Chapter 7: Dreams

Kagome smiled as Shippo snuggled in her arms, sighing softly a heavy sleep falling over her and she started to dream.

Dream: "Kagome what in the box?" Inuyasha asked sniffing at the picnic basket.

Kagome smiled and lifted it; sweet and yummy smells escaping from the flaps. "You'll see," she said in a sweet sing-song voice; laughing at Inuyasha's pouting expression.

"It looks rather tasty Lady Kagome: Miroku complimented with one of his charming smiles as Sango rolled her eyes; petting the sleeping Kirara in her lap.

" Miroku blinked at her; giving the taijiya a curious look. "Why Sango you know I'm just being polite," he stated with an innocent look.

Sango gave him a flat look "Can it."

Kagome dropped her head with a sigh; glancing to the two.

"Forget it Miroku she saw you going of with the village women earlier."

Miroku blinked, then started to grin turning to stare at Sango.

"No need to be jealous Sango, it was nothing; I was merely taking responsibility for my unknown death."

Sango looked at him; her face a light pink. "I-I'm not jealous. You just promising those girls and all; when you're not serious, it's kind of cruel."

Kagome looked to her friend with sympathy feeling for Sango. Her friend had actually given up on Miroku a month ago because of his groping and woman habits just remaining friends with the monk.

"KA.GO.ME" Inuyasha whined, nudging his head toward the picnic basket.

"Oh right!" She set the basket in the middle and started to take out sandwiches, chips, and other types of food.

Inuyasha picked up an apple and bit into it; instantly making a horrid face and dropping it.

"Yuck! Kagome this food is horrible!"

Kagome rubbed her temples starting to get irritated with the hanyou.

"Here, she shoved a bag of chips into his hand and a zip locked bag of chicken into his hands; try this" She glanced over to Miroku and Sango; glad to see they were at least enjoying it.

Inuyasha stared at the bag and started to tear it open with his claws; grabbing a hold of the chicken with his bare hands and munching down hungrily. "Hey! This is pretty good Kagome!" he smiled eating it sloppily.

Kagome glanced at the hanyou unpleasantly muttering. "Glad you like it…"

"Kagome!" cried the perky voice of Shippo from behind her.

"Shippo did you have fun picking---"she started at the fox cub; a huge whole in the middle of his chest.

She gasped rushing toward him; her dream world quickly going red; the background swirling as the others disappeared all for Shippo and her. And Shippo; the dieing Shippo…was getting farther and farther away from her.

She felt her eyes start to water and ran ahead frantically. "No Shippo! Shippo!"

Kagome sat up with a gasp; breathing heavily, her hair in tangles from moving around so much while she slept. She ran a hand back through her hair; giving an exhausted sigh.

She looked ahead to see Inuyasha still asleep in the tree and Miroku snoozing against the bark leaning on his cane. Sango was probably still asleep inside the hut. She settled back down on the ground glancing beside her softly at the fox cub. But he was gone.

She suddenly stood up grabbing her bow and arrows; taking off for the forest, the only place Shippo would have actually gone. This was terrible. Shippo was gone…just like her dream.

((And you know I thought of stopping here to but I'm not that cruel ()

Kagome dashed through the forest; her heart beating wildly.

She prayed Shippo was safe. "Shippo! Shippo!" she called as she ran; waiting for answer; nothing. She kept running, going deeper and deeper into the forest. I can't; I just can't lose him.

Please, please be okay. Please! She swallowed; her stomach at her throat, terror filling her being. "Shippo!" she tried again and again; finally stopping to catch her breath.

'I know I wasn't asleep that long.'

She heard a women's voice ahead.

"Oh really, so it is soon for Inuyasha,"

"Yeah, a moonless night, we have to be careful." Shippo answered the women.

'Hold on that sounds like...' Kagome walked ahead into a clearing; spotting her friends by a small stream.

She blinked staring ahead at Shippo and…Sango.

"Sango you can walk!" Kagome cried rushing forward to give her friend a hug. Her friend smiled and patted Kagome's back.

"Yeah, but it's still kind of sore." Kagome nodded with understanding; smiling at her and Shippo.

"I thought you were still asleep, she paused giving a sigh of relief, and when I saw Shippo was gone; I was afraid he was hurt or in trouble."

Shippo smiled at Kagome. "Nope, Sango asked me to come with her to get some water to filter; so we'd have something to drink!" he answered happily holding up one of the canteens.

"I just wanted to pay you back…for you know finding me." Sango answered was a small smile; her face going red.

Kagome smiled at her friend.

"That's so sweet Sango-Chan! But you don't really have to repay us you're our friend. Now let me help you two carry these back."

Sango nodded with a more comfortable smile and they all headed back. Kagome led the way back to camp; happy with her friends recovery…though it seemed odd for her to heal so fast, but Sango was a tough one and hey why bother figuring it out.

They were all very lucky Sango wasn't dead; she shouldn't worry so much.

"Whee! This is fun Hana!" giggled a happy Rin as she splashed in the shallow end of the hot spring.

The little Sango couldn't help, but smile at her new friend and the new name she'd given her. They'd finally stopped for a break on their traveling and once Rin had awoken the two had become instant friends. She liked Rin a lot; if only Sesshoumaru wasn't around.

"Yeah Rin-Chan!" she giggled.

"Rin come it's time to leave! You too girl!" came Sesshoumaru's voice from afar.

"Coming!" Rin called; quickly grabbing a towel as wrapped it around her; quickly drying off then getting dressed.

Hana (Sango) sighed at Sesshouamru's call…did he have to run everything?

"Are you coming Hana -Chan?" Rin asked struggling into her kimono. Hana nodded to the other girl.

"Yeah I'll be there in a minute." Rin nodded as she slipped her hands into the sleeves, putting on her sandals and heading towards Sesshouamru.

Hana pouted when her friend left; she really didn't want to go back to Sesshoumaru; she didn't hate him exactly…just didn't like him a lot. She huffed; wrapping a towel around her; taking her time to dry of; just staring up at the sky, her brown eyes going blank as a boy appeared before her vision.

Memory: "Sister! I almost have it!" the young boy cried; bending his knees and pouncing for a fish. The fish saw him coming and dashed away, the boy flailing and splashing backwards. "Kohaku, she heard herself speak; giggling, you have to do like this." She bent forward; watching the fish like cat would a mouse, then in a quick swipe brought her hand down to swipe it up in victory. Kohaku frowned, giving a cute pout "Aw, you're too good San—End Memory.

"Eep!" Hana cried as she was lifted up still covered in only the towel.

"Did I not tell you to come, girl?" Sesshoumaru growled; swiping up her kimono with one clawed hand as if he could tear it to shreds.

Hana swallowed, embarrassed as she stared at her kimono in his other hand. She started to apologize, but stopped instead getting angry.

"Hey it's not my fault I starter to remember something, she didn't happen to mention before that she'd been wasting time, and then you interrupted it!"

Sesshoumaru growled angrily; glaring at her as her dropped her roughly to the ground; tossing the kimono over her; leaning down, gripping her hair roughly tangling his hand into her tangled wet strands.

"You will not talk that way to me, child. No how should I punish you?" Hana whimpered. There was a dangerous gleam in his eyes; Rin and the toad could wait. It was time to teach Hana a lesson.

Okay yeah that's really the end this time; p How will Sesshoumaru punish our poor Sango? Find out in the next chapter! Oh and Rin named Sango Hana because Hana means flowers in Japanese. X3 and we all KNOW Rin loves flowers. Okay people if you want more I need 5 reviews or more.
