Luna squealed in delight, hopping about and declaring the many times and merry occasions they would all possess since her uncle had returned to this world. Inuyasha stood, confounded, and Sango was already embracing a reluctant and blushing Kuro. Luna commanded him to come, and he did, before she assaulted him with thank you's and hugs. Kuro, once again, stood blushing, looking off in a random direction. Sango simply rolled her eyes and grinned, knowing that he was enjoying it more than he put up he was...

Inuyasha then clapped Kuro's shoulder, and smiled. Kuro blinked in surprise, and then returned the smile. He was about to say something, when he closed his eyes, and sighed. Inuyasha tilted his head, as Kuro lifted his fingers to Inuyasha's chest. Kuro slammed his palm into Inuyasha's chest, sending him back several feet as a huge black orb zoomed between the two of them, whipping Kuro's clothing through the air. Sakura stood atop the bone eaters well, cursing herself for missing. Inuyasha looked a little disgruntled, mumbling something about you could have said something.

Kuro chuckled and turned to face her fully, then rushed forward at Sakura. Sakura leapt into the air, throwing down ninja stars at his arms. Kuro braced his arms, and spoke up.

"Crimson Fist!"

His arms and legs were suddenly wrapped by the gauntlets he had forged, which made him smirk when the stars bounced off harmlessly. Sakura landed down, and recognized the gauntlets.

"Is that Cerberus!?"

"Not anymore, Sakura."

She let out a hissing protest and drew her arms back, attempting to forge black magic. She closed her eyes and focused with all of her willpower, and opened her eyes that glowed with a dark hatred for her brother. Her hands began to sparkle and the energy became so great it was enough to block the sunlight when she lifted the hut-sized orb of energy, black with purple and red lightning slashing all about the orb and its core. She roared, and swung her hands down, screaming in detestment. Kuro fell back, bracing himself as his eyes were torn in confusion. Since when did Sakura possess such powers? Sakura grinned, and an insect flew past her hair, watching curiously.

What sort of bug was that? It was larger than any other bug he'd seen in his entire life, yellow and black stinger with a purple head and red eyes, four wings and six legs, about the size of a human infant. What sort of creature could it possibly be? Where did it come from? And it looked poisonous, so why wasn't it striking at Sakura!? Was it helping her? Irrelevant for now. Kuro closed his eyes, and gathered up his aura. Purple, black and red began to swirl about his feet and body, his Crimson Fist glowing radiantly. He looked at Sakura, eyes shining as white stripes slashed across his body, and he leapt forward. Roaring, he brought his fist back, and swung forward with all his might.

Sakura screamed in pain as his aura turned into a great burst of energy, slashing through the middle of the orb and slamming into her torso, cutting deep and sending her flying into a tree, her leg shattering from where it collided with the stump. She fell to the ground, and the insect flew right in harmony with her body, like it was trying to hide from them. Kuro slanted his eyes, making a soft 'hmm' sound as a purplish barrier surrounded her body and she was pulled into the forest, only to vanish from sight. That was very...strange.

"Kuro!"

His attention caught again, Kuro turned to see Luna running forward, tilting her head.

"Are you alright?"

"Yes."

He said softly, nodding. The others had not seen the insect. What could that bug possibly mean, and why did it hide from them all except for Kuro? Kuro turned to Inuyasha, and spoke.

"My lord. Are you familiar with an insect with a yellow and black stinger, lavender head, red eyes, six legs, and about she size of a baby?"

Inuyasha's eyes snapped open wide, and Sango's did as well, instinctively looking to Kohaku who looked down in shame. Sango spoke to them both, nodding softly.

"They are called Saimyosho."

"Hmm...are they known to dwell near this region?"

"No. They belonged to a certain demon we knew from long ago. Why?"

"One was assisting Sakura in battle, and aided her in escape."

Inuyasha did not grow angry. Did not look displeased. Neither did Sango. But rather, they both grew a wide, wicked grin.

"Naraku."

Inuyasha said softly, raising his claws. With Sesshomaru in alliance with them, their newfound powers, and their daughter and son as well as their now grown children, Naraku would be as easily slain as any other demon. Inuyasha chuckled darkly, as Sango turned to Kohaku, speaking softly.

"Kohaku."

Kohaku looked up, tilting his head.

"Are you ready to get your revenge?"

Kohaku paused, and then the same though Inuyasha and Sango shared dawned on him, and he too began to grin.

"Yes, sister."

Kuro slanted his eyes, Luna looked confused. As they watched the others deliberate, Luna turned to Kuro, and had a determined look in her eyes as a blush slowly crept onto her cheeks. Kuro turned to look at her with his usual slightly opened gaze, and she smiled at him.

"Kuro?"

"Yes?"

He responded smoothly, and she closed her eyes. His voice had often reminded her of velvet. Soft, and smooth.

"Have you ever felt an emotion, that was...strange?"

"Strange?"

"Yeah. Like a mix of admiration, care, wonder, happiness, and...protectiveness."

Sango had been watching the two as Inuyasha thought and Kohaku told Shiori the story, and turned to her mate. Inuyasha looked back at her and Sango gave a wink and then tilted her head to Kuro and Luna, tugging on his shirt. Inuyasha saw, and smiled, before turning to Shippo, who had remained quiet.

"Come, my children. Let's go. Luna, I hope you and Kuro will catch up?"

"Yes father!"

She called back gleefully, returning the wink Sango had given.

They all turned and began to walk back as Sango giggled, and Luna turned back to Kuro, waiting until they were out of earshot even with canine hearing. Luna watched as Kuro continued to think, and eventually nodded gently, deep in thought.

"Yes, I have felt this emotion before."

"Good! Now. When do you feel this emotion?"

"I began to at the altar when you placed the necklace upon me, and have felt it around you since. Yet I thought this to be a charm of the necklace, as I have not felt it before."

Luna smiled, blushing even deeper.

"Do you know what it is?"

Kuro asked, continuing to look confused. Luna was only a few inches shorter than Kuro, but she was sure if she got on her toes she would be able to be eye to eye with him. She nodded in confidence of this fact, and giggled.

"I order you to close your eyes."

"Yes, my mistress."

He said obediently, and closed his eyes so he could see nothing. Luna smiled in delight, and sighed, beginning to speak.

"Now listen, my Kuro. Watching you fight your sister just now, how close she came to destroying you with that black magic of hers. It made me realize that, even for the strongest, fate is a cruel and fickle woman, and can turn the tides of any battle, and end any life at any time. I want to make our lives, no matter how short, the best ones. So I thought you should know that..."

Without any words to go on from there, Luna simply gave into her urges and threw her arms about his neck, jumping into him. Her lips pressed against his, and she emitted a long purr. His skin was cold, and smooth, his lips soft and perfectly sized to fit her thin ones. She kissed him for a long while, closing her eyes to join him in sightless bliss. The kiss lasted for a good two minutes, and Kuro held her by her waist, and he realized what was happening. The floodgate was gone, now. The floodgate within him holding back all that happiness and joy he had bottled away for so many years, finding the emotions inefficient.

But when he held her like this, nay, whenever he was around her! He felt like this. And he loved her, too. Not only that, she was kissing him and holding him like, like she loved him in return. And that was more than he could ever ask for. Their bodies suddenly began to glow a bright black and white, Kuro black and Luna white. Their glows began to meld and seep into each other, auras embracing each other into their own perfect compatibilities. Sango and Inuyasha burst from the trees, the others soon following from their eavesdropping spot, worrying for their sakes. Their auras became one, and then burst into thousands of sparks of black and white, Luna's wings of fire emerged and shattered as well, joining soon after was Kuro's Crimson Fist, breaking into thousands of pieces.

Inuyasha and his pack blinded, they all turned away, trying to regain their vision. When they turned back, they all gasped in wonder at the scene they saw before them. The two nekos had gone through a transformation, and were utterly stunning. Kuro wore a white muscleshirt that clung to his torso, showing every fine cut and indentation of each toned muscle. A black belt with white skulls made of silver embedded his waist over white baggy pants, and white tennis shoes with a dark blue zipper going around the sole, leading to another zipper in the dead center leading to the ankle. His skin was fair and cold, and his eyes were a deep amber. His hair was long and white, and reached his waist, two white neko ears perched on his head as a shaggy white cats tail waved behind him.

Luna was no less beautiful, long blonde hair flowed beneath two brown neko ears, her eyes were a deep orange. Her lips and face were slender, and exotic. Her breasts had grown larger, covered only by a very revealing orange fabric that started behind her neck and went past her collarbone, splitting in two to have thick orange strips on either breast just barely covering, and tucked under to show every curve in great detail before going back around her torso to her back. Her stomach, thin and slender was exposed, her skin a cream color, before leading to yet another orange fabric, a skirt, going about her body, and a pair of small shorts underneath the skirt since it was split on either side of her body. A brown groomed cats tail waved behind her, her feet covered by orange cut off socks that did not go to the ankes nor the toes, merely covered the center of her feet.

Though Kuro bore no weapon, in her right hand Luna held a long sword, the hilt was just a round black cylinder with a round bottom. The blade was jagged, at first just a wide jagged upward bar, but it jutted backward in the middle, the blade inclining to almost a circular degree but not quiet, the entire blade was jagged. The blade was black, but was outlined by a white line. She opened the palm it was in, and it dissapeared into black orbs. Kuro lifted his palm, and the black orbs flew into his clawed hand. Kuro smiled softly, tilting his head. Luna looked down, seeing herself, and gasped.

"I'm hot!"

Kuro paused, and there was a still silence, before a sound that made Luna's heart flutter and skip several beats pierced the air. A low, velvet laugh coming from Kuro, his hand near his mouth but he made no effort to stop it. He laughed for about half of a minute, before smiling.

"I agree."

She then took in Kuro's appearance and restrained from drooling at the precise indentations of his muscles. Searching for a topic to distract herself, she then came into a piece of information that sparked her anger as she turned to Sango and the others.

"SPYING ON US, HUH!?"

She ran forward, and leapt at them. Sango laughed lightly and jumped to the side, avoiding her daughter easily. Kohaku and Shiori and Shippo decided it would be best to step away from Inuyasha and Sango, Hatchi and Kilala making themselves comfortable beside Kuro. Luna made a soft 'humph' sound after chasing them for a while, and then walked to Kuro, standing beside him proudly, before Kuro spoke up.

"If I may interject my mistress?"

"No."

"..."

"Go ahead."

Luna said with a soft laugh.

"May I ask, my Lord and lady, who this 'Naraku' is?"
