InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Foreign Exchange Orphan ❯ Night of the New Moon ( Chapter 11 )

Foreign Exchange Orphan

Chapter Eleven:

Night of the New Moon

In this chapter, the note doesn't arrive to the house, yet. But, Inuyasha is faced with the New Moon. It has practically been a month since he's been there, but I've decided to extend the time period for a bit, even if I didn't let that on in early chapters. Inuyasha and Kagome grow even closer. So, basically, it's an extremely short filler chapter to keep you guys satisfied until I can come up with the big mega chapter or chapters(depending if I want to break it up) when Inuyasha gets the letter and they have to go to North Dakota to defeat Naraku!

Disclaimer: INUYASHA IS MINE!!!! * cough cough *

Inuyasha sat, out on the front steps of the Higurashi's mini mansion. (Remember, they don't live in Japan, but I'm kinda making it the same) His head was tilted to the sky, soft white hair blowing in a light breeze. Ruby red and brilliant gold painted the horizon as the tinted sun slowly fell. It would happen soon, the night where he would become human. When he was younger, he used to long for this night, where he could be just like everyone else, though no one could see it since it happened at night. Kikyo loved him that way when she would sneak in his room to see him. (It's NOT what you think you hentais!)

Though, now a different feeling conquered the old one. He felt vulnerable and weak, even though he really didn't have enemies. (HA! That's what you think Inu!) Kagome made him feel different. She. . . made him feel accepted, and subconsciously, that's what he began to do, accept himself.

Now the sun began to sink. His whole body felt tingly. He was starting to change. Slowly, his claws retracted, his ears turned into normal ones, his amber eyes slowly faded to a deep violet-gray, his fangs shrunk, and his hair slowly dissolved into a fluid black color, also decreasing in the process. A large feeling of emptiness and weakness flowed through him. He cursed.

"Inuyasha?" Dammit! How was she able to sneak up on him like that? He was used to being able to hear her or smell her sweet scent when she approached. "Inuyasha, is that you?"

"Who else would it be?" he snapped, crossing his arms over his chest. Kagome squinted at him. It was hard to him from this distance in this darkness, so she made her way over to him and sat down.

"Inuyasha," she said softly. "What…happened? You look different."

"Wouldn't you like to know!" She tugged on a piece of his hair.

"Yeah I would! We're. . .we're friends you know." She tensed, she had almost said, "You're my boyfriend you know!" Kagome blushed. Of course she knew she liked Inuyasha, but he already had a ~girlfriend~ somewhere, and he wouldn't be able to return her feelings. She choked back a sigh, feeling the half demon farther slip away from her.

"Y-yeah," he stuttered. He had almost hoped that Kagome would say boyfriend, but she didn't. Who could ever love a hanyou anyway?

"Well, every full moon, I lose my demonic powers until the sun comes up. It's that simple." Kagome nodded and thought for a while.

"Hey Inuyasha. When we first met, well kinda, you said you didn't know much about your dad, and the other day you told me all about him. What was that all about?"

"I didn't know you too well then, I mean, I thought you would hate the fact that my dad was a `demon'!"

"No, I think it's pretty cool." She smiled at him, suddenly leaning her head on his shoulder, soft black hair mingling with his. Even in his human form, Inuyasha thought she smelt wonderful. Kagome sighed, snuggling closer, watching the stars twinkle in the sky.

"Don't worry Inuyasha, I'll always be here for you, no matter what," she mumbled, closing her eyes in contentment. And, even though she didn't know it, in that moment, she just promised and did something that Kikyo never could.

~*I know you guys hate me for giving you such a short, filler chapter, but I had to. I still haven't finalized my plot for the next few chapters, but I still wanted to maintain my promise. I hoped you liked that chapter! Stay tuned! LaTeR DaYs!*~
