Sorry I would have had this chapter done like three weeks ago but my friends are forcing me to write this one story thingy, so between school and that, I never have time to work on this! So, if you're mad at me, be mad at my friends not me. Now for the 11th chapter; have fun.

Human # 11

Training went on as they traveled away from the forest and farther put onto the plain.

"When does it stop?" Kagome groaned after the second week of the grueling duels.

"You tire too easily. Haven't you ever stayed up an entire night before?" Inuyasha wondered.

"Um… I don't know. I bet I have; if so it probably when I was young and too scared to sleep…" Kagome trailed off.

The sky shone of pink, blue, orange, yellow, and a hint of red from the sunset. The dead grass around them crackled under their feet, and an unpleasant scent began to fill the air.

"Ugh, what is it?" Shippo's eyes started to water as the air grew thicker and darker, "Uh oh, I think we have a grass fire headed this way."

"Why can we never go along in peace?" Inuyasha grumbled as everyone started to run in an unlucky direction; towards the fire.

"Kirara take me up so I can see its size," Sango ordered and hopped on to her demon cat.

The three tailed can climbed in the air until they were barely visible and then descended a little too quickly towards the ground. They heard Sango scream for Kirara to slow down, with no effect.

"Inuyasha! Help!" Sango had fallen off her transport and was freefalling towards the earth.

Obediently he lunged into the air and caught her.

"So how big is it?" he asked as he put her back on her feet.

She held up a hand to show she needed a bit to catch her breath and then croaked, "Huge! Miroku wouldn't even be able to suck it into his wind tunnel!"

"Shit, run!" Inuyasha barked.

"What? Inuyasha wants to run?" everyone was in awe.

"Well not all of you are virtually immune to it!" he yelled.

'This is a strange side of Inuyasha; he's only said stuff like that when he was, aw crap,' Kagome thought as she jerked her head toward the sky, almost falling off of Kirara, a tiny sliver of the moon remained. In a few minutes it would be gone, Inuyasha's human genes would take over his body, and he would be mortal the rest of the night.

"Inuyasha, why didn't you tell us it was the moonless night?" she yelled as he started to fall behind, "Get on Kirara, Now!"

"Shut up! I don't need her help yet!" he refused the offer.

His silver hair changed from its usual color to a deep black, his golden eyes changed to a deep black-brown, and his claws and fangs shrunk to a normal human size.

"Damn it!" he did as Kagome had ordered him to do in the first place and on they ran, stopping only when they had felt they were safe enough.

"Inuyasha, you need to stop doing this!" she lectured, "We can't keep going about and then when some crisis comes up, at the last minute you tell us or we figure out that you can't fight or whatever!"

as she lectured him he turned his head away able to see her only out of the corner of his eye. Something caught his eye.

"Wait a second," he looked her over, "Well, look whose talking, little miss human."
"What?" she looked at he hands and she had normal finger nails, lifting a bit of her hair the silver tint was gone and she only saw greasy black har. Her ears had returned to their natural position on either side of her face instead of the little doggie ears she had grown fond of. "Ack! I didn't even notice until you pointed it out! Is this how it always is?"

"Yep, you never know till you've either seen yourself or someone tells you," Kushimi walked up to them, he looked exactly the same but he walked and seemed different.

"Hey, you're human! Wait, that's not good," Shippo shouted, "So everyone has the same night to convert?"

"This is the first time it happened during the new moon. It normally happens during the full moon, I wonder why it has fallen from our schedule." Sakimi stated, her hair no longer blended of black and silver but was just black.

"Great, how fantastic, nine humans, two demons one of which is too cowardly to fight. This is gunna be a heck of a night…" Inuyasha mumbled to himself.

"Hey we've gotten on before, when you would be human, and the only actual demons here were Shippo and Kirara," Kagome reassured, "We're in the same position only with five other people who know how to fight as humans just as well as we do! We are not useless. Geez, and normally it's you telling me not to complain!"

"Wow, that's one heck of a pep talk," Miroku gawked, "Did you know she could be like that?"

"Ooh, what I wouldn't give to 'sit' both of you!"

"ACK! What did you do that for?" Inuyasha yelled through the ground, "Wait, what the heck? I thought you couldn't do that anymore! This day just keeps getting weirder and weirder!"

(AN- and if any of you guys didn't understand that; Kagome just sat Inuyasha)

"Uh, guys I think we need to get moving!" Miroku panicked and took off running.

The others looked back and joined him in his race to safety. While they had been bickering the fire had advanced and now lit up the night sky with red and orange flames creating thick smoke that blotted out where the missing moon should have been.

"Who knows why I can do it again, but let's just get away from here for now!" Kagome panted.

"Stop talking' and start running!" Someone yelled from ahead.

I know this was really short but I just wanted to post something and sorry that it has a lot more cuss words than usual, but I mean hey; what would you be think and or say if a raging inferno was right behind you?
