A/N: Finally, after a week or so, the long awaited chapter has come! YAY!! Don't kill me for not updating sooner. As seen, I updated 'Rags to Riches.' Hope everyone had a great, if not at least a good Thanksgiving. I stuffed myself with turkey and other scrumptious things. I made a cake, but it came out salty. I misread the ingredients. I mean, it was still yummy, if you like salt, A LOT. However, I noticed that if drink lots of juice while eating it, you don't notice the saltiness. Anyway, enough of me and my bad cooking. On with the story!

Disclaimer: Let's get this over with…I do…I do…not own Inuyasha.

Chapter 9- A tender Moment

Inuyasha felt warm flesh against the palm of his hands.

'This is strange, I don't feel fur.'

Alarmed, he opened his violet eyes and pulled away from Kagome. His eyes went wide in shock. Before him sat the most beautiful girl he'd ever seen.

'She looks like Kikyo, but more angelic.'

Raven hair spilled below her shoulders like a waterfall. Cerulean eyes stared back at him with equal shock. Her chest was heaving up and down, diverting his gaze. Round, voluptuous breasts with rosy, taut nipples laid before him. Amethyst irises trailed further below. He saw a flat stomach, yet she had curves in all the right places. Shapely legs were crossed one over the other. He returned his attention back to her eyes.

"Kagome?"

XOXOXOXO

Kagome couldn't believe what she was seeing.

'Am I losing it?'

Before her sat the most handsome man she'd ever laid her eyes upon. His midnight locks fell below his shoulders down to his hips. Violet eyes stared at her with curiosity and desire. Her sapphire eyes trailed down to his chest. A small gasp escaped her lips. It was obvious that he had worked out at some point in his life. His chest was breathtaking, including those wash-board abs. Tanned skin contrasted against her pale skin.

Her mind was telling her to look away, but her thirst for more threw those thoughts out the window. Eyes trailed further down and….

'He's naked!' Her eyes went wide and her mouth went dry. Looking back at him, she licked her lips. The sound of her name brought her out of her trance.

XOXOXOXO

"Kagome, is that you?" asked Inuyasha timidly.

Kagome opened her mouth to respond, but she wound up closing it again. Needless to say, she looked like a fish outside water. Shaking her head she questioned him.

"Inuyasha?"

He heard a small gasp escape her pink, full lips as he nodded in response.

She edged closer to him, both momentarily forgetting they were nude. Her hands went out to caress his face.

"You're so different from how you described yourself. Where are your amber eyes and silver hair? Oh, and your doggy ears?" Her curiosity was getting the best of her.

Inuyasha coughed, "Umm, Kagome…I think you should wrap this around yourself first." A blush flamed both their cheeks. He turned to his side and picked up the blanket on the bed beside him. Keeping his face to the side, he handed Kagome the blanket.

She quickly grabbed the towel away from him, making sure to avoid his gaze. She stole a small peek at Inuyasha from the corner of her eye. To her surprise he was still not wearing any clothes and avoiding her gaze as well.

"Umm, Inuyasha, you're still…umm…yeah."

Inuyasha looked at himself and as fast as lightning took the pillow on the bed and placed it in between his legs. His face burned with embarrassment. An amused giggle reached his ears.

"What's so funny?" His eyes locked onto hers.

Kagome smiled shyly, "Nothing Inuyasha. Laughter helps me calm down when I get nervous."

Inuyasha quirked an eyebrow at her, "Your sort of weird."

Kagome rolled her eyes, "You're one to talk. You're a hanyou who turns into a dog and human."

"Feh, whatever." That earned his a small pinch on his arm. He rubbed his sore spot, "What the hell was that for?"

Kagome rolled her eyes again, "Don't be such a baby Inuyasha and try to keep it down. The garage door is open."

Inuyasha glared at her through narrow slits, "Fine and keep your hands to yourself."

She playfully stuck her tongue out at him and looked out to the sky. A question plagued her mind, "Inuyasha, why are we both human tonight? What's so special about it?"

Inuyasha sighed and looked up at her. She had gotten up from her sitting position and stood a few feet away from the entrance of the door. Her backside was to him, but when she turned her head back at him, he was speechless. Her lips were slightly parted, midnight tresses flowed breezily below her shoulders and curiosity shined brightly in her eyes.

"Inuyasha, are you okay?"

Inuyasha blinked, "Tonight is the night of the new moon. I change into a human every new moon. That was one thing Kikyo couldn't take away from me. I guess, now you turn back into a human for tonight too."

Kagome looked at the floor, 'Kikyo.' She shook that notion out of head.

"So it's only for tonight?"

Inuyasha nodded, "Yeah. Why the sudden change in mood?"

Kagome looked back at him, violet and sapphire meeting eye to eye. "It's just… I wish I could see my parents, even if it is only for a bit. I know they can't see me, but I want to see them. Can we do that Inuyasha?" Her lips quivered a bit and her eyes became glossy.

Inuyasha looked around, "Don't cry Kagome. I didn't say anything. We'll go see them, okay?"

Kagome sniffled and nodded her head, "Thanks Inuyasha. Now, just one more question, where are we going to get clothes? I mean, we can't go outside with one of us in a towel and the other in a pillow."

Inuyasha shrugged his shoulders and pointed to the boxes on the top, right shelves. "Right there, it's filled with Sango's and her family's old clothes."

Kagome raised an eyebrow, "And how would you know that?"

Inuyasha rolled his eyes, "It says it on the boxes, 'Old Clothes.'"

Kagome looked over to where he was pointing, "Oh, right."

XOXOXOXO

"Ow, Kagome. Would you hurry it up already?"

Kagome stepped hard on Inuyasha's shoulder, "Shh, Inuyasha. It's hard enough trying to keep the towel on right without you seeing anything, standing on your shoulders and trying to get that stupid box down. Just give me a second." Stretching her hand a bit farther she made contact with the box.

'Just a little bit more.' she thought to herself.

"Yes! I got it Inuyasha." she exclaimed happily.

Inuyasha growled, "Finally, took you long enough."

Kagome growled back, "You know something Inu…YASHA!!!"

Inuyasha stumbled on a doggie toy that lay beside him and both he and Kagome went crashing down. Kagome yelled and Inuyasha cursed his luck.

XOXOXOXO

Sango put down the book she was reading.

"Kohaku, did you just hear something just now?"

Her brother looked up at her from the rug, "I thought I was the only who heard it. It came from the garage."

Sango nodded, "Let's go check it out."

XOXOXOXO
