Sleep was elusive tonight. Though it came in bits, Sango spent more time with her eyes open than closed.
The dreams. More like memories.
They haunted her, stalked her though the night with such frequency she was guaranteed not to forget them come morning. Not that she would. The lonely hanyou boy crying. The small hanyou child covered in blood. The hanyou man pinned to a tree, his hair blowing in the wind, the rest of him remained lifeless.
So alone.
She wanted to reach out, grab home, hold him, and tell him all would be well. Though she would be lying. Tossing back and forth on her spot near the fire, Sango gave up, knowing she could not seek solace this night. Grabbing her blade, she left the site finding a clear area she could work in. Defensive position number one, two, thee and four. Offensive attack one, two, three, four.
Why would she dream of his memories she asked herself. Was it the fang? Was it due to the connection forged between them? She still felt like she was in his head, a place she had never wanted to be. He was troubled, confused. Lonely.
Even with Kagome he was still lonely.
Running through her paces again she forced herself to empty her head. And with the rise of dawn came a new day.
Her blade echoed against another as it came in contact with Tetsusaiga. Inuyasha's golden eyes focused on hers. 'It's time,' she realized. 'It was coming.'
