Where the Moon Meets the Sun

by Aika-Yukiko

This was not what he expected. Yet how could he have expected anything other than the unexpected when it came to her? A single night of the forbidden had them both wishing for more, but what if more could cost you everything you have ever loved? Will they risk it in order to find happiness? Or will they bow down to the pressures of responsibilities, wondering what if? Sess/Kag

4:45 PM

Kaede greeted them warmly as they arrived at the village. They all sat down for a pleasant late lunch while Inuyasha waited, looking at the now disappearing sun, watching as it colored the trees with beautiful rays of warm orange, golden yellow and peaceful pink. As it set the clouds that followed them from the west moved in closer still. He could already smell the rain as it made its way towards them.

The friends shared stories of their travels with the aging village leader and she in turn supplied news of the village and its surrounding neighbors.

Inuyasha peeked in interrupting their story time.

"Kagome…" He said. "It's time to get going."

"Now?" She replied a little awestruck. "I can stay a few more hours, or I could just leave in the morning Inuyasha, I am not in any real rush."

"No, the faster you leave, the faster you come back." He stated unequivocally.

Kagome sighed but knew better than to argue with him. She was already happy he had even decided to let her go without a fight. She would not ruin this by fighting him about when she would be leaving.

"Fine." she sighed. "Let me just grab my things, I will meet you outside."

With that, Inuyasha stepped out of the hut, leaving Kagome to gather her things and say her farewells.

"Alright guys! Do you have the list of everything we needed?" She asked.

"Right here Lady Kagome." Miroku spoke up, waving his hand around and showing her the list.

"Great!" She grabbed the small piece of paper and slipped it into her thin, light blue, sweater that hung by the door. The days had been unseasonably cool, but required no more than some layering or a thin sweater. A rumbling noise brought her out of her thoughts as a flash of lightning lit up the little hut.

"Kagome, we better get going, it looks like it's about to start pouring cats and dogs!" Inuyasha had poked his head in to yell, she could already hear the roar of the not so distant rain.

"Going!" She answered.

.

With one last look around the hut, a quick hug to her friends, and a kiss on the head for her little fox kittling, Kagome pulled on her bright red rain jacket and raced out the hut, not waiting to see if Inuyasha was following.

As she ran, she felt his strong arm go around her and grab her waist. He kicked off the earth with astounding force and she felt them start to fly up. In just a few short moments they were at the well, the water pouring down heavily.

"I'll come to get you in 7 days!" he barked out over the loud sound of thunder and rain.

"Ok!" She echoed back. She quickly got on the ledge of the well and jumped down, waiting for the blue light to envelop her.
