A/N: Well, it appears I lied in the latest chapter of the MPREG version; there was a corresponding chapter. ^^ Okay, Now I can get to work on the next chapters. Don’t fret. They’re coming. I promise.

Chapter Twelve

Captive Moon

“What are you doing?”

“What?” I look at Inuyasha. Have I done something wrong?

“You’re…” he makes an indistinct gesture, “hovering.”

“‘Hovering’?”

He shrugs. “You usually try and keep distance between us…”

Oh… I am being ‘clingy’ again. I thought that was what he wanted, though. Before. He wanted me to be his, and now that I am, I am doing it wrong… He has not changed his mind, has he?

I step away from him and continue walking like that. I have to keep looking at him, though, to make sure he is still okay, to make sure I have not disappointed him in any further way. It seems I have not.

Then he sighs and growls, stopping and turning toward me. “Stop it!” he yells. “Just fucking stop it!”

“Stop… what, Inuyasha?” What have I done wrong? I have done nothing different… what is it that has annoyed him so? What can I do to fix it?

“Stop acting like this! Stop… doing everything I say! This isn’t you, it’s just that stupid bite on your neck, so just stop acting like this! Act like yourself!”

I draw back from him. Not do what he says? Why would I do that? Would that not make him unhappy? And what does he mean? Of course this is me – why would I act differently than I desired to? I want to make him happy… but to do that, I have to not make him happy… I have to stop trying to do so… I grab my head and shake it, trying to dislodge that train of thought before it gives me a headache. All I want to do is please him…

“Inuyasha, don’t yell at him.” Kagome passes between us and takes my hand to squeeze reassuringly. I blink blankly at her. “You’re the one who did this to him. It isn’t his fault, and you shouldn’t be getting mad at him. He’s just trying to make you happy.”

Inuyasha scowls and turns away, and I can only watch him leave… She is right; I only want to make him happy…

“Come on.” Miroku claps me on the shoulder, making me look at him. “He’ll be back to normal before too long; you can’t take his outbursts too seriously.”

Blankly, I follow them all. Inuyasha does not like me…

Inuyasha puts his arms around me and rests his head on my shoulder. Has he forgiven me? I have avoided him all day, despite how it pained me to do so… Despite the pitying glances I received from his friends. It makes me feel so low, to need their pity…

“I’m sorry,” he sighs. “I didn’t mean to yell at you like that. I know it’s not your fault.”

I let my breath out and relax against him. He has forgiven me after all…

“I’m going to get some of that before Shippo eats it all; you want any?”

“No, Inuyasha, I am not hungry.”

“All right.” He squeezes me slightly and lets go, walking back to the others, shoving the cub out of the way to get to the food. I lie on the ground and smile as I watch him. He really has forgiven me…

He sits over there, laughing and talking with them, making fun of Miroku, but every once in a while he will glance over and give me a smile as well. I am glad he is happy. Maybe to make him happy I need to avoid him all day… I can do that easily if it will please him, as it apparently does. Especially as I now know he will come back to me in the evening…

There is a sudden movement; a wolf jumps over me and is growling with fangs bared at the others. It is a demon wolf, and it is hungry…

I am almost immediately between the wolf and Inuyasha, before any of them can make a move, and it falls in steaming pieces to the ground, sliced by my claws. No one threatens Inuyasha!

“Sessho…”

I cannot look back at him; I failed him! I never even knew the creature was there, and I should have known… what if it had hurt Inuyasha because of my carelessness? How can I face him? I am a terrible mate… I should have been on guard, I should have been watching for any dangers to him while he and his friends ate and relaxed… He deserves someone so much better than me!

“Sessho?” I hear him stand up and bow my head. How can I even look at him?

“Are you okay?” He put his hands on my arm and my side… he is so good. I failed him and put them all in danger, and he is asking if I am okay…

“I am unhurt, Inuyasha…” I tell him quietly.

“Good.” He sounds relieved, but he pulls me away from the others, probably so that he can punish me… I deserve it. I deserve so much more than he will give me.

“Now what’s wrong?” He pulls me down to the ground and sits behind me. It is easier, not having to face him, and he is obviously so disgusted he does not want to see my face…

“I am sorry I failed you, Inuyasha,” I say quietly. I am ready for anything he will do to me now.

“‘Failed me…’?” He sounds confused. “How did you fail me?”

Does he really not see? “I never knew the animal was there… what if it had hurt you or one of your friends?” I swallow thickly. “I am sorry, I deserve to be punished…”

“Whoa, Sessho, no!” He turns me around to look at him. “Punished? I’m not going to punish you… I’m just relieved you weren’t hurt. When you jumped out like that, it was like you wouldn’t even notice if you got hurt…” His big gold eyes look very serious. “I want you to make sure and keep yourself safe too, you know.”

I blink at him slowly; there is no reason why he should care if I am safe or not. “I only wish to make sure you are safe…” I tell him slowly.

“You want to make me happy, right?”

“Of course.” Does he think I do not? That I have been denying him or something?

He smiles. “Well, I’ll be really unhappy if you get hurt.”

“I will stay safe, Inuyasha,” I tell him immediately. Unless it is to save him, that is – but of course, I fail to see how he could not already know that.

“Good.” He smiles again and wraps his arms around me, holding me close. I close my eyes and lean on his shoulder. He is so forgiving and good… he deserves someone better than me. But he seems content with what he has, and if he is happy, I am happy.

He pulls me closer and kisses my ear. “Go ahead and go to sleep. I’ll join you in a bit, ‘kay?”

I nod and lie down as he gives me another kiss and goes to finish his meal and dispose of the animal. He is so good…

Inuyasha has left the others behind again and led me far ahead of them, so that I can barely hear them. I am not certain why, per se, but it appears that he wishes us to be alone as we walk, though it is not as though he talks about anything consequential…

But I do appreciate the opportunity to be with him, especially alone. I dislike having to share him as I do… But they are his friends, and he wants them around.

He grabs my arm and stops me. “Wait,” he says, his ears scanning the area, eyes searching. I glance around us, but I can smell, see, or hear neither anything nor anyone. Is something wrong? Something I should have seen that is escaping my notice still? Am I failing him again?

“Inuyasha, what is it?”

“Something’s wrong…”

I search the forest around us… but I see nothing? How can he see something I cannot? My eyesight is better than his… my sense of smell as well. Perhaps he can hear better than I, but I doubt that as well… and yet I sense nothing…

“What is it?” Kagome asks, stopping her contraption behind us as everyone else walks up.

“Just stay close,” Inuyasha says. “There’s something wrong here…”

Miroku nods sagely. “I do sense something…” Of course, I ignore him. He is not as spiritual as he makes believe, and I sense absolutely nothing… perhaps there is nothing to sense? No, He is not wrong…

As silently as humans and Inuyasha can manage, we step forward once more. I slide my arm from his grip; if something does happen, I will need it free… It is the only way I have of using any weapon at my disposal. And I will not leave him unprotected.

And yet, despite his bad feelings, there seems to be absolutely nothing at all wrong. We continue ahead unmolested; I can sense them all relaxing around me, even Inuyasha to some degree, but I remain alert. If He sensed something wrong, there most likely is, even if I cannot see it.

“Oh, Inuyasha, I was going to tell you yesterday… I have to go home for a while starting tomorrow… I have some tests at school that I can’t miss.”

“Great to tell us now, Kagome. Can’t you just forget them?”

“Of course I can’t, Inuyasha! I want to get into high school, and if I don’t study and pass these tests, I can’t.”

He snorts. “What good is school gonna do you? Will it help you find the jewel shards?”

“I do have another life besides you, Inuyasha!”

“Me?! Do I look like I’m keeping you here?”

“You’re trying to!”

Why does she always incite him to act like a child? And why do they not be quiet? Minutes ago they were all certain there was something wrong here, and now they yell at each other and draw as much attention as possible to themselves; to all of us.

“Well, news flash, Kagome: I have another life besides you too!”

“Inuyasha, si—!”

She cuts off abruptly, stopping in the middle of the path and staring at me, as I growl at her. She will not subject Him to that! It is not his fault she continues to aggravate him!

“Ah…”

I hear the smirk in Inuyasha’s voice. “Sessho’ll rip you into pieces if you use the S-word on me.” He wraps an arm around my waist, and I lean my head on his shoulder, shutting my eyes contentedly…

She suddenly makes an angry noise and pushes past us on her bicycle, but I smell the salt of her tears. “Fine!” she yells angrily without looking back. “You’ve got Sessho-maru, and now you can be happy!”

What have I done? I have made a rift between Inuyasha and one of his friends…! I have been a fool… Inuyasha will never forgive me for this…

“Inuyasha…” Sango starts, but then there is a shriek from Kagome out of sight ahead of us, and they all begin to run toward her, argument forgotten. Naraku’s smell unmasks itself and another of his puppets comes into view. Kagome is nimbly dodging its tentacles, but the vehicle is destroyed, and she cannot keep it up.

I cut them down easily before the others can even reach us, cutting a path for her to flee through, back toward the others. She screams as I cut the one that is wrapping itself around her, doubtless believing I will run her through with my hand as well, but she needn’t worry; I have more control over myself than that, and my only concern is protecting her and getting her back to Inuyasha so that I can undo the wrong I have done.

“KAGOME!”

I look back at Inuyasha briefly, seeing how very worried he is over her, and instantly grab her and deliver her to him, into his arms.

“You saved me…” She sounds surprised. Inuyasha wanted her, though. How could I do otherwise?

I leave to distract the monster once more before it can harm them, and within seconds, Inuyasha is there as well, cutting at it with his great sword. Good. Either of us could take it down alone, and now that we are together, we are unbeatable.

I am diving for the facsimile of Naraku’s body when I see them coming, up behind him; tentacles that have reformed with out his knowledge. They will hurt him! It would take too long to tell him what is wrong, so I do all that I can, changing direction to insert myself between him and them…

“Inuyasha!” Kagome calls out a warning behind me as I cut through one, feel the second and third pierce through my chest, and look up to see Inuyasha looking at me…

“Sessho-maru!”

I am pulled suddenly away from him before I can even answer him, as Naraku’s puppet continues to run me through with tentacles from every direction, pulling me away, away from Inuyasha…

NOT the end! Next chapter coming soon!
