Disclaimer: I wish I wish… You know the rest. The whole thing. But if you don't, let me tell you: I wish I wish I owned InuYasha.
Darkness. Cold, misty, and painful. Words cut through the air.
"InuYasha… why? What… but you were… we were…" The girl cut off, and looked at the forest floor, tears welling in her eyes.
"I'm sorry, Kagome." InuYasha said. Kagome stormed off. InuYasha followed for a little while, but just stopped after Kagome turned and glared at him once, tears streaming down her face.
"Leave me alone!" she cried. Suddenly, everything changed. It was still a dark night, but was a cheerful time; stars twinkling overhead peacefully. InuYasha walked through the grounds of Higurashi Shrine, and walked all the way to Kagome's room. He reached slowly for the door, and as soon as his hand touched it, it slammed open. He was face-to face with Kagome, who was staring at him with… what was it? Gratitude, happiness, pure joy. InuYasha moved over to her quickly, hugged her, and as soon as he tightened his embrace, a searing pain shot through him from his head.
He suddenly woke, upside-down on the ground, right next to the tree he had been sleeping in that night. He got up and shook himself off, puzzling over his dream. The sunlight glinted from the east, rejoicing in its source having just risen across feudal Japan. InuYasha looked after it and headed for the ancient well.
Kagome was lying on her bed. She had been in her own time for only a day, and she wanted to go back already. There was no school; it was winter break. She had been surprised to find this, because she figured it was just a regular home trip. She had woken up that morning, and was going out the door when her brother had called her from the window. 'Sis! Where are you going? You're not going back already, are you?' She had wondered what he was talking about, and then it all came back to her. Winter Break! Christmas! Her school friends! And then she had remembered InuYasha.
She was sleeping in now, although she didn't get more than five minutes' rest at a time. How could she have not known? It had been getting colder… she must have just been distracted by going after another jewel shard. She couldn't get back to sleep, a thought had crossed her mind. Christmas, in the Sengoku Jidai! She could tell all of her friends there about Christmas, and watch their delighted smiles as she told them about the gift- giving, and decorations, and Santa, and -she laughed to herself here- mistletoe. She would cook a small feast, with a honey-glazed ham and some of everyone's favorite food. She would get them all a wonderful gift each, and it would be a great, ecstatic day, watching all of her friends' curious glances at their wrapped gifts sitting next to the well. She'd get InuYasha a great present. It would be something he would love, that he wouldn't be able to complain about… but what?
Kagome got out of bed and went to take a shower. She spent a long time in the warm, soothing water. This is so much better than the Feudal Era. She went down to the dining room, and got some breakfast. Whenever she got back to her own time, it was always like paradise. Her mom's food was always great, and warm, running water surprised her almost every time she came from the feudal era. She considered over breakfast if she should go get InuYasha or not before she went shopping. They could buy gifts for Sango, Shippou, Miroku and Kirara, and maybe something for each other. She finished, and then went to get her backpack. "See you later, mom! I'm going to visit InuYasha for a while!" Kagome called.
"You're going back already?" her mom replied.
"Just for a few hours!" And she left.
Wow… they both think about each other when they're apart…it's so cute. It was a pretty weird dream InuYasha had, wasn't it? It doesn't really play a part in the story; it just shows standings at the moment between Inu-Kikyo-Kagome, kind of. Just pay attention that InuYasha loves both of them. Oh, and to all my readers, yes, all three or so of you '( Sorry it took me so long to get this one out… I wanted to wait till Christmas, but just couldn't. I just waited till I got a better fan fiction out first. So now you will all know what happens months before X-Mas! I'm going to start writing my fan fictions and publishing the chapters when I finish them, not when I finish the whole thing. That'll be in my next fan fiction (Sequel to Sun & Moon)… I have a very slight plan for it, but otherwise, it has a while to go. Please read The Sun and the Moon, and it's sequel (s?). It's ok. For me. Thanks.
