It was midnight and Kinoubi had already lost her claws, fangs, ears and eyes...but most of all, her hair. Her hair was already a possible human hair color but hers turned brown on the date of the Full Moon. Kagome's mother had dark-brown hair so that's probably where it came from. But Kinoubi's was a light-brown...don't know where that came from. Her eyes turned a hazel color. She was hiding under her mother in the morning from the sun's beam of rays. She knew something bad was about to happen—everyone did. She was alarmed but when her father didn't come back in the morning, she was pure frightened. So she figured if she never got out of bed, nothing would happen to her. Jinrai had already been up but if he asked Kinoubi to play she'd get her mood swings. So he just picked up Kai, a little tiny white Akita, and ran out his parent's room. Kinoubi would be harder to get out of bed. She was clutching onto her mother's stomach as if she still had claws. Her heart was beating as fast as a train on tracks. Kagome was already dressed in her silk sweatsuit/skirt. Kinoubi had ballet lessons so she had her white velvet leotard with baby blue silk Japanese characters in her name in the back. She had her white tutu with little flower like stitches in it. Her hair was in two pigtails/buns because her hair came from the bun, out. So in short, she was dressed but she didn't want to come out but she did want to see her friends and she did enjoy walking the dog and her ballet class was in present Japan, maybe she'd come out.

"Kinoubi, why don't you come outside with me and Aya?" Kagome queried. Kinoubi shifted her head.

"I don't wanna get hurt..." Kinoubi stated. Kagome gaped at her in concern.

"You won't get hurt" Kagome assured. Kinoubi looked as if she'd been misread.

"Someway or another I will today...so how won't I?" She whined.

"I won't let nothing happen to you, I'll be right there with you okay?" Kagome secured and upon hearing this Kinoubi rushed out of the covers got Aya's leash, hooked it onto Aya's collar and rushed out the door. Kagome was surprised. Kinoubi turned to her mother, still sitting on the bed.

"Come on Mommy, time is money"

*~Present Japan~* Kagome and her daughter came to the class. Everyone was staring at Kinoubi as if to say "who's that?". Then they glanced to her mother and they quickly realized who it was. Normally when she came, she was the little arrogant demon-hybrid girl that always thought she was on top-of-the-world. Now she was the shy full-human big-brown eyed girl with more tact. I guess they enjoyed this Kinoubi better Kinoubi had to be worried something was gonna happen because she was sweating. Her friends had went to perform in front of the teacher. Plie, jette...same old, same old. Kinoubi refused to put her foot on the bar to do it. Their teacher gave them a challenge to spin for at least fifteen seconds. Kinoubi was first up. She was all for it and to check, she glanced toward her mother for approval. Kagome nodded. Kinoubi cart-wheeled her way to the teacher, showing off. Once her teacher told her the position to be in, she was spinning like a top. Her hair gracefully swung around her rotating form, like she was a tornado. She'd exceeded twenty seconds and everyone could tell she did on purpose because she ended in a crouch but in a flaunted way. Oh well, you can change the picture but not the image. Her friends were in awe but everyone else was annoyed because of her attitude. She picked herself up and pranced because she was proud of herself.

"Now, who else can do that like yours truly?"

At the end of class she went to her friends agreeing to catch up with her mother outside.

"You are so moody" Akina stated as Kinoubi giggled it off. Kyokko and Hayate nodded.

"What with the get-up? Your mother dyed your hair? You got contacts too?" Hayate asked. Kinoubi just chuckled because she was the only one who knew this answer.

"Nah, I'm part-demon so I got a time to change into my human form and it's messed up because I got the whole entire day to be human..." Kinoubi reflected but upon seeing the others going home she changed the situation and the conversation. She walked past them exhibiting herself. Her friends just laughed, she was always doing something show-offy although she really wasn't snobby. Once she caught up with her mother she smiled it off and held the rest-less Aya's leash.

*~Feudal Era~*

Inuyasha had been lurking around Edo on the trail of a scent. But this had nothing to do with taking over other lands. On Kinoubi's last time in turning human, he caught a scent of another demon when she was hurt. It wasn't Tokai or Shippou and it wasn't Kouga or Myouga. Sesshoumaru was to see her today but he hasn't seen her in months. It was a familiar scent though and he was up to no stop right now. At first he thought it wasn't anything to worry about until she nearly got impaled by that katana.

*~Flashback~*

It came out of nowhere and as Inuyasha had saw it happen, he shoved her straight out of the way. She paused as if she was too scared to move and Inuyasha searched that whole area to yell at someone for being so careless with a sword. But no one Was there. All he had was a scent and she did say that she was feeling watched.
*~End of Flashback~*

Whatever it was it followed her near the full moon. He was gonna pursue what put his daughter in danger. It smelled like one of his father's enemies but he couldn't put his finger on who it was. They must be trying to bring him down, if they are they might go for Jinrai too, logically. What he really needed to do was prepare her and that would be by telling her straight out. He rushed back immediately.

Kinoubi changed into her jeans and her kimono top and her white sneakers to play outside. Kagome came with her. Inuyasha had finally came back and he wasn't transformed for once. She ran to him.

"Daddy!" She squealed as she ran into his leg. He picked her up. Kagome hugged him and went to run after Aya when she took off.

"Where's your brother?" He asked her. She shifted in his arms.

"At home with Tokai and he wouldn't play with me because he said I act temperamental on these days *rolls eyes*" She remarked.

"Okay, I'm gonna have to take a closer watch over you these days." He stated. She sighed. Kinoubi looked disappointed.

"Why wasn't you there yesterday?" She whined.

"I'm telling you now...normally I wouldn't tell you but you're mature for your age *Kinoubi nods*...most likely one of my rivals are trying to kill you..." Inuyasha struggled to say.

"What's a rival?" She asked innocently.

"An enemy" He informed her. She looked down as though she was hurt.

"Why do they wanna kill me?" She queried softly.

"They wanna get to me *deep breath**glance to her*..." Inuyasha trailed off. Kinoubi looked as if she was about to cry, her eyes were getting watery.

"I probably shouldn't have told you, that was a bad choice to begin with" Inuyasha rethought.

"I figured so anyway...but what if they do kill me?" She asked as a crystal- like tear traveled down her cheek.

"Hey! You know me, you know I don't give up that easily, definitely not on my own heir. They won't kill you or your brother because I won't let them and if they do, they'll witness Hell...anyway don't talk about your own death, I forbid you to." He secured as he grasped her tightly. He brushed her tear away and she smiled at him, proving their bond could never be broken.
