Chapter 4- Confusion….

Sweat dripped down his face, he breathed heavily, in and out, and in and out….holy shit what the hell was that dream all about? (Inuyasha).

He looked across the room where he saw Miroku sleeping… quietly snoring with his arms across his chest.

This is by far the scariest thing that has even happened to me…(Inuyasha).

He gagged at the thought of his disgusting dream….my dream…is it...is it telling me something…ha ha ha…no way…it was probably just a one time thing…since I'm missing Kagome so much it must be my brain giving a …weird….reaction…

Snug with his interpretation for his dream, Inuyasha turned over, away from Miroku and lied back down to sleep. Quickly falling into the slow breathing of his it…lost in another world of dreams.

Now fast asleep, Inuyasha got into another dream….

Kagome sat cross legged near a bonfire….leaning on Kouga. He was smiling happily as he slowly stroked her long, black hair. Kagome grinned at the unusually soft feel of his hands and snuggled in closer towards him.

"Inuyasha…I'm so glad that we could meet again…I know how long it has taken you to…settle…"

"Don't worry about it Kagome…we had our differences…we made it through...life goes on…"

"There's one thing I do notice in you…for sure…a big difference…" Kagome smiled and said.

"What is that?"

"Well…you've matured so much lately… I'm glad to see that things have worked out for you."

"Ya well…with my new sweet heart here, I have been able to learn how to grow up and look at life in a different perspective."

"Honestly, I never would have been able to guess that you would end up with this person of all people- you two have such a nice match…"

"Ya…I know…me and Inuyasha are the perfect couple…" said a figure walking through the dark undergrowth of the forest…you could tell that they had been eavesdropping on the conversation a little bit.

"Oh darling, we were just talking about you…come have a seat," Inuyasha said as he waved his hand towards the ground.

Inuyasha looked up at his partner, eyes half glazed in awe, love and admiration…leaning over he put an arm on his partners shoulder and sighed in satisfaction…

…."Inuyasha…I will always be there for you"

"Thanks, Miroku…"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Before he had time to get up and scream...someone had poked him sharply in the arm.

"Inuyasha…Inuyasha wake up! There's a demon in the village and its attacking all the villagers"

Shocked from his dream and from the sharp jab in his arm, Inuyasha woke up alarmed…his mind racing…again.

"…whhhaaattttt?" he groaned slowly.

"Get up!"

Inuyasha looked up…there stood Miroku…suddenly, out of now where…he blushed madly.

He didn't know why, and he didn't know where it came from, but Inuyasha noticed that he wasn't wearing his shirt…and blushed even more saying…

"Miroku! Don't look- I'm not wearing my shirt!" He quickly picked it up and put it on.

"What the hell? Are you ok Inuyasha…" Miroku squinted as he glared at Inuyasha with utter confusion on his face.

"Ya…"

"Ok…just checking...well get up anyways…we have to go!"

"Ya ok, lemme just get my tetsaiga…"

Miroku walked out of the hut to wait with Sango and Shippo. Slowly Inuyasha got up…confusion racing through his mind…first…he had TWO (not one, but TWO) weird dreams about him and Miroku…and then he had said the stupidest thing in front of Miroku- him not wearing a shirt- what the hell was he thinking! Something was definitely wrong. Still thinking hard, suddenly Miroku came through the door…"Inuyasha any time now…" he said impatiently tapping his foot.

"Oh…ya…right…sorry about that" Inuyasha said as he snapped out of his gaze. Though before he got out of the hut, Inuyasha picked up a mirror (which btw Kagome had brought into Kaedea's hut from her era…I know it isn't true but w/e: P) and quickly looked in it, stroking his long gray mane of hair along with it…

"Gosh…this hair…" he said as he placed the mirror down and rushed out to meet with Miroku, Sango and Shippo. Not realizing that he had just made a very…girly…statement.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There stood the demon…about 10 feet tall, large, vampire teeth sticking out and black drool dripping out of its bumpy lips. It had horns on its head and long, ugly claws that stretched out from his disgusting hands.

"Inuyasha…." it growled in the most putrid voice.

"What is it you filthy scumbag?"

"I..kill…yoooouu…"

"Not if I do it first!"

He dashed over to the monster, tetsaiga out and ready…"WIND SCAR!" he yelled as a bright yellow flash filled the sky. The monster flew into pieces, though unexpectedly; there was a huge explosion from right after he had hit the demon- the after effects of using his attack.

He turned over to Miroku, who was dead straight in the path of the it…

I have to save him! (Inuyasha).

He ran over…"Miroku!" he yelled as he as he quickly ran towards him, covering his whole body in a protective manner…his back facing the explosion. The strength of it had pushed both of down on the ground. Inuyasha on top of Miroku…

Heavily breathing Inuyasha looked down at Miroku…and all over Miroku's face was stuttering surprise and extreme confusion.

"Uhhh…Inuyasha…what are you doing…"
