Chapter 4: Half demon Half Human.
" I-I'm a what!" InuYasha shook out, his eyes widening.
" You are only half though, the demon side won't effect you much." InuTaisho said.
" Why did I never know?" InuYasha asked.
" Because, we didn't want to tell you at your age, we really didn't want to tell you now, but, when Sesshomaru went to get you, I felt an electical shock feeling come in my body, and I knew that it was your demon side calling to mine." InuYasha's father said.
" Does... Does Anaya know?" InuYasha asked.
Anaya was his new best friend.
He didn't want to keep secrets from her.
" Yes she does, she's secret safe with us." Izayoi said.
" Sesshomaru, you have anything to add?" InuTaisho asked.
" No." He said simply, and walked off.
" InuYasha, why don't you go back and sit with Anaya while we talk." Izayoi said.
InuYasha nodded, and went back into the kitchen where the table was.
He sat down silently, picking at his chicken that was now cold on his plate.
" Is everything... Alright?" Anaya asked, shyly.
" Yes, they finally told me... What I am. Does it scare you?" InuYasha asked worriedly.
" You're... Demon side? No, Lady Izayoi told me not be afraid of you, it would just make you feel bad." Anaya said.
" Well, I don't mind to know if you are or not, now that I know what I am." InuYasha said.
" No, I am not scared of you, InuYasha, even before Lady Izayoi told me, I always thought of you as this... Lonely, Vulnerable... Cute..." Anaya blushed a little, " kid."
" I know, I'm cute because of my stupid ears aren't I?" InuYasha said, rubbing them nervously.
Anaya shook her head, " No, it's just all about you InuYasha, I like everything about you, and don't you let anyone insult your pride into being a demon."
" What if I don't WANT to be a demon?" InuYasha asked.
" InuYasha, it's ok to be scared of what you are, I'll help you through this, I promise, your my best friend now." Anaya smiled.
InuYasha smiled back.
When bedtime came, InuYasha watched as Anaya got on the family couch, and laid down, under the blanket that was provided.
He walked up to her quietly.
" What are you doing on the couch?" InuYasha asked.
This was his first time he had ever seen her spend the night in the house.
She jumped up.
" Oh, InuYasha, it's you." She whispered.
" Sorry, I... Uh, Lady Izayoi let me stay the night since it was so late." Anaya said.
" You mean you..." InuYasha froze when a realization hit him, " Are you an orphan?" He asked.
Anaya was about to try and cover up the evidence and shake her head no, but... He was her best friend.
Slowly, she nodded.
" How come I never knew?" InuYasha asked.
" Lady Izayoi was afraid of what you might feel, if I had stayed here, so she let me wander around during the day, and let me sleep here at night." Anaya said.
" Wait, did my mom think I Might feel... Jealous?" InuYasha asked.
Anaya nodded again.
" I wouldn't be jealous, Anaya, I am sorry you... Lost your family." InuYasha said.
" It's ok... Can I please go to sleep now?" Anaya asked, not looking in his eyes.
It was silent for a minute, and Anaya felt his hand wrap around her arm, and she was tugged off the couch, lead by InuYasha.
" What are you doing?" Anaya asked, as she tried to walk fast behind him.
" You sleep in my bed tonight, I'll take the couch." InuYasha said.
Anaya didn't want to argue. Not with her best friend.
They tiptoed past Sesshomaru's room, and next was InuYasha's room.
His bed was neatly made, with a few pillows.
" Here." InuYasha released Anaya's hand, and set up the bed for her.
" InuYasha, you don't have to do this." Anaya said surprized.
" Well, I am." InuYasha said in a laughing voice.
Anaya walked foward and got in his bed.
A deep sigh released, OH MY GOD IT WAS COMFY!
" Goodnight Anaya." InuYasha said, as he walked out the door, heading for the couch.
" good..." Anaya didn't get any further, she buried herself in the comfortable soft covers, and her eyes dropped, falling into a deep sleep.
