Chapter6: The New Moon

Everyone sat with shocked faces at the unexpected news. So Kasha was Sesshoumaru's son? Now they looked at him with widened eyes, they could see the resemblance between the two of them. They had completely forgotten that Inuyasha was not the only one with long silver hair. They had completely forgotten about Sesshoumaru. Maybe Kasha's father was in fact him, and maybe he was the one who taught his brother Kazuya all his skills. Everyone stared at him with blinking eyes as Kasha begun to feel uncomfortable by all the staring.

"What!!?" he snapped at the shocked group.

"Sesshoumaru's... son??" stammered Sango.

" I do not believe this!" Miroku turned towards Kagome. "Kagome, you have a son with Sesshoumaru?"

Kagome got a deep tone of red on her cheeks while Inuyasha started to look annoyed by all the comments and thoughts that were rushing on everyone's minds.

"What?? No way!! Why do you keep insisting that he's my son!! He is not my son!!!" snapped a blushed Kagome.

"Wow... I don't believe it! Kagome and Sesshoumaru??"

"Shippo! Quit saying those things!!" Kagome snapped at the shocked kitsune.

Miroku, Sango and Shippo formed a discussion ring next to the annoyed hanyou and blushing girl.

"Could he really be Sessoumaru and Kagome-chan's son? What do you think Houshi-sama?" Sango whispered with a suspicious face.

"There's a great possibility... now that we know this I can see the resemblance between him and Kagome... and of course Sesshoumaru... I guess I made a mistake by saying he was Kagome and Inuyasha's son... Inuyasha has both his arms so..."

"I still cant believe that Kagome got involved with Sesshoumaru..." Interrupted Shippo.

"OI!! What are you all mumbling about??" snapped an angry looking hanyou.

"Nothing that concerns you Inuyasha, you're not the father of this child so just stay out of this discussion..." stated a calmed Miroku while flames emerged from Inuyasha's body.

"Why are uoi whispering?? And who is that Sessho dude you're talking about?" asked an annoyed looking Kasha as the rest turned towards him with confused expressions.

"Eh? You mean Sesshoumaru's not your dad?" asked a confused Shippo while jumping onto Miroku's shoulder.

"What? How should I know?"

"What do you mean 'How should I know'... you said your father only had one arm didn't you?" asked Kagome while walking towards him.

"Yeah, so what?... I cant tell you if that Sesshoumaru you're talking about is my father, I don't know his name, Kazuya never told me and I didn't want to ask him either..." he said while crossing his arms in front of his chest, annoyed by all the questioning he was being put through.

"Why not?" asked Kagome with a slightly saddened face.

Kasha turned his face to a side, to avoid all the staring. "I don't know... he never told me, and I don't want to ask him..." He then took an apple and started eating it, not really paying attention to the rest.

" So now we're facing the possibility that Kasha's Sesshoumaru's son... Well this is going to be interesting..." stated a thoughtful Miroku.

"Feh!He couldn't be Sesshoumaru's son! He would never get involved with a human!!" stated an annoyed hanyou. Kasha stared at him with funny angry eyes.

"Well at least I'm not bugged about being YOUR son anymore!!!" he snapped with a smirk. "Keh! I'd rather have this Sesshou something dude to be my father than you!!"

Inuyasha glared dagger at him as he stood up and faced the boy. "What did you say???"

"You heard what I said!! Keh! I'm good looking so there goes the firt hint that you're not my father!!!"

Inuyasha was fuming now. He and Kasha started arguing all over again, while Kagome just sat in between of them with a careless expression on her face. The rest just sat with thoughtful and intrigued expressions as they saw the two of them arguing.

"Houshi-sama... there is one thing that I don't quite get..."

"What is it?..." Miroku asked while turning to the taijiya sitting next to him.

"If he is Sesshoumaru's son... then why isnt he a demon?... we know Sesshoumaru wouldn't get involve with a human, so if he had a son, he should be a full demon, shouldn't he?..."

"Hmm... you're right about that..." the monk changed his gaze from the sky to the arguing boy. "And he isnt half demon either... if the possibility that Sesshoumaru got involved with a woman was true... he's just a boy..."

"This is getting nowhere... I don't think he's either Inuyasha's or Sesshoumaru's kid... this is just too weird..." stated a blinking sango at the sight of Kagome whacking Kasha on the head, and 'Sitting' Inuyasha right afte that.

Shippo just stared at the amusing scene being displayed in front of him with widened eyes and an expecting look on his face, as if he was watching a soap opera or Tv show. But hell, this was much more interesting than those things.

Inuyasha got to his feet with a red mark on his face, cause by the sudden 'accident' he'd had. " OI!!! What the heck do you think you're doing???!!"

"Inuyasha!!!" Kagome stared at him with an angry tone of voice and expression. "If you don't want me to 'sit' you then you should stop arguing all the time!!"

"What?? And why don't you say something to him?? I wasn't the one who started the whole thing!!"

"Hey! I didn't start it!! You did!!"

"Shut up you little weasel!! This is a grown up's conversation!!" snapped an angry hanyou while staring daggers at the little boy.

"Oh yeah?? Then where are the grown ups?? All I can see is a dog and a witch arguing!!"

"What did you say Kasha?? After I stood up for you you still call me 'witch'??" snapped a fuming Kagome. Oh boy, was the situation getting worse by second.

"Stood up for me?? You whacked me on the head!!"

"An empty head that is..." muttered Inuyasha while loking at him from the corner of his eye with a silly mocking expression on his face.

Several little sweat drops fell from miroku, sango and shippo's heads while they stared at the three of them arguing. Lucky for poor little Kasha he wasn't Kagome and Inuyasha's son, they thought to themselves.

"Why do they always have to argue...?" asked a bored looking Shippo. Miroku let out a sigh before answering to the little fox youkai.

"Who knows Shippo... Who knows... they're not even family and they're already arguing like a couple of parents scolding at their child..."

" And you know what the worst part is?..." asked Sango with an awkward smile on her face, as Miroku and little Shippo turned to her. "WE are the ones that are gonna have to put up with their fights for as long as this 'mision' lasts..."

Huge sweat drops formed on both Miroku and Shippo's heads. Now they didn't just have Kagome and Inuyasha's fight to put up with, but a third member that would just complicate things even more.

The hours passed rather quickly; between their arguments and fights for the food, Kasha and Inuyasha had worn everyone out. Even Kagome, who just stayed as if nothing had happened everytime they begun fighting again. As they continued their way towards Ryuuta's house, they learned a few more details about Kasha's life. For exmaple, that his brother Kazuya was engaged to a girl named Ichigo and that they were going to live in their house once they got married; that he enjoyed chasing little youkais that got near their house, and that he would've liked to get to know his parents a little better. Everyone stared at him with smiles, especially Shippo, who seemed to be the one who was more interesting in learning about his new friend.

Well, not everyone, because Inuyasha kept trying to ignore all his comments as much as he could; always frowning and 'Feh-ing' at the little boy. But he too listened to some of his comments from time to time, of course without anyone noticing.

The sunset on the horizon indicated night was about to come, and this made Inuyasha get even more impatient and annoying. They decided to spend the night next to a lake, and set their things around to finally get settled. Shippo and Kagome found a hot spring not far from where they were staying, and decided to give the good news to Sango. Inuyasha sat on a tree branch with an annoyed expression while looking at the sunset. Miroku started to gather logs so they could start a fire while Kasha stared at the hanyou with a serious expression.

"Kasha? Is somethings wrong?..." asked the monk as he stared at Kasha and then at Inuyasha, trying to find out what was it that the little boy was staring at.

"Eh?... no, it's nothing..."

They turned around when they heard Shippo approaching at high speed followed by Sango and Kagome.

"We found hot springs!!" his happy and high pitched tone of voice reached the hanyou's ears, that twitched quickly at the sudden outburst.

"Oi Shippo!! Quiet down would ya!?" he asked in a not very polite way while closing his eyes and leaning on the tree.

Shippo got a funny annoyed look on his face and then muttered. "Why does he have to be so cranky whenever there's a new moon... Ha! It's not like the end of the world wil come if he changes..." *crash*

Shippo was now rubbing the huge bump on his head, caused by an aple that Inuyasha had thrown at him.

"I heard that!!!" he snapped from his branch.

"Waaaa!!... Why did you have to hit me!!..." cried a teary looking Shippo.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome's voice scolded him, but the hanyou just turned around and went back to his previous position.

"So you found hot springs?..." asked Miroku with an innocent smile on his face. Shippo turned to him with a happy smile on his face as he went running towards Kasha and jumped to his shoulder. Kagome and Sango stared at the monk with suspicious faces.

"Hai!! They're not far from here!"

"Well isnt that something good?" stated again a smiling Miroku.

"Yeah... but I suggest you stay away from it Miroku..." stated a suspicious looking Kagome.

"Ah... but why? I was hoping I could relax for a moment... after all the arguing we've had to listen to that was going to be a reward for me..." he stated with a sigh and a cute disappointed face.

"Well, you can always do it after we're done..." stated Sango.

"Ah, but of course... after watching you then I'll..."

*whack* *slap* *crash*

Poor Miroku was now laying on the floor ith two bumps on his head and a red mark on his cheek.

"You better stop those perverted ways of yours Miroku!!" snapped Inuyasha while holding an apple on his hand.

"Houshi-sama! Why do you always have to make those comments??"

Miroku slowly got up and rubbed tha back of his head. "I'm sorry, I just cant help it..."

" 'Freaks...'" thought Kasha to himself.

"Oh..."

"What is it Houshi-sama?"

Miroku leaned and picked up a few of the logs that were laying around in the ground. "It seems these are wet... hm... now they're useless... I'll go get..."

"Wait!"

Miroku was suddenly interrupted by Kasha. Everyone turned towards him with surprise. "I'll get the logs... I'm bored here I'll go get them..."

"Are you sure Kasha? The sun is about to set and..."

"Yes I'm sure! I'm not a baby! I'm not afraid of the dark!"

"But you should know these surroundings are full of youkais... it could get dangerous for you to go by yourself..."

"No way! I can defend myself! I know how to fight youkais remember?" Kasha snapped at Sango.

"Feh! Let him go..." stated Inuyasha to everyone's surprise. " He's not a little baby and there's still light out here... let him leave..."

"You're probably right, but what Sango said is true... there are youkais around here..." stated Miroku.

"I know!" cried little Shippo with a determined expression. "I'll go with you! I can fight demons if they show up!!" his comment made everyone get sweat drops.

Kagome smiled awkwardly at him. "No offence Shippo, but I think you should just stay here with us..."

"What?? No way!! I can fight demons!" Shippo stated with an angry look.

"No you cant! You run away and hide behind Kirara whenever a demon shows up!"yelled Inuyasha with a smirk.

"That's not true!! I'll go with Kasha, right??" the little fox demon turned to the boy with a determined look on his face.

"That's right!"

Everyone was surprised at his statement and Shippo's eyes widened and sparkled.

"You see!!" he snapped triumphally at the rest.

"I'll take the tiger youkai with me!!" Kasha stated with a smirk on his face. Now everyone had gotten a sweat drop and Shippo's jaw fell to the ground as they watched Kasha taking Kirara on his arms.

"Feh!" Inuyasha smirked.

"I'll borrow her for a while ok!!" he yelled while Kirara transformed into her tiger-yokai form and Kasha got on top of her.

"Sure..." stated a blinking Sango.

"Be careful Kasha!!!" yelled Kagome, getting an 'ok' signal in response. "Well, I think we better get started... Eh?" Kagome stopped when she noticed Shippo's shocked expression. "Shippo? Are you ok?" she asked while kneeling in front of the little kitsune.

"I think he's still surprised...poor Shippo..." stated a funny looking Miroku.

"Just leave him alone and start making dinner..." stated a careless hanyou from his branch.

"What?? Why don't YOU come here and start doing things on your own!!" snapped an angry looking Kagome.

"Feh! Like it was so hard to boil water and pour it into the ramen cup..."

A brief moment of silence filled them. "Inuyasha!!!! Osuwari!!!"

*crash*

The sky was filled with bright stars and everyone sat around with concerned expressions. Three hours had passed and Kasha hadnt returned yet.

"What the hell is taking him so long?? What, is it so hard to get logs around here??" snapped an angry looking Inuyasha, his black hair flowing with the breeze.

"I'm worried about him... he's been gone for more than two hours, something must have happened to him..." stated a worried Kagome.

"Don't worry Kagome-chan... Kirara's with him... I'm sure he's fine..." Sango stated in an atempt to comfort the girl.

"It's staring to get cold... why don't we go look for him?" Shippo asked while jumping to Kagome's lap.

"Feh! He said he could take care of himself, if he's in trouble it's all his fault..."

"Inuyasha!"

"What?? He wanted to get the logs! Don't look at me, it's not my fault he's taking so long!!" snapped an angry looking inuyasha as he stared at the girl sitting next to him.

"Not your fault?? I quote:'Feh! Let him go, he's not a little baby and there's still light out here, let him leave!'"

Inuyasha gulped as he listened to her words. Damn! How did she remember exactly what he said?

"W-Well I didn't know he was going to take so long!" he stammered. " Besides, if he was in trouble, then I'm sure Kirara would've taken him out of there..."

Sango sighed and then got to her feet. "Why don't we go look for him? If we stay here blaming each other, we're never gonna get anything done... and we've got to find Kasha before a demon finds him first..."

Kagome stood up and nodded, followed by Miroku.

"All right then... I'll go to the right, Sango you take the left..."

"Hai..."

"Kagome you take this way and Inuyasha... you'll stay here with Shippo, just in case he comes back..."

"Feh... fine..." stated Inuyasha while closing his eyes and crossing his arms in fronnt of him.

"Ok then... let's go..."

Shippo waved at them as they walked away from the camp, then he turned towards Inuyasha and sat next to him with a worried look on his face.

"Inuyasha..." he started saying with a soft tone of voice.

"What..."

"Kasha can defeat a demon right?..."

"I don't know..." Inuyasha glared at the little kitsune from the corner of his eye, then he looked up at the stars and continued. " But he did say his brother taught him how to fight... besides, he took Kirara with him... I bet that little weasel just got lost or something... that baka..."

Shippo looked up at the man sitting next to him. He smirked and then stared at the same sky. "Hai!"

Twenty minutes had passed since Miroku, Sango and Kagome went on their search to find Kasha. Miroku had decided to search in the woods not far from where they were staying, and as he walked through the thick bushes he couldn't help but to feel a little worried about Kasha now.

" 'Well, it's been twenty minutes and still no sign of him... I don't want to be a pesimist, but I don't think we're gonna find him tonight...'"

He said while staring at the stars and moon that brightened his way. Well at least it was not dark, and that would make his search easier. He started walking thorugh some more bushes until he stopped when he reached a desolated part of the woods. He started scanning the area and widened his eyes when he spotted a mysterious silhouette sitting on a rock.

"Kasha?" he asked a little confused. He approached this silhouette slowly and with a serious expression, thnking that maybe this was some demon hiding there. He was suddenly surprised when he noticed Kirara resting at the bottom of the rock, still on her tiger-youkai form. "Eh? Kirara?..."

Kasha turned to him in surprise. "What are you doing here?..."
