Kagome was so shocked at what Snowflake said that she started to blush. “You must be making a mistake.”
 
“Am I?” Snowflake walked towards the edge of the balcony and leaned on the ledge. “He must care about you someway because Saturn said he was taken away by your appearance.”
 
“What?” Kagome walked over to Snowflake and leaned sideways on the ledge.
 
“It's true. Saturn said that he tried to hide it but she saw that he was just taken away by you.” Snowflake looked at Kagome as if to emphasis her point. `I hope this works because if it doesn't then I don't know what will.'
 
“Inuyasha doesn't care about anyone besides himself.” Kagome turned to look out over the valley that shown beautifully in the moonlight.
 
“Are you sure?” Snowflake turned towards Kagome resting her elbow on the ledge.
 
“Yes. At least you're lucky you have someone like Pluto.” Kagome felt tears in her eyes. “How could I think that I had a chance with him?”
 
“Kagome take my advice. Pluto is a great guy, but he has his moments too. All guys do. But I really think Inuyasha likes you.” Snowflake touched Kagome's shoulder causing Kagome to look at her. “I wouldn't say this if I really didn't mean it.”
 
“So you're not mad that I like Pluto.”
 
“Of course not. You didn't even know that I existed till a few minutes ago.”
 
“Thanks Snowflake.” Kagome returned her gaze to the valley. “Snowflake, how did you get to know Pluto?”
 
“Well Icestorm and I are part of a group called the Winter Warriors. We live on Winters Island where it's cold and snowy all year long. We are part of an alliance with the Sun Warriors so we had to meet with Pluto and Neptune. When I first laid eyes on Pluto, I knew that I loved him. I was always afraid that he wouldn't feel the same towards me, but one day he came to me and told me how he felt and we've been together since.”
 
“Wow. I guess you had nothing to worry about.”
 
“Yeah. You'll find your soul mate Kagome it's just going to take time.”
 
“I know but I just seem hopeless.'
 
“I know. Come on lets head back inside.” Snowflake and Kagome entered the room to find Inuyasha talking to Starfire.
“So you'll probably be here for the Festival of the Night. You'll enjoy it so I'm not worried about that.”
 
“What festival?” Kagome asked Starfire as she walked up next Inuyasha.
 
“Well the Festival of the Night represents the powers of the moon and stars basically. It's a time for the children to play outside in the dark. Plus many say that it's a time for love and romance.” Starfire winked at Snowflake.
 
“Ah, yes. It's a beautiful time of year especially with all the food and lights; it's just plain breath taking.”
 
“Sound like fun. When does the festival start?” Kagome sounded excited as she smiled at Snowflake.
 
“Well the festival starts in two days.” Starfire went into great detail about the festival as the guests left the dining hall. After all the guests were gone Roccao and Sanota lead Inuyasha and the others back to separate rooms so the girls could have their privacy. While the group was settling down for the night the Sun Warriors were still in the dining hall but changed back into their armor.
 
“So my young ones how can we get those mortals back to their time?” Swanalow sat at the head of the table resting her arms on the table.
 
“Well Swanalow we can send them back at anytime thanks to the guardian.” Sun explained.
 
“Unicon is willing to open the portal to their time whenever necessary.” Neptune leaned forward in her chair resting her chin on her one hand.
 
“Good then we should send them home immediately.”
 
“Well actually Swanalow we need to keep them here just a little bit longer.” Starfire stood. “You see Inuyasha and Kagome care about each other but don't realize it and the same goes for Sango and Miroku. So we thought we would try to give them a little push.”
 
“I see young ones, but remember love is a very delicate thing.”
 
“We know Swanalow that's why we're trying to cover all the basics before we jump into the plan.”
 
“Very good. Good night my young ones.” With that Swanalow left the Sun Warriors to themselves.
 
“So now what?” Pluto leaned back in his chair.
 
“Well we need to figure out a way for Inuyasha to spill the beans about him liking Kagome.” Starfire walked over the window looking out at the moon. “Does anyone have any ideas?”
 
“Well Snowflake already put the idea that Inuyasha likes Kagome in Kagome's head so now we just have to push it.”
 
“But how Sun?” Starfire looked back at her younger cousin.
 
“Well we could…” Moonstriker drifted of into thought but then quickly drew a smile to her face. “I got it. At festival we'll have Miracle's Son and daughters give Inuyasha flowers to give Kagome and then have Shinan lead them towards the lake alone. Then we'll just have to hope everything goes right.”
 
“Well that's great Moon but what about Sango and Miroku?”
 
“Leave that to me Ancient Warrior?” Saturn smiled at her cousin.
 
“So now we have a plan A we better come up with plan B just in case.” The Sun Warriors went into details about their plans while Inuyasha and the others lay awake.
 
`I wonder if Snowflake was right. Inuyasha didn't seem to care what I looked like. Oh but he did look incredible tonight. I just wished he felt the same.'
 
`Kagome…you looked so beautiful tonight. Starfire is right I really do care about her. But if I care why can't I tell her? Am I scared I might lose her like I lost Kikyo?'
 
As the creatures and people of the valley drifted into sleep shadows in the distance moved. They watched Pluto and Starfire bring the group of mortals to the valley and knew that stealing them away would be the perfect opportunity to get the crystals from the Sun Warriors.
