Never-Ending Cycle Crystal-Chan Ch. 6 ~*~*~*~

Kagome woke with a start. The raucous screaming bounced off the walls. Inuyasha woke up to locate the screams. Surprisingly, the source was not what he thought. Kagome was panting for breath. She was drenched in a cold sweat. All at once, she threw back the covers and ran to Saiai and Kaikatsu's small crib next to her. Inuyasha walked over to her. Kagome was touching Saiai and Kaikatsu. Their faces, necks, chests, hands, as if checking to make sure they were real. Inuyasha put his arm around her waist, which was starting to 'show'. Inuyasha kissed her.

"They're there. It's okay . . ."

Kagome let out a breath and relaxed. They went back to bed. Kagome fell asleep and had another dream.

~Kagome's dream sequence~

Kagome looked around. White and purple clouds surrounded her. Suddenly they parted. She could see Saiai, dead on the alter. Kagome held down the nausea. She saw Sesshomaru bring back Saiai. Then she heard a small voice.

'Thank you . . .' it said.

Saiai was suddenly in front of her and growing fast. Saiai looked about 16 when it stopped. Clothes appeared on her. It melted to fit her form, then materialized into a solid. They were miko's robes.

'My daughter's going to be a miko?' Kagome thought. She saw Saiai walk somewhere and pray. Suddenly, landscape appeared everywhere. All of it was blurry except Saiai and two gravestones. 'I wonder who she is praying for.' Kagome thought. She strained to get her bearings and read the graves, but a bright light woke her.

~End sequence~

Inuyasha nuzzled Kagome's ear and whined. Kagome opened her eyes and smiled. 'Poor little puppy . . .' she thought. It wasn't really true, but cute. She reached up and petted his head. He purred low. Kagome finally got up and checked the children. Saiai and Kaikatsu were fast asleep.

Kagome walked to the closet at the far end of the room and picked out a day kimono. She then walked out of the room to the hall, and then to the hot spring via the nearest window. It was a little ways into the forest surrounding Sesshomaru's castle. Kagome undressed and lowered herself into the steaming water.

"Ha . . . That feels good." Kagome said, soaking in all the warmth.

"You look very nice today."

Kagome jumped and looked around. Inuyasha stood at the edge of the hot spring. Kagome let out a sigh before splashing water at him.

"Inuyasha you scared me!" Inuyasha smirked, then undressed and entered the spring.

"You left your cleansing products. Here, I brought them. Shampoo and soap and that little scrubby thing." Inuyasha said, pulling out the said items. He proceeded to grab the sponge (A.k.a. the scrubby thing. I don't use a sponge, I use a scrubby thing, but I don't know what it's called.) and lather it. Then he began to scrub Kagome's back. " I awoke after you left. It is still a bit early. Did you have another nightmare?" Worry was evident in his voice. Kagome shook her head.

"More like a vision. You know, of the future." Kagome said, pondering. Inuyasha nodded solemnly. The silence was heavy with thought. Feeling the need to lift the tension, Inuyasha had an idea.

"Hey, I think I missed a spot right . . . HERE!" Inuyasha yelled and tickled Kagome. She yelped and laughed.

" Ahahah! No! Haha! *Gasp* No, please! Stop! HAHAHAHA!" Kagome yelled, stopping to gasp for breath. Soon, they were breathless in each other's arms. They smiled at each other and kissed.

Sesshomaru looked up to see Inuyasha and Kagome walk in the front door, soaked except their clothes. (They forgot towels) Both wore smiles and flashed him a 'V' sign as they walked through. Sesshomaru blinked and continued eating his meal of bread and stew. 'I've got to remember to thank Rin for the food, and possibly have a servant put in a waterproof doormat by the front door.' He thought, chewing his food.
