Chapter 4: The Night Sky

By: Emiru the Metal Mononoke

Kagome gazed into the beautiful night sky above her. Billions of stars shone down upon her,

making her smile more radiant than ever. The wind was very soothing, it sang her a melancholy lullabye

that somehow soothed her soul. Her heart was racing with a newborn emotion, for she had never felt this

way before. She was nervous with anticipation, she was so excited and yet scared. Her heart was following

it's own path, not letting anyone get in the way of her soul. Love was such an odd emotion to Kagome,

she so yearned to feel it, yet... She didn't want to be in it. She feared for its resolution, what was going to

happen. She had found that one person she knew she loved more than life itself, yet she tried to escape

it. She looked down at her lover, her soul mate, his crimson black hair shining in the moonlight. She

could feel his heartbeat almost as well as she could feel her own. His breath was hot against her frail skin,

sending shivers up her spine. Tonight was the new moon.

Inu-Yasha quietly sat up, as Kagome let out an unheard sigh. 'Did I do anything wrong?' she

wondered to herself. Inu-Yasha slowly faced Kagome, and his violet eyes beautifully reflected the

night stars. "Kagome," he whispered, running his long fingers through her black hair. "Y-yes?" Kagome

answered, her voice trembling slightly. "I was just wondering... Do you like me better this way? I mean,

as a human?" Kagome was surprised by Inu-Yasha's question, but truthfully answered him. "Inu-Yasha,

I don't like you better either way. You're so beautiful all the time... And... well, I love you forever. No

matter what you look like, or what path you choose in the future. I swear that on my name, I will never

stop loving you." Inu-Yasha looked shocked, and almost embarrased by the girls response. "Kagome, I

never questioned your loving me, yet still... I wonder how you can read my mind like that."

Kagome giggled, she thought it was so cute when Inu-Yasha acted... Well, when he acted so

romantic. When she first met Inu-Yasha, she would have never in a million years dreamed how wonderful

and understanding he could be sometimes. I mean, sure, he was a jerk sometimes, but maybe that was

just his mask to hide his true feelings, and his somewhat constant sorrow of his past. Kagome knew quite

a bit about Inu-Yasha's childhood, that his mother died when he was young, and how his step-brother

looked down on him as if he were lower. Of course, Inu-Yasha technically was lower. He was a hybrid,

a mix. He was unique, though. As Inu-Yasha, being half human, often showed regular human emotions,

Kagome somehow found him more attractive. Sure, full demons had more strength, pinstripes on their

faces, and elf-like ears, but Inu-Yasha was unique, the only one of his kind.

Inu-Yasha looked over at Kagome, almost irritated by the expressions she was showing, dozing

off into silly daydreams. "Oi, Kagome... What's wrong," he asked Kagome as he noticed she was burying

her face in her hands. "Just thinking," she responded, finally back into reality. Inu-Yasha snorted," about

what?" Kagome blushed, and pressed her head onto Inu-Yasha's muscular chest, "about you." Inu-

Yasha drew back and blushed. "About ME? WHAT about me, exactly?" Kagome turned bright red and

looked at the ground, "about why I love you so much." Inu-Yasha looked shocked, "and why do you

love me?"

Kagome wrapped her frail arms abound his waist and kissed him dearly, closing her eyes and

slipping her tounge into his mouth. Inu-Yasha's eyes opened wide with shock as sweat ran down his face.

After a few minutes the kiss ended, leaving two very happy lovers. Kagome looked him straight in the

eye, and whispered, "because you're you."

reviewer. Heehee! PLEASE REVIEW! I beg you beg you! Give me ideas for the future of this story,
