Tears of a Full Moon
Chapter 3
It felt like hours had passed before I woke up. �Where am I?� I tried to sit up but I was too weak. �Your in safe hands, do not worry� I heard a voice say. I looked over to the side and saw Miroku. I jumped up and starting growling at him, but he wasn�t paying attention. �I know I was planning on trying with a human, but a demon would mean my son would be stringer. Oh well, it�s worth a try� he said talking himself. Then he noticed I had gotten up. �Well, I guess that means your feeling strong enough to move� he said smiling. I gave him an ugly stare. �Why the harshness? We can be friends can�t we? My name is Miroku. What�s yours?� he said sweetly. I calmed down. �My name is Nikooru� I said staring at his hand. I wasn�t going to take any chances. Then all of a sudden, my legs gave out, but I didn�t fall to the floor. I looked up and Inuyasha had caught me. �What are you doing up?� he said. I stared at him. �Miroku, did you touch her?� Inuyasha said. �No no, I swear I was just talking! He said with a guilty laugh. �I�m going to go tell the others she's up� Miroku said quickly running out of the room. I struggled to stand up by myself, but my legs were too weak. �Here� Inuyasha said guiding me to the mat. I sat down, but much to my surprise I refused to look up at him.
"What�s wrong with me? Why won�t I look at him?� I thought to myself. "I need to ask you something. Are you� a half-demon?� Inuyasha asked. �What gave you that idea?� I snapped at him. �Well, I just wanted to know why you looked so much like me� he said kindly.
"Why is he being so nice to me?" I thought and looked at him. �I�m sorry. I didn�t mean to snap at you� I said. Then Kagome came into the room. �It�s good to see your alright. I was starting to lose a little hope. You were asleep for 4 days."
"4 days?� I thought. "Miroku told me your name was Nikooru. It�s nice to finally be able to talk to you� Kagome said sounding so cheerful.
"Why is she so happy?" I stood up and started to walk out the door. �Where are you going� Kagome asked. �I need some fresh air. If that�s ok� I said leaning against the door. �Sure, be careful. Inuyasha, why don�t you help her walk?� Kagome said.
"Why do I hate you so much Kagome? Inuyasha got up and put me on his back. He walked me outside. We took a little walk in the forest. As we walked I noticed a tail poking out of a bush. Then Yoko�s head popped up, but was pushed back down. Then Kurayami�s head popped up. She put a thumbs up and made me laugh. I had to try and hold it in. �You alright?� Inuyasha asked. �Yes, I�m fine. I can walk from here� I said getting off his back. �Where are you going? You still don�t have enough strength to walk� Inuyasha said. �I may be half-demon, but that doesn�t mean I�m weak!� I yelled at him. Yoko and Kurayami looked stunned. �I didn�t mean it like that. I wouldn�t make fun of a half-demon if I was one.� He said back to me. �Sorry. I�m just not in a good mood� I said to him. We both sat down . "What�s wrong?� he asked. �Inuyasha, you of all people should know why I�m upset.� I said looking down. I have to make him feel sorry for me. That was the plan. �I can�t wait until I gather all of the shards of the sacred jewel and become full-demon. Then I�ll show em all that they shouldn�t have messed with me! They�ll all be sorry. and I�ll laugh when I slice them up, one by one!� I said noticing that I sounded much like Naraku. Inuyasha looked at me. �You can�t do that� he said. �Who�s gonna stop me?� I said back to him. �On the inside all half-demons want to get back at everyone, but then we all know it�s wrong� we all just have to learn to deal with it.� He said with softness in his voice. �I�ve been dealing with it my whole life, and sooner or later they�re gonna take action. I�m just gonna attack them before they get us� I said. Inuyasha still just stared at me. �You and I aren�t that different, Inuyasha. We have both lived through the torture. You�re the only person I think I can trust. You know why?� I asked. �Why?� Inuyasha said starting to blush. �Because if I couldn�t trust you, you would have slaughtered me a long time ago. I feel like I really have a friend now. Thank you, Inuyasha� I said standing up. Then Inuyasha stood up too, but he wasn�t looking at me. I began to walk when I tripped on a vine. Inuyasha caught me then looked at me. Then I looked at him and began to blush. He began to blush too. Then he started to bring his face closer and closer to mine. I just sat there.
"OMG OMG OMG! He�s gonna kiss me!" then he did. I closed my eyes and kissed him back.
"SCORE! NIKOORU: 1 KAGOME: 0" then he stopped. He looked at me, then behind me. �What�s wrong, Inuyasha?� I said turning my head. �Kagome!� I said. she looked at me then at Inuyasha. �Inu�yasha?� she said. She put her head down and started to cry. The she turned around and ran. �Kagome!� Inuyasha yelled. He let go of me and ran after Kagome.
"I CAN�T BELIEVE HIM!" I dropped to my knees and put my hands on the ground. Then I started to cry. �He still loves her!� I said while tears ran down my eyes.
