Chapter 1

"Forbidden love"

The moon was high in the dark sky this night. The stars were visible but little else was. The trees blocked out the moonlight, even its grace could not get threw. So the paths in the dark forest were unseen, one could be lost if they did not know the way.

The birds in their nests of meager twigs slept with out noticing what was going about in the world around them. As was the ways of birds, they did not notice something unless it was an enemy, a food, or a chick. They slept with their heads beneath their wings and curled in their nests. Chicks, sometimes nesting beneath their mothers for warmth.

Two silent shadowed figures cut threw the forest brush. Quickly but silently, not even the ground squirrels were stirred from slumber. The cut threw forest as if they were terrified of something. What it was it remained unseen, an unseen terror that chased these two figures about. Yet they ran as if they were not afraid of anything. Did not fear a thing and as if they were as free as the wind.

The Figures collapsed onto the thick ground of grass and leaves. The moon lighting their earthly bodies in the night, giving them a glow like texture. Casting shadows over the trees of the figures, like dancers and the moon was the light, and the trees the stage.

Pale black hair rolled down the shoulders of Ai. Like she was but a sculpture, Her body so perfectly shaped to his eyes. Her hair fell from her shoulders onto his chest. A smile across both their faces, Toothy and happy, for what unknown. A happy ness that only the two held to them selves and told not a soul. Her amber Orbs staring into his deep grays eyes. His black hair was mussed all about from the forest branches.

It was silently happy moment for the two teenager who held them selves in a tight embrace. Ai did not tell her father of her love And Kenji did not tell his mother of his love. His Father, being who is father was, was very well aware of His sons love. Ai's mother knew about Kenji, and although she did not tell her husband, She was worried. The teenagers had been at each other for weeks in flirts and hugs.

Thank god her Father was so dense, He would be Pissed if her found about Kenji. They were doing this completely underneath his nose. Which made it all the worse. If he found them out, it would be a whole lot worse then just a talking to.

This was young love! They didn't care that their mother or father would be upset. So they were sneaking out each night to see each other? They were seeing each other! It made them extremely happy to just hold the other in an embrace.

"Are you sure your father didn't find out this time?"

Kenji asked Ai, Curiosity and worry wrapped about his words. Kenji was worrier; they all guessed he got them from Sango's side.

"Of course not Kenji! I'm not that stupid! "

she gave a silent laugh to her boy friend. What a worrier he was! Her little dog like ears gave twitch or so then calmed.

Ai's face hardened slightly, with worry. She stud and dusted the leaves from her dress, Kenji did the same. They spoke not a word but knew what was wrong. Ai's ears, had picked up something that made her worry. Not only that but, a familiar scent traveled past her nose. InuYasha's scent. Her Father as out their in the forest, or near it.

The two teens quickly dashed into the forest, stirring birds from their nests. Animals screeched in fear as pounding feet shoke their homes. Kenji and Ai, hand in hand exited the forest quickly.

They passed sullen glance to each other before they departed into their homes. Ai snuck into her house, a silently as she could her mother was easy to get past when it came down to hearing. But Her father was like a hard setting for the hardest game.

She crept into her room. And sled her slim body beneath the covers of her bead. Pointed dog ears still alert to any sounds that were about.

NEXT MORNING

Ai woke early in the morn' the sun had broke into the sky by now. A few birds were singing aloud as she looked out the window. Their house more 'modern' then the other huts that filled the tiny village. A sweet smell of breakfast wafted into her nares. A hungry smile crossed her face, and she left her room.

Kagome was with Kaede; both of them crouched over a little post in the center of the wooden room. It simmered and made sizzling sounds as the two women talked. Kagome was still learning to cook and sometimes her food came out burnt. Kaede was teaching Kagome as much as she could about cooking.

Ai took her usual spot near the window, were the sun usually came down on her and warmed her body. It was silent for quiet awhile. The only sounds that could be heard were the occupant's silent breathing and the simmering food in the pod. The fire also pitched into make some noise for the silence.

Like a shattered mirror InuYasha broke the silence of the morning. He walked in as he usually did with his usual face. Yet all not seem to be its usual, and this worried Ai. She tried hard to hide it and to her sake, was born with her father's gift of hiding his emotions. Her gave a soft huff at Kaede. Who, almost like she was one queue got up from her spot, and left the hut. Kagome removed the pot and served into two three bowls and set them in front of each of the family members.

Still the normal morning did not seem all that normal to Ai. At first she thought it was because Shippou was staying at Sango's house. Yet it did not explain the heavy weight upon her chest. A Horrible intense feeling that didn't leave the room for the whole meal.

InuYasha slid his bowl away, empty as a dried old bone. He turned to face his teenage daughter. He tried for stern but gentle look but missed. His look seemed a bit agitated. Kagome was calm as she seemed to always be now, but she still looked a little tense.

"Ai, Me and your mother are worried about you"

Her father's warm voice rang in her mind. Two pairs of eyes looking at Ai, with love and affection, but they were still upset. Worry started to run threw her veins. Its just another lecture, calm down! She told her self.

"You've been keeping quite a few secrets…"

Tried to take over from their to explain but was interrupted by Inuyasha.

"Ai, way didn't you tell us that you were in love with Kenji?"

Ai couldn't help but blush, even for a hanyou; she still blushed like a little human girl. It was kind of embracing for her. She quickly stopped and filled with hot anger.

"Because you wouldn't have let me see him any more if you did know!"

She snapped at her father.

"I would have and you know it! But sneaking out at night with him is Absolutely unacceptable!"

"What else did you except me to do?"

"TELL YOU MOTHER AND I! THAT'S WHAT I THOOUGHT YOU COULD DO!"

Inuyasha took a deep breath to calm him self again.

"Your And I and Sango And Miroku, Have agreed that until this is issue is forth resolved, you are not aloud to see each other. And not aloud out at night for the recent events."

Ai's eyes widened with sadness, Tears started to form in her eyes. Kagome sighed to her self; she knew this would lead to this. She loved her daughter and understood that She loved Kenji. But Ai still should have told them that she was going out with him. What she did was irresponsible.

Ai burst out with out thinking about what she was saying. Just Driven to say it.

"YOU CAN'T! I LOVE HIM!"
