~Dreams of the Heart~
The darkness was closing around me. The footsteps of my unknown pursuer were getting closer. But as I turned I only saw the choking dark. It was terribly cold; a sharp wind blew up from nowhere and pierced my skin like a thousand freezing needles. I tried screaming but it only came out as a strangled gasp. He was close to me now. I could feel his presence. I tripped on an unseen object and would have gone crashing into the ground if his cold fingers hadn't found my neck. There was no way out now. The grip tightened, it was getting harder to breathe. I turned to see who my attacker was. I couldn't see his whole body but it was his eyes that made my heart stop for a brief second. The bright golden eyes narrowed and glared murderously at me. "Inu Yasha?" I gasped. But that only made seemed to increase his anger. No this wasn't the cute lil dog demon I had recently met. This one was different . . . .
"Please stop!" I begged.
Darkness began taking over my senses. Finally it completely took me over. The last thing I saw was those cold golden eyes turn a deep blood red.

Alexial suddenly sat up. She shuddered as the images from her dream replayed in her mind. What did all that mean?
She had been accepted in Inu Yasha's group and went with them to help find the Shikon shards. They seemed very happy to have her along when they witnessed her skill against a centipede youkai that attacked the village. Alexial was very skilled with the sword. She became very experienced from all of the fighting she had done in her world. Her world . . . . It had been a few days since she had last thought of her world. Even though she had been gone merely a few weeks she felt like it has been years. It was time now for her to forget about her past and now concentrate on her future.
She had managed to come up with a simple excuse as to why she was laying in that forest alone and where she was from. Everyone seemed to believe her readily.
Alexial was a little surprised when she found out (even with everyone trying to hide it) about Kagomes time traveling. She found it amusing that Kagome was from her time. And Kagome was surprised at how well Alexial had taken the news, but that just helped them become closer. From the beginning they had clicked easily, friends from the start.
Alexial laid back down in her sleeping bag Kagome had brought from her time. These weird dreams she was having started coming to her every night. Every time this guy . . . . thing would come after her and try to kill her somehow. She didn't understand why she was having such dreams. Who was this strange guy anyway? Every time after she woke from the dreams a sense of danger settled on her. Alexial shook of the feeling and relaxed into a dreamless sleep.
The next few weeks were pretty uneventful except for a demon here and there trying to get a shikon shard. Inu Yasha was growing restless. He thought it to be unusual to be so quiet. Maybe Naraku (yes Alexial was told about Naraku and everything) was planning something? Just incase everyone tried not to get too comfortable.
The dreams Alexial was having were constantly changing now. At times she would see the strange figure trying to kill her heartlessly but at other times he was quite passionate with her. The thought of her recent dream made her blush a little. Yes it was all very confusing to her.
Late in the night everyone laid down to get some rest. Of course it was natural Alexial had another dream.

I was running again. He was always chasing me. My breath was coming in quick little gasps, as I grew tired. My pace must have slowed for I soon felt his fingers encircle my throat. But instead of their usual coldness they were warm and his grip wasn't so rough. He spun me around and much to my surprise drew me into a burning kiss. I tried to get out of his grasp but he held me firmly to him. Was he enjoying torturing me so much? Finally he ended the forceful kiss. This time I could see his face and body clearly. Usually it was too dark to see anything but his piercing eyes. I gasped at the site of him. It wasn't quite what I had imagined. His long silvery hair resembled Inu Yashas, but it was much more nicely kept. His face was beautiful, and I guessed by his ears and markings he was youkai after all. I watched as a smirk played at his lips. He seemed amused at how I was looking him over. But I still didn't understand why he resembled Inu Yasha. I didn't remember him ever mentioning any type of relation. Before I could react he had pulled me into another passionate kiss. But this time, instead of struggling, I gave into it. It was so warm . . . . So irresistible. I relaxed in his embrace and allowed him to slowly lay me on the bare floor . . . .
~* ~
Alexial pondered the dream from the night before. The image of the beautiful youkai kept running through her mind. She wanted to ask somebody about him but decided to keep it to herself.
A startled shout drew her from her thoughts. It was Kagome. Alexial looked around and noticed she had fallen behind everyone. Praying Kagome was all right; she raced to the direction of her voice.
"Sesshoumaru!" Inu Yasha yelled.
Alexial skidded to a stop and almost fell backwards in surprise. There standing in front of Inu Yasha and Kagome was the youkai from her dreams!
"What are you doing here?" She heard Inu Yasha growl.
"I thought by now you would know." Sesshoumaru coolly answered.
Miroku and Sango immediately ran up to Inu Yasha and prepared to fight. 'Obviously everyone knew him except me.' Alexial thought.
Kagome, with Shippo on her shoulders, ran up next to Alexial.
"Careful, that's Inu Yasha's older brother Sesshoumaru." She whispered to the dark haired angel. "He is a full blooded youkai and very powerful. He also has a grudge against Inu Yasha."
Alexial stared at Sesshoumaru calmly standing there, his face expressionless. She felt a little lightheaded; here was the man who was torturing her dreams at night. And he was Inu Yasha's brother! But why was she dreaming about him?
Sesshoumaru took a step toward his hanyou brother. 'This should be interesting.' He thought. He then noticed someone new in Inu Yasha's ever- present parade of humans. He looked her over and let a surprise look flash briefly in his eyes. It was the same wench who he had been dreaming about. Damnit why was she here? And who the hell was she to bewitch his dreams like that. He growled. He would kill her now and be free of the accursed dreams.
Alexial saw a brief spark in Sesshoumaru's eyes as he looked at her. Was it surprise? Did he know her? Taking a few steps forward she joined Inu Yasha by his side. This was going to be very interesting . . . .
________________________ Another short chapter! Sorry! I know everything is kinda weird right now and messy but I'm going to fix it all up real soon! And I'll be explaining about the dreams n'stuff soon too. Chapter 3 is coming! Maybe you could review and tell me what all of you think. Maybe give me some ideas on where to exactly go with this story. I sorta know where its going but I have all this stuff for the romance between Sesshy and Alexial, but I want some sort of real plot. If that makes sense. ^_^ Like some sort of action here and there. Ya anyways R&R! Oh ya! Thankies to the few reviews I've gotten so far! Luvies!
