Chapter 6: Dream of a Poem

Kagome arrived at the mansion she had been to earlier. She quickly got out of her car, not even bothering to grab her bag. She ran up to the door but it was opened before she had a chance to knock. She threw herself into Inutaisho's waiting arms.

"I'm so confused." He rubbed her back in a soothing manner.

"Come on; let's get a little more sleep than we can talk about everything in the morning." She nodded her head and he walked with her into the house and closed the door behind them. After locking the door he led her up the huge stair case. "Would you like to sleep in a room of your own?" she shook her head.

"No, would you mind if I slept with you?" He smiled.

"Of course not." They walked together into his huge room and he closed the door.

"Wow, your room is huge!" she said starring in awe at his large bed.

"Well, I like to surround myself with beautiful pieces of furniture." He motioned for her to climb up onto the bed and he followed. They lay down and he pulled the comforter up and covered their bodies. "Good night Kagome."

"Night."

-Kagome's Dream-

Kagome watched now as the same woman from her first dream was, she assumed, giving birth. The man was there with her, holding her hand and an old elderly woman was there telling the woman to push.

"Come on, Kagome! Ye need to push harder! I can see the baby's head." She looked between the woman's legs. "PUSH!" The man continued to hold her hand, wipe her hair out of her face, and made sure to whisper endearing words to her.

As soon as the baby was pulled from the woman's womb something went wrong. He baby was fine, but the woman's eyes rolled back into her head and her breathing stopped. She went limp.

"Kagome?" The man said, shaking his wife. "Kagome?!" Kagome watched as he began to panic. "Kaede, there's something wrong with Kagome. She stopped breathing!" Kaede wrapped up the baby and placed it in a cradle so she could tend to the dying woman.

"No…." she whispered as she grabbed some herbs and wiped them underneath Kagome's nose. "Please, Kagome, come back to us." She said a little chant and grabbed another bowl with another type of herb. "Open her mouth. I need to put this down her throat." Inutaisho opened Kagome's mouth as Kaede pushed a gooey substance down her throat.

"Kaede, why isn't anything working? What's wrong with her?" He had tears falling down his cheeks. He wanted his wife to wake up and come back to him. He looked up when he felt a hand on his shoulder.

"I am sorry, Inutaisho, but there isn't anything I can do. She's gone." Kaede went over to the baby and picked it up. "Please, come see your son." He shook his head.

"No, no, no….NO!" He screamed. "Kagome, please don't leave me! I can't do this without you. Please…." He hugged the dead woman and cried. "Kagome, please….don't leave me…."

-End Dream-

When Kagome opened her eyes and felt the tears on her cheeks, she felt overwhelmed. She reached around trying to find Inutaisho.

"I'm right here." He said pulling her shaking form into a firm embrace. "Tell me what happened." Kagome took a couple steadying breaths.

"I….she died, during child birth. The man screamed and begged for her to come back, and the old lady that was helping just wanted him to see his newborn son, but he wouldn't. He just kept crying over the woman's dead body." Inutaisho felt a pinch at his heart just thinking about it. He pulled her closer and kissed the top of her head for comfort.

"Everything's okay now, Kagome. You should just go back to sleep and we can discuss it more in the morning." She shook her head which was currently occupying his chest.

"I'm afraid. I feel like these dreams are of my past life and that we were married. That fate somehow brought us together." He rubbed her back.

"That's possible." She turned to face him.

"You don't believe me?" she asked, almost upset.

"That's not it, but what I want is for you to get a good night's rest. So, please, go to sleep. I promise we can talk about it in the morning." She turned her back to him and lay back down.

'He acts like he doesn't even care.' Kagome yawned. She did enjoy the feeling of his arms around her, holding her protectively. 'He confuses me.' She laughed inwardly and fell asleep.

-Kagome's Dream-

Kagome now gazed upon a new sight. The man, Inutaisho, held a baby wrapped in a big red haori. He was leaning against a wall in the hut from her first dream, rocking the baby back and forth.

"Darkness descends upon our touch. Nothing good ever comes from us." Kagome watched as this grown man cried. She felt her heart constrict in her chest. She wished she could comfort him. "Inuyasha, your mother was such a wonderful woman. She wanted you so badly." He wiped a tear from his pale cheek. "We'll see her again soon, I promise"

Kagome's eyes widened. 'Oh no! Is he going to kill himself and the baby?' Kagome thought to herself.

"Your mother's soul will be born again, and we'll find her. No matter what, we'll find her."

**Flash**

Kagome was now standing in an office. The time period seemed to be her own, and there he was, Inutaisho. This time, he looked like the Inutaisho she knew. He was sitting at a desk looking through a stack of papers. She watched as his brows came together. He seemed to be deep in thought as he read over one specific paper.

She watched his face soften and a tear slide down his cheek as he placed the paper back on his desk. "Kagome…." He said it so softly that she hardly heard it. "You've finally come back to me."

Kagome was very confused. 'What is he talking about?'

**Flash**

Kagome now stood in a room she had been in before. It was the entrance to the mansion she was currently sleeping in. She looked around and saw Inutaisho again, but with him stood Inuyasha and Sesshomaru.

"Sesshomaru, I finally found her." Inutaisho said to his older son.

"Found who?" Inuyasha questioned impatiently.

"Mother." Sesshomaru said in a dry tone. It wasn't that he didn't want to find his mother; it was the fact that he blamed Inuyasha for her death.

"I didn't know you were looking for her." Inutaisho glared at his son.

"There is no need to be disrespectful." Sesshomaru said as he pushed his brother aside.

"What's her name now?" He asked his father. Kagome waited patiently to hear Inutaisho's answer.

"Kagome Higurashi. She's a student in my logic class that starts in a few days."

Kagome's eyes were wide and she was very confused now. 'Oh my god! He's talking about me!"

-End Dream-

It was morning and Inutaisho didn't want to wake the young woman next to him. He knew exactly what her dreams were about. This woman had been his wife in her former life. He, of course, had never died and neither had their two children due to the demon blood that was in them. Demons were a very rare species to find around now-a-days. He had been searching for her new incarnation for many years after her death during Inuyasha's birth.

This incarnation was the only one that was able to manipulate her new mother into giving her, her old name before birth. She was the original woman he had fallen in love with. 'All of her memories should be coming back. If not I'm sure she'll ask a few questions and I can fill in the blanks.'

He felt her stir and looked over to watch her eyes flutter open. When he looked into her eyes he noticed the confusion in them.

"Good morning." He said. She pulled herself up and leaned against the head board and looked over at Inutaisho. "You know who you are, don't you?" She nodded slowly. "So then you know that those stories about Sesshomaru and Inuyasha's mothers were just that, stories?" Again, she nodded. "And you know that I'm not human?"

"What…are you?" She said with a hint of curiosity in her voice.

"I am a demon. A dog-demon to be exact." He smiled at her and pushed the hair away from her eyes. "You, Kagome, were a great priestess. We met because I was a very powerful Lord in those times and we were making a treaty."She took a deep breath. "We fell in love immediately, and you passed on the position of head priestess to your younger sister, Kikyo, so that we could start a family." Her eyes were swelling up with tears. "I've been so lonely without you. Inuyasha has never known his mother and Sesshomaru wanted to die without you. He became so cold."

"I….I….what am I supposed to say? I don't remember any of this stuff that you're telling me." He pulled her into his lap.

"Those dreams that you're having are memories from your past with me. The old woman you mentioned last night was your mother's sister. She tried so hard to save you, I don't know what happened." Kagome decided that whether it was true or not, she just wanted to kiss him at that moment. The feelings she had been feeling since they met were because her memories were coming back.

"Your lips move into mine and I can't pull away. You angel, know all the right things to say." She kissed him again and shifter her position so that she was straddling his lap.

"You seduce me with your words and those sultry lips, and I'm still burning from the last time we kissed." He pulled her down so their noses almost touched; his arms holding her to him.

"Your arms, so solid, wrapped around me." Kagome whispered. "I'm wishing there was some other place I had to be. You see, sweetheart, I hate you more than life, but I can't let you go when your embrace feels so right." He held her body tightly against his own in a very possessive way.

"I scramble to find the strength to walk away."

"But the things you do make it so hard not to stay." A tear slid down her cheek. "So pull me in for one more last kiss." Their lips almost touched. "Your tainted lips, I'll sorely miss…." She spoke before their lips touched.
