A/N: A fic inspired by the full moon. Hope you like it. InuYasha belongs to Rumiko Takahashi. I own the plot though. ^^
Chapter 1: Night of the Full Moon
It is the night of the full moon.
A night when a dog's howling can be heard and where a lone figure is bathing in the moon's light, silver fur glistening for all to see.
A lucky miko seeing this sight gasped as the dog turned its head in her direction.
She was in awe at the magnificent creature under the full moon's light that she failed to notice it come near her.
"Wow." She whispered letting the gentle breeze carry her words.
The dog demon, in hearing this, smirked and transformed back into his human form.
"Miko, what brings you here?" He breathed in her ear sending shivers down her spine.
"The full moon guided me here. Now I know why." She answered mysteriously with a smile.
The daiyoukai quirked an eyebrow at her but kept silent.
"I know you're wondering what I mean. It's simple really. The gods made the moon guide me to where you are. They made my wish come true." The miko explained.
"Hn. What was your wish?" He asked.
Kagome was silent for a while but she answered his question. "I wished that when the next full moon came that it will lead me to the one that I will truly love."
The demon lord nodded at her answer.
She turned to leave but he held her hand. She looked at him questioningly.
"Stay a little while longer." He requested and she complied.
"Thank you for letting me stay." She said in a small voice.
"Thank you for staying." He replied squeezing her hand tight.
She smiled at him sadly. "I wish we could stay like this forever."
"I wish for the same thing but we both know that it can never be. It will end eventually." He said looking straight ahead.
The girl beside him placed her head on his shoulder and whispered, "I understand, till we meet again Sesshoumaru."
Then she left without another word, not even glancing back.
Sesshoumaru smelt her tears and said in a sad voice, "Till we meet again Kagome."
He went in the opposite direction all the while thinking what could have been.
'She should have been mine if it wasn't for him meeting her first.'
InuYasha was watching the whole scene seriously.
He knows that they can both sense his aura but he was surprised that they just ignored him.
'That's a first.' He thought.
He saw how they interact with each other and it made him jealous.
"I understand till we meet again Sesshoumaru."
He heard Kagome say before she left with tears falling down her sapphire eyes.
'So that's why she reacts that way when we meet him on certain occasions.' He mused.
"InuYasha come out. I know you're there." Her voice jerked him out of his thoughts.
"Keh. Let's go wench. What took you so long anyway?" He said arrogantly.
"What I do is none of your business. It's not as if you're my father that I should report everything to you." She replied coldly.
"Now I see where you get your attitude." He mumbled.
"Excuse me? Did you just say something?" She asked.
He shrugged and walked ahead of her not wanting her to hear his ramblings.
A/N: I started this fic with Sesshoumaru and Kagome in love with each other. Kagome just confirmed her feelings with the help of the full moon. This is quite a sad beginning actually. Both of them knew that because of InuYasha, they can't be together. Whew, anyway don't forget to review. ^^
