"Well I think it's cute!" she said, trying to make him not so pissy. It was the night of the new moon, and he was human for the next ten to twelve hours. He hated it, being only half demon. Having human weaknesses and feelings. 'He must hate it' she thought to herself. She decided to stop thinking about it because it was making her angry. They'd been fighting all day. She hadn't realized that it was because of the moon... But he'd gone off on one of his schpeils about how humans were weak and he didn't need them and blah blah blah.....
"It's not cute!!!!!" he said. "I'm defenseless! What if by some chance they come for me tonight?! There's not a damned thing I could do about it! they'd probably kill you too!" Maybe she'd understand if he tried to give her a cold reality.
"Why would you care? I'm a weak human. You don't NEED weak humans remember?" She stuck her tongue out at him and turned her back from him and the camp fire. DAMMIT why was she so stubborn??!! He'd said that when he was angry, he hadn't meant HER. he did need her- what was he saying? he didn't NEED any one.
Stop lying to yourself idiot.
You do need her, whether you like it or not. Yeah, she's annoying, she's short tempered and stubborn as hell, but when has she left you? like everyone else? Never. She cries for you all the time. Wait, that's right, why does she do that?
"Why do you cry all the time?" he asked, not really meanly, more curiously.
"BAKA!!! I'm not crying!!!!!"
Eeep! "No-no, I didn't mean that, I didn't think you were, it's just err... i mean, when something happens bad to me, i mean err, uhh..... us you look... SHIT... I don't know!"
What was he trying to say? She turned around to look at him, he was sitting there, arms crossed over his chest, legs crossed indian style, head turned away pouting. "Inu-Yasha." She tried to get him to look at her... but he wouldn't. "Look at me asshole!" He kind of cut his eyes in her direction. "What is with you? You're not the nicest guy, but you tend to be less of a jerk than this most of the time."
He just stuck his tongue out and turned his head away. "FINE then, if you're going to be a child about it, I'm LEAVING!"
He didn't even look at her, she was just bluffing, she was trying to get him to talk. "I'm not going to even justify that hollow threat with a response, you're not dumb enough-" She was gone. "DAMMIT!!"

* * *

She stomped off on the trail back in the direction they'd come. they weren't that far from the village, she hoped. She'd been walking for about an hour she guessed. It was really dark, all she had was the little glow-in-the dark necklace she'd got at the mall long before any of this had happened, back when her life was normal. No Demons chasing her, not half- demons being buttheads, and definately no onesided crushes. But would she really change anything?
Yes, yes she would, she'd go right back to the way things were in an instant, she'd leave all this behind. Okay, that was a lie, she could leave him, even if it was a one sided thing. Where was he anyway? She'd figured it'd take him longer to find her being human, but not this long... Was he really not coming? what an asshole!!!!! Or maybe he got lost? Oh God what if They'd found him and she wasn't there, leaving him helpless and alone?! She had to go back!!
She turned to run, but something leapt onto the road in front of her. in the dim light of her necklace, she thought it was him at first. "Inu-Yasha?" Long white hair, taller than she, purple markings and a cresant moon on his face, nope, that sure as hell was NOT him.... that was his older brother. 'OH SHIT' she thought to herself, and started backing away. As she backed up, he got closer. She really didn't want to turn her back to him, but he was going to catch her if she didn't run. So she turned and started running, only to run into his chest. "Sesshomaru!" It came out between clenched teeth and sounded more like a hiss than words. "what do you want?!"
He grabbed her loose hair, and lifted her off the ground. It felt like every hair on her head was being ripped out slowly. "What does that little half breed see in such kine?"
"I am NOT prey you ass, now put me the hell down!" He just tightened his grip. The calm, nonchalant expression on his face never changed.
"I could kill you now. Not only is my brother mortal this night, but he's not here."
"So do it. Don't be all talk, frigg'n kill me already!" Big talk little girl, he's gonna do it, and you know it! Sesshomaru reared back the hand that wasn't holding her, and she saw he claws go green with the acid that he used to fight with. Well crap.
But he didn't. The acid went back under his claws and he let his hand down, the expression on his face never changing. He dropped her in one quick movement, and when she opened her eyes, he was gone. What was that about? In the distance she hear him calling for her. "Over here!!" she shouted. He came running up out of breath.
"Where the heck have you been? I've been by here twice!"
"You must have gone some other way, I've been on this same road for an hour now!" But you're only a couple minutes for the capmsight, which I might add, we need to get back to. There's something watching us tonight." Should she tell him? And why had it felt like she'd been walking forever if she was only a little away from where she started?
"Inu-Yasha-"
"What?"
No. "Nevermind, let's get back to the fire, I have a bad chill." But not from the temprature. Maybe she'd tell him later, when he was in a better mood.

* * *

Some thing happened to her in the woods, and she wasn't telling him. He thought he'd sensed something, or some one, but never saw anything. She was asleep now. She looked almost like an angel. It was a miracle, cause she was a damned handful. He'd been genuinely worried when he couldn't find her immeadiatly like usual. What had happened, and why wasn't she telling him. Oh well, time to go to sleep. If it was important she'd tell him eventually...............Maybe.
