I'm Teaching Myself To Dream

Quick note: Some of the words aren't italic or bold or things like that, so you can't tell who's singing when. If you can figure out who is who, great, but if you want to read something that is easier to read, go to http://accessinuyasha.com/ It's another site that I post my fic on. Just to let you know.

Disclaimer: Don't own Inuyasha or any of the songs, lyrics, music, all songs are work done by geniuses who I think are awesome, so please, Don't sue me please… I wonder if I can get a loan from the bank… Man, do I need a life…

Chapter 8: The Dream Sequence

Author's note: This song is "Where You Are" by Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey featured on Jessica's "Sweet Kisses" CD.

AN: If you can't imagine what their voices sound like, imagine Jessica's is Kagome's, and Nick's is Inuyasha's.

{What's happening}

****************************Dream Sequence****************************

{Everything is black then it slowly fades into a scene. There's the old God tree in Inuyasha's time. It's at night, full moon, and there are a million stars in the sky. Then it switches to the God tree in Kagome's time, also a full moon, fog, and a lot of stars. "The star", is out in front of Kagome, shining brighter than all the rest. The sky is pitch black, and there is a little fog around the tree, but the moon and stars provide as much light as a lot of candles do. Against the tree fades in Kagome. She's in her school uniform from two years before, she looks exactly the way she did when she last saw Inuyasha (age 17), and her back is leaning against the left side of the tree with her arms resting at her sides. She has her eyes closed and her head down.}

{Kagome slowly lifts her head up and opens her eyes}

Ohhhhhhhh ohhhh

Oohh ohhhh

{Sings the words sadly to herself, thinking about Inuyasha. You see a close up of Kagome's face from the side.}

There are times

I swear I know you're here

I forget about my fears

{Closes her eyes}

Feelin you my dear

{Opens eyes again}

{You see the side view of the tree and Kagome, enough to see the top half of Kagome}

Watchin over me

My hope sees

{Hugs herself like she's cold}

What the future will bring

When you wrap me in your wings

{Hugs herself tighter}

And take me where you are

Where you and I will be together

{Kagome closes her eyes}

Once again,

{You hear Inuyasha's voice but don't see him}

we'll be dancin in the moonlight

Just like we used to do

{Kagome opens her eyes}

And you'll be smilin back at me

{She smiles a little}

Only then will I be free

When I can be, where you are

{Kagome fades out, still hugging herself tightly, until the tree is alone in the fog (which isn't as thick now). The tree turns into the tree in Inuyasha's time and Inuyasha is on the opposite side Kagome was, the right side. He has his back leaning against it, with his hands are resting at his sides. He looks exactly the way he did, when he last saw Kagome (age 19), fire-rat kimono and all. You see a close up of his face from the side.}

And I can see your face

{closes eyes}

Your kiss I still can taste

{opens eyes}

Not a memory erased

{Inuyasha quickly fades out, and Kagome fades back in on the same side she was, you see her whole body against the tree, in the same position she was just in with her arms folded, the fog is almost gone now, and she's looking up at the night sky}

Oh, how I see your star

{Kagome looks at the bright star that Inuyasha saw back in the feudal era when he promised Shippo that they'd find Kagome}

Shinin down on me

And I'd do anything

{Suddenly the scene switches to a view of the whole tree. There is a line running down the center of the tree, on the side where Kagome is, it's her time. On the other side of the "imaginary" line is Inuyasha's time, if you look at the line you see the full tree but one half is Kagome's time, one half is Inuyasha's time. (I hope you understand what I'm talking about) Inuyasha quickly fades in on "his" side of the tree in his time. Both Kagome and Inuyasha are facing away from each other, or the "line". The fog is almost totally gone, and the star is on Kagome's side, opposite of the full moon, which is on Inuyasha's side.}

If I could just,be right there where you are

{Close up Kagome's top half, Kagome closes her eyes and puts one hand on her heart}

Where you and I will breathe together

Once again

{Shows full tree with "line" and both and their sides, can see both of their entire bodies}

We'll be dancin in the moonlight

Just like we used to do

{Close up of Kagome's top half from the side, she's smiling looking straight out in front of her.}

And you'll be smilin back at me

{Close up of Inuyasha's top half from the side, he's smiling looking straight out in front of him.}

(you'll be smilin back at me)

{Close up of Kagome's top half from the side, her arms are now back to hugging herself, she's looking at "the star."}

Only then will I be free

{Looking back out in front of her.}

Then I will be free, so take me where you are

{Switches back to Inuyasha's "side", see top half of him from side, he's looking at the full moon.}

Now baby there are times when selfishly

I'm wishin that you were here with me

{Inuyasha sees the moon, and then a picture of Kagome's smiling face fades onto it.}

So I can wipe the tears from your eyes and make you see

{Moon goes back to normal}

That every night when you are dreamin

I'm here to guard you from afar

{You see the full tree, and the "line" separating the two eras, and Kagome and Inuyasha on their sides, full view of their bodies, both of them have their eyes closed}

And anytime I feel in love

I'll close my eyes and dream of where you are

{White line disappears, and Kagome's side becomes Inuyasha's era, each is on their side of the SAME tree.}

Where you are

And we will breathe together, baby

{Inuyasha and Kagome still have their eyes closed and are seeing images of them together inside their heads. They see a clip of the flashback where Kagome is injured by Naraku (the "I'm Sorry" one), a clip of where Inuyasha promised Shippo they'd find her (the part where he sees "their star" for the first time), and a flash of where they were in that one picture (the one Sango got from Kagome's old mirror, the sunset one). Then all of a sudden, they feel warm and comfortable. Something they haven't truly felt since they last saw each other. As they see these images, you hear their voices. They're lips aren't moving, but you hear them singing while seeing the images.}

Once again we'll be dancin in the moonlight

Just like we used to do

And you'll be smilin back at me (you'll be smilin back at me)

{The fog is completely gone now, and there is a slight breeze. Kagome could feel it blow and tousle her hair a bit, and didn't think anything of it, until she felt her hair brush up against something.}

{Inuyasha and Kagome STILL have their eyes closed, and he smells Kagome's scent. He wonders why. (This is all happening while they see the images)}

Only then will I be free

Then I will be free,

{In the same instant, both open their eyes to come face to face with each other, they are both directly under the center of the tree.}

Baby I still believe

{For the first few seconds all they could do was stare at each other, disbelieving. (Full bodies view)}

Oh I gotta believe

I still believe

{Inuyasha hesitates, then slowly extends his arm out in front him and reaches for her hand.}

I will touch you that sweet day

{She gratefully accepts gesture and reaches for his hand as well.}

That you take me there

{Inuyasha clasps Kagome's hand firmly in his own and gives Kagome a warm little smile. Kagome smiles back and starts to slowly walk backwards (in the direction of the well, but the well isn't in view) gently pulling him along with her… Inuyasha walks with her smiling at her the whole time.}

Where you are (where you are)

I still believe

{They are still under the tree but under "the star" instead of the center of the tree. The wind blows a little breeze and it tousles their hair a little.}

Whoooooa, I gotta believe

I still believe

{Kagome reaches her other hand up and rests it on Inuyasha's shoulder. Inuyasha's other hand reaches up and takes hold of Kagome's waist. They lift the hands that are together up in front of them, about shoulder height.}

I will touch you that sweet day

{They are in "slow-dancing position" and start to slow dance to the dream's music (remember their lips aren't moving, but they are "singing"…0.0 did that make any sense?)}

That you take me there

Where you are, oh where you are!

{They get a little closer, inch by inch, little by little…}

I still believe

I gotta believe

{Closer and closer, they hold their hands tighter, Kagome grips the fabric on Inuyasha's shoulder a little harder. Inuyasha pulls Kagome's body a little closer… Their bodies are very, very close, touching close. Their faces are inches apart…The music is starting to fade…}

I still believe

I'll always be waiting here

{They start to move their faces even closer and tilt them a little…the music and singing is still fading…}

That sweet day(that sweet day, yeah!)

{Kagome moves her hand up to the back of Inuyasha's neck, Inuyasha wraps his one arm all the way around Kagome's waist… The music is almost impossible to hear…The voices are almost completely gone…They both close their eyes while moving their tilted heads closer and closer…Then the scene starts to darken…}

I still believe...I still believe...

{The scene becomes almost completely black… The music and voices are completely gone…complete silence… All you see is two silhouetted figures of faces mere millimeters apart…before the scene blacks out entirely and the dream has come to an end…}

Author's Note: Yes, I do know they haven't kissed yet in this chapter, and in the song it mentions that they have, but you can't be too picky about the songs, it's hard to find songs that relate to fics.

Also, I'm sorry if people hate me putting these kind of songfic thingies in, but I like writing them, and I have about two more of these things planned so far in later chapters….

Also, sorry about the time zones, In Oahu and in Japan. I know that Honolulu and Oahu aren't far apart, pretty much on the same island… I think… yeah… and Honolulu and Tokyo are five hours different.

I hope you get what I meant with the "imaginary white line." If you've ever seen a movie like Look Who's Talking Now, there's a part where two people are dreaming, and their dreams mesh or combine, but before they combine, they're separated by a white line… It's kinda confusing…

I'm also sorry for saying to imagine that Inuyasha's voice sounds like Nick Lachey's, but if your like me, you can't picture Inuyasha singing let alone imagine what it sounds like…0.0…too scary of a thought…
