Chapter 4: Dreams

Kagome was fast asleep in her sleeping bag that night, she was pretty tired after today.

Shippo was getting air sickness from being on Kirara's back so high in the air. So she and Shippo started to walk, so Miroku took his usual spot on Kirara's back, only to be knock off a few minutes later, "Serves him right!" Sango yelled. So Kagome treated the huge bump on Miroku head while listening to him sigh and say, "She wants me." Kagome rolled her eyes.

She was still a little mad at the hanyou, so she decided to walk with Miroku making sure to keep close watch on his wandering hand, she didn't notice but Inuyasha was keeping a close eye too.

Well, everyone was asleep now, especially Kagome….

Dream

Kagome was running through the forest, she was yelling Inuyasha's name. "Inuyasha? Inuyasha where are you?" she found him by a stream. He was holding something in his arms, no wait, someone.

Kagome stuttered out her name. "K-Ki-Kikyo." she said bitterly. Tears welled up in her eyes as she turned away from them, but something she heard kept her legs from moving, " Kikyo I'm sorry but, my heart belongs to someone else." Kagome watched as Kikyo faded away.

"Kagome, you can come out now." Kagome ran to him with tears of joy in her eyes. "Do you really mean that Inuyasha?" Inuyasha lightly kissed her forehead. " I love you, and only you Kagome. Don't ever forget that." he said pulling her closer…

Kagome's eyes fluttered open, her mind slowly came into reality. ' It was just a dream.' she thought sadly as she sat up. "Well that's one dream that wont came true." she said to herself.

Being careful not to wake Shippo, she got up to go on her usual walk whenever she couldn't sleep. 'Maybe I just need to clear my head.'

She thought as she walked into the woods towards the river they passed that day.

'Mom always did say that dreams always meant something, that you might not understand them, but it always has some kind of meaning.' she kept walking and wasn't looking where she was going. "Could that mean that Inuyasha loves me after all?" she said to herself. She was getting closer.' I sure so hope…' she didn't finish her thought. Instead she yelped in pain. She looked down at her leg. Blood was pouring out of her torn sock.

She looked down to see a very sharp branch tipped with her blood. She held her leg it from keeping any more blood from coming out and she slowly limped her way to the river.

"Kagome, no" Inuyasha said in his sleep. He was tossing his head from side to side.

Kagome stood before him gazing at him with no emotion at all. "Kagome," he reached out for her. She backed away from him

" You never loved me Inuyasha." she said in dreary voice. " Kagome I do, I do love you, I've always have, I just didn't know how to tell you." He saw the tears form in her eyes. " I love you, but you never did love me back." 'she started to back up, she was on the edge of a cliff.

" I'll let youlive you're life now." Her next words pierced his heart. Mainly because he told her to. "I'll leave you alone." Inuyasha's eyes flared, "Kagome, no." Inuyasha walked up to her, she kissed him as her hand entwined with his. "I love you." she whispered against his lips, "Don't ever forget that." her hand left his as she fell off the cliff. "KAGOME!" he screamed as the smell of her blood stained his nose…

"Kagome!" he yelled as he shot up. ' It was just a dream.' he thought. He looked down at her sleeping bag. She wasn't there. The smell of her blood was still in his nose. 'Huh?' he sniffed the air. Kagome's blood, her real blood. In a flash, he was out of the tree and into the woods, in search of Kagome.

Kagome took off her sock and gently put her leg into the water, she winced as the cold water touched her skin. She tore off a piece of her uniform and dipped it in the water. She started to wipe away the dry blood that formed around the gash in her leg.

Inuyasha found a trail of blood that led to the north, 'Please let her be okay' he thought as he ran in the direction of the river.

Kagome put the torn piece of cloth around her leg and tied it. 'There, that'll hold it, well at least till I get back to camp.' She put her sock back on and started to get up, at first she had to use a boulder to push her up but then someone gently grabbed her hand from behind and helped her up.

She turned around, and came face to face with Inuyasha. "Are you okay?" Inuyasha asked worriedly. " I was afraid something happened to you." she looked down and noticed her hand was still in his, " I'm fine." she said quietly as she took her hand away. She started to limp to the campsite. He looked hurt, but she tried to ignore it. 'Go for it Inuyasha, it's either now or never.' his conscience told him.

"Kagome." Inuyasha called out to her. She stopped, but she didn't say anything, she didn't turn around either. Inuyasha walked up behind her. "Kagome, I'm sorry for what I said, I didn't mean it. I don't ever want you to leave me alone."

Kagome's head shot up. ' Is he apologizing?' she turned around to face him. " Inuyasha, don't." she said to him. He looked at her "Don't what?" he said kind of confused.

"Apologize." she said with a dim smile. "Inuyasha, you're right, I'm not you're woman, it's not my place to tell you who to love, but Inuyasha I can't stand being in this love triangle with you and Kikyo. Either you love me or you don't. I can't just be second best." she turned away from him. "But I can see who you are going to choose, and I'll be okay with it, I'll get over it someday, who knows, maybe I'll find someone else who will love me, just for being me." Inuyasha didn't say anything. So, I'll let you live you're life now, I'll leave you alone." she started to limp away again.

' She 's giving up on you Inuyasha, stop her! You love her don't you? Tell her now! If you don't you'll regret it. Stop her!' his mind screamed at him.

"Kagome wait." he said. She stopped again. He walked up to her and turned her around and kissed her like he would never see her again. She kissed him back with the same kind of hunger.

He cupped her face and stared into her eyes, " Kagome, don't give up on me yet, please. "Inuyasha?" she said looking down. " I was an idiot for not telling you before," he put his thumb and finger under her chin and tilted her head up. " I love you, and I always will." Kagome's heart stopped. 'Why is she crying? She's supposed to be happy.' he thought. 'Mom was right.' she thought. Kagome couldn't stop herself from stuttering as tears of joy sprang down her cheeks. "D-do you really m-mean that Inuyasha?" she said through her tears. " I don't know why I didn't see it before, you're my world Kagome," he wiped her tears away with his thumb. " Nobody else but you."

Inuyasha pulled her close, never wanting to let her go.

"TRAITOR!" Kikyo screamed. She wanted to smash Kanna's mirror but Naraku caught her fist before it hit it. " Betrayed, by the one you love." Naraku said to her. "So Kikyo, do we have a deal?"
