Chapter 2

Shira decided to travel along side the group, mainly for Inuyasha.They traveled within the Hirouki Forest which lied beneath the cavern. She wanted him to be hers, but noticed the relation between Kagome and Inuyasha. Kagome wanted him, but she wanted him more. Shira decided that she would do anything in her power for him and his love. She walked alongside him; cuddling on his left arm and recieving jealous glares from Kagome. Shira, pretending to faint, was carried within Inuyasha's strong arms. She knew that there was something special between them!

They reached a Hirouki Village and stopped there for rest. Shira knew this was her chance to get Inuyasha and that was what she planned to do. She followed his footsteps to the hot-springs while Kagome was talking with some of the native villagers.

Dwelling behind some bushes,she watched him with her eyes. She ran into the springs with Inuaysha crying fake tears. " Oh Inuyasha! I am having these awful nightmares about my past! The children that teased me, the destroyed life, the fact of being alone. I felt all this before I met you... Do you feel the same way?" Inuyasha was stunned. He did feel the same. The fact that he was unwanted, deprieved of his childhood, mocked by other children, and his destroyed life. He understood it all. He never knew another half-demon... someone that shared the same eternal pain as he endured. "I do feel the same," He said holding her against his bare body and caressing her back. She cuddled into his chest, staring into his amber eyes. She kissed his cheek softly and moved to his mouth. They fell into the water and held eachother in their arms. A twitch in the bushes alerted their ears. Inuyasha ducked down under the water using a small stick as a breathing tool. It was Miroku! What a Perve? "MIROKU YOU FUCKING PERVERT WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM!" Sango came which her boomerang bone and jabbed Miroku in the stomach, obviously, there was something going on between the two of them. "Shira are you alright?" "Yes, Thank you... Sango? That is your name right... I am sorry, takes me a while!" Shira smiled bashfully, " I will be back within the hour, I will make sure there will be no more peeping Toms... Right Miroku?" She glared at the mischievous monk as he gulped. Sango and Miroku left and Inuyasha lifted his face out of the water. At that very moment, Inuyasha reminded her of a boy from the frail village she lived in.

Flashback

Price was Shira's best friend, he knew about her identity, but didn't care. He had shimmering silver hair which was rare upon humans and beautiful eyes of the amber stone. At that moment in time she thought she could trust him, but soon, he become as pigheaded as the rest of the male villagers.

Flashback Ended

She stared at Inuyasha and he stared at her. She was his truest love. He had encounter only one other demon that showed compassion called Atikin, but she seduced him and yet he still had a place for her in heart. He shook his head of the image and leaned into Shira's naked body and passionately kissed her. The heat of the hot springs was not what kept Shira's body warm, it was Inuyasha's body. She got out of the springs a wrapped her towel quickly around her body as a quick and sharp gust of wind blew. Inuyasha followed. They went into the small hut where Shira would sleep away from the rest of the group. She had no problem getting dressed in front of her soul's deepest desire and so she slowly pulled on the extra clothes Sango had lent her. She jumped into her bed and Inuyasha pulled her close. He didn't know what she was thinking but her bright emerald eyes glimmered under the small light of the full moon. He decided at the same time as her to become her mate and she became his mate. They made love under the starlight and fell asleep hours after the others.
