I've never actully posted here before so I can't be sure how well this will work. Also, my computer lacks grammer check, so if you spot anything, please let me know.
The forest. It was real. She could feel it, smell it. But what was she doing there?
"Yume, you alright?"
She looked over to the right, where Gojyo stood not too far a head of her.
"Wha..." She asked as she let out a breath of air. That's not right. He's not real.
"Hurry the hell up or I'll leave you both behind!" Somewhere ahead of them, Sanzo yelled without looking back.
"It...can't be." Her brows creased in confusion. How did she get there? How did they know her? This couldn't be real. She took a step back.
"Yume? What's wrong?" Hakkai stopped to look back at her. Distantly she could hear Goku complain of his never ending hunger, but by then she could focus on nothing.
Everything was real. Too real. She could feel the grass between her fingers when she fell on her hands and knees. She could hear the footsteps as Gojyo and Hakkai ran up to her form. She could smell the earth, barely damp from the last rainfall. And as she blacked out, she could feel the strong arms of Gojyo lifting her off the ground, the warmth of his skin. Then she saw nothing.

She woke up, head hurting and mildly disoriented. Somewhere to the left was a lamp, though she couldn't see it.
"Ah, you're awake. You gave us quite a scare. How are you feeling?"
Yume looked slowly to the right and smiled softly. It seemed right again, seeing Hakkai. "Sorry 'bout that," she paused, closing her eyes for a second. "My head hurts a bit...feels kinda...fuzzy."
"It's alright. You scared the hell out of Gojyo though. Do you remember what happened?" He asked, brushing his cool hand across her forehead. She sighed and closed her eyes again.
"I'm not too sure. Things just felt...real, but it was like they shouldn't have. I couldn't remember anything except you guys. I couldn't even remember why I was there. It was like a really vivid dream that I'm starting to forget."
"I see. Why don't you get some rest now. We can talk about it some more when you wake up."

The next morning, Yume was awake and back to normal. When asked what happened, all she could say was that she remembered walking through the forest and then she had woken up in the inn. Soon the event was forgotten, and the group of five continued their journey to the west.
