Within A Dream by Laichi

Chapter One

Kagome sighed as she sat herself on Goshinboku's roots, her back pressed against it's trunk. Kagome wore her night clothes this time, instead of her usual school uniform. She looked off at the night sky, the stars' light playing with her curves and features, making her appear like a goddess.

The miko shivered a bit, and wrapped her arms around herself in attempt to somewhat block the cool night air. She looked at the "puppy-paw" prints on her pajamas. Kagome smiled a bit, then remembered what happened today, early afternoon....

"Inu Yasha, when Naraku is killed will you still remember your promise to me, and come with me to hell?"

A pause.

"You don't have anything holding you back, right, Inu Yasha?"

"......"

"You're not answering me.... why?"

"K-Kikyo.... you know I love you, and I will always love you....."

The hanyou trailed off.

"Is it my reincarnation?"

"NO! I mean, no, I don't.... no... it's not her....."

"What is she to you?"

"..... I don't know.... but.... she is nothing.... no, nothing....."

Kagome had heard the whole incident, and decided she had enough of this sickening love sene. So she left as fast as she could.

The girl suspected, later on that day, that Inu Yasha knew she was there, but the hanyou never said anything. He never even looked at her.

His words kept echoing in her mind while she was determined to keep her "happy" mood until she could cry later that night.

"she is nothing.... nothing.... nothing.... nothing....."

*present time*

Kagome was now alone. She could cry now.

"Why can't I cry?!" she asked the heavens above her when her eyes just wouldn't fill with tears like they used to.

Maybe she gave up on that stupid hanyou. Maybe she had enough of his selfish games. Possibly, she was tired of getting hurt all the time. She wanted to do something to fill the empty void in her heart.

"And what are you doing here, wench?"

Kagome looked up. She didn't see Inu Yasha.

She saw Sesshoumaru.

"Why do you care?" Kagome snapped, trying to sound cold, but instead, she sounded tired.

The lord raised on eyebrow, yet his eyes remained the same. Emotionless.

"I see you alone, and my baka hanyou brother nowhere to be seen." Sesshoumaru stated, emphasizing the hanyou word.

"He is probably with that Kikyo bitch." Kagome told the dog demon, not being able to hold back her jealous venom in her voice.

A silence sounded for a while.

"Well? Are you going to stand there all night, or are you going to sit?" the girl asked, patting a spot next to her.

But Sesshoumaru didn't move.

Kagome sighed and stood up, brushing her pajamas off, and about to walk back to the village, her bare feet picking up the wet leaves as she walked.

The miko suddenly realize how ridicules she must look to the demon lord, with her "puppy paw" prints all over the clothing.

She promptly blushed, and tried to cover the embarrassing prints. The demon lord, however, looked amused for once in his life.

"If you don't want me to see the pathetic clothing, then why don't you take it off?"

Kagome looked at Sesshoumaru, who just looked at her in amusement. No love etched on his beautiful face.

No desire.

No need.

Doesn't want her.

Doesn't need her.

Not wanted.

Kagome didn't know what possessed her, but she abruptly moved towards Sesshoumaru and suddenly kissed his warm, moist lips. For a brief, split second, the great lord Sesshoumaru was shocked. He couldn't move, and couldn't speak.

But when he recovered himself, he abruptly pushed the human girl away from him very roughly, and Kagome violently hit the ground.

For a moment Kagome couldn't breathe because of having the wind recently knocked out of her. Even when she was staring at death straight into his beautiful face, etched with rage, she never moved.

"What do you think you are doing, human?!" Sesshoumaru seethed, spiting out the human word like a sour taste in his mouth.

Kagome finally recovered, and she sat up slowly and painfully.

"I don't even know myself." the girl answered.

Sesshoumaru raised a poison claw, ready to decapitate the poor girl's head from her body.

"You have a few seconds to figure it out before you die!"

Kagome looked away from the lord with an expression of pain, sorrow, and anguish.

"Who even cares if you do kill me? I'm not wanted. I'm not going to be missed." Kagome whispered, more to herself then the deadly beautiful one in front of her.

This was not a reaction Sesshoumaru wanted from the girl. He wanted her begging for mercy, crying in pain, her blood on his claws. Not willingly excepting death!

"I'm not going to be missed....."

Her words echoed in his mind, and he put his poison claw down.

"That hanyou will obviously miss you." the lord stated.

Kagome let out a bitter laugh.

"He said it himself! I'm nothing!"

All at once, the meaning of the hanyou's word's came crashing down on her, and Kagome suddenly started crying. Sesshoumaru didn't know what to do.

Obviously, the stupid half breed did this to her. All Inu Yasha knew how to do was hurt. He comes caring the pain of his past, the pain within himself, and he unwillingly causes others to suffer the same pain.

Pain and sadness was all the hanyou knew.

Sesshoumaru didn't know what to do with the woman before him crying, already in pain and suffering. Even more than what he can inflict.

The lord took cautious steps toward Kagome, acting as if she will latch out and attack him. When he was a little passed arm's length from the miko, he just stood there. Again, not knowing what to do.

Kagome, still crying, suddenly stood up and wrapped her arms around Sesshoumaru's waist. Then she suddenly realized something.

*Where is his armor?!

It is true. Sesshoumaru was without his armor for once. Only his usual white kimono with red pattern.

The demon lord was shocked for once in his life. He looked to his left, then to his right, making sure no one saw him with this human girl crying into his lower chest.

Sesshoumaru waited until she was finished with her tear shedding. Kagome looked up at him, and he looked down at her. Both just stared at each other for a period of time, both wondering why they have crossed paths.

"I...." Kagome began. Then she stopped, and stood on her toes, kissing the demon lord once again.

This time, the kiss was more desperate, needing.... wanting. The miko-girl broke away and looked into the emotionless, golden-yellow eyes above her.

"Onegai, Sesshoumaru." Kagome pleaded. "I..... I want to feel loved.... I want to feel needed....."

The girl trailed off. Both knew what she was meaning, or referring to. Sesshoumaru did not know how to react to the girl's pleading.

It was not Sesshoumaru's level to rut with a human female, of all creatures. But, it was her loneliness..... her hurt, anger, and pain that was attracting him to her right now. Much like emotions he never showed, but still had bottled up inside himself.

The lord hesitated, then leaned down to seal his lip with her own lips. It was not a passionate kiss, rather, it was more pain. Both brought together in this cruel world to be like this, just for now.

Just right now.

"When this is over," Kagome explained, before kissing the lord again. "We can go back to the way we were. We both hate each other. We both despise each other. So, let us just brush that aside just for now."

Sesshoumaru couldn't do anything more than merely nod his head once. They kissed again, their lips barely touching. Both hurt, and afraid to love again, and be loved at the same time.

The demon lord, in one swift move, removed Kagome's clothes from her body, giving his eyes a full view. She was truly stunning.... for a human.

The star's light played on her curves. Firm, round breasts, a flat stomach that curved slightly inward, and long, firm legs. Sesshoumaru, for just a split second, was in awe. Kagome tried to cover herself as she looked at her torn pajamas on the wet ground.

Sesshoumaru removed her arms from covering herself. He looked down at her breasts, then curves.

"I will be rough, woman." the demon lord told her. "Are you.... sure about this?"

Kagome nodded.

"I am sure. Please, Sesshoumaru, make me feel alive.... wanted..... just for now."

The lord nodded once, then placed one hand on one of Kagome's breasts. He then squeezed it tightly; not very hard on demon's terms, but painful on human terms. Kagome winced, but gripped Sesshoumaru's shoulders tightly anyway.

Sesshoumaru picked the miko off her feet with his arm, and kissed and nipped down her throat. When he reached her chest, he took one of her breasts and took the nipple into his mouth.

From there, he bit down on Kagome's nipple, and rolled his tongue around it to get the drops of blood that seeped out.

Kagome groaned in half pain, half pleasure, and she arched her back, causing her breasts to be more assessable for Sesshoumaru.

The demon lord brushed his other hand against the lower part of Kagome's back, while the other twirled her nipple between his finger and thumb.

Sesshoumaru set her down on the ground, and bit her on the shoulder. After that, Kagome didn't know what happened. All she remembered was Sesshoumaru's body moving up and down in slow motion, as if this was all a dream.

Kagome felt the ripples of pleasure flow through her. She also felt Sesshoumaru's manhood inside her, moving in and out.

Both of them made love out of desperation to fill the lonely void within them. The aching for some kind of kindness, some kind of love. When it was all over, they went their separate ways.

Kagome's eyes shot open, awakening from her sleep. She found herself laying in her sleeping bag, her pajamas still on her. She moved her eyes around, and found herself in Kaede's hut.

So, it had been all a dream.

A wrong dream.

A lustful dream.

A sexy dream.

A wonderful dream.

Kagome's eyes couldn't help but start to water up, and the tears flowed down her face. She felt strangely cheated. Even though it was only Sesshoumaru, she remembered the look in his eyes. It was unlike anything she had ever seen before in his eyes.

It was coldness, hate, or unemotional. It was desperation, sadness, and lost. He had been hurt in his past. Sesshoumaru wasn't the demon she saw on the outside. In truth, he was a lost and alone as she was. But they used each other to fill that void. Such a wonderful dream.

"Kagome-chan? Are you awake?" a voice sounded.

"Sango-chan?" Kagome asked.

She saw her beat friend come into her view.

"Well, good morning, sleep head." Sango greeted. "We will be outside, waiting for you, okay?"

Kagome nodded.

When Sango left, Kagome sat up, feeling strangely sore. She pulled the cover away from herself and looked at her feet. They had wet leaves stuck to them, and all over her sleeping bag.

It wasn't a dream.

Kagome strangely found herself so happy, she thought she could leap up in the air in pure joy. She put a hand over her mouth, and looked to her left, then dropped her hand.

"I feel sick."
