Summary: Kagome dreams.
A/N:
Hi, guys! Since the next chapter grew a little too long for my liking I decided to cut it in two uneven parts - this one will be quite short, but the next one'll be much longer. Hope it'll be to your liking
Dreams
Kagome was drifting in her sleep. Her dreams were coming and going, changing in a way she couldn't predict. A part of her mind was aware these visions and feelings weren't real and tried to remember as many details as possible to tell them later to her mother - such odd dreams had to be important visions, not just products of her imagination. For a change her dreams were giving her a sense of safety and peacefulness.
She dreamt of flying above treetops, the world painted in white of the snow and starlight and black of tree limbs. The cold wind was blowing in her face, but the rest of her body was pressed against something radiating heat - still she was shivering. She pressed her face against something silky soft and like long strands of hair or fur to hide from the wind as she fell in the darkness again, feeling weightless and free. Kagome rarely had dreams about flying and never like this. The sensations of the air moving around her, her hair being pulled back, the branches swaying under her were so real. She really wanted to enjoy this dream, but she was so cold and tired... Did she uncover herself in her sleep? Kagome curled closer to the source of warmth, sighing as the soft darkness enveloped her.
Next dream was full of steam and smell of a wet dog. She was again floating, but in water this time, not air. She could feel the warm liquid move against her body, her wet kosode clinging to her skin. She could hear voices echoing around her, as if she was in a cave. She was too tired to really follow the conversation of three voices around her - one of an old man, one of a worried child and one of an annoyed young man. The water in her dream was making her body relax and she felt warm, so she figured out that she had to find a blanket and cover herself in her sleep.
The dream changed suddenly - she felt a pair of arms sneaking under her and lifting her from her warm watery bed. She felt a shiver run down her body as the water started dripping down her wet robe and body. Kagome moved closer to the source of warmth, drawing a gasp-like sound from it. It went still for a long while, but she didn't mind as long as she was warm and could stay motionless. Her body was tired even in her sleep. A thought that the crazy trip to the forest at night was a bad idea came to her mind and disappeared after a moment. As long as her mother wasn't waking her up she wanted to forget about reality. The dream was so pleasant... And it still smelled of a wet dog.
In a blink of a proverbial eye the dream morphed again, but some feelings were lasting. She felt warm, comfortable and safe. Even when in her vision she was again standing on the edge of the meadow, facing the white boar, she couldn't feel fear. She could sense the cold trying to approach her, the beast staring at her with hate in its hollow eyes, but it couldn't reach her within the red youki wrapping itselt around her protectively. waving, pulsing...
A strong pulse of youki in close proximity was what awoke her. Brown eyes snapped open and in an instant beheld her surroundings as she was looking for a raging youkai attacking.
A/N 2: Really, I'm waiting as impatiently as you to get them both to actually talk to each other.
Also I appreciate all kinds of feedback - if you don't like my stories it's okay. Just, please, tell me what exactly is annoying/boring/whatever, so I can improve my writing, ok?
