It was early morning and once again Kagome's friend Hojo was visiting her.

"Kagome doesn't suit you!" her little brother Souta had said to her from the start. "He's a total slimy and a wimp at that! You'd better look for a really strong friend." "Oh shut up. What do you know about such things. Besides, it's none of your business with whom I go or not!" she had corrected him every time, but secretly she knew that he was right. But she didn't want to admit that to herself or even her little brother.

In any case, they were both back in their room and listening to music. But suddenly her boyfriend got up from the desk chair where he had been sitting all the time and took a seat next to her on the bed. As a matter of course he now put an arm around her, which suddenly ripped her out of her daydreams to which she, as so often recently, had given herself up. She stared at him, startled.° What is he up to now? ° She didn't have to wait long for an answer, because his face was getting closer and closer to hers so that she could already feel his breath on her skin. Inwardly she resisted his attempt, but she seemed unable to break out of his embrace when she was suddenly released from her rigidity by a bark. It was Inuyasha who had stood threateningly in front of Hojo and now looked at him with sparkling eyes, so that he immediately let go of the girl. "Hey Inuyasha is fine. Shall we go outside?" and before the boy who was sitting next to her could say anything she had already disappeared and just left him.

"Thanks my little one," she said, relieved, and leaned down to caress him behind his ears. Because she really didn't want to kiss Hojo, even though she had been with him for almost two months. But if she had been honest with herself she would have had to admit that she actually didn't want it.At the time, it was he who had constantly imposed himself and did not leave her alone until she finally agreed to go to the cinema with him. But that only made it worse because from then on he came to the Higurashi Shrine almost every day to visit her. He brought her dozens of flowers, gifts and sweets so that she could easily have opened a gift shop with all that stuff. And one day he just decided that they were together now and had so taken Kagome by surprise that she simply accepted it without a word. Everything in her resisted it but she liked him and didn't want to hurt him and so until now she had tried to make the best of the messed up situation for her.

"No! ..... Kagome ..... not!" shouted a half demon who was sitting on a tree in front of Kaede's hut and now had some trouble not to fall down from exactly this one. "What a dream!?" he said to himself while wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead."Inuyasha, what happened?" asked the monk who came running out of the hut immediately when he heard his screaming, and now stood worriedly under the tree and looked up at him. "Nothing, it was just a bad dream." he calmed Miroku and asked in the same breath "Is the old witch still not back?" "No!" said the addressed then "but she will be here soon. Sango flew to meet her with Kirara so that she can get here faster!" with that he let himself go and went back into the hut.

"So, so you dreamed of her?" ask Kaede when they finally sat together in their hut late in the evening. "Yes, every night." said the Hanyou to her and still looked very sad when he continued to admit "It seemed to me as if I had been with her, I could smell her even." For a few seconds there was absolute silence until he continued; “And then there was the thing on the tree!” And so he tells his friends, who until now had no idea, about his experiences.Kaede had listened carefully and you could tell that it all made sense to her. But before she could say anything, they heard another voice coming in front of her shoulder. “It’s very clear, Master Inuyasha!” “Then don’t excite us any longer,” said the man he was talking to angrily. "A word of greeting would have been appropriate!" said the old flea and acted offended. "O. K., hello Miyoga, nice that you are back" the Hanyou relented to finally be cleared up. "All right," said the old man in reconciliation and began. "It seems like part of your soul is with her." Sango asked incredulously. "Yes, it seems so!" Kaede said now "Kagome and Inuyasha are very strongly connected to each other." (At this sentence he blushed a bit!) "Inuyasha had sworn to stay with her and to protect her, but he was brought to her by a spell to forget just like all of us. When you were walking through the forest, he could smell her, couldn't he !?"" Yes, "he said," but I didn't know whose smell it was. "" It doesn't matter, "she continued." The moment you smelled her, part of your soul remembered her and followed her. As a result, your dog bears such a resemblance to you and bears your name. He is nothing else than the incarnate part of your soul that ran after her to be with her and to protect her. "" So I don't assume that Inuyasha only dreamed of her! "Stated Miroku and looked really enlightened." No, "Myoga said again," Whenever he was asleep, he subconsciously put himself into the dog and could be with her like that! "But how does she know that the dog is called Inuyasha?" Shippo wanted to know. "I assume that his chain was turned into a collar to help her remember him." Kaede tried to explain but she was quite sure He couldn't believe it, so he had actually been with her without knowing it.But that would mean that the thing with her boyfriend and that this guy had tried to kiss her wasn't a dream but a reality. That was too much for him, he had to deal with that first. And so he went out to get some fresh air while the others stayed inside to discuss what could be done with the newly gained knowledge.

"Kagome what's wrong?" wanted to know the boy who had followed her outside. She was standing in front of the tree and seemed to be thinking when she turned around so suddenly that he was startled. Sighing, she looked at him and finally said, "Listen Hojo, I can't be with you." She looked at the floor now and there was a few seconds of radio silence, but then he found his language again and said "Yes, I've already got that Thought. Since the other day you are so strange to me and avoid me all the time. "Now he looked almost happy when he turned around to leave but still yelled" Maybe you can't do it at the moment, but I won't give up.You will see. "(Man can this guy get mad !!! * Roll his eyes *) And then he was gone and had left a rather perplexed Kagome behind. By 'recently' he had meant the day when she and Inuyasha faced each other Now she went back to her room where she lay down on the bed and patted her dog on the head. She closed her eyes and saw him inside. She had the feeling of floating when she thought of him and then his eyes. She opened hers again and now looked directly into her dog's ° Just as beautiful as his ° she thought she would have liked to see him again, but she wasn't even sure anymore whether he had been real at all him until she finally fell asleep.

In the Middle Ages, Inuyasha still sat in a tree and worried about Kagome and his friend. Again and again he saw the picture in front of his eyes, how this guy had dared to throw himself up to "his" Kagome and he caught himself growling angrily to himself.° No ° he thought now ° I will not just leave it to this guy! ° (He couldn't have known that she had long since separated from him and mostly because of him!) With this thought he jumped up and went back to his friends. When he entered the hut, Kaede looked up at him and said "Come here and sit down. I think we have a good idea!" And with that she began to explain everything to him.
