Chapter 10: New Moon

Kagome took in a deep breath after finally finishing the five pages of 'extra information' on her sister. "The bitch can speak Spanish?" Kagome growled. "When did she learn that?" Kagome sighed again and laid back in bed.

Miroku knocked on the door and entered after a 'uh-huh?' from Kagome. "So you finally finished huh?" He smiled, "Same here." Miroku flopped down on Sango's bed. "Are they back yet?"

"Yes we are," Sango opened the door, smiling, and walked over to her bed. "Excuse me," She waited for Miroku to move over some to sit down. "Thanks."

"Hi Sango." Miroku gave a small, nervous smile.

Kagome noticed this although Sango didn't. Kagome gave Miroku a flashed knowing smile and quickly turned back to Sango. 'He's never been nervous around a girl before.' Kagome smiled to herself and then continued talking to Sango. "Where's Inuyasha?"

"Dog boy? Oh, somewhere. We parted once we got inside." Sango smiled and looked down at her hand where the ring was. 'Thankfully Inuyasha hasn't noticed.' Sango inwardly sighed.

"Why do you call him dog boy?" Miroku stared at Sango's brown eyes that glistened in the light.

Sango turned a light shade of pink and quickly stared back down at her ring. "Just a childhood nickname." Sango quickly thought up something. 'I can't just tell them he's a hanyou.' Sango gave a half-hearted chuckle and continued twisting the ring on her finger.

'I-is that an engagement ring?' Miroku's heart sunk. 'How could I have not guessed? A girl like her? Of course she'd be engaged.

Sango noticed Miroku's gaze on her ring and smiled at him. "So." She sighed.

"So." Kagome looked from the ring to Miroku's eyes. They were filled with sadness since the second after he discovered it was an engagement ring. 'Poor Miroku. First Akane and now Sango.' Kagome sighed and got up. "Well I'll be back." Kagome hastily left the room leaving the door ajar.

"Miroku? Are you ok?" Sango looked up at Miroku who still stared off into space.

"Oh! Of course!" Miroku jumped up and smiled. "Don't worry about me." He hastily left the room holding back the urge to find Kouga and beat him up. "Stupid baka!" He scolded himself; unbeknownst to him Sango heard this.

"Huh?" Sango shook it off and laid back on her bed and slowly removed the ring. "Oh Juujoumaru why did you?" Sango cut herself off and slipped the ring back on her finger and closed her eyes to meditate.

***

Inuyasha held the retrieved picture of Kikyo in his hands. "Kagome looks so much like Kikyo. Why?" Inuyasha jumped higher into the God tree and sighed. He could smell youkai, Kouga, coming closer.

Kouga entered the indoor park and sniffed the air. Growling, he looked towards the God tree and smirked. "Hello Inuyasha," Kouga sat directly underneath and sighed.

"Feh," Inuyasha began to growl very low in youkai tongue. He could barely hear himself with the cap on. 'No one will be able to see me here,' Inuyasha yanked off his cap and shook his head.

"It feels good doesn't it? Exposing those pathetic ears of yours?" Kouga looked up into the tree in Inuyasha's general direction.

"Shut up yarou. Who the hell asked you?" Inuyasha growled and slammed the cap back on his head. He jumped from the tree and snarled, "What in all the hells do you want?"

"Shut up dog shit. This place is for all agents and I am one of them so shove it." Kouga turned away and sighed.

"Rot in hell." Inuyasha growled and pulled out Tetsusaiga holding it to Kouga's throat.

Kouga growled and turned to face Inuyasha. "Just try it, you kill me and you're off your case." Kouga grinned. "I knew you wouldn't." He scoffed and got up.

"One day Kouga." Inuyasha growled, "You will die."

***

Kagome walked towards the indoor park. 'I've seen him in there enough times to know that's where he probably is.' Kagome got to the indoor park doors in time to see Inuyasha throwing them open and storming towards her.

"Inuyasha?" Kagome stared at the agent facing the wall a few feet in front of her. 'Is he *growling*?' Kagome cautiously walked towards him a few steps and stopped. Kagome looked into the park to see Kouga under the God tree.

"What?" Inuyasha growled.

"Don't worry, Kouga's a jerk to everyone. He tried to take me back to his room once but Miroku tried to kill him. Just ignore him." Kagome offered the best advice she could but, you see, that didn't *help* the matter.

"He WHAT?" Inuyasha turned with an angry look in his eyes. If Kagome didn't know any better she would have thought his eyes to be fire.

"Forget it Inuyasha," Kagome sighed and blocked the indoor park doors from him. "Let's go find Sango and Miroku ok?"

"Feh," Inuyasha growled began walking down the hall.

***

"Sun, moon, earth, star, sun, moon, earth, star," Sango repeated over and over. (A/N: Hai, this is from Sailor Moon's Sailor Mars. It does calm you b/c I've tried it after doing some high kicks and punches to J-Pop. So you should try it too! ^.^;; A true otaku uses what she sees to her advantage. Anyway, bts) Sango slowly took in a deep breath.

"Sango?" Miroku walked into the room to see the meditating Sango sitting on her bed. 'She looks so beautiful. Wait? What am I thinking?! She's engaged!' Miroku shook his head.

He couldn't like her.

She was engaged.

Yeah. Engaged.

Couldn't like her. No.

Sango blinked and then took in one final deep breath and stood up on her mattress to face Miroku. She did a back flip off the bed and smiled. "Hey Miroku." She cocked her head. "Miroku?"

"Yes Sango?" He smiled and entered the room walking to Kagome's bed.

"Never mind." Sango re-did her ponytail and quickly grabbed her mission file from under her bed.

"Oh ok." Miroku gave a faint smile and grabbed a Chobits manga from Kagome's shelf.

Sango glanced up at the manga and smiled. "You like Chobits? So do I it's good."

"Yeah. Not as much as Kagome but I do like chi." Miroku gave a lecherous grin, which caused Sango to frown.

Sango sighed, "Hentai." Sango got up with her file and left the room.

(A/N: I love Chobits! It's almost as good as Inuyasha! Anyway, my favorite is Chi, then Plum. I love it! BTS)

***

"Damn it jerk." Kagome muttered under her breath.

"Tell it to my face," Inuyasha growled waving a hand at her.

"How did you-?" Kagome decided it'd be one more thing for him to yell about so she just quickly ran past him towards her room to get her report. She needed to check on something.

"Feh," Inuyasha sighed and slowed down as he caught the scent of chlorine.

Faint, but it was definitely there.

'This will come in handy,' Inuyasha gave a faint smile and hurried off to tell Sango.

***

Kagome brushed past countless agents heading towards her room. She walked to her room where Sango was twitching angrily muttering something in English as she walked out. By what Kagome could tell Miroku had tried something. "Hi Sango." Kagome gave a fake smile.

"Hey Kagome." Sango slowly stopped twitching and muttering. "Find Inuyasha?"

"Yeah, I think he had been arguing with Kouga." Kagome sighed.

"Kouga?" Sango's eyes narrowed and she began muttering in English again. "I gotta go see Inuyasha, I'll be back later." With that Sango walked off. She felt a little sad. No alone. Why?

She didn't like Miroku...

He was a hentai.

He made her sick.

Yeah. He made her *Real* angry.

. . .

Right?

***

"So what did you do this time?" Kagome sighed and stared at the manga in his hands. "I see. Volume 1 huh? Could you *get* more perverted?" Kagome sighed, "If you like her so damn much then you need to stop being so hentai around her!" Kagome grabbed the manga from his hands and laughed, "We'll start with Chobits."

Miroku gave a disappointed sigh but agreed. "Who said I liked her?"

"That's just sad." Kagome slapped her face with her hand and laid back on her bed. "If you don't know why should I tell you?"

***

"Inuyasha?" Sango walked through the halls full of busy agents looking for the hanyou. 'The garage? The indoor park?' Sango was worried. Was he off killing Kouga now that Kagome was out of the way? "Damn." Sango heard the faint obscenities of her friend and sighed.

"What the hell do you mean?!?" Inuyasha was holding Kouga up by the collar growling.

"What did you think I meant yarou?" Kouga growled. "That bitch you hang out with? Are you and her-?" He stopped when he saw Sango over the corner of Inuyasha's shoulder.

"Don't. Ever. Call. Her. That. Again." Inuyasha was ready to punch Kouga's lights out when he smelled Sango's scent.

"Let him down Inuyasha," Sango said dryly. "He's not worth your valuable time. I mean he's just a pathetic youkai that cowers from a human boss." Sango grinned and walked closer to Kouga. "But me on the other hand, I think I could squeeze him in . . ." Sango had a devilish grin on her face.

Inuyasha gave a smug grin when Sango kneed - very energetically - Kouga in his *ahem*. "See you around yarou." Inuyasha turned to leave and grinned. "I could have done it myself Sango."

Sango turned to get a quick glimpse of Kouga doubled over on the ground before responding. "Yeah but it seemed like it would be fun," She grinned.

"You scare me how I'm rubbing off on you." Inuyasha joked and then walked towards Miroku's room. "Night Sango." He closed the door behind him and plopped down on his bed.

"Night." She walked lazily towards Kagome's room and sighed in bliss when she found Miroku wasn't there and Kagome was drawing something.

"Hey Sango," Kagome gave a quick smile and returned to her drawing.

"Hey." Sango laid down on her bed and closed her eyes. 'Three more days. . . Then Naraku's dead.' With this last thought Sango drifted off to sleep.

***

Lord Naraku, Kikyo wishes to speak with you." A girl with sapphire eyes entered the room with an annoyed look on her face.

"Very well Kagura." Naraku sighed and turned towards the large plasma screen TV. "Tell her I'm connected."

"Yes *sir*," Kagura growled and glided out towards the plasma screen in her room. "Master Kikyo, Naraku is connected." Kagura nodded and left the room for yet another.

"Yes Kikyo?" Naraku growled, "What is it?"

"Have you found anything on my sister's whereabouts?" Kikyo's eyes were cold and desolate.

"No," Naraku growled. "Since the day you left with the Shikon no kakera there has been no trace of her anywhere in Tokyo." Naraku sat down in his leather chair behind his desk. "Is there anything else *Master* Kikyo?"

"Yes. You need to learn respect for the girl who could destroy you right now." With that Kikyo's connection dropped and the plasma screen was once again with a screensaver of Kagome's picture.

Juujoumaru silently walked in and stared at his 'father'.

"She hates me." Naraku sighed and turned. "What do you want?"

Juujoumaru kept his solemn look until something else spoke. Kageromaru growled, "Aren't you going to tell that bitch you know where her sister is?"

"Both of you leave NOW," Naraku growled back and turned. "One day Kikyo, you and I will rule together."

***

The Next Day. . .

Sango changed and quickly entered the training grounds to see Kagome fighting the air fiercely while J-Pop played. She leaned back on the wall to watch how her new-found friend battled this invisible opponent.

'I'm going to get this right damn it!' Kagome yelled to herself as she leapt up into the air did a back flip, while getting and arrow and lodging it in her bow, and then twisting back to the ground after shooting an arrow. Then before she could finish her right ankle faltered and she fell forward.

"Kagome?" Sango rushed forward to check on her friend. "Are you ok?"

"Yeah I'm fine," Kagome grunted as she got up and took in a deep breath. "That damn move gets me every time!" Kagome looked up at the confused Sango. "Just a move that someone I know tried to teach me when I was little."

"Oh." Sango smiled and turned away.

"So. . ." Kagome looked up at the ceiling and then back at Sango. "Who's the lucky guy?"

"L-lucky guy?" Sango stuttered. 'What the hell is Kagome talking about? Better not be about Miroku!. . .' Sango sighed. 'Because I hate him. . . Yeah. . . Hate.'

"Yeah. Your fiancé?" Kagome winked and nudged Sango in the ribs. "Well?"

'Ok, I'm officially mystified now.' Sango looked down at her hand and was struck with the answer. "Oh this?" Sango sighed, "I'm not. . .anymore," She looked back down at it and then to Kagome's eyes. "I was but. . .then. . ." Sango trailed off as she realized Inuyasha standing a few feet away.

"I'm ready. . .Sango. . ." Inuyasha also trailed off after he saw the ring on Sango's finger. Inuyasha glared at it and then hastily turned away.

"I'll be right back Kag." Sango slowly stood and walked over to the angered hanyou. In a voice only he could hear she began to talk, "Inuyasha I know, I know."

"Why do you wear it Sango?" Inuyasha sighed, "It's over. It's not healthy damn it!" He hissed. 'I'm worried. Does she still think he'll return? How could she fall in love with the silent son of the one who killed her family?' Inuyasha looked away.

"I can't help it. It feels right there and I have this feeling like he'll come back or something. Ever since I told you Juujoumaru's relation with Naraku you've been getting more and more angry about this."

"What do you expect me to do? He's TROUBLE Sango. He can't be trusted if he's Naraku's son. Based on what you tell me Naraku is almost as evil as K- " Inuyasha stopped quickly and sighed. "You need to stop wearing it Sango. You're turning 20 and you were engaged when you were 18." With that Inuyasha walked off towards Kagome.

"What was that about?" Kagome whispered.

"Something that you can ask Sango." Inuyasha grunted and pulled out Tetsusaiga. It didn't transform when he pulled it out like it usually did when Kagome saw it.

"Your sword. Tetsusaiga? Can I ask you a question?" Kagome's eyes widened in shock when Inuyasha tensed and then he said something she wasn't expecting.

"Shoot." He re-sheathed Tetsusaiga and turned to her.

"Well. . . Um. . . How does it do *that*?" She waited for a yell.

"Do what?" He sighed unsheathing it once again and swiftly manuvaring it.

"When you're fighting or training it does this weird thing like it's transforming or something." Kagome's eyes focused on the sword.

'Oh shit. Oh crap. Oh DAMN!' Inuyasha's mind raced with obscenities as he thought of a god answer. Luckily Sango heard and can to his rescue.

"Ready to start training?" Sango walked over to Kagome's boom box who was booming and lowered the volume. "Inu-chan doesn't really like loud music." Sango gave a weak smile and looked at Inuyasha. She read his thankful eyes and nodded.

'Thank the gods for Sango.' Inuyasha took a deep breath and leapt up into the air. As he did so Tetsusaiga transformed into it's true form.

***

Kagome watched as the two did their training and she couldn't help but cheer on Sango. She could tell Inuyasha didn't really care so she continued. Sango had won by one point when she swung Hiraikotsu towards Inuyasha's head knocking him to the floor.

"Inuyasha? Are you ok?" Sango rushed to him with Kagome right behind.

"Inuyasha?" Kagome tapped Inuyasha's forehead but there was no response.

"Damn it." Sango sighed, "He's out cold."

"Feh," Inuyasha coughed weakly and jumped to his feet. "Well I guess you won this time," He gave a half hearted grin and began to leave for the lockers. "I'll meet you soon," Inuyasha headed towards the locker room to quickly change before it could get dark. They'd trained longer than he had planned.

***

Sango dashed from her and Kagome's room as fast as she could towards the parking garage. "He better not have left already!' Sango sped up to see Inuyasha already sitting impatiently in Fang.

"What the hell took so long?" Inuyasha growled but quickly dropped it as he sped out of the garage towards the docks.

"Where're we going?" Sango sighed pulling out her Gameboy from the glove compartment.

"The docks." Inuyasha said simply.

***

Minutes later they arrived just as the sun disappeared behind the horizon. "Damn I hate this shit." Inuyasha groaned as his inu ears disappeared and human ones began to form. Soon it was done. Inuyasha was human once again.

Sakura: Ok. I think this is where I'll stop this chapter. Don't worry, I think next chapter will be around 9 pages because usually it's 7 but today it was 8 and I'm still not where I need to be. So guess what?

Shippou: I'm just glad I've been mentioned. ^.^

Sakura: You guessed right reviewers! Next chapter is the one I know you've all been waiting for. Now here's a little note that'll help you along. . .

Sakura(5 x Reviews)= Faster Chapter11

To put it simply, the more reviews, the faster I put up chapter 11 because as you're reading this chapter 11 is already being written. But I WILL NOT POST UNTIL I GET AT LEAST 7 REVIEWS FOR THIS CHAPTER! *ahem* Don't think that meant yelling, it's just caps because it's important. I don't like writing in HTML so bolding is out. Oh well. I'm in an extra happyful mood because of the following:

*I went to meganimedvd.com and ordered 6 Angels and Inuyasha Movie 2!!

*I still had more birthday money left so I got to buy two Chobits mangas.

*I still have more left over to go on the Williamsburg fieldtrip. (2 beds, 4 people to a room, so I'll either be the fast girl who claimed a bed and stretched out on it or the unlucky girl who's not gonna share a bed with a stranger and is sleeping on the floor) BUT anyway, LOL. See you soon!

Ja ne!
