ENJOY!!

Announcer- Last Time: -" InuYasha fell to the forest ground, bleeding freely from a wound is his lower abdomen. His eyes wide and slightly unfocused, his mouth full of dirt. A hot, searing pain creeping up his spine, slowly traveling throughout his body. "You're lucky I decided not to kill you…yet." A cold voice from above spoke. And though InuYasha's vision was blurring and he would soon be faint, he knew that voice anywhere…"

Deception (part 1)

"Sesshoumaru…" InuYasha wheezed out into the dirt. "Ahhh…little brother. Nice seeing you again, eh?" Sesshoumaru grabbed InuYasha by the hair and lifted him up to the point where his feet dangled an inch above the ground. "I can see you haven't changed at all InuYasha. I heard your little speech…it was…'heart-warming'. Too bad the girl will never hear it…" Sesshoumaru looked at InuYasha with disgust evident in his features. "Look at yourself! Whining over this…human has done nothing but left you in an unbearably vulnerable state!" InuYasha slowly focused his eyes and locked them onto Sesshoumaru's. "You haven't changed either Nii-san. Still after the Shikon no Tama? If you are then you're wasting your time! There is no way that you can steal the shards from me when I have the Tetsusaiga…" InuYasha coughed and worked up a ball of saliva in his mouth before spitting it in Sesshoumaru's face. "You Ouji!" Sesshoumaru easily wiped his face of the…disgusting residue and kicked InuYasha where his sword once pierced his skin.

"AAAAAAAH! DARN YOU!!" InuYasha whimpered in pain. "You disgust me with your childish antics!! For you information my search for the Shikon shards is on hiatus! I have other reasons to spend time with my little brother." Sesshoumaru grinned strangely at InuYasha. "Feh…what do you want with me this time Sesshoumaru. Do you need me to beat up some bully that won't give you back your lunch money?" InuYasha ended that comment with a snicker…which didn't please Sesshoumaru. He slowly walked towards him and picking InuYasha by the neck and held him up to eye level. InuYasha began to make some choking noises, spitting out a drop of saliva here or there. "You don't deserve to have youkai blood running through your veins…" Sesshoumaru's fist tightened at this point. "That is why I came. I realized that you…a lowly hanyou, don't deserve to have our father's youkai blood in your body. Then I turned to Jaken. He informed me that there is a way to perform the task of removing your demon…" InuYasha's eyes grew fearful. A human…forever? He had nothing against humans and was even considered becoming a human at one point but he could barely stand the humiliation of how weak he was whenever there was a new moon. Kagome. How would Kagome deal with it? She is yet to see him human. "S-Sesshoumaru…y-you wouldn't…you c-can't…" "I can and I will. It is simple really, all you have to do is sit quietly…" Sesshoumaru sent his claws piercing into the skin on InuYasha's neck and tightened his grip immensely. His eyes began to glow and electricity shot through his arm, engulfing both him and InuYasha in a wave of blue electricity. None of this effected Sesshoumaru thou, why should it?

"SESSHOUMARU!!" InuYasha screamed out in pain and agony. His hair soon became black and the ear on the top of his head seemed to vanish. A few more surges of blue electricity shot up Sesshoumaru's arm before he dropped InuYasha's limp form to the ground. "Stupid human-loving hanyou. You finally got what you deserved. Though I must say, it should be considered an honor to merge with a being such as I. To be transformed from the sun, into the everlasting moon…" Sesshoumaru then disappeared just as Shippo, who had found his way to bushes near the scene long enough to see what had happened to InuYasha, had gone to get help.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

A/N: Well that surely was interesting. InuYasha…a human? And his youkai, once pure…gone evil. Merged with the everlasting…yet, never constant moon. That was part 1 of Deception. Part 2 is the sequel to chapter 2. The mysterious shape of a moonlight reflection.

Deception (part 2)

"Everything in Japan these days seems to bring me back to the Feudal times." Kagome whispered gently. She gazed at the silver glow of the full moon before casting her eyes back to the stream. But, when she sought the moon's reflection it wasn't there. Not so much that it was non-existent but the reflection wasn't of the moon. The silver reflection took the shape of…

"InuYasha?"

Kagome stopped and rubbed her eyes roughly, thinking herself a fool! InuYasha? In present day Japan? That thought was preposterous. And no matter how much she wished it were true, reality struck. He didn't need her. She was only slowing him down. If he needed her then he wouldn't have banished her in the first place. She turned back to the water. There was no denying it…that was InuYasha, but why? Why did the moon reflect InuYasha's shape? She watched his form as it started to do something…almost like a scene playing before her.

Kikyou was there. She wasn't like Kagome knew her though. She was so alive and happy. *This must be Kikyou as InuYasha remembers her…* Kagome found it hard to continue watching when Kikyou walked up to InuYasha, eye to eye. She was a little shorter then she was now, and her hair also seemed shorter. She stood lightly on her tiptoes and planted a small, but firm kiss on his lips. Kagome was infuriated. How dare he! *What am I saying? That isn't really InuYasha…Oh Kami, this must be a dream…* She looked back at the kissing couple. "More like a nightmare! She shouted and before she realized it she kicked the water and another picture formed.

This one was of InuYasha and Sesshoumaru. Then, a white fog surrounded her and she could just barely see her surroundings change. She was in Feudal Japan and the sight before her made her weep in grief and anger. Sesshoumaru held InuYasha by the throat and blue electricity of some sort ran from InuYasha to his brother. However, InuYasha was the one who seemed to be getting hurt. "Stop! STOP IT NOW!! LEAVE HIM ALONE!"

"Stop…stop…leave him alo-AHH!" Kagome's eyes shot open. She was aware of Buyo lying on her back while she lay face first on the soft mattress of her bed. Bathed in her own sweat and breathing heavily. Kagome sat up and looked around the room, slowly calming herself down. She noticed that her heart stoped beating at an outrageous rate and sighed contently. She just finished her bath and obviously missed dinner and fell asleep while she was changing. Looking down at her choice of apparel she knew that Miroku would love nothing more then to be here right now. She slept the night and today was a Saturday so she grabbed an outfit and proceeded to get dressed. She was supposed to be meeting her best friend, Sakura and their other friends in the park. A small group of only five people Kagome included.

"Kagome? Are you okay? You were screaming in your sleep." "Yeah kaa-san, I'm fine." Kagome sat up, brushing her hair with a look of intense thought on her face. Her mother sat next to her and gathered her still damp hair in her hands and began brushing it. "You missed dinner, you must be starving. That isn't what you're thinking about though, is it? Tell me, what did you dream?" "Nothing kaa-san…nothing you would understand…" Her mother grabbed an elastic and tied her hair in a ponytail at the base of her neck with the front two strands loser then the rest…similar to how the females wear their hair in Feudal Japan, very similar. "Don't worry. InuYasha will come around someday. He isn't that dense. Besides, it's obvious you have a liking for him." Kagome looked at her mom with shock then smiled. "It is way more then a liking but yeah…maybe he will." "I leave you here Kagome. I don't know InuYasha like you do but he seems very gentle and kind…when he needs to be. I trust and like him, but don't listen to me. Follow your heart. Like I always say Kagome, follow your heart." Kagome's mom turned and walked out the door and down to the kitchen with Kagome soon to follow. She was wearing red hakama and dressed very similar to a Miko. She was in training after all and the clothes were quite comfy.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Later, when breakfast was over, Kagome set out to find her friends. "Hey Kagome! Wait up!" Kagome waited as Sakura followed by Ryo-Oki, Kittae, and Mitzuna ran up to her. "So Kagome what have you been up to?" Mitzuna asked anxiously. "Yeah! You totally stood Hojo up didn't you!?!" Kittae jumped in. "Kagome you haven't been in school all week and I swear I am about to report you to the Guinness book of world records as 'Person who caught every disease known to man in one week.'" Ryo-Oki giggled. "Jeez guys give her some air. What's with the strange clothes Kagome?" "Will you all just stop it! I am sick of you pestering me. I don't care if I broke my date with Hojo he is waaaay creepy!! I haven't been sick since fifth grade and I can't tell you what I have really been doing because you won't understand and as for my clothes I happen to be a Miko in training and hakama is very comfortable OK!!!!!!" Kagome burst out…all in one breath too! "Gomen Kagome." The group muttered. "But if you weren't sick and we wouldn't understand then you must have some mystery man you're hiding from us!" Ryo-Oki piped up. Kagome looked towards the ground. "Not...anymore…" "Nani?" The group exclaimed. Tears formed in Kagome's eye and threatened to fall when the image of Kikyou and InuYasha kissing swam into view. Kagome slowly lifted her head with a smile on. "I guess I've been completely dumped!" Kagome turned on her heel and ran towards her family shrine, aware of the group close behind her.

*Where am I going? Who am I running to?* Kagome ran blindly until she slammed into 'The God Tree' (A/N: As they call it in InuYasha: The Love That Transcends Time. This is, of course, the tree InuYasha was sealed to). Kagome looked up at what she ran in to and began to weep at the bark of the tree. "InuYasha…I don't want to believe it! Why? Why Kikyou? I've been here for you the entire time!" Kagome clutched her hakama. "I love you InuYasha…but I wish…I wish…" Kagome snapped her head up and had a fire burning in her eyes. "I will tell you." *The arrow of a Miko will penetrate through almost everything. It is a powerful weapon…* "That's right!" Kagome shouted. "I can get through the barrier! By using a Miko arrow I can penetrate through the tree and by being a Miko I am allowed key into Feudal Japan!!" Kagome began to laugh and was very lighthearted after her newfound information. She stood up and ran into her house, gathered her bow and arrow and ran through the door. Sota stood in the doorway with his mother and when Kagome ran by they followed. Kagome ran straight pass her grandpa and he began to yell at her until he realized exactly where she was going. "Come child! You will not be able to penetrate the spells on that well! The family scrolls didn't even work!!" "Kagome! Kagome Where are you going?!" The group of girls yelled to Kagome, following her to the bone eaters well. Sota looked up at his mom and frowned. "Kagome's going away again isn't she?" "Awww…Sota don't worry. She'll be back, but she has to do this." Kagome's mom stood up and smiled. "Go get him Kagome." She muttered.

Kagome threw open the door of the shed and ran in front of the well. Taking off the cover she pulled an arrow out of her case. "Kagome why are we in here? What are you doing?" Sakura asked while the others nodded. Sota, Grandpa, and Kagome's mom stood by the door of the well with identical smiles. Kagome stood above the well and before doing anything she smiled and looked at her loved ones. They were all here…well, almost all of them. *Sango, Kirara, Miroku, Shippo, Myrou-jiji, Kaede-Sama…InuYasha. I am coming!* Kagome smiled sweetly and winked. "See ya soon!" Kagome set her arrow, pulled back the string and fired. However, the arrow broke as soon as it came within the rim of the well. "Nani?" Kagome whispered. *Wait…since I am in my time, my powers are weaker. Maybe if I say the incantation Kaede-Sama taught me I can get it…* Kagome put the arrow between her index fingers. Her middle, ring, and pinky fingers were laced and her thumb was near her palms. Her index fingers created a triangular shape and the arrow ran through the top of the shape with the point facing up.(A/N: With every element she mentions, she changes the form of her hands. Her index fingers remain in the triangle shape with the arrow moving very little). "Shikon No Tama: Jewel Of Four Souls: Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire. Ashira tai mae no fuji naokqu. (A/N: I totally made that up… ^_^ Pronounced: A – she – ra, taI, no, foo- G, neigh – Oh- Q …*Capitalization stands for long sound* )." The arrow began to glow brightly for a moment before that glow was reduced to a purple aura. Kagome set the arrow, pulled back and fired. This time, the arrow had a purple light trailing behind it and shot straight through the well. Lights began emitting from the well and Kagome once again turned to her group.

"Kagome! What are you doing?" Mitzuna asked fearfully. Kagome smiled sweetly before facing the well again. "Kaa-san…" Kagome's mother walked forward and hugged her daughter tightly. "I know…I know. I'm gonna miss you Kagome." "I'll be back…but I have to go now." Kagome hugged her mother back and stepped up to the well. "You always said to follow your heart…home is where the heart is. Well, I'm going home…" Kagome leapt into the well and apparently her spell worked because the farewells from her families and the confused cries of her friends became silent. As she neared Feudal Japan she began to hear new voices. "Is InuYasha going to be ok Kaede? He looks badly hurt…" "I don't know Shippo but he has a good chance of being ok since you got him help so quickly." "None of this would have happened if InuYasha let Kagome stay." "Oh stop whining Sango, but I agree. Maybe then he wouldn't spend all his time mopping." A small voice that was barely audible squeaked out. "Well, I miss having Kagome in the group too ya know…she was one hot…" "MIROKU!!" "Owwwwie! What was that for?" "Stop it children! We must tend to InuYasha and I need quiet!"

*Something happened to InuYasha? I knew something was wrong! Maybe my dream could have been…NO! Stop thinking that Kagome! It was just a dream…it meant NOTHING!*
