Kagome sat, legs folded underneath her, and close to the hearth that was lit in the middle of the room of the Kaede's hut. Miroku and Sango sat across from her, filling bowls of hot rice and passing them out the members of their group. Even in the warm hut, Kagome could feel the bone-chilling cold from the outside. It had seemed that the Feudal era now was officially winter-or at least it felt that way. Shippo was curled into her lap, but then, rearranged himself to accept a rice bowl from Sango. Kagome slipped free of the purple, feather down coat she remembered to bring back with her, in order to eat her rice with out constraint. The room was very quiet; accept for the sounds of the wind from outside and the crackles of the open fire.

Quiet, there was such a word that did not exist with a certain Hanyou or half breed, whose mouth was always running and very brash.

"Say, Miroku, Sango…where is Inuyasha? I haven't seen him tonight and I have been back for an hour now." Kagome asked as she received her rice bowl.

Shippo was the first to speak. "You know how Inuyasha gets, the night of the new moon is only a few days away and he's out somewhere brooding about how he's going to be a mere mortal…he's probably slaying demons around too. He knew you were coming back and well…he's got to protect you. It's generous of him, but seriously these moods make him insuperable."

Kagome nodded in agreement, also looking around Kaede's empty hut they were staying in. "I take it Kaede isn't in the village either, so that makes him more worried too, even if he won't admit it. Don't worry I'll keep him in check while I am here." A thought came to Kagome as she stuffed a small portion of rice into her mouth. "Oh, hey? What's going on in the village right now? I have noticed that people have been out in the woods with bond fires…is it the New Year already?"

Miroku's eyes bulged and a smile crept across his fire lit face. "It's the winter solstice coming…in fact the first night will be the same night of the new moon. That's should make things rather interesting for me, and Inuyasha." Sango rolled her eyes at his last admission.

Kagome scowled slightly. "Do I dare ask what you mean by that?"

Sango sighed and placed her empty rice down. "It means that he can go spread his seed that night, with the rest of themonks and priestesses."

Kagome was officially confused now. "I know a little about what the solstice is… but I don't understand the whole fertility thing and what does that have to do with InuYasha?"

Miroku was going to speak, mouth already agape, but Sango again cut him off. Shippo snuggled back into Kagome's lap and ignored the now turned adult conversation.

"It's a special time of the season, the winter solstice, especially for humans that possess spiritual powers. I don't know the fine details…but perhaps Miroku is pointing out the Inuyasha is going to be far worse than normal."

"Is that even possible?" Shippo piped in un-expectantly.

"What Sango is saying is that the solstice has an affect on fertility, balance and unity. It also allows us humans to be in close contact, emotionally and physically on the darkest part of the year. Inuyasha is very unbalanced on a normal basis and emotionally severed majority of the time. In his human form, he is very vulnerable, which makes all the more irritating. His demon powers are stripped, so his ki is affected. The solstice can make him more agitated or more gratuitous. But it does not have any effect on whether or not he can mate."

Kagome laughed again at that use of that word. "I see." She answered curtly as her thoughts dove back to the very word that made her laugh. How did the winter solstice affect humans with spiritual powers? How would this phenomenon affect Inuyasha as human directly? Could this be the opportunity that she had been waiting for since that crucial night of the new moon when she got to feel for the first time; all of Inuyasha's feelings, his wants, his needs and his thoughts? Since that night, she caught him a few times, gazing at her body; at those places that were so sacred and untouched. Her cheeks flushed at the mere thought. She knew he wanted to explore those places, but his need for control his was greater than that goal itself. Then, there was the whole point that she would loose her spiritual powers if she were to become tainted, and impure. But if there was such a night when she could be intimate and give herself to him with out such a tragedy, then she would gladly take advantage of the situation. But how was she going to get the others to go away, so that she could pursue the lecherous monk into answering her most private of questions.

"Shippo, I think that you and I should go take Kirara and look for Inuyasha. He has been gone for a long time; I fear that he may have started trouble… somewhere." Sango offered, saving the moment and granting Kagome the wish that she so desired.

"I guess you could make use of my nose, but I think it will be hard to track InuYasha down considering his powers have already started waning." Shipped replied, reluctantly getting off and out of Kagome's warm lap.

"But let's go find the idiot anyway." Sango nodded and grabbed her shawl. They retreated from the hut quietly letting the flap of the door hit the door frame lightly.

Kagome sighed as she placed her rice bowl to the floor and slipped back into her coat. Miroku mimicked her actions and dusted his hands off.

"Kagome, I can't help but wonder why you questioned the theory of the solstice. You of all people should know what that event means, as a priestess. But then again, it is only a theory and most miko's in this time won't even try to woe a man. They feel that it is impure to even let a man into their heart; example would be of what happened to Kikyo and Inuyasha. I don't know if he ever told you but, she would bathe herself in a purifying place each and every time they met. I think that it insulted him, even if he never actually said that it did. I would be offended. Can you imagine how he felt when Kaede told him that Kikyo did that?"

Kagome was seething, just thinking about it. Not to mention, no one, not even Kaede offered to tell her this little startling piece of information. Kagome resided to not Sit InuYasha for failing to tell such a horrid thing. To think, Kagome was ecstatic to have him just hug her, but to kiss her and touch her…and love her, she would be honored. She would not be ashamed of who or what InuYasha was; because she knew that both halves of him returned her love.

Kagome sighed, letting her eyes fall onto the flickering flames of the small fire; fire that reminded her of the amber color of his eyes. Suddenly she missed him, and his abusive mouth. "I am not a priestess, Miroku, not entirely…I am a reincarnation and I think that makes a difference. It was only a month ago I knew that I was to stay pure…" She could not help the rouge that blessed her cheeks. "Inuyasha and I had a little moment, and he told I had to stay pure, that I could not allow my powers to decrease like Kikyo's, because he needed me to fight Naraku with him. And I understand that, I want to be there and by his side…but the selfish part of me wants to have him; I have taught him so much about friendship, trust and love, I fell I need to teach him more."

Miroku smiled light-heartedly as he crossed his hands into his lap. "You must really love InuYasha, hmm? And you have loved him for a long time? As I have loved Sango."

Kagome's cheeks could have not gone any brighter a shade of red. "I have and I do…so tell me about the solstice and how it affects spiritual people like you and me."

Miroku shifted his weight and leaned back onto his hands, he inhaled deeply. "Every year there is two solstices, one in the summer and one in the winter. These are times when the planets are in perfect alignment, a time when balance is restored. The winter solstice is important because winter is the darkest part of the year; people become more inactive, melancholy and unwilling. When the solstice occurs, it allows people to merge with one another, socially, emotionally and in this case sexually. It brightens their spirit so to speak. For us who have spiritual powers, it allows us to be close to the ones we love, considering that we are to stay pure. The Gods give us an opportunity to live as ordinary people for one night. I myself have plans to woe Sango, don't tell her though, I want to show her how deeply in love I am with her…if she will allow it."

Kagome's brown eyes were as large as coins. Not just because she was told that she could have Inuyasha, but because the once sly monk had proclaimed his undying love for Sango.

"That is so lovely Miroku; I didn't know you had it in you." Here I thought he really was the Lech he proclaims to be, Inuyasha would have crapped his hakama. Kagome thought. The hut was again quiet. A moment passed along with the scent of dried leaves caught in the wind.

"Miroku? Can I ask you something?" Kagome whispered, silently wishing she wasn't about to be incredibly embarrassed.

"Sure, anything, Kagome." The Good monk supplied.

Kagome twiddled her thumbs in her lap and tried to control her breathing. "What does it feel like…to make love? I mean, what feels good to a man?"

Miroku's grin was smug for sure. "Ah, Kagome it gives me great pleasure to know that you are coming to me for such advice!"

Kagome scowled. Unfortunately you are only person I can come to. You're the only person with the experience other than kissing. Maybe I should just shut up before I dig myself a fine hole.

"Hmmm, well, men like to be touched almost every where, they like to be kissed, they like to feel needed…and they like to be begged at times. When woman start begging, that means that the man has taken his time with the woman and pleasured her correctly. And that is something a man never forgets. But if we are talking about Inuyasha, your guess is as good as mine. He is after all a half breed and that can not be easy on the sex drive. If what you have said is true, I'd guess that Inuyasha would want to channel his human side when making love, the new moon is perfect, however, he would need to channel that as a hanyou too. He needs to find where exactly his heart resides….but if I were to guess he's being as stubborn as an ass." Miroku laughed when Kagome giggled at his statement.

In order to keep her secret a secret, she figured she would brush Miroku off and tell him she was simply curious. But then again she needed alone time with Inuyasha and he wasn't going to voluntarily go back to modern times with her.

"Kagome, if you want some alone time with Inuyasha that night, I will gladly take Sango and Shippo back to my home village. Besides I think Master will definitely approve of Sango's beauty. Kaede will most likely stay in the East to assist with the festivities and Demons there, you can have this place to your self…I'll even purify it once I return…if I need to."

Kagome was sure glad he added that last line, for her looks could have killed. "That would be nice…" She pondered out loud. "But don't you go blabbing your mouth like an old gossiping hen, Miroku. I didn't say I was going to do anything. Inuyasha is as stubborn as they come, even in his human form."

"What about my human form?" She heard a familiar voice snap.

Kagome sighed audibly and closed her eyes. His mood was definitely foul.

"Inuyasha, Sit boy." She spoke dryly.

"Nng!" She watched stoically as Inuyasha's form proceeded downward and into the floor of the hut. He wasn't even through the door yet.

"KAGOME! What the hell was that for?" Inuyasha bellowed in front of a snickering Sango and Shippo.

Kagome turned her nose up into the air. "Hmph, because I am mad at you." She replied snottily.

"For what? I haven't even been here to piss you off! I jus' got here, damn…" Inuyasha grumbled, plopping himself next to her. He reeked of Demonic blood, dirt and wind and Kagome wondered how he was going to bathe with the frigid weather.

"Because I am. It is simple as that."

"Feh, what else is new…" He groused as he tucked his hands into the sleeves of his haori. Kagome watched as his ears twitch in annoyance. She was mad at him, indeed after what Miroku had told her. She had wished that InuYasha had put a little more trust into her, sometimes. However it wasn't going to be easy for her to get him to do so.

"So, you have been sittin' here with the Lech. Have anything interesting to chat about…I don' know… like the night of the new moon for instance?"

Kagome ignored the sharp tone in his voice and ignored his pestering presence.

"Not everything is about you, Inuyasha…an' it's none of your business anyway."

"What ever…" Kagome had reached her patience with the half-breed.

"You know what? I am sick of your mood, your attitude and honestly you stink of blood. I am going home, Inuyasha!" Kagome spinned on him, pointing an accusing finger in his face. His ears flattened and his face went pale. Even Inuyasha would admit that Kagome was frightening when she was angry.

"What did I do!" Inuyasha shrieked. Kagome stood up quickly and retreated as hastily as she could from Kaede's hut.

Inuyasha was soon to follow, shoving his Tetsaiga into the obi of his hakama. "Wait!" He hollered, roughly yanking the flap of the hut open.

"What did you two talk about? Kagome is furious with him?" Sango asked, bewildered by the young woman's behavior. Miroku, grimaced, scratching the end of his chin.

"I may have told her something that Inuyasha should have told her." Miroku announced sheepishly.

Sango's eyes narrowed, for she knew what the monk had told. "You told her about what Kaede told him a while back, didn't you? Miroku, you know how upset Kagome get's when Kikyo is brought up."

"It wasn't like that, she is upset that Kikyo did such a thing, but more upset that Inuyasha didn't confide in her. She wants that from him, in order to have a future with him."
