Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha

It's been a long while and yet here is another chapter:

Kagome found herself staring at the beautiful kimonos that were lined up across the road. From her bedroom at the inn, she could see the rich women examining the fine silken robes and she wished for once that she could have something that nice. Inuyasha had gone out for a while to stock up on provisions for their journey and he had said he would be returning shortly. In the meantime, Kagome could only wait until her friend returned.

"Kagome I'm back" shouted Inuyasha as he slid open the fusama.

"What did you buy Inuyasha?"

"Let's see…some salted meat, some fresh vegetables, some fruit, and this silk kimono that I thought would look good on you"

"Wow you sure thought of everyth-WHAT! You actually bought me a new silk kimono!" Kagome squealed in delight. Being the daughter of an asshole meant you didn't get many new possessions and this kimono was something that she would truly cherish for the rest of her life.

"Keh your old one was looking…old" Inuyasha said as he blushed from the multiple bear hugs he was receiving.

'He looks cute when he blushes' Kagome thought to herself.

"You'd better get some sleep Kagome. It's a long trip tomorrow"

"One problem…there's only one bed"

"Keh why do I always get the floor!"

"You could sleep with me tonight if you want to"

"Well I guess just this once if it's alright with you"

"Of course Inuyasha, you bought me the kimono!"

"Keh! Is that all I'm good for?"

"Nope! You make me dinner too!" giggled Kagome as she slipped under the covers in her brand new silk Kimono.

Inuyasha sighed as he settled down on the bed. Watching Kagome sleep was almost enlightening and he felt calm and relaxed as opposed to the constant guard he kept up when he was alone. He didn't really know how to explain what it was he was feeling for this girl but he knew that it went deep. If she couldn't return his feelings, he didn't know if he could continue living. Such melancholy thoughts followed him into his sleep as he drifted off.

When he opened his eyes, he saw Kagome still sleeping in the same position. Gently, he poked her to wake her up. Seeing that there was no response, he poked her harder. However, as he pulled his finger back, he could see blood on his finger…her blood. Scared that he had hurt her, he pulled back and that's when he noticed the blood soaked sheets.

"Kagome!" he screamed

"Kagome answer me please!"

"Don't leave me Kagome don't leave!"

Suddenly, his eyes jolted open and he stared out in panic. Kagome was straddling him holding his arms with a worried expression.

"It's ok Inuyasha I won't leave you" she whispered

She had no time to react when all of a sudden she was pulled forward into a powerful embrace. She could feel his heart racing and she could only marvel at what could cause him to panic like so.

"I-I thought I lost you Kagome" he rasped

"It's all over now Inuyasha. It was just a bad dream"

Breathing slowly, Inuyasha sank back into the bed and closed his eyes once again. However, Kagome continued to worry about the cause of Inuyasha's nightmare. Slowly, she sank back under the covers but this time, she wrapped Inuyasha's arm around her waist and she curled up into his chest. Immediately, she could feel his racing heart beat slow down to a steady rhythm. Satisfied, she closed her eyes and drifted off into sleep.

"I had the strangest dream last night Inuyasha"

"Really? I had one too"

Unsure as to whether he was aware of his nightmare, Kagome decided not to press the topic.

"I dreamt I was with my mother and my brother. And then you showed up and it was as if we were one big family"

"Did your mother and brother have dark black hair?"

"Yea they did"

"And did your brother climb up on my shoulders?"

"Yea how did you know?"

"I had the same dream Kagome…"
