As I Am

---

Inuyasha grasped the sides of the sleeping womans face. "Kagome, listen to my voice."

"Even if you can't see; hear."

"Even if you can't speak; hear."

"Even if you can't listen; hear."

He felt the stir in her mind and grasped the connection. "Hear me, Kagome." He imagined himself grasping the link between his brain and hers, and pulling, fading himself into her uncious. He found the well first. A strange, rotting thing that looked bone dry. The next was Kagome, talking animatedly to a baboon, and the last, with astonishment, was a younger version of himself. Pinned by an arrow. To a tree.

Kagome turned toward the second him, wiping her tears with the heel of her hand. "Inuyasha, don't you remember me?"

The baboon used her destraction to turn to the hanue. He held up a finger to his mouth, the universal sign language for, "Shh," and turned back around, making a sound half way between a chuckle and a, "Ku."

And Inuyasha was sent back into his own brain.
