Chapter 8- Night of the New Moon

`I didn't lie to you Inuyasha.' Her voice still rang in his head.

It has been two days since Kagome left. He never caught a glimpse of her while he and Sango went out searching for her. He could still remember the look on both Kohaku's and Sango's face when they realized she was gone.

Sango and her brother had comforted each other. Their saddened expressions were accompanied by sorrowful conversation; especially what Sango had said.

`I don't understand. We just got her today and now she's gone. She's gone like Kagome. I must be the worst person in the world if my own dog would abandon me and my best friend wouldn't even call me to tell me if she's okay or where she is.'

The tears that swelled up Sango's eyes made Inuyasha feel like a heel.

`Maybe I shouldn't have been too hard on Kagome. She was only trying to help.'He sighed as he walked down the street he was all too familiar with. His paws led him right to where he first laid eyes on her. The only difference was that she wasn't there this time.

He lifted his head to see the sun descending below the horizon. Shades of purple and orange tinted the sky.

`Tonight is the new moon. Better get back to Sango's before someone might see me transform.'

Inuyasha began to retrace his steps back to Sango's house, but before he left he turned to face the alley one more time.

`I will find you Kagome.'

XXXXXXOOOOOOOO

Kagome hid behind the trashcan that kept her concealed from Inuyasha's line of vision. The strong smell of trash was able to mask he scent, making her undetectable even to the keenest sense of smell.

Making sure he was completely gone, se stepped out of her hiding spot.

`He came out looking for me.' he blue yes shone with a glimmer of hope.

She paced around, thinking of whether she should go back or not.

`Sango and Kohaku must be worried about me or rather `Angel.' Maybe I should go back, if not for him then for my friends. This must really hard on Sango, though. Me having been disappeared twice in a way already.'

Nodding her head in resolve she left the alley and began running back to her best friend's house.

The sun was almost gone from view; only a few more minutes before nightfall.

XXXXXXOOOOOO

Inuyasha lay uncomfortably on his bed waiting for the sun to set.

`The one night a month I turn human and I don't feel any emotion.'

He kicked something invisible with his left front paw. His ears twitched as he heard approaching steps.

XXXXXXOOOOOO

Kagome didn't know she was holding her breathe until she saw him on the bed they were meant to share.

His amber eyes held a shocked haze.

She took slow, cautious steps toward him as she saw him stand on all fours.

"Kagome, I just want to say…"

"It's okay Inuyasha. I know you're sorry, I see it in your eyes."

His ears flattened against his head and his eyes searched hers for an answer, "How can you be so forgiving after the way I treated you?"

She came forward to be face to face with him. Her sapphire orbs locked onto golden ones.

"Because, I want you to be free of your curse Inuyasha. Nobody deserves to walk as something they're not for eternity. I didn't lie when I said I did have the Shikon and I didn't lie when I told you I cared about you. Do you believe me Inuyasha?"

Inuyasha bore into her soul. Her voice was laced with sincerity and the look in her eyes affirmed that she would never lie. His voice lost to him, so he did the next best thing, he nodded his head.

Kagome never felt happier in her life. She forgave Inuyasha, and he accepted her friendship. Without much thought she nuzzled her face into the crook of his neck.

He was surprised at first, but gave into her warmth and nuzzled back.

The sun completely disappeared from view and the moonless night graced the sky.

XXXXXXOOOOOO

This time his transformation from animal to human was different than his others. He felt no pain or aches.

He opened his eyes to reveal a beautiful pair of indigo irises. Closing them again, relishing in the touch of Kagome.

He expected to feel fur against him but instead he felt warm hands lightly pressed against his back while his hands touched soft, warm flesh.

He let go immediately to see what was going on, but what he saw utterly shocked him.

XXXXOOOOO

A/N: MUHAHAHAHA! It's a cliffie! I know you must really hate me; I haven't updated in a while and here I am leaving you guys with a cliffhanger. This way I'll leave you guys wanting more!! =)

Please review and tell me what you think!!

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-

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 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 both 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 herself 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. To her surprise he was still not wearing any clothes and avoiding her gaze.

"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 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, "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 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?"

Her brother looked up at his sister 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
