Under the Pale Autumn Moon

---


Inuyasha was lead to his room by some servants and was told that breakfast would be served in a few hours. He sat on the bed and just looked out the window, sighing occasionally and feeling a sense of longing still bubbling in his insides.

He flopped down on the bed staring at the ceiling for a while before drifting off into an uneasy sleep.

About half an hour later, a sound awoke him, Inuyasha had always been known for his keen sense of smell, hearing, and sight, but this sound was something he'd never heard before.

He cracked open an eye to peer around the darkened room.

Nothing.

He grunted and turned over in his bed.

"Good morning!"

Inuyasha's eyes snapped wide open as he stared in disbelief at this girl that was sitting cross-legged on his bed. Alarmed he scurried backwards successfully knocking himself out of bed.

"Wha...What the fuck are you doing in my room? And my bed!" Inu- yasha stood wide-eyed at the girl who blinked in confusion.

"You can see me?" she asked softly, but Inuyasha's good hearing picked it up and he snarled.

"Yes! Only someone totally blind couldn't see you, you're sitting on my bed, you were right in front of my face! What the hell are you doing in my room?"

The girl smiled and stood, as if she were a fluid she jumped off his bed and stood in front of the boy who sat staring in disbelief.

"This is my room, I don't know what you're doing in here, but I've lived here for a long time."

"What the hell, this is the room Sango gave me!" Inuyasha snarled, growing impatient with the girl by the second.

"Sango doesn't know I live here," the girl sniffed and turned her head away.

"What the hell, you've been living here and no one knows? What kind of drugs are these people using, better yet, what kind of drugs are you using?"

The girl stuck her tongue out at him and flopped down onto his bed, "I don't know, I've never gotten the proper drug education, there all the same to me."

"So you do use drugs?"

"No! I'm just saying...never mind...I just don't use drugs, ok?"

"Whatever, get out of my room."

"I thought I just explained that I wasn't leaving! And that it's my room!"

"Well I like this room, and I've already unpacked so, yeah!" Inuyasha raised a hand to threaten her but she seemed unfazed.

"Oh yes it should be so hard to unpack two suitcases," she snapped, closing her eyes and shaking her head as if she pitied him.

"Well you've bitched me enough, bitch, I'm telling Sango that she has a little idiot living in her house without her knowledge."

"Go ahead, she'll think you're crazy."

"What?" Inuyasha turned around from the door he was about to open but the girl was gone, he was alone in the room.

Inuyasha sat down loudly in a chair next to Sango, much to her pestering, she kept talking about how she didn't want the cook to make up some excuse as to how he could sit near her.

Miroku, the cook, came strolling in with a huge irritated looking grin and set two plates covered by the silver lids onto the table, he bowed slightly and left the room to grab the other food entries.

Sango sighed and picked up her plate, she promptly grabbed Inuyasha's and switched them, as she glanced at his confused look she whispered, "You'll see."

Inuyasha shrugged it off and awaited the cook to come back.

He was faintly aware of people talking around him, but his mind kept drifting back to that girl in his room, where the hell did she go, and why was she such a bitch? She pissed him off a lot.

You could even say he hated her, even if he barely knew her.

"Inuyasha!" Inuyasha jumped and looked guiltily at his cousin, "are you even listening?"

"Sorry, still a little tired, ya know?" Inuyasha lied with the lamest excuse, but Sango fell for it and nodded.

Inuyasha lifted up his plate to reveal a bowl shaped like a heart and heart shaped pancakes, "What. The. Hell?"

Sango looked up from her oatmeal and smirked, "That's just Miroku confessing his undying love."

"To me?"

"No, I switched the plates, duh, Miroku is anything but a crooked."

"Err, ok," Inuyasha shrugged and started to walk upstairs, he was going to ask Sango about the girl in his room but decided against it, "I'll be upstairs if you need me for anything."

Sango nodded and continued to eat her oatmeal.
