Between This Moment and the Next
By EcchoKat
The young Priestess ran out of the shrine house heading for the large cave near the waterfall at the end of the village. She had been waiting all month for this night, the night of the new moon when the two worlds could join and she could see him again.
They had been seeing each other every new moon for going on a year now. The Miko ran until she saw the edge of the waterfall, she stopped and slowly made her way deep into the damp cave. The cave marks a border between this world and the land of myth and legends, in short, the realm of demons. As she entered the lowest level of the cave a large open area loomed before her in the center of this area was an old well.
“Who would believe that this is the portal to the other world?” the miko thought. She sat on a large stone and waited she waited for him and for a decision to change their lives forever.

“Who would believe that this is the portal to the other world?” the miko thought. She sat on a large stone and waited she waited for him and for a decision to change their lives forever.
The elder priest and priestess had built the well over 2,000 years before, many scrolls and charms hung from the old worn out border and surrounding area. The ancient priest and miko had gathered here and cast a very powerful spell calling forth all the ancient creatures of Japanese legend. Dragon, imps, demons, and other mythological creatures came to answer the call. Upon arriving at the cave the creatures had been forced into the portal that the elders had made, thus sealing them for all time or so they thought. The spell weakened on the night of the new moon and some creatures could exit the portal and roam the land until the first rays of the sun peak over the ancient mountain of Japan. It had been on a new moon night that a young hanyou had force his way out of the well and entered into the world of man. He had never been out side the well before having been barely three days old when he had been force out of his mother arms and brought to the well and dumped in alone with his elder brother and father. The young hanyou had left the cave and stumbled upon a young miko in the middle of her purification ceremony. She had been barely out of training when she sensed the demon presence. She turned around and gasped at the youth, he stood a head taller than her and had the most vivid violet eyes she had ever seen his long black hair was blown about in the night air he seemed transfixed to the spot as thought he had never seen a human before. He wore a red kimono top with red baggy pants and no shoe.
“I must be crazy, “the miko thought “he is no demon just a human boy”. She ducks down into the water to better cover herself. “Go away “she yelled at the boy.
He looked at her cocked his head to the side and said, “Why?”
“Why… Why? You pervert I am bathing here “she yelled.
“ I have seen other female bath wench you are no different.” The young man said. The miko ground her teeth “I am a miko it is impolite to stare at me while I complete my purification ceremony you are committing a grave sin by watching me.” The boys eye narrowed “A miko, you don't look like a miko” he snorted.
By then the young miko had had it she swam over to her red and white Shinto robes and quickly grabbed them and ran to a near by bush to dress. The hanyou smirked he was getting to this human; it was actually kind of fun he thought. His brother had told him stories of how humans and demons once lived on the same plane and since his one night as a human allowed him to travel through the portal to the human realm he found himself highly enjoying himself. This girl was the first human he had seen up close, the crossing of worlds for him had only been going on for 5 months now and the first time it had happened he had been fighting with his father again, over what he could not remember. He had gone for a walk to clear his head and was attacked in the demon realm. Hanyou's were not well liked and this being his human night he should have guessed that many of the demons who hate him would be out to get him. Thus, he battled a demon named Naraku, who hated everyone, and was pushed down the well and end up in the mortal world. He had been so shock that he had climbed out of the well and ran half way through the village before he realized he was not home any more.
A large human had come out of his home and scared the poor boy so bad he had run all the way to the well and stayed until the magic called him back in the morning. The second time he had tried the well as a demon first and got nowhere with it. It was not till a month later on his human night that he was able to go through the well again. That night he had explored the world above and decided that he liked it, if nothing else it was a safer place to be on a new moon than his world.
So here he was his fifth time out of the well and staring at a miko who he thought would be scarier. His father's and bother's tales made him believe that all of the servants of Buddha were some kind of mortal gods themselves with powers to rival any demon. He knew to be wary around the girl but by the gods she was barely 15 and as far as he could tell had no real powers little did he know.
The miko glared at the boy as she reentered his sight. “I'll have you know that I am the top student at the temple boy and I would watch my mouth if I were you,” the miko said. The Hanyou smirk, “Oh really, and what would you do, Miko, if I keep on with my mouth? Heh wench?” he said.
The miko simply held out her hand and a brilliant pink glow surrounded her and the next thing the boy knew he was throne into lake. The miko laughed as the boy came to the surface sputtering and cursing her to the high heavens. He climbed out of the lake and glared at her.
He growled, “I maybe in my human form wench but I can still make you pay for that.”
The miko look shocked. “Human form, what do you mean by human form?” She asked.
“Hoy! Wench you say you're a miko and you can`t tell what I am. It is just like I said you don't act like a miko.” he said.
” If you must know I thought I sensed you were a demon, but everyone know if demon really exited they were sealed long ago in the well. Personally I don't really believe in them,” the miko said.
The hanyou gasped, “How could you not believe in demon? They really do exist. I should know, I've lived in the other realm for going on 2,000 years now. I think I would be able to safely say that we do exist.” He said.
” Ok, if that is so then how did you get here? You look human to me and my teacher says that no demon could pass through the portal,” she asked.
“Well if you must know I asked my old man about that and he said it's because I am a half breed. My mother was human and my father is an inu demon. Dad said that because on the new moon I turn human I can go through the well.” the hanyou replied.
“Well I guess that's possible, but what do you want here demon?” she said.
” I came to look around wench I never expected to fine a pretty girl bathing, ok” he covered his mouth. `I can`t believe I just said she pretty, dam human emotions,' he thought.
The miko smiled, `He called me pretty, no one has ever called me pretty before,' she thought. “Well demon my name is Kagome. What can I call you?” she asked.
The demon looked at her, “Inuyasha,” he stated simply.
`Inuyasha's a nice name' she thought. Just as the conversation began to pick up the sun began to rise over the mountain and the well began to call for the demon to return. Kagome watched as Inuyasha began to pulse and change his hair turning from midnight black to white and his ears moved to the top of his head and became fuzzy dog-ears. His hand grew claws and he seemed to fill out more with muscle. His pale human skin took on a rich golden tone and his beautiful violet eyes became the richest shade of gold she had ever seen. She looked stunned. “You really are a demon aren't you,” she said. Inuyasha smirked and put his arms inside his red kimono and said, “I told you that already, wench. Now if you will move I have to go.” The well spell pulsed and pulled the hanyou who moved passed Kagome toward the cave.
“Wait,” she yelled.
Inuyasha turned and looked at her. “What? I don't have much time wench.” He said.
”Will I ever see you again?” the girl asked.
The demon though a moment, “Meet me here next new moon,” and with out another word the dog demon ran into the cave and jump into the well. The young miko sighed a whole month before I get to see him again she thought. She then walked to the lake pick up her few items and returned to the village. That meeting had sparked many more meeting and over time the two of them had discovered more than just friendship blooming when they met.

Kagome set on the rock and waited the sun was just setting and she had missed him so much. Tonight they had a decision to make. Her master had passed away leaving her the Shikon No Tama, or the Jewel of Four Souls, and according to her master it could be used for good or evil. The caretaker could ask for one wish, if the wish was a pure one. Thus far no one had ever wished on the jewel and it had been in the shrine since the time the demons were sealed. If legend was correct the strongest of the priestesses had given up her soul to make the jewel so that it could be used in the spell to seal all the demons of Japan. Kagome did not know if that part of the legend was true but she had seen many wicked men try to get to the jewel in the past. For the most part her master had been able to stop all that dared take it and when she had come to the shrine 16 year ago as a new born having been found to have great spiritual power the guardianship of the jewel had been easier. Now that her master was gone she was given the jewel to guard or to use as she wanted. Her master had said he felt that the jewel called to her to use and that she was a good-hearted person and that her wish could be granted.
Kagome waited, she and Inuyasha had been talking about this night for the last 4 visits. Inuyasha said that one visit with her a month was not enough and that he could not stand to be away from her for much longer. She told him that she felt the same way and that there was a way to be together but it would call for a sacrifice. Either she could become a hanyou like him and go back through the well as his mate or he could become human and stay with her on this side of the well. It was a hard choice to make for both of them. If she went she would no longer be human and the town would lose their miko healer, not to mention she would never see her mother or sister again. Her mother and twin sister were her life, other than shrine duty, and she made a point to see them whenever she could.

`Kikyo would be a good priest she been training for years and I could see mother on new moon nights, but I would miss them all the other times. Oh and what if Kikyo messed up with her duties. Sometime her twin had a selfish streak and could be a bit cruel to people, but she was trying to get over that.' Kagome thought. She looked at the well a human hand pulled a young black hair boy with violent eyes out of the well. Kagome ran to him and they embraced in a deep kiss, which left both gasping for breath when they parted.
“I have missed you, Kagome. This month has been the hardest thus far. Did you bring it with you? “He said.
“Yes, Inuyasha, I did and I missed you too.” Kagome replied. She held up a pink glowing jewel on a necklace made of black coral and white shell. “It can only grant one wish, Inuyasha, what ever we decide I want us to be together.” She said.
“We will, Kagome. What do you want to do, come with me or stay here?” he said. She knew he would ask her she took a deep breath “I want to ….”

This story was inspired by a picture I saw on a website called lush it was a picture from the series (not a fan work) that had Inuyasha as a human holding Kagome with such a look of peace on his face I could not help it this story just popped in my head when I saw it. I would like to thank my friend Elfinlore who correct this story for me I owe her lot. This story has three parts and will end with a lemon so stay tuned.
