Blarg... Sorry that I haven't posted in so long... I haven't been feeling well... But don't worry, it's only cause school's gotten a lot tougher. So I really appriciate all the reviews I've gotten, and I'm so glad you took the time to read the story, though I don't know what to make of some peoples spelling... Anyways, on with the story!
Disclaimer: Do I have to? Aww man... huffs Fine, I don't own Inuyasha or any of its characters, and I probably never will!
Warnings: If you've read the previous chapters and understood them, then you don't really need one this time. Just a bit of dream violence, to let you know.

/ Fire, why is there fire? The voices are angry. Are they angry at me? Why are they mad at me, I didn't do anything! They're talking to me, but I can't understand them. They look positively furious. They have weapons, and they're coming towards me! I turn and run for all I'm worth, yet they keep up. They throw rocks and knifes, one slashes open my shoulder. What's that ahead? More fire, more angry people, it's a trap! They circle me and beat me, why? I swear that I didn't do anything! Stop, stop it!
They finally leave, scared away by some unknown presence, which leaves me alone. I hobble to a stream to wash off. My reflection is not normal, it's demonic and frightening. I try to change it, but then realize that I have no control over myself. My body lifts my hands into view of thier own accord, they are drenched in blood, human by the smell. How? I have never killed a human. What happened, and why can't I remember? This can't be right, what's happening to me? I want it to stop, please stop/
Burst suddenly bolts up into a sitting postion with a gasp, then shudders and pulls the covers closer around her body. That was not just a dream, but a memory of hers which was very unpleasant. She takes one of the pillows into her lap and sobs into it, she hates that memory, and the fear it brings to her. She sobs and shutters for a few more minutes, then hears a soft knock at the door to the room she is in.
"Come in," she calls softly.
The door opens and Sesshomaru steps in, shutting it after him. He has a look of deep concern on his face, which gives Burst a hint as to why he's here. She motions for him to come closer. He stays near the door.
"Why are you here Lord Sesshomaru?"
"Why did you just use my title?"
"Huh? Did I? Never mind. Please answer the question."
"...I heard sounds from you, and was curious as to why you'd be sad."
"It's nothing, just a memory that surfaces from time to time. Don't worry about it."
Sesshomaru just stands there for a few moments, then walks over and sits beside Burst on the bed. When she gives no indication of wanting him to leave he scoots closer and puts an arm around her shoulder.
"But I do worry, and you can't keep me from worrying. Just let me stay until I think you're better."
"...Alright."
Burst relaxes and leans her head on Sesshomaru's shoulder, feeling better with his being there. He puts his chin on her head and softly strokes her arm. She slowly goes back asleep, unaware of the soft kindness showing through the usually stotic demons eyes. Once she is completly asleep, Sesshomaru gently lays her back down and replaces the covers on her body. He starts to stand, then discovers some of his cloths are in a death grip in one of her hands. He smiles and lays down beside her, not too close as to imply something devious (I'm seriously running out of words!), and slips off to sleep himself.
'''six hours later, after the sun has risen'''
Burst slowly awakes up, not really wanting to open her eyes. She stretches and her hand brushes against someting warm and living. Her eyes shoot open to see a sleeping Sesshomaru beside her, and the reason why becomes apparent when she tries to move away. Her right hand seems to be tangled in his clothing, though she didn't remember ever grabbing them in the first place. She carefully removes her hand and props herself up on one of her elbows, studying the other demons face. Once again her curiousity wins over her sanity, and she reaches out and gently brushes the bangs out of the way of the moon on his forehead before touching it, his skin is soft and cool. His eyes open immediatly after she touches the moon, his face relaxed and slightly amused. She blushes slightly and snatches her hand away from his face, more embarassed that she had been caught than anything else. He chuckles and sits up before looking Burst in the eyes with a smile on his face.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't of done that," she says while sitting up properly.
"It's alright. I was wondering when your curiousity would let you do that."
"You expected it?"
"Yes and no. I was still debating on wether you'd do it or not."
"Oh."
Sesshomaru laughs and pulls her into a hug, which she returns after a few short seconds. They stay like that for awhile before Sesshomaru pulls back a bit, feeling his cloths becoming damp.
"What's wrong? Did I say something?"
Burst looks up at him with a loving smile before answering.
"I'm so glad to have met you, even if it was death I was dealing with. You're such a wonderful person, and I'm so glad you're opening up to me and showing your feelings."
"How about I show a certain feeling to you now?"
"Very well."
Sesshomaru tilts her chin up and gently takes her into a soft kiss, she responds by adding some slight pressure, which makes him purr some. She giggles a bit before taking there progress up a notch, parting her lips and licking his slowly in attempt to encourage him. He moans softly and his own tongue starts to duel with hers. They part when a sudden explosion is heard near the front of the house. Sesshomaru looks at Burst apolojetically, only to find that she's grinning insainly.
"That bastard is in serious trouble, I call dibs if you don't know 'em."
He laughs and nods, then they take off together for the main hall.

That's all for now. I shall try to update more often. Oh, and I'm working on making a Yu-Yu-Hakusho (sorry, no spell check) story to show how I normally write. If it comes out right it will be my longest fic, I wasn't even close to done before it was erased off my computer... do you know how hard it is to remember nine and a half pages of size eight type? Never let your computer get a virus.
The first villan is coming next chapter. You won't have to worry though, I'm pretty good at battle scenes. I'll see ya's later!
