Inuyasha and the New Moon

Chapter 1

          "Dammit! Another new moon!" said Inuyasha. He was definitely not happy. His long white hair had turned black. His fangs and demonic ears were gone. Actually, those things didn't really matter to him. The point was that he was weak. Inuyasha hated feeling weak. It felt as if he were incompetent. So, he usually stayed hidden until dawn came.

          "Don't you think that you should stay hidden, Inuyasha?" asked Kagome.

          "Whaddya you know?! You're just a stupid girl!" yelled Inuyasha. This made Kagome extremely angry. Inuyasha could see what she was about to do.

          "Wait! I didn't mean…"

          "SIT!" And Inuyasha was down, his face jammed into the ground by the powerful spell.

          "Was that really necessary?!" yelped Inuyasha angrily.

          "Hmph! What do I know, I'm just a stupid girl!" said Kagome as she stormed away.

          "I think you've blown it again Inuyasha," said Shippou. "You should go apologize."

          "Apologize for what!" yelled Inuyasha. "I didn't do anything to her! I'm not apologizing for something I didn't do!" Sango sighed. She snatched up Shippou and set him on Kirara.

          "Don't mess with Inuyasha tonight, he's angry because he's human," she said. Miroku sat up and finally decided to do something.

          "You really should be hiding though Inuyasha. There are demons out just waiting to kill you," he said calmly. Inuyasha looked like he was about to say something, but one fiery look from Sango shut him up. He went back to the tiny, cramped cave to hide.

          It was Miroku's turn to keep watch. He scanned the ground in the dark, looking for demons. What he found was not just one demon, but thousands marching towards them. Horrified, he darted towards Sango to tell her the news.

          "Demons!" he whispered. "Thousands of them! What are we going to do?"

          "Inuyasha cannot fight, and both of us cannot take on thousands of demons alone. Find Kagome, we must run!" she said urgently. Shippou was sitting near them, thinking hard. When Miroku ran off to get Kagome, he finally dredged up what memory he was looking for.

          "I remember now!" he said excitedly to Sango. "I know where we can go to be safe!"

          "Where?" asked Sango.

          "A place called Enchanted Peak."

          "Why is it named that?" Sango asked questioningly.

          "Thousands of years ago," Shippou began. "A demon named Kirolo cursed the third new moon. Because he felt that certain half-demons were weak, he made the curse so that certain types of demons would set out on the third new moon to kill all the half-demons."

          "That's terrible!" exclaimed Sango.

          "Yeah, it is. But, a bunch of demons gave their life's energy to create a safe have for humans and half-demons alike. They named that place 'Enchanted Peak'."

          "Where is it?"

          "Five miles northwest from here. You will know it once you see it." Just then, Miroku returned with Kagome. Shippou went and got Inuyasha

          "We have a destination," announced Sango. "We are going to the safe haven, Enchanted Peak!"
