Chapter 5: Nightmares

LAST TIME:

The game went on four a few hours until everyone fell asleep in the living room. Yukina and Kuwabara were cuddled up on the couch where the buffoon was drooling and snoring loudly. Koenma and Botan shared the love seat, their arms wrapped around one another affectionately. Kurama and Shizuru were leaning against a wall and Shizuru's head was leaning against Kurama's strong shoulder as she slept.

Yusuke and Keiko were leaning against the couch and Yusuke's arm was wrapped around Keiko's shoulders protectively. Hiei and Kagome were leaning against the other wall with Kagome sleeping on Hiei's lap and his arms wrapped around her, the demon sleeping as well.

Kagome's mother came downstairs to get a glass of water when she saw her daughter with her friends sleeping in the living room. She smiled fondly at her daughter's serene face as the small demon held her in his strong arms. With a playful grin, she whipped a camera out of no where and took a million pictures of all of them. *CLICK*

THIS TIME:

HIEI'S DREAM IN HIS POV:

I looked around, unable to decipher my surroundings. The area I was currently located in seemed to be complete nothingness. There was a thick layer of fog hanging in the air, making it difficult to breathe as well as grayness everywhere. I began walking, unknowing to which way was where. All I wanted to do was escape from this place and see my sweet Kagome once more.

Suddenly, the air became extremely chilled, the fog becoming more dense. I stopped in mid stride, preparing myself for the unknown object that seemed to be coming my way.

Unexpectedly, a deep, evil laughter echoed off of the nonexistent walls of this horrible place, causing me to shiver unwillingly. It stopped instantly and the hazy figure of a demonic man clouded my vision.

I could not see the obvious demon, but his malicious presence was undeniable. The hairs at the back of my neck stood on end as I awaited the demon's reasons for haunting me to become clear.

"What do you want?" I asked, pleading my wariness not to effect my almost shivering voice. The man just stood in front of me, tall and proud as if I had never spoken.

Wait! Had I ever spoken at all? Or was my feverous mind playing tricks on me? I did not know, and before I could make an effort to find out, the demon began to morph into something else. I was frightened at first, although unable to admit it out loud.

He shape-shifted into…two white birds. I knew those birds were not regular though, they were evil spirits. I was immediately confused. What did I do to upset this long-dead monster? Why was it, seemingly, after me?

My worries became worse as a picture of Kagome settled in my mind. Did it…want her? Almost drunkenly, I began to excuse this vision for a mere coincidence. Perhaps I just missed Kagome, or maybe I wanted to see her pretty face. No matter what the reason for seeing her truly was, I was unable to allow myself to believe that it was her who was the monster's target.

The two birds currently soaring around my head were ghostly looking with long, pale white feathers, and deep, dead black eyes that looked like pits of nothingness. They stared at me, chirping in high pitched squeaks that sounded like cries of pain and death.

Something was whispering in my ear as the frigid wind blew by.

Kagome, Kagome…it howled restlessly, pleading for me to hand her over. I closed my eyes, holding my head to stop the horrid cries from continuing in vain, only to fight myself completely hopeless.

Suddenly, the eerie birds morphed back into the tall demon, his features becoming clear as the fog began to disperse. The demon reminded me of pure evil with could eyes and a sinister smirk. I had never allowed the feeling over fear to take me over, but I knew the emotion rolled off me in waves.

Finally, the fog turned pitch black like I was floating in nothingness and the demon's features were perfectly comprehensible. He had long, wavy raven black hair to his waist that had blood red streaks in it. His optics flickered with a vicious tint and were a gleaming violet hue. His skin was ghostly pale as if he were long dead and his claws dripped with a thick crimson liquid, later identified as blood. As he smugly smirked at me, his fangs were noticeable and glittered in the never ending darkness.

He wore a kimono similar to the infamous Youko Kurama's, but was entirely black. His ears were pointy, another one of the numerous clues that gave away his demon heritage and he had a black tail, similar to a wolf's.

He came forward until he stood directly in front of me, slightly shorter than Youko Kurama, but still immensely intimidating. I strained not to take a step back and watched him carefully, wary for his next move.

"I want to know…" he began in a deep, ice cold voice. "If you know the one known as Kagome." I stared at him, a glare taking over my features. With a quick nod, I awaited for him to continue. He shrugged and drawled on, clearly enjoying hearing himself speak. "I warn you, she is not the angel she seems." His face became furious and his fists folded at his sides. "She killed me herself. Her own father."

Hiei's eyes widened exceptionally. This demon couldn't be Kagome's father! For one, Kagome would be a half demon, but she was born a human; only becoming a demon because of her wish on the Shikon no Tama. Also, this man looked purely evil. He sensed nothing but negative energy circling him.

"You lie," the small fire/ice apparition replied, his eyes glinting with unbelieving ness. The demon in front of him growled low in his throat, slashing at him out of the blue. Hiei was able to dodge the attack, but was scraped on the arm by his sharp, powerful claws. Blood oozed out of the wound in his arm, but he paid no heed.

"I do not lie!!!!" the unknown demon replied savagely, his hands enclosed in tight fists. "Her powers were hidden by her mother so she would not kill, but as we speak, they are resurfacing because I have returned. She will become a devil once again!"

Hiei's mouth hung ajar, the world suddenly spinning around him. "This can't be…" he mumbled, looking down with wide eyes. "Kagome's an angel, not this devil you speak of…" The unknown demon just smirked arrogantly, shrugging his admonishes off.

"So you say," he replied. "I know her well. Better than you. Once I get my hands on her, no one will be able to stop me from transforming her into the monster she was born as. You will see for yourselves. I will be back, Hiei…" The demon, also known as Kagome's father, disappeared into thin air, a gust of cold wind rushing at Hiei.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

END OF DREAM, AUTHOR'S POV:

Hiei's eyes snapped open and he looked around frantically, his body covered in cold sweat. Looking down, he saw an angel in his arms, purring softly as she slept peacefully. "Kagome…" he murmured, hugging her close and causing her to awake. 'I won't let her go,' Hiei thought, 'Never.'

Kagome stirred slightly and her eyes fluttered open, revealing amazing golden eyes. "Hiei???" she murmured in a light whisper, looking up at him in confusion. The demon blushed at their close contact, but as Kagome tried to sit up, he pulled her closer and growled low in his throat.

"Eep!" Kagome squeaked quietly, her head landing on Hiei's strong chest. "W-what are you doing?" Hiei just put his chin on her head, breathing in her beautiful scent that now changed because of her dog demon state.

Kagome tried to pull away (although she couldn't help but enjoy the compromising position), but Hiei held onto her tighter, causing her arms to press to her sides, making it unable for her to pull away.

She sighed in a defeated tone and looked up, blushing as she and Hiei's noses practically touched. "Um…" she murmured, looking down cutely in embarrassment. Hiei was in his own little world, staring at her plump, kissable, red lips. 'What would they taste like?' he found himself thinking.

((An- If you were wondering, the rest of the gang went out food shopping with Kagome's family, deciding to leave the two 'lovebirds' alone. Hehehe…I know, stupid idea, but I needed them alone and didn't know where to put everyone else…^_^*))

Hiei gave into his temptations and flipped them over into an even more compromising position. On of his hands held Kagome wrists, pinning her arms over her head. The other one held her chin so she couldn't look away and they were staring into each other's eyes. He was sitting on top of Kagome's legs, his face hovering right above hers so that they were nearly kissing. The two of them looked flushed, but leaned in anyways.

Their lips met in a heated, passionate kiss where they let out all of their feelings for one another. Kagome sighed happily as Hiei slipped his tongue into her mouth, tasting every part of her he could. He let go of her wrists and she slid her arms around his neck, bringing them closer together. With his free hand, he roamed her body, smirking inwardly as she moaned in pleasure.

They pulled away for air with flushed faces and Hiei got off of her, helping her up. "Kagome I--" Hiei started, but was cut off by a huge explosion. The walls of the living room caved in and Hiei picked Kagome up bridal style, leaping out of the way just in time. Kagome sighed in relief and watched as a demon showed itself once the smoke cleared away.

Hiei and Kagome both gasped at the sight. There was no demon at all! Kagome giggled slightly and sighed in relief. There was absolutely nothing to be afraid of. 'We'll be fine!' she thought cheerfully. 'It's only two little white birds!'
