Chapter two: Strange dreams
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Dream
"Inu yasha" Kikyou murmured.
They were in a hill where they can overview the scenery of trees and the sky. It was evening and the moon was shining upon them while they were embracing each other. Holding each other like they will never be tomorrow.
They were silent, so silent that they can hear the rustling of leaves around them. There were birds flapping their wings through the wind.
"Kikyou..." He spoke, breaking the silence.
"I know you love me and I love you too but..." He said softly through the wind.
She tightened her grip on him. Afraid that he might say what she feared most.
"What is it?" No emotion can be seen in her face.
"I-I... love somebody else..." He said stuttering. He loosened his embrace and looked away.
She backed away from him breaking her cold face. It was replaced with confusion and anger.
"I love her." He was determined on what he said.
The wind blew hard within them. Clouds covered the moonlight as if on cue.
"But why Inu yasha? I thought you love me." She asked. She was in the verge of tears.
He covered his eyes with his bangs while saying nothing.
"I'm just a replacement right? I look just like her that's why..."
He nodded. There was complete silence, the birds no longer heard. The leaves stopped rustling.
She lifted her head and looked straight in his eyes. "I understand" she accepted the truth and knew nothing can change it. She started walking away.
He was glad that she understood.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~End of Dream
"Huh?" She said startled after waking from her dream.
"Why did I just dream of that?" She said.
'Admit it Kagome... you liked the dream right?'
To tell the truth she really liked it.
She looked at her alarm clock and read "4:00 a.m."
'I guess I should sleep again... sleep is needed when there is so many problems at hand.' She thought while heading to sleep again.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Dream
They were walking for minutes.
He, Sesshoumaru, was satisfied even if the ebony haired girl was just walking with him. Even if the girl didn't say anything all throughout the walk it did not matter to him.
They were walking in a beach where the moon was high above. He felt something was wrong but he pushed that feeling away. He was happy being with someone but of course he doesn't admit it to anybody.
It bothered him though why the girl did not let him see her face or said anything about her name. Although he felt like he knew this girl from before.
They can hear the soft waves of water colliding with the shore. The stars were a great view with the midnight sky. All of the sudden the girl stopped walking.
"Huh?" He turned around to see the girl.
The girl started walking the opposite way. He followed but was stopped when a boy about a year older than her came. He held a hand to the girl.
The boy had silvery white hair, the same as his but he can't see his face clearly, much the same with the girl.
The girl then took the boy's hand and they started walking away, leaving Sesshoumaru.
Sesshoumaru did not bother to do anything instead he just stood there and watched them.
"Hmph" He continued walking in the other direction.
Though his face held no emotion, his eyes did. He felt the same when his mother died.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~End of Dream
He woke up and was surprised that he felt an emotion in his sleep. He blamed himself for allowing it to happen.
He looked at his window and saw the sun coming up. He got up from bed and worked his way for breakfast. All the way thinking about what just happened.
*****
"Bye mom!" she said while rushing to the door. She grabbed a few toast and ran outside of the house.
"Take care honey" Her mother said.
"You too"
She waved a goodbye to her younger brother Sota and her grandfather and walked to the corner of the road.
Even if she was already 24, she still acts like a school girl.
She walked whenever she was heading to her job. She liked walking even if none of her friends was with her. Sesshoumaru is on his job, he was a boss of a big company near where she was working. Sango is probably already there and Miroku is off somewhere where he can grope women.
The sun was rising above her and she can hear people talking. Talking about their business and life.
'Thank God for letting me have a dream like that... it was the most beautiful dream I ever had.'
She sighed and thought on what will she do about her problem.
'I should just act as if nothing happened after all nothing really is between us.' Satisfied with what she thought she continued walking.
"Sango's right... I shouldn't take it too seriously"
"Sango's right about what?" a voice said from behind her.
'Oh shit!' She just can't believe in her stupid luck.
"Nothing! Why are you here Inu yasha?"
She didn't bother looking at him when she asked. She was concentrated in walking.
"Well I... I just want to a-ask you if I-I c...can walk" He gulped "...y- you to work" His face a color of crimson. He didn't normally ask her at anything... well... before Kikyou came in their life.
'Time to sort things out' She thought. "Sure"
"Ok" He walked beside her while shaking nervously.
They turned in a corner. They can hear so many people talking at the same time.
'Take a deep breath Kagome you can do this' She assured herself that nothing can go wrong.
"Is it true that you and Kikyou are getting married?" She said calmly.
'Good! you said that without shaking'
"Yes... why?" he stopped shaking and stared at her directly.
"Nothing really... so when?" 'Again with that nothing... it really is a something...'
"We're just engaged for now... don't know when's the actual wedding."
"Oh" 'We'll that's good'
"Uhm... so when are we gonna finish our project" He asked.
She thought for a while and then answered. "Uh... oh yeah... I think we can finish it by tomorrow if we work non-stop today"
"Then why don't we start already once we reach our job?"
"Are you sure?"
"Feh! Of course!"
'For once we're not arguing.'
He smiled.
'He's cute when he smiles' she thought while she smiled back.
He blushed furiously and she laughed hard.
"Oi! Why are you laughing?" He blushed deeper.
"Nothing... you're just cute when you blush" She said while wiping some tears off her eyes.
"Really?" He grinned. 'I know that grin' she reminded herself.
"Wait! I didn't mean it" She backed away.
"Oh! You should have said that earlier." He took a step closer and then he tickled her.
"Hey stop! I'm sorry... really!" she continued laughing.
After a while he joined her laugh. He never felt so much happiness before.
They laughed all along the way until they reached the building where they work.
*****
He watched them from the window in his office. 'They seem to be so happy.'
'I never saw my brother with so much happiness and especially with Kagome. Kagome his best friend, The same Kagome who quarreled with Inu yasha and the same Inu yasha who angered Kagome to no end. And the one whom she loves...'
At this thought he felt another emotion build in him.
'I'm getting soft... So many emotions in one day' He thought while returning to his chair. He looked over his papers and thought nothing but his work.
"Sesshoumaru-sama!" a servant went barging in his office.
"What is it Jaken?" putting on his non-emotional face.
"Your father's business partners are coming within half an hour to discuss matters with you"
"I understand, You can go now."
"Yes master" Jaken said while walking away.
He went on with his papers but not long enough his thoughts went back to his best friend and his half brother.
*****
"No Inu yasha! That should be on the left side not on the right" she said while wiping off the sweat from her face. They were working since they arrived.
"Sorry..."
"It's alright"
'It's good to know that his back to his old self... just like before he met Kikyou'
They were working on a miniature project about the increasing of products and population around the city they were in.
"Hey Kagome it's lunch time..."
"Let's take a break for now." she stopped working and went on to wash her hands.
"You're right." He cleaned up the messes they made in the floor using a broom.
"Hey Inu yasha... I noticed that Kikyou's not here"
"She's visiting her parents in her country... she'll be gone for a while"
"Oh" she dried her hand with a towel and walked up to Inu yasha.
'I just hope that Kikyou's not going to come back for a long time'
Not long enough after Kagome walked up to him, he was done sweeping. He put the broom aside and walked with her to the door of their office.
They were a foot away to the door when it suddenly opened.
"Kagome-sama!" Miroku hugged Kagome with a feral grin in his face. Inu yasha was seconds away before exploding.
His hands were inches to her bottom when... *Whack*
"I told you before that you should stop hitting on Kagome-chan" Sango stated to Miroku.
"Thank you for doing that for me, Sango" Kagome said.
"I know you would kill him like last time"
"My dear Sango! I know you did that because you like me" Miroku said while getting up. But before he could fully get up, he was back down because Sango kicked him.
"Good for you"
"Well Kagome-chan, can we proceed to lunch?" Sango asked.
"Certainly"
"Feh! You people never change."
"Oh... Inu yasha, I'm sorry for not noticing you earlier. Why are you here and not with Kikyou?" Sango said while stepping on Miroku.
"Just want to hang out with you guys again" Inu yasha blushed. 'I never blush like this so often' He thought.
"He's cute when he blush you know" Sango whispered to Kagome.
"I know... come on, let's go" Kagome announced happily.
"Hey! Wait for me" Miroku was catching up with them while touching the bump on his head.
Kagome and Sango laughed and Inu yasha just grunted and murmured something about lechers being lechers forever.
