Dangerous Desire
Chapter Four: Dreaming Again

~ ~ ~ ~ ~
As soon as Inuyasha and Miroku returned to Kaede's hut, they handed the strange
flowers to Kaede who immediately started crushing and mixing them with other herbs and
powders. A light green liquid resulted from her efforts. When Kaede finished mixing, she made
her way over to where Kagome lie and brought the bowl to her lips.
Drink think, child," she said quietly in an attempt to stir Kagome from her poisoned
slumber. Kagome groaned in her sleep. Then her eyes opened and she groggily obeyed Kaede's
demand. After drinking the concoction, Kagome snuggled deeper into her pillow and fell back
to sleep. "We will be able to tell if the potion was successful in a short while."
So, for a while all the gang did was sit around and wait. Slowly, the bleeding stopped and
the cuts began to scab over.
"Thank the gods..." Sango said with an exhausted but sincere smile on her face as
Kagome yet again opened her eyes. She lifted herself up to where she was supported on her
elbows and began go rub her head.
"What happened?" Kagome asked with a groan. All together, the others began telling
Kagome all that had happened since she had been taken.
"Ye will need some time to recover thy strength," Kaede informed her after they had
finished. The others nodded in agreement.
"You must be starving," Sango said suddenly.
"I guess I am," Kagome said as if only just realizing that her stomach was growling
loudly. Sango busied herself with some instant ramen from Kagome's pack and then gave her
the first bowl of it before giving the others any.
Shippo curled up next to Kagome's uninjured side and began to eat his ramen. By
looking at him now, you would never be able to tell that he had been crying and worrying about
Kagome, he looked completely content before he drifted off to sleep, the now empty bowl
falling to the floor. Kagome followed suit and drifted into a restless but certainty not dreamless
sleep.

Kagome was sitting in a grassy field, farther down was a flowered clearing. She couldn't
help but be entranced by the beauty of the flowers. That's when she realized that she wasn't
seeing things from her own eyes but instead watching herself from above. She saw her mouth
move but no sound was coming from her. It was as though the sound in her mind had been
turned off, as though the world had been muted.
She saw Inuyasha out of the corner of her eye. She smiled to herself. Suddenly, demons
were everywhere. Three forced Inuyasha back as Barendu appeared in front of Kagome, his
mouth moved. Kagome wanted to know what he was saying. When she responded, she looked
angry.
Inuyasha struggled with the demons restraining him. The Kagome below suddenly
seemed scared and she began to back away. There was a flash of light and Barendu, Kagome,
and all of the other demons were gone. Inuyasha was injured and bleeding.
"Kagome!" he screamed as though someone had suddenly turned the volume up as high
as they could. Tears fell from his golden eyes as the image faded away.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome called out as she stirred from her sleep. She sat up quickly but layed
back down as pain shot through her side and her shoulder.
"Don't move like that," she heard a female voice say from beside her, "You'll reopen
your wounds." She shook her head in an attempt to fully wake herself and then looked over to
realize it had been Sango who had been talking to her. Kagome rubbed her temples and layed
her head back on her pillow.
"Why does my head hurt so bad?" Kagome asked quietly.
"Lady Kaede said that there would be side effects to her healing potion. Unfortunately,
you will have that headache for a few days," Sango replied in an apologetic tone, "We will be
staying here until you heal completely." Kagome nodded her head, she was thankful for
everyone's understanding. She couldn't imagine searching for the jewel shards with such a
terrible headache.
"Sango?" Kagome called to her friend, eyes closed.
"Yes, Kagome-chan?" she responded as she threw together some medicinal herbs into a
bowl.
"In a little while would you help me to the hot spring?" she felt extremely dirty and
thought the warm water would ease the pain she was feeling.
"Of course, but for now I need you to drink this," she said as she handed the bowl to
Kagome, "Kaede says it will help you to heal." Kagome did as she was told and brought the
bowl to her lips. She almost spit the concoction up as it slid across her tongue. It was indeed a
foul mixture, the texture was like sandpaper and it tasted like old cabbage mixed with mud.
Despite it having an extremely unpleasant taste, Kagome drank it all. If it would make her feel
better she was willing to drink or eat almost anything.
When she had finished, she handed the bowl back to Sango and stood up.
"Can we go now?" Kagome asked, leaning slightly on the wall.
"Don't you want to eat first?" Sango replied as she picked up Kilala who had been
resting near Kagome's side.
"I'll eat when we come back," she replied veritably, "I couldn't possibly eat anything
while I still have this taste in my mouth."
"Oh, right," Sango said with a smile, "Does it taste as bad as it looks?"
"Worse," Kagome said with a disgusted look on her face which sent Sango into a fit of
laughter. Kagome soon joined in.
"Come on!" Sango said cheerfully as she grabbed some extra clothes to change into later
led Kagome to the hot spring.
After they made their way to their destination, they stripped off their clothes and climbed
in. Kagome had a small difficulty since her chest and shoulder hurt when she bent down.
"So, did you guys kill this Barendu guy?" Kagome asked as she grabbed some body wash
from her time and relaxed in the warmth of the water.
"I don't believe so..." Sango replied uneasily, "he was sucked into the ground after he
was injured by Inuyasha." She didn't mention the last thing he had said before disappearing...
'she will be mine... forever' Sango was suddenly snapped from her thoughts.
"Why do you ask anyway?" she asked curiously.
"No reason, I was just wondering what happened." She didn't feel like going into the
details of her dream. After all, that was all it was... a dream, created by her overactive
imagination and probably some side effect of the potion Kaede had given her. Sango stared at
her suspiciously for a while before shrugging it off and finishing her bath. Kagome pulled
herself out of the water and dried off before putting her extra uniform on and sitting down to
wait for Sango. Soon after, Sango followed suit and Kagome was left to think about the details
of her dream as they walked in silence back to the village.

So what do you all think? I'm sorry this chapter is so short, longer than some of my other ones so just be happy. Please review, I really like to hear what the reader's think of my writings.
