Chapter 5:

Night was coming and Inuyasha's demon powers were fading away.

Then Kagome flew up to him. "What happens on the night of the new moon?" She asked.

"I change into a human." Inuyasha replied.

"Oh." Kagome said. "Why do you always leave your friends and not tell them?"

"Do you always ask this many questions?" Inuyasha asked.

"Well I never had anyone to talk to other than my mother until she died." Kagome replied. "I never talked to any of the other fairies or pixies, and if I was, then I would be fighting with them."

"Why didn't the other fairies like you?" Inuyasha asked.

"Because I'm different from them. They always said that I wasn't a real pixie, and that I wasn't as pretty as them just because my wings were black. And all the other pixies were the colors of the rainbow." Kagome replied.

"What do you mean, not a real pixie?" Inuyasha asked.

"I don't know. I asked my mother, and she told me that I was a pixie and not to listen to them." Kagome replied. "I remember on my last birthday, my mother said things would be different for me after that. But I never understood what she meant."

"What happened to your mother?" Inuyasha asked.

"She was killed by a demon." Kagome replied, trying not to cry. "What about you? Don't you have a mother or any family?"

"My mother died when I was little, and I don't remember my father, and I have a brother who wants to kill me." Inuyasha replied.

"Why does he want to kill you?" Kagome asked.

Then Inuyasha picked up the sword he had by his side. "Because he wants this." Inuyasha replied. "But my father left it to me."

Then the sun had set completely, and Inuyasha started to change. His hair turned from silver to black, his dog ears disappeared and human ears grew on the side of his head, his eyes changed from gold to blue, his fangs disappeared and he had normal teeth, and his claws shortened until they were nothing but finger nails.

"Are you human now?" Kagome asked. Then a puff of smoke formed around her, but not like last time. It started with a little bit of smoke, then the puff got bigger and bigger until it was like a huge cloud that formed in front of Inuyasha.

"Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled as he tried to blow the smoke away, but it didn't work this time. He hit the puff and his hand bounced back, like it was rubber. "What the?"

After a few minutes, the puff slowly disappeared to reveal Kagome, but she was the size of a human.

"What happened?" Inuyasha asked.

"I don't know. I didn't sneeze, so why am I the same size as you?" Kagome asked. Then she noticed that something was missing. "My wings! What happed to my wings?! I'm like a regular human!"

"Hasn't it happened before?" Inuyasha asked.

"No! Do you think I would be this surprised if it had?!" Kagome yelled. Then she tried to use her powers to lift some stones that sat next to her, but they wouldn't move. "My powers don't even work!"

"Maybe you change into a human every once in a while?" Inuyasha suggested.

"But it's never happened before! This has happened to you before! You're a half demon!" Kagome yelled.

"That's not my fault." Inuyasha stated. "I guess you'll just have to deal with it."

"Deal with it?! How can I deal with it?! I'm human for Christ sake! What am I supposed to do?!" Kagome yelled.

"Don't wonder off." Inuyasha replied.

"I could barely walk last time I was your size! How do you expect me to wonder off!?" Kagome yelled.

"I don't know." Inuyasha replied, then he got up.

"Wait! You're not gonna just leave me out here are you?!" Kagome yelled.

"Why not?" Inuyasha asked.

"Because I can't walk!" Kagome yelled as she tried to get up. "You can't just leave me here!"

"Whatever." Inuyasha sighed, then walked over to Kagome and lifted her up. Then he carried her back into the hut and set her down.

"Who that Inuyasha?" Miroku asked with a smirk on his face.

"It's Kagome." Inuyasha replied.

"I thought Kagome was a pixie?" Shippo asked.

"Yeah, but something happened to her." Inuyasha replied.

"I don't know what's wrong with me!" Kagome yelled. "This has never happened before!"

"Kagome?" Keade asked. "By any chance, was your mother the White Fairy of the forest?"

"Yeah. Why?" Kagome asked.

"Because it's the answer to everything." Keade replied. "You said your mother was kill did you not?"

"That's right." Kagome replied.

"Well, you have just inherited your mother's powers." Keade replied. "Your mother was a friend to all priestesses, including I. And she told me that once she died, her powers would pass down to her daughter, and that be you." Keade explained.

"But I never saw my mother turn into a human before?" Kagome asked.

"She could turn into anything. You just haven't learned how to focus your powers yet." Keade replied. "You turn into a human on the night of a new moon, and your powers will not work on this night either. But any night other than tonight you are able to turn into anything you want. You just have to focus."

"When did you meet my mother?" Kagome asked.

"There are ceremonies where priestesses and fairies meet one another. I met her at one of these ceremonies." Keade replied.

"Why didn't she tell me about any of this?" Kagome asked.

"That is a question I cannot answer." Keade replied.

"Well, looks like I'm human for the night." Kagome said. "Now if only I knew to focus my powers."

"I can teach you." Keade stated. "We can start your training tomorrow."

"But I'll be a fairy again." Kagome said.

"That does not matter Kagome." Keade replied. "Now go to sleep and we shall start training tomorrow."

"OK." Kagome replied, then rested her head on Inuyasha's shoulder. And Inuyasha started to blush.

"Umm...Kagome?" Inuyasha asked.

"What?" Kagome asked.

"Don't you think you're little close?" Inuyasha asked.

"I slept in your hair on the way here, and you're asking me if I think this is a little close?" Kagome asked in a sleepy voice.

"Yeah." Inuyasha replied.

"Too bad. I'm comfortable." Kagome replied.

AN- And there's another chapter. Wonder how Kagome will do with her training tomorrow??? Hmmm...
