Well, here we go again. XD This is so much fun. I'm only writing my first fanfic, so, yeah. If people like it, I'll keep on writing. If they don't, then I'll keep on writing anyway! But that's not the case, so I'm not worried any.

And, as of now, I'm writing another fanfic, "Unlucky" for Fullmetal Alchemist. Therefore, I'll be working on both, and may take just a little bit longer to update. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Moonlit Showers aka InuKag Fan: Will do!

Kagomereincarnated: -I'll try and write as fast as I can! Sorry fer taking so long!

Snoochie: I'm glad you liked it. -

Chapter Five: Hanyou

InuYasha's talons curled into hands, his paws into human feet. Fur and feather had both disappeared, leaving beneath soft, silky skin. A human like face appeared under the dissolving beak, revealing those same blazing gold eyes, and fangs and human jaws. Dog ears peered from a curtain of silver hair. A new InuYasha stood before her, and Kagome screamed.

Not only did that silver griffin transform into a man, but he had transformed into a naked man!

Kagome suppressed a scream as the silver haired boy dived behind a bale of hay that hid in the corner of the room. The miko peeked between her fingers after she heard him hide. With a sigh and a heartbeat check, she wiped her hand across her forehead.

"What the heck!" she murmured, glancing at the silver-topped head that peered at her over the hay. "And who are you? Where's the griffin? Where's InuYasha?" she inquired rather demandingly.

He scowled at her, and glared with fierce golden eyes. "I'm right here. What did you expect? The flea told you I was transforming, chit!"

She blinked. Yep, it was him all right. Though he was no longer full of fur and feather, he still had that snappy attitude. "Well, I've never seen a transformation before!" she growled back, just as snappy.

"Well, before you do anything, get me some clothes!" he snarled. When she looked like she was going to protest, he lifted up a hand and showed her his claws. "See these? They'll slice you to pieces if you don't!"

Kagome gulped. "Bu-but...I dunno where to get any!"

"There are male stable hands, are there not?"

"Um...y-yes..."

"Then, baka, go steal some clothes from them!"

With a curt nod, she ran out, part in obeying him, part in fearing for her life. Kami, he's scary when he's mad...she thought fearfully.

Dashing to the end of the stable area, next to the tack room, she snuck into the male dormitory. She tiptoed past the slumbering men, picking up a few pairs of clothing and then quickly sneaking back out once more. Carrying the dragon decorated garments back to the stable InuYasha lived in, she tossed the clothing behind the hay.

She listened to the rustling of him moving about and dressing himself. She sat on the ground, rocking back and forth, blushing. She did not want to experience what she did earlier again. When the moving and the noise had ceased, Kagome spun around to see if the wardrobe she had retrieved for him had fit.

The clothing was a bit large, and it sort of resembled her own uniform. He wore a haori, same hues as hers, and the same intricate design running along the pant leg and top. He snorted as he waved his arms around, trying to move the sleeves.

"They're too long!" he growled ominously, flexing his claws, threatening to tear them apart.

Kagome blinked, a little weirded out. Was this young man actually the griffin she was talking to a while ago? She found that a little hard to believe...

InuYasha glared at her as he caught her staring. "What!" he snapped.

Quickly looking away, she replied quietly, "Nothing..."

"Well, if you don't mind, I'm going to leave this retched place now. Follow if you want to. Whether you do or not, I really don't care. As long as you don't get in my way, or slow me down. Got it, wench?"

Kagome walked up to him indignantly. "I'm not wench, I'm not chit. I'm Kagome! And I've already had to tell you before!"

"Hmph. Whatever," he snorted, opening the stable door and walking out silently into the quiet hall. He motioned for the girl to follow as he headed out to the garden area.

Sneaking across the grass and flowers and the fallen flower petals under the silver moonlight, they had walked over to the wall. Kagome looked up, confused.

"How're we gonna get over that?" she inquired, looking up to the top and stumbling, the heights making her dizzy a little bit. She brought her eyes back down to earth to glance at the hanyou, where her chestnut eyes met his golden ones.

"Like this!" He grabbed her wrist and flung her onto his back, and, while she held on tightly around his neck, the silver haired boy leaped high into the air and landed on the wall top. With a grin and a snort, he leaped back down again, Kagome suppressing a scream of surprise.

He landed nimbly on the other side, where he looked at the forest beyond the valley that the fortress was located in. He kept the girl on his back so as to not slow him down, racing about the mountain side until he had reached those trees, heading a far ways in.

When he was sure that they were hidden deep in the trees, he had placed the girl down, yawning, his stomach rumbling.

"You," he growled quietly. "Go find some wood for a fire. I'll be right back." With that, he leaped into the trees and rushed off.

Kagome blinked. "All righty then," she muttered, a bit confused. She shuffled off into the underbrush to go and find said dry wood. Quietly, she hummed to herself a lullaby her mother sang to her when she was young...

InuYasha walked around on ground level now, his nose following the scent of a wild boar that had been in this area recently. Every now and then, he'd put his face close to the ground and take a whiff, following the wild creature's odd smell.

His hand clawed at the sword that hung in his side, the sword that had appeared to him once he had transformed back into his hanyou form. The Tetsusaiga. The Cleaving Fang. The memory of what Kikyo had done still burned fresh in his mind's eye. With a snarl and a snort, he continued his hunt for the pig.

Kagome yelped as she had pricked her finger on a thorn on a bush where she was finding a little bit of firewood. Whimpering and sucking on the cut, she continued to collect the pieces of wood. Well, for a while, anyway.

As she walked further into the trees to find more wood, she had run her head into a spider's web. As a large black tarantula crawled frantically over her face, Kagome let out a shrill scream of fright. She ran around, screaming, waving her arms in the air, trying to dodge the trees around her.

"Spider! Spiiiiiider! AAAIEEEEE! Get it off of meeee!" she hollered as she continued to run laps around the trees.

InuYasha's ears perked as he had slung the slain boar's carcass over his shoulder. With a growl, he rushed back to the clearing, seeing that the girl wasn't there.

"Yo, wench!" he called out. "Where are you?" There was silence, then more screaming. Cursing, the silver haired boy followed the sound of Kagome's voice. Golden eyes spotted the screaming, running girl not too far ahead.

"Oi, what are you screaming yer head off for, you idiot? You want to get us caught!" He caught the spider, squishing it with his claws. Kagome paused, and then retched, seeing the dead boar on his shoulder, and now the dead spider in his hand.

"Ewww...gross!" she managed to choke out, following InuYasha back to the clearing.

The hanyou slung the dead wild boar over into the dirt, forming a little cloud of dust. Fixing up a fire, and then cooking the boar meat, he attempted to make a decent meal. Kagome had gone around scavenging out edible herbs and plants while InuYasha worked at the fire.

Together, they ate quietly, Kagome nibbling thoughtfully on the meat and plants alternately.

"So..." she muttered, trying to strike up a conversation with the silent demon boy. "How long till we make it to a town or a village?" She paused from her eating to look up at the inu hanyou.

He stared at the blaze before them, blinking. Then he spoke quietly, " Yes." He lifted his molten eyes up to the girl. "It's a place called Kasasagi Town. If we move fast enough, we can reach there by twilight."

A/N: Well, this wasn't five pages at least. XD I'm going to have to work on two Fanfics at once, now. But, since Summer Vacation's just around the corner, I'll be able to get more done. So, yeah. Look forward to it! XD R&R, guys!
