InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Restless Sleep ❯ Discovery ( Chapter 1 )

Inuyasha had been pulled from his slumber when he heard sounds of movement coming from the now cindered camp fire. He scented the air in hopes of finding what might have been causing the disturbance, but when he couldn’t find any outside threats he jumped down to investigate what could be bothering the people who he claimed to be his pack.

After jumping out of the tree he noticed where the source of the noise was coming from. It was Kagome, his Kagome who seemed to be having trouble sleeping in the confines of her sleeping bag.

Kagome woke up groggy from the lack of sleep she had been having the past few nights. For some reason she was finding herself unable to sleep as peacefully as she had in the past, when she finally was able to pass out due to sheer exhaustion it wasn’t restful slumber.

Kagome sighed and rolled to her side. Happy that after the third night of waking Shippo up he had decided to sleep with Sango and Kilala. She was beginning to feel bad that due to her recent problem and her constant movement, he wasn’t able to get adequate sleep.

After what seemed like an eternity Kagome was pulled into another light sleep.

Inuyasha began to walk towards the now sleeping woman. She had been a little cranky towards him and the rest of the party the past few days, and he was beginning to get tired of the few extra "sits" he was earning himself.

Kagome began moving again. ‘I wonder if what ever is keeping her up has something to do with the time we have been spending together.’ Inuyasha thought as he began to look at her sleeping form wanting to test his theory.

Flashback

Inuyasha had seen his mother tossing and turning in her sleep and became curious about what was happening to her.

“Mommy.” said the young hanyou as he went to go sit in her lap.

“Yes dear, what seems to be bothering you?” She asked her son who had a worried look on his face.

“Mommy have you been having nightmares at night?” He asked curious to know why his mother wasn’t sleeping so well.

She just smiled down at him. “No honey, I have been having good dreams at night about you playing by the lakes and streams with other kids your own age.” Inuyasha was happy to know that she was dreaming about him having fun with other kids.

But he knew that, that dream could never come true because no one he had ever met had accepted him because he was a half demon.

Inuyasha had to make sure everything was alright so he continued. “Then why are you always moving at night when you are sleeping?”

His mother had continued smiling. “Well that’s because your father isn’t here to sleep with me at night.”

Inuyasha just nodded, not truly understanding. “Why would sleeping next to daddy keep you from moving at night?”

“Because sweetheart, your father and I are bonded and because of that I won’t be able to sleep well unless he is close enough for me to sense. The same would go for your father as well.”

Inuyasha smiled up at his mom and hugged her neck. “Oh I understand now mommy. Will I ever not sleep because of a girl?”

His mother hugged him back. “Well if you find someone that loves you as much as you love them. Just being around them long enough can start to build the bond that your father and I share and always will .”

Inuyasha smiled at her hoping that he would one day find a girl that would make him lose sleep at night.

End of Flashback

Inuyasha studied Kagome as he slowly began walking towards her sleeping form. The closer he got to her the less she seemed to have to move, and the more even and deeper her breathing had become.

Seeing how restful Kagome had become he sat down next to her. After observing her for a few minutes he decided it was time to leave and go back to bed, because he too was beginning to find himself more and more tired. But while he was walking away he could hear her moving again.

“Inuyasha.” he heard Kagome whisper before turning towards him. He looked at her, she was still sleeping but she had a pained look upon her face. He began hearing Kagome whimper.

Inuyasha felt a jolt of pain stab at his heart every whimper he heard. Walking back to Kagome he laid down next to her and pulled her close. Kagome let out a sigh of contentment and snuggled closer to Inuyasha.

He took a deep breath of her scent and held on to her protectively as sleep took over him shortly after.
