I could feel his presence while I sat in the clearing; I knew he was watching me. Jaken lay across the open space, across the fire from me, snoring quite loudly, considering how small he was. Ah-Un lay closer, their heads laying to my right ready to defend me with their lives. After a moment I saw white step out of the bushes, his hand resting o the hilt of Bakusaiga. With inhuman speed he had me by my throat up against a tree, Bakusaiga's tip resting on my just over my pounding heart.
"This Sesshomaru will be rid of all his weaknesses", he hissed, followed by a sharp pain in my chest.
My eyes flashed open as I sat up in bed with tears and sweat pouring down my face. It was only a dream? Yeh, some dream that was I nightmare. I reached over to my right hoping to feel my mate's body, but came up empty. He's still not back yet. Suddenly I felt my stomach twist and I ran to the out bathing chamber.
After seeing my dinner for the second time, gross, I decided to get a bath and scrub off all the sweat and salt water. I blamed my sudden illness on the smell of salt and tears; it was a revolting smell. I untied my robe and let it pool at my feet, then gingerly stepped into the hot water. After the initial shock, I relaxed and let my mind wander, and it took my to Sesshomaru and the very vivid dream I had only minutes ago.
