Inuyasha screamed in his sleep, thrashing about and snarling frantically. Out of pure instinct, Auzrieal, a few rooms over, jumped out of her bed and ran at a dead sprint down the hall.
Inu awoke to find him self clutched to her chest, sobbing uncontrollability. Despite the soothing smell of lavender and chamomile coming from Auzrieal's neck and wrists, Inu was still distressed.
Her voice floated over him like a warm protection blanket (by the way, she is singing to him in elfish...) and he finally came to his senses and stopped blubbering like a baby sea lion.
"See there? You're alright." Auz coos, tilting her head to the side and sliding off the bed. At that moment, Inu realizes that she is in nothing but a bra and her cotton underwear.
"Um..." he muttered, watching as she sat down in the arm chair beside his bed.
"I'll sit here until you fall back asleep Inu. Nothing to fear.'' She curled up and rests her head on her arms, watching him. Inu began to wonder if she even knows that she is half nude...
Auzrieal stood in front of a small mirror, pinning her hair to her head with two black rose hair pins that James gave her years ago. A hand falls onto her shoulder and Inu is reflected in the mirror, a smug look on his face.
"Morning" she grumbled to him, tightening the cords on her leathers corset.
"Why are you dressing for battle" Inu asked, grabbing her shoulder and spinning her around.
"Because... because... because of this Inuyasha." she muttered, grabbing a fist full of black hair that hangs in front of his ears. She lets go of his hair and bends over, her fingers flying over the laces on her boots.
(That's it for now, much love, Auz)
