After a moment or so Inuyasha asked yet again in a way, "Bring her back! She belongs here, not you."

Inuyasha had thought this over. He didn't want Kagome to stay here like Kikyo had when she died and came back. But he still wished he had another chance to treat Kagome right when she was alive, and he didn't deserve her then...

"I don't want to hurt anyone, but in the end someone always gets hurt." Inuyasha said wisely.

"Do you really want her back?' Kagome asked, sadly yet quietly.

Without an answer, Kagome walked over to the tree where she and Inuyasha had first met...

"I've changed since we met, I'm not the same cheerful girl I used to be, I'm much like Kikyo now, cold and heartless." Kagome had said this with no emotion……

Still Inuyasha was left with nothing to say. He was still shocked Kagome was here and even more shocked to know she was now like Kikyo…

Without any more words Inuyasha walked over to Kagome as if
to say goodbye. Kagome then pulled him closer as Kikyo had once done,Kagome kissed him….. He didn't know what to do, but he knew he wasn't going to let her stay…

In the middle of the kiss, Kagome turned back into Katona, but Inuyasha hadn't noticed until she pulled away and fell over

As she was on the ground she asked, "What the heck were you doing?"

She was smarter than that; she knew he could still have feelings for Kagome but she doubted that.

Inuyasha had grown on Katona, but she couldn't yet say she loved him…..

Drowned in her thoughts, Inuyasha pulled her up off the ground, ignoring her question….

Katona was tired now, but she had to make sure Inuyasha could keep her secret.

"Inuyasha, you and I both know about my curse now. Can you keep it a secret, can I... trust you?" Katona asked.

"I, uhhh... yeah, whatever wench." Inuyasha said gruffly, returning to his old self...

Inuyasha still had that same rude gruffness but it had lightened up a bit. He was only a bit different from the few years that had passed.

Katona had fallen asleep. It had been a long day.

Inuyasha still sat up thinking about the events that day, but he then broke through his silence and decided to look at Katona's watch. She had taught him how to "read" it; the time was 11:30p.m.

Then Inuyasha decided to get back to the events that day.

"Can you keep it a secret, can I... trust you?"

Those words still burned inside him, no one ever really trusted him. He felt strange that she asked him, how would he know, he'd let down so many people before….

Inuyasha decided to just sit back and see what happened...

Now it waspast midnight. Even Inuyasha was getting tired and everyone else was fast asleep, so he laid down about a foot away from Katona.

She made him feel comfortable enoughto fall asleep instead of staying up all night on edge.

But he always made sure to wake up before her, becausewho knows what she would think if she saw him….

Katona was dreaming of when she had come into contact with that Kouga demon…..

She didn't dislike him. He was just too…. Too... she couldn't decide the right word to describe him. He was just different...That's all that could be said, but he also made Inuyasha very angry, and she felt bad for that...

Inuyasha could tell she was dreaming and he couldn't take it, he wondered what it was about.

It had been a few days and the new moon was that night. Inuyasha feared losing his powers but that's what he got for being a hanyou…..

It all happened in a blink of an eye...

The night had passed and now he was a demon again………

'How can this have happened...?' Inuyasha thought to himself it just came and went as if it never happened he was amazed... Of course maybe he forgot it was as if it never happened he decided not to worry about it...

He then remebered...

If the new moon had just come, then the crescent moon was coming soon too. This was not good. How could he look at Kagome again?

He wouldn't know what to do, what to say...

Katona didn't want her curse to happen all over.

She knows what happens as the curse but she never remembers what happens during the curse.

She never thought for one moment that Inuyasha couldn't understand, he also had a curse that had to do with the moon.

Katona always put other people before herself, she was always so kind. She felt bad for Inuyasha; of course putting herself aside for worring about him.

Katona was now just mumbling meaningless words around in her head as she sat in a tree... It was the day before her curse would befall her...

She was always a cute, shy, kind person but she was always very rude and stressed at this time...

No one knew why eccept for... Inuyasha...She decided she could trust him but there was not much longer for her to sit around and mope...
