Chapter one

Light sparkled through thick clouds of darkness slowly piercing their way into the dull pain turned to
a grown up headache from hell. At least that was what pulsed through Kagome's mind as she found
the way back from sleep. Waking the soreness and pain in several places of her body that she never
knew existed at all – at least till today. She wailed and turned around; cuddling back into the warmth
of the wonderful soft and comfortable bed, whilst strong arms wrapped around her naked body to
pull her closer to another source of warmth.

For a single peaceful moment she felt home; a bit like in her favourite dream -minus the headache and
soreness in her bones- but home.

She was securely tucked away in a warm bed, strong arms wrapped around her body and her secret
love and half-demon protector was sleeping behind her. It really could have been a dream that she
might have enjoyed in all its glory; from the tickle on her skin where his naked body touched hers
right down to that wonderful combination of forest smells that made her lovers unique scent. Till her
mind started to wonder how she could smell him so clearly or what this other lingering scent was all
over her. She seemed to recall that it was not even her own bed she was slumbering in and – more
importantly- that all this was feeling – or smelling- by far to real to be a dream.

Suddenly her eyes flew wide open in confusion; fighting back the sickening headache as good as she
could whilst she wriggled herself out of the man's arms, shock and fear making her stronger than that
male creature that slept still beside her. He groaned and she could swear to all kami in the universe it
was Inuyasha's voice complaining with a bunch of colourful curses that it was far too early to wake
up, especially after such a nice and straining night.

"Inu…Inuyasha?" She blinked and narrowed her eyes. His dog ears twitched on top of that white
mane as he heard his name, glaring at her with sleepy golden eyes whilst presenting her with a –
almost - full view of all his well muscled body parts.

A blush was burning on her cheeks and made her confusion even worse; forcing her to crawl
backwards and away from her shock only to collide with another hard body behind her.

As if the irritation caused by the almost naked body of the Hanyou had not been enough yet, the
chaos doubled now and threw her poor messed up head into absolute Chaos at the sight of yet
another almost naked man.

A naked sliver haired man who slept – or better was waking right now – right there behind her on the
bed.

"Sesshomarou!" She yelped out and tried to crawl away from both at the same time.

This had to be a nightmare; the last thing she remembered was a stupid argument with Inuyasha and
now she was in bed with the two naked brothers and a headache that made it hard for her to open her
eyes at all.

She pressed her eyes closed for a long moment -exhaling deeply before refilling her lungs with a deep
breath- every moment her mother would call her for breakfast and she would go to school. But the call
never came -even after another deep breath- so she opened her eyes and found the two men look at
her from their corners of the bed, she followed their look and found herself naked also.

She yelped out in an extremely unpleasant high tune that made the brothers wince in pain and
grabbed for the sheet.

"Oh Gods let this be a nightmare…" She wailed and rubbed her eyes with one hand whilst the other
tried to cover up anything she had to offer. "It must be a nightmare…" She muttered once more and
tried to pinch herself to prove that she was right, but to her distress she felt the pain.

A hand touched her, caressing gently over her shoulder. "Are you alright Koi?"

"AHH!" She yelped out again and jumped backwards directly into the other's arms.

"Stop the noise woman…" The cold voice of the man who had caught her observed and she turned
her head in shock; meeting face to face with Inuyasha's half brother Sesshomarou once more.

Kagome blinked in shock recapitulating what just happened; waking up with a headache, Inuyasha
and to top it, Sesshomarou. This had to be the worst fucking nightmare she ever had! So she did what
she meant would help her out of it – as it had always done in all the strange horror movies she had
seen - and screamed as if her live would depend on it.

"Stop that screeching sound woman…" Sesshomarou growled, pressing a hand on her mouth to
silence her but she screamed only more, not only from the fact that her cover had slipped down -and
revealed her breasts to the brothers- but from the simple concept of Sesshomarou holding her mouth
shut like this.

"Kagome, Kagome calm down.." Inuyasha tried, hands raised to sooth the struggling woman but the
only thing he earned was a kick against his jaw from Kagome's right leg and a knee colliding with his
arm.

"Hold her legs down brother…" Sesshomarou commanded, holding Kagome tightly to his chest to
overwhelm her struggles. By now he was sitting on his knees behind her to keep both from falling out
of the large bed.

"Kagome stop it!" Inuyasha growled and got out of the way of Kagome's kicks easier this time,
grabbing each of her legs to make it impossible for her to move by sitting on them with his weight. But
she wasn't finished with both yet and managed to kick Inuyasha right where it hurt the most, biting
down on Sesshomarou's hand as hard as she could at the same time.

Of course the Youkai did not wail opposite to his loudly cursing brother, but held the fragile wonan
less powerful for long enough to giver the chance to use her elbow on him too. This time he did wail,
hit in the same way as it had been his half brother, eyes flashing dangerously red in the anger that
started to surface.

But Kagome saw her chance and jumped out of his arms, crawled across the pained Hanyou who was
half way blocking her way out and stumbled out of the bed, taking a sheet with her.

"No woman ever dared to treat me this way…" Shesshomarou growled out loudly, crawling past his
brother -who just had managed to overcome the worst pain- to punish the woman.

"Sit!" She answered his curses and he blinked only to find himself buried under his cursing brother a
second later. "SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT…" The female screamed as she went out of the
bedroom door and down the hall, neither caring for irritated servants she past nor for the green toad
who had tried to block her way. She simply jumped over him, not asking herself why she was able to
do so or why she was able to smell where she had to run to get out of the large house. The only thing
that mattered was the question how she would manage to get away from this confusing nightmare as
quickly as it was possible for her weak human bones.

It must have been several minutes that she spent running as if a pack of wolves was behind her;
blindly moving through the trees that were growing beyond the castle's walls, till her mind finally
caught up with her on the edge of a lake.

She stopped dead in her tracks as she saw herself there for the first time as it seemed; instead of the
black mess there were long white hair, pointy tips gracing her ears like fangs her teeth and one
vertical red stripe her brow.

"What the hell is going on here!" She called out into the forest, collapsing there into the grass whilst
watching herself in the mirroring surface of the water. She slowly leaned forward, the sheet forgotten
for the moment.

"What... happened… with me…?" She sobbed, tracing her new appearance in the water with clawed
fingers whilst hot tears came to her eyes to blind her once more. She almost looked like a demon, a
dog demon or whatever. But how?

Her eyes travelled across her new form to study all the things that had turned out wrong in her
nightmare; especially those two marks she carried on her shoulders. Pictures flashed through her
mind as she touched them, pictures of flesh moving against flesh and lips caressing her skin in a very
intimate way. This time she could see faces and hear voices matching the movements.

Golden eyes that sparkled with lust, claws that caused a sinful feeling on her sensitive and heated
skin, mouths that kissed her and fangs that teased her right the way she always had dreamed off. But
in her dreams it had been Inuyasha and not Shesshomarou that she would share her first time with.

She closed her eyes and inhaled deeply all the new smells around her; perhaps she would find
something that explained anything to her if she only concentrated enough on her memories. But there
was nothing, only more pictures that came back to her with even more obscene pictures with men; not
only the demon brothers but Miroku, Kouga even Bankotsu… I didn't help her that the last one
should have been dust in the wind since quite some time.

She wailed out and buried her head in her hands. "This all makes no sense…"

'Well, it does if you think about it hard enough…' It whispered and she looked up, her new demon senses
on alarm.

"Who's there?" She growled, flashing her new fangs at the invisible speaker.

'Me…' It called out and Kagome followed the voice leaning forward to find her picture in the water
smiling at her. 'Or rather you…' Kagome blinked.

"Me? You are me?" She babbled.

'Exactly that… and we really need to talk…' Her reflection explained but Kagome didn't really listen.
Instead she grabbed for her sheet and got on her feet, shaking her head in denial.

"I think I am going crazy… this is all a totally freaked out nightmare…" She cursed out and turned
away from the lake. "I should wake up any minute and all this never happened…" She added.

'Well, not exactly… this is no nightmare… you know that as well as I do. You are a demon now - thanks to me-
so stop pacing there and come back here so I can tell you what exactly happened to us...' The voice snapped
and Kagome stopped, she had not even taken notice of her own pacing.

"You are a hallucination… so why should I listen to you? Huh?" She growled back and the voice
sighed deeply, rolling golden eyes in annoyance.

'Because I can tell you why you woke up with the demon brothers…-or better- why you are demon now…' This
must have done it for Kagome because she stepped back over to the lake and sat down, slowly and
carefully arranging her sheet.

"I give you one chance..." The former human growled red sparkling in her now inhuman eyes. "And
you better have some good answers for me…"

The Picture in the lake smirked. 'Oh… believe me, it's not in my interest to lie to you… now that we are the
same…'
