Summary: Sesshoumaru has nightmares about losing Rin.
He awoke with a start in the night. The nightmares alternated night after night. One night the wolves would kill her. The next night she would die at the hands of the Master of Hell
Gazing over at his mate, he assured himself that despite his dreams she was still alive and by his side. She muttered in her sleep as he clutched her close.
The thought of something happening to her made him shudder. Yet when the wolves killed, he had almost left. It was only the vision of her smiling face that held him.
It was not her beauty. The villagers had blackened her eyes and knocked out several teeth. Yet he was entranced by that vision. Once he saw it, he could not simply turn away from her and allow the pall bearers of the underworld to take her.
When she opened her eyes and looked at him, she captured his heart. He was hers from that moment on. Although she tagged along behind him, he could not think of being without her. When he thought she had died in Hell, he had cried for the first time in his life.
If his mother had not been able to revive her, he would have been lost. The nightmares simply reminded him of what she meant to him and why he must never again risk losing her again. She might be the girl of his dreams, but he preferred the real live woman whose eyes saw only him.
