Chapter 2: Dreams come true at midnight

"Why the hell is my window open?"

Kagome stood up from her chair and went to the window. She looked around outside. All was still except for her heart pounding in her chest. she closed her eyes and shook her head. What am I worrying for? Kagome sat on the window sill and gazed at the stars and the wind began to blow. Her hair swirled around and the wind howled.

Kagome glanced back into her room. her eyes soon wonderes over to her clock. 12:00! It's midnight! Kagome stood from the window and tried to pull the window down shut. What the hell... Come on!

"Need some help with that?" Came a voice very close to her. Kagome's breathing bacme raspy and her heart quickened. Who is that? Is it... But before she could finish her thought, two large hands covered hers and shut the window with much ease. her breathing slowed as she saw the claws on each finger. she let out a slow breath and turned to face the man whop had almost literally scared her to death.

"What are you doing here so late, InuYasha?" Kagome asked.

"To see you of course. When are you coming back? We need to find more jewel shards. You've been gone for a few days now and we need to get goin'" InuYasha sounded a little impatient but Kagome sensed the worriness in his voice.

"I can come back in the morning..." kagome sighed at him and sat on her bed. "You know, there are more important things right now than jewel shards for me. Can't you just show a little more compassion!" Kagome felt her anger welling up inside and knew she needn't to take it out on her favorite hanyou.

"And just what the hell is you problem, wench!" He yelled back defensively. He could tell she was close to crying and didn't want to cause her to do so. He slowly moved a little closer to her and whispered in her hair, "You know I hate it when you cry." He carefully slipped his arms around her waist and hugged her to his body.

Kagome was a bit surprised by his act of kindness. She fell into his embrace and the tears went away. She felt her hands around his neck and nestled her head into his haori. His wamth comforted her. The sleepiness of night crept over her and she fell aslepp in his arms just like she often dreamed of doing.

InuYasha pulled her legs up in his arms and laid her on the bed. He curled up next to her and gently held her to his body. The sleeping girl moved into his chest and her breathing slowed to a rythym. InuYasha watched her chest moveup and down in a pattern and knew he would soon fall asleep as well.

Just like the girl in his arms, he, too, had dreamed of falling asleep with her close to his heart. he closed his eyes as his thoughts swam in his head about her.

"Hey, Kagome...Kagome... Wake up." Kagome felt someone's cheek against hers and heard whispering in her ear. Her brown eyes fluttered open and they adjusted to the light. The sun was slowly raising over the tree of ages and the air smelled of sweet honey suckle. She smiled as arms gripped her waist in comforting way as if to assure her they were there.

"You awake?" They said again. They pulled her tighter into them and she felt more and more at home, as if she belonged in their arms.

"Yeah, but I wish I could finish the dream I was having." Kagome slowly sat up and gazed into the golden eyes that were staring back at her a little worried.

"A dream? You gonna tell me?" InuYasha rolled his eyes.

"Yep, and you were in it." Kagome laid back down and stared at the cieling.

InuYasha propped his head up o his hand. "And what was I doing? Being an asshole?"

"Nope, actually we were right here." Kagome pulled his face into hers and kissed him. Her hands carressed his cheeks and her tounge explored his mouth. But InuYasha caught up with her real quick and pluged his tounge in her mouth.

"Hey, mornin' Ka...go..me..." Souta's voice trailed off as he watched the scene rolling out before his eyes.
