Disclaimer:: Ok so I don't own Inuyasha..does that make me a bad person, does my life not have value?! Sigh ....Don't answer that.

Dream Weaver

Chapter Three

The look in her eyes sent chills down her spine. Such fear, panic, and doubt Sango had never seen before in Kagome's eyes...not even in the fiercest of battles, and there had been many close calls. Her mind immediately went back and replayed the dream, and she could again recall the feeling of hands caressing her well-toned body. No matter how she tried, she just couldn't seem to get it out of her head with Kagome starring at her like that.

'I wonder if my eyes reflect hers,' she thought. 'Surely we could not be thinking about the same thing? ... no she probably just had a bad dream and the effects are carrying over. That has to be it, there is no way that we had the same dream, that is just.. ridiculous. It must be something else.'

Kagome still could not focus on anything else but the issue still playing in her mind. Her worry and panic had receded, but some thoughts of doubt still lingered on the edges of her conscious thoughts. She had retreated to a private place deep inside herself (well as deep as she could muster) and didn't even realize it when Sango's eyes fluttered open. Or when she partially sat up. She didn't even see that Sango was returning her stare, she was so far gone. She had no idea the very thoughts that were on her consciousness' edge were painted on her eyes and in her face in such a way that Sango could tell something was not right.

Just then, Inuyasha leaped down from the tree, landing with a soft thud, and slowly rose from his crouched position. Normally he would have commenced walking to Miroku and waking him up with a quick shake, but this time he had landed in between 'staring contest.' Instead of waking Miroku, he happened to look at Kagome to notice her, not only awake before him, but also starring into the recesses of space. He turned to see what she was looking at and saw Sango returning her gaze. Something was odd here. He sniffed the air, like the true dog demon he was, and after discerning there was no immediate danger he looked from girl to girl in utter confusion that soon melted into curiosity.

'How often have I found the girls, let alone anyone, up before me? Never. Even when there was danger, it took lots of effort to wake up Kagome. That stupid girl could sleep through anything. So why is she awake? Why is Sango starring at her like that? This.. is weird.'

"Oi, Kagome? What's going on here? Why are you two awake this early? Shouldn't you be getting that beauty rest you're always talking about... not like it helps any, but still."

Each girl looked away, each gifted with their own personal shade of crimson at being caught in a rather awkward moment with no explanation to give.

"Nevermind. I don't care. You're up, that's enough for me. now, all I gotta do is get up the monk and the kid and we can leave earlier than usual."

He started to saunter over to the monk, preparing to yell 'No beautiful lady, you don't want to bear this monk's heir, take me instead!' right by his ear, but before he got the chance...Kagome, snapped back to reality at his tone of concern, excited that he actually cared, now reeked with disappointment that quickly turned to anger at his previous statement, and bellowed "What do you mean YOU don't care?!" loud enough to not only wake the monk, but any sleeping youkai in the tri-county area...except for Shippo. She stood up completely from her sleeping bag and walked right up to Inuyasha, the quick contact making him cringe because he knew what was coming.

"Inuyasha, Sit boy! You're such a jerk!" she added after he slammed into the ground.

She walked away with her arms crossed forgetting all the morning's events except for how much of a jerk Inuyasha was and proceeded to help Miroku and Sango break camp.

Sango heard Inuyasha jump from the tree, but she wasn't really concerned with that now. What was the look on Kagome's face? Even though Inuyasha was now in front of both of them, she got lost in her own thoughts. It wasn't until she heard him speak that she even really registered he was talking to both of them. When Kagome decided she was the one that was going to 'handle' him and take charge of the situation, her thoughts again slipped to her feelings of ... well she wasn't sure what she was feeling. After looking at Kagome, those doubts did come back... but they didn't go away as easily as before.

While Kagome was 'sitting' Inuyasha, Sango turned to the rudely awoken monk and helped him break camp, putting supplies away, dousing the fire and gently rousing Shippo who, surprisingly, had slept through the entire ordeal.
