Under the Pale Autumn Moon

---


Inuyasha stormed down the staircase searching franticly for Sango. There was no way in hell that girl was going to continue to live in his room as long as he was living under this roof. Plus that girl was totally unnatural... 'Like me...'. He cursed himself for letting himself drift, he fingered his rosary, the one thing that contained him.

He slammed open a door and stood in the doorway, searching the room for Sango. All he found were two maids making out. He slammed the door quickly.

"This house is so fucked," he said to himself as he continued to bang doors open. (After he knocked though)

He continued to search rooms, sometimes banging mercilessly for a couple of minutes until he felt a weight on his head. Inuyasha's eyes twitched, "what the hell are you doing on my head! Get off!"

Maids that were passing by gave him odd looks like he was talking to himself. Inuyasha growled like a dog and swiped at Kagome.

"Such bad aim for someone of your skills," Kagome waved a finger at him, making him growl once again, he was slightly confused about what she just said but shrugged it off.

He backed away from the door and moved forward down the hall, trying his hardest to ignore the girl on his head, though it wasn't that easy.

Kagome yawned and knocked his forehead with her knuckles, for being someone who could turn translucent at will, she could hit hard.

"Damn it, leave me alone!"

"Inuyasha?" Inuyasha jumped and turned guiltily at Sango who has been sitting on a chair in front of a fire, "who are you talking too?"

"You're kidding right? Can't you see her?" Inuyasha said pointing to Kagome, who whistled happily.

Sango raised an eyebrow, "You're pointing to air, Inuyasha, are you feeling ill? Come with me and I'll find a place for you to lie on."

Miroku entered the room and heard the last bit of Sango's suggestion. With muffled laughter, he hid his amusement through a series of coughs.

Sango glared at him, "Miroku, stop being a moron."

"Sorry Sango-Sama, but really, are you so desperate as to sleep with your cousin when you have me?" Miroku asked as he flexed his muscles, trying to look manly, besides the fact he was wearing a very girlish apron.

Sango and Inuyasha quirked an eyebrow, "Really Miroku," Sango said, calmly, dangerously calm, the kind of calm before a storm, "I'd rather sleep with my insane cousin than with you."

Miroku clasped his heart like he'd been stabbed, "Sango-Sama I'm hurt, why would you do such a thing to Inuyasha-Sama?"

Sango suddenly arose, holding her chair above her head and chucked it at Miroku, who stood in surprise before being plummeted to the ground in a large yelp.

Kagome cracked up on his head.

"Shut up, it isn't funny!" Inuyasha yelled as he pointed a finger at Kagome's reflection in the side mirror.

Sango and Miroku stared at Inuyasha. Inuyasha paused in his ranting to look back with an equally confused look, "Sango, you can't see her?"

"Who?"

"The girl on my head?" Inuyasha said pointing to Kagome who only smiled in a smug manner.

Sango shook her head and got up to leave, "Inuyasha, you really need some sleep, go to your room, and I don't want to see you until dinner, understand? I don't like you seeing people who aren't there! It's unhealthy, I understand that you're a little depressed after what happened, but really, go to your room, now!"

Inuyasha let him be pushed up the stairs and shoved into his room. He stood on the other side of the door, leaning on it for support.

"Am I crazy?" he asked himself.

"Nah, you're just the only one who can see me, congratulations!" Kagome jumped off his head and landed gracefully on his bed, "We can be friends now!"

Inuyasha banged his head against his wall and groaned, "No, no, no, no, no, no, thanks to you my cousin and her perverted cook think that I'm crazy. Why am I the only one who can see you, and what are you? I want answers now!"

Kagome smiled sadly and looked out the window, "A simple human such as yourself wouldn't understand."

"Try me, there's a lot of me you don't know about," Inuyasha growled, but wasn't about to reveal to the strange girl that he wasn't all human.

Kagome sighed and then opened her mouth, her pink tongue emerging to wet her lips. Another sigh escaped her as she collected her thoughts. Should she tell him?
