Disclamer: We don't own Inuyasha bla bla bla, we only own our Aura and Hoshi.

Hey people another update…So here it is.

Chapter 9 New traveling companion & Aura's Secret

Hoshi sat in a nearby tree just staring off into the clouds as everyone was getting ready to leave below her. She wasn't planning on going with them still. She didn't feel the need to. Aura was where she wanted to be and she had no need to hang around Inuyasha at all. She had to continue on her own quest, but there was something odd. She kind of didn't want to leave; she wanted the company of an old friend. Plus she could actually hang around humans and they wouldn't try to kill her. Inuyasha wouldn't let her go any way or so she hoped.

Sango and Kagome had been talking quietly to each other while they prepared to leave. They were starting to think of ways to get Hoshi to stay with them (Ironic huh?).

"Maybe we should just ask? I mean the worst she could do is say no," Kagome whispered, hoping Inuyasha couldn't hear, but knew that he could.

"Ya, I guess your right Kagome. I can do it if you would like," Sango answered strapping her boomerang (author: ok I can't spell what it is called PLEASE someone tell me) over her shoulder.

"That would be great. I have to finish up packing any way," she said and smiled at her friend.

Sango gave her a kind smile back taking a deep breath. She was slightly nervous about asking Hoshi to come with them, but like Kagome had said, the worst she could say was no.

Inuyasha had been over hearing the conversation, and grunted as he put out the fire. He was slightly angry with the girls going behind his back, but he knew that he couldn't do anything about it. Plus he and Hoshi hadn't seen each other for over 59 years so it wasn't too bad. There was someone around that he could maybe compete with.

Sango walked underneath the tree and took another breath,

"Hey Hoshi want to come with us? We are about ready to move on and we are heading in your direction," she called up to her.

Shippo had been hanging around the base of the tree playing with Kirara, he wanted Hoshi to stay too, she seemed nice, and was another demon that he could use to bug Inuyasha with. He decided to help Sango out.

"Yes Hoshi please come with us! Please pleas," he said with the cutest little face he could make.

Hoshi was a little skeptical at first but couldn't resist Shippo's cute little eyes.

'Damn my weakness for children,' she thought. "Sure I wouldn't mind tagging along, at least until I can find my own path again or Aura somehow shows up."

She jumped down from the tree and began to retrieve her cloke that she had hung on a nearby tree. Though to her surprise she was to slow, and Miroku grapped it before her.

"Here let me get that for you," he said with a kind smile. He aseptically was happy that Hoshi was coming along with them, maybe something to distract him from Sango a little.

She gave him a nervous little smile and quickly took her cloke from him, and went to join the girls. Thinking 'he better not try and push his luck on me the little hentai,'

Now that Hoshi was coming with them Inuyasha was kind of annoyed.

'Bad enough there's already four people I gave to protect. Sure lets just throw her in to.' He bickered in him mind.

The three girls sat up front while Inuyasha and Miroku walked behind. Shippo on the other hand was relaxing in the basket of Kagome's bike.

Miroku couldn't help himself he just had to stair at the three of them. How elts was he soposto past the time, and besides Kagome, Sango, and Hoshi had nice butts.

Hoshi stopped suddenly when something popped out of the bushes a head of them. Being that Miroku wasn't paying attention he plowed right into her sending them both to the ground.

Hoshi pushed the monk off of her quickly before he would tempt to try something and began to glace what had come out of the bushes.

Kagome on the other hand was starring at it very interested with it

"Inuyasha it is one of Naraku's insects," she said stepping back slightly and feeling slightly nervous.

"Wait what? Naraku is around?" Hoshi and Inuyasha said at the same time and each of them become alert.

"I can't smell the bastard, and do you sense any shards Kagome?" Inuyasha grunted.

"No I can't. There is nothing around, then why is there a stray one around here," She said.

"He must have sent it hear to watch us," Miroku said standing up and whipping the dirt off his robes.

"I'll take care of this," Sango said and raised her boomerang and threw it at the wasp killing it instantly.

Inuyasha began walking again. Soon everyone followed, not saying a word. The wind rustled everyone's hair as the six of them entered Keade's village. Greeted by Keade herself, the gang followed. As the sun's last rays turned the sky purplely-blue and the moon rising slowly eager to take the sun's place, Hoshi knew what tonight was. Tonight was a full moon, the night Aura would be a human.

Aura awoke again to see Sesshomaru asleep in the chair next to the futon. Her head was throbbing and she felt so weak. Her hair, no longer blue but a blondish brunet color. Even her eyes changed brown.

She knew almost right away that the full moon had risen. Sesshomaru awoke soon after to see Aura sitting up, staring at herself. Then he spooked her slightly when he said.

"So, like Inuyasha you also turn human," he said and began to laugh.

"Stop laughing at me," she snapped. He grew silent then. "It isn't funny! It never was and it never will be," she added getting out of bed and tried to storm out of the room but Sesshomaru stopped her at the door.

She gave him a "what the hell do you think you are doing?" look. His only response was the same look with more expression.

'How stubborn,' Aura thought as she took a step backwards and went to the window.
