Under the Pale Autumn Moon

---


Inuyasha slumped down onto his couch that sat in front of the TV in his room. He'd never stopped to look around, now that he thought about it, but it really was a huge room, almost as big as his old house he used to live in before the accident.

He shrugged to himself.

"Stupid."

Inuyasha jumped and cursed himself for not hearing the girl come up behind him, "What the hell do you want?"

The girl rolled her eyes, "Well aren't you Mr. Social and fun...who spit in your food this morning?"

"Leave me alone," he grumbled and turned away, he tried his hardest to ignore the girl. After a few moments of silence, Inuyasha thought that maybe she'd left.

Suddenly, he felt a weight on his head and looked across the room at the mirror hanging on the wall. The girl was sitting cross-legged on his head!

"What the hell?" he yelled at her, but she only crossed her arms and stuck her nose into the air, "Get off!"

"No can do, you see, I'll only get off if you promise to leave my room."

"This isn't your room you idiot, I live here now!" he growled at the girl and tried to fling her off but failed.

"Now, now, that's no way to talk to a lady!"

"You're no lady..."Inuyasha muttered.

"Now that wasn't really nice, are you implying that I'm a man?" she leaned over the side of his head and met her deep blue-gray eyes with his violet ones.

"Go the hell away." He grumbled as he tried to knock her off his head.

The girl tutted and shook her head, "No can do, I like this room!"

"I hate you," he growled and made a swipe for her again, but she jumped, did a back flip and landed perfectly on his bed.

"You're very impolite, you know that," she giggled as he growled again, "you sound like a dog."

"Shut up," he said as he threw a pillow at her. The girl just stood there, her eyes turned hazy and as the pillow made contact, it went right through her, the girl appearing to be translucent, "What the hell?"

The girl blinked and returned to her solid form, she smiled and held up a peace-sign, "Now, now, such language!"

Inuyasha stood petrified in fear, "What...what are you?"

The girl blinked, "Me?"

Inuyasha stared but still appeared to be freaked, "Who....?"

"Hm?"

"Who do you think you are?"

"Kagome," the girl smiled and jumped off the bed, she floated in mid-air and gazed down at him, giggling at his bewildered expression.

"That's not what I meant..." Inuyasha stood up suddenly, "you're really freaking me out, I'm so out of here!"

"Bye, bye," Kagome waved from her mid-air position and watched as he slammed the door behind him. Her eyes saddened as she looked out the window, "Will he ever understand?"
