Tami: OVER 400 REVIEWS!! WOOHOO!!!!!!!! I love you guys so much. I'm sorry
I haven't been updating as much as I used to. My schedule keeps getting
busier. Well, today, I'm free to write. My idea is going to come into play,
and I think a lot of you will be surprised. Whether that's good or bad
thing is still up in the air. A plot bunny bit me so there's going to be a
lot of stuff today. There's gonna be a little fluff too, based on a dream I
had last night (well, except for one part that I'm sure you'd figure out
didn't happen, though it would sorta rock if it did). It was a goooooood
dream too. *dreamy grin* Me and a guy who will be called Jake for all
intents and purposes. I just wish this would really happen, between Jake OR
the one I put in his place.

Last time:
"I swear. Talking is a good thing, guys. We all aren't telepathic." Kagome said. Inuyasha looked up at her.
"You and Sango do it," he said matter-of-factly.
"That's because all girls do it. Especially in the presence of stupid boys."
"Hey!" the three guys said indignantly. Sango and Kagome laughed. Inuyasha climbed to his feet and brushed the dirt off his clothes. He thought of something while he did.
"Thank you, Kagome," he said. Kagome looked at him, surprised.
"For what?"
"The clothes. Thank you." Kagome blushed.
"No problem." Inuyasha shook his head and returned to walking. He could tell Kagome was confused.
'Some things are too important to abuse.'
Now:
That night, Kagome fell asleep thinking about Inuyasha.
~# Dream #~
Kagome was sitting in a school assembly by herself. Then, for some strange reason, the cast of That's So Raven walked in. The spitting teacher walked in too. She couldn't quite make out what he was saying. The cast sat down with her, but instead of Orlando Brown, it was some other guy. They all started talking. Someone shushed them. Sometime later, one of Kagome's friends turned around. "Who do you like, Kagome?" she asked. Kagome blushed.
"I-Inuyasha." Kagome stammered. When the assembly was over, Kagome was walking down the hall when Inuyasha, dressed in a school uniform, stopped her.
"I have a question for you Kagome," he said. He looked a little embarrassed.
"Okay." Kagome turned to face him.
"Um, how should I ask this?" He put a hand behind his head and looked at the ceiling, thinking. "I guess I'll just ask." Kagome blinked.
"Kagome, will you go out with me this Friday night?" Kagome snapped her eyes open. It wasn't Inuyasha anymore. It was Sesshoumaru. A smile spread across Kagome's face.
"I'd love to, Sesshoumaru," she answered.
~# End Dream #~
Kagome's eyes snapped open and she sat up. That was weird. The whole dream was, really. She knew she liked Inuyasha. There was no question about that. Everything had gotten so weird lately. Sesshoumaru had definitely become more likeable since he lost his memory, but he was Sesshoumaru still. So why had he replaced Inuyasha? And why hadn't she seemed to care?
~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~
In the morning, Kagome was still thinking about her dream. She hadn't had anymore that she could remember, but this one stood out vividly still. She was walking more towards the back of the group, near Sesshoumaru. He noticed she was distracted. "Kagome?" he asked. She jumped and looked over her shoulder at him.
"Hm?" she replied.
"Is everything all right?" She blushed and turned around.
"Everything's fine. Why wouldn't it be?"
"You seem a little distracted."
"Oh, um, I didn't sleep well, last night."
"You slept fine when I saw you." It was a good thing she wasn't facing backward anymore. She was blushing furiously. Sesshoumaru was just as glad as she was. A light blush stained his cheeks. 'I cannot believe I just said that.'
"W-well, um, I had a weird dream; I was just thinking about it."
"Oh, all right." They walked in silence for a few minutes. "Would you like to tell me about it?" Kagome shook her head, not trusting her voice. Inuyasha had heard the entire conversation and turned around to see. When he looked at Kagome, he snorted with laughter. Sango saw the direction he was looking, and just had to see for herself. She saw Kagome, then she noted the expression on Sesshoumaru's face. She nudged Miroku. He looked and had to turn back around before he started laughing. He and Sango shared laughter-filled looks. Kagome saw them looking and knew what they were thinking. She glared at all of them. Rin ran up to Kagome.
"Kagome-san, why is your face all red?" she asked. They could hold back anymore. All three of them burst out laughing.
"No reason, Rin," Kagome answered. She glared at all of them. Inuyasha shut up so he wouldn't get sat. Sesshoumaru looked at them curiously, which only made them laugh harder. Rin shrugged and climbed back up on Ah-Uhn with Shippou.
"Grown ups are funny."
"I know." Shippou answered. "Especially when they argue." Rin gave him a questioning look. "Inuyasha and Kagome get into the best fights, then Kagome sits him. He gets what he deserves."
"I HEARD THAT YOU RUNT!" Inuyasha yelled. A sharp twang reached Sesshoumaru's ears. He ran forward and shoved Inuyasha out of the way of Kikyo's arrow. He got shot in the chest instead. The arrow was filled to the breaking point with purifying magic. He screamed in pain as the powerful magic coursed through his veins. Inuyasha stared at him in disbelief and horror. Sesshoumaru's eyes turned red as Kagome ran to him. Shippou was holding a screaming Rin. Sango and Miroku sprang towards the direction the arrow came from, with a single thought: kill Kikyo. She had caused so much pain to the group already. She deserved to die, and they couldn't wait for Inuyasha to do it. Kirara would have run after them, but she saw the torment in Inuyasha's eyes. He couldn't understand it. Sesshoumaru was dying. 'He saved me?'
"It's okay, Sesshoumaru. Hold on. I'm gonna pull the arrow out." Kagome said. Sesshoumaru shivered at her words, but tried his best to stifle his screams. Kagome grabbed the arrow, and tried to pull it out. She couldn't do it; she was only adding to his pain by pulling on it. Tears were making her vision fuzzy. Inuyasha heard the distant sound of more arrows twanging and an ungodly sized boomerang flying through the air. It was soft, but he could hear Miroku tugging at the prayer beads around his wrist. Inuyasha gently moved Kagome out of the way. Sesshoumaru swatted his hand away as he reached to pull out the arrow.
"No." Sesshoumaru gasped out. The arrow would burn any demon that touched it. He didn't want Inuyasha to be hurt. Kagome saw the problem and laid her hands on the arrow. Inuyasha laid his hands over hers. He winced. A little of the magic was getting through anyway. He pulled the arrow out. Sesshoumaru fell backwards, yelping in pain. Rin tried desperately to get out of Shippou's grip. Kagome immediately started rummaging through her bag. Inuyasha tore off his outer shirt and pressed it to the wound to stop the blood from flowing.
"What were you thinking?" Inuyasha asked, sounding a little angry. "You should've let me get shot, you idiot. You've been healing like crazy lately and I haven't. Even with your memories gone you should know better." Sesshoumaru smiled weakly.
"Time to start being a good big brother again." Kagome came back over with her first aid kit.
"Very cute and all, but move, Inuyasha." Sango and Miroku shuffled back to the group, a few minor scratches was all that was apparent until Miroku sagged hard against Sango. She held his weight and winced at her own wounds. He grunted in pain. His purple robe was getting an increasingly large red spot on it. "Oh, no. Miroku." Kagome kept looking over at him as she tended to Sesshoumaru. Sango gently helped Miroku lay down. He smiled bravely at her.
~!~! Sango and Miroku's Battle !~!~
When they got to Kikyo, Sango and Miroku attacked her without question. She shot at them, but they dodged as best they could. The arrows nicked them here and there. Sango threw her boomerang straight at Kikyo, and she barely managed to avoid being hit. Miroku ran in and hit her with his staff. She retaliated by taking an arrow in her hand and stabbing him in the side. He yelled in pain and started tugging on his prayer beads. "MIROKU!" Sango screamed. She ran to his side and he stopped pulling at the beads. Sango swung the Hiraikotsu over her head at Kikyo. It hit her in the leg. She yelped and summoned her soul stealers. They swarmed around her and lifted her off the ground. Sango threw the Hiraikotsu again. The soul stealers deflected it. Kikyo got away. Sango fell to her knees beside Miroku. "Are you okay?" Miroku nodded but winced. "Liar. Come on, we got to get you back so we can clean you up." She helped him to his feet. He pressed a hand to his wound and started walking back. Sango grabbed his arm to support him. She guided him back, making sure he had to move as little as possible so he wouldn't make it bleed more. As it was, they were leaving a small trail of droplets of blood. His face was getting paler and paler.
"Sango," he groaned, looking up at her.
"It's okay, Miroku. We're almost back." He stifled a whimper and leaned on her a little more. She barely managed to keep the wince off her face. "You'll be fine, Miroku." 'You have to be fine.' As they got to the clearing, Miroku sagged on her more heavily, his eyelids drooping.
"So.tired."
"Don't go to sleep yet. I'll go get some bandages. Whatever you do, Miroku- chan, do not go to sleep." She hurried as fast as her wounds would let her. Miroku's mind filtered through what Sango said and landed on her little slip.
'Chan?' A smile spread slowly across his face as his eyes started to close. Kirara nipped his fingers to keep him awake. Sango ignored her own wounds until she made sure Miroku was bandaged and comfortable. Kagome had tried to help, but Sango had refused to let her. Kagome gave up and sat with Sesshoumaru. He was sleeping heavily. Inuyasha sat in a tree, Kirara in his lap. As night fell, Shippou and Rin curled up together in Kagome's sleeping bag. Ah-Uhn walked over to Sesshoumaru and Kagome. Uhn nuzzled Kagome's shoulder.
~Do not worry, Lady Kagome. Lord Sesshoumaru has recovered from many worse wounds,~ he said. Inuyasha translated for her. Kagome scratched Uhn's nose and smiled. Ah tentatively moved his head closer to her.
"He want's to be scratched too." Inuyasha mumbled. Kagome did as requested. Ah let out a breathy sigh. They laid down there and fell asleep. Ah left his head in Kagome's lap. Kagome leaned back against Uhn's neck.
'For such a fearsome looking creature, Ah-Uhn's a big softy,' she thought as she drifted off to sleep. Sango sat with Miroku, gingerly tending her own wounds.
"You should have taken care of yourself first." Miroku whispered.
"No, I should not have. You were hurt worse than I was. You needed the attention first."
"Your life is much more important than mine." Sango shook her head and frowned.
"No it isn't. You have just as much importance as anyone does. What would we do without you in our group?" Sango was extremely glad it was dark, though she thought if she blushed any harder, she would glow.
"Not be constantly groped for one."
"Well, you could definitely use some work in that department, but it's just one of those quirks that makes you who you are."
"Like how you always hit me after I grope you?" She smiled and nodded. She laid down beside him, just out of arm's reach. "If I promise not to grope, will you come closer?" She nodded after a brief hesitation and scooted closer to him. She laid her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes. Miroku looked at the top of her head in astonishment. 'She's.smells good.woah.' Sango fell asleep smiling. For the longest time, Miroku just watched her sleep. Inuyasha watched over the group from his tree, absentmindedly stroking Kirara.
"Everyone has someone," he whispered softly.
^You have me.^ Kirara said. He smiled sadly.
"No offense, but it's not quite the same." Kirara sighed to herself and looked over at Sango and Miroku. She climbed to her feet and jumped to another branch.
^Well, let's make it the same, then.^ Fire surrounded her. Instead of her larger cat form, she changed into a human form. Inuyasha blinked in surprise. Kirara stood about Kagome's height with yellow-blonde hair and reddish eyes. Two tails like the one she had in her cat form flicked lazily. Two furry black cat ears perched on her head. She blushed under Inuyasha's scrutiny. She wore a fur outfit much like Kouga's.
"What? How?"
"I didn't show anyone this form after Midoriko died. I was in this form that day. I thought if I had stayed in my other form, she might have lived, but even when I am in my other forms, people still get hurt. I might as well be comfortable as I fight." She tentatively sat down on his lap again. He wrapped his arms around her.

Tami: THAT was my idea. Who likes, who hates? Someone flamed me too. *sniff*Another plot bunny bit me at work and I will shortly be featuring a Rurouni Kenshin fic. For some reason, all my reviews were backwards, so I'll be responding backwards. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Review responses:
jarjayes : Nerve wracking does not even begin to describe it. You aren't writing it! ^_^ I love writing cliffies. Sweetie? Painting? Website? Fun! That would be a weird pairing. Lol. I is loved? *big grin* I haven't seen any of the Inu movies. I wish I could. *sigh* Sess is supposed to be out of character. He'll get back in character before the story ends and no one has guessed who Creepy Evil Lady is. I don't plan on telling for awhile either.
Anonymous: I appreciate you getting my butt moving. I wanted to put the shopping trip in here, because of what will come in later chapters. It was just taking me awhile to get there. I hope if you keep reading you will find the later chapters more to you liking.
Azn-anime: That sucks. No one should ever let you near a vacuum again. *laughs*
Suki1: Boat is back and the car is faster than ever. We are on a roll.
Lunatic Pandora1: You reviewed before didn't you? I personally don't have a problem with gay people, although my family does. (Not saying you're gay or anything. Boy, I run my mouth at the worst times.) That comes from reading slash fics. Anyway, Sesshoumaru rocks my socks. ^_^
emerald dragon hanyou: Do you have chibis?
Midnight-Chaos-Flame: Well, I thought, why would she like them? They're a constant reminder she's dead after all.
