Chapter 5-Love Fusing Sides

(A/N: Just want to thank all my reviewers who have been reviewing for me. I would just like this opportunity to say thank you for your...enthusiastic support of my story. You know who you are and I would like to say thanks.)

Callisto woke up from her slumber as the sun pierced through the trees to touch her skin with warmth only to find Inuyasha was not next to and the fire had died out and was nothing more then smoke and shadows of what was once a blazing fire. Callisto looked around fearfully and wondered if what she had experienced with Inuyasha was nothing more then a dream or an illusion created from her own powers. Her fear and wonder however, were put to rest as Inuyasha came out of the shadows bring some fish he had just caught from a nearby water source. "You're awake again I see and just in time to eat something. Your stomach was growling with hunger when I awoke," said Inuyasha who as well as Callisto heard her stomach growl with hunger.

Callisto blushed a little in embarrassment over her stomach as Inuyasha prepared a second fire to cook the fish. "I'm sorry I..." said Callisto, but stopped by Inuyasha who raised his hand in protest to stop her apology.

"You do not have to apologize for anything Callisto. You were hungry. That is only natural that you should be considering that there was nothing to eat last night. I imagine you didn't have much to eat of anything before I met you," said Inuyasha as a smaller fire appeared then the night before allowing Inuyasha to cook the two fish he caught on a stick.

"No. I meant about last night and the...kiss," said Callisto as her face was now blushing more now then before when her stomach had growled.

"Oh! Well you shouldn't have to apologize for that. To be honest...I thought you were a good kisser," said Inuyasha with smile to Callisto whose face now looked almost as red as Inuyashas eye.

"I feel...I feel so...embarrassed right now! As if I...I did something wrong, but at the same time I feel as if what I did was...right!" said Callisto who was still blushing as she tried to look away from Inuyasha.

Inuyasha kneeled down as he approached her and touched her face with his hand as he gently moved it so her face was facing his. "Trust me when I say that there...was...nothing...wrong...with...what...you...did," said Inuyasha whose voice was kind and soft compared to his darker more intimidating voice.

Callisto sat their in shock as Inuyasha got up to take the fishes out, which were now well cooked. He handed one of them on a stick to Callisto as Inuyasha himself had one as well to munch on. Callisto could feel the heat of the fish on the stick so it wasn't easy to eat was right in front of her. At first she thought the fish would be burned enough that she wouldn't want it, but when her stomach growled again like an angry animal she took a single bite of it to calm it down and found the fish was...absolutely delicious. She finished eating her fish faster then Inuyasha did his even though he was taking his time eating his to savor its flavor. "Thank you for the fish Inuyasha. I had nearly forgotten what good food had tasted like," said Callisto who bowed her head gratefully.

Inuyasha had just finished his when she bowed her head out of gratitude. He then tossed his stick into the fire and then looked at her calmly. "You are most welcome Callisto. You know...I must admit that was the first time in over two years I have eaten with someone and that I actually enjoyed being around with while I was eating. I can't explain it, but I feel as if...I am complete when I am around you," said Inuyasha who got up and sat next to her.

Callisto nodded. "I have felt the same way about you Inuyasha. I thought it was strange at first as well, but I have enjoyed being around you as if I were complete as well. It is if my soul was not as wounded as before and that I could find some measure of relief from my pain and misery," said Callisto.

"That is exactly what I feel when I am near you. As if we have some form of bond between us we cannot deny," said Inuyasha.

"I do not wish to deny it, but...to embrace it as I wish to embrace you," said Callisto as she leaned her head shoulder against his hand connect with hers as they kissed once more with that same passion they had the night before.

As they kissed the each of the two felt something inside them grow and what was more is they could feel it. But they didn't stop their kissing embrace as if time had stopped those two in a single moment of time and that the single passionate kiss had some how locked the mouth from the rest of the world. When they finally let go the feeling inside them stopped growing, but it didn't stop being their either. It was if what they felt was still their waiting...waiting to grow again in their next passionate and kissing embrace. Inuyasha looked at her white, pale, blind eyes that saw nothing, but saw everything as Callisto's stared at his blood red ones that were his demon eyes. "I love you Callisto. With all my heart and soul," Inuyasha said as he placed a gentle demon clawed hand on her face and parted some hair from her face as he stared at her.

"And I love you Inuyasha. When I am around you I feel complete inside as if I found a piece of myself that had been lost to me a long time ago," said Callisto as she touched the side of Inuyashas face with her free hand as they embraced in a kiss one more time.

This time Inuyasha felt something inside him change as he continued the embrace with his beloved Callisto as he could feel his while body becoming weightless as he felt a tremendous power entering him. In his mind he felt something happening to both his demon and human sides. "What's...going...on?" said Inuyashas human side inside Inuyashas mind as he and his demon side found themselves being pulled towards each other.

"I...don't...know!" answered Inuyasha demon side as they both became closer together as they both tried to get away at the same time.

"Do not resist my beloved. Just relax and all will be explained when it is complete," said a female voice from with in the mind.

"Callisto? What...are...you...doing?" said Inuyashas demon side as he and his human side were now just a step away from each other.

"I will reveal all when what I have done is complete...and when you are as well," said Callisto's voice as human and demon side bodies inside Inuyashas mind began to fuse into one entity as the screams of from their pain in his mind went from the sounds of two people...into one.

Inuyashas his body was feeling the changes on the outside as well as the inside as his decreased in a little bit in size; his muscles slimed out a bit, but were still pretty strong looking; his eyes stayed red, but now had the amber center that they used to have when he was a normal half-demon; only his claws and fangs stayed the same as he could feel the transformation becoming complete. When it stopped Callisto removed her lips from Inuyashas who surprisingly became calm as she let go of him as he let go of her. "What was that? What did you...do to...me?" Inuyasha said in what sounded almost like a whisper to Callisto as he fell unconscious onto her from the mental and physical strain he had just gone through.

"Ssssshhhhh my beloved. Do not worry I just used my spiritual powers to fuse your human and demon sides together as they should have been from the start. Now your two sides will be all right because they are now whole...like I am when I'm with you," said Callisto.

(Somewhere in Kaede's Village)

"What's wrong Kagome? You seemed worried all of a sudden," said Shippo who saw Kagomes expression as if something terrible had just happened.

"I don't know why, but I thought I felt Inuyasha from far away. Almost as if he was alive!" said Kagome as she looked up into the near blue sky.

"But...Inuyasha has been dead for two years now. Correct?" said Kaede as she walked over to Kagome and looked into the same blue sky Kagome did wondering if Inuyasha was truly gone.

"I'm not so sure anymore Kaede. After what I felt just now it seemed as if Inuyasha was in pain almost and just when I thought it was an illusion I felt Inuyasha again only I felt...happiness. It felt so weird to feel such things from someone who is already dead," said Kagome.

"Weird as it may be child. I believe it was Inuyasha and my sister Kikyo who had that same ability to feel the others emotions towards each other. That is till Naraku turned them against each other and Inuyasha was bound to the tree for fifty years. I imagine from your experience with this new ability to you that Inuyasha is very much alive and that he's been hiding from you as well as us for little over two years for a reason. Now that reason that has kept him away from us no longer applies to him anymore," said Kaede in serious yet some what worried tone.

"What are you saying priestess Kaede?" said Sango curiously.

"I'm saying is that if Inuyasha is indeed alive he may decide come to visit us...soon," said Kaede almost as a warning to them that they may be in danger.

(Meanwhile...)

"Inuyasha my beloved...awaken," said Callisto as she waved her hand over Inuyashas face.

Inuyashas mind obeyed and he opened his eyes. He found himself on his back on the ground with his head in the lap of a blind priestess with brown hair and a soft smile that he couldn't ignore. "Yes...my love?" said Inuyasha who let out a smile as he finally understood what she had done to him.

"Can I ask a request of you?" Callisto said as she parted Inuyashas silver from his new half-demon eyes.

"Of course my beloved. What is it you wish of me?" said Inuyasha whose heart felt light as a feather in a breeze as he stared at Callisto.

"I wish...to visit your friends and family that you left behind two years ago. Those same friends and family whom you still care for still. That was forced upon you by your actions to leave them behind as to not endanger them that caused you wounds in your soul that even now...still bleed," said Callisto as she kissed Inuyashas forehead where the spider amulet used to be.

"Of course Callisto we shall go see them immediately, but for now...let us just enjoy this moment between us and just...relax in our...peaceful surroundings," said Inuyasha who placed his right hand in top of Callsitos.
