Title: Silence Is Golden

Chapter Eight: Stealth

--

Sayuri paced as Kagome did one-hundred push ups. Sayuri babbled on and on as she paced,

"I can't believe you wasted a whole day of training yesterday!"

"….98...99...100." counted Sango, finishing the counting for Kagome.

Kagome stood up and shook her arms, she was seriously burning up in the clothing she was wearing. Izayoi asked,

"Why are you wearing such heavy clothing Kagome? You're going to pass out soon enough."

"Yes," nodded Sayuri, stopping her babbling. "Why 'are' you wearing heavy clothing?"

Sango glanced quickly at Kagome, then back to Sayuri and Izayoi. Sayuri gasped,

"Did you meet up with Inuyasha last night!"

"It wasn't my intentions to meet him! I just wanted to be alone…then he came. On his own." blurted Kagome, defending herself.

Sayuri walked up to her, and crossed her arms. Kagome sighed and took the kimono top off. A black tank top underneath. The mark was like it had been last night. A red mark.

She gasped,

"One more stage and you'll-

"What!" yelled Kagome bewildered. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! One more stage! I thought I was on stage three!"

Sayuri crossed her arms, "You 'were' I'm guessing you were a little to late dear."

"I can't believe this!" gasped Kagome.

Izayoi smiled, "Just don't meet with him, unless it's the full moon. Problem solved. We need to hurry. The hours are going by quickly."

"Right." nodded Kagome, getting focused.

Full Moon Night-Month Later

"How has your training been going?" asked Inuyasha, whom leaned against a tree trunk.

She shrugged, "Fine, you?"

"Fine, other then Sesshomaru torturing me. He has his own daughter to do all of that." grumbled Inuyasha.

Kagome smiled, "Stop whining. We need all the practice we can get."

"Yeah." nodded Inuyasha, his face softening a fraction. "I've missed you."

Kagome smiled softly at him, "I've missed you too."

"I'm sorry about…you know." apologized Inuyasha.

Kagome walked up to him and put a hand on his cheek,

"It's okay. We just can't see each other before the full moon anymore, it isn't safe."

"I know." smirked Inuyasha. "It's hard to hold myself back from your scent. I smell it every day."

Kagome laughed. "Obsessed much?"

"Keh!" snorted Inuyasha.

Kagome rose on her tip-toes and kissed him on the lips. She smiled,

"I love you."

"I love you too." replied Inuyasha.

He leaned down and captured her lips. This kiss wasn't hungry, nor exotic. It felt…right. Kagome felt thrill shock threw her veins. She wrapped her arms around his neck, and pulled him closer. Never before had he kissed her this way.

It was just so…gentle. Inuyasha pulled away and pushed the bangs from her face. Kagome smiled,

"What's changed with you? You seem so…nonviolent right now."

"Sure you aren't imagining stuff?" asked Inuyasha, feeling weird himself.

Kagome shook her head, "No, I'm not."

There was a long silence. They stared into each other's eyes. The silence rung loudly in their ears. It felt comfortable. Kagome whispered,

"I feel funny."

"Yeah." replied Inuyasha, pulling away. "I better go."

Kagome hugged him, "A little longer."

He smiled, and sat on the ground. Kagome sat in his lap, laying her head on his chest. She asked,

"Do you think…."

"Think what?" asked Inuyasha, glaring at the moon.

She didn't notice and went on, "Do you think that is why we feel this way. Do you it's time?"

"No," mumbled Inuyasha, knowing inside he agreed, "it isn't safe."

Kagome nodded, "You're right."

He looked at her face then back up at the starry sky. It seemed to be getting lighter. Inuyasha huffed,

"Dawn's coming. I need to head back."

"Why are you in such a hurry to get back?" frowned Kagome, standing up.

Inuyasha stood, "I don't want to hear Father, he told me not to stay so long. It's almost dawn."

"Well fine!"

He sighed, then rolled her eyes, "Fine."

"Don't count on me coming back next time." grumbled Kagome, crossing her arms.

Inuyasha rolled his eyes, "You're overreacting."

"No I'm not." glared Kagome. "I know you feel the same way, Inuyasha."

Inuyasha looked into her eyes, "We can't Kagome. Not now."

"I know, but I want to stay here with you. They can wait." pouted Kagome, looking at him with puppy eyes.

Inuyasha groaned, "Alright, but if we aren't able to see each other until the war. It's your fault."

Kagome skipped over to him, and hugged him around the waist.

At A Cave

"What now Naraku?" asked Kagura.

He smirked, "Sum up as many demons as you can."

"Will that be all?" asked Kagura.

He smirked in the dim light, "Find the witch, and enchant them on the next full moon."

"What exactly are you planning Naraku?"

Naraku chuckled, "This war will not take place for a while, I'm afraid."

She looked into his blood red eyes, and saw the sinister in them. She nodded,

"Fine."

"Were you going to deny?" he asked, a smirk still on his face.

Kagura put her hand over her chest, "I don't know what you're planning Naraku, but I'm sure it'd be interesting to watch."

His smirk widened as she turned and left. Kanna stood in the corner. Naraku looked over at her,

"Let me see it now."

Kanna walked up to him and got on her knees. The mirror in her arms blurred over. Naraku's grin widened at the picture before him.
