( "Will she return?...if so... will she be in Inuyasha group and will she come with us for Rin's sake?... and if so what will happen between us?...Will it be the same or different?" I thought as I fell asleep.)

Nikko P.O.V.

The sun shone through my window, its warmth and light hitting across my face. I slowly opened my eyes as I stretched out, aligning my back as I yawned, feeling my bones popped back into place.

I smiled as I had a good night's rests then I had in a long time. I remembered vaguely what happened last night, I had a horrible dream last night.

Even just thinking about it made a cold shiver run down my back and goosebumps rise against my skin. Fear instill in my body activating my fight or flight response, I took a few deep breaths and remembered that it was just a dream but still... in the back of my mind...It felt real.

- Flashback-

~Enter Nightmare~

I was running away from a tall white baboon creature that was coming after me with demon wasps, telling me that everyone I knew was gone and made me watch horrible events such as my friends, Jaken and Rin perishing in a battle and I couldn't save them. I tried to move but my body didn't respond.

I was paralyzed in place as the creature came closer. "Such a beauty...you well definitively will be his downfall and you will bring him to me." The White Baboon said as he put his hand on my chin, making my look at its face-mask.

Its voice made me shiver and not from the cold. Its touch me made my skin crawl and I tried to move away, slowly regaining my will. I moved and started to run away as the creature started coming after me.

I told it to stay away from me but it laughed as I was still running but feel like I'm going nowhere. "You will be mine, after I get rid of them all, you'll be a part of me." It said as it appeared in front of me, grabbing my arms and pulling me closer to its body and I felt that I was being absorbed into its body.

I screamed as I was being pulled in. I had one thought in mind. "Sesshomaru!...Please...help me!" I screamed as I was being ingulfed in darkness.

~End Nightmare~...

Then I sensed a warmth presence by my side, I felt a hand covering my hands, then moving me to something big and warm. I reached out gripped the thing closest to me, it felt soft and smooth like silk.

Suddenly, I heard a voice, it was deep, soft and lulling, also it sounded familiar but I couldn't put my finger on it. I calmed down a bit as the nightmare dissipated but I was still asleep.

Then I felt a cloth gently being patted on my forehead, when it got to my neck, I leaned closer to it. I moved to get comfortable on the warm item, draped over it, it was tense a bit then relaxed.

I place my head on it, turned towards it, turned to my side and I heard a strong heartbeat. It was the most wonderful sound I ever heard. I felt protected and safe.

Sometime later in the night, I moved over and a warm, soft and furry. I smiled as I snuggled to it. After awhile, I felt the cold being replaced the warmth of something gently moved away.

I missed its warmth and comfort. Then I felt a hand placed on my forehead, moving my hair away from my face. Moments later, I felt something soft pressed against my forehead, immediately my heart speed up and I smiled lightly, seconds later the warm presence left.
