Hey everyone! Did you like my Hojo bashing? Well I'm just going to get right to chapter 10! Enjoy! P.S This is a relatively short chappy, but I had to stop…where I stopped.

Chapter 10: The New moon

Inuyasha's P.O.V

I walked up the shrine steps with Kagome in my arms. I looked down. Her eyes were shut and she was fast asleep. My eyes drifted to her lips. The lips that were ever so violated. The lips that I hope I can heal. I gently laid Kagome on her bed and brushed a stray hair that fell over her pale skin. Before even the thought had reached my mind, I leaned down and softly pressed my lips against her forehead. My affection for Kagome had grown much stronger today for tonight was the night of the new moon. Instead of lying on my bead, I sat cross legged against her bed, crossed my arms and closed my eyes, just like I used to.

"Inuyasha?" Kagome mumbled. My eyes shot open.

"Yeah?" I replied quietly.

"Thanks again. Hojo just didn't get it the last time." I heard Kagome clamp her mouth shut with her hands. I turned around furiously.

"You mean that bastard has done that…to you before!" A deep growl formed in the pit of my stomach. I fought the best I could to keep it down but I lost and it escaped and rumbled in my chest. "Kagome… if he ever goes within 100 feet of you, you tell me! I'll rip the fucking bastard apart!" I was fuming now. HOW COULD THIS HOJO GUY DO THIS DO HER?

"Inuyasha calm down! I'm fine!" Kagome ran her hands all over her as if to show me she had no injuries. Except the way her fingers danced across her body made me want to take her as mine even more. Then that bastard would never be able to touch Kagome! I quickly averted my gaze to the window. Pinks and oranges filled the sky. I would soon be human. I could feel my desire for Kagome rise and my arrogant, rude, gruff personality shed slightly.

"Inuyasha gramps told me that I had to clean out the attic! Would you mind helping me?" Kagome asked sweetly giving me her trademark puppy eyed look.

"Yah I guess. It'll beat sitting around here all night." My eyes went back to the window. The sun just left the edge of the city and it was now dark. I looked down at my hands. My claws became flat human nails. My demon power slowly draining from my body. My hair went black and my eyes violet.

"Oh that's right!" Kagome exclaimed. "Tonight is the new moon."

"Obviously!" I shot back as if she had insulted me. She winced at my tone. "Sorry." I said quietly.

"It's ok!" Kagome began. "Now lets get cleaning that attic." The phone began to ring. Kagome held up her finger, silently telling me to wait.

"Hello?...oh hi Souta!...yah…gramps isn't going to be back to Saturday… but it's Thursday… oh that's right! We don't have school tomorrow!... yah, you can stay Yoshi's house… alright… bubye!" Kagome hung up the phone. I had a puzzled look plastered on my face. Without my demon ears, I wasn't able to hear the other side of the conversation.

"That was Souta, he's staying at a friends house tonight, and gramps is out till Saturday, so we have the house to our selves. Not to mention that there isn't any school tomorrow!" Kagome beamed. "Ok lets be getting to that attic!" She skipped out of the room and I followed. She began to reach for a string that dangled from the roof. "You might want to get behind me Inuyasha." I obeyed and she pulled on the string. Suddenly a large set of stairs extended down from the roof. I jumped ever so slightly and Kagome smiled at me mockingly and made her way up the dusty steps. I followed her hesantly and entered a very dark and dusty room. I'm very lucky I didn't have my demon powers or I'd be sneezing like crazy.

Kagome began bustling around; placing things neatly on top of one another and dusty off various things. I began to do the same. I lifted large boxes and stacked them against the wall. I kept doing so until I came across a chest. I slowly opened the lid. Inside were old robes and kimonos. I felt Kagome's hand on my shoulder and she peeked around my head to see what I had found.

"Wow! Those are gorgeous kimonos! They look at least 500 years old. I bet they were found here when we moved here. I wouldn't be surprised if we had seen these exact robes back in the fuedal era!" Kagome squealed. She bent over me and picked up a silk kimono that laid on top. "This is beautiful." She mumbled.

"Try it on." I said.

"what?" Kagome said puzzeled.

"try it on!" I said a little louder.

"Fine, but you have to try on that robe!" She pointed to a traditional men's kimono. I grumbled and grabbed the kimono.

"Fine!" I spat.

Kagome's P.O.V (will switch often during this section!)

I ran down the dusty steps, forgetting completely about the attic and it's desperate need to be cleaned.

"You can change in the bathroom. Meet me downstairs." I said to Inuyasha who followed me down the steps. I quickly stepped into my room and closed the door behind me. I took one good look at the kimono and began to get dressed. I don't know why. But tonight, Inuyasha seems…so playful… almost like a child… yet not. I finished tying up the robe and opened the door. Beside me I saw that the bathroom door was completely open which meant that Inuyasha had already finished. I tiptoed down stairs in search for a man in a dark blue robe. I reached the kitchen and saw Inuyasha sitting patiently in chair. It was the first time I had ever seen him in a different robe and damn did he look down right, flipping, gorgeous.

Inuyasha's P.O.V

Kagome entered the kitchen in a pink, silk, kimono with a neck line that was the lowest I've ever seen her wear not to mention the shimmery make-up and her hair up in a messy bun with chopsticks holding it together.

"You…you look gorgeous!" Oh my dear god! I just thought completely out loud. I looked over at Kagome. Her eyes were wide.

"Do..do you mean it?" She stuttered. I let out a low growl. Well the lowest growl a human could achieve. I started to move toward her. She squealed with laughter and ran up the stairs.

"Stop it Inuyasha! What's gotten in to you?" she asked. What had gotten in to me was beyond me! I just kept on going.

"I am a handsome Lord, and you, wench, you are in love with me!" I said playfully. WHAT HAS GOTTEN IN TO ME!

Kagome's P.O.V

What is with him? I ran through my bedroom and shut the door quickly. I put all my weight on the door to keep him out but of course, Inuyasha was to strong and he pushed the door open with ease. I ran to the far side of the room.

"Come to me, darling." I tried to hide it but I let a smirk graze my face. I decided to make the best of Inuyasha's new mood. We both laughed so hard we could hardly speak.

"One kiss is all I ask!" Inuyasha said playfully.

"Inuyasha! STOP IT! I'm not kidding! YOU'RE CREEPING ME OUT!" I laughed so hard, I fell into Inuyasha's arm. Right then, Inuyasha threw me on the bed. I began to laugh uncontrollably but was stopped by Inuyasha's lips on mine.

Inuyasha's P.O.V

Her lips were softer than I had ever imagined! Kagome's arms snaked around my neck. I deepened the kiss. She tasted amazing. My tongue licked her bottom lip begging to be let in. With out hesitation, she opened her mouth and I felt her tongue on mine. Oh how she tasted! I slowly moved my lips away from hers, both grasping for air. Our faces were inches apart, looking into each others eyes, breathing heavily. Somehow, we knew we weren't playing around anymore.
