*Last chapter IMPORTANT (:P) happenings (quite many because of the long chapter)*
~*~
Miroku and Inuyasha where walking in front of the others.
"Where is that damn Youkai?" Inuyasha muttered. "I can't wait to get that Shikon shard!"
"Say Inuyasha" Miroku asked, not listening to the Hanyos muttering.
"What?" he snapped. He wasn't even looking his way, but Miroku took a breath before asking:
"Yesterday, when you told Kagome-sama you loved her, why didn't you kiss her?" This made Inuyasha to turn in an instant, hitting him with all his strength.
"BOUZU! NEVER GET INTO THAT AGAIN, GOT ME!?" He yelled before walking of, leaving Miroku on the ground.
~*~
"Did you believe me yesterday?" Kagome asked. He snapped out of his thoughts and looked at her. Her eyes where so full of emotions.
"Hai" He answered honestly. There was no other answer; he should believe her whatever she said.
"Really? I thought you maybe just... you know... let it pass through and..." She stammered, tears filling up. 'Why am I crying now? Am I Delighted? Or Why?'
"I would never let anything you say just 'pass through' Kagome" He said softly, wiping her tears away, which made her feel a shiver down her spine. His hand rested on her cheek for a while, as he was just looking at her.
'What... what is that face...' Kagome thought. He moved his hand to under her chin, and made her look into his eyes.
"If you didn't believe me... I say it again then..." He started and bent forward, his face just inches from her. "I-Love-You" Then he kissed her.
~*~
"You still want to know me better?" Kayashi asked.
"Well..." Sesshomaru said. He glanced down on the medallion he still held in his hand. "Yes..."
"Okay, how to start?" She asked.
"What? You mean where in your life or what?"
"Yes, kind of... But you then?"
"Well... I'm not alone around if you thought that, I am being accompanied by this Toad-Youkai, Jaken, who is in fact pretty... useless sometimes..." He started while thinking. She watched him curiously as he talked. "And there is also this two headed Youkai Horse, its called Ah-Uhn..."
"Ah-Uhn?" She said with a giggle. "Who named it that?"
"I was coming to that, a little human girl called Rin named it... I rescued her life once... She had been killed by wolfs and I used my sword, Tenseiga, I got it from my father, to bring her back to life... Don't ask me why, because I really don't know myself..." She continued to listen to him tell about what he had been doing for, mostly, the last year.
~*~
"What is special about new moon?" Kayashi whispered.
"New moon?" Miroku got pale, together with Shippou. "What made you think of that?"
"The day after tomorrow is new moon" Now even Sango and Shippou got pale (A/N: Shippou was already pale of the first comment, imagine him more pale :P)
"Well..." Miroku cut of himself. "You must ask Inuyasha about that"
"About what?" The Hanyo growled, his eyes still closed.
"Eh..." Shippou started, but Kayashi finished: "About new moon" Inuyasha growled from deep down his throat.
"Shippou" He said, with a voice somewhere between angry and annoyed. "You have told everyone else, why not her now as well?" The Kitsune gulped. Inuyasha snorted and locked them out again (shut his ears somehow, don't ask me how :P).
"Well?" Kayashi turned to Shippou.
"Eh... it is like this..." Shippou closed his eyes, gathering the words. "Inuyasha... he..." He opened his eyes again. "He goes Human on new moon"
"Oh, nothing more?" Kayashi asked rather questioning.
"NOTHING MORE?" The tree others yelled. Inuyasha growled again.
"Ursai! You wake someone up with that voice" He had heard Kayashi, and smirked at them. "You haven't thought of that we have another Hanyo as well?"
"But what if it is on the same date...?" Shippou started.
"It is not" Kayashi secured them. 'Maybe, if these people already know about the transformations... I can tell them...'
"When is your time Kayashi?" Inuyasha asked.
"Night of the black crescent moon" She said slowly.
~*~
Kayashi hissed at Miroku. He turned towards her with a confused look and she glanced at the tree where the two were sleeping. Miroku and Sango smiled. Inuyasha had laid his arm around Kagome in his sleep.
"Quite cute..." Sango said dreamily. Miroku nodded.
~*~
'Black crescent and new moon? Quite interesting... might use that... new moon supposedly... but then we must get rid of that other one... Sesshomarus daughter...' The shadowy figure chuckled. 'I know just how to do...' An illusionary figure was appearing next to him.
"Ikado, you searched me?"
"Hai, I should need..." The man, Ikado, sank his voice to a low tone. The illusionary figure nodded.
"That would be fixed" He said and reached out something. Ikado took it.
"Arigatou" He chuckled.
"Just make it work"
"Hai, Naraku-sama" Ikado said. The illusionary figure of Naraku disappeared and Ikado smiled while holding up something in front off him.
"Now this might work" He chuckled as a red flash emerged from the shard. "I will get rid off two Hanyo bastards and turn down the lord of the western lands!"

CHAPTER 9 - TRANSFORMATIONS
Kagome slowly opened her eyes.
'What time is it...?' She suddenly noticed she was grasping Inuyashas red Haori. She looked up and saw him, sleeping. His arm was wrapped around her. 'Oh right... I remember now...' She blushed slightly but lay back, thinking. Suddenly two green eyes filled her view.
"Oi! Kagome!" Shippou hissed. "You awake?"
"Mm... pretty much" She answered the Kitsune.
"I'm hungry, can you make lunch?"
"Well..." She looked over to the others, who where looking at her curiously, and blushed again.
"Kagome, why..." She laid a hand over his mouth.
"Be a good boy and be quiet, I will make lunch for you then" Shippou nodded and ran over to the others again. She then tried to get off Inuyasha without result.
'Guess I need to wake him then... too bad... his face looks so peaceful...' she got out of her thoughts and tried to wake him up.
"Inuyasha..." She whispered and shook him a little.
"Mm?" He groaned and opened his eyes, right into hers. 'K... Kagome...?' Both felt their cheeks burning.
"Can you..." She said and pointed at his arm. He got even redder and took it away.
"Arigatou" She said and brushed her clothes off. He still looked at her. She looked back at him, trying not to notice SOME people's looks.
"I'm making lunch now, so if you want something you need to get yourself over there" She said and walked to the others.
"Sure" He mumbled and looked away. 'But not now... The others would question too much...' He growled a little, Imagining Mirokus stupid questions. 'Stupid Bouzu!'
~*~
Kagome tried again to not notice the other's looks. She was in fact started to get really annoyed. Shippou noticed this and jumped on Mirokus head, he was the one staring most... annoying...
"OI! Miroku! Cut it out!" Miroku grabbed him by the tail and lifted him up, ignoring him afterwards. Kayashi was the only one not looking... too curious. She was instead watching Inuyasha.
'What is he thinking of? I don't want to interfere this time...'
Kagome got out some things from her bag and started to make a fire on a fireplace that Shippou had started making, but wasn't finished. When the dry grass and the wood sticks got on fire she started to pick out her frying pan. She still felt three pairs of eyes study her, because Shippou was watching too...
"You guys have nothing to do!?" She asked with a ticked tone. Inuyasha picked her angry scent up, as well as Kayashi. Kayashi just smirked, Inuyasha got up, with nearly the same ticked face as Kagome. Sango, Miroku and Shippou weren't answering Kagomes question. They continued looking curious at her. She clenched her fist and started to get REALLY mad. She turned around, but Inuyasha got there before her. He smacked them all three on the head.
"Would you damn Bakas stop irritation MY Kagome!?" Five pairs of eyes stared at him as he realized what he had said. Kagome was looking quite... what should you call it? Happy, that might be it... somewhat... Ah well, Sango, Miroku and Shippou stared at him with their questions written over their faces: "What did you say?" Kayashi was just watching him smirking in that cold way that reminded him so much of his brother.
"What!? Am I not aloud to talk? Or is it the headache going to your head?" (This was meant as a joke from my side :P) He yelled. They smirked.
"Say exactly what you just said" Miroku said slyly; he was the one who was grinning widest.
"I said..." Inuyasha said, then waiting for a second. 'Everything or nothing... that's what they say...' He glanced at Kagome, who smiled and waved at him to continue.
"I said: Would you damn Bakas stop irritation MY Kagome" He said simply. NOW they stared, all of them. He just rolled his eyes and walked past them before sitting down next to Kagome. Behind his back Kayashi was the first to get control over herself. She shrugged her shoulders and lay down on the grass.
'He's quite a changing boy, isn't he?' She thought.
Kagome blinked at Inuyasha as he sat down, he blushed. 'Damn good I have my back against them...' Kagome started making fried eggs in the pan, and saw Inuyasha wrikle his nose.
"You can get Ramen sweetie, don't worry" This comment got him to lose all control over his face colour that he had gained under that few seconds.
"Arigatou..." He mumbled and leaned back. He looked up into the leaves of the tree above him.
"You're welcome" Kagome got back to the eggs. When the last of them was laid in, she put her watercooker on to get the water for Inuyashas Ramen. The eggs got finished as the water did. She put it into a package of Ramen and left it beside her as she laid up the fried eggs on plates.
"Lunch!" She shouted towards the others, who had made a little group and where talking. They all looked up:
"HUH?"
~*~
"Did he really say 'MY'?" Miroku was hysteric.
"For the fifteenth time, HAI!" Sango told him. She glanced at Kayashi. "Please give a hint?"
"Nope" Kayashi said. The two others sighed. Shippou was just watching them weirdly.
"That face Kagome had when she woke up..." He mumbled. Miroku grabbed him and looked him in the eyes.
"What face???" He asked. Even Sango seemed interested. Shippou told them about when Kagome woke up, mostly because he wanted to get down. Miroku let him go and smirked at Sango.
"Now they just have to confess it..." He started.
"You meen seriously?" Sango asked. He nodded and they said in chorus:
"Confess in public!" Kayashi sighed at them, and so did Shippou. They said their orginal motto:
"Adults" Shippou said.
"Agreed" Kayashi answered. Kagome yelled something to them, and they all looked up.
"HUH?"
~*~
Inuyasha grabbed his Ramen package and started devouring the food. Kagome shook her head and got her plate with egg. The others quickly joined and Shippou was the first to have eaten all of his (ecxept for Inuyasha, but he started before Shippou after all).
"You are a good cook Kagome" Kayashi stated as she ate the lat of her fried egg. "This was really good"
"Might be" Inuyasha said before Kagome could answer. "But NOTHING beats Ramen!" This made everybody (Including himself) start laughing. Kagome felt a precence...
"A shikon shard?" She said and turned around. "But I can't locate it!"
"Nani?" Inuyasha said. "How that comes?"
"Dunno..." She said. Everybody looked around. But none of them saw what they searched for.
~*~
Ikado watched them.
"So little Miko, you can feel Shikon shards? How about that you'll get TWO of them soon?" He smirked. "Now where did that useless horse thing go..? It lured them out into the forest, its job is done!" He jumped up and dissapeared into the thin air. Where he had stand, another person showed up.
"Ikado... Your job is almost done as well..." Naraku smirked and dissapeared as well.
~*~
"But there is still one inside the forest, right?" Sango asked Kagome as they put out the fire.
"Uh-hum" She answered. "But this one was never in the same spot, it was impossible to locate! I can't believe it!" Inuyasha growled.
"There has been a Youkai... Here..." He muttered. Everybody stared at them in shock.
"I didn't feel anything..." Sango said. Kagome and Miroku nodded, but Kayashi thought a little.
"You're right... it has been right..." She jumped some bit into the air. "Here!" She pointed to a place in the air before falling down and landing on the ground. The others (except for Inuyasha) started to shiver. Kagomes eyes flickered around the area as she shivered.
'I can't even feel the Youkai!? This is not funny... not at all...' She could feel an arm around her shoulders and looked up to see Inuyasha, holding her closely.
"Hey, don't be afraid, ok?" He asked her and looked out into the forest. Kagome nodded and leaned towards him. She could feel the others stare, but tried not to care about it. She kept an eye on the nearby trees. Then she felt a tingling presence.
"Inuyasha, a shikon shard is some way from here, to the left" She said. Everybody nodded and Inuyasha threw her up on his back.
"I promise we will get your stuff back, but right now... just you bow" He said and got off. Kayashi showed up next to them.
"The others take your stuff Kagome" She said.
"But we are fighting a demon soon!" Inuyasha said frustrated.
"They are still waiting for Kirara, but Sango said she was on her way, they will follow us"
"Well... Ok then" Kagome looked back and saw that they already had left the forest area they had been in far behind.
"Inuyasha, more to the right now!" She yelled. He immediately turned a little. "This enough?" He asked.
"Hai" She said and held onto him as he speeded up. Kayashi did for once not smirk, she had noticed one more thing, the Youkai that they hadn't felt, it was keeping the same speed... A movement turned her view towards the edge of the forest next to them as they passed a field. She saw silvery hair and a familiar aura, and knew that her father was keeping up with them. Inuyasha seemed to notice a well.
"As long as he doesn't try to kill me right now... or take the Tetsusaiga, its okay" He said. "We could need some help I think... That damn un-feel able Youkai is here... and I think I know who he's working for!"
"Who?" Both girls asked. He growled. "Naraku" Kagome widened her eyes.
"Then he knows everything needed... what if..." She grasped. "Inuyasha, does he know your secret you think?"
"Of course not! Why would he..." Inuyasha nearly fell as he suddenly remembered. 'WE TALKED ABOUT IT NEARLY THE SAME TIME AS HE WAS IN CLOSE!' Kayashi stared at him with the same expression as he had. Kagome gulped.
"He knows, right?"
"Hai" A coldly voice said.
"SESSHOMARU" Kagome and Inuyasha said in unison. The lord of the western lands had joined them, he was on the left side of Kayashi, looking straight forward. "How do you know?" Kayashi said.
"He was there at that time; I didn't notice it before afterwards..." He said.
"And you care? I can't believe you sometimes!" Inuyasha snorted. He looked over his shoulder. "Kagome?"
"Right in front!" She answered and he continued. They heard Kiraras growl from behind, their friends where coming also.
"So, why are you helping us now?" Kayashi asked. Sesshomaru didn't answer, but she noticed his grip around the medallion, and nodded. He looked up again, and spoke:
"Another thing, he holds one of those shards you seek, red glowing one"
"Tainted" Kagome said. "It must've been that one I felt, but he surely held it secretly"
"Spell or barrier" Kayashi said, looking forward, wrinkling her nose. "Blood?" Sesshomaru and Inuyasha sniffed in the air.
"Youkai blood? What the hell is going on?" Inuyasha growled. Sesshomaru stared, thinking.
"That Youkai had one shard, right?" he said
"Hai" Kagome said. "He used it to mutant that horse"
"Why would he then kill it again?"
"Kill?" all three said. "Wait a second..." Kayashi began. They stopped in a meadow where the corpse of a Youkai laid; you could from the heads see that it was the one they had been seeking.
"I think you all have been tricked into this..." Sesshomaru said. "He wanted you here now for some reason..."
"And I think I found it..." Kagome said as the sun went down.
"What... DAMN!" Kayashi yelped.
"Two tainted shikon shards... and a Hanyo turned human..." Sesshomaru said slowly. "What could two tainted shards do?" Inuyasha uttered a row of curses as his Hanyo form turned human. Kagome got off him and looked around.
"Yes, what could two shards do?" Ikado asked from a tree. He immediately got the fours attention.
"Who the Hell are you?" Inuyasha yelled. Kagome saw the two glowing shards in his hand, red... Tainted.
"Name's Ikado, thanks for asking" Ikado answered, not stepping out of the shadows. Sesshomaru smirked.
"So, what brings you here?" he asked.
"Oh..." Ikado said, chuckling. Kagome saw him move one shard to the top of his finger. "Nothing special..." He snapped the shard away...
"Watch out!" Kagome said while trying to push the shards goal away... Kayashi. She was to late. The shard hit Kayashi in the throat.
"What the..." Kayashi started and took her hand to her throat. "Wh... what's happening...?" she started to shake. 'What's happening to me..?'
"Kagome! Get away from her!" Both Sesshomaru and Inuyasha yelled.
"You called her by the name?" Inuyasha asked him. Kagome nodded and quickly got away from Kayashi.
"In this situation yes" Sesshomaru said. "I realize what he wanted now"
"Kayashi... is she..." Inuyasha started, feeling a bit sick somewhat.
"Hai... Those shards make her Youkai..." Kagome said slowly. Kayashi moved her hands to her forehead.
'Pain... I can't stand it... WHAT IS GONG ON!?' Ikado chuckled.
"Now now, do we have a problem? One Hanyo is human and not to use, and one is turning Youkai, suddenly attacking you? What next? Hm... let me think..." He smirked. Sesshomaru growled.
"What do you really want?"
"Fun... the rest is just following orders" He answered. Inuyasha stood before Kagome, protecting her even in Human form.
"Where are the others!?" He growled.
"Oh, the barrier should stop them..." Ikado chuckled even more. Sesshomaru stared at him. Kayashi turned her gaze at them, she was hesitating the transformation, even if she was not succeeding.
"Father... do you remember what I said?" She asked, shakily. He stared at her. "The Tetsusaiga... Inuyasha, let him use it, for once?" Suddenly both brothers understood. Inuyasha couldn't use the Tetsusaiga... But Sesshomaru could, if he wanted to... Kayashi clenched her teeth and closed her eyes hard as the pain kept overflowing. Ikado chuckled.
"A Youkai can't use that blade..." He started but lost his words as Inuyasha held the blade out to Sesshomaru.
"I don't trust you, but if Kayashi gets helped of it... its okay by me" Kagome smiled a little. 'Kayashi is indeed a good person, making everyone friends somehow... and even a love angel... she is great...' Sesshomaru stared at the blade, then at Inuyasha.
*Flashback*
"Then you should be able to use the sword... in order to save Rin" Kayashi said slowly.
*End flashback*
'But maybe...' He thought as he reached for the blade. 'Maybe I can use it... for some other people... for once... and for you...' He grabbed it. He was afraid to feel the barrier rejecting him, but he didn't. He was holding the Tetsusaiga, without being rejected. Kagome and Inuyasha smiled at him and stood back.
"Show him Tetsusaigas best shot... and yours... brother" The Hanyo said.
"There is a way to save Kayashi from this" Kagome said as Sesshomaru transformed the blade. "You have Tenseiga, right?"
"Hai, and?"
"Cut that shard out of her throat" Kagome continued. "If she dies, heal her, I know you can!" Sesshomaru watched her a moment and then nodded. Ikado didn't hear them, he was to busy trying to figure out how Sesshomaru could wield the Tetsusaiga.
"I take you first" Sesshomaru said, pointing towards Ikado. He snapped out of his thoughts.
"Don't be stupid" He said, and fused with the shadows. "You have your little friend to worry about..." He disappeared.
"Irritating guy" Sesshomaru and Inuyasha said together. Kagome turned around, looking into the forest.
"Inuyasha" She whispered. "Naraku is close by..." Inuyasha growled a little, though he was human, but did look at Kayashi. She was rising up. She was still shaking, hesitating, but the transformation was going on. Pulsing sounds echoed over the meadow.
"Was it like this with... me?" Inuyasha asked. Kagome nodded. "It was"
"How long can she stand against the shard?" Sesshomaru asked her.
"Not long" Inuyasha said. "It rises you power pretty much, AND it's tainted, which makes it evil..."
"We need to get the shard out before that happens" Kagome said.
"Easy said, hard done" Sesshomaru said but started approaching. 'I always thought I could cut the throat of anything... but I didn't expect it would be my daughter...' Kayashi had her fist clenched; eyes closed and growled, she couldn't hold much longer. Sesshomaru turned his head towards the other two.
"Suggest you don't watch this" He said. Kagome covered her eyes, but Inuyasha only barely grimaced.
"The shard is just above the shoulders" Kagome said shakily. Sesshomaru nodded. He held the blade in front off him. 'I kill someone to save her? Ah well... hope this is allowed Tetsusaiga...' He concentrated on the spot of the throat just above the shoulders and drew the blade somewhat back. 'Just cut it out, I will heal her later...'
"Do it quickly" Kayashi said weakly, looking up at him. Her eyes where already red, but her voice and mind where still normal. "I don't want to stay like this... and I trust you"
"I'm sorry about this..." Sesshomaru whispered and cut. Kayashi only felt the hot crimson blood flow from her throat before she fell into darkness.
'I trust you...'
~*~
Sesshomaru threw the Tetsusaiga away immediately.
'That was the worst thing... I ever done...' he thought as he searched for the Tenseiga by his side, he couldn't turn his gaze from his daughter. The blood was flowing from her throat, colouring the grass under her. Her eyes closed and... at least it was only a... well half small cut. Inuyasha got up next to him, still holding Kagome.
"Damn... I can't see if the shard is here!" he yelled. Kagome hulked.
"I must watch then?" she asked. Inuyasha sighed. "Not much else to do..." Kagome turned around and grasped at the sight, trying not to faint. Inuyasha held her closely.
"The shard?" He asked. She reached out and took it from a place next to Kayashi, she was feeling awfully sick. It turned from red to pink. She then turned around and sobbed against Inuyasha.
"It's okay... don't worry..." he calmed her. Sesshomaru got out the Tenseiga and held it out towards Kayashi. 'What if it of some reason wouldn't work...?' Tenseiga Pulsated once and he saw the messengers from the other side.
"This one's NOT meant for you!" He said coldly and cut them. A blue flash showed and the messengers disappeared. Both Inuyasha and Sesshomaru took a relieved breath as the cut in the female Hanyos throat got together and stopped bleeding. Kagome looked back again, with red eyes from her cries and she swallowed. Kayashi twitched her ears.
"Mhmm..." She groaned and opened her eyes. The three others broke up in a smile. She sat up and held her head.
"Man, that is NOT something I want to go through again..." She looked at her bloodstained Haori and shrugged. "None of it" Inuyasha let go of Kagome and got away to get the Tetsusaiga. He put it back into its sheath and sighed.
"Well... seems like you could help brother" He muttered. Sesshomaru smirked.
"Seems so" They heard Kiraras growl from a distant. Sesshomaru turned to Kayashi. "I follow after that guy Ikado" She nodded and he set off. Three people where watching him as he left. 'Who had thought I'd ever would get along with him?'
"None..." Kayashi answered quietly and turned to look for the others together with Inuyasha and Kagome.

*Last chapter IMPORTANT (:P) happenings (quite many because of the long chapter)*
~*~
Miroku and Inuyasha where walking in front of the others.
"Where is that damn Youkai?" Inuyasha muttered. "I can't wait to get that Shikon shard!"
"Say Inuyasha" Miroku asked, not listening to the Hanyos muttering.
"What?" he snapped. He wasn't even looking his way, but Miroku took a breath before asking:
"Yesterday, when you told Kagome-sama you loved her, why didn't you kiss her?" This made Inuyasha to turn in an instant, hitting him with all his strength.
"BOUZU! NEVER GET INTO THAT AGAIN, GOT ME!?" He yelled before walking of, leaving Miroku on the ground.
~*~
"Did you believe me yesterday?" Kagome asked. He snapped out of his thoughts and looked at her. Her eyes where so full of emotions.
"Hai" He answered honestly. There was no other answer; he should believe her whatever she said.
"Really? I thought you maybe just... you know... let it pass through and..." She stammered, tears filling up. 'Why am I crying now? Am I Delighted? Or Why?'
"I would never let anything you say just 'pass through' Kagome" He said softly, wiping her tears away, which made her feel a shiver down her spine. His hand rested on her cheek for a while, as he was just looking at her.
'What... what is that face...' Kagome thought. He moved his hand to under her chin, and made her look into his eyes.
"If you didn't believe me... I say it again then..." He started and bent forward, his face just inches from her. "I-Love-You" Then he kissed her.
~*~
"You still want to know me better?" Kayashi asked.
"Well..." Sesshomaru said. He glanced down on the medallion he still held in his hand. "Yes..."
"Okay, how to start?" She asked.
"What? You mean where in your life or what?"
"Yes, kind of... But you then?"
"Well... I'm not alone around if you thought that, I am being accompanied by this Toad-Youkai, Jaken, who is in fact pretty... useless sometimes..." He started while thinking. She watched him curiously as he talked. "And there is also this two headed Youkai Horse, its called Ah-Uhn..."
"Ah-Uhn?" She said with a giggle. "Who named it that?"
"I was coming to that, a little human girl called Rin named it... I rescued her life once... She had been killed by wolfs and I used my sword, Tenseiga, I got it from my father, to bring her back to life... Don't ask me why, because I really don't know myself..." She continued to listen to him tell about what he had been doing for, mostly, the last year.
~*~
"What is special about new moon?" Kayashi whispered.
"New moon?" Miroku got pale, together with Shippou. "What made you think of that?"
"The day after tomorrow is new moon" Now even Sango and Shippou got pale (A/N: Shippou was already pale of the first comment, imagine him more pale :P)
"Well..." Miroku cut of himself. "You must ask Inuyasha about that"
"About what?" The Hanyo growled, his eyes still closed.
"Eh..." Shippou started, but Kayashi finished: "About new moon" Inuyasha growled from deep down his throat.
"Shippou" He said, with a voice somewhere between angry and annoyed. "You have told everyone else, why not her now as well?" The Kitsune gulped. Inuyasha snorted and locked them out again (shut his ears somehow, don't ask me how :P).
"Well?" Kayashi turned to Shippou.
"Eh... it is like this..." Shippou closed his eyes, gathering the words. "Inuyasha... he..." He opened his eyes again. "He goes Human on new moon"
"Oh, nothing more?" Kayashi asked rather questioning.
"NOTHING MORE?" The tree others yelled. Inuyasha growled again.
"Ursai! You wake someone up with that voice" He had heard Kayashi, and smirked at them. "You haven't thought of that we have another Hanyo as well?"
"But what if it is on the same date...?" Shippou started.
"It is not" Kayashi secured them. 'Maybe, if these people already know about the transformations... I can tell them...'
"When is your time Kayashi?" Inuyasha asked.
"Night of the black crescent moon" She said slowly.
~*~
Kayashi hissed at Miroku. He turned towards her with a confused look and she glanced at the tree where the two were sleeping. Miroku and Sango smiled. Inuyasha had laid his arm around Kagome in his sleep.
"Quite cute..." Sango said dreamily. Miroku nodded.
~*~
'Black crescent and new moon? Quite interesting... might use that... new moon supposedly... but then we must get rid of that other one... Sesshomarus daughter...' The shadowy figure chuckled. 'I know just how to do...' An illusionary figure was appearing next to him.
"Ikado, you searched me?"
"Hai, I should need..." The man, Ikado, sank his voice to a low tone. The illusionary figure nodded.
"That would be fixed" He said and reached out something. Ikado took it.
"Arigatou" He chuckled.
"Just make it work"
"Hai, Naraku-sama" Ikado said. The illusionary figure of Naraku disappeared and Ikado smiled while holding up something in front off him.
"Now this might work" He chuckled as a red flash emerged from the shard. "I will get rid off two Hanyo bastards and turn down the lord of the western lands!"

CHAPTER 9 - TRANSFORMATIONS
Kagome slowly opened her eyes.
'What time is it...?' She suddenly noticed she was grasping Inuyashas red Haori. She looked up and saw him, sleeping. His arm was wrapped around her. 'Oh right... I remember now...' She blushed slightly but lay back, thinking. Suddenly two green eyes filled her view.
"Oi! Kagome!" Shippou hissed. "You awake?"
"Mm... pretty much" She answered the Kitsune.
"I'm hungry, can you make lunch?"
"Well..." She looked over to the others, who where looking at her curiously, and blushed again.
"Kagome, why..." She laid a hand over his mouth.
"Be a good boy and be quiet, I will make lunch for you then" Shippou nodded and ran over to the others again. She then tried to get off Inuyasha without result.
'Guess I need to wake him then... too bad... his face looks so peaceful...' she got out of her thoughts and tried to wake him up.
"Inuyasha..." She whispered and shook him a little.
"Mm?" He groaned and opened his eyes, right into hers. 'K... Kagome...?' Both felt their cheeks burning.
"Can you..." She said and pointed at his arm. He got even redder and took it away.
"Arigatou" She said and brushed her clothes off. He still looked at her. She looked back at him, trying not to notice SOME people's looks.
"I'm making lunch now, so if you want something you need to get yourself over there" She said and walked to the others.
"Sure" He mumbled and looked away. 'But not now... The others would question too much...' He growled a little, Imagining Mirokus stupid questions. 'Stupid Bouzu!'
~*~
Kagome tried again to not notice the other's looks. She was in fact started to get really annoyed. Shippou noticed this and jumped on Mirokus head, he was the one staring most... annoying...
"OI! Miroku! Cut it out!" Miroku grabbed him by the tail and lifted him up, ignoring him afterwards. Kayashi was the only one not looking... too curious. She was instead watching Inuyasha.
'What is he thinking of? I don't want to interfere this time...'
Kagome got out some things from her bag and started to make a fire on a fireplace that Shippou had started making, but wasn't finished. When the dry grass and the wood sticks got on fire she started to pick out her frying pan. She still felt three pairs of eyes study her, because Shippou was watching too...
"You guys have nothing to do!?" She asked with a ticked tone. Inuyasha picked her angry scent up, as well as Kayashi. Kayashi just smirked, Inuyasha got up, with nearly the same ticked face as Kagome. Sango, Miroku and Shippou weren't answering Kagomes question. They continued looking curious at her. She clenched her fist and started to get REALLY mad. She turned around, but Inuyasha got there before her. He smacked them all three on the head.
"Would you damn Bakas stop irritation MY Kagome!?" Five pairs of eyes stared at him as he realized what he had said. Kagome was looking quite... what should you call it? Happy, that might be it... somewhat... Ah well, Sango, Miroku and Shippou stared at him with their questions written over their faces: "What did you say?" Kayashi was just watching him smirking in that cold way that reminded him so much of his brother.
"What!? Am I not aloud to talk? Or is it the headache going to your head?" (This was meant as a joke from my side :P) He yelled. They smirked.
"Say exactly what you just said" Miroku said slyly; he was the one who was grinning widest.
"I said..." Inuyasha said, then waiting for a second. 'Everything or nothing... that's what they say...' He glanced at Kagome, who smiled and waved at him to continue.
"I said: Would you damn Bakas stop irritation MY Kagome" He said simply. NOW they stared, all of them. He just rolled his eyes and walked past them before sitting down next to Kagome. Behind his back Kayashi was the first to get control over herself. She shrugged her shoulders and lay down on the grass.
'He's quite a changing boy, isn't he?' She thought.
Kagome blinked at Inuyasha as he sat down, he blushed. 'Damn good I have my back against them...' Kagome started making fried eggs in the pan, and saw Inuyasha wrikle his nose.
"You can get Ramen sweetie, don't worry" This comment got him to lose all control over his face colour that he had gained under that few seconds.
"Arigatou..." He mumbled and leaned back. He looked up into the leaves of the tree above him.
"You're welcome" Kagome got back to the eggs. When the last of them was laid in, she put her watercooker on to get the water for Inuyashas Ramen. The eggs got finished as the water did. She put it into a package of Ramen and left it beside her as she laid up the fried eggs on plates.
"Lunch!" She shouted towards the others, who had made a little group and where talking. They all looked up:
"HUH?"
~*~
"Did he really say 'MY'?" Miroku was hysteric.
"For the fifteenth time, HAI!" Sango told him. She glanced at Kayashi. "Please give a hint?"
"Nope" Kayashi said. The two others sighed. Shippou was just watching them weirdly.
"That face Kagome had when she woke up..." He mumbled. Miroku grabbed him and looked him in the eyes.
"What face???" He asked. Even Sango seemed interested. Shippou told them about when Kagome woke up, mostly because he wanted to get down. Miroku let him go and smirked at Sango.
"Now they just have to confess it..." He started.
"You meen seriously?" Sango asked. He nodded and they said in chorus:
"Confess in public!" Kayashi sighed at them, and so did Shippou. They said their orginal motto:
"Adults" Shippou said.
"Agreed" Kayashi answered. Kagome yelled something to them, and they all looked up.
"HUH?"
~*~
Inuyasha grabbed his Ramen package and started devouring the food. Kagome shook her head and got her plate with egg. The others quickly joined and Shippou was the first to have eaten all of his (ecxept for Inuyasha, but he started before Shippou after all).
"You are a good cook Kagome" Kayashi stated as she ate the lat of her fried egg. "This was really good"
"Might be" Inuyasha said before Kagome could answer. "But NOTHING beats Ramen!" This made everybody (Including himself) start laughing. Kagome felt a precence...
"A shikon shard?" She said and turned around. "But I can't locate it!"
"Nani?" Inuyasha said. "How that comes?"
"Dunno..." She said. Everybody looked around. But none of them saw what they searched for.
~*~
Ikado watched them.
"So little Miko, you can feel Shikon shards? How about that you'll get TWO of them soon?" He smirked. "Now where did that useless horse thing go..? It lured them out into the forest, its job is done!" He jumped up and dissapeared into the thin air. Where he had stand, another person showed up.
"Ikado... Your job is almost done as well..." Naraku smirked and dissapeared as well.
~*~
"But there is still one inside the forest, right?" Sango asked Kagome as they put out the fire.
"Uh-hum" She answered. "But this one was never in the same spot, it was impossible to locate! I can't believe it!" Inuyasha growled.
"There has been a Youkai... Here..." He muttered. Everybody stared at them in shock.
"I didn't feel anything..." Sango said. Kagome and Miroku nodded, but Kayashi thought a little.
"You're right... it has been right..." She jumped some bit into the air. "Here!" She pointed to a place in the air before falling down and landing on the ground. The others (except for Inuyasha) started to shiver. Kagomes eyes flickered around the area as she shivered.
'I can't even feel the Youkai!? This is not funny... not at all...' She could feel an arm around her shoulders and looked up to see Inuyasha, holding her closely.
"Hey, don't be afraid, ok?" He asked her and looked out into the forest. Kagome nodded and leaned towards him. She could feel the others stare, but tried not to care about it. She kept an eye on the nearby trees. Then she felt a tingling presence.
"Inuyasha, a shikon shard is some way from here, to the left" She said. Everybody nodded and Inuyasha threw her up on his back.
"I promise we will get your stuff back, but right now... just you bow" He said and got off. Kayashi showed up next to them.
"The others take your stuff Kagome" She said.
"But we are fighting a demon soon!" Inuyasha said frustrated.
"They are still waiting for Kirara, but Sango said she was on her way, they will follow us"
"Well... Ok then" Kagome looked back and saw that they already had left the forest area they had been in far behind.
"Inuyasha, more to the right now!" She yelled. He immediately turned a little. "This enough?" He asked.
"Hai" She said and held onto him as he speeded up. Kayashi did for once not smirk, she had noticed one more thing, the Youkai that they hadn't felt, it was keeping the same speed... A movement turned her view towards the edge of the forest next to them as they passed a field. She saw silvery hair and a familiar aura, and knew that her father was keeping up with them. Inuyasha seemed to notice a well.
"As long as he doesn't try to kill me right now... or take the Tetsusaiga, its okay" He said. "We could need some help I think... That damn un-feel able Youkai is here... and I think I know who he's working for!"
"Who?" Both girls asked. He growled. "Naraku" Kagome widened her eyes.
"Then he knows everything needed... what if..." She grasped. "Inuyasha, does he know your secret you think?"
"Of course not! Why would he..." Inuyasha nearly fell as he suddenly remembered. 'WE TALKED ABOUT IT NEARLY THE SAME TIME AS HE WAS IN CLOSE!' Kayashi stared at him with the same expression as he had. Kagome gulped.
"He knows, right?"
"Hai" A coldly voice said.
"SESSHOMARU" Kagome and Inuyasha said in unison. The lord of the western lands had joined them, he was on the left side of Kayashi, looking straight forward. "How do you know?" Kayashi said.
"He was there at that time; I didn't notice it before afterwards..." He said.
"And you care? I can't believe you sometimes!" Inuyasha snorted. He looked over his shoulder. "Kagome?"
"Right in front!" She answered and he continued. They heard Kiraras growl from behind, their friends where coming also.
"So, why are you helping us now?" Kayashi asked. Sesshomaru didn't answer, but she noticed his grip around the medallion, and nodded. He looked up again, and spoke:
"Another thing, he holds one of those shards you seek, red glowing one"
"Tainted" Kagome said. "It must've been that one I felt, but he surely held it secretly"
"Spell or barrier" Kayashi said, looking forward, wrinkling her nose. "Blood?" Sesshomaru and Inuyasha sniffed in the air.
"Youkai blood? What the hell is going on?" Inuyasha growled. Sesshomaru stared, thinking.
"That Youkai had one shard, right?" he said
"Hai" Kagome said. "He used it to mutant that horse"
"Why would he then kill it again?"
"Kill?" all three said. "Wait a second..." Kayashi began. They stopped in a meadow where the corpse of a Youkai laid; you could from the heads see that it was the one they had been seeking.
"I think you all have been tricked into this..." Sesshomaru said. "He wanted you here now for some reason..."
"And I think I found it..." Kagome said as the sun went down.
"What... DAMN!" Kayashi yelped.
"Two tainted shikon shards... and a Hanyo turned human..." Sesshomaru said slowly. "What could two tainted shards do?" Inuyasha uttered a row of curses as his Hanyo form turned human. Kagome got off him and looked around.
"Yes, what could two shards do?" Ikado asked from a tree. He immediately got the fours attention.
"Who the Hell are you?" Inuyasha yelled. Kagome saw the two glowing shards in his hand, red... Tainted.
"Name's Ikado, thanks for asking" Ikado answered, not stepping out of the shadows. Sesshomaru smirked.
"So, what brings you here?" he asked.
"Oh..." Ikado said, chuckling. Kagome saw him move one shard to the top of his finger. "Nothing special..." He snapped the shard away...
"Watch out!" Kagome said while trying to push the shards goal away... Kayashi. She was to late. The shard hit Kayashi in the throat.
"What the..." Kayashi started and took her hand to her throat. "Wh... what's happening...?" she started to shake. 'What's happening to me..?'
"Kagome! Get away from her!" Both Sesshomaru and Inuyasha yelled.
"You called her by the name?" Inuyasha asked him. Kagome nodded and quickly got away from Kayashi.
"In this situation yes" Sesshomaru said. "I realize what he wanted now"
"Kayashi... is she..." Inuyasha started, feeling a bit sick somewhat.
"Hai... Those shards make her Youkai..." Kagome said slowly. Kayashi moved her hands to her forehead.
'Pain... I can't stand it... WHAT IS GONG ON!?' Ikado chuckled.
"Now now, do we have a problem? One Hanyo is human and not to use, and one is turning Youkai, suddenly attacking you? What next? Hm... let me think..." He smirked. Sesshomaru growled.
"What do you really want?"
"Fun... the rest is just following orders" He answered. Inuyasha stood before Kagome, protecting her even in Human form.
"Where are the others!?" He growled.
"Oh, the barrier should stop them..." Ikado chuckled even more. Sesshomaru stared at him. Kayashi turned her gaze at them, she was hesitating the transformation, even if she was not succeeding.
"Father... do you remember what I said?" She asked, shakily. He stared at her. "The Tetsusaiga... Inuyasha, let him use it, for once?" Suddenly both brothers understood. Inuyasha couldn't use the Tetsusaiga... But Sesshomaru could, if he wanted to... Kayashi clenched her teeth and closed her eyes hard as the pain kept overflowing. Ikado chuckled.
"A Youkai can't use that blade..." He started but lost his words as Inuyasha held the blade out to Sesshomaru.
"I don't trust you, but if Kayashi gets helped of it... its okay by me" Kagome smiled a little. 'Kayashi is indeed a good person, making everyone friends somehow... and even a love angel... she is great...' Sesshomaru stared at the blade, then at Inuyasha.
*Flashback*
"Then you should be able to use the sword... in order to save Rin" Kayashi said slowly.
*End flashback*
'But maybe...' He thought as he reached for the blade. 'Maybe I can use it... for some other people... for once... and for you...' He grabbed it. He was afraid to feel the barrier rejecting him, but he didn't. He was holding the Tetsusaiga, without being rejected. Kagome and Inuyasha smiled at him and stood back.
"Show him Tetsusaigas best shot... and yours... brother" The Hanyo said.
"There is a way to save Kayashi from this" Kagome said as Sesshomaru transformed the blade. "You have Tenseiga, right?"
"Hai, and?"
"Cut that shard out of her throat" Kagome continued. "If she dies, heal her, I know you can!" Sesshomaru watched her a moment and then nodded. Ikado didn't hear them, he was to busy trying to figure out how Sesshomaru could wield the Tetsusaiga.
"I take you first" Sesshomaru said, pointing towards Ikado. He snapped out of his thoughts.
"Don't be stupid" He said, and fused with the shadows. "You have your little friend to worry about..." He disappeared.
"Irritating guy" Sesshomaru and Inuyasha said together. Kagome turned around, looking into the forest.
"Inuyasha" She whispered. "Naraku is close by..." Inuyasha growled a little, though he was human, but did look at Kayashi. She was rising up. She was still shaking, hesitating, but the transformation was going on. Pulsing sounds echoed over the meadow.
"Was it like this with... me?" Inuyasha asked. Kagome nodded. "It was"
"How long can she stand against the shard?" Sesshomaru asked her.
"Not long" Inuyasha said. "It rises you power pretty much, AND it's tainted, which makes it evil..."
"We need to get the shard out before that happens" Kagome said.
"Easy said, hard done" Sesshomaru said but started approaching. 'I always thought I could cut the throat of anything... but I didn't expect it would be my daughter...' Kayashi had her fist clenched; eyes closed and growled, she couldn't hold much longer. Sesshomaru turned his head towards the other two.
"Suggest you don't watch this" He said. Kagome covered her eyes, but Inuyasha only barely grimaced.
"The shard is just above the shoulders" Kagome said shakily. Sesshomaru nodded. He held the blade in front off him. 'I kill someone to save her? Ah well... hope this is allowed Tetsusaiga...' He concentrated on the spot of the throat just above the shoulders and drew the blade somewhat back. 'Just cut it out, I will heal her later...'
"Do it quickly" Kayashi said weakly, looking up at him. Her eyes where already red, but her voice and mind where still normal. "I don't want to stay like this... and I trust you"
"I'm sorry about this..." Sesshomaru whispered and cut. Kayashi only felt the hot crimson blood flow from her throat before she fell into darkness.
'I trust you...'
~*~
Sesshomaru threw the Tetsusaiga away immediately.
'That was the worst thing... I ever done...' he thought as he searched for the Tenseiga by his side, he couldn't turn his gaze from his daughter. The blood was flowing from her throat, colouring the grass under her. Her eyes closed and... at least it was only a... well half small cut. Inuyasha got up next to him, still holding Kagome.
"Damn... I can't see if the shard is here!" he yelled. Kagome hulked.
"I must watch then?" she asked. Inuyasha sighed. "Not much else to do..." Kagome turned around and grasped at the sight, trying not to faint. Inuyasha held her closely.
"The shard?" He asked. She reached out and took it from a place next to Kayashi, she was feeling awfully sick. It turned from red to pink. She then turned around and sobbed against Inuyasha.
"It's okay... don't worry..." he calmed her. Sesshomaru got out the Tenseiga and held it out towards Kayashi. 'What if it of some reason wouldn't work...?' Tenseiga Pulsated once and he saw the messengers from the other side.
"This one's NOT meant for you!" He said coldly and cut them. A blue flash showed and the messengers disappeared. Both Inuyasha and Sesshomaru took a relieved breath as the cut in the female Hanyos throat got together and stopped bleeding. Kagome looked back again, with red eyes from her cries and she swallowed. Kayashi twitched her ears.
"Mhmm..." She groaned and opened her eyes. The three others broke up in a smile. She sat up and held her head.
"Man, that is NOT something I want to go through again..." She looked at her bloodstained Haori and shrugged. "None of it" Inuyasha let go of Kagome and got away to get the Tetsusaiga. He put it back into its sheath and sighed.
"Well... seems like you could help brother" He muttered. Sesshomaru smirked.
"Seems so" They heard Kiraras growl from a distant. Sesshomaru turned to Kayashi. "I follow after that guy Ikado" She nodded and he set off. Three people where watching him as he left. 'Who had thought I'd ever would get along with him?'
"None..." Kayashi answered quietly and turned to look for the others together with Inuyasha and Kagome.
