Wolf of the Blue Moon

Chapter Four: Train Hard, Love Harder

They all nodded and went into the kitchen only to see...

"Sesshomaru!" Inuyasha growled out.

"Inuyasha," Sesshomaru responded coldly. He shifted slightly. Not enough for anyone to notice, except for Kagome, since she was a demon," You," he said looking directly at her," You're different. You used to be the human my brother was with. You have gotten you Lineage Inheritance"

"Lineage inheritance? What are you talking about Sesshomaru? And who's the girl?" Inuyasha asked.

"The girl is none of your concern. A lineage inheritance is when a demon gets their full powers."

"So you knew Kagome was a demon all along?"Shippo questioned.

"Yes. I could smell it on her."

"I couldn't smell anything." Inuyasha huffed

"You are only a half demon and before you ask, he is but a kit, too young to be able to smell and recognize these things" Sesshomaru said referring to Shippo," Do you know of your father's inheritance?" he asked turning to Kagome.

"More inheritance?" Inuyasha yelled disbelievingly.

"No," Kagome answered completely ignoring Inuyasha.

"My father, Inuyasha's father, had a best friend who was ruler of the East and South Lands," Sesshomaru started, thus gathering everyone's attention, even the girl in his lap, who was previously more occupied playing with Sesshomaru's hair and eating her meal than listening," That ruler was your father. Our father was ruler of the West and North. I now rule the West and when my brother reaches Inheritance he will rule the North, but since you have no siblings, you will rule, like your father, both East and South together. Unless you wish to give the land to someone or have someone rule it for you, which I don't recommend since you truly can't trust anyone, human and demon alike."

"Wow, this is a lot to take in, but I just have one quick question... WHAT HAPPENED TO RIN! She looks about my age, but I swear when I saw her a month ago she was, but a young girl." Kagome shreiked.

"It was a spell. To make me look human. I'm an Angel Demon." said the girl in the Dog Demon's lap, and as if to prove her point she spread out two silver wings from her back," You forgot to tell her about her mother's side,Lord Sessohmaru," she told him,"but don't worry, I'll tell her. Your mother," She turned back around to face Kagome," Was an Angel Demon too. We were on our way to you when I got sick, but I'm feeling so much better now, so let's go outside and I'll show you how to tap into your powers."

Both girls just sort of skipped outside with both Inuyasha and Sesshomaru looking on weirdly.

"Well, that was just..." Inuyasha started

"Odd," his brother finished.

They turned aroung to look at the humans to see Kirara sleeping, Shippo sighing wearily, Miroku grinning innocently, and Sango eyeing the monk suspiciously.

The brothers just sighed. Inuyasha fell asleep in the chair and Sesshomaru decided to go outside to watch Kagome learn about her powers.

"Inuyasha?" Kagome called out hesitantly.

"What?"

"You know how I was working with Sesshomaru and Rin on my powers today?"

"Yes" Inuyasha answered slowly, not liking where this was going.

"I was wondering if I could-"

"No"

"What? I didn't even ask yet!"

"Yeah, but I know what you were going to ask."

"Yeah? What?"

"You were going to ask if you could stay with them and get trained"

"See? You can't!"

"Why not!"

"Because...because we have shards to find!"

"There are only two left since we killed Naraku and took Koga's shards. One of which is in Kohaku's back and the other is Goddess knows where. Besides, is that all I am to you? A shard collector?"

"Kagome... no..."

Kagome blushes and looks down, "We never did talk about that kiss did we?"

"No, we didn't."

"...um..."

"Yeah. When I told the hag,I mean Kaede, that nothing happened to cause the wolf transformation, you look like you agreed. Why?"

"Probably for the same reason you said it. I didn't want everyone knowing our business. Why, what did you think?"

"Nothing," Inuyasha replied hastily, too hastily.

Kagome just raised an expectant eyebrow

"I thought you were ashamed of it" Inuyasha mumbled blushing and suddenly finding the ground incredibly interesting.

"Inuyasha! I..." Kagome didn't know how to respond.

Inuyasha looked up from the interesting worm that crawled by his foot and into Kagome's shining blue eyes. Slowly their faces came together until once againt they were kissing.

And what a kiss it was. Kagome felt like she was on fire and the warmth was just flowing through her, seeping into her skin, into her very blood. Kagome felt like she was going to explode. She had no idea a kiss could feel like this.

Inuyasha felt almost the complete opposite. He felt cold, chilled. Like Kagome had overloaded his senses causing everything to just freeze. And it felt good. He never had a kiss that was this intense, this passionate. Not even with Kikyo. Kikyo, he hadn't thought of the dead priestess since Kagome first became a demon and he sure as hell wasn't going to start now, but later he'd think about her and what she meant to him, now that he had Kagome.

They broke away gasping. After a few second they caught their breath and looked up at each other. Kagome was just noticing his height compared to hers. She was one of the tallest girls in her school at 5'8, but Inuyasha was taller at about 6'1 or 6'2. That put Kagome at right about his shoulder.

'That's a good height. Not shorter that me, but not so tall I have to crane my neck'

Meanwhile, Inuyasha was wondering what she was thinking about.

'Why is she staring at me like that. Almost as though she was sizing me up. I hope she isn't mad at me for something'

"Are you mad at me?"

"What?" Kagome asks startled, "No, why do you think that?"

"You were looking at me funny, like you were sizing me up to see if you could beat me in a fight."

"Oh, sorry," Kagome said blushing," I was just noticing how tall you were. You're almost 6'3"

"Yeah, how tall are you?"

"5'8"

There was an awkward silence as they had no idea what to talk about. Suddenly...

"Wait a sec. You didn't kiss me just to distract me from staying here to train, did you?"

"Umm..." Inuyasha looks around and shifts guiltily. Then he remembered a movie he saw at Kagome's where the guilty guy started whistling inconspiciously. So that's what he did, while looking anywhere and everywhere, but at her.

'La La La LaLa La La La La'

"INUYASHA!"

"What!"

"You are so guilty!" Kagome bursts out, laughing," You were shifting in place, looking around and whistling! It was hillarious!... but that doesn't stop me from staying"

"NO! Kagome... I..I need you."

Kagome suddenly stopped laughing and slowly raised her eyes to meet his. Tenderly she raised her right hand and gently stroked his cheek. "I know. I need you too, butI also need to be able to control my powers. I don't want to hurt anyone, Inuyasha"

Slowly Inuyasha nodded." Alright. How long?"

"Give me until the next New Moon. About three and a half weeks, okay?"

Sighing residingly he nodded.

Kagome squealed and jumped up to hug Inuyasha around the neck.

"Thank You, Inuyasha! I Love You So Much!"

Suddenly they froze. Inuyasha pushed Kagome away slightly, enough so that he could see her eyes.

"I...I'm Sorry" Kagome stuttered.

Inuyasha wanted to cry. 'She didn't mean it?'

He voiced his thoughts, "You didn't mean it?"

"Oh, Goddess yes, I meant it! I just didn't mean to say it so suddenly. I was sort of thinking of working up to tell you. Why? Do you..." Kagome trailed off slightly.

" I Love You Too, Kagome" Inuyasha breathed.

"Truly? But what about... What about Kikyo?" Kagome whispered, trying not to think about Inuyasha rejecting her.

"What about her? I used to love her a long time ago, but that was just that. A long time ago. You're my present, my future, Kagome. Kikyo wanted to change me. Wanted to make me into a human, but you want me as me. You are always by me when I'm a half demon, always close when I'm human, and always helping me when I'm a fulldemon. I'm not saying that was a smart thing, because it wasn't. I could have killed you, you stupid wench! But you were still by me, and now I'm returning the favor by staying by you now that you're a demon." Inuyasha finished staring deep into her eyes.

"Inuyasha...I...I...Of course it was smart! I couldn't leave you alone! Who knows what kind of trouble you'd get into and then later need me to bail you out of!"

Inuyasha falls over anime style

"Out of that whole thing. Me telling you that I Love You, that Kikyo is of the past, that you stuck by me and now I'm sticking by you, all you got was that I said it wasn't smart?"

"No"

"Oh, thank-"

"I AM NOT A WENCH, INUYASHA!"

"KAGOME!" Inuyasha wailed disbelievingly

Kagome giggled a little bit and watched as Inuyasha stared to turn red and then blue before gently pressing her lips to his, silencing his rant.

'I could get used to having her distract me like this. Much better than 'sitting' me'

Slowly, they pulled away.

"You're my present and future too, Inuyasha."

And together they just sat, with her curled into his lap, watching as the sun set and later looking at all the stars.

A/N- Much longer than usual. Ireally gotinto this chapter. I'm impressed.

Kagome: That was so romantic.

Inuyasha: Feh (blushes)

He-he. Well, I'll just leave you two alone then, eh Kagome, Inuyasha?

Kagome: LUNA!

bye! oh, fans, incase you don't know (which you probably don't)-

Inuyasha: Of course they don't. They aren't a mind reader.

Kagome, why don't you keep Inuyasha's mouth busy for a while? Anyways, my nickname is Luna so that's why I chose that as Kagome's nickname when she's in wolf form.

Later Dayz!
