Inuyasha lay on his back on Kagome's bed,looking up at the painted cealing.The sun shown brightly through her bedroom window and he sighed, hands behind his head, and closed his eyes. This place was so strange... so dangerus what with "cars" and "crime" and old ladys that liked to hit him with canes just because he looked different... but other then that it was peaceful almost 90 percent of the time.
Well... at least compaired to his world where he couldn't go half a day without getting in a fight with some sort of demon.
Kagome sat on her bedrooms window seat, looking out over the shrine and writeing in some little pink book. Every now and then she'd look over at him and smile. He saw it, but since his eyes were lazily half closed, he could pretend not to knowtice. He was relaxed to the point of not even wanting to argue with her.
Yawning, he closed his eyes compleatly, but his ears perked at the sound of a small bell, and before he had a chance to figure out where the sound was comeing from, something jumped up and sat on his face, covering it with fur.
"What the hell?!!" He sat up, tossing Buyo the cat accross the room. The pudgy little neko caught himself and was able to land on all fours, but when Inuyasha blinked and got ahold of himself, Kagome was stairing at him like he was insane.
"What's your problem?" he muttered, embarased, "I just don't like cats..."
"Why?" Kagome continued to stair at him.
"Because I'm half dog, stupid."
Kagome sighed and picked up the dazed little cat, holding him in her arms and strokeing behind his ear. Inuyasha snorted, and lay back down."...Why are we here, again?" The half-demon growled.
"Because you promised."
He opened one eye and sighed sarcasticly, "I promised? I promised what?"
"Well today's the new moon right? You promised me that we could stay here while you finished your cycle, because you can't use Tutsusaiga as a -"
She stopped. He was sitting up and stairing at her funny. She could barely hear a low growl, which she was used to. He did it whenevershe mentioned two things: Kikyo, or his being half human. She expected him to say something mean any second, but he didn't.
"Inu...yasha?"
He kept stairing, "yeah?"
"How come you're nicer to me as a human?" She chirped suddenly.
He groaned, a huge sweat drop appearing on his temple, and fell off the side of the bed. Quickly standing up he folded his arms so that his hands where tucked inside his sleaves and growled at her.
"I'm not, you're immaganing things..."
"But..."
Just then the door opened and Sota peeked in, looking at Inuyasha and then to his sister. "Sis?"
"Yeah Sota, what is it?"
"Dinner will be ready soon," he looked at Inuyasha again and then declaired, "and Mom says he can't sleep in your room!" ^_^
Inuyasha's eye twiched with annoyance and Kagome's face turned bright red. Sota blinked innocently, not sure what all the fuss was about, then added, "Mom just said that you aren't allowed to have sleep overs with boys, cause your a girl."
"SOTA! I..it isn't like that!" Kagome blushed even more, and she glaired at her little brother, compleatly embarased. "...And where is he saposed to sleep?"
"Feh! Don't worry about me..." Inuyasha muttered, "I'll be fine. I hardly sleep anyway. I usualy stay up watching y-"
He caught himself and put his ears back. Kagome was stairing at him with wide, starry eyes, but he grunted, leaving the room before she could say anything.
"What's up with him?" Sota blinked and looked at his sister, "why's he in such a bad mood?"

Inuyasha walked ouside, his eyes downcast and his arms folded traditional stile in front of him. He walked out to the border of what was left of the "Inuyasha's Forest", as Keade had named it, then hopped over the little wood rail fence, and walked to the center.
Looking up he sighed, and staired at the trunk of the ancient tree he had once been trapped against. He found it confuseing that Kagome's family were the guardians of this land. He knew she was Kikio's reincarnation, but he wondered if she was actualy related to her in some way. After all, her grandpa had said the shine had been in thier family for hundreds of years...
But how could that be? Keade had no children that he knew of, preistesess were saposed to stay pure thier entire lives, so she couldn't... and she had no other siblings other then...
"kikyo..."
But... they couldn't be related by blood. The land must have shifted ownership long after Keade's death... his death... and probably the death of several generations.
It was so confuseing...
"Heh... Kikyo and I might have had children... if she hadn't gone and died..." but even as he spoke he took it back... after what happened... here... a long time ago, their future died. Even if she had lived, she would have been to old to have children by the time he woke up... he probably wouldn't have woke up at all... if she hadn't died Kagome never would have came... he'd probably still be pinned to this damn stupid tree!
"Kagome..." As he spoke, the sun disapeared behind the trees, and he began to change. Closeing his eyes he bowed his head. He was used to this. Every month or so since he was born this happened, and even though he hated it, it was a regular thing in his life...
He didn't move or even breath as his hair darkened and lost its silver glow. His ears turned pink and rounded as they slid down his head level with his eyes. His claws became dull and shortened into soft human nails on long human fingers... and when he opened his eyes, they were dark brown, no longer the demonic yellow he had been born with. He sighed, his eyes dull and sad.
"Inuyasha?..."
He blinked and lifted his head, looking over his shoulder to Kagome, who stood at the clearing stairing at him. He hadn't even heard her sneek up on him, and he wondered how long she'd been there.
She smiled gently to him, stepping closer and touching his face. For once, he didn't jerk away, he just stood there, watching her.
"Are you okay, Inuyasha?"
"Yeah... I'm fine..." He looked at her and staired at her eyes... she realy did seem conserned for him... she looked...-
He blinked and then growled, his familiar scowl returning. "I'm always fine. Leave me alown." Then, stepping back and walking around her and headed back to the house, suddenly embarased and wanting to get away. He left her there, standing in the clearing and looking confused.
"Inuyasha..."
