Chapter 4: Hidden Dream

“Kagome wake up.” Sesshomaru said. Kagome groaned as she sat up slowly. She found herself in her sleeping bag and began to grow confused. “How did I get here” Kagome asked. “What do you mean? You were here all night.” Replied Sesshomaru giving her an odd look. “But... The lake... And...” Kagome stuttered. `Oh no, was that a dream I had? But... it couldn't be... It felt so... Real. “Never mind, I must have been dreaming.” Kagome gave a little laugh as if to cover it up.

“Are you hungry” asked Sesshomaru. “Yeah I'm starving.” Said Kagome. She stood up and walked over to a small fire where Jaken sat. Sesshomaru also sat down and took a pot from over the fire. He poured some Ramen into a small bowl and handed it to Kagome. “Thank you.” Kagome said as she began to chow down the food. `Damn, she eats fast.' Thought Sesshomaru with a smirk on his face. Kagome soon finished the Ramen and was gulping down a huge glass of water.

“Do you wish to take a bath before we leave today” asked Sesshomaru nicely. “No, I think I'm fine for now. But thank you.” Smiled Kagome. She suddenly dropped the glass and it shattered into a thousand tiny pieces. Sesshomaru jerked his head over to Kagome. “What's wrong.” He asked quickly. “There's a jewel shard, and it's coming this way really fast.” Replied Kagome. Sesshomaru sniffed the air quickly. “Yes, it's a demon as I thought. Jaken put out the fire. Kagome do you have you bow” asked Sesshomaru. Kagome jumped up and sprinted over to her stuff. She picked up the beautiful golden bow and ran back to Sesshomaru.

“Good.” Said Sesshomaru. “Now... where is that thing.” Sesshomaru looked around while listening intently. All of a sudden Kagura appeared in front of them. “Kagura again” whined Kagome. “Where is the jewel shard Kagome” asked Sesshomaru quickly. “Ummmm... Right there! In her left arm” yelled Kagome. Without any warning Kagura took her first shot.

“Dance of the Dragon” yelled Kagura. Sesshomaru and Kagome both hit the ground forcefully. “That damn wench” yelled Sesshomaru as he quickly jumped up. He sprinted over to Kagura and struck her with his poison claw at the same time as Kagome, who let an arrow speed through the air and hit Kagura in her left arm. Kagura shrieked as the precious jewel shard fell out of her arm. She tried to grab it, but Sesshomaru got there first. After this she shrieked once again and ran away. “Does she always do that” asked Sesshomaru who was angry that she ran away before he could kill her.

“Yeah, she pretty much does. Never let Inuyasha kill her either.” Sighed Kagome. “Thank you Kagome for helping me.” Said Sesshomaru silently. Kagome didn't quite know what to say so she just nodded. “Hey Sesshomaru. Can I take a bath before we leave” asked Kagome for the fight had made her dirty. “Sure.” Said Sesshomaru. Kagome grabbed her stuff and wandered through the forest until she found a little spring. She set her stuff down, quickly slipped off her kimono, and stepped into the spring. Kagome sighed. I was so warm and relaxing. She grabbed her bag and rummaged 5hrough it until she found her shampoo. It was the pink bottle of shampoo from Sesshomaru's castle. She lathered up her hair quickly then rinsed it thoroughly. Kagome lay back against the edge of the spring and closed her eyes.

`I wonder if it was a dream I had last night. But it felt so real... and Sesshomaru's been acting odd around me. I can't believe he said thank you to me... No... it must have been a dream. He didn't seem to remember anything at all... hmmmmm... oh well. My mind must have been playing tricks with me.' With that Kagome stopped thinking about what had happened the previous night. The water was so relaxing that she fell asleep.

“Dammit. Now where are we supposed to go” yelled Inuyasha. Since Kagome wasn't at the castle they didn't have a clue where she was. Inuyasha lead everyone to the west forest5 to see if he could get a trace of Kagome's scent. Inuyasha sniffed around silently for so long before he said anything. “I think I have her scent. Come on” yelled Inuyasha as he began walking towards the scent he has picked up and everyone followed.

“Kagome wake up.” Sesshomaru said. Kagome slowly opened her eyes. When she noticed she was naked she screamed and covered her chest. “Sesshomaru! What the hell” yelled Kagome. “I'm sorry. Its been nearly an hour though. I thought something had happened to you.” Said Sesshomaru. He walked away so Kagome could get dressed. `Damn I just had to see her naked... she smelled so good... AH I have to control myself' Sesshomaru shook his head and continued walking towards their camp.

“I'm ready to leave.” Said Kagome after she had packed everything. “Umm Sesshomaru” Asked Kagome. “Yes” he asked. “Exactly... how many jewel shards do you need” Kagome wondered. “I need fifteen.” Replied Sesshomaru. Kagome gasped. “But that will take so long.”

“I know, that's why we need to leave.” Sesshomaru said as he started walking north again. Kagome quickly followed suit. They had walked for what seemed like hours in silence. Kagome was the first to say anything. “Are you sure you can trust a demon with fifteen shards? I mean about Lord Tashko.” Kagome asked. “Yes, I chose very carefully... How did you know he was a demon” asked Sesshomaru confused. “Because I know you wouldn't have a human do that type of thing.” Sesshomaru said nothing.

`Why does everyone thing I have humans so much. Because you do you dumbass. But I don't have all of them... Especially Kago... GOD SHUT UP' Sesshomaru looked over at Kagome. She was smiling. `... Why the hell is she smiling' “Kagome.” Sesshomaru said to get Kagome's attention. “Hmmm.” She replied dazily. (She didn't know she was smiling so much.) “Why are you smiling” Kagome's smiled instantly wiped off her face like rain on a dashboard.

“Ummm... I didn't realize I was smiling... I guess I was just thinking about... oh never mind.” Kagome blushed slightly and turned her head away. The truth was she was thinking about the dream she had the previous night about her and Sesshomaru. She couldn't help having the awkward feeling that it wasn't a dream. `But Sesshomaru hates humans... It can't be real...' If it was a dream it had made Kagome realize her true feelings for Sesshomaru. She may not love him as much as she did in her dream, but it was pretty close. No matter how hard she tried she couldn't stop thinking of her dream.

“Come on we have to be getting close.” Growled Inuyasha. He was annoyed that Kagome's and Sesshomaru's scents weren't growing any stronger. “We'd probably be there by now if you guys didn't walk so damn slow.” Hissed Inuyasha. “We're not demons, we can't run as fast as you Inuyasha.” Miroku said. “How about you go off by yourself tomorrow. That way you can actually get to Kagome.” Suggested Sango. “And have him fight Sesshomaru alone? I don't think so.” Miroku defended.

“I can handle him. We will go a little further tonight then I will leave in the morning.” Inuyasha stated. Miroku opened his mouth to protest but Sango nudged him in the side and shook her head. “He can handle it.” Sango smiled to assure Miroku. Miroku gave in and kept his mouth shut. They continued to walk and soon enough night began to fall and a blanket of stars covered the sky.

“We should stay here, it's getting dark.” Said Miroku. They all stopped. Miroku and Sango both laid out their sleeping bags. Sango was deathly tired and as soon as she climbed into her warm sleeping bag she fell into a deep sleep. Miroku stayed awake for a while in his sleeping bag. He glanced over at a sleeping Sango. She looked so beautiful. If only she knew Miroku really loved her... he soon silently fell asleep thinking about Sango. Meanwhile Inuyasha and Kikyo had cuddled up against a tree and were also sleeping.

“Lord Sesshomaru-sama. How much longer are we going to travel today.” Piped Jaken. “Until I say we should stop.” Said Sesshomaru. “Wait, Sesshomaru... I... I think I sense another jewel shard.” Kagome said. “Where” asked Sesshomaru. “This way” yelled Kagome as she started running east. Sesshomaru and Jaken quickly followed. It seemed like they had ran a mile before Kagome stopped. She stopped to breathe for a minute before she spoke. “It should be here somewhere.” Said Kagome looking around. Sesshomaru and Jaken also looked for the demon that carried the jewel shard.

There was no sign of anything near them. “It's here somewhere... I can smell it.” Said Sesshomaru silently. His head suddenly shot upward toward the sky. “There” yelled Sesshomaru as he pointed toward the sky. There was a massive bird type demon flying in the sky high above them. It was perfectly round and had horrid giant teeth. There was a... person, if you could call it that, inside the bird up to its waist. It was one of the birds of paradise. “I thought we killed all of those” screamed Kagome. She hated the birds of paradise. The reminded her of when she was kidnapped by Kouga, the wolf demon. She shuddered at the very thought of him.

“Kagome see what you can do with your weapon. I don't know if I can strike that thing if it's that high up. I will try and get it to fly lower.” Instructed Sesshomaru. He quickly climbed one of the nearby trees. Kagome took out the beautiful jewel encrusted golden bow along with an arrow. She quickly places the arrow in the bow. She pulled the string back focusing all her energy on the arrow and let it fly. IT sped through the air and struck the bird. It shrieked loudly and flew lower. `Yes' thought Kagome.

“Great hit! Now where is the jewel shard” called Sesshomaru from the top of the huge tree. “It's in the mouth” yelled Kagome. Sesshomaru glided into the air and hit the bird with his poison claw and quickly landed on the top of a nearby tree. The bird shrieked again. `Great, one more hit and it should be dead.' Smirked Sesshomaru. He leapt into the air again and sped towards the huge bird. He struck it with his poison claw again. But the bird retaliated by flying to Sesshomaru and sinking its razor sharp teeth into his arm using its last bit of energy. It then fell to the ground with a deafening bang and was dead. Sesshomaru yelled out in pain as he fell to the ground. His arm was bleeding non stop and it had about ten giant teeth marks.

“Sesshomaru” screamed Kagome as she ran over to him. She laid him up against a tree. “You better use the Tensaiga quick. You're losing a lot of blood.” Said Kagome worriedly. Sesshomaru gave Kagome a sad look. “I can't find it. It must have fell out somewhere over there.” Said Sesshomaru. He gave another growl of pain as he grasped his arm. Kagome ran as fast as she possibly could to the tree Sesshomaru had been in. There was no sign of the sword. She ran around frantically looking ever where until she came across the dead bird. She saw a glowing jewel shard lying on the ground. She walked over to it, slowly bent down and picked it up.

She turned her head because she noticed something glowing blue. There, a few feet away was laying the Tensaiga. She picked it up and sprinted back to Sesshomaru. “Sesshomaru! I got the sword” yelled Kagome. She ran up to Sesshomaru and handed him the sword. He quickly healed himself. But strangely, the Tensaiga didn't completely heal the bite marks.

“How... Why... why didn't it heal all the way” questioned Kagome. Sesshomaru did not answer, for he was just as puzzled as she was. “Here, take the top of your kimono off. I will bandage it up.” Said Kagome as she walked over to her bag and got the bandages out. She walked back to Sesshomaru and knelt next to him.

`Wow... His chest is so sexy...' Kagome thought. She shook her thoughts out and began to bandage the wound on his arm. Jaken had walked a ways away and started a fire. “There.” Said Kagome as she finished. “Thank you Kagome.” Said Sesshomaru as he pulled his kimono back on. “Kagome” said Sesshomaru quietly. “Yeah” asked Kagome. “I've been wanting to tell you something. You know that dream you had last night that you told be about” “Yeah.” Said Kagome confused. “I know what it was... because it wasn't a dream...”
