Beneath the Moon's Grasp
Chapter 1
He didn't want her, he didn't care if it sounded mean or not but he didn't want the attachment he felt for her, the pull he hated it- this feeling of weakness. He liked to fight to rip the heads off demons, tear them to shreds feel their blood ooze between his claws. He did not like to sit and spill his guts, his most hidden thoughts to her, Yet every night he found himself sitting in the same place telling her his innermost thoughts and he couldn't stop.
Twenty days ago it had begun and twenty days ago he had formed a bond with Sango and he just couldn't shake it. He wanted to laugh at the irony of it all, that he could share his innermost thoughts and desired the presence of a demon slayer, someone trained to hunt and eliminate his kind.
Yet every night he met her under the moon, and every night he gave her a part of himself he had never given anyone else. Kikyou and Kagome two names that bought on different thoughts, and feelings but they both shared something in common besides their souls, they both shared his love. He knew he cared deeply for them, Kikyou his past love and Kagome his future love and he dreaded the day he would have to make a decision. Now he wasn't even sure there was a decision to make, his youkai may have already made it for him.
He had never despised his youkai heritage he reveled in it and couldn't wait until they completed the jewel so he could fully become what he felt fate had denied him. Yet he was completely unprepared for that night twenty days ago when his youkai had put its complete trust in her, when it let her into his soul, and mind and when it had decided she would be his.
The new moon was not a great time for him, it was a time of too many memories and reminders and also a time where he the leader was helpless and although he would never admit it out loud it bothered him.
He climbed his usual tree and he sat as he waited for his power and heritage to disappear, for him to become human, for him to become just another man. He felt his youkai drain and he couldn't help but grasp onto a branch as he felt his powers slip away. It was like his soul had split into two and he wondered if this was how Kikyou and Kagome felt all the time.
He looked up at the moon as it seemed to taunt him as it hung unusually large and bright commanding his attention. It was then he felt the first drops of rain yet he continued to sit as lighting flashed across the sky and as little droplets began to fall from the sky.
He was just about to hop down and head for cover when he heard a rustling, and deep inside he hoped it wasn't Naraku or a demon. Even though he knew he could put up a better fight than the average man he knew he would be no match for any type of demon at that moment.
He was surprised when he saw her come through the trees and for a moment he wondered if maybe she had been possessed again as she calmly walked through the night. He finally decided to say something to her because he hated the way she was looking at him with that look of pity and shock as if she didn't know about his transformation.
She responded in true Sango fashion refusing to give him any answers but plenty of attitude and maybe if it had been under different circumstance he would have chuckled but he literally felt heavy. Instead he turned and begin to walk away hoping she would do the same and return back to the village. To his dismay she entered the cave with him and took a seat across from him and now he was sure she was possessed.
As he sat he recalled glancing at the moon and then he felt it a tug, he couldn't describe it but it felt like his youkai was seeping back into his body but he knew that was impossible. Glancing back at the moon he felt it again but much stronger and he knew something wasn't right. She shouldn't be here she needed to go so he tried to speak to her to tell her to go back to the village instead he confessed he felt weak.
Her eyes flew to his in shock and he felt his own eyes widen at his omission. He didn't understand what the hell had happened he wasn't going to say that. He stood abruptly to his feet and he watched as she followed suit. "Inuyasha are you ok," he heard her ask as he felt the pull again. "I…No," he admitted as he sat back down holding his head.
"I can go for Miroku," she started to stand but paused when he grabbed her by the wrist yanking her back to the ground, "No," he shouted before releasing her arm. "Stay, stay with me." She nodded and he could see the worry in her eyes and then he heard her gasp.
"Inuyasha your eyes… their gold" he heard her whisper in shock as she glanced back at the full moon. He looked over at the moon also and he felt that pull again but this time he felt himself slipping away.
When he awoke he instantly felt out of place, the ground was beneath him and as he adjusted to his surroundings he wondered how he had ended up in a cave. It wasn't that which startled him though its was the form sleeping next to him.
He could recognize Sango's hakama anywhere but why the hell was she there. He didn't know how to wake her, she wasn't Kagome he couldn't just nudge her. What the hell he thought as he gave her a small push. She groaned before turning around her back facing him and he felt his mouth dry up and his brain stop.
On Sango's shoulder above her torn hakama lay two small puncture wounds. In disbelieve he stood to his feet looking around, he couldn't have done it, how could he, deep inside he knew he had.
He had marked Sango.
Wow where I have I been, under a rock… sorry I've yet to finish my other story, life had been? Hectic
