The cold shower had relieved the worst of Kagome's burning skin. As she dressed in a warm grey sweater that brought out the silver rim in her eyes and a pair of blue jeans, she gazed out the window. The sky was the blackest black that it could be and the wind threw itself against the castle walls. The storm had progressed much more than before and lighting dotted across the sky. Classes were canceled until it let up. She turned away from the window because an ominous feeling filled her gut. She wasn't sure why, but this storm was a bad omen. At that moment the door to her room creaked open, and Harry, disheveled hair and all, peeked around the corner. "Hey Kagome." He said shyly.
"Hey Harry, what's up?" She asked with a smile.
He seemed to gain more confidence when she smiled at him, and he came farther into the room. "I was wondering if you'd like to come down to breakfast with me? The others are already there."
"Sure."
The walk there at first was an awkward silence, considering the fact that they were alone, and hadn't spoken to each other since yesterday's incident. After a few moments Harry broke it. "So uh…Kagome, about yesterday…"
"Thank you." She said it so abruptly that it startled him.
"W-What for exactly?"
She smiled. "Don't be so naive Harry. I thank you for sticking up for me last night. I also thank you because you were my friend first, and a hormonal jealous guy second." Kagome giggled as he blushed. She swooped her hand in to grab his, mindful of the claws she sometimes forgot she had. At the first brush of their fingers, it was like an electric current shot between them. Harry gasped, and Kagome 'eeped'. She however, did not pull her hand away.
Her heart was pounding and she looked up to see Harry gazing at her intently. His face no longer held any of the reserved, bashfulness she had become accustomed to. It held a new found confidence, a heat in his eyes that sent a shiver down her spine and a churning in her gut.
"Kagome…" The way he said her name made her breath catch and the next thing she knew, she was being tugged into his embrace. He held her, hugged her, with his face close beside hers. "Kagome…I'm here for you, you know that right? No matter what it is, I'm there. This…this whole thing that is going on with you right now, I'll help anyway that I can. I know I cannot compete of compare to Inuyasha or Koga but…" She pulled away and Harry was startled by the tears that were glimmering in her eyes. "Kagome I'm sorr-" She cut him off by kissing his cheek, causing another blush to grace his cheeks.
"Thank you Harry. I really appreciate that. You don't have to compete with Inuyasha or Koga. You are just as valuable a friend to me as they are. Not to mention that I have enough trouble with them competing with each other that I don't need you thrown into the mix. And that's just it…my life is too complicated as it is right now to have you as another one of the guys vying for my attention. I'm sorry Harry, but I would prefer if we kept it as friends." She felt bad for being so blunt, but she valued the friendship they had between one another more than having him try and be more and she couldn't deliver the feelings. Koga and Inuyasha were all she thought she could handle at the moment…not to mention whatever it was she had with Malfoy still. She finally realized that she had been giving Harry mixed signals for a while now, and that she needed to stop any pretense of them ever being a couple.
Harry knew that he should have felt hurt, but surprisingly he didn't, not really anyways. He had certainly been hopeful, but he understood her reasoning completely, and was actually glad for it. He was worried that she'd turn him down just because he wasn't good enough or something equally silly like that. No, she just didn't want any more complications then she already had and he respected that. He smiled to show her that he wasn't hurt and her face lit up with relief. "Kagome, I respect that, and I respect you. This just means that I'm going to be the best friend that you've never had. Now let's get to the Great Hall before someone comes looking for us." She giggled, and looped her arm in his when he offered it.
Luckily, they were not the only ones shuffling into the Great Hall, which meant that they haven't even missed Dumbledore's speech. They headed to their usual spot with greetings from everyone. Two sets of eyes glared at their entwined arms suspiciously, but when Kagome looked their way, they looked away awkwardly. Koga and Inuyasha were obviously still thinking about what happened this morning. Harry and her split off as he went to sit with Ron and Hermione, and she sat between Sango and Inuyasha. No one got a chance to say anything because Dumbledore had stood up.
"Good morning everyone." There were choruses of 'good morning' repeated back to him, "Though as you can see from outside, it doesn't look like morning at all. This storm doesn't seem that it's going to dissipate anytime soon. Like I have said last night, your classes will be canceled until further notice. Now, enjoy your breakfast." And like always, the food appeared on the tables, along with their delicious aromas.
As they piled up their plated, Hermione started the conversation. "I really don't understand why classes have been canceled just because of a storm. I mean really, we've had storms like this before and still had classes."
Ron rolled his eyes. "Really Hermione, why can't you just be glad that we don't have classes or homework?"
Before she could reply, Harry and Kagome spoke up simultaneously, "This storm is different."
Everyone stared at them. "What?" Kagome asked, taking a bite of her bagel.
"How is it different exactly?" Someone asked.
"I don't know, I just have a bad feeling about it is all." She looked at Harry, and he nodded in agreement.
"I don't like it either…" Inuyasha said, glaring at the ceiling that showed the turmoil outside.
Kagome studied him. He seemed tense, and a storm never made him that way before. Then it hit her. "Tonight is the night of the new moon." It was more of a statement than a question.
The Inutachi gang looked amongst one another in consideration. Inuyasha's face darkened, and everyone else just looked confused. "Keh. What's it to ya?" Kagome smiled at his reaction. Typical Inuyasha.
"I don't mean to pry, but what does the new moon have to do with anything?" Hermione asked for everyone else's curiosity.
Everyone looked to Inuyasha for the answer but he was still scowling. "They'll find out anyway Inuyasha, and besides we can trust them." Kagome placed a reassuring hand on his arm.
"Fine." He bit out. Kagome smiled and reached up to rub his ear between her fingers. Inuyasha growled, but it was only half-hearted.
She turned her attention to everyone else. "On the night of every new moon, Inuyasha becomes human until morning. His demonic features shift into human ones, and he loses his demonic powers. It's all part of being a half-demon."
"Too bad he doesn't lose his demonic personality." Shippo blurted out.
Inuyasha's eyebrow twitched and he raised a closed fist to the fox kit. "I heard that you little runt." The runt in question hid from Inuyasha behind Kagome.
"That's really interesting," Hermione stated as she went back to her biscuit.
"Unfortunate is what it is," Inuyasha said.
Kagome giggled internally at the thought that now she would be the demon protecting their group while he was human. But that put another thought into her mind. "I'm not a full demon either…does that mean I'll forgo a transformation as well?"
They all looked at her, and Inuyasha even opened his eyes to take a glimpse at her. "That's a good question Kagome…I'm not sure on the logistics of all that, but our best bet would be to wait it out and see what the outcomes are." Miroku answered thoughtfully.
"I guess you're right." She said.
"Don't worry Kagome. I'll be here to protect you since mutt-face can't. Not that he really ever did anyways." Koga finally spoke up with his usual smirk gracing his face.
Inuyasha growled. "The only thing she'll need protection from is you, you mangy wolf."
Koga was about to retort when Kagome beat him to it. "I told you two no arguing. This isn't the feudal era where you can wave your big sword around and throw kicks in each other's faces. Now behave."
"Anything to keep you happy Kagome." Koga beamed.
Inuyasha glared at him, pushed his empty plate away and stuck his nose in the air. "Feh."
The Inutachi ignored the fight because they were used to them all the time. Harry and the others watched with interest because they were new to all of it. Even people from other tables were getting a good stare or two. Ron decided to change the subject. "So what are we all going to do for the rest of the day with no classes and all?"
"Well, it isn't like we can do anything outside with this kind of weather," Harry spoke up, finishing off his breakfast.
"Let's just do whatever comes to mind." Kagome suggested and most of them agreed. Soon breakfast let out, and the others all departed back to the dorms when they realized things that could be done and the next thing Kagome knew she was alone with Koga and Inuyasha. The awkwardness came back just as quickly as it had left and Kagome's cheeks turned red as she thought about what had happened earlier in the morning. "So…uh…" She started to say when Koga stiffened suddenly as he stared out the window. "Koga?"
"Something is going on with the pack." He turned to her and the next thing she knew, she was swept up into his arms. There was a warning growl from Inuyasha as his hand touched the hilt of his sword instinctually. Koga ignored him as his attention was all for Kagome. "I have to go see what's going on, but I'll be back to you as soon as I can be."
"But the weather…" She said worriedly, her brow knitting together.
He pulled back enough to gaze longingly at her face. "I'll be fine." He grinned, but his face grew somber again as he turned it to the glaring Inuyasha. "Take care of her. And you better not let anyone touch her while I'm gone. That includes you." By touch he obviously meant "mate".
Inuyasha still continued to glare, and Koga glared right back until a gentle touch to his cheek had him turning back to Kagome. His gaze softened at the worry that was lacing her onyx eyes, and the silver that rimmed them seemed to be brighter, as if when her emotions were at their strongest it glowed. For the second time that morning, Kagome had a bad feeling in the pit of her stomach, but now it was at the thought of Koga leaving in the middle of this hideous storm. She knew that he could take care of himself, as he had done so countless times before but that didn't stop her from worrying. "You be careful."
He gave her a special smile that she knew was only meant for her and then he planted a chaste kiss on her lips and he was gone before her or Inuyasha could react. Kagome's fingers touched her lips as she looked out the window, watching Koga's tornado disappear into the forest. Inuyasha wanted to throw one of his renowned fits for the kiss he just witnessed. However, he didn't want to get on her bad side, and he knew that Koga was the one that kissed her, not the other way around. Placing a hand on her shoulder, he got her attention. "Let's get back to the others Kagome." She nodded and followed.
The others all had questions on the whereabouts of the wolf prince, and Kagome explained briefly, and that was the end of that. Inuyasha plopped himself down beside the fire, crossing his legs, and planting his sword in his lap, one hand grasped firmly on it as he closed his eyes. Hermione was off in the corner doing homework related things, though everyone knew she didn't need to. Ron and Harry were looking quite disappointed as it seemed that Miroku had become a fast learner at wizard's chess and had managed to beat them both. Shippo was coloring and hanging up his artwork around the dorm under the supervision of a certain fire cat. Kagome joined Sango on the couch where she was polishing her and Miroku's weapons, and they made idle chitchat. Altogether it was a comfortable morning and it lasted well into the afternoon as they even had their lunch delivered to them by the kitchen elves.
Eventually the boys had grown tired of playing chess, and Hermione had decided that she had done enough studying for the night. They were all gathered around the fire chatting about pretty much anything there was to chat about. Ron and Harry were telling the story of the time they played life sized wizard's chess when Hermione suddenly gasped. Startled, everyone looked to her, but she was staring across from her. When the Inutachi realized what she was looking at they all relaxed. Harry and Ron were as shocked as she was. Kagome smiled as she looked upon Inuyasha. Night must have finally struck because his hair was slowly turning black; his claws shrunk down to the dull nails of human males, his ears became rounded, and were located on the sides of his head. He opened his eyes, and the gold they normally held was replaced by deep violet.
"What are you all looking at? Knock it off!" He grumbled out, and his mouth no longer held the fangs they had only moments before.
"I-I'm sorry, that was so amazing. It was like…"
"Magic?" Kagome giggled as she finished off what Hermione couldn't seem to say.
"Yeah." She laughed.
"That was bloody brilliant!" Ron said.
"Does it hurt?" Harry asked.
"No," Inuyasha grumbled.
"Question is….are you feeling alright Kagome?" Miroku asked, and everyone turned concerned eyes to her.
Kagome thought about it, tried to think if she felt any different. "No…I believe I'm alright. I guess no wicked changes for me huh?" She smiled.
"Well, you are more than a half-demon," Sango said.
"Yeah, why don't you all just rub it in?" Inuyasha said with frustration as he stood up and stretched out.
"Inuyasha I didn't mean to offend-"
"Oh save it…I know." He headed towards the bedroom he and Miroku shared.
"Where are you going?" Kagome asked, looking after him with worried eyes.
"I'm going to get some rest. Is that okay with you?" He didn't seem to want to look at her.
She stood up and walked over to him. "Are you okay Inuyasha?"
"Feh, of course, I am."
"Well you don't have to be a jerk to everyone! Sorry I can't help that I'm more demon than you are! At least you know what you're doing, I on the other hand had this all thrown on me at once. Not to mention this whole "heat" complication! And you want to act like a stubborn jerk!" She shrieked.
Everyone stared. Sango and Miroku looked at one another and sighed. They knew it was only a matter of time before they'd fight amongst one another.
Inuyasha gaped at her. "I am not being a jerk! It isn't even about you being more demon than me!"
"Than what's this all about?!" She placed her hands on her hips.
"It's none of your business!" Inuyasha said and he walked into the room and slammed the door.
Kagome fumed to herself, but she didn't go after him like she normally would. It would just cause more trouble than there already was. Inuyasha could throw his little fit all he wanted. She stomped back to where the others were at. "The nerve of him sometimes I swear!"
"Kagome, he's only acting that way because he doesn't like the thought of not being the one able to protect you is all," Sango said to try and pacify her friend's anger.
"You think so?" She asked, already mellowing out.
"Yes, but I wouldn't go in there. He'd hate the thought of you knowing how he feels even more." Miroku answered.
"You're right; I'll just let him cool off. I think I'm going to get some rest too." She stood up and said her goodnights to all of them.
Harry, Ron and Hermione left soon after to go to their dormitory, and Sango carried Kirara to bed as Miroku did the same with a sleeping Shippo.
Kagome had been tossing and turning in her bed for most of the night, drifting in and out of sleep. Just when she thought she was finally falling into a deeper sleep, she sat bolt awake in bed. Something was here. Not here, as in the castle here, but it was close. Her demon instincts went into overdrive as she shot out of bed to go look out the window. If she still had her human eyesight, she wouldn't have been able to see anything but blackness. Even with her newly improved eyesight, she still saw a lot of darkness, but she blamed that on the storm that was still raging outside. Right now it was mostly rain, but off in the distance there was the distant sound of thunder and a flash of lightening. She looked out towards the forbidden forest, and that's when she felt it, a strong demonic aura. The first thing that came across her mind was to go get Inuyasha, and that's when she remembered that he was still in his human form, and all that would do was get him hurt or worse. She chided herself for being so stupid.
'I just need to concentrate on it. Try to sense jewel shards.' She knew if there were two jewel shards that it might just be Koga returning like he said he would. If there were many…she didn't even want to think of Naraku coming through to this time. That was a dangerous idea. She concentrated hard, and sensed that there were no jewel shards. Meaning no Naraku, and what a relief that was. 'I need to get a closer look.' She knew that it was potentially hazardous going out there herself, but she didn't care. She had an obligation to protect her friends, and since it wasn't their sworn enemy, she knew she had a better chance. With inhuman speed, she raced out of the castle and towards the dark forest for a second time in the past couple of days, to confront a demon. She stopped when she knew she was meters off, and hoped that the pouring rain that she was now drenched with would mask her scent from it. The only problem being was that she also couldn't smell really well. Kagome pushed out her youkai and miko powers in search of the demon and realized her mistake to late.
The demon felt her presence and pushed back with its own youkai powers, trying to dominate hers. She pulled hers back immediately but she was still too late, the demon knew how to find her. Before she could even think about fleeing or standing her ground, it was in her presence. No…he was in her presence, for she could sense that it was indeed a male demon. She spun quickly around to face him and was shocked still.
Sesshomaru.
