Night of the New Moon

 

The night of the New Moon. Sango and I are the only ones still awake. I can't believe I got InuYasha to sleep. But then, after our last ordeal, I'm not surprised he is exhausted. What Sango can't see is that as he is lying here curled up next to me, he slipped his hand into mine before falling asleep. I am still holding it now, and it makes me feel warm and tender inside.

 “Kagome, do you ever think about how strange it is that he has three personalities?” Sango said. “I can't imagine living that way.”

 I look up at her and see her eyes watching him sleep thoughtfully. In my time, it is called Multiple Personalities - and considered a disorder. But with InuYasha, it is so much more, since he undergoes a physical transformation.

 “It must be hard,” I whisper softly, gazing at his fire-lit, sleeping face. “But we must remember. Hanyou, human….even youkai, he is still our InuYasha, and our friend. We must never treat him differently, no matter which personality is in control.”

 “Yes, I agree.” Sango responded, and I glance up to see her smiling at me warmly.

 My InuYasha….brash and impatient hanyou, sensitive human, and terrifying youkai. In my heart, I know that no matter who is in control, you are still you. Although I have come to love you as a hanyou, I love you no matter who is in control. I give his calloused hand a squeeze in my own, and feel a gentle response from him. Looking down, I see his eyes have opened - he is quietly regarding me with such an intense look!

 “Did he hear what I said?” I think, as I feel a blush on my cheeks.

 

What is that look in his eyes? Is it…love?
