The Moon Hides Its Light from Me
*~Faded_Moon~*
Disclaimer: If you wanted to take this into legal terms, if I owned Inuyasha, I'd murder Kikyo (again and again), really throw Kagome over a cliff and make sure no one saves her, and lock Rin up in a coffin, then take Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru for myself!!! I know, I'm evil and selfish, but hey, can you blame me for thinking they're so irresistibly CUTE?! (okay okay, so that wasn't really legal terms…)
Hey yall, keep in mind that this IS a Sess/Kag pairing fanfic, DON'T CLICK BACK YET YOU INU/KAG LOVERS!!! *gets on hands and knees* just to make yall happy (that's why I'm writing this isn't it?) I'm starting this off as a Inu/Kag pairing, but as the story goes on, the plot will change a bit and that's when I'll make the majority of people review happy (the sess/kag lovers) and NO, for all the hentai people out there that think this is gonna turn into a lemon like most of those Sess/Kag pairings… the closest thing to a lemon is gonna b Miroku's comments and groping l P

Chapter 4
Unspoken Hurt Between Two Lovers
Coming close to her, he took the miko into a tight embrace and whispered in her ear, "There might be a way without the Jewel's power." Her only response was a sharp intake of a breath. Inuyasha sighed, perturbed by something that he had realized a while ago: Kagome accepted him for what he was, despite the fact that he was a hanyou, despised by humans and demons alike. But Kikyo, would she only love him the way Kagome did if he became human? Would she hate him for all eternity if he didn't?
"I must go now, the others should be awake by now," thought aloud the hanyou. He turned to go when Kikyo caught his arm, pulling him so that he faced her again and sealed a kiss upon his lips. Inuyasha sunk into the kiss, almost momentarily forgetting about everything around him when a soul-stealer demon whooshed by overhead with Kagome crashing out of the woods on its heels.
'Oh crap… too late…' he pulled away from Kikyo. "KAGOME!!!" Inuyasha called after her, but she was already running back into the forest. He gave one last glance at Kikyo and started his pursuit after the young miko. Kikyo crossed her arms as she watched the red back of Inuyasha disappeared into the forest. Slowly but surely, a smirk crept across the clay miko's lips as she raised a pale finger to her lips where the half demon kiss her. Then turning around, she headed back to the village.

Sango slowly stirred as she heard the loud crackling of the burning firewood. She opened her eyes to find that Miroku had somehow gotten his hands on her chest. Her right eye started twitching as her she raised her shaking right arm to grab the Hiraikotsu without getting up. The sleeping monk moved slightly causing him to give her a small squeeze. Sango's eyes got very big and she brought down the huge boomerang on the monk's head. Releasing his prisoners, the hentai awoke very groggily, clutching his pounding skull. He was about to get ready to whack back at whatever had hit him in his sleep, but all he saw was Sango clutching the folds of her kimono backing away from him slowly with the Hiraikotsu in hand, ready to strike.
"Oh… Ohayo, Sango! Where are you going?" questioned the monk putting on the most innocent look on his face.
"YOU HENTAI MONK!!! YOU'RE EVEN LECHEROUS IN YOUR SLEEP!!" was the only response he got.
A slight hint of a blush crept up to his cheeks as he remembered his dream. He hadn't known it was real, but then again it's happened before. He moved his right arm to scratch the back of his head as he tried to wave off the fact that he sleep-groped with his left. Sango just sat as far away as possible glaring daggers at him. But luckily, for the houshi, Shippo came out of nowhere and tugged on Sango's sleeve. Keeping her eyes on the lecherous monk, she lowered her head toward the young demon so that he could whisper something to her.
Miroku looked down at the ground and mentally hit himself for being so groping in his sleep; he didn't want to lose Sango's respect for him, which was very little already. He looked up in time to see Sango's eyes grow as big as oranges. Jumping up, grabbed her demon exterminator armor nearby then ran to the closest well-concealing bushes and changed. Miroku just stood there dumbfounded at Sango's actions and watched curiously, as Shippo walked over to Kirara and petted her. Sango shot out of the bushes and grabbed Miroku's arm and started running off towards the forest on the other side of the stream.
"Sango?" ask the confused monk. They stop for a second and the lecherous monk saw this as a perfect time for a bit more groping but as his hand traveled to a nice resting spot on Sango's butt, the exterminator looked gravely into Miroku's eyes and replied in a single word that made the monk's wondering hands stop in mid-air.
"Kikyo"
And they took off running again.

"Stupid little runt of a human… Inferior to my lord, but still… Agh! Bakayaro… Good for nothing piece of crap…"
A small green toad youkai that everyone knows and hates, forced himself out of a bush that he had previously been caught in. The annoying excuse for a youkai landed flat on his face on the forest floor. He stood up and turned around to check for any permanent damages. On his butt, he found that he had small pricks adorning his yukata.
He groaned, hoping his master would not hear, but unfortunately he did.
"Jaken, you wouldn't happen to be mumbling about anything behind my back now would you?" Sesshoumaru eyed the despicable creature. A small human girl ran up to the inu youkai with a big grin plastered all over her face. She tugged lightly on Sesshoumaru's pant leg, making him look down at the small ningen.
"He called Rin a 'stupid little runt of a human' and a 'bakayaro' and a 'good for nothing piece of crap' then he groaned about abusing" the small girl offered cheerfully. Sesshoumaru sighed and looked at his servant again, this time with a glint of anger in his eyes. Jaken took note of the glint and bowed down so he was as close to the ground as he could get. Out of nowhere, Rin popped up right next to the groveling toad and asked, "What's a 'bakayaro'?" with the most kawaii smile on her face (^-^)
Jaken looked up and screamed. "WHAT THE?!?! WHERE ARE YOU COMING FROM?!?!" he panicked. 'If this stupid ningen keeps that up, I'm going to die from a heart attack!!' He flew off the ground and landed on his buttocks again, forcing the pricks in deeper and causing his eyes to cross in pain.
"JAKEN! Calm yourself, she is only a child and she can't kill you, unless you prove yourself THAT weak." Said Sesshoumaru while giving a death glare at his pathetic servant. 'Gods… will he die soon?? PLEASE?' Then with the change in the direction of the wind, his nose picked up a new smell… 'So it has begun…' he smirked to himself. 'I think it is time I paid my hanyou brother a visit'
"Jaken," he said with a slightly dangerous unemotional voice, "take Rin to the nearest village and stay there for a while. It is almost winter, anyhow. I will come for you once I have attended to my business." And with that, he left toward the part of his lands known as Inuyasha's forest.

Kagome flew over the undergrowth of the forest, hot tears blurring her eyes. 'Gosh… even after all this time… Why do I still believe everything he says?!' she argued with herself while she ran. She could still sense him though, and he was gaining… fast. She didn't want to be caught yet though. She didn't want to confront him. Panicking, she ran harder; trying to put as much distance between them, but the hanyou still was faster.
"SIT!" Kagome cried, but then she herself tripped over an unexpected root. She landed on her hand and knees, but she had two long cuts, one from her mid-forearm to her bicep and one across her shin. Blood dripped out as she struggled to get on her feet again. She heard cursing coming from behind her when suddenly, Sango and Miroku came crashing through some trees on her left. Pulling Kagome up, Miroku hurriedly bandaged her wounds as Sango watched Inuyasha struggle to get up.
"Kagome…" Sango indicated Inuyasha.
"SIT!" the trio calmed down a bit as they heard the familiar cursing in the distance.
After having finish treating Kagome's wounds, they started off again, this time a bit slower, and also, a certain hanyou stopped chasing them, now that Kagome had company. He slowly walked a several meters behind them; he knew that he would have to avoid most of them tonight.

Back at the camp that noon, Inuyasha was up in a tree brooding as Kagome, Sango, Shippo, and Miroku sat on the forest floor deciding what to do.
"Inuyasha can might still have a certain… danger, if we stay out here," commented the houshi.
"And Kagome has kind of lost a bit a blood from those cuts" added Sango. Shippo sniffed from where he sat on Kagome's lap.
"Inuyasha? What say you? Shall we return to Kaede's village?" questioned the monk and the hanyou's response was a low growl followed by grumbling.
"Do what you want." Inuyasha raised his head a bit, he sensed a soul-stealer nearby and he knew that Kikyo would follow him anyhow. He jumped down from his tree and started walking towards the village as the rest of the group scrambled to gather their things and follow.
They arrived at Kaede's village near late afternoon. Inuyasha had not spoken a word since they left their camp and Kagome had spoken to no one but Shippo. The demon exterminator and the houshi knew very well that the two had much tension between them two, and it was not good tension at all, but they both also had the very strong urge to beat the living and dead crap out of Inuyasha for hurting Kagome like that. They entered Kaede's hut together and sat around as Shippo, Sango, Miroku, and Kagome explained what had happened the last night. They had conveniently left out the part about Kikyo, but Kaede figured as well. Why else would there be so much silence between the miko and hanyou?
Later, after eating, Sango and Kagome went to wash up at a hot spring nearby and Miroku took this time to confront the still-brooding Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha… you know very well that you have hurt Lady Kagome, yet you do nothing?"
*mumbling*
The monk sighed, " I cannot help you then. But what if- what if you turn human again?"
"I DON'T KNOW!" bursted the now-angry hanyou.
"Then I trust you to fix this. Gods help you if you don't…" and with that he left to go greet the girls who had returned from their bathing. Kaede came out of her hut and walked over to the group and handed Kagome some herbs for healing her cuts.
The sun then began to set and along with that came everyone's gasps. Inuyasha felt himself being drained of power once again just as he had hoped for and feared at the same time. They retreated into Kaede's hut as he felt his claws retracting and his ears traveling down. Once settled in her hut, Kaede was the first to speak.
"So it is true…"
