Moonless Night. Chapter 11
A couple of days have gone by and everyone was getting excited for spring break. InuYasha and Kagome were sitting outside on InuYasha's porch swing, still figuring out where they wanted to go for vacation.
"What do you think, we should do?" Kagome asked, scratching her head.
"I have two ideas." InuYasha said, rubbing his chin.
"Well. What are they?" Kagome asked, looking at InuYasha.
"We can either go camping on Snake Mountain, or we can go to the beach." InuYasha said.
"Both ideas sound really fun..." Kagome said
"Let's run it by Miroku and Sango when we see them." InuYasha said, wanting to get off the stressing subject.
"Yeah." Kagome said, sighing.
"So what do you want to do now, Kagome?" InuYasha asked.
"I don't know. Miroku and Sango are out doing something at the mall." Kagome said.
"Do you want to go to the mall then?" InuYasha asked.
"Nahh.. I'm content with just sitting here and enjoying the weather with you." Kagome said.
"Me too." InuYasha said, smiling and grabbing Kagome's hand.
Just then, Syverya ran up to InuYasha's house looking really panicked about something.
"There you are!" Syverya exclaimed.
"Syv, what's going on?" InuYasha asked, jumping off of the swing.
"Miroku… Sango… at the mall… trouble!" Syverya exclaimed, gasping for air.
"What?! Kagome let's go!" InuYasha shouted and Kagome jumped on his back. InuYasha and Kagome sped off, leaving Syverya behind.
"Son of a…" Syverya, sighed, taking off and following InuYasha.
They arrived at the mall and found Miroku and Sango. Miroku looked pretty bruised up and Sango was tending to his wounds.
"Damn that guy…" Miroku sighed.
"Miroku, he is gone now. Don't stress about it." Sango stated.
"Is that… InuYasha, Kagome and Syverya?" Miroku asked, squinting his eyes in the direction of the speeding hanyous.
"Yeah… Wonder what they are doing here." Sango said, thinking they had smelled Miroku's blood.
"Miroku! Are you okay?" InuYasha shouted as he arrived to them.
"Yeah. I'm fine man." Miroku said.
"What happened?" Kagome asked, jumping off of InuYasha's back and rushing over to Sango.
"Some guy came out of nowhere and just attacked Sango and me..." Miroku said.
"Some guy just attacked you…. For no reason…? InuYasha asked.
"Yeah… I have no clue who he was… I have never seen him before..." Miroku said, annoyed.
"What did he look like?" InuYasha asked.
"He had long black hair. He was about as tall as Miroku. And he wore black pants with a purple hoodie." Syverya butted in.
"Why didn't you help Miroku?" InuYasha asked, squinting at Syverya.
"By the time I arrived to help him, the attacker just vanished…" Syverya said, squinting back at InuYasha.
"So he was a demon." Kagome said.
"More than likely…" Miroku and InuYasha said.
"He looked familiar… I have seen him like once or twice before. He has a face that I can't forget. I can't help but feel like he followed me here…" Syverya said, trying to remember.
"So why would he attack Miroku?" InuYasha asked, irritated.
"I don't know." Syverya said.
"Let's get you home where you're safe." Kagome said, helping Miroku to his feet.
"Syv, come with us. We may need you." Sango said.
"Okay." Syverya said.
They all walked back to InuYasha's house, cautiously. They arrived, to their relief, with no trouble. They all went inside and sat in the living room.
"Hey InuYasha… I just thought of something." Syverya said.
"Yeah? What is it?" InuYasha said, looking at Syverya.
"If he followed me back and attacked Miroku, do you think that maybe… he is trying to get to you?" Syverya said.
"If he wanted me, he would have come after me." InuYasha said.
"Well yeah, but he was a possible demon. If that is the case, he could have more sinister intentions." Syverya said.
"I'd hate to admit it, but Syverya is right, InuYasha. If he is indeed a demon then he will do the most horrific things to emotionally wound his main prey." Miroku said.
"How do you know so much about this?" Kagome asked, looking at Miroku in confusion.
"Yeah... How..?" InuYasha asked, looking at Miroku the same.
"Well, Sango's family used to study demonology. She knows about a lot of demons so she has been teaching me." Miroku stated.
"Oh. I didn't know that." InuYasha said.
"Yeah. We have kind of kept is a secret for a while." Sango said.
"Have you learned anything about demons like me and Syv?" InuYasha asked, nervously.
"No. why?" Sango asked.
"Just a little curious." InuYasha said, shooting Syverya a look.
"Oh, InuYasha, we have a thing that we need to do tonight." Syverya said, looking at InuYasha in displeasure.
"Shit… Is that tonight?" InuYasha said, pushing his bangs over his head, sighing.
"Yeah..." Syverya said.
"What's going on tonight?" Kagome asked.
"Tonight is the night of a new moon... That means that half demons like me and Syv lose our demon powers for the entire night and turn into humans." InuYasha said, looking out the window.
"Wow… Really?" Kagome asked.
"Yeah… We can't protect you guys tonight." InuYasha said, sighing.
"Well it is Friday. We have another movie night tonight." Sango said.
"Oh yeah." InuYasha said.
"Syverya, you should join us tonight." Miroku insisted.
"I don't know guys. I don't want to be a burden." Syverya said.
"Oh hush… You wouldn't be a burden. You're joining us tonight and that's final." Kagome insisted.
"Okay, okay." Syverya said laughing.
"So what will we watch tonight? Let's let Syverya choose." Said InuYasha
"Hmmm. How about we watch a 'Courage the cowardly dog' marathon." Syverya said, laughing.
"That's actually not a bad idea." InuYasha said, laughing back at him.
"You're serious?" Syverya asked, shocked.
"Hell yeah!" InuYasha exclaimed.
"Alright then. I'll go get my DVD." Syverya said, dashing out the door quickly.
The sun was nearly set all the way and there was still no sign of Syverya. They all started to get worried. InuYasha was pacing around the living room cursing under his breath. Suddenly, Syverya burst through the door, exhausted.
"What the hell man! Where were you?! You took forever!" InuYasha shouted.
"Relax dammit! I had to find the DVD." Syverya shouted back.
"Both of you sit, and enjoy the night." Kagome said, pointing to the couch.
"Okay, fine." They both said, sitting down.
They sat there for about 5 minutes in silence before Miroku finally spoke up and broke it.
"So… Syverya, this is a good show." Miroku said, sarcastically.
"Oh! I forgot to put it in." Syverya said, rubbing the back of his head, embarrassed.
Everyone burst out laughing at Syverya's mistake.
"I'll put it in." Kagome said, getting up from her seat and putting the DVD in the Xbox and turning it on.
"InuYasha… look…" Syverya said, pointing out the window.
"Yeah…" InuYasha said, watching the sun disappear.
Just then, both InuYasha and Syverya, both transformed into humans. Their dog ears on the tops of their heads had disappeared and they acquired human ears. Their fangs and claws retracted and InuYasha's hair changed to black and his eyes changed to a chocolate brown. Syverya's hair and eyes stayed the same color. The others watched the transformation in wonderment.
"InuYasha… Syverya… You two are human now." Miroku stated.
"Yeah. No shit, sir obvious." InuYasha said back to Miroku.
"Sir obvious..?" Miroku questioned.
"It kinda sounds like Simba's mother's name in the lion king." Syverya stated. Everyone started to laugh.
"I think I'll watch Courage now." Miroku said, turning away from InuYasha and Syverya, who were laughing so hard at Syverya's comparison, they have fallen on the floor.
"Hey. Can you two mature up a little?" Kagome asked, giggling and shaking her head.
"It's these damn human emotions… they are so much stronger then demon emotions." Syverya stated.
"Right…" Kagome said, forgetting that her boyfriend and his friend were originally demons.
'How could I forget that they are demons? What's wrong with me?' Kagome thought to herself.
"Hey Kagome, what's up?" Sango whispered to Kagome.
"I forgot that InuYasha and Syverya are demons…" Kagome said, full of shame.
"Don't let that bother you. They are idiots now and they are idiots when they are demons too." Sango said.
"Are you talking about us?" InuYasha asked, looking carefully at Kagome.
"Nope." They both answered quickly.
"Feh." Both InuYasha and Syverya said.
Miroku had his attention turned towards the movie, not paying any attention to the guys and girls, when he noticed something across the street. He drew his attention to the window and focused on the spot that had moved.
"Someone is here." Miroku said, glaring out the window.
"What do you mean?" Sango asked, jumping up.
"I saw that bush out there move around quite a bit." Miroku said, not breaking his concentration.
"I'll go check it out." InuYasha said, springing to his feet.
"InuYasha… Sit!" Kagome shouted, scaring the ever living hell out of everyone there.
"What the hell!" InuYasha yelled, flinching.
"Sorry… But you are only human and if it's something that is intending on harming you, I would never forgive myself if you got hurt…" Kagome said, hugging InuYasha.
"Oh how cute." Syverya said, poking InuYasha in the shoulder.
"Shut up." InuYasha said.
"I'll go check it out." Sango said, getting up and opening the door.
Just then, the thing that Miroku saw was positioning itself for a charge attack and Miroku noticed.
"Sango close the door!" Miroku screamed as the black shadow darted at her.
Sango slammed the door and heard the scratching at the door from the thing that charged at her.
"What the hell is that thing?!" InuYasha exclaimed, standing up and getting ready for a fight.
The scratching stopped, Miroku went to InuYasha's room to grab something to use as a weapon in case the thing broke in. Miroku found a curtain rod. He picked it up and rushed down stairs and stood behind everyone.
"Open the door." Miroku said as everyone turned and looked at him in disbelief.
"What… Miroku you can't be ser…" Sango said, getting cut off.
"Sango, open the door." Miroku said, getting into a batters stance.
"Okay…" Sango said, sighing.
"When she opens the door, everybody get behind me." Miroku instructed.
They all nodded and Sango swung the door open and everyone rushed behind Miroku. The thing emerged from the bushes and walked into the lit road before charging at Miroku. It had the head of a human, body of an eel and arms like scythes. Its hair was silver and its entire body was only about 2 feet tall. It took off at a full sprint towards Miroku. Miroku swung at it with a devastating blow, knocking it to the ground when it got to him. He then forced the spiked rod thru the demons sternum, killing it within seconds.
"There. Problem solved." Miroku said, leaning the pole on the wall and throwing the demon in the garbage can.
"Wow… I didn't know Miroku was so fierce…" Kagome said, wide eyed.
"He only stepped up because we don't know how to fight as humans and he was the only other guy here." InuYasha stated.
"Whatever you say, InuYasha." Miroku said, sitting on the couch and stretching.
"That was unusual…" Syverya stated, sitting on the other couch next to InuYasha and Kagome.
"You're telling me… Miroku kicked ass." InuYasha said, snickering.
"Hey!" Miroku shouted.
They all broke out laughing and went on to watch the rest of season 1 of Courage the cowardly dog. About 3 quarters of the way thru, everyone had fallen asleep. Since InuYasha and Syverya are only human, they couldn't keep themselves awake so they passed out too. They did not notice the figure standing out on the porch, looking at them thru the window.
"So, you are human. How unfortunate… I cannot kill you now, but I will later." The figure said, walking off the porch and disappearing in the night.
Sesshomaru showed up just after the figure left. He smelt it in the air, demons blood. He rushed inside to see everyone lying on the floor. He thought they were dead. He had tears in his eyes. Just then, InuYasha woke up from all of the commotion.
"Can you be a little quieter next time you barge in?" InuYasha said, grumpily.
Sesshomaru just looked at him and walked away without saying a word. He didn't show it, but he was extremely grateful that his brother and his friends were safe.
The next morning came around and InuYasha and Syverya woke up before sunrise. They just looked at each other and grinned.
"Almost time." InuYasha said, grinning.
"Yup!" Syverya exclaimed, stretching and letting out other various noises.
"Hey, be quiet." InuYasha hissed.
"Sorry." Syverya said, smiling and scratching the back of his head as he sat up.
InuYasha and Syverya had turned back into demons just as the sun peaked over the horizon.
"Finally. I feel so much stronger!" InuYasha exclaimed.
"Yeah, now we don't have to get upstaged by a lecher." Syverya said, pointing to Miroku, who was passed out and was half on and half off the couch.
"I can make a field goal attempt with his head right now." InuYasha said, snickering.
"You wouldn't dare!" Someone said from behind InuYasha.
Kagome and Sango had stood up with serious looks plastered on their faces.
"If looks could kill…" Syverya said, inching away from the girls.
"We would have died a long time ago." InuYasha said, moving out of their sight and disappearing in the kitchen.
"Sango, wake Miroku up and I'll get breakfast started." Kagome said, walking to the kitchen.
"Okay, Kagome." Sango said, walking to where Miroku was and kicking him in the forehead.
"Wake up. It's breakfast time." Sango said.
"Okay, okay, I'm up." Miroku said scratching his eyes.
He walked in the kitchen to see everyone sitting down, getting ready to discuss spring break. He joined them in the conversation and they decided where they wanted to go and Syverya was also gunna tag along on this trip with his mate.
