Chapter 2;; This Isn't a Dream

The fog that spread from somewhere deep in the graveyard around her seemed thick enough to swallow her alive.

"Is anyone here?" Her voice called out into the darkness, a twinge of panic in her voice.

"Yes, there is someone here."

The voice seemed to reverberate off of the gravestones and trees. She couldn't decide where it was coming from, but she didn't fear it, it felt comforting to her.

"Where are you?" She questioned, taking a few tentative steps forward, worried she might knock into something.

"I'm here with you." The voice replied closer this time.

The voice seemed to wrap around her heart and tell her that there was no need to worry in that simple phrase.

"Where are we?" She asked, reaching a hand out in the darkness.

"That is a difficult question to answer." The male voice replied, "We are not in your mind, nor are we in mine."

There was a pause, "It doesn't seem like we're dreaming."

"What do you mean, we aren't in my mind?" Kagome asked stopping, realizing that walking forward wasn't going to do her any good.

"This isn't a dream. It's more of us being telepathic. If that's possible."

"Oh…" Was all that came to her.

"What's your name?" The voice asked curiously.

"My name is Kagome." She answered, oddly excited that he would even want to know.

"My name is Sesshomaru." Came the voice once again.

Kagome smiled, she liked his name.

"How come I can't see you?"

"I chose not to come out."

"Well come out." Kagome said plainly, if she was stuck here, she at least wanted Sesshomaru to be with her.

"Well…okay." Came the voice, but this time Kagome could tell where it was coming from.

Kagome quickly whipped around in the direction of the voice and found the same long silver haired guy as before. But just as Kagome was about to speak again, her surroundings started to fade away.

Kagome shot up and was startled to find that she was still in her room.

She slowly climbed out of bed, pondering what Sesshomaru had meant that she wasn't dreaming. Of course she had been.

She hit her head with her hand, 'Stupid mind, giving me false hope.'

But, as Kagome showered, she wondered if it really was just her imagination. Normally she didn't remember her dreams this vividly.

After showering, and getting re-dressed, Kagome ran down the stairs, skipping a few and nearly tripping over a broom her mother had left at the bottom, she was surprised to find that she was alone in the house.

"Oh well." She said aloud and continued walking out of the house, clearly not wanting to be around when her parents got back.

She figured a quick trip to the graveyard wouldn't hurt.

Suddenly Kagome had an eerie feeling that someone was watching her, but she cast it off as one of the usual stares that were thrown her way when she ran down the street.

"How come I keep coming back here?" she whispered as she walked in the entrance of graveyard.

Just then a flash of her dream came to her mind. She was standing in the same place she had been in her dream. Kagome desperately started to look around. She was sure, it couldn't have been a normal dream.

"…Sesshomaru?" Kagome called out softly, could he be here, too?

A sudden gust of wind blew against Kagome and she stopped.

"What was I thinking of course he's not here." She said, turning toward the entrance.

How could she be so stupid. It was just a dream. She was just so excited about spending Halloween in the graveyard this year that she was starting to make up stories about it in her mind, right?
