Sango's Pov

"It's good to be home" I said walking through the doors of Sesshomaru and Inuyasha's house.

"You say home like you mean it now" Sesshomaru's voice caused me to hesitate a bit, it was so soft, I spun around to face him and his golden eyes looked so gentle, so soft, enough to lay in and drown in the very depths of his soul. And I found myself unable to speak.

"Do you mean it; are we your home now?" He walked towards me, his steady stride the swift motion. I couldn't move and I could hardly breathe.

"I missed you" I whispered "I don't feel at home without you."

I felt his touch, warm, gentle, just brushing the hair from my face, my cheeks staining with pink. Then he took me in his arms. His strong, tight embrace letting us slide to the couch as he held me with no intention of letting go.

"I've never seen you like this" my voice was choked so soft; I even had to strain to hear myself.

"I've never felt like this" his hot breath rasped in my ears, shutting my eyes, letting him hold me.

It was so right.

"Kaede, Souta" Momma ((Kagome/Kikyou's mom) said smiling. "Let's give Inuyasha and Kikyou some time alone." She said winking towards Kikyou, causing her and Inuyasha to look away both being fully red, as she led the kids upstairs.

"Are you sure I-I can stay?" Inuyasha stuttered as Kikyou leaned into him a light blush on her cheeks as she leaned into him.

"I..I like it if you did" Kikyou said blushing darker leaning into kiss him.

Inuyasha smiled as he touched her cheek noticing his claws slowly begin to disappear.

'My My claws' Inuyasha thought jumping up Kikyou falling slightly as she looked up at him. "I'll be right back…" Inuyasha said racing to Kikyou's bathroom. "Man, how could I forget' Inuyasha trembled pulling out his cell phone with shaky hands, looking at his now black hair.

"Sesshomaru" Sango moaned snuggling deeper into him.

"Hungh" Sesshomaru mumbled giving off a grunt

"The phone is…"

"Let it"

The message machine began to play; Sesshomaru's mono-tone voice filled the room. "Were not here, you know what to do +Beep+"

"Sesshomaru!" Inuyasha screamed into the machine. "I f-forgot what tonight was…man get your as up! I need your help, I'm at Kikyou's…my transformation…I'm…"

Sesshomaru bolted up grabbing the phone

"Idiot"

"Sesshomaru help!"

"You almost told Sango!"

"Oh…"

"So you're at Kikyou's"

Sango stood slowly "What about a transformation?"

Sesshomaru paused muttered something to Inuyasha and put his hand over the phone. "He's human."

Kikyou stood slowly knocking on the door. "Inuyasha?" She questioned. "I'll be right back out, Go sit down" Kikyou sighed, Inuyasha twitching as Sango's voice filled the phone.

"Hi Inuyasha"

"Sango put Sesshomaru back!"

"You're human"

"He told…"

"How?"

Inuyasha sighed deeply "It happens every new moon…"

"Do you love Kikyou?"

"What does that..."

"Do you?"

"Yea"

"Then why hide?"

There was a long silence on both sides only Kikyou's voice echoing in the background. Inuyasha looked at the phone. 'She hung up hun? Well here goes…'

"Kikyou there's something you need to see..." Inuyasha said opening the door.

Shouten perched on Kagome's window sill, "What's Naraku plotting?" he whispered, 'his targets obviously Sango…but what about Kagome' Shouten glanced over to the sleeping girl, she would whimper every now and then it was more then obvious Naraku was haunting her dreams.

Shouten moved towards Kagome's side, wiping a tear from her moist cheeks. "Shouten" He pulled back slightly looking at her empathically "yes?" "Please?" Kagome whimpered her brown eyes glassing with tears. "Make him stop"

Shouten sat on Kagome's bed running his claws through her hair. "I wish I could" Kagome rested her head against his chest. "Is this real?" "No Kagome…it's just a dream…"

Sango looked over to Sesshomaru smiling, Sesshomaru wearing an expression similar to 'what the hell did you just do?'

"You hung up"

"Yes"

"Why?"

"He doesn't need us" Sango said repositioning herself on the couch.

"His secret…"

"I know"

"But he…"

"He'll either tell Kikyou or sleep in the bathroom"

Sesshomaru snickered at the image of his brother sleeping on the bathroom floor mainly for the fact Inuyasha was so stubborn.

Sesshomaru took a seat beside Sango looking at her vacant expression.

"Worried?"

"Nah, he'll do the right thing, why are you?"

"…."

"You are"

"Don't be ridiculous"

"So your not?"

"Maybe…"

Sango looked at Sesshomaru and smiled. 'He only acts like he hates his brother, but I don't think he wants his brother to be unhappy, even if they don't get along' Sango thought resting her head against Sesshomaru's shoulder.

"You're a good brother"

"…heh"

Kikyou stood taking a step back out of pure shock, Inuyasha lowering his eyes to the ground in shame. "Inuyasha?" Kikyou almost questioned taking a step forward slowly coming over her shock of her lovers change.

"You're a human"

"Yea…"

"Why didn't you…"

"It's not permanent!" Inuyasha's head shot up, angry eyes locking with her own.

Kikyou's eyes almost shook, clouding with sadness as she turned her head to the side. "Does you hate being human so much? Do you wish to erase every bit of your human blood?" Kikyou questioned almost angrily looking at Inuyasha through angry tears now in the girls eyes, Inuyasha's eyes softening a bit.

"Kikyou…I…"

Kikyou looked at him, "Good night, Inuyasha." She turned to leave his arm gently pulling her back.

"Kikyou, I'm sorry I didn't tell you, it's just hard, I didn't know how, I showed you because I love you Kikyou, and I trust you with it." Inuyasha said looking down sadly.

"Do you really want to become a full demon?" Kikyou questioned looking into Inuyasha's dark brown eyes, his reflecting sadness.

"The human blood that runs through my veins belongs to my mothers, I don't know, but I've been told she was a beautiful and great women, a women who took care of me as long as she could…To become a demon would mean getting rid of my mothers blood, I would be shaming her, but to become a full demon I'm willing to lose this, even if I can never get it back."

Kikyou looked away, "A demon…but then we, we'd have a hanyou and…"

Inuyasha looked away almost blushing not considering Kikyou was ready for pups, not now of course but it just hadn't come to mind.

"He'd live the same life you did" Kikyou whispered Inuyasha looking away, remembering the pain, and that their child would always be looked down on.

"What about becoming like this? Would you lose your fathers blood?" Kikyou said looking at Inuyasha almost suggestively, Inuyasha's eyes looking into hers.

"I'd never considered becoming a human person, I've always dreamed of being a demon, It's the only way I've known well, Sesshomaru's way, so I guess that's the demons way I just I don't know…" Inuyasha sentence was a bit rushed, a bit stumbled and Kikyou could see the uncertainty in his eyes.

"If you wish to change to something other then a hanyou…I will give you that Inuyasha" Kikyou said the black haired Inuyasha locking lips with her gripping both of her shoulders firmly, inserting his tongue father into her mouth.

"I want to be with you Kikyou, no matter what I am, and I'd become whatever you want me too be. Demon, hanyou, this" Inuyasha said pointing to himself, his human form. "A human."

"What do you want Inuyasha? What do you want to be, more then anything right now, you and me and here what do you want to be? Kikyou asked softly, Inuyasha's eyes looking up at the pale moon from the window.

"What I want to be…?" Inuyasha whispered more to himself then to anyone else.

The next chapter: The shickon no tama

A brief outlook on this chapter, well lets see, this next chapter has well a lot, a game between Inuyasha and Kikyou for his humanity, Kagome and Shouten fluff, Arimi's return, Miroku's job, and last but more importantly maybe a lemon between Sango and Sesshomaru! ((Not certain if the lemon will be this chapter or not, I'll let you know when I upload it!))

PS: A lemon is not for younger readers, if you don't know, I strongly advice you too ask someone!
