InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The World Through His Eyes ❯ I Feel You ( Chapter 2 )

The World Through His Eyes  

 

  Disclaimer: I don’t own Inuyasha. I probably don’t even own this idea…because lets face it…there’s nothing new under the sun, people. I hope I can pull this idea off with some originality though. Also, I guess you could say this is kinda AU…but it takes place in the cannon universe…erg…just read… Also, I don’t own the song, I Feel You, by 3Doors Down.   Chapter Two: I Feel You  

They gave me a life that's not so easy to live,  


~*~*~*~*~  

 220;When you said there was a way for me to help her, I thought you meant going and searching for some damn rare plant or something. I never--” To Kaede’s amusement the hanyou looked ready to run for his life. Everyone was seated outside under the shade of the few trees that grew next to Kaede’s hut. Kagome sat close to Inuyasha, grasping his hand as if it were her life line. He didn’t seem to notice. 

“But Inuyasha, you are partly responsible for what happened to Kagome, are you not? Had you not goaded her when the day’s training had brought her power so near the surface none of this would have happened.” The elder interrupted to point out. 

“But what you’re asking. She already has the power to flatten me to the ground on a whim, why would I want to give her this power too? Everything that my eyes would see she would see… ” he felt like invisible walls were surrounding him on all sides and there was no way he could escape capture. 

“Really Inuyasha, it will only be for a few weeks at the most, until her body is strong enough to heal itself. The only reason Kaede-sama is even suggesting it is because of Kagome-sama’s fear of being in the dark. She can’t calm and heal because she’s in constant fear.” Miroku knew that the mention of Kagome’s fear would take way any more protests Inuyasha had. 

“What if I don’t want to see things through his eyes?” This came from Kagome, who everyone had forgotten was sitting there, she’d been so quiet. 

“Why not child?” Asked Kaede, she had been sure this idea would be the answer. 

“I don’t want to borrow Inuyasha’s eyes. I…That would be…I don’t know, strange?” 

“I’ll do it.” Inuyasha’s voice held determination. If this would help Kagome, then he would go through with his promise even if he wasn’t too keen on the idea. 

‘Why is it he always has to take the opposite side? If I had wanted to do this would he not want to? A minute ago he hated the idea and now he’s all gung ho about it.’ 

“But I said I didn’t want to—“ 

“What do we have to do so that she can…whatever?” Inuyasha continued talking as though Kagome hadn’t protested. 

“It is quite a simple spell, made all the more easier because your souls are familiar with each other. All I have to do is form a…bridge of sorts, between you two…so that she’ll have the ability to see through your eyes.” Kaede looked thoughtful for a moment as if there was something she wasn’t telling them and then continued, “I will need a bit of cloth from Kagome, and some of her blood, I think that should do it…oh and Miroku, if you would help me? I will need someone to hold the windows to their souls open while I work on the bridge.” Through the explanation Kagome had been protesting loudly that she didn’t want to do this. Finally Inuyasha looked over at her. 

“Keh, wench just shut up for a moment! You know Kaede-baba said you could lose your sight permanently if you don’t heal soon. And you can’t heal if your body is in constant stress because you’re afraid! And if you never get your sight back how are we going to find the shards?” He pointed out to her. 

“That’s all you ever care about isn’t it? The shards!” She did a very good job glaring at him even though she couldn’t actually see him. 

“Yes, the shards! Must I remind you why they are so important? Hello, evil guy named Naraku? Does that ring a bell?” He reached over and rapped his knuckles on her forehead for emphasize.  

The others watched this scene and tried not to laugh. Inuyasha and Kagome looked ready to kill each other, but they never unclasped their hands.  

“Just once I’d like you to think about what Iwant! I do everything you want me too. I skip school, I come back early, I’ve missed my brother’s last two birthdays and a close friend’s wedding! And now…Has it even crossed your mind that maybe…just maybe I don’t want to see the things you see? Like when you have to kill…or Kikyou…” Inuyasha leaned away from her as if she were poisonous. He was shocked at her outburst, but then the last part of it hit him. 

‘Of course she wouldn’t want to see Kikyou through your eyes, baka! You know how she feels about you going to hell with Kikyou when all this is over.’ For the first time he noticed that their hands were still clasped on the ground between them.Then a new thought hit him. 

“Baba, would this bridge make it easier for Kikyou to take Kagome’s soul?” Kagome stiffened and started tugging her hand away. Inuyasha ignored her and focused on the elder miko. 

“I do not think so. She will be more vulnerable, but my sister would have to break your connection to Kagome before she could find an opening big enough to do such a thing.” Even though her words sounded firm, Inuyasha didn’t like the frown on her face. 

“Kaede-baba, what aren’t you telling—“ 

“Is there a way you could fix the spell so that if one of them didn’t want to see or be seen they could somehow turn it off?” Sango suggested helpfully. Everyone looked at her with varying degrees of _expression. 

“That could work, if I cast the spell so that it went two ways instead of just one. Then it would give Kagome some power over what she saw. Would that make you more comfortable child?” Kagome swallowed slowly then nodded her head. 

“As long as I can turn it off I guess it will be okay.” She dropped her face downward as if to hide her eyes behind her bangs. 

“Good, that’s taken care of, but I must warn you. By casting the spell both ways Inuyasha’s going to have a certain…insight…into your mind.” 

“Insight?” Both miko and hanyou asked in unison. 

“He will be able to since your emotions more keenly, and of course if you’re in danger he’ll know it almost instantly.” Kaede waved her hand dismissingly,  

“Well is that really a bad thing? If Inuyasha knew what Kagome was thinking he wouldn’t get sat so often.” Shippou piped up. Everyone had to agree with that, even Inuyasha himself. 

‘And I’ll know when she’s in trouble.’ He looked over at the girl next to him and saw that she was still uncertain. 

“I promise I won’t force you to do this Kagome. It’s up to you.” He whispered so that the others wouldn’t hear. 

“If I don’t do it, will you still stay until I get my sight back on my own? You won’t leave without me will you?” Her question surprised him. Didn’t she know by now that he’d never leave her when she needed him? 

“I won’t leave you.” He assured her. Those words seemed to be just what Kagome needed to hear. She straightened her shoulders and looked over to where she could feel Kaede’s aura. 

“I’ll do it.” 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ 

It was the hour right before dawn. They had chosen this time to cast the spell because according to Kaede souls were the least attached to their human bodies at this time. A strip of Inuyasha’s fire-rat fur lay beside a strip from Kagome’s old uniform skirt. To the side of those were two small vials of dark red liquid. Inuyasha and Kagome lay beside each other on the floor. She still clutched his hand. On either side of them sat the miko and the priest. Miroku looked especially happy to be sitting beside Kagome. 

“Touch her priest, and you’ll lose your hand.” Inuyasha growled. He didn’t like having to lay down for this, it left him feeling wide open for attacks. 

“Why, Inuyasha, do you doubt my honorably intentions where Kagome-san’s well being is concerned?” Miroku pulled on his best innocent priest face. 

“Keh, I doubt your honor where any woman is concerned. Don’t touch her.” 

“Miroku isn’t going to touch me, Inuyasha. Now be quiet so they can get this done already.” Kagome snapped from beside him. She wasn’t a morning person. He huffed but remained quiet. Kaede took this as a sign to start. First, she took out a small stone dish and sprinkled a few handfuls of different herbs into it, along with a few hairs from each participant. Then she took some small sticks from the nearby fire and placed them in with the herbs. It gave off smoke and a funny odor almost immediately. 

“This incenses will put you both in a type of dream sleep. You may see strange things, memories that aren’t your own, such things as that. It is because your souls will be wide open. You instincts will tell you to fight this opening, but you must not. I will try to work as fast as the casting allows.” The two lying on the floor just nodded. Their heads were already beginning to feel quite fuzzy. Miroku felt a nagging worry that he felt he had to address before he went into his trance to keep them open for the elder miko. 

“Are you sure this incense isn’t going to affect us?” he asked quietly as she prepared more of the herbs that she would need. 

“No, the hairs in the mixture will make it specific for only them.” 

“Oh,” he sighed. “That makes me feel better.” 

“Miroku-sama?” 

“Yes ma’am?” 

“Your trance?” Kaede looked at him pointedly. 

“Oh, yes. Sorry.” 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~  

Kagome found herself standing back home. The sun was sitting and the fireflies were beginning to come out. She saw a smaller, younger version of herself come out of the house and begin dancing amongst the glowing lights. She smiled at the memory and the sound of her own carefree giggles. 

“This isn’t as bad as I thought it would be. These aren’t even Inuyasha’s memories, they’re mine.” 

She watched herself for a bit more before she noticed that the scene was changing. The younger version of herself was fading, going farther and farther from her sight as the twilight started turning to day again. 

“Wait…what’s this?” She found herself in the forest, and from certain land marks she could see from where she was standing, Kagome guessed it to be Inuyasha’s forest. 

“One of Inuyasha’s memories…?” She asked herself. 

From her right a shadow moved, and Kagome jumped in surprise. It was Inuyasha, but he was different somehow. He walked with the same grace he had always possessed but something in his steps seemed more free spirited. His shoulders were relaxed and to her utter shock he was smiling at something behind her. Or was it someone? Suddenly she dreaded to see just what, or who, was making him so happy, but her body seemed to turn without her consent. She closed her eyes tightly. 

“I don’t want to see this. I can’t see how happy he was before me.” She turned her back forcefully away from the scene that was unfolding in Inuyasha’s memory. 

“I told you that it would be hard, child. But for this to work you have to accept the part of his soul Inuyasha decides to share.” She found Kaede standing beside her. 

“You mean, he deliberately picked a memory I would find painful?” Kagome asked, hurt that he would do such a thing. 

“Nay, child. It is only his subconscious wish that you understand this part of him that lets you see into this hidden part of his soul. I imagine what he is seeing right now is just as painful. Now turn around and see what he is offering to you.” Kagome swallowed with trouble and slowly did what the older, wiser, miko had bid her. She saw that the couple hadn’t yet reach each other, as if when she turned around the memory had become paused. 

“Great, looks like I didn’t miss anything.” She wrapped her arms around herself tightly, because even though the sun was out, none of its heat seemed to touch her skin. 

Kagome watched as Inuyasha took Kikyou’s hand in his and lead her over to sit at the base of a tree. Kagome’s body moved closer against her will to bring her closer to the scene. 

“You look tired.” Inuyasha commented as he leaned over and brushed a stray hair from Kikyou’s shoulder. 

“Yes, there some kind of fever running through the village. It takes all I have just to heal the children. It is a very aggressive sickness.” She tiredly leaned her head against his shoulder. They sat there for a few moments in companionable silence. Kagome felt tears begin to run down her face. They had such a relaxed relationship, and she couldn’t help but envy that.  

“Why can’t we be like that, Inuyasha? Is it because I’m just a copy? Or is it because I’m missing a part of my soul?” Kagome placed a hand over her heart that sometimes gave her pain. She never complained about the small empty place, but she never forgot that it was there, or what would feel it. 

“Are you still going to become human for me Inuyasha?” Kagome’s eyes swung back to the couple when she heard that question. She was just in time to see the flash of uncertainty in the hanyou’s eyes before it was gone. Kikyou had missed it because her head was on his shoulder. 

 “Yes, right here in our special spot.” She sat up and kissed his cheek softly, “I have to go back to the village now.” 

“Do you want me to give you a ride back?” He stood up and indicated his back. 

“No, of course not! The people wouldn’t be happy to see me, their priestess, gallivanting around with a demon, and seeing me with a half demon would be worse. No, you just stay here and keep out of sight. I’ll come back to see you tomorrow.” Kikyou reached up and patted his cheek and then made her way back toward the village.  

Kagome watched as the smile slowly slid off Inuyasha’s face and he sat back down. 

“Do you think they’ll accept a full human who used to be a demon? Or will you hide that part of me and tell them you last the jewel?” He spoke to himself half angry, half sad. “What I’m considering just so I’m no longer alone.” His sigh was so heart-felt and resolved that Kagome had to blink away tears. When she opened her eyes Inuyasha was gone, or at least he wasn’t sitting on the ground. She looked up and found him pinned to the God Tree. A slightly younger version of her was rubbing his ears as villagers crept up behind her. 

“Oh great, I was so clueless then. I didn’t even know they were back there. No wonder he thought I was so weak.” 

“What—where am I?” Kagome jumped at hearing a voice in her head. It sounded like a drugged, sleepy Inuyasha. 

“Am I hearing his voice in my head? I didn’t think he woke up until much later.” She moved closer to the pinned hanyou, totally ignoring the villagers as they carted her younger self off. 

“There! I know I just saw him move.” She climbed up and sat next to his root entangled feet. 

“Kikyou, where’s Kikyou? She was hurt a few minutes ago…I have to check on her…but I can’t move!” His mind was in a panic and Kagome almost fell off her perch. To him, it was only a few minutes, not 50 years. 

“What am I saying? She betrayed me! She never loved me at all, it was all just a ploy.” Kagome felt a stab of grief as she heard his voice turn from worried to bitter and hateful. 

“When I get free of what ever spell this arrow has on it I’m going to get that jewel and become a full demon. I should never have let her talk me into wanting to be so weak. I won’t love her anymore, I won’t! And I’ll be damned if I ever let another human trick me like that.” 

“Do you understand now?” Kagome did fall off her seat this time. 

“Inuyasha! You’re not supposed to be here.” He reached down and helped her stand with gentle hands.  

“What, I’m not supposed to be in my own head?” His smirk of amusement made her blush. 

“No…what I mean is…Aren’t you suppose to be in my head?” She carefully asked. Inuyasha looked thoughtful. 

“I suppose I’m in your head too.” 

“What? I don’t understand…how can you be in two places at one time?” She noticed that his hand was still on her arm and that his thumb was making slow circles on her skin. 

“Well, I guess you could say I’m the soul of Inuyasha. The part that has to stay here in my own head.” 

“Oh.” 

“But you never answered my question. Do you understand?” Those circles his thumb was making were really beginning to distract her. 

“Do I understand what?” He smirked at her reaction to his touch. 

“The reason I react to Kikyou like I do. To me it was just a few minutes between the time I fell asleep and woke up. To the rest of the world it was 50 years. I couldn’t just make my feelings go away from one minute to the next.” His eyes held more emotion at that moment than any other time she had seen him. 

“I think I understand, but you must also understand that I hate feeling like I’m second best to everything the great Kikyou was. Sometimes I wonder if you’d like me better if I were dead too…” She left the sentence hanging and tried to pull away from him. When had she leaned in close enough to rest her hands on his chest? He wouldn’t let her pull away. Inuyasha’s eyes were again displaying an abnormal amount of emotion, this time, anger and hurt flashing across his eyes.

“Never, ever let me hear those words coming from you mouth! You aren’t Kikyou. Deep down I understand that and I love you for who you are.” He leaned down and softly kissed her surprised lips. “I just have a hard time showing that side of me. I’m afraid.” 

She smiled up at him and snuggled closer, “The great Inuyasha, super hanyou, is afraid of me, Kagome the weak?” 

“Kagome the weak? If only you were…then I wouldn’t be drawn to you like I am.” For the first time in a longtime she felt completely safe and content, or as much as she could while in someone else’s head. But… something was nagging her in the back of her mind. 

“I’m not going to remember any of this, am I?” She asked. His arms squeezed her a little more tightly for a moment before he answered. 

“You will remember bits and pieces, but nothing of our conversation. I wish I could let you keep your memory of my feelings for you, but most of me isn’t ready to even admit that I lov---“ He was fading away rapidly. She could see his lips moving but she couldn’t hear his words. Desperately she tried to cling to the dream Inuyasha, but it was hopeless. She was waking up. 

~*~*~*~*~*~ 

Inuyasha looked around at his strange surroundings and sighed. He recognized where he was. 

“Trust Kagome’s mind to be at the fucking school of hers.” He leapt into a familiar tree and looked into the class room window. Sure enough there was Kagome working away in a room full of people. 

“How can she stand to sit in such a crowded place? Just looking in makes me skin crawl.” Just then a loud bell rang out across the campus and Inuyasha reached up to cover his sensitive ears. 

“I hate that bitch’s time! Is this some kind of joke? Of all the memories she has in that head of hers why this one?!” He cursed colorfully as the noise level outside went up by several notches. 

“That’s it. I’m getting out of here until she finds something else to think about.” He grumbled and made a move to leave the scene of the dream. 

“If you leave I won’t be able to finish the spell Inuyasha. You must let her show you what she’s trying to make you understand.” Kaede appeared beside him like magic. 

“Keh, more like she’s just found another way to torture me.” His words sounded slightly unsure. 

“Stay Inuyasha. Do it for Kagome’s sake.” The elder human winked out of sight and left him alone again. 

“’Stay Inuyasha. Do it for Kagome’s sake.’” He mocked her in a childish voice. “Keh, like I have a choice.” He jumped back up into the tree and looked back into the room. It was empty save for Kagome and a female teacher. 

“Higurashi, your frequent absences are causing you to fail my class. Now, you don’t look sick to me, in fact you have a nice little tan. Do you want to tell me where you’re really at all the time.” She leaned over Kagome in an attempt to intimidate her. Inuyasha smirked. 

“If you think your going to intimidate my Kagome think again. She’s faced demons much scarier than you and never blinked. Wait when did she become MY Kagome? Keh, being in her head is affecting mine.” 

“I-I have been sick Kishino-san, really I have been,” She stammered out. This caught Inuyasha by surprise. He sniffed the air to see if she was truly afraid but found that he couldn’t smell a thing. 

“You lie poorly Higurashi. My husband is a doctor you know. Half the illnesses you claim to have contracted aren’t even real. Did you not expect someone to catch on to you eventually?” 

“But, ma’am, I—“ 

“Save it. I will hear no more lies. But I want you to know that you will not pass my class if you don’t start showing up more. I don’t care what your test grades say, I’m not going to pass some beach bunny* who doesn’t take school seriously while everyone who does is trying so hard. And I’m not the only teacher who feels this way.” 

“But I am trying hard Kishino-san! You don’t understand how hard…” From his vantage point Inuyasha could see tears start to pool in Kagome’s eyes. 

“Why that bitch! She’s making Kagome cry!” He had to stop himself from kicking out the window and kill the teacher where she stood. 

“Spare me your excuses. Don’t you understand the dishonor you’re bringing to your family and shrine? I want you to think about all of this while you’re in detention. You may leave in an hour.” The teacher primly walked out of the room leaving Kagome alone save for the unknown watcher at the window. She placed her head on her desk and spoke to herself. 

“I can’t just ignore the past. I have to go back. I have to go back to Inuyasha…but what about here? I can’t fail my family!” Her sobs tore at him. He couldn’t stand to see her cry like that. Inuyasha pulled back his fist and sent it through the window, he had to get to Kagome. Had to stop her tears… 

Abruptly he found himself floating inside a brightly painted room, small children were sitting in a circle around a pretty young woman. One of the children looked suspiciously like a mini-Kagome. Her face was so childishly intent on what the woman was saying that Inuyasha felt a smile tug at his lips. 

“She was a cute little kid.” He commented. 

“I want you all to listen to me,” spoke the teacher, “The only way you will ever not be a failure to your families is if you do good in school.” The words strangely echoed in his mind before the scene changed again. 

This time Kagome was a little older and she sat in a desk instead of on the floor. This time, there was a man in front of the group of children. Kagome wore a board _expression and her eyes kept drifting out the window.

Suddenly, the teacher whirled on Kagome and snapped, “Higurashi, if you ever want to be anything in life, you will pay attention in my class.” Inuyasha saw guilt flash through her eyes right before he was again yanked out of that class room and into another time and place. 

Here Kagome was only a little younger than when he had first met her and yet again she was sitting at a desk. The man up front was passing out papers to the waiting students. 

“This is a practice test, much like the entrance exams you will be taking to get into the high school of your choice. If you don’t do well on them here, then I suggest you spend all your free time studying so you won’t fail later on.” 

The dream world became confused after that memory. Inuyasha felt himself spin out of control as he fell down a long dark hole. Voices rang out of the darkness and hurt his ears. 

“You must get good grades!” 

“Don’t let everyone down Kagome!” 

“You failed your math test again Kagome!” 

“Higurashi you’ll never get into good schools at this rate.” 

“You’re a failure.” 

“Failure.” 

R 20;FAILURE!” 

Suddenly he hit the bottom of the hole with a painful crunch. His head was still ringing from the bombardment of those fucking voices. Inuyasha didn’t understand a lot of what was going on, but he did pick up on one thing. Kagome’s time put a lot of emphasis on education.  

“No wonder she’s always running back to her world. It must be hell having to put up with all of that pressure.” 

“So you understand?” Suddenly the darkness was gone and he was in the forest beside Kaede’s village. 

“Only your head could be this chaotic Kagome,” He grumbled to the girl who’d just materialized out of thin air. She ignored his grumble and sat down on the soft grass, bringing her knees up to her chest. 

“I have to keep going back Inuyasha because after all the shards are found and you’re gone I’ll have to know how to survive in my world without you.” She told him in a soft voice. 

“What do you mean, ‘With out me’? You make it sound as if the well will close up.” When she just looked at him he began to feel a sinking feeling in the pit of his stomach. 

“Kagome, what aren’t you telling me? Do you know something I don’t?” He felt a knot form in the pit of his stomach when she just shrugged. 

“I don’t know what will happen. I don’t want to lose you, Inuyasha. But I have to have something to fall back on if your not there to catch me.” She turned sad eyes toward him and he got a shock. Her eyes were his Kagome’s, and yet they weren’t. These eyes were old and wise. He swore and jumped back. 

“You’re not Kagome!” 

“Yes, Inuyasha I am. It is true that I have not always been Kagome, for mine is a very old soul indeed. But I am truly your Kagome.” She rose and placed a feather light kiss on cheek. “I want to thank you for letting me see with your eyes. I have always feared the dark, no matter what life I’ve lived.” She shuddered. 

“I never knew that.” She looked at him curiously, “You were having a hidden affair with Kikyou and you never wondered why you never met at night?” Inuyasha blushed and shook his head. 

“I never thought about it.” He admitted. She smiled softly. 

“I can hear Kaede calling you. Her work is complete now, but before you go, please tell me you understand what I tried to show you?” Her eyes pleaded with him. 

“I think...I think I understand.” He answered. “I’ll try to remember what you’ve showed me.” He felt his body getting heavy, and he fought to stay wake. 

“Kagome--!” 

“Shhh, sleep Inuyasha.” 

~*~*~*~*~*~ 

Kaede and Miroku watched as both of them began to stir. Inuyasha opened his eyes first and sat up. He rubbed his head and looked over at Kagome. It felt strange, the new awareness of her in his head. It was like a small and not altogether unpleasant tickle in the back of his head. 

Kagome opened her eyes, and for a moment felt disorientated. 

‘Why I’m I looking at myself in a mirror? No, it’s not a mirror…’ Then it hit her. 

“You’re looking at me.” She whispered softly to Inuyasha. He started at the sound of her voice then gave a weak laugh. 

“Yeah, I guess I was. Sorry.” Kagome saw herself smile slightly through Inuyasha’s eyes. 

“It’s okay.” 

“If I may, I’d like to tell you exactly how this works.” Kaede spoke up from where she sat beside Inuyasha. She looked tired, in fact both Miroku and Kaede looked rather weary.

As if sensing their thoughts, Kaede sighed. “It is very hard work to do what we have done.” She indicted the small strip of green cloth that was tied to Inuyasha’s subdue necklace, “I used some of Kagome’s blood to write the characters for "borrowed sight" upon her cloth. Your necklace was the easiest thing to tie it to because Kagome is already linked to you through that. Now I want you to untie it.”  

Inuyasha reached up and carefully tugged at it. The moment it came free Kagome stiffened. 

“Tie it back Inuyasha!” She urged as the world went dark again. He hurried to do her bidding. 

“Inuyasha please look at Kagome for me. Yes, that’s good. Now child do you see the piece of clothe wrapped around the top of the shikon shard you wear? If you remove that Inuyasha will not feel your thoughts anymore, and you won’t be able to see what he’s seeing.” 

“Keh, as much as she loses that jewel, couldn’t you think of a better place to put it?” Inuyasha glared over at the older miko in discussed. 

“Inuyasha, stop glaring!” Kagome ordered. 

“Why should I bitch?” He turned his glare onto her. 

“Because it makes your eyes scrunch up funny and it’s hard for me to see.” He felt a wave of her annoyance sweep over him. 

“Well, you’ll just have to live with it because these are my eyes! I'll glare it I want to!” 

“I’m going to say the “s” word!” 

“Say it! Let’s see if you like the view when my face is slammed into the ground!” 

“SIT!” 

“That’s it; I’m closing my eyes for at least four hours for every time you say that!” 

“I think they’re going to be okay,” Miroku commented to the miko next to him. “Do you think they’ll remember all that stuff they said to each other during their enchanted sleep?” He had seen all of it while holding the soul windows open. 

“I don’t know. Only time will tell.”

*Beach Bunny: This is a term that I found in the manga Peach Girl. It simply refers to someone who spends all their time on the beach. 

A/N: this is the longest chapter I’ve ever written for any story, except for that one shot…but that’s literally another story. I hope the dream sequences weren’t too long. I just liked the idea. Well, reviewing never killed anyone that I know of, so why don’t you give it a try?
