Some Dreams Can Come True, Ya Know!
Chapter 13: Goodbye
"Inuyasha, do you know where Sango and Miroku are?" Shippo asked Inuyasha as he ran up to him.
"I don't know, go and ask Midoriko or Kagome. One of them should know." Inuyasha said as he leaned his head back against the tree.
Shippo ran off to go and find one of the priestesses. It had been about three months since the young couples had been married. Inuyasha was sitting under a tree with Kia in his arms.
"How should I know where Sango and Miroku are? They're probably in our home or at the demon slayers village." Inuyasha thought as he tried to go back to sleep.
Kia started to cry and Inuyasha opened his eyes and started to try to shush her crying. He hadn't gotten much sleep lately because he had been having nightmares, so he avoided trying to sleep. He had been having dreams about having to kill Kagome and all of his friends, or watching Kagome, his sister, brother, mother, father and his friends die, or him dying. He didn't like it, though he did need his sleep.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome called as she ran up to the tree. Kia was still crying, so he handed Kia to Kagome, who instantly stopped crying when she got into Kagome's arms. She sat down next to him and looked into his eyes.
"You're tired." Kagome said.
"Nice guess. How did you know?" Inuyasha asked her.
"I can just tell. You haven't been sleeping well because you have been having nightmares about killing the others and me or having to watch the others or me die or you having to die. Right?" Kagome asked him. Inuyasha was stunned.
"You can tell? How?" Inuyasha asked her. Kagome sighed.
"I need to tell you something Inuyasha that I should have told you before. You may think that I'm crazy, but please try to believe me." Kagome said, a pleading look in her eye.
"I would never think that your crazy and I'll always believe you." Inuyasha said as he kissed her forehead.
"Okay. I sometimes have dreams about what will happen in the future. It first started to happen when I was supposed to come here after going to my time, but I was late. I dreamed that you were fighting Naraku. Then, that came true. I then dreamed how to wake you up and meeting Kimi. Then, I dreamed that Kimi was under Naraku's spell and that she was going to try to take my jewel shards.
"Then, I dreamed that you and Kimi turned human while we were fighting that giant spider. And just last night I dreamed you telling me that you were having nightmares. I know that I should have told you earlier, but it just kept on slipping my mind. Do you believe me Inuyasha?" Kagome asked him.
"Of course I do. Now if you have another vision or dream or anything like that, please tell me as soon as possible. Okay?" Inuyasha asked Kagome.
"Sure." Kagome said. Inuyasha leaned his head on Kagome's shoulder. They sat in silence until Kagome noticed that Inuyasha and Kimi had fallen asleep. Kagome smiled and leaned her head on Inuyasha's until she fell asleep as well.

"We have to do what?" Miroku asked Kagome as they walked down a path in the forest.
"We have to go and kill some demons for Ikeda Village. They have had demons attacking for the past month, but haven't been able to send someone to come find us. Okay?" Kagome explained.
"Oh, okay then." Miroku said. With Kagome were Inuyasha, Sango, Miroku, Shippo, Kimi, and Midoriko.
"Sango, I need to tell you something. You probably won't like it, but you have to listen. You won't be able to fight when we get there." Kagome said.
"And why is that?" Sango asked though she already knew the answer.
"Dang it! I knew that this would happen!" Sango thought to herself.
"Because you're pregnant and you might hurt you child, and now ands, ifs, or buts. I won't listen to it." Kagome said, reading the expression on her face clearly.
"Hmph." Sango said as she crossed her arms.
They walked in silence until they came to a stop. There were rocks and trees on the path, blocking anyone from passing.
"Man, I guess that we'll have to go around." Kimi said with a sigh.
"Let's get moving if we want to get there in less that four days." Shippo said. They all started to make their way into the woods.
After about ten minutes, they finally came to a break in the trees large enough to pass through. They then proceeded to make their way towards the path again.
"So, what kind of demons have been attacking the village?" Midoriko asked Kagome, trying to break the eerie silence.
"Uh, I think just a lot of demons at random. They didn't really give any description." Kagome said. They finally came back to the path and followed it till they found a village.
"Well, it's getting dark, we should stay at this village for the night." Inuyasha said. Some beautiful women were making their way towards the gang. They went straight for Miroku, though he did nothing to make Sango angry. He just talked to them and ignored questions about where he was staying that night.
"Good boy, don't act up." Sango thought to herself as she watched her husband.
She watched them lead her husband into a big hall, where they would no doubt give him food. "Well, looks like we found a meal!" Shippo said excitedly.
"Yeah, and Shippo, Sango, if they offer any sake, you two are NOT allowed to have any. Got that?" Kagome said.
"Yes." They said, though Sango didn't really care for sake. They all made their way to the hall, where they were served a number of dishes.
"That was good!" Kimi said, sitting back against the wall.
"Yeah, your right. Other than Kagome's food, this is the best food that I ever tasted!" Inuyasha said doing the same as Kimi.
"We need to ask them if they have any huts that we can stay in for…" Shippo said, but stopped as Miroku walked over to them.
"Hey guys, the woman offered to let us stay in some of their guest huts! Come on! First ones there get to choose their huts!" Miroku said as he dashed off.
"He may be my husband, but he still has the ability to womanize." Sango said as Inuyasha helped her up.
The all stood and made their way towards their huts. As it turned out, Sango, and Miroku got to choose their cabins first. Kagome and Inuyasha got to choose second, Kimi and Shippo got the third one (Shippo had taken quite a liking to Kimi over the past three months.), and Kirara and Midoriko got the fourth cabin. They all said their good nights and went to bed.

"Have any of you seen Kirara?" Sango asked the gang as she walked in for breakfast the next morning.
"No, why?" Inuyasha asked through a mouthful of egg.
"I can't seem to find her." Sango said as she walked out of the room.
"I wonder where she is." Kimi said as she took another bite of egg.
XxXxXxXxXxXx
"Kirara!" Sango called as she walked through town. She heard a small mew behind her. Sango turned around to see Kirara, bumped and bruised. She looked like she could barley stand. Kirara mewed again and fell to the ground.
"Kirara!" Sango yelled as she ran over to Kirara and picker her up. Sango ran as fast as she could to find Kagome. She was still eating breakfast.
"Kagome!" Sango gasped as she ran into the room.
"What's the matter Sango?" Kagome asked her as she stood up.
When she saw Kirara, she said, "Come with me. I have some antidote and some medicine for the cuts." Kagome walked swiftly out of the room with Sango hot at her heels.
"Do you know what happened to her?" Kagome asked as she dug through her big yellow backpack.
"No. I was outside calling for her when I heard a mew behind me. I turned around to see her. She fell to the ground and I brought her to you as fast as I could." Sango said.
"Here, put this on her cuts and I'll get the antidote ready." Kagome said as she handed Sango a tube. Kagome had shown Sango how to use it before, so she knew how to use it. She took off the cap and put a little bit on her hand. She then placed the paste on Kirara's cuts and rubbed them in, making Kirara mew softly in pain.
"I'm sorry if I'm hurting you Kirara, but please bear with me until we can get you better, okay?" Sango thought to Kirara. Kirara gave Sango a look that plainly said, "I know that you have to do this, but I still don't like it."
It kind of made Sango giggle to see Kirara's face. Kagome then gave Kirara the antidote and they sat back to wait.
XxXxXxXxXxXx
"So you still don't know what happened to Kirara?" Midoriko asked Sango as they made their way down the path.
"No, I don't." Sango said. They were now in their way to the next village. It had been three days and they would reach Ikeda Village the next day, if there weren't any delays. Kirara had almost completely healed, but they still didn't know how she got hurt.
"Maybe it was a demon, maybe it was a human, who knows except for Kirara! Maybe she'll be able to tell me somehow…" Sango thought as she walked with Miroku. He had his arm around her shoulder as they walked.
"Three and a half months ago, I couldn't even get within a foot near her with my hand, now, I can do whatever I please except for play with the other women! This is so nice!" Miroku thought grinning. Sango and the others didn't even notice. They walked in silence for the next hour. Then, they stopped to take a break.
"Sango, Miroku, could you go catch some fish at the river?" Kagome asked them as she started up a fire.
"Sure." They said and started off towards the river.
"And Kimi, Shippo, could you go get some water from the river?" Kagome then asked them.
"Of course." They both said and went off to the river.
"Inuyasha, I need to tell you something." Kagome said.
"What is it?" Inuyasha asked her.
"I…Something bad is going to happen tomorrow. I don't know what, but something bad is going to happen. I just had a dream last night. I didn't get very far though…" Kagome said.
"Well, I'm glad that you told me. I just hope you can finish it tonight." Inuyasha said.
The others came back and gave Kagome what they were sent to get. Then, Kagome proceeded to boil the water and make ramen with the fish cooked in it. Inuyasha whined at the thought of ruining the ramen with the fish, but Kagome gave him a look that made him stop whining and almost wince.
They all ate in silence. They cleaned their stuff up, put the fire out, and made their way down the path again.
XxXxXxXxXxXx
"Well, here we are." Kagome said as they stepped into Ikeda Village.
"Are you the demon slayer group?" A woman asked as she walked over to them.
"Yes, we are. We received a message about five days ago that demons were attacking and that you needed our assistance." Kimi said. "Yes, that is correct." The woman said as beckoned for them to follow her. She led them to four huts.
"You will stay in these huts for the time that you are here. The demons start attacking about sunset, so you need to get ready. I will inform our headman that you are here." The woman said as she walked off.
"Well, that was a warm welcome, wasn't it?" Shippo asked the gang sarcastically.
"Yeah, your right Shippo!" Kimi said, then they both burst out laughing. After they calmed down, they realized that the others had already gone into their huts. Kimi and Shippo walked into their hut to get ready. Kagome and Inuyasha sat on the floor of their hut; Inuyasha staring at the wall while Kagome sharpened her arrows.
"Did you finish your dream last night Kagome?" Inuyasha asked her.
"No, I didn't." She answered back, not looking up from sharpening her arrows.
"Well, we need to go get the other's. It's almost dark." Kagome said, standing up with her arrows in one hand, and a bow in the other. "Yeah, your right." Inuyasha said as he stood up after Kagome. They walked outside to see all of the other's except for Sango, who was in the hut. "Lets go." Kagome said.
They only had to wait for a minute until they saw the first demon. They easily beat it. Then, more and more demons came. They all got into battle. Kagome was shooting arrow, Miroku using his staff and only using his wind tunnel when necessary, Kirara biting and scratching at them, Kimi was using her claws, Shippo was using his fox magic and fire, and Inuyasha was using his claws as well. Too many demons were coming at the gang, so Inuyasha reached for his Tetsusaiga, only grabbing air. He looked down to see that his Tetsusaiga was gone.
"What? Shimatta! Where's my sword you stupid kisama's!" He yelled as he slashed at more demons. Most of them were gone when he heard a scream behind him. He turned to see Kagome had screamed. She and Midoriko were using their powers to make a barrier to protect themselves, and the fallen Miroku, Kimi, Shippo and Kirara. It looked like Midoriko was using her last ounce of strength.
"Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled as he started to run towards her.
"Inuyasha look out!" Kagome yelled as she saw him. He felt pain explode in his left shoulder. He fell to the ground, seeing his own blood spill everywhere. "NO!" Kagome yelled. The last thing that Inuyasha saw was a burst of light, and then everything went black.
XxXxXxXxXxXx
"Inuyasha!" Kagome yelled as she watched her husband fall to the ground. She was so angry, her powers just burst out of her and when she looked, all of the demons were dead. She and Midoriko put down the barrier. Midoriko fell to the ground as she passed out, but Kagome didn't care at the moment. She ran over to Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha! Are you okay?" Kagome asked him, though she got no answer.
"Inuyasha! Wake up! Please, wake up!" Kagome said as she turned him over and shook him. He didn't respond.
"Kagome!" She heard someone yell behind her. Sango was running towards her.
"Is he okay?" Sango asked Kagome as she didn't really see Inuyasha clearly yet.
"He's…He is…Inuyasha…is dead." Kagome said, tears coming to her eyes as she said the words that she never wanted to think or say, but there was nothing that she could do. He was dead.
"No, he can't be! Inuyasha can't be dead!" Sango said as she fell to her knees, tears streaming down her street. They heard footsteps behind them.
"What's wrong you two?" Kimi asked them. She saw Inuyasha and she said, "Is he all right?"
"He's dead." Kagome said, as more tears came to her eyes and fell down her face.
"No, my older brother, my best friend, he can't be!" Kimi said, running over to him. "You're not joking. He really is dead!" She said as she fell to the ground, her body shaking with her sobs. Midoriko, Miroku and Shippo were in the same state when they learned of his death. Kagome went over to Inuyasha. She leaned over his body. She broke down. She her head fell onto Inuyasha's chest as she cried. Her tears staining his kimono. After about ten minutes, a ball of light was speeding towards the gang. They looked up to see that it was Sesshomaru.
"I smelled blood as I was passing this village." Sesshomaru said as he walked over to them. When he was Inuyasha, tears came to his eyes for the first time.
"He is dead, isn't he?" Sesshomaru asked them.
"Yes." Kimi said.
"You have the Tensusaiga, right? Why don't you bring him back to life?" Sango asked him.
"I cannot." Sesshomaru said, his eyes downcast, though everyone still saw his tears fall.
"Why not?" She asked him angrily.
"Because, his soul is not here anymore. I don't see the demons that come to take away your soul. I can't bring him back because his soul left his body when he died. I'm sorry, my sisters." Sesshomaru said addressing Kimi and Kagome, who was his sister-in-law (I don't know how it works…).
After a few more minutes of crying, Kirara came over and they put Inuyasha's body on her back and Miroku called Hoji. Sesshomaru found the Tetsusaiga and got onto Hoji. Everyone rode on Hoji for the five and a half hours back to Kaede's Village, except for Kagome. She sat on Kirara with Inuyasha's body, without saying a word.
XxXxXxXxXxXx
Kagome was dressed in all black dress, with a veil that covered her forehead. She held a torch in one hand, her other hand was at her side. Everyone else was wearing all black to, even Sesshomaru. Inuyasha's body lay on a neat pile of sticks and hay. Inuyasha was lying on the hay. He was wearing his usual red pants, his white shirt, his rosary (which Kagome refused to take off and wouldn't let any one else do so either), and no shoes. They had to take off the top part of the kimono because it wouldn't burn (well, duh!). Kagome took a deep breath.
"This isn't happening. I know that it isn't real! I know that it is though. I don't want to do this! I don't want to!" Kagome thought. She walked over to Inuyasha's body. She moved the torch close to his body.
"Goodbye Inuyasha. My one, my own, my true love, my friend, my protector, my dog eared husband." Kagome thought as she moved the torch closer to Inuyasha, her eyes shut tight.
"Kagome?"
