--Nightmare--

Kagome shrieked in her sleep. "No- no- Inuyasha!!" Panting, out of breath, she flung her eyes open, only to be greeted by a pair of golden ones not two inches from her own. The breath caught in her throat.

Inuyasha frowned a little from his position above her. "Kagome? Are you okay? I heard you making noises..." Kagome gave him a small smile.

"Yeah, I'm fine... it was just a nightmare." She tried to remember how to breathe properly.

"Oh, all right, then." Inuyasha turned to go back to his perch when a hand on his arm stopped him.

"I-Inuyasha?"

"Yeah?"

"Could you stay down here? With me? J-just for tonight, I mean."

Inuyasha shrugged, and settled himself next to her. "Now go to sleep, Kagome."

"Goodnight, Inuyasha."
