Chapter Two: Dreaming With Tears In My Eyes

I used to always fight them

Even though they never ceased

These dreams have taken over me

And now I'm hoping they'll never leave

She walked through the meadow of blooming wildflowers in her usual school girl uniform, a smile on her face that rivaled the sun's radiance. A white-haired figure stared at her from his perch in the huge tree, and as she approached him her love shone through her eyes.

They spoke to each other, although it was impossible to make out the words. She smiled at him, and he slowly took her into his arms. Her arms wrapped around his neck, her smile in place even as he lowered his head to kiss her.

It seemed as if they held each other for hour, standing the beautiful meadow. Her hands slowly started to run through his ivory hair, while his claws ran down her back. She giggled and whispered something in his ears, and with a smile of his own he picked her up.....

Kagome woke with a start from her dreams, a sheen layer of sweat covering her body. She slowly sat up, looking over at Inuyasha who lay sleeping on his bed, his breathing labored and rough.

Wrapping her arms around her knees, she faught back the tears that threatened to spill. She hadn't dreamed in so long, and when she finally did it was of the one person she couldn't have. Not because he turned her away, but because he couldn't speak, nor could he move without inflicting pain to himself.

She scolded herself for being so selfish. She lay here crying because she couldn't have him, yet he had remained strong even through he was unable to move. She lowered her face into her arms, letting the tremors of silent sobs shake her small body, unaware of a set of eyes watching her.

He couldn't do anything more then watch her. And even without his since of smell he knew that tears were running down her cheeks. She was crying. And he knew it was because of him. He damned himself over and over again in his head for his weak body, for he longed to only take her in his arms and ask her what was wrong.

But he couldn't, so he was left watching her cry until the early morning, where she slowly feel into a fitful sleep.

She sat by his bed again, just watching him sleep, holding his hand and telling stories. She told him of her childhood, of all Souta's little boy problems, and even when she first saw him pinned to the tree. And when she ran out of stories to tell, she retold their adventures, telling of the crow demon that had kidnapped her, of how the jewel was broken. She spoke of Kouga, which caused him to narrow his eyes and make a gruff noise in his throat, and she was glad just to see an emotion out of him, a sound. She told him about every one of their many battles and adventures, all but one. The defeat of Naraku, and the slow demise of Inuyasha.

Tears caught in her throat as she watched him fall into sleep again, the sun setting slowly in the west and allowing the blanket of darkness to cover the earth.

She was reluctant find her bed, wanting to watch him although her body demanded sleep. And as she layed in her bed, she wondered if she'd dream of him again.

It was a dark night, and the only sounds heard where breathy whispers and low growls. The smell of sweat was thick inside of it, and the moon shone through the small window on the two bodies on the blankets.

Her glossy dark hair was spread around her, in contrast to her milky white skin. His own hair shimmered silver in the moonlight, his lips kissing a line on her neck.

A soft moan filled the cabin, and the hut sizzled with passion and fierce love. And deeper into the night, the sounds of completion laced with total possession and love echoed through the hut.

Kagome again woke with a start, heart beating franticly as she felt drips of sweat on her body. It was impossible, but somehow she felt like she had actually lived the dream. Felt the passion, the love, the completion.

Her eyes cast worriedly to Inuyasha, who seemed to be still sleeping. She knew it'd be impossible to go to sleep now, and she moved to sit by Inuyasha's bed, her eyes glazed over as she went back into her dream.

She knew it was shameless, that she shouldn't welcome some a dream. But she did. And she wished with everyone fiber of her being that it would come true. As her eyes gazed upon her one love, she felt the pull of her dreams on her mind.

Oh, these dreams they've saved me

They hold onto my sanity

And every night as I lay

I dream of you and me
