Summary: What lies within your heart is something strong as the emotion called Love. It is trust. "Do you trust me?" A ragged voice came behind as a single tear ran down a face and disappeared into the breeze of the cliff. (IK -- lime, romance, danger, drama, love, trust)
Disclaimer: I do not own anything of Inuyasha. However, the plot is mine.

Chapter 6 -- Concerns about the dreams
Hours went by before the sound of voices could be heard outside. With the movement of ears, one golden eye open to just look around at the view. It was a dimly orange color as the sun seemed to be setting. Inuyasha gave a light yawn before feeling a warm movement below. Glancing down, he started to remember what happen early that day. Kagome was still sound asleep. Her face was stained with tears and she still had a tight grip upon his haori.
Inuyasha gave a small smile before resting his head upon hers. However, as he was enjoying the silence and the warmth, loud voices could be heard aproaching the hut. With a swing of the grass door, Miroku appeared inside. "I see that you are awake." said Miroku when he noticed an angry hanyou.
"Will you shut up? You are going to wake her up." said Inuyasha in a rough whisper.
Miroku gave a shrug with his shoulder before turning and around and heading out the door. Inuyasha listened for the footprints to disappear, but only to be disappointed when another pair followed by voices followed. "Are they awake?" asked Sango.
"Inuyasha is, but Kagome is not. We will just need to save them some food." With that the sound of the footprints could be heard walking off. Inuyasha was hungry, but with Kagome asleep he would not dare wake her, leave her, or even move her.
Inuyasha gave another small smile as he looked down at the girl's face. The color of the sunset gave her face a light glow. He used a claw and removed a strand of hair that was laying against her face. As he watch her sleep, a strange feeling went over him. Again, it was the same. He knew cared for. For crying out loud, he knew he loved the girl.
Once again, desirer started to race through his body. As he looked down at her face. Inuyasha wish he could place a sweet, passionate kiss upon her pale, red lips. Her scent was starting to drive him crazy as he sat there holding her. His desirer, his feeling of wanting was strong. However, he held it under control.
He placed one of his clawed fingers against her cheek. As he trailed it, he noticed how soft her skin was. He continued to trace her cheek clear down to her lips. They were the same, smooth and soft.
The urge to place a kiss upon those lips was starting to get strong. Giving in, he started to lean down to place a small kiss upon them. It would be quick so Kagome would never know. Slowly, he came closer. As he was a short distance away, movement started to come. Inuyasha quickly moved away as he noticed Kagome's grip upon his haori loosen.
Kagome could feel warmth flowing through her as she stretched. Opening her eyes, she looked to see Inuyasha's calm face looking down at her. "I see that you are awake. How do you feel?" he asked.
Kagome sat away from him and started to stretch with the movements of her arms. "I feel fine."
He gave her a nod." I am glad. Now, if you are hungry, dinner is done." Kagome nodded her head letting him know that she was hungry, He placed his hands around her waist and lifted her off him. When she was standing, he stood up beside her.
Taking her hand, Inuyasha walked outside. The warmth of the evening sun could be felt against their cold faces as they walked out. Turning down a path, both Inuyasha and Kagome headed to the direction of Miroku and Sango.
Miroku and Sango were in a deep conversation as both came walking down the hill. Sango noticed them as she listen to Miroku. She gave them a smile when she noticed both hand in hand. Kagome's face went red as Inuyasha turned his face aay. In the whole process, both let go. Luckily for both, it was only Sango who notice and not Miroku.
Kagome and Inuyasha both walked around Sango and sat down. Kagome sat down near Sango while Inuyasha sat against the tree with his arms crossed within his haori. Miroku handed him a bowl of soup while Sango did the same for Kagome. Both ate in silent.
As Inuyasha ate, he kept glancing towards Kagome. Even with her seeming okay now, he knew the same toture, the same pain woudl return again sometime. He gave a deep sigh as he wish he knew away of helping her.
"What's wrong, Inuyasha?" asked Miroku when he noticed the sigh coming from his hanyou friend.
"Feh. Nothing's wrong." snapped Inuyasha at Miroku before turning towards Kagome. "Kagome, come with me. We need to talk."
Kagome looked up in shock. She noticed Inuyasha standing with his arms crossed. His face looked serious as if he was determined on doing something, but then she could that he was concerned. "Let her eat, Inuyasha." said Sango noticing that Kagome was shocked by this all, but still eating.
"No. If I have to drag her, I will. I need to talk with her now." He started to walk off as Kagome jumped at the sound of his voice.
Kagome followed Inuyasha deep within the forest. Silence seem to follow and he seemed to give no respond to why she was brought out. After a few more minutes of walking, Kagome sat donw on rock to rest, but mainly to find out the whole reason for this. "Inuyasha, what is this all about." She finally asked.
Inuyasha stopped by a tree and sat down against it. He called Kagome over which she came with caution. "Last night, I noticed you were in pain. It was your dream. I need you to tell me what all of them are about. If you don't, I might not find a way to help you stop them."
Kagome gave a hard swallow as she thought about telling him. The dreams were always on her mind when she was awake. When she was alone, she would cry feeling so scared and alone. Maybe by telling Inuyasha, she would not feel that way. Kagome gave him a nod and started with the first one that happen ending with the one that was last night. Inuyasha listen with caution, suprisement, concern, and fear. When Kagome was done, she was wailing in tears.
Inuyasha quickly brought her into an protective embrace. He tried soothering her and calming her. He now understood why she was always crying. She was afraid to lose him. In her dreams, he has failed on staying by her side. She was now afraid of that happening for real. Leaning her up, he removed his red haori. Wrapping her in it, he brought her closer to him. With these dreams, there was only one solution. Naraku was trying something. Either he just wanted to toture Kagome or he wanted her dead. Now Inuyasha's problem was to find out how to stop them.
