Chapter 11: Dream or not?

The fire was just about dead and the sun had finally made its way over the tips of the surrounding rocks. Kouga's head twitched as dew that had formed over night rolled down the wrinkles of his face. With a slow deep intake of breath he opened his heavy eyes and sat up. As if on queue memories of last nights dream flashed before his eyes.

First there was a flash of light then Kouga could see steam rising off of calm water. Another flash of light and he saw Kagome standing in the middle of the water wearing nothing but a smile on her face. Her eyes were seductive and calm and her body in a perfect pose that no man could resist. The light returned one more time followed by the final memory. Kouga saw Yashi and Kagome in the water, steam rising everywhere, they were against a rock and Yashi was fulfilling Kagome's every desire.

Kouga raised a heavy hand to his face and rubbed his eyes hard. 'Was it only a dream or was it more' Kouga thought to himself. Turing towards the fire that had finally turned into hot coals he looked down upon the sleeping form of Kagome. Quietly he reached out his hand to touch the tips of her hair. 'If it was more than a dream than surely her hair must still be a little damp' Kouga thought as he reached. He let the tips brush gently across his fingers. Slowly he breathed outward, "dry."

Out of nowhere a cold breeze over took the camp. Kouga hugged his bare skin as the wind became stronger. Looking back down at Kagome he saw her shake. 'I should get the fire going…' Kouga thought to himself as he got up.

"Where are you going," Yashi asked as he walked away.

"To get some fire wood," Kouga said.

Even though he was just about convinced that it was just a dream he felt awkward talking to Yashi when the memories of his dream kept flashing before his eyes.

"Right…I think I should go get us some breakfast," Yashi said.

Yashi watched Kouga disappear over the rocks before he decided to get up. Quietly he walked over to Kagome, who even over their talking was still asleep. Kneeling next to her he gently touched the side of her face and once more did the warm tingly feeling return to his bite mark. Standing up Yashi slowly backed away and walked out of the camp.

~~~~~~~ The water was cold but refreshing as it hit Yashi's ankles. Bending over to reach into the water Yashi glanced at his reflection in the semi- calm water. His once silver streaked hair was now back to its original color. Startled a little Yashi thought, 'maybe it's starting to were off a little.' Taking time to consider this thought Yashi looked at his hands, the claws still remained but they looked smaller and staring to resemble human nails.

~~~~~~~ Yashi returned to the camp carrying three rather large fish. Kouga had returned before him and a fire was already burning. Kagome sat propped up beside the fire rubbing her tiered eyes and yawning. Placing the fish down Yashi quickly glanced at Kagome who in return glanced back at him with a smile on her face then returned to what they were doing as if nothing happened. Kouga caught their quick glances at one another and Kagome's smile in the corner of his eye. 'Could they of…' Kouga's mind questioned.

"We should hurry up and get off this mountain. I believe it's about to snow," Kouga said sniffing the air.

"I think your right, the temperature has dropped dramatically since last night," Kagome said agreeing.

Kouga looked up at her, she was now starring at the fire without showing any since of looking at him. He had heard the nervousness in her voice when she had agreed with him. Glancing at Yashi Kouga noticed a difference in his appearance, 'his hair, its back to normal? But why when we're so close it Inuyasha's grave has it decided to turn back now?'

~~~~~~~ Kouga climbed over the top of the rocks caring his and Kagome's pack.

"It's ok, its safe to climb this way," Kouga screamed as Kagome and Yashi appeared from behind the rocks.

They stood there looking out into the horizon. A vast forest stood in the center of a mountainous enclosure known to no man and well kept from any civilization. The only break in the mountain walls was to let a lone river in to the valley. In the center stood a tree tall than the rest. Even from a distance they could see vines and birds inhabiting it.

"It's so beautiful," Kagome said in almost a gasp.

"That's where we have to go," Yashi said pointing to the tree in the center.

"All right," Kouga said, "but how are we going to get down."
