Okay, okay! I've taken up your time enough! Read on, reader! Read on!!

Dream
Previously, on Kagome's Return...
A nod from Sango was all it took to shatter my heart into small, heavy pieces. I stared down into my cup of tea. 'He... forgot about me.' I thought miserably. 'Why Inuyasha? Why would you do that? Is it that I thought too much of the entire situation the whole time? You only thought of me as the Shikon Jewel finder, and nothing more?'
I forced myself to stop thinking of why when I realized was about to cry. I cleared my throat and quietly asked, "How?"
I heard Miroku's heavy sigh, and then he quietly told me, "Kikyo."
"Kikyo?" I was stunned. I thought she had finally given up on Inuyasha..
'Well, she has a strong will to be with him.' I thought.
"Yes. Kikyo." Miroku said. "According to Kaede, Kikyo will not rest now, no matter what she receives. She has grown to much attatched to Inuyasha... she wishes to claim him and make a life with him." He sighed. "Kikyo was at the well when he came back. She seemed corrupted by something. She was completely insane, from the way she was staring and smiling at him." He looked at me. "She gave into the darkness in her heart, and used her more stronger, darkened powers on him to forget."
"When we arrived, we could only see Inuyasha in agony... and Kikyo disappearing from our sight." Sango said with shame in her voice. She was ashamed she could not protect him. "When we later asked him what had happened, he didn't remember.. and he didn't remember you."
"Her dream is to live a life with him at the cost of a small chance for me to live with him and raise a family." I concluded.
Both of my friends nodded. When I didn't say anything else, they tried to cheer me up by telling me stories of their children and tell me how well Shippou is doing with kitsune youjutsu exams. I did enjoy listening to them, and it did lighten my mood, like they hoped it would. I soon excused myself from their company, though, and walked out of their home. I crossed the small patch of grass--I considered it like a front yard--and a few feet out to a large field of green grass and trees that encircled it. Up ahead is where the Bone Eater's Well sat.
I walked slowly across the grass until I reached the well. My hand slipped out and grazed the old wood. 'This used to be where Inuyasha would wait for me when I went home for a test..' I thought, a smile tugging at my lips. However, more memories with me and Inuyasha came flooding into my mind, and I sank to my knees, my hand lightly gripping onto the wood.
"I've come back to the past, Momma. I arrived safely, and everyone greeted me kindly. Everyone is happy to have me back." I swallowed the lump that formed in my throat. "Inuyasha.... well, I saw him! Even if Kikyo made him forget about me.."
I folded my arms on the well and rested my head on my arms. I closed my eyes.
'Inuyasha... what do I do? How do I return your memories of me to your heart?'
~3 hours later~
"Inuyasha!" Sango called to him as she stepped outside of her house. He was being pulled on by the twins once more, and including Shippou. He was arguing with Shippou about how the twins see him and treat him.
"What?" He gave Sango an irritated look, but she was not phased by it.
"I need you to go find Kagome, please. It's getting dark out, and I don't want her to be weaponless while she's alone."
"Kagome?" He blinked.
She held in a wince. "Yes... my friend, remember? She is going to be staying with me, and dinner is almost ready. I would like her to come back safely."
Inuyasha sighed and grumbled "Stupid woman." before leaving. For some reason he could not figure out, my scent was one he kept memorized.
I pondered on how to get Inuyasha's memories to him for a while, but not very long, for the way the sun had been shining on me, I slowly dozed off into a nap. I was having a wonderful dream about coming through the well one last time, and see Inuyasha waiting for me with a smile on his face.
"Inuyasha, I'm home." I whispered.
"Kagome..."
He pulled me close to him, wrapping his arms around me. I felt a blush creep up my neck and settle on my cheeks, but I didn't care. I nuzzled into his chest and hugged him tightly.
"Kagome.." I heard his voice whisper to me. I looked up to see his eyes staring into mine with such an intense, loving gaze, that I blushed a little more. He leaned down a little bit, and I knew what he wanted. I slowly leaned up and...
"KAGOME!"
"Whaa!" I jumped into an upright sitting position. I looked up to see Inuyasha leaning over me. I felt a settle in my cheeks as I remembered my dream. I tried to look away, but Inuyasha kneeled and leaned over me somewhat.
"Hey.. are you okay? Your face is all red." He reached out a hand and touched my forehead, while his other was on his forehead.
As I felt my blush deepen, I pulled away from him, scrambling to my feet. "Don't touch me! Get away from me!" I yelled at him.
This made him a little angry. "What do you mean, get away from you?! And I can touch you if I feel like it!" He continued at my glare. "I was sent out here to grab you for dinner, and I see you all red... and this is how you thank me? Ungrateful wench!"
I clenched my fists. "Oh, be quiet! I never asked you to help me, you jerk!"
"What?! Why you--"
"SIT BOY!"
His necklace he has around his neck suddenly glowed, and pulled him down three feet into the ground. We were both surprised, though for different reasons.
"What... the hell was that?" He said, trying to get up, but the necklace wouldn't let him. He turned his head a bit, though, and stared up at me. "How did you do that?" When no answer came to him, he grew a bit more angry. "Answer me, wench!"
"Sit sit sit sit sit!" I yelled, and then took off running away as fast as I could, leaving him eight feet in the ground, and hurting.
Even though I knew I acted like a child at his concern, I couldn't help feeling happy about it... and happy that my 'sit' command still works on him.
'Well, at least my voice effects him some how.' I thought.
Yes, I know, a bad ending of the chapter! I can give you a sneak peak of the next one to make up for it: Miroku and Sango have planned a little get away for themselves, leaving Inuyasha and Kagome alone together! But wait.... they have to watch the twins?! How will THAT work out? And how will Kagome figure out how to get Inuyasha to remember her? Find out by giving me reviews!!
