Chapter 1: The Wish
Why does that baka InuYasha hate me so much?' Kagome thought as she sighed, sinking lower into the hot spring. They just got back from a battle with a butterfly youkai. The youkai had four shards, two in each of its wings. Kagome couldn't shoot her arrow because it was too fast. After InuYasha destroyed the youkai, and Kagome collected the shards, InuYasha rained his frustration down on her.
Flashback
"Why didn't you do anything?" InuYasha demanded. You could tell he was pissed. "If you had helped, the stupid youkai wouldn't have taken so long to finish off."
"I couldn't shoot it InuYasha. It was too fast." Kagome stated. She was beginning to feel the tears form in her eyes. She would have tried to shoot it with her purifying arrows, but she was afraid she'd hit InuYasha.
"Yeah, well, Kikyou could have done it. So could any other miko. I wish you were stronger so I wouldn't have to protect you all the time."
Kagome was ready to bawl. So that's how he really felt?
"Sit! Sit! Sit! Sit!" she screamed. Then she turned and fled back to Kaede's village.
Past
I can't believe InuYasha really thinks that way about me.' Kagome thought. She was crying now.
"I wish I was a demon like Shippou. After all, he's the only good demon I know." Kagome sighed.
"Your wish is my command." A mysterious voice boomed. Suddenly, Kagome was taken away from her musings by pain. It felt like she was being torn apart. Kagome fainted…
Kagome awoke in Kaede's hut with a pounding headache. How did I get here?' she wondered. The last I remembered, I was in the hot spring. Then I draw a blank.'
Shippou bounded into the hut, careening towards her. "Kagome. Kagome. Now you can be my real momma." He squealed in his adorable high-pitched voice.
Kagome winced. Why was he talking so loud?
"Uh, Shippou, honey, could you talk a little lower? You're hurting my ears," she told him.
"Oh, sorry Kagome. Now that you're a kitsune, of course you'll have better hearing. I forgot." Shippou whispered.
"What are you talking about Shippou? You know I'm human." Kagome replied, starting to get nervous.
Shippou sighed and went to her back pack. He took out a small mirror and held it up for her. Kagome gasped.
"This, this can't be real. There's no way this is happening." She said, looking at herself in the mirror.
Kagome had piercing green eyes with yellow slits. Her hair had grown and now reached the floor. Her hair also changed from a midnight black to auburn with blonde highlights. Two fuzzy ears sat atop her head, twitching. They were also auburn, but the tips were blonde. Kagome opened her mouth. She had two pointy canine teeth. On her face, she had markings. There were two pink stripes on each of her cheeks. On her forehead, there was a marking that resembled the Shikon no Tama. On her fingers, there were deadly claws. When Kagome stood up, she realized two things. One, she grew and was now about 5'8". Two, she had a gorgeous auburn and blonde tail.
Kagome was about to open her mouth and ask Shippou what happened when InuYasha burst through the door. He was about to scream at her for being weak, but all he could do was gape.
"What the hell happened Kagome?" InuYasha demanded. Her scent was driving him insane. It was still the cherry blossom scent that he remembered, but it was intensified ten fold. If he thought Kagome attractive before, she was gorgeous now. InuYasha would be damned if he'd show it, though.
"I don't know InuYasha." Kagome softly replied. "The last I remember I was in the hot springs. Then, I felt a searing pain and blacked out."
"Sango got worried and went to the hot springs to look for you. She found you unconscious on the shore. They wouldn't let me see you until now. You're a kitsune Kagome. Something must have happened." InuYasha shouted, frustrated.
Kagome remembered her wish, but was too shamed to tell him of it. He would just compare her to Kikyou again. She didn't know how this could possibly tie into her past incarnation, but she was willing to bet InuYasha could find something.
When Kagome remained silent in thought, InuYasha started to get angry. Why isn't that baka of a ningen answering me. Wait, she's not a ningen anymore. Damn. Well, at least she'll be able to fight now. Oh no, can she still sense shards?' InuYasha was continuously babbling in his head. Not a very good sign of sanity if you ask me.
In the Mountains
Kouga and his men had just got back from raiding a village. Kouga decided it was time for him to visit his woman, Kagome. He took off with stolen speed from the Shikon no Kakera. He would be at Kaede's village in a few minutes.
I smell Kagome near, but something is off about her scent. It's not bad, just different.' Kouga thought as he arrived at the quaint village.
His keen nose led him to Kaede's hut, where he saw the old miko, the monk, and the demon exterminator. Kaede was mixing herbs, Miroku seemed to be deep in thought, and Sango was polishing her boomerang with a kitten Kirara snuggling her.
Huh, Kagome, dog turd, and the kit are inside the hut,' Kouga thought.
"Hello, I am here to see my woman," Kouga declared.
Inside the Hut
"InuYasha, I wished for this," Kagome declared softly. You could see she was ashamed. "I was upset about what you had said earlier and carelessly made a wish to be like Shippou."
Shippou was so happy his mother wanted to be like him. He hurled himself at her and snuggled into her warm embrace.
"Thank you Kagome. Now you can be my real momma. Is it alright if I call you that?" Shippou softly questioned, mindful of her enhanced hearing.
InuYasha was ready to open his mouth and give Shippou a verbal bashing for mucking up Kagome's scent, when Kouga burst through the hut door. Kagome rolled her eyes; everyone was doing that these days.
"Hello Kouga, how are you doing?" Kagome questioned.
She knew a fight would break out between the two youkai, but she wasn't in the mood for it right now. Well, she was never in the mood to watch her two friends fight.
"Ka-Kagome. What happened?" Kouga's eyes were like saucers as he took in her gorgeous appearance.
