"What do you mean they are Miroku and Sango?" Ian hissed, trying to keep the conversation quiet. "Have you looked at them?"
"Yes." Kagome said. "And they look EXACTLY like them."
"But it took me in a white wig to make you realize that I was really Inuyasha?" He said quietly.
"That's because you look like your old human form…not your hanyou form. They…look exactly like Sango and Miroku. They sound exactly like them too. It's eerie how…"
Ian grabbed her by the shoulders. "Kagome. From what you've told me, Sango was a powerful demon hunter, and a sweet girl. Miroku was a monk with grabby hands…literally and figurativally." He glanced at the two teens. "Sandy is a stuck up girl who acts like she is rich. Mark is so nervous and by the book he hasn't even touched a woman anywhere, let alone her ass!"
"I can prove that they are who they say they are." Kagome said. Before Ian could stop them, she walked up to the two and smiled. "Hi, my name is Kagome. I will be sitting in on the session."
Mark frowned. "Uh…Dr. Christan didn't leave anything in the notes about that." He looked over the sheets, but Kagome snatched them away, laughing nervously.
"Oh, we…changed this…just moments ago! He didn't have time to give you guys new one…right Ian?" Inuyasha didn't even flinch. "Ian…" He was too busy gathering the papers. "hanyou." She hissed.
Inuyasha/Ian looked up at this. "Oh…I'm sorry…did you say something?" Kagome glared at him, and he licked his lips. "Yea…right…uh…Kagome's here to sit in." If looks could kill, Inuyasha/Ian would be getting ready for a second ride on the Reincarnation Express.
"Well..let's just get this over with, a'ight?" Sandy said, snapping her gum. "I want to go hang around the mall."
"Like you don't do enough of that." Inuyasha/Ian said with a grumble.
"What did you say Ian?" Sandy asked. "Did I give you permission to talk to me?"
"How would you like that pretty little neck of yours snapped." Inuyasha/Ian said, standing up.
"Look who grew a back bone." Sandy said with a sigh. "I swear, they shouldn't let losers like you two breed…"
"That's it." Inuyasha/Ian said, advancing.
"Whoa man!" Mark said, leaping out of the way. "I'm going to get security if you two are going to fight. You know you shouldn't be, and you are acting strange, friend…"
"Both of you have nightmares about battle, right?" Kagome blurted.
Mark and Sandy paused, looking at her. Inuyasha/Ian glanced at her, and with a nod, he slowly backed away, grumbling under his breath.
"We…don't remember what we dream…"
"Sure you don't." Inuyasha/Ian said. "And neither did i." He paused. "That was sarcasm, if you didn't notice."
"Wait, you remember your dreams?" Mark said. "You lie to Dr. Christan? Why would you do that…"
"You are a monk." Kagome said. Mark slowly looked at her. "In your nightmares, you have a golden monk staff, wear dark robes, and have a nice little vortex in your hand. That's why you are currently keeping your right hand closed, even though it's no longer there."
"…how did you know that." Mark said quietly.
"So you were lying too?" Sandy said with a laugh. "Geez, the two geeks are so committed to being here that you lie about problems…."
"You dream about being a demon hunter." Kagome said, making Sandy pause in mid sentence. She looked at the teen, watching her, gauging her reaction. "You dress in a skin tight outfit, and throw…well, I would say a giant boomerang, and I guess you would call it that too now, since I doubt you remember it's name."
"A giant boomerang?" Mark asked.
"Shut up, it's called Hiraikotsu…" She looked at Kagome. "How did you know that…how do you know…how do I know…"
"I know a lot of things…things that you both will doubt." Kagome said, sitting down.
"Are you a psychic?"
"What?" kagome said, turning to Mark. "Of…of course I'm not…"
"She's just traveled through time." Ian said.
"Inuyasha!" kagome said, glaring at him. "I was going to try to tip toe that little fact, not rush into it!"
"What's wrong with rushing into it. They are going to find out sooner or later. No reason to tiptoe around it."
"Uh…Inuyasha?"
"Ya?" Inuyasha said, looking at Mark.
"Inuyasha…the geek has a geek name."
"Watch it Sango." Inuyasha/Ian said.
This really made Sandy freeze up. She looked at the two of them, slowly backing away. "How did you know that…" She repeated, seized up in terror. "…that's the name the people in my dreams call me."
Mark shook his head. "This is too much for me…"
"Miroku!" Kagome shouted. Mark looked at her, and closed his eyes, as if he were focusing in on something. Kagome gently walked up to him, and offered her hand. "Let me explain everything."
"I am suffering from a delusion…some episode…"
"I doubt both of us can suffer from one geek." Sandy said. She sat down, as did Mark, and looked at the couple in front of them, taking them in carefully…and getting the weirdest case of Déjà vu. "What exactly is going on?"
Kagome sighed, looking at these two people…who had once been her best friends. This was going to be hard to explain.
&&&
"…and that's what happened." Kagome said. She let out a sigh and leaned against Inuyasha, trying to catch her breath. She had just spent the last 30 minutes giving them a basic run through of who she was, about her time through…time…, their relationships, about how she had found Ian, and also providing knowledge about their dreams that she could only know by being there.
They were taking it well.
"I have lost it, I have lost it…I am going to wake up any minute now…" Mark said, pacing the floor. "Oh man, I thought these dreams were innocent…why didn't I just tell Dr. Christan…"
"Would you shut up!" Sandy shouted. She was sitting in the corner, shaking her head. "God, all I wanted to be was normal…it's hard enough living here…now I find out I might be the reincarnation of some Xena wannabe!"
Inuyasha/Ian raised an eyebrow. "I'm surprised they are taking it so well."
"I must say, I am shocked too."
"TAKING IT WELL!" Mark screamed. "I am being dragged into your delusions…and you think I am taking it well?"
"You aren't being dragged." Inuyasha/Ian said, getting a firm elbow from Kagome. "Ow!…but you aren't in a delusion either."
Sandy was just sitting then, stunned. "No one wants to hang out with a dead chick!"
"HEY!" Kagome said.
"Well…it's nice that you found someone Kagome." Sandy said softly. "But me…I'm pretty! That's what people like about me! No one is going to like me when they find out that this pretty face belonged to some other woman from 500 years ago!" She sniffed, burying her head in her hands.
"Damn melodramatics…OW! Stop it Kagome!" Inuyasha growled from another elbow. "Geez…in two lifetimes, and apparently I still don't know when to shut my mouth."
Kagome merely smirked, then truned back to her friends. "Listen…I want you two to go to bed tonight, and in your dreams, look around. If you still doubt me…you won't after tonight's dreams." She paused. "When you wake up, find Inuyasha…" They looked at Inuyasha, still not use to 'Ian' being called that. "…and if you are ready, I will bring things that will help jog your memories."
The two nodded, and they all left the room, Sandy and Mark confused and nervous, kagome and Inuyasha hopeful.
None saw Dr. Christan watching.
