Nightmares

AN: Okay, this drabble has my brother's OC, Ryuu in it. I already have a story dedicated to him, Falling in Love with a Dragon, so if you like him, you can read that. And I don't own Naruto or Inuyasha, but Aniki does own Ryuu.

"Kagome!" Inuyasha's cry caused her eyes to widen as she whirled around to face the hoard of youkai lunged for her. She took a step, as if to run off, but tripped over a rock. She landed hard on her back, by then it was too late; she couldn't get herself out of this one. The youkai closed in and she closed her eyes, waiting for the impact.

The miko shot up from her sweat-soaked futon, panting hard. It took her a moment to realize that she was safe in her apartment in Konoha. She raised a shaky hand to her mouth in order to try to quiet her breathing as to not wake up the male beside her. Kuso… She looked to him to make sure he was still asleep before gently getting off the futon. She walked a little unsteadily to the bathroom door and closed it behind her. It's been a long time since I've had that nightmare.

She looked at her reflection in the mirror and traced her fingers over the scar that started on her shoulder but went down under her night shirt. That battle had been when she had been transported here, to this alternate universe. Of course, it was also where her roommate had picked her up and healed her. After that, she followed him around, because he had promised that he would help her get back to them. That had been… nearly three years ago. They had come to Konoha since it was his home,

"You had another nightmare?" She jumped and turned to face the doorway, only to see her roommate leaning there. His smile seemed to be all knowing as she turned her head away. "It's not something to be ashamed of; we all have nightmares."

She looked up at him skeptically; he always seemed so in control, how could he have nightmares? "Even you?"

"Hai." She blinked at the wide grin on his face. "Even me!" He sobered slightly and came beside her to look in the mirror. "Everyone has one fear, and our subconscious has a funny way of exploiting that and making us piss our pants in our sleep." Kagome had to cover a laugh with a cough. He grinned again and looked at her reflection. "All we have to do is find out what the fear is and kick its ass!"

Kagome couldn't hold it in anymore and burst out laughing. Ryuu watched her bend over holding her stomach with a grin. Mission: Stop her from moping. Status: Success. He chuckled and carefully took her arm. "Come on; let's get back to bed. Knowing Obaa-chan, she'll give us a huge mission tomorrow just to spite us because we didn't get enough sleep tonight."

The miko was still giggling as she let him lead her into their bedroom. They shared the apartment because he said that it was convenient. That didn't explain, however, why they shared a bed, but she let it slide. The blue-eyed man yawned and flopped down onto the futon, and, since he still held her arm, he 'accidently' dragged her down with him.

She rolled her eyes and settled down beside him. Because of her training under Sesshomaru in the Sengoku Jidai, then under Ryuu while they were traveling, Tsunade-sama had allowed her to become a shinobi of Konoha, of course, she would be with a friend, Ryuu, so she didn't get 'lost.' I still need to figure out how he got her to do that… She knew that it was his fault because of the innocent look on his face, not counting the grin that had threatened to ruin it.

As the laughter caused by Ryuu's actions wore off, she drew depressed again, thinking about what had caused the whole thing to happen in the first place. She must have sighed too loudly, because Ryuu wrapped his arm around her waist in a comforting manner. "Relax; you have nothing to be afraid of tonight."

She immediately obeyed him out of habit and her slightly tense muscles relaxed against him and she was almost immediately asleep. Ryuu listened to her breathing as it evened out and nuzzled her hair a little. I know that she hates her nightmares because she sees it as a sign of weakness, but if this is how we end up whenever she has one, I can only hope that she has more.
