I do not own Inuyasha or its characters...but we all knew that already didn't we? Okay all...I am certain that most of you will find Kagome and Inuyasha out of character and while I have generally tried to keep them as in character as possible throughout all of my other fics...I wanted to just write this...just to see where it goes...and we'll see if you all think that it still has potential as a full story or if I should just leave it as a twoshot...but If you all want it to continue I wonder if I should change the summary...if so...I'd love some help with it as I suck at summaries...Please let me know what you all think as I wouldn't want to take time away from my other works if this story doesn't keep you all interested/

Three Day ch 2

Kagome woke, her nightmare still vivid in her mind, the tears still fresh upon her cheeks. Things had drastically changed since that night one year ago...she and Inuyasha had become the best of friends, even now sharing the lower level of his apartment complex, and she had once again found her friends Sango and Miroku..god, she had been so lost in her marriage that she had almost walked away from those she'd been close to before she'd gotten married...but that was all in the past and though the dreams seemed to persist, she had found that she'd made a wonderful new life for herself, surrounded by wonderful new friends...and speaking of friends...she'd give it...5...4...3...2...

" Kagome? Kagome...can I come in?" Inuyasha's voice drifted through the door of her apartment...This had happened half a dozen times at least...she'd wake up scared and alone from one of the numerous dreams that seemed to plague her, and every time Inuyasha had come to her...the first time had of course been quiet comical now that she looked back on it...She'd woke much the same as tonight. It had only been six months since that horrible night and she woke up crying, the memories still so real. He'd knocked on her door...waited patiently...well as patiently as he could anyway and in the span of all of ten seconds hebusted the door off its hinges to find her wide eyed and stunned with the blankets pulled up to her chin as she lay there upon the couch in her living room. He stood there...not quiet sure whether to go and comfort her first then fix the door...or fix the door first and then go to comfort her and in the end he'd resolved to simply prop the door against the open frame before timidly edging toward her, his ears pinned back against his head, his wide golden eyes skirting from one end of the room to the other as he sniffed his way through her apartment to assure himself that she was indeed safe from some invading moron who'd had no clue as to just what wench's home they'd just tried to invade. But finding no one in the vicinity except said wench, he looked at the floor as he scooted his clawed toe across the newly waxed wooden floor of her entryway completely unsure of what is was that he should do now that he'd effectively removed her door from its hinges...he'd sniffed around her house like he was the complex guard dog and then tried in vein to buff out the scratches from the floor that his clawed toe had just left...and in that moment Kagome knew that she'd always be safe...always have this one half demon to guard her against not only the outside world, but also the dreams that seemed to haunt her...and here again he stood...only this time he used the key that she'd made sure to leave him with and slowly he'd made his way into her room, his step light as he drifted over the now carpeted floor to sit at the edge of the couch before reaching out tenderly to wipe the tears from her face before he pulled her close, her head resting against his chest as she listened to the steady rhythm of his heart beat. Things had changed so drastically in this last year...she was safe...she had friends who remained at her side...and she had this man...this half demon who had seen her at her worst...seen her broken and bloody, and who had even then patched her up, sat with her throughout her hospital stay and offered her a room at the apartment complex that he'd owed. His room was just across the hall, Sango and Miroku just next door to him...and together this bunch occupied the bottom floor of this complex...

Slowly she slept, her body relaxing against his until her breathing evened out and the scent of fear left her...and still he stayed as he would till morning...he reached to pull the blankets over their bodies laying back until his head lay cradled within the softness of her pillow, her head cradled upon his chest...and there they slept...he kept the dreams at bay, and she gave him the complete acceptance that he'd only ever found in her...Who knew that one year ...one year ago he'd found the one soul that completed his...and he'd never let her go...he'd wait until she was ready to let go completely of the past that haunted her and grab onto the future that he held for her...with him...

Okay all, I know that this is short and I know that I could have done a lot better with it...but time is short and this is the second chapter I ve written tonight..the other for another story of mine...but I'm not sure yet whether this story should continue though there are those who reviewed who think that it should...and if this chapter in any way disappoints you...Im deeply sorry as perhaps I should have waited and reread this before posting...but I wanted to post a chapter for it that wasn't so ...you know what I mean...and I think that I could leave this like this if so decided or continue with it to make the the romantic fics that I seem to gravitate toward...I simply don't know what to do for this fic...so Im leaving it up to you, the readers, for if it doesn't interest or hold your interest than perhaps I should move on to something else...Anyay..thanks to those who did review as it is you that inspired me to try another chapter on this fic...until next time...Neisha
