Chapter 5: Dream Sequence

Even when Kaede had left, there was still a strong silence between the two. Finally someone spoke up.

"Sango..." Miroku began, but was cut off of his words.

"How's your hand?" Sango suddenly took a hold of his right hand, flipping it over so his palm was face up. She gently trailed her fingers lightly across where the wind tunnel was. There was a scar of a perfect circle in the middle of his palm.

"You're so gentle... with words... with touches..." Miroku trailed off. He lifted his free hand up to her cheek, stroking it lightly.

"Miroku..." Sango began. "About our auras..."

"Our auras? What do you mean? What was the color of your aura?" Miroku questioned. Sango blushed a bit and turned her head away from his, releasing his hand. Before she could get away from him, he grabbed her arm lightly, but still hard enough as to so she could not run away from him. "Sango, what was the color of your aura?" He repeated.

"Let go of me Miroku!" Sango whined. "I just... I just..." Out of frustration, Sango began to cry, tears rolling down her flushed cheeks.

"You just what?" Miroku asked, almost in a whisper.

"Let go!" She wailed. Miroku wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her to him. Their hands were both palms together, their fingers enlaced with each other's.

"Not until you tell me what color your aura is." He whispered in her ear. She wept onto his shoulder and finally looked into his eyes. Their faces were only inches apart.

"What do you think the color is?" Sango said, sucking in a large amount of air from all of her crying.

"I don't know..." Miroku said, closing his eyes and leaning forward. Sango closed her eyes and leaned towards him as well. Their lips met gently.

Sango wrapped her free arm up around his neck and caressed his hair. Miroku trailed his fingers down her spine, sending her chills. Finally, they released their kiss.

"Miroku..." Sango began. Before she had a chance to finish, he pulled her into his chest and kissed her passionately.

Inuyasha had been asleep. His dreams were filled with longing and unexpected feelings.

Inuyasha was sitting on a branch of a tall tree. It was night. The moon was not present. He was human.

Kagome suddenly walked over to the trunk of the tree. Inuyasha saw her and jumped down to greet her. Kagome walked up to him but was hesitant.

The sun crept over the horizon. Inuyasha then turned into his regular half demon self. He began to walk up to her but then stopped abruptly when he saw a look of sheer horror upon her face.

Kagome backed away from him and began to run. Inuyasha followed swiftly calling out her name several times.

He finally caught up with her and took a hold of her arm. Suddenly, he became a full demon. He yelped out in a howl almost.

Kagome screamed, terrified. She fell to the ground and collapsed. She became unconscious.

Inuyasha immediately opened his eyes and quickly sat up. He directed his gaze toward Kagome, still unconscious. He sighed in relief.

'At least she looks somewhat peaceful.' He thought. 'I wonder if she's dreaming about me.'

Kagome was sitting by herself in a dark forest. The god tree was in front of her. Inuyasha suddenly walked up behind her. She turned around to face him.

"Oh, Inuyasha..." She sighed and wrapped her arms around his neck. The embraced in a tight hug and Inuyasha kissed her lips gently.

They released, deeply looking in each other's eyes. Inuyasha suddenly disappeared, leaving her all alone.

She nervously searched her surroundings. A flash of lightning and a clap of thunder were heard above of her. It began to pour rain. She was now soaked.

Kagome began to cry, when a full demon Inuyasha pounced on top of her, plunging his claws into her stomach. Kagome screamed.

"AHHHHHHHHHH!" Kagome shot up in her sleeping bag and awoke the whole hut. Inuyasha was already by her side. The other's tiredly crept out of their sleeping bags toward her. Kaede walked out of the back room to find them huddled around her.

"Kagome? Kagome are you alright?" Inuyasha asked her, gently placing his hand on her shoulder.

Kagome opened her eyes to find a handsome, silver haired, hanyou in front of her. She gasped and flung her self back into the wall.

"Kagome?" Inuyasha lifted a hand to her face. Kagome quickly slapped it away and glared at him, crying.

"Keep away from me!" She yelled at him.
