I still do not own Inuyasha and for some strange reason, I'm fairly certain that I never will...
If Only in my Dreams...chapter 12
Darkness found Kagome wrapped within the warmth of Inuyasha's embrace, both exausted from yet another round of love making..and both lost in dreams within the shelter of the cave.
A gentle mist surrounded them, its tender wisps moving like a mother's gentle touch upon the face of her sleeping child as it lingered above the sleeping couple. Slowly the mist changed as it collected into the form of a woman, though she was not solid. Her figure drifted slightly before the fire, its flame long since burned out leaving the subtle glow of the remaining embers to peak through her ghostly figure.
Her soft voice whispered through the cool night air, barely distinguishable in its softness, though enough to wake the sleeping couple she'd come here to speak with. Neither moved, it wasn't necessary, they each felt like this being was somehow a part of them both. So they listened quietly, each intrigued by the ghostly woman who stood before them, each entranced with her voice and her beauty.
“ What you've needed, I have now replaced, and what you've wanted, you now hold. Love each other well, for life offers few second chances, and even fewer chances at a love a pure as yours. I offer what I can to make you both whole...a bit of my soul to replace what was taken from the girl...and a bit of my youki to make the halfdemon whole. You'll each change a little, though not enough that any will see it, though your appearances will not change at all..But that isn't all...I offer you both the gift of love. Cherish it, for it will leave you desolate and lonely without it. I loved once, and only once. A wind demon he was. Kind and gentle...he is with me always...he's the wind that carries me, the soul that guides me and the spirit that loves me. He is what inspires me to show those in love their way. But as you found each other I now move on to help the others. Sleep well, dear ones, and love completely...for you only live once...
Slowly she disappeared, a gentle gust of wind carrying her through the entrance way to pool before the rock wall until she simply disappeared all together...her new couple located not far away.
Inuyasha lay quiet, his voice hushed when he finally found the courage to speak.." Kagome..I dreamt of you too...the first was a dream I'd had many times, there by a spring, and the second was daydreaming about you when you were sunbathing at the spring next to camp...and I've had many others as well...Do you think' She 'was somehow a part of it?"
Kagome merely smiled at the thought, but still she hesitated in her answer as she didn't want to shock him into a cardiac, but she finally spoke, her words filled with desire as she turned to look her hanyou in the eyes..." I say we finish those dreams since we were always so rudely interupted"...and she nearly choked on her laughter at the shocked pleasure that registered upon his face before his growl found her ears and his lips found hers...

Miroku and Sango made their way through the forest, both quiet as neither were willing to break the comfortable silence they'd fallen into. Sango's mind shoveled its way through her thoughts, her worry for Kagome at the top of the list, right before a good nights sleep, and a hot dinner...They hadn't eaten anything other than some berries they'd found on their way through the forest, and the scent of rabbit seemed to follow them only to disappear once their stomachs recognized the smell of freshly cooked meat...and not for the first time that day she had wished that Inuyasha could be found...preferably with dinner in tow as she was simply starving...
They'd traveled long into the day and just before sunset they'd found that somehow they'd managed to circle the same grove of trees on more than one occasion until finally they resolved to make camp for the night.
The area that surrounded them lay peaceful, the fire crackling between them providing a nighttime melody meant to entrance even the hearty into a blissful nights sleep. Sango lay back, her head propped up upon her arms as she quietly studied the monk who even now sat relaxing against a tree, that familiar lecherous smile tweaking the corners of his full mouth upwards in an unconsious symbol of pleasured relaxation. Her eyes moved to take in the towering rock wall in the distance,its shadowed crevices making it become the forelorn object of ones nightmares as it hovered there in the distance...like it was waiting...watching...
She would've sworn that it lay surrounded in mist, and yet when she blinked the mist was gone...like it had never truly been there at all. Kind of like the scent of cooked meat that seemed to follow them earlier upon the breeze, only to disappear again, leaving behind two rumbling bellies that were not content with the berries they had been fed earlier.
She blinked again trying to dispel the growing sleepiness that seemed to suddenly over take her and soon the waiting darkness enclosed her within its waiting warmth, its shadowed recesses closing around a sleeping monk and an exterminator woman, neither one suspecting what was about to happen, and before long one could see a subtle mist blanketing the forest floor, its tendrils reaching around the sleeping occupants within, weaving seductively around the couple, small wisps of mist being drawn in by every breath that they took until again the mist simply disappeared, leaving only a pleased sigh to dance in the night breeze until it could no longer be heard. And somewhere within the silence soft music could be heard drifting through the forest, its soothing melody working its way into the dreams of our favorite monk and his woman who had both only just begun their journey to each others hearts through the mist of a dream where all things were possible if you only believed...

Long into the night two ghostly lovers stood side by side, their hands held tightly together as they stood at the horizon watching as the sun made its early morning trek into the once darkened sky, its sparkling rays lighting them with an ethereal glow before the man morphed into a gentle pair of hands to pick the woman up gently and carry her lovingly into the sunrise until both disappeared completely.
And there, high above the landscape sat Kagome and Inuyasha, each watching the sunrise and the ghostly apparitions within it, as well as the camp that held their friends within it.
Kagome moved from his lap making her way to her backpack, and taking some paper from its depths leaned over to jot something upon its surface before turning and making her way to a very curious hanyou who still resided by the opening of the cave...
He sat quietly reading the paper he now held in his grasp, his curious expression replaced with a pleased smirk as he jumped from the opening of the cave to disappear in the distance...even as Kagome turned and made her way through the secret opening that would lead her to the heavenly bath she craved...and hopefully a very naked hanyou would be joining her soon...
Moments later Inuyasha returned to the cave, his nose following his mates enticing scent to the hidden spring within, fully intending on reminding the wench just how very much he loved her...
And when Sango woke, she would find the lettter placed upon a tree branch...Kagome's writing upon its whiteness...
Sorry to worry you all, but all is fine...I wanted to visit the old woman, but found that it wasn't necessary...Please care of Shippo for me, and tell him I love him and will be back in about a week...Somethings have arisen that need my full attention...Be safe...See you all soon...
Kagome and Inuyasha...

Hey all...I have been thinking...My spare time is steadily running low as it generally does in the summer with baseball practices and games as well as other obligations that seem to be growing as my story chapters are shrinking...Now I can do one of two things here...but the final choice is yours...I can end this story at this chapter as I have left it open in case I decide to add more later, and continue on with the other stories I have started , though the updates for those will be slower as well...or..I can keep it going though your updates could be farther apart as I would only be able to update when I get a few minutes to write...but there probably won't be much in the way of a great plot...just the mindless smut it originated with...you tell me..okay...I am at a loss for what I should do at this point so I'm leaving it all up to you all as you have been reading and reviewing and are the primary support behind my fics...Please review and let me know...Thanks to all and until next time...Neisha
