I am completely astounded of how much reviews (and favs and follows) this is getting... * Hug! *

I really enjoy writing this. For me, it's like watching a movie. Sometimes I even think of drawing a comic of this... But now like Whole story, just a few scenes from here and there... I dunno.

And I just noted one mistake: In the chapter with Inuyasha's and Mitsuhiro's bios, I wrote Inuyasha's birthday being in December, but there is a chapter in this story where they celebrated his birthday, and that was soemewhere between summer and fall. I can't correct this mistake anymore, but just to let you know I know.

I have got two ideas for this chapter, but since I already had written this chapter, I won't put their names her.

I'm having an immense drawing inspiration. I write every day and really enjoy it. I'm trying to submit here one chapter/week, but sometimes even two. Now I have rceived so many ideas from differnt people for next chapters I think there will be more chapters on their way pretty fast.

Chapter 27 – The Night

There were always days when Inuyasha was more violent that usually. And there were days he was completely harmless, not needing to wear a straightjacket, not needed to be put in a isolation room, not even be drugged.

But there was this one night every month when he was totally something he never was normally.

And tonight it was that night. The night of new moon.

Miroku had just changed to his pajamas, getting ready to go to sleep. But Inuyasha just sat on his bed. Miroku, being his roommate, he was one of the few patients knew what these nights meant. But the nurses had forbidden them of telling other patients.

"Good night, Inuyasha", the man smiled. As he laid down, Inuyasha got up and walked to the door.

"Can you put out the lights?" Miroku pleaded. Inuyasha pressed the switch, and the room went dark.

Some patients were still on the lines to bathroom to brush their teeth. Inuyasha walked slowly to the living room and sat down on the couch. He listened carefully the voices from the bathroom corridor, until suddenly...

He couldn't hear them. Inuyasha reached his top of the head, but could not feel the dog ears. He grabbed his hair – it was still long, but black. He looked at his fingers – no kind of claws.

Inuyasha leaned against the couch's back, looking absolutely depressed.

Then Mitsuhiro came.

"How are you doing?" the man asked. He smiled as he gave the boy a bottle of Mountain Dew. Inuyasha opened it and started drinking.

"Is there something you'd like to do? PlayStation? A movie?"

But Inuyasha just sat still, Mitsuhiro by his side. The man read a book, Inuyasha stared at the Christmas tree and it's beautiful lights.

They sat all silent for more than an hour, when Mitsuhiro felt his stomach rumble.

"I'm getting hungry", he said and stood up. "I think you, too. Guess what? I have a little surprise for you. Wait a sec."

In one room a young girl, Kagome, woke up. Her roommate Sango was sound asleep, so she tried not to wake her up.

She stepped out of the room's door, closed it carefully, and started walking towards the bathrooms. But the way there went by the living room, she gave a short look in from the door – and there she saw this boy with black hair. She got curious and walked to him. Hi turned his head instantly towards her.

"... Who are you?" Kagome asked. Inuyasha was silent for a while, until...

"I'm Inuyasha."

"Y-you, Inuyasha? But..." Kagome stammered. "Where are your ears? Red eyes and silver hair?"

"Every new moon night, this happens."

"So you... change human these nights?"

Inuyasha nodded slowly.

"Can you tell me, how do you feel when you're in your demon form? I mean, you're completely different from what you normally are..."

"Hazy..." he said, looking at nowhere. "I... I can't feel... anything..."

Kagome looked at the boy with a sad face. Slowly and carfully she reached her bony arm on Inuyasha's shoulder and laid her head against his chest. But he didn't push her away. He leaned his head against her and closed his eyes half.

Mitsuhiro was walking towards the living room, carrying two paper bags – with two hamburger meals inside, which he had just warmed up in the microwave oven. But he just managed to stop before entering the room, as he saw the sweet moment within there. Took a few steps back and started drinking his coke with a drinking straw, smiling.

The moment lasted for a few more minutes, when Kagome suddenly stood up.

"I've got to go to the bathroom..." she said and left. As she left, Inuyasha followed her with his eyes, and so she walked away.

Then Mitsuhiro came.

"Here ya go", he said and put Inuyasha's bag on the table. The boy opened it and grabbed the burger, starting to eat.

But it didn't take long before Kagome appeard to them. Both Mitsuhiro and Inuyasha turned towards her. Mitsuhiro grinned.

"I think I've had my share", he said and got up from the couch. "You, Kagome, can have the rest."

Kagome just stood in the living room's doorway, not wanting to get in.

But then Inuyasha got up, walked to her, grabbed her arm and dragged her to the couch, sitting next to him.

"I-Inu..."

"Eat", Inuyasha said, holding a french frie in front of her face. "Eat!" he urged. Kagome was, actually, getting a bit scared. Maybe even more than when he was in his demon form.

And so, the girl took the fry and ate it. Then he took it to the next level – the burger. Inuyasha put in down on he girl's lap.

"Eat it" he said. The girl did nothing. "EAT IT!"

"I...I cant..." Kagome said very quiet. "Why do you care so much...?"

"Because I don't want you to die", he answered, sturdy.

This really moved Kagome from the inside. She couldn't say anything. And so, the teens stared at each other for a long time, when finally Kagome shot in Inuyasha's arms. She squeezed as hard as she could, Inuyasha held his arm around her, giving a very tender hug.

They hugged for a long while, and after that, Inuyasha showing example, Kagome ate the burger. She didn't drink the soda, because it wasn't diet.

Mitsuhiro came in. He saw the trash on the table – the food was gone!

"Heh, Inuyasha, did you eat it all?" he grinned.

"No, I ate your meal... With his help..." Kagome said.

Mitsuhiro was all quiet a while. Then he said:

"You are a perfect pair. You can both help each other with your illnesses. Thank you both. But Kagome, you should get back to bed."

Mitsuhiro sat in the living room with Inuyasha. It was 4 am. A few more hours and he would turn back to his demon form. He kinda liked the demon form. He felt stronger. Sometimes he did go berserk in his human form, but he was so weak as a teenaged human, no match for Mitsuhiro even if he was alone.

"Could you tell me why you talk to Kagome?" the man asked. "Is there really nothing you would like to say to Me?"

After a little moment Inuyasha turned at at him and said:

"I like you."

Mitsuhiro's eyes widened, he smiled like the sun and pet Inuyasha's head.

"Thank you, Inuyasha. Thank you."

The clock turned 6 am, which meant Inuyasha would turn demon any minute. The duo had still been sitting on the couch, doing simply nothing. Then Mitsuhiro started hearing Inuyasha hiss. He turned at him and saw those purple stripes spreading on his face, the ears peeked on the top of his head. The boy opened his eyes – they were blood red.

"Well, Inuyasha", Mitsuhiro said. "One more night of the new moon behind. How are you feeling?"

No answer.

"Remember what happened between you and Kagome?"

Inuyasha turned his head towards him, nodded once, and walked away.

Mitsuhiro smiled as he walked to the office. The morning shifters had just arrived, drinking their coffee.

"Well, Mitsuhiro", Kaede said. "How did the night go?"

"Oh, you'd be surprised", Mitsuhiro smiled, rubbing his neck. He would have so many good things to tell.

"Okay, I don't know where start", he winked.

As always after these new moon nights, Inuyasha was exhausted, and slept all day.

Inuyasha maybe didn't like those nights, but from now on, Kagome did.
