A/N I'm so sad today I never got very many reviews on my last chapter. :( Oh well, I like writing stories so I am not going to stop just because I never got any new reviews! I hate when authors stop their stories because they didn't get any reviews. Anyway on with the story! Thanks to Rita who reads and edits all my chapters.

Ending of last chapter

" Where are we?"

"This is the park I use to play at when I was young. I came here every day."

"Really?" Kagome pushed the little bit of snow that fell on a swing and sat down on it, and Inuyasha did the same.

"Ya."

Inuyasha turned around, someone was watching them...

Chapter9 Unexpected Visitors

"Who's there ?"

Inuyasha could smell two demons somewhere in the shadows. They smelled familiar but he couldn't put his finger on who they were. Kagome turned and looked at Inuyasha, he looked very serious. Kagome heard something behind her and she turned around. Two figures emerged from the shadows.

"I told you we should have just walked up and spoken to them. " One of the figures said, Kagome knew that voice.

"Well we were told to stay out of sight." The other one said.

"Andrea, Aalyah is that you?" Kagome hoped she was right.

" Yes! We are so sorry so interrupted you this evening Kagome-chan, but we were sent to check on you and Inuyasha. Well mostly you Kagome!" Aalyah said, as her and Andrea moved into the light.

"By who?" Inuyasha growled.

"By Dr. Sesshomaru. You see he told us to just to observer you two and to not bother you too much, but I guess that's ruined now." Andrea said as she looked at the ground.

"He is going to be so mad. I told Andrea that we could have just talked to you two and then we could be on our way, but no she only does exactly what she thinks we should do." Aalayah sighed.

"Why do you need to check on Kagome, so soon?" Inuyasha asked. Kagome was wondering why she would be checked on only a day after being out of the hospital.

"Well we can't really say much because we don't know very much. All I know is that he wants someone to check on Kagome every day to see how she is doing." Andrea said.

"If you don't mind me asking, why would he send you two?"

"Well Kagome, Andrea and I are Dr. Sesshomaru's personal nurses. We help with all his cases, we also do house calls and what not. That is also one of the reasons why we moved to Japan. We were asked to come and work for Dr. Sesshomaru."

"Wow, thats pretty cool. So you must be really good at your jobs."

" Of course." Aalyah said.

"Were you two following us this morning?"

"No, Inuyasha we weren't. Sorry we were to busy robbing a bank Aalyah said jokingly."

"That was you?" Kagome started to laugh.

"Shh don't tell anyone, I would hate to think what would be done to us." Inuyasha didn't really know what the hell a bank was but he laughed any way.

"Aalyah stop telling all our secrets, god. Well it was nice talking to you again, but we are really have to go. Sorry that we were so rude and stuff. Cya. Next time we will just talk to you instead of causing trouble. Buh Bye We would stay longer, but Aal..."

"Come on Andrea we don't have all night, we do need to get back to work TONIGHT."

" Alright I'm coming, later on you guys."

"Bye Kagome, and Inuyasha." Aalyah said as she dragged Andrea away.

Kagome and Inuyasha stood their watching them leave. As they saw them round the corner, Inuyasha sat back down on the swing, and Kagome was about to sit back down on her swing, when Inuyasha pulled her into his lap, and wrapped his arms around her. He kissed Kagome on the cheek, and started to swing slowly. They sat their for a while just enjoying each others presence. The snow was falling all around them, and the street lights created dazzling patterns with it. Kagome looked up at Inuyasha, she loved him with all her heart and he loved her with his. Kagome looked at her watch it was starting to get late and she had school in the morning. She got up from Inuyasha's lap, he didn't seem to mind, but Kagome was already missing the warmth of his body.

They started to walk out of the park, Inuyasha wrapped his arm around Kagome's waist, but before they walked away from the little park Kagome turned around and looked at it once more. She loved this park even though she never got to go there often, but it held so many memories for her. She never really ever wanted to leave.

"Are you ok Kagome?"

"Ya, I'm fine. It's just, it's jus never mind." Kagome sighed.

Inuyasha couldn't help wondering what Kagome was thinking but he didn't press the matter. He knew that it would take time for both him and Kagome to share everything about their past, but he could wait. The couple walked in silence for a while, but Inuyasha couldn't stand much more of it. He usually liked it quiet but tonight was different for some reason.

"Um, Kagome did you know that Andrea and Alyaha are demons?"

"They are? I thought maybe they were but I couldn't really tell. They sure acted strange for demons. My sided started to hurt because I was laughing so hard."

"Ya they are different, but they seem to like it that way."

Inuyasha and Kagome kept on talking about their new friends, by the time they reached the shrine it was almost 9:30. Kagome couldn't believe that they had been gone so long, her mother must be freaking out by now. They walked into the house, and went right for the kitchen were Kagome's mother would be. As they walked in the door two mugs of hot chocolate were laid on the table.

"Have a nice walk Kagome?"

"I took Inuyasha to the old playground."

"God you haven't mention that place in a while. When you were young I couldn't get you out of there, no matter what the weather was like."

"I can see why, it is such peaceful place Ms. Higurashi."

"Inuyasha please call me Margaret. Well drink up your hot chocolate before it gets cold. Then off to bed with the two of you. I'm going now, good night you two."

"Good night mom."

"Night Margaret."

Inuyasha and Kagome did what they were told, after they were done Kagome put their glasses in the sink and started to walk towards the door. She turned and looked around to see if Inuyasha was following her but he wasn't in anywhere in sight. She started towards the stairs when she felt two arms wrap around her. Inuyasha carried her up the stairs and into her bed room. (He seems to like to do that!) After he placed Kagome down, he grabbed his pj's and went towards he wash room. Kagome put on hers and went to go brush her teeth.

"Inuyasha are you done changing?"

"Ya."

"Can you let me in so I can brush my teeth."

"Uhh ok."

Inuyasha opened the bathroom door and let Kagome in. They both brushed their teeth and headed to bed. Inuyasha got in the bed first and Kagome crawled in wit him. She snuggled closer to Inuyasha under the blankets. She wished that she didn't have to go to school tomorrow but she knew she had too. Kagome feel into a not so peaceful sleep, she was having horrible nightmares, but Inuyasha wouldn't wake her. He remembered what was said in the feudal era, if you wake a person while they are having a nightmare it could cause them to go insane. They would keep having the nightmare, over and over again. It would never leave you. So Inuyasha held Kagome close trying to comfort her. She started to cry after one of her dream. After a while the nightmares stopped, the last one didn't seem to be much of a nightmare, it seemed to calm Kagome. So both Kagome and Inuyasha were able to fall into a peaceful sleep.

Kagome awoke the next morning, she didn't even want to get up. She turned around and looked at Inuyasha he was still asleep, but I guess you would to after the night he just went through. Kagome had horrible nightmares, most of them were about school the next day. In one of them, people were throwing rocks and dirt at her. Then in another they tired her to a stake and burned her. Yelling freak! Freak! In each nightmare, Inuyasha was trying to save her but Kagome always woke up before she could get to the end of her nightmare. Fortunately, every time she woke up, she was in Inuyashas arms. Kagome kissed him on the lips to wake him up, his kissed her back right away. Kagome was suprised by this. 'So he is awake!' They broke apart.

"Morning Kagome."

"Inuyasha how long have you been awake?"

" Well by that thing over their sense about 6:20, I got up, had a shower, and dried my hair. You slept right through it. Then I got back in bed with you."

" It is only 6:55 a.m but I guess I should go have my shower. You can go eat if you want, I am sure mom has breakfast started. Maybe even done."

Kagome got out of bed and headed for the bath room, so Inuyasha got up and got dressed. He wanted to know what Kagome had dreamed about that would make her so upset. Inuyasha decided that he would ask her later maybe on the way to her school. He walked into the kitchen, and saw food was already on the table for him. Kagome's mother was standing over the sink washing some dishes. Inuyasha sat down and ate, after a while Ms. Higurashi sat down with Inuyasha.

"How is your breakfast Inuyasha?"

"Good."

"Did you get any sleep last night?"

Inuyasha looked at Margret with a questioning look. 'How does she know?' He looked at his food and stopped eating.

"Kagome had some horrible nightmares last night."

"I know, I heard her crying, I went to check on her, but I saw that you had it under control and left you two alone."

Inuyasha blushed a little Kagome mother now knew that Kagome and him are sleeping in the same bed. ' What does she think about it? She probably thinks I am no good to be with her daughter and that I am a filthy half breed.' Margaret looked at Inuyasha he seem to be sad and angry. She knew what he was thinking.

"Inuyasha I don't mind that you and Kagome are sleeping in the same bed together, as long as it is nothing more then that. I don't want you rushing into anything." Again Inuyasha blushed, but he still looked...

" You have changed my little girls life, you are her world, her life and part of her soul. You know that. She wouldn't have become what she is today with out you. Inuyasha you are now part of my family, well you always have been."

" But I am still a half breed. I don't deserve Kagome."

"Inuyasha I know that Kagome loves you for who you are, she has told me many times that she loves you. You are not a half breed to her, you are you and noone else. Ok?"

"Arigatou Margret."

" Your welcome Inuyasha. You know you have been here some many times that I am surprised that it is only now that you two are sharing the bed." Inuyasha did a anima fall.

"Anyway Inuyasha I need to talk to you about Kagome's nightmares."

"Ya? To tell you the truth I am scared. Kagome has never had nightmares this bad before. I don't know what to do!"

"Well you see back when Kagome was only about 7 years old her father died. She hated to go to school, the children would whispher about it behind her back, and some teased her and talk about her. Children can be so mean at young ages, anyway. Kagome distanted herself from everyone, she stop talking, laughing, and she ate very little. She started to get horrible nightmares every night, I would wake up to her screaming or crying. This went on for a couple of months. We took her to the doctor, but they just said she was in shock. They wanted to do physical and mental tests on her, but I couldn't let them do that. I didn't want them poking, pinching, and prodding at my little girl, it would have been to much. But then one night she never had any nightmares, I woke up in the morning and I was scared. So I went into her room, she was awake, and was sitting on the floor coloring. I asked her how she was feeling, she smiled at me and said good."

Ms. Higurashi had tears rolling down her face. Inuyasha heard Kagome upstairs walking around her room. Margret took a breath and started talking again.

"I didn't know what happened, when she went to bed that night, I remember that her eyes were dark, and lifeless but then they were full of life. Kagome looked up at me and told me why she never had any nightmares. She said a little boy with white hair, gold eyes and red clothes came to play with her in her dream. He made all the monsters go away, they played with a ball and had lots of fun. She also said the little boy had to go away, but he would see her again someday. The little boy saved my Kagome, but the thing is I thought this little boy was only something made by Kagome mind. Until I met you Inuyasha."

" Feh it couldn't be me. There is no way! Is there? " Inuyasha knew that the little boy may have looked like him but it couldn't be him, or he would have remembered something like that.

"Yes Inuyasha, you still saved my little girl. That's how I know everything is going to be ok."

Kagome walked into the kitchen, she was dressed for school, and almost ready. She looked at her mom, and saw she was crying. She looked over at Inuyasha who was just staring out the window. Kagome didn't know what was going on and decided that maybe she didn't want to know so she just sat down in the chair next to Inuyasha. Her mom got her breakfast.

" Arigatou...mom today I might be home from school early, I think we only got half a day of school or something like that because of progress reports. Um what's the date anyway?"

" December the 1."

"No way?"

" Ya, I know dear where does the time fly. Well if you keep eating your breakfast so slow your going to be late for school. "

"I'll be ready mom."

Inuyasha went upstairs to brush his teeth while Kagome finished her breakfast. When she was done she put her plate and glass in the sink and went to go brush her teeth. When Inuyasha and Kagome were finally ready to leave the house it was only 7:45 am, so they had lots of time before school started. They waited in silence but then Inuyasha broke it.

"Kagome if you don't mind asking me, what were your dreams about last night?"

"All kinds of things, but I remember a couple really well. It is like it wasn't even a dream but reality."

" Tell me about it."

"O.k. The very first one I had before when I was in the hospital."

"I remember that you started to scream, right before you woke up. Do you want to tell me about it?"

"Yes, I can remember every thing about this dream. I ran faster and faster, but I couldn't catch up to you. Some guys were pulling you away from me, they wouldn't let you go. I screamed your named , you turned your head and yelled something back to me but I couldn't hear you. Suddenly I couldn't move, my body was frozen and then everything went black. The next thing I knew I was standing on a alter, I looked down, and saw that I was wearing a wedding dress and holding flowers. It was just like the one my Grandmother wore at her American style wedding. I looked over to see who was standing next to me, but I couldn't see his face. His back was to me. I started to scream but no sound came from my mouth, I tried to move but couldn't. Again I looked at the guy next to me, this time I could see his face and I was so shocked. It wasn't you Inuyasha but Hojo.

I wanted to run, to scream, but most of all I wanted you. I remember the doors behind me swung open, but I couldn't see what was going on. I could hear people yelling and fighting. Then I felt someone behind me and to strong arms pick me up. Finally I was able to move again, I looked at my rescuer and it was you Inuyasha. But your were all bloody, and your clothes were torn. It looked like they had tortured you. We started to speak. I asked you what happened, but you said you would tell me later. I thanked you for saving my life. You always save me when I am in trouble. You said to me that Hojo was forcing me to marry him, which was true, and that you couldn't let that happen because I was your mate. Then you told me that you loved me and I said I love you tooIt was only a nightmare at first but then you saved me and it wasn't a nightmare any more."

" Now I really despise that Hojo fellow."

"Oh Inuyasha. After school I'll tell you about some of the other nightmares I had and see if we can make any sense out of them ok?"

"Why not!"

They were at the school with still a couple of minutes t spare, so Kagome decided she would go and introduce him to Ayumi. She went and got her books from her locker but found Ayumi waiting for her.

"Hi Ayumi!"

"Hey Kaogme. How are you?"

"Good. Oh Ayumi this is my boyfriend Inuyasha."

"Nice to meet you Inuyasha." Ayumi bowed at Inuyasha.

" I am glad to meet you. Kagome's other friends are so ahh... strange."

"I know what you mean Inuyasha. I don't talk much when their around, you really can't get a word in."

" I can see why." The group laughed

" Well I have to go I'll see you guys during class. Buh bye!"

"Hello Kagome-chan." Kagome turned around and saw Hojo coming towards her.

" Good morning Hojo. I am sure you remember my boyfriend Inuyasha." Inuyasha glared at Hojo, and looked away. He wrapped his arm around Kagome's waist, and Hojo seemed a bit mad.

"Yeah, he's hotheaded, temperamental and jealous, I remember him. I went to your house this morning to see if you wanted to walk to school with me, but your mom said that you were already gone."

" That's not true about Inuyasha Hojo. Inuyasha and I left a bit early, I got to go Hojo don't want to be late for class."

" Ah maybe I'll see you at lunch."

"I hope not!" Kagome said before walking away. She looked up at Inuyasha, but he didn't seem to be mad.

"Kagome, I hate that Hobo fellow."

"I know the feeling and its Hojo."

"Yeah I know, I still don't like him though."

Kagome and Inuyasha went through must her classes with out much trouble from any the teachers or her friends. When lunch time rolled around Kagome wanted to go home, Eri and Yuka went on about the usual, that Kagome and Inuyasha shouldn't be together, they should not be engaged and that she should go out with Hojo. She was glad that Ayumi was their to help pick up for her, but it never did much good. Hojo was also their, he tried to sit down next to Kagome but Inuyasha took the seat on her right and Ayumi sat on the seat on her left. Inuyasha just sat their listening to the other girls go on and on about everything when...

" Kagome Higurashi and Ayumi Vicuarl please come to the office."

Both girls got up with Inuyasha and walked to the office. They didn't have a clue what was going on, but when they got there the principal was waiting for them. He motioned them to come into his office.

"Ayumi your mother just phoned, and she needs you to go home because you have a doctors appointment. So I need you to sign out and then you can get your progress report."

" Yes sir." She walked away towards the front of the office to sign out.

" Kagome I have your progress report and some letters here for you. So I decided that maybe you should open them with you mother and family. The other students are being dismissed shortly so you can sign out and leave." He passed her a brown envelope and some other smaller ones, Kagome walked out of the office, signed out and left.

Ayumi walked with Inuyasha and Kagome until they got to her street. They said their good byes and she left. Kagome and Inuyasha walked into her kitchen a little while later. Noone was home so she decide to open one of the envelopes anyway. It was strange it had no address on it and it was fatter then the rest. She opened it and some red smoke flew into the air...

A/n Hey I hoped you liked this chapter, I don't think it is to bad. Did anyone notice that in all stories/shows that Kagome's mother always knows what people are thinking and stuff. Man is freaky but cool at the same time. Anyway the ending of this chapter is a bit cliffy but oh well lol

Later days!
