This is a little fic that I started about the anime InuYasha. I really like
the anime, not to mention I have all the episodes from 1 to 79 o_O Yes.
hehe, I love them and watch them alot. Anyhoo, back to the story. This
chapter concerns Kagome and Sesshoumaru for a little bit, but mostly it
favors Inuyasha and well himself, but I'm not sure what twist I'll give it
and who will end up with whom! I don't own anything from InuYasha although
I'm very very jealous of Rumiko. ^_^ She has the best guys around her all
the time, even though they are in her mind. :P
I really appreciated those of you who reveiwed, and left such demands for me to write another chapter. I'm sorry that it took me so long, but time consumes alot of what I have left of every day.
Toki Mirage - Thanks for adding me to your favorites lits, I'm glad you liked the story so far. I hope I can keep your interests as I write in the future. :)
Devil - I'm not sure if I'm going to make this an exact Sesshoumaru/Kagome fic or not, but I'm trying to broaden my horizons of writing about this anime, so I'm using my imagination, as well as what I know from all of the episodes I've seen and read in the last few months. I hope you come back to read more as I write it. Shichan - I'm glad you want me to make it a Sessh/Kag story.. I'm not sure as I said if I will make it that or not. ^_~ I'll keep ya posted though.
Glad you liked chapter One, so now on to Chapter Two...

Inuyasha - No Moon to Howl at...
The new moon had come to pass and the crickets were rejoicing. A sad sigh could be heard, as Inuyasha sat on the steps of Kaeda's hut and looked up at the dark sky, the stars twinkling back at him. Other then what had previously transpired, the night was almost perfect.
'I wish Kagome were here. She would have enjoyed this sky. I still don't know what she sees in it.' he said, running a hand through his black hair.
The New Moon cycle had started for him, and he had lost his powers while he slept, awakening in the middle of the night to see that he had transformed. He knew the time was soon to come, but was not exactly sure how many days until it would occur. The actions of Naraku and Sesshoumaru coming at them these last weeks clouded his thoughts and the days seemed to merge all into one.
Miroku watched Inuyasha sit in the doorway of the hut. He looked over next to him where Sango was sleeping to find that she was also watching Inuyasha, lonliness written all over her face. Since Kagome had disappeared, she didn't have anyone to talk to woman to woman. Miroku also noted that it wasn't the same without the high spirited girl around. Even though she 'sat' Inuyasha quite a bit when he did things that were getting on her nerves, he knew without a doubt, that Inuyasha missed her more then any of us did. They both tried to hide it, but it was obvious to all of them that they liked each other, or even loved each other, a lot. It wasn't lost to anyone either, that when they found out about her being taken by Inuyasha's brother, that he cried that night when he regained conciousness.
Inuyasha felt eyes on his back, and turned around to glare back at the priest. Miroku got the hint and leaned back against the wall, taking this time to get some needed sleep. Inuyasha looked back out into the sky and sighed again.
"I need to get her back. The days.. and nights are so dull without her." he whispered, as he stood and came back inside, closing the reed door-covering before he laid himself back upon the bed they had made for him. He knew he needed rest, so he closed his eyes and focused all of his body's energy in healing his wounds. 'I will get her back, and if that dog touches her...' Inuyasha thought, and growled before finishing it.
~~~~
Kagome stared at the open door-way and the anxiety to jump up on her feet and run out of it was stifled by her thoughts of what he had said. She remembered what he had said to her only a while ago.
~ "Like I said, it would do you better to kindly take my act of hospitality and promise that you will not escape until my plans are fulfilled. Then you may leave with that worthless half brother of mine." ~
"At least he's not totaly evil. Even though he seems to be a little frigid, I think he has a heart under that cold face somewhere." Kagome whispered, standing up and pacing to the doorway.
She stood at the threshold for a few minutes and then turned around and went to sit at the window ledge. The sky was becoming a shadowy blue as the morning progressed, and the trees were everywhere outside. Her thoughts wondered to how Inuyasha was fareing at the moment.
Sesshoumaru stood outside her door in the hall, waiting for her to come out. If she was going to, he thought that he would have to tie her to the bed within the room, but somewhere inside him he hoped he wouldn't have to. He wasn't known to treat his patrons unkindly, but this woman was being a mear thorn in his side. Listening intently, her heard her speak and the sounds of her standing could be heard. Footsteps fell upon the floor but stopped just in the doorway. Sesshoumaru flexed his clawed fingers, ready to grab her as she attempted to escape, but he never got the opportunity. The girl did not cross the threshold of the door, but went back into the room, as he heard her foot falls sound farther and farther away. He took in a breath of air, and stood up straight.
"I guess she's smarter then I thought." he whispered, turning from her room as he disappeared down the corridor.
~~~~
Inuyasha awoke from his sleep, clutching his chest as if the very heart held inside was about to burst forth from his body. Breathing hard he sat up slightly to look around the room. No one else had awoken yet, and the hut was entirely void of all noise, save the crackling of the fire burning in the center of the room. The ash created by the fire mingled with that of the normal early morning smells, and it made his mind long to see something that he missed dearly. Getting up off of the hard wooden floor, he made his way to the exterior of the hut and sat on the steps, once again occupying the the spot he had admired the stars at earlier.
Looking up at the coming dawn, he awaited his transformation back into the hanyou that he was. He needed his powers to heal himself back to his full potential, or he would never be able to get back Kagome before something foul had happened to her. His thought's ran to Sesshoumaru and if he would actually harm Kagome.
'Sure he would,' Inuyasha thought, 'He'd kill his own mother to get what he wanted, if she was still around...' he mused and placed his face into his hands. A sigh escaped his lips as he leaned back against the outside wall. Inuyasha remembered all the times that he had been without Kagomes presence around, and they were far and few. He noted that most of those times he ended up traveling through the well to her time to bring her back. He never was able to get her to listen to him, however, she usually did always come back.
'What if this time she doesn't come back? What then would I do?' he thought, bobbing his dog ears in frustration.
He looked up as the early morning sunrise peaked over the tops of the trees and made it self known to him. With a surge of what felt like electricity, his body pulsated. His hair changed first, turning back to the pearly white that it was. He felt his eyes changing, the color going from that deep purple, into their original golden yellow. Next were his claws, he put his hands up and looked at them as the nails grew longer. "It's done." he stated, as he could infinately feel the power coursing through his body to heal the areas that needed it. He closed his eyes and rested as his body did it's job in healing him.
The priest had since awoken and had wondered to the doorway to see his friend, Inuyasha sitting on the steps. He was no longer a human, but back in his hanyou state. Miroku felt pitty at knowing Inuyasha must suffer being as weak as the rest of them. Being strong was what made Inuyasha.. well, Inuyasha. He made them all strong and gave them a degree of courage. Since he was always willing to head out into battle first and foremost, Miroku looked up to him for that little bit of courage and determination. The signifigance of the clothing that Inuyasha wore made Miroku think of red flowers and what they represented. They were fragile, but they always stood with courage and the determination to go on, to fight for their fragile lives. This was Inuyasha, even though he put on the act of being a hardass, he was more kind of heart and innocent then he liked to think he was. With this thought, Miroku smiled and made his way outside to join his friend on the steps.
"How are you faring, Inuyasha?" Miroku asked, sitting down indian style upon the steps placing his golden staff up against the wall.
Inuyasha opened his eyes and looked over at the priest. Some semblence of worrisome fear was craddled in his eyes by the anger he felt at having lost Kagome again. The priest gave him a look of complete understanding as the worry for Kagome was mirrored within his own eyes.
"I'm fine, at least for now. I have to take a day to heal these damned wounds. Then I'm going to go give my big brother the surprise of his life... when I take it." he stated, malice tainting his tone.
Miroku shivered upon hearing his good friend speak this way, even if it was for something his brother had done. There had only been so many times in his days of knowing Inuyasha, that he felt the rage emenating off of the hanyou and it usually always scared him. Miroku reached over and placed the hand containing the wind tunnel upon Inuyasha's shoulder and squeezed it lightly.
"You'll get her back Inuyasha. She's pretty strong herself you know. I have faith that she will be ok." the priest said, squeezing his friends shoulder a bit more.
"Thanks Miroku... I'd like to believe that too. I just don't have that much faith in Sesshoumaru." he whispered, and leaned back upon the huts wall and closed his eyes once more.
Miroku smiled and looked out at the trees, the day was slowly getting brighter and brighter... in more ways then one. "I believe Sango and Shippou are going to be waking up soon. We might as well enjoy the silence while it lasts, shall we?" he said, grinning over at Inuyasha. Eyes still planted shut, the hanyou grinned his agreement to the priest. They sat there in peace, enjoying the last few moments of peace before Shippou could be heard within, making his daily squeeles of delight of each new day.
