Blue Moon

By Pyrimidon386

(A/N This is based shortly after when Inu is first transformed human and gets wounded. I don't own anything it is all Takahashi's.)

Inuyasha looked up at the half-moon. Only a few weeks to his next transformation but he wasn't worried, he had always handled it in the past. He'd only messed up last time because Kagome was in the way. If he went away on the day of the New Moon she'd be safe.

Wait. She'd be safe? Since when do I care about some human whelp?

Still, it was nice of her to protect me.

I don't need protection! Not from a human!

You have to admit, she's cute when she smiles. (Where had that thought come from?)

.I'm not admitting anything,

"Inuyasha!"

jerked out of his reverie the halfdogdemon hanyou turned to see the cause of his problem, Kagome Higurashi. She was very beautiful for a human at least. He felt a pang in his heart; her looks reminded him so much of Kikyo but she was so different. Even when they had been in love Kikyo had been cold and distant, not like how Kagome was always in his face. Like now.

"Here's some bandages, that thing hurt you pretty badly back there." The miko looked at him worriedly, offering him the bandages. He snarled, threw them to the ground and stood up.

"Are you stupid woman! I must have told you a hundred times I have a special body." He showed her his newly healed chest, and she nodded.

"I know, but I still worry about you. I was so scared back there." Scared? For him? No one…no one had been scared for him before. No one since his mother, and she was long dead.

"What why are you looking at me like that?" she asked curiously.

"Nothing, No reason. I'm okay, so you can go away and stop bothering me."

"Well! If that's how you see it then fine! I was WORRIED about you, you jerk! SIT!"

"AAAAAH" he yelled as he slammed into the ground and she stormed off in a huff. Damn girl. There was no doubt she would never be any more than an annoyance to him, an annoying weak human who could control him and it drove him crazy and it always would. He would always hate her and he was only in this for the Shikon no Tama, he did not care about her at all.

But she was cute when she smiled.
