Chapter Two: I Must Be Dreaming
Inuyasha lazily started to open his eyes upon feeling some sort of warmth on his face. There was someone there, he could sense it, but it couldn't be... Kikyo? Yes, he was quite sure of it before his eyes fully opened - he would know that scent anywhere.
'But why would she be here? And why, with all of the animosity and hatred between us, is she kissing my neck?'
His eyes were open now, and he looked down into a pair of dark brown eyes, still quite full of live. When he tried to push her off, he found that his hands had been bound together behind his head.
"Kikyo, what sort of torture is this... and what have you done with the others?"
She stopped kissing him and gazed into his amber eyes with a puzzled look on her face.
"What others? I saw you sleeping alone up here in your tree and thought that I might come up to join you. What's wrong, Inuyasha?"
Inuyasha stopped to think about what Kikyo had just told him. Perhaps it had all been one long and elaborate dream. He felt certain that it couldn't have been, but as he looked around he found himself bound in not just any tree, but his favorite tree. A glint of panic in his eyes, he dared looking back at Kikyo. There was certainly life in her eyes, along with so much more. He could sense the arousal in her that it seemed he hadn't sensed in ages.
Starting out rather apprehensively, Inuyasha began to divulge his dream to his lover. He spoke of her shooting him with the arrow, her death soon after, how fifty years later her reincarnation had revived him, the saga of the Shikon Jewel and friends he made along the way... though he didn't dare reveal his feelings for Kagome. That would have been unbearable. When it came to say what became of her, he tried so hard to tell her gently.
"You were reincarnated, the darker part of your soul being all that remained with you. In this form, you wanted nothing but my blood - and I don't mean that you wanted me as your mate. That's why when I woke up, I asked what torture this is... after all that time and all that had happened, I still loved you. For you to do this to me would have tortured my heart."
Kikyo wrapped her arms around him, laying her head on his chest. He could tell that she didn't know what to say, at least not at first.
"I noticed that you HAD been sleeping for quite some time. That's why I came here to you. I thought that something might be troubling you, and wanted to make you feel better if I could. You DO want me to make you feel better anyway, right?"
With this, she again started kissing his neck, making her way down his collarbone slowly and painstakingly. As she got further down his chest, Inuyasha felt himself becoming more and more aroused. He wanted nothing more than to take her into his arms and claim her as his once again, after what felt like forever to him.
"Kikyo, why don't you let me free so we can go someplace with a bit more room."
It was true, there was very little room up on Inuyasha's branch. If much more were to happen, they would fall for sure. He didn't want his beloved to sustain injury in the throwes of their passion.
"I know just the place. I'll set you free... only if I can re-bound you once we get there," Kikyo said with a devilish grin.
"Deal," he responded. By now, he needed this more than he thought he would. She set him free, and led him to a rather familiar place.

Kagome awoke suddenly, looking at her surroundings and taking them in. She had dreamt of Inuyasha again and didn't much feel like telling anyone why she was up. Sango stirred as Kirara accidently moved her tail into her face, but she didn't wake. Miroku was actually curled up by the (now dead) fire, as if he were freezing.
"Hm. You'd think his dreams would be enough to keep him rather warm, the lech."
At her side, Shippo was curled up and shivering. Kagome took the little ball of fur and gently placed him inside her sleeping bag.
"Not like you'll do anything to me like Miroku would."
She stole a glance up the tree, seeing Inuyasha peacefully sleeping. His silvery hair shone bright from the light of the moon, on his face was almost a look of pure innocence. His robes were illuminated and almost appeared to actually be fire, though Kagome knew better than that. And the necklace - with that damnable spell - caught glints of light, reminding Kagome of how often she "sits" the hanyou.
"I wish there were some other way, but sometimes he just won't listen. I feel so bad though... I hate being the one to hurt him. I care about him so much, despite when he acts like a jerk. He really is loyal and protective..."
She rather suddenly found herself standing at the foot of the tree, wondering how she got there. She heard him stir above her and dodged out of sight.
Inuyasha silently whispered "Kikyo..." in his slumber, rousing different feelings in Kagome as she bore witness to his plea.
"There's no way he could ever care for me... not like that... not while he still remembers her."
Heartbroken, Kagome slunk back to her sleeping bag and crawled in with Shippo, unwillingly falling asleep again. One last thought crept through her mind as she silently wept herself to sleep:
'At least one guy loves me unconditionally and won't try anything fresh with me like Miroku would. This little kitsune is more loving than Inuyasha could ever be towards me...'
(^_^) (^_^) (^_^) (^_^) (^_^) (^_^)
as a buffer for kikyo's actions in this story, it's meant for her to be out of character. inuyasha's dreaming, which means that it doesn't have to be in line with the story. I had someone read this as a test and they pointed out that she was OOC, so I thought I might say that as a disclaimer for myself.
