Chapter 1
"This should be a good place to stay for the night." Kagome said as she unpacked her bag. Tonight was the new moon and Inuyasha would be in his human form, so they had to stay away from any danger they may come across. As Kagome set up the fire with Shippo's help Sango and Mikoru had left to get extra wood for the fire, so it wouldn't die down so quickly. Inuyasha was about to leave before Kagome stopped him.
"Inuyasha where are you going?"
"Keh" was all he had said.
Kagome gave a sigh, "Inuyasha you should stay here incase any demons come, your safer here."
Inuyasha snorted at here "I can handle myself unlike you, wench!" He turned to walk away before Kagome said that three letter word that sent him into the ground. The sun began to set and Miroku and Sango still not yet returned back from getting wood.
"I'm worried" Kagome had said finally breaking the silence. "What if something happened to them?"
"Keh don't worry so much wench, they can handle themselves, plus Kirara is there with them and she'll protect them. If your worried that much I'll go look for them." Inuyasha started to get up before he felt a gentle touch grasp his arm.
"No" Kagome spoke. "It's the full moon and it's not safe."
"I'm still demon I haven't turned human yet!" Inuyasha barked. Suddenly his hair turned raven black along with his claws that shortened and his fangs shortening to normal teeth and human ears replacing his dog ones. Inuyasha sighed and sat down infront of the fire next to Kagome.
"Hiraikotsu!" Sango had thrown her demon slaying boomerang at the demons that had been attacking them since they left. As her boomerang returned back to her she jogged over to Miroku who has just sucked up the last of the demons with his wind tunnel. "Are you alright?" Sango asked with a little worry in her voice.
"Yes I'm fine, don't worry about me."
"Are you sure?" She asked.
While waiting for an answer she felt a touch on her bottom and turned around only to see Miroku's hand on her butt! Sango developed a huge blush and slapped Miroku right across the face.
"We should get back to their probably worrying about us, well Kagome anyways."
"Yes Sango." Miroku said still rubbing the red hand print on his cheek.
Back at the Camp
Inuyasha and Kagome had not spoken since his transformation and just sat their quietly. Kagome glanced over to Shippo who had seem to have fallen asleep a long time ago.
"Well I think I'm going to go to sleep now" Kagome said through her yawn. She grabbed her bow and arrow for protection and headed to her sleeping bag.
"Keh, do whatever you want wench. I could really give a damn."
Kagome sighed then crawled into her sleeping bag and fell alseep quickly. Inuyasha stayed in her previous position with his hands tucked into his sleeves of his haori. After a while Inuyasha grew irrated of Miroku and Sango not returning. He felt the urge to go look for them bit but he knew it was better to stay near Kagome for she needed to be protected as well. Inuyasha's eye lids began to droop before he heard his name.
"Inuyasha.."
He quickly looked around to see who called him, without his demon senses it was more difficult for him to be able to tell.
"Inuyasha," someone had said again. He looked over and noticed it was Kagome who had been calling him the whole time. He walked over to her and bent down where he noticed she was still sleeping.
'She's dreaming about me..' he thought.
He tilted his head sideways and studied her features, he loved the way her skin was so creamy and fair, so smooth to. How her silky raven hair delicately slide across her face, she looked so peaceful. He motioned his hands toward her face to brush the hair out of her face.
"Inuyasha what are you doing?"
He turned around noticing Sango and Miroku had returned, Miroku gave Inuyasha a slight grin. Inuyasha blushed that complete colour of his haori and quickly moved his hand away from Kagome's face.
"Oh.. umm.. nothing" was all the fully blushed Hanyou could say. He moved his way back to the fire as did Miroku and Sango, Kirara following behind. Inuyasha noticed that they didn't have any wood that they were suppose to get.
"What the hell? Where's the damn wood you were suppose to get?"
Sango and Miroku looked over at him surprised at the anger he held in his voice over some wood.
"Oh umm we got sidetracked and forgot about the wood, sorry." Miroku explained.
"Plus it looks like we don't even need it anyways" Sango added. Inuyasha just ignored the comment and avoided to look at them. Miroku with a slight grin on his face looked over at the sleeping Kagome and back at Inuyasha.
"Hmm why is seems your quite upset Inuyasha, must it be because we interrupted your alone time with Kagome? We can leave again if you want" he smirked. Inuyasha turned around completely and punched Miroku on the head and turned back around quickly so they wouldn't notice his blush once again.
"Keh" was all he said.
They soon all went to bed, except Inuyasha who kept his gaze on Kagome.
Morning
Kagome opened her eyes slightly to see the sun shining down on her. She yawned and woke up completely.
"About time you got up, hurry and get dressed so we can continue to search for the sacred jewel shards."
Kagome looked up at Inuyasha and smiled slightly as she noticed he was back to being his half demon self again. She glanced at his twitching dog ears, 'their so adorable' she thought to herself as her smile grew wider.
"What the hell are you smiling at?" he asked in annoyance.
"Oh nothing" Kagome replied quickly.
They then packed up their stuff and headed off.
