Chapter 15: Take Me Under

She woke up once more in tears. This was quickly becoming a trend for her. Each morning she would wake up in tears, and with a heavy heart. And each morning, her friends would cast her worried glances and on more than one occasion, Sango offered a listening ear. But Kagome would turn her down and offer a weak smile for her worried friends and siblings.This was something she had to resolve on her own, but her silence was killing her. So was the overwhelming guilt. She was far from ok.

//Now it seems im fadingAll my dreams are not worth savingI've done my share of waitingAnd I've still got nowhere left to go//

She ate little to nothing, only occasionally picking at a bowl of rice or some meat to appease the chilren. She slept even less than she ate, only sleeping for a few minutes ata time, dreading what she would encounter. She didn't want to face him, and yet she missed him. Each time she would fall asleep for more than a moment she would wake up in tears. Try as she might she couldn't sleep and didn't really want to. For weeks this dragged on until Sango and Miroku, having had enough of watching their friend wither away, placed Kagome under a powerful sleeping spell, praying this would work.

Kagome was sitting in the top branches of the God Tree, one of her favorite passtimes, when she began to feel extremely tired, more so than she already was. At first, she tried to fight it, but soon found that in her weakened state from lack of sleep and nourishment, she couldn't defeat it. She had left her guard down and now she was paying for it. However, she didn't panic because the power in the spell that was enveloping her was a familiar one. Finally completely giving up, she closed her eyes and allowed the spell to take hold. Just before sleep completely took her, a single name left her lips in a shuddering whisper that was filled with longing, dread, and hope.

//So I wait for you toTake me all the way//

"... Sesshoumaru."

As her consciousness was lost, she was thrust into an unfamiliar dreamscape. As she became aware of her surroundings she shivered slightly at the barren, cold feel it held. Something was missing in this place, but she couldn't quite place it. It was not a thing or a scent, but rather a presence was missing. Curiously Kagome began to explore, but she found that there was nothing remarkable work noting. It was as if everything was just there, there was no life or sparkle to anything. Everything was drull and gray. Another shiver crept up her spine as fear began to take hold of her. There was no one there, nothing there. The atmosphere of this place was beginning to affect her and it was then, when her panic began to rise that she realized that it wasn't just missing from the dream, but from herself. It felt like another part of her soul had been taken, and this part couldn't be taken or given back.

//Seems you're wanting me to stayBut my dreams would surely waste awayI still have no where to goSo I wait...//

"Sesshoumaru!?" she called as she went into a blind panic, fearing the worst and knowing it to be true. She was alone, completely and utterly alone and he was the only one she wanted with her at that moment. In her panic she began to tear through the dreamscape, looking for the missing piece of her soul. The one piece she truly needed to be complete. When no answer was forth coming, it only served to fuel her panic and she called for him again and again, tears streaming down her face. She couldn't find him, though she knew no matter how hard she tried she wouldn't. He wasn't there. "Come back," she whispered, her voice choked from her tears. Still there was no answer.

With a despondent sob, she dropped to the ground at the base of a sakura tree. There she curled around herself and sobbed until no more tears would come. It was then when she reached an almost eerie calm that she noticed the presence that enveloped her. It was then that she noticed the warmth that surrounded her, the firm chest on which her head rest and the strong arms that were wrapped around her. She had found the other piece of her soul. She sighed softly as sweet bliss weaved its way around her. That was quickly followed, however, by an insurmountable anger. She quickly quashed it before it became an uncontrollable beast, locking it away for a moment, not wanting to ruin the moment.

//Push me underPull me furtherTake me all the wayTake me all the way//
Snuggling deeper into his embrace, she sighed once more and prayed that this would last for a while longer. She felt him shift slightly and looked up at him from her position on his lap. He was staring straight ahead at some unknown point on the horizon, his eyes glazed over with thought. On impulse she brought her face level with his, and gently placed her lips upon his in a chaste kiss. His eyes widened marginally as he was brought from his musings by the sweet kiss. Slowly, almost languidly he returned the sweet kiss with one of his own. Eagerly she returned that kiss as the passion between them grew.

//Now it seems you're leavingBut we've only just begunand you've still got nowhere left to go//
Just as abruptly as it began it ended and he was on his feet and walking away. She remained upon the ground, below the sakura tree, watching his retreating back with dry eyes that burned with the want to shed tears that would no longer come. It was then she noticed that when he had come he had brought color and life to this barren wasteland. Now with his retreat, they fled with him. Sighing softly to herself, she closed her eyes and tried to swallow past the lump in her throat. She wished for nothing more than to wake up in that moment. She wanted out of this hell. She wanted to fall out of love with him. If only it were that easy.//So I wait for you toTake me all the way//~X~
