This is my first fan fiction that I have written in a long time. I am open to suggestions for improvement. If anyone sees a grammatical error that I missed, please tell me and I will correct it as soon as I can.

It was the night of the new moon and Kagome and the group were back in Kaede's village. Kagome was about to set off back to her own era to study and like always InuYasha tried to stop her.

"Kagome," complained InuYasha, "why are you going back to that weird era of yours?"

'"I told you already I have make-up exams to study for and I can't exactly study without my books. I'll be back in five days." Kagome turned around and started walking in the direction of the Bone Eating Well.

"Five days," exclaimed InuYasha then dashed off to beat Kagome to the well before the sun set. Grabbing Kagome by the arm before she started to climb into the well he asked, "can't you comeback any sooner than five days?"

"No, the exams are in five days and I have barely studied, I need all the time I can get," explained Kagome. She stared to clime into the well, but no before saying, "and you need to rest, you have got a terrible wound on your arm from today's fight and it won't heal as quickly as it normally would."

"Keh, this wound is nothing but a scratch for me."

"InuYasha s-"

"No! Don't tell me to sit," screamed InuYasha covering his ears.

Kagome said, "I was going to tell you 'stay here.' You fought a demon that was harder for you than usual because your powers weren't as strong today. Now just stay here and sleep."

"You know I never sleep-Hey! Where did you go? Don't tell me that you already left." He shouted at the well as the sun and the moon changed places. His silver hair turned to black and his amber eyes changed to brown/violet. His dog-like features disappeared for the night: the night he was human.

InuYasha started running toward Kaede's hut to stay at until the night was over. Already there, having dinner were Sango, Kirara, Miroku, and Shippou. As he entered the hut, InuYasha felt tired, no, sleepy.

"Hey InuYasha," said Shippou, "did Kagome leave already?"

"Yeah," InuYasha answered slowly, how exhausted he was slowed his reaction time.

"Sango," whispered Miroku, "do you think InuYasha is depressed that Lady Kagome had left on the night of the new moon?"

"Perhaps," whispered back Sango, "Kagome does seem to be the only one to make his human nights bearable for him and calm by his standards anyday."

Then everyone realized what was really bringing InuYasha down. It was obvious he kept forcing himself awake every couple of minutes.

"I ain't falling asleep. Not tonight," InuYasha repeated in his head.

"InuYasha," said Miroku, "perhaps you should go to Kagome's country and rest there. You said so yourself, there aren't any demons that are a threat there."

InuYasha thought 'maybe since it's five hundred years in the future, there won't be a new moon!' He sprung to his feet and said "that's a great idea, Miroku. I'll head over the well right now!"

"Glad you think so, InuYasha," said the monk, "Shippou, go with him to the well to make sure he doesn't fall asleep on the way."

"OK," agreed Shippou.

"Keh, I don't need a chaperone."

"Better safe than sorry," said Shippou sitting on InuYasha's shoulder.

"Fine, whatever," InuYasha muttered as he turned around and left the hut.

"Wow, houshi-sama," said Sango said when she and Miroku were alone, "that was really a great suggestion to have InuYasha go to Kagome's country and get some rest."

"My dear Sango," said Miroku as he took one of Sango's hands, "I am a humble, knowledgeable monk. I do what I can for others." Then he turned over Sango's hand as if he were doing a palm reading.

While blushing across her face Sango said, "w-what are you doing Houshi-sama?"

"My, my Sango. You have an interesting reading," announced Miroku, looking intrigued.

"Oh, yeah? What does it say," asked Sango, with a hint of annoyance due to expecting a perverted comment from the monk.

"It says 'You will bare the humble and knowledgeable monk's child.'" Shortly he started rubbing Sango's bottom with his free hand.

Sango slapped his cheek, leaving a red mark of her hand. "It must have been the humble, knowledgeable, and lecherous monk," Sango said before leaving with Kirara following.
