingly, Miroku had been the most supportive towards Inuyasha. Mainly because currently he was in a similar situation with Sango.

"Well...it's getting late… I think I'm going to hit the hay…though it will be awkward knowing that Kagome won't be coming back anymore…" yawned Sango, slowly stretching her arms. She got up and said good night. Soon afterwards…Shippo followed in behind her…half drooping with sleep.

There sat Miroku and Inuyasha around the small bonfire they had created earlier. All alone. It was dead silent. Miroku stared at Inuyasha…

"Inuyasha… I know how you must feel at this time. It must be pretty hard trying to cope with something like this. If you ever need to talk then remember that I'm here for you…" Miroku whispered as he slowly rubbed Inuyasha's shoulder…

He got up and walked back to the hut….Miroku's such a good friend…I don't know what I'd do without him…(Inuyasha).

Slowly yawning Inuyasha also decided it was well past his time to go to sleep. Yawning, he trudged to the hut and laid across from Miroku. It felt weird not having anyone to protect anymore.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Help! Help! Inuyasha help me!" screamed Miroku…he was stuck behind a cave that had been blocked off by boulders.

"Miroku! I'm coming- don't worry!" yelled Inuyasha!

Quickly he ran over to the cave where he had heard Miroku's voice. With all his strength he pulled the boulders away! As soon as the passage was clear- there ran out Miroku- in…. a short skirt and white top…just like Kagome's clothes!

"Oh Inuyasha! Thank you so much!" Miroku said as he slowly ran towards him…and hugged him tightly…he looked up slowly towards Inuyasha's face and smiled sweetly…"My hero…."

Suddenly the scene changed…now Inuyasha and Miroku (still in Kagome's clothes) were holding hands and running through a field full of daisies! Running happily through them…giggling….then Miroku turned towards Inuyasha…and so did he…

"Inuyasha?"

"Ya Miroku.."

"I'll always be here for you…"

...and he leaned forward...towards Inuyasha's lips…Inuyasha edged in closer….

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"HOLY SHIT!" Inuyasha woke up startled…sweat dripping down his face, as he breathed heavily thinking about what had just happened…

Ha ha… well I hope you guys liked this chapter!
