Again, I don't own. Sue at your leisure, I'm flat broke and likely to stay that way.
Again, I haven't read the whole thing, or seen the whole series. See above as to why.
And also, sorry the first part was so confusing. This should clear things up. If no, hollar more and I will try again... but with whose pov I haven't a clue...
Why?
She loved him. She knew she loved him. But, she feared him, too. Kagome looked to where Inuyasha sat, legs crossed and shoulders hunched. He plucked absently at the beads around his neck, for the who knows how many-th time that day. The expression on his face when he did hurt her, but she didn't dare free him. She feared what would happen if he were to transform to a full demon, without the beads to control him.
Tonight was the new moon. They'd set up camp a little early, changed the way they set up. Inuyasha wouldn't be able to smell them coming, and Shippo always slept like the dead. So tonight, they would take turns trying to keep an eye out for danger. Usually they stayed inside on the new moon, but they'd been chasing a jewel shard. The demon had lost to Inuyasha's claws, but they were too far from any towns or villages now to beat sundown, and Inuyasha's transformation.
Kagome sighed, and settled herself down to sleep. She didn't need to be awake yet. Sango would wake her when her watch was over.
Nothing. No funny noises, no worries of any kind. She'd even been able to study! Kagome checked her watch, and sighed with relief. Time for Inuyasha to take over. She walked over to him. "Inuyasha?"
"I'm awake. Go to bed."
She stepped back hesitantly. "You don't want some company?"
"Why would I want company? Go to bed, Kagome. I can keep a watch just as well now as if I was still a demon."
"I... Oh, never mind!" Kagome stuffed herself angrily into her sleeping bag, fuming over Inuyasha's temper. It wasn't like she was trying to say he couldn't keep a watch by himself! She'd just thought... oh, never mind what she'd thought! Inuyasha could just keep his temper!
And what was worse, he was watching her! She could tell. But somehow, it was nice. He did care. She reminded herself that he was always cranky, and this night was always worse than usual. She sighed, her mind busy with so many things that she couldn't sleep. There was a math test coming up in two more days, and she just had to learn the equations. "Let's see, the hypotonuse of a..."
"Inuyasha?" Kagome sat up slightly, looking around. Had he called her name? No, he wasn't even nearby. "Hmm? Oh..." She drifted back into sleep, not waking again until Miroku shook her. "Hmm? Is it morning?"
"Yes."
"Where's Inuyasha?"
"It figures that would be the first thing you ask!" Sango laughed. "It was either that or what's for breakfast!"
"Speaking of which?" Kagome asked hopefully.
"Eggs. You want yours scrambled?"
"Sure. But, where is Inuyasha? He never misses meals."
"I smell blood!" Shippo popped out of Kagome's sleeping bag. A moment later, the four were hunting for Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha!"
"I'm here, Kagome."
She whirled to face him. "Inuyasha! You're hurt!"
"No, I'm fine." He caught her when she ran to him, held her off. "I'm fine, Kagome. Just fine. Let's go."
"But your shirt!"
He yanked it open. "See? I'm fine. Not a scratch. Can we go, already?"
Another month, another new moon. And Inuyasha missing again this morning. Kagome sighed, and went in search of him. She saw the red kimono, an outflung hand. She caught her breath, hurrying to his side. "NOOOOO! INUYASHA!!!!" Violet eyes stared blankly up at her. Blood again covered the white shirt, spilled to darken the kimono. "Inuyasha?"
She couldn't believe it. Wouldn't.
"He's dead."
She whirled. "Sesshomaru!"
"I killed him. He thanked me."
"Th... thanked you?"
"He's free."
