Hey, first story.
italics is flashbacks.
that's basically it.
enjoy.

"Hey, Kagome. How are you?" I said, and I knew she knew immediately that I was acting different.

"I-Inuyasha? What are you doing here? I told you I have a test to study for." she said, and sighed.

"I-I know. I just...just wondered if," I said and scratched the back of my neck.

"Inuyasha, I can't come no matter what you tell me! This is a very important test." I crawled in from the windowsill. She sat at her desk.

"Please, Kagome? Just this one night? I can help you study."

"You-You want to help me?"

"N-No! ...well, yeah but...only because I want you to come back. I miss you." Her eyes gleamed and I realized my mistake.

"You miss me?"

"N-No! Shippo does! He-he said...oh who am I kidding, of course I miss you."

"Inuyasha..." Oh, no. That's how she says my name right before "sit"!

And then I was winded with a flash of green and white. She hugged me. I didn't know what to do. I ceratinly wasn't expecting it.

"Inuyasha," she whispered into my ear, "I can not leave. This test is so important. Nothing you can say will make me go." I wrapped my arms around her.

"Nothing?"

"Nothing."

"But I have something to sho-"

"I'm sorry Inuyasha, I can't go."

And that was it. I didn't say another word, I just let go of her and went out the window. Shippo was right, men never show their tears no matter what.

Remembering my stupid mistake and how my stupid heart had ached for Kagome that night long ago, I made sure that I would not leave with out her this time. Tonight, I will tell her. She better not have any stupid tests tonight. And the best part is, Miroku said there was going to be falling stars tonight, and that it would be even better because there was no moon, and we would see them better.

But that also meant that I was human, and since I'm the only one who can go through the well, I had to be the one to tell Kagome about tonight. I asked the others if they could, just because I was scared to ask her, even though I knew it was impossible for them to go through the well. I was scared of asking Kagome for fear of being rejected again. Can you believe that? Me? Scared? Oh, what has love done to me?

But this was my last chance to tell Kagome about how I felt. And besides, I knew she liked my black hair better. I smiled to myself. Almost to her window...

I heard my window slide open, and a cool breeze wash over me.

"Hey Kagome. How are you?"

And right away, I knew he was acting different. I looked up, expecting to see my beloved hanyou with his silver hair and little dog ears shining at me, but what I got was even better.

A black-haired human, with gorgeous dark eyes staring at me with a soft smile. But that means...

"Oh, no! Inuyasha, is it the new moon? Why didn't you tell me? I should have been there protecting you!" I said and stood up.

"It came early this month. And besides," He said, jumping down into my room, "I like my hair when its dark."

"No you dont."

"Huh? Yes I do! I like how it shines. If only the moon could hit it...then that would be spectacular."

Oh he was really going for it this time. He had just put a wonderful image into my mind of a beautiful human Inuyasha, shining in the moon light.

"Kagome?" he asked, snapping me out of my trance.

"Inuyasha, I'm mad at you. You could have been hurt tonight! You should have sensed the new moon was coming early!"

"Wha-Kagome dont be mad. I didnt know." I felt a small tear escape from my eye. What if he had been hurt? And then I remembered Inuyasha didnt like when people cried, but I looked at him and I got no cringe. Instead he walked closer to me and hugged me.

"Please...don't cry. I'm fine and you can see that. I'm sorry." And that was what shocked me.

"Inuyasha did you just show concern for me, say please, and I'm sorry, all in 3 seconds?" I asked. What has gotten into him tonight? I saw his cheeks flush as he pulled away. Such a contrast from his black hair.

"Don't-Never mind that. I came here for a reason." he said, avoiding it nonchalantly.

"What reason was that?" I asked. I have a big test to study for. But Inuyasha is human tonight. He might need me.

"Miroku told me that there was going to be falling stars tonight. I thought you might like to see it." He said. He thought of me?

"Oh, Inuyasha I love meteor showers!" I said and giggled.

"Meaty-whats?"

"Mee-tee-or showers."

"You take a shower in meat?" he asked, his face in disgust.

"No, silly, its what you call falling stars. Never mind. I'll go. Oh but-"

"But what?"

"Inuyasha I have a test!" I said. But...then again this test want important. Inuyasha took my hand. ...WHAT? Inuyasha took my hand?!

"Kagome, please come. I thought we could watch it...together. You know...just you and me." he said. Did he really? He really said that?

"Do you mean like...you know...like-"

"Like this?" he asked and pulled me closer, meeting his lips with mine, but only briefly.

"Inuyasha..."

"I'm...I'm sorry I couldn't...I couldn't help it." he said and pulled away. he turned, facing away from me.

"I'll go."

"Its fine. I understand. Maybe...some other time." he said and took a step forward towards my window.

"Inuyasha?"

"I-I know. I realized it after. Pretend you didn't hear that." he said and turned back to facing me, and hugged me.

"Kagome, what is going on? I heard noises and--Oh."

"Oh h-hey, mom." Kagome said, as Inuyasha and I awkwardly broke apart.

"Kagome," she said in a stern voice, "who is this man?" she asked. And I gasped. I really did.

"Mom, this is Inuyasha! Don't you recognize him?" And a look of comprehension dawned on her face.

"Oh, my! Kagome you are right, he's much cuter with darker hair!" she exclaimed. I felt my cheeks turn hot. I looked at Inuyasha who had a slightly embarrassed, slightly smug look on his face.

"Mom, can I talk to you?"

"Uhm, sure." I looked at Inuyasha.

"I'll be right back okay?"

"Mhm." Inuyasha said and nodded.

So I walked into my mother's room with her.

So now I had proof she thought I was cuter while human. Hah, nothing can go wrong tonight. Absolutely nothing.

I heard a noise, and my ears perked up. It was talking...I walked closer to the wall of Kagome's room and heard them more clearly.

"Kagome, what is it?"

"Mom, he asked me to go see a meteor shower...just me and him." I heard Kagome say. She's talking about me.

"So? What's the big deal."

"He had to kiss me to convince me to go." she said. Does this mean she doesn't love me? Oh, no I should have told her sooner, before her mother came in. At least then she would have known that not only do I like her, but I think about her every waking second.

"Kagome, if you like him, then go with him. I can not make decisions for you."

"But mom, what if...what if it doesn't work? We still need to collet the Shikon Jewel Shards, and if we...if we..."

"Kagome, If you have faith in him, your relationship should be strong. Do you have faith in him?" Her mother asked. Alright mom! On my side! But...Kagome didn't answer. Then after several more seconds, she did.

"Yes. I do. I do trust him."

"Then go with him tonight. Come back tomorrow and you can tell me all about it."

"yes mother. Thank you so much."

Crap, she's coming back! I ran to the bed and laid down staring up at the ceiling, pretending I hadn't heard anything. I heard Kagome's mother call a "Goodnight" and Kagome waved to her down the hall as she walked into her room.

"So you think I look cuter as a human?" I asked.

"Oh shut up. Lets go." she said. And I took her hand and smirked as we went out the window to the well.
