Disclaimer: I don't own InuYasha. If I did, Kagome would be burning in the fiery pits of the seven hells and InuYasha and Sango would be together. So there.

The nightmare.

It never stops, even when i'm not asleep. I see you looking at her with such love in your eyes that it just makes me want to cry.

In my nightmare, I see you holding her in your warm muscular arms. I see you kissing her with those perfect lips of yours. Everytime my heart breaks, and everytime, it hurts worse.

In the waking hours, I see you protecting her with such selflessness while i'm left to fend for myself. It just doesn't seem fair.

In my nightmare, I see your clawed hands roaming over her body with such grace and gentleness that my own body aches in vain for your touch.

In the waking hours, I see you pining for her when she isn't near you. Oh, how I wish I could be the one you wait for with such loyalty.

In my nightmare, I see you and her laying in each other's arms, basking in each other's warmth and love. A part of me dies everytime until eventually, there's nothing left.

In the waking hours, I see the look of longing in yours and her's eyes, the longing to finally confess your love and be in each other's loving arms for eternity, while mine is ignored.

My nightmare and my reality. Two very different things and yet, i've lost the ability to distinguish between them.

Super short yes, but sometimes good work is short. At least I hope this is good work. I just got this idea out of the blue and wrote it down. I like it, I hope you do too. You can probably guess who Sango is talking about in this story.

Please review so I can know if you like it or not. Thanks.
