Summary:
He was dreaming of her, not her.
Pieces of Lilac
Inuyasha sighed and opened his eyes slowly. He sniffed, smelling lavender and a touch of lilac on the wind. The smell encased his body into a warm, motherly embrace, and he began to give into his waning energy.
When he woke up, there was a woman's playful laughter on the tips of his ears, dying away as reality set in.
He remembered her. He smiled, thankful that her memory still filtered into his dreams.
He missed her.
"Dreaming of Kikyou again?" Kagome sniffed as she sat down quietly next to him. Her voice was somber, but her tone was sparked with irritation.
'Damn, why can't she let that go?' he snorted inwardly, and he groaned as his jealous companion ruined his peaceful moment. So, he told her the straight truth.
Making a noise of annoyance in his throat, he replied, "No, I was dreaming of my mother."
He turned his face away from Kagome's stunned expression and closed his eyes, conjuring up what little memories he had left of her.
He hoped that his nose could still pick up the trace of lilac in the wind.
