Chapter 1: Are there other ways?
It's the middle of the night of the New Moon. Inuyasha in his human form isn't too thrilled as usual. The group is in a hut in the middle of the forest. Kagome as usual is more protective since Inuyasha is powerless without his demonic powers. While Miroku, Sango Shippo, and Kirara are in the hut sleeping. Kagome is sitting by the fire, reading one of her school textbooks, and realized that the following month in this time, there's going to be both a solar and lunar eclipses in the area. The night is getting chilly every minute, all Kagome had with her was her backpack full of textbooks, food and clothes, but it doesn't have enough room for her sleeping bag. Inuyasha watches over her while she was shivering, lend her his kimono to keep her warm. "Here you go Kagome." Inuyasha said softly. Kagome blushing in the kimono leaning into Inuyasha, "Thanks Inuyasha." Inuyasha started to blush as well. As a human, Inuyasha is more passionate of Kagome, than he is in his hanyou form. "What are reading, Kagome?" Inuyasha asked curiously looking into her book. Kagome turns the book to him and points out what's on the page. "This is about eclipses, have you ever heard of them?" Inuyasha was shocked to see what Kagome was showing to him. "As a matter of fact I do. I was born when the full moon disappeared in the sky. But I don't know why that happened."
"The reason why the Full moon disappeared was because the Moon was going into the Earth's shadow." Kagome explained. "I though it was just a dream to begin with, but my mother told me about when I was a kid." Inuyasha said shyly. "But I don't know about the time when the sun was going to disappear as well." "It's call a solar eclipse. The moon is between the sun and the earth aligned to one another, and that's how the moon casts its shadow on different parts of the world. It's very rare for a solar to be seen in my world, but the moon is moving away from Earth, little by little." Kagome looked up to Inuyasha. "Do you feel something strange if any of these things happened?" Inuyasha looked to the fire. "I'm not really sure for myself. When we were at Mt. Hakurei looking for Naraku, I passed threw its barrier, when I got to the other side, I turned into a human." Kagome's eyes widen. "But I though you only turn human on the night of the New Moon. How could that be for you to be human when you passed Mt. Hakurei's Barrier?" Inuyasha answered, " It's a purifying barrier which made sense why demons like, Shippo, Kirara, and I were affected by its power. But since I'm half human, it turned me into that form." Kagome gets the feeling is mutual, but then again there may be other possibilities for Inuyasha to become a human other than the night of the New Moon. "Why didn't you tell me about it, Inuyasha?" Kagome said sadly looking down to the ground. "It's because I didn't want you to know more about the circumstances I was in. The Band of Seven was all humans and they were as deadly as the villages around the mountain said. I'm sorry I didn't tell you." Inuyasha said comforting Kagome to make her feel cared for.
Inuyasha feels that something was sucking blood out of his neck. Squished, and fell onto his was Myoga. "It's been a while Master Inuyasha." Myoga said in a nice mood voice. "Myoga what are you doing here anywhere?" Kagome asked. "I've come to warn you two." Myoga answered. "About what?" Kagome asked again. "Totosai sent me to let you two know that a solar eclipse is going to happen in this area next month. Inuyasha do you know what happens then?" Inuyasha confused what Myoga was talking. "No I don't really know, why?" Myoga explains, "You know you only turned human on the night of the new moon. Well let's just that there's a point in time that neither the sun and moon were gone for a short time." Inuyasha lost. "Get to the point already will you?" Myoga goes on, "When the moons casts it's shadow in the area, you'll turn into a human, but just a short while though." Inuyasha looked nervous. "Why didn't you tell me this, Myoga?" Myoga reasoned, "The fact is Inuyasha there have been solar eclipses all over the world, and it's very rare for it to be happening in this area." Inuyasha gets the picture. "That's what Kagome said earlier."
Kagome gets the ideas about the eclipse what does it have to do with Inuyasha though. "Kagome it's you who I'm worried about as well." Myoga said. "What do you mean by that?" Kagome asked confused. "The thing is that you'll gain a new kind of power to go along with your priestess powers." Myoga reasoned to her. "What kind of power will she get anyway?" Inuyasha asked. Myoga can't hold the secret any longer, "Inuyasha, it's going to hard for you to believe, but she'll become a half-demon like you." Kagome grasped for the secret Myoga told. "Myoga how could you do such a thing?" Inuyasha yelled at the tiny flea demon. "It's because I just found out about it okay." Myoga said. Kagome concerned about the information begins to worry about. "Inuyasha, what am I gonna tell the rest of the group?" Inuyasha assures her, "They'll have to know about it when daybreaks." As he puts his hand on her shoulder, Inuyasha must make sure that she'll be all right.
