"Ryoko-san, are you going to examined my hand any longer?" The elder crane-youkai, shiro's head-healer, arched his eyebrow at the young woman.

"Am I causing you any discomfort?"

"Noo.." Kagome replied, blushing. "I just have already skipped breakfast to come to you, soon you'll make me miss my lunch and I'm starving!" The man chuckled at the distressed woman.

"It's probably better if we let her go my Lord," he said looking at the silent daiyoukai.

"Hn."

"Yay!" cried Kagome running from the room. "Thanks for help Ryoko-san!"

Sesshoumaru rose from his seat.

"So?"

"The burns would be gone in two weeks. The salve I gave her would ensure that there would be no scars left." The daiyoukai eyed the healer for a moment.

"And?" he promted finally. The elder sighed.

"I don't really know what to think my Lord, I have never heard about injuries that was caused by dreams, also I can't be sure what would happen if her dreams would become more dangerous."

Sesshoumaru nodded, turning to the near window. Dark clouds were gathering on the sky and he wondered if there was a way to stop them from falling.

For the first time Sesshoumaru felt helpless.
