Nightmare

Chapter 1.

He ran as fast as he could and as far as his legs would carry him. Every now and then he’d look back. He was sweating, panting, gasping for air. Something was following him but he didn’t know what it was or if that what was a who. His head jerked up as he heard wing flaps. Whatever it was, it was scaring the crap out of him. A gasp escaped him as he tripped over a tree-root and he grunted when he hit the ground. From exhaustion Sesshoumaru didn’t get up he had to rest but knew he couldn’t as he tried to pull himself up someone landed on top of him chuckling evilly, “Gotcha dog demon.” The voice said and laughed again.

“AH!” Sesshoumaru gasped as he woke up; he lifted a hand and placed it on his forehead, he was sweating and he was panting. His heart was racing and he could just feel the pounding in his chest. He fell back onto the ground holding his forehead, he was so glad that Inuyasha and his friends had taken Rin to take care of her. Sesshoumaru hadn’t been feeling well and now he and his brother were close and now at least they acted like brothers and didn’t fight, that much. Inuyasha had seen that his brother hadn’t gotten enough sleep and needed some time alone so he had offered to take Rin. He sprang up to his feet when birds got scared out of the trees and the flaps reminded him of the wing flaps in his dream. He looked around frantically but then shook his head, it had only been a dream, and dreams didn’t come true! A low growl escaped his throat in frustration and he got up and stormed off heading for a hot spring.

After walking for over two hours he heard a crack, he spun around and narrowed his eyes looking around trying to keep calm, for crying out loud he is Sesshoumaru the lord of the Western lands! An assassin! Suddenly the heavy sound of wing flaps could be heard from above, he looked up but saw nothing but he could sense an even stronger demonic aura then his! How, how could that be?! Before he knew it he had started running, brushing away tree branches as he ran passed them. He picked up his pace and ran and ran; he just didn’t want to stop. Maybe he should go look for his brother? Get him and his friends to help him? Perhaps hide out in Kagome’s time until this passed? If it did pass, that is. No! It would he couldn’t think like this! This was going to pass! It wasn’t real! It wasn’t! His hair flowed behind him like a stream, and from above he was being watched.
