A cool hand soothes Kagome's heat as she snuggles deeper into the hand that was on her cheek. Kagome only knew of one person who took care of her when she was young, and it was her mother. Her freezing hand as she wrung ice cold towels for Kagome.

This hand seemed just as soft and cool, yet a different physique. It smelled of flowers and apples.

Kagome opened her eyes and saw the pale hand outstretch to her again and the waft of the scent had her close her eyes in pleasure. The hand tucked a strand of stray hair behind her ear. She shivered at the feeling of something sharp brush her skin.

Claws? She thought, reopening her eyes to see long strands of silver. She trailed the path towards a figure kneeling next to her.

She closed her eyes, unable to keep them open, a second away from seeing the owner's face.

"Thank you..." She inaudibly mumbles, before falling back into unconsciousness.

. . . .

It was warm. It was soft.

Kagome rolled to her side not knowing what she was on that could be so soft. Did she fall out of her usual tree into a pile of leaves?

"Lady Kagome, are you awake?" A voice called out to her. Kagome groaned and covered her eyes. The smell of flowers and apples.

Kagome suddenly sat up, ignoring the temporary blackout from sitting up too fast. She searched quickly for the silver haired man, a part of her not wanting it to be a dream.

A small child came into view instead. A table was behind the girl; and on it were a pile of flowers and apples.

Kagome couldn't help, but feel disappointed. She put a hand to her hand, knowing that it won't stop her headache.

"Rin?" She called out, her voice slightly raspy.

"Yeah! That's me. Do you feel any better, Lady Kagome." She asked worriedly, not knowing what else to do.

"No, I feel better. Were you the only one here the whole night?" Kagome asked, hoping. Not knowing what to expect however.

Rin tipped her head to the side in confusion. "Yes. Why?"

Kagome could barely find Sesshomaru's aura in the room. A skill she was born with. Everyone had a different aura they would leave behind. She sighed, making sure Rin didn't hear.

"It's nothing." Kagome assured, smiling. "Thank you."

Rin beamed and then her face lit up as she remembered something. She turned around and reached up to the table behind her and grabbed the banquet of flowers.

"Here you go! Rin made this for Lady Kagome!" Rin exclaimed happily, handing the flowers to Kagome.

The older smiled warmly, feeling something different for the first time in her 4 years. She could definitely get used to this, but she shouldn't.

"This is beautiful." Kagome ruffled Rin's hair softly which Rin seemed to love. Kagome got out of bed, feeling lighter than she did last night.

"I'll be right back, I just want some fresh air."

Rin nodded and Kagome slipped out.

She followed Sesshomaru's youki instead and saw him on the top of the hill away from the village. Of course. He would not wander so far without his kin.

Kagome approached him knowing fully well that he knew she was coming.

"Why are you out here alone?" Kagome asked as a conversation starter, smoothing out her kimono, something she found herself doing in nervousness. Was she nervous at the moment? Most certainly not.

"I can not be in there with the humans." He blankly stated, stopping to glance at her before looking back into the view. Kagome stared at what he was staring at to only see trees.

"You seem well." Sesshomaru said his voice softer.

"yes. Thank you for taking care of me." Kagome said, kicking lightly at the grass.

"Rin did."

"Yes, but you allowed her to. So, I am giving my gratitude." Kagome grumbled, which Sesshomaru found amusing.

Golden eyes stared her down as she tried her best not to make eye contact. Finding the silence strangely unbearable, Kagome spoke up.

"I, uh, I'm going back now. You should leave soon, I don't want to burden your travels." Kagome heard him stand up and couldn't help, but sneak a glance at his hands. Her heart warmed and sped up.

She didn't know if her face was red or not so she decided to turn around first and speed back down the hill, before saying goodbye.

"It was real." She whispered placing both of her hands on her cheeks to cool them down.

A ghost of her aura was on his fingers.

He was there.

It wasn't a dream.
