A/N: Hello people! I drew the dragon in the cover pic. That is Kagome in dragon form. I also gimped a pic of Kagome out and gave her gold hair and eyes! How is it?

WARNING: I have taken the idea of Disney's Tangled and the magical golden flower to make my story flow the way I want it to. You'll understand later. Just so you know, I don't own the magical golden flower or the idea of it. I do however, own the idea of using it in this storyline for what I have planned. I also don't own The Hobbit, or Inuyasha.

I have no beta.

Enjoy!

Kagome stared at the beautiful flower that seemed to glow. A lovely golden color that radiated warmth from the deepest recesses. It reminded her of a Tiger Lily, but had a few extra things attached. The stamen were extra long and sparkled, making her think of pixie dust. The petals were long and curled on the ends. Beautiful.

Kagome really liked the flower. It smelled wonderful and she could hear something. Something telling her to pick it and make tea with it. She was a bit skeptical, because it could've been poisonous for all she knew. Beauty like that didn't come without a price, or so she believed.

However, the voice seemed to win out and she shrugged. If it was anything bad, she'd just purify it from her system.

She paused and reached into her pack, pulling out her disposable camera. She snapped a few pictures of the flower, to always remember the moment and then went through the process of digging it up, building a fire and getting the necessary tools out.

The miko from the future set to work, cutting and crushing her collection of herbs together. She then added the flower to the mix, while waiting for the water to boil in a kettle she carried in her pack. Then, she placed the water and the herbs inside her small infuser her mother had bought for her recently. It came with a cup and all she had to do, was place the infuser over the cop, press the release button and the tea would strain into the cup, leaving the leaves inside the infuser. She let the water and herbs steep for ten minutes, before finally getting ready to sample the drink.

A brief sip, to test how much sugar she'd need, and she was lost. No sweetener needed at all. It was perfect!

She downed the tea in an instant and strained the remaining liquid into her cup. She finished it off and pouted. No more water left and the herbs were pretty much dead and void of color.

Though she was glad that he health seemed to be fine, she really hoped that the flower wasn't anything bad.

Actually, she had found it in a secluded spot that didn't seem to ever have any visitors. The grass was perfectly grown and the vegetation wasn't bothered at all. She had just stumbled upon the place and now realized that the flower was probably important in some way. She hoped it wasn't something coveted by a Kami or anything like that. But she had been so drawn to it, and couldn't really find it in her heart to feel all that bad about using it for tea.

It wasn't guarded, or hidden or booby trapped and this was free land she was currently standing on. So, the flower was free.

With that thought in mind, Kagome walked passed the place she found the flower and continued on her way, hoping her friends would find her soon.

She got separated from the group, found a pretty flower, made tea with it, drank it and went on her way. For some reason, she wasn't all that worried. Naraku had met his end not to long ago and she could take on anyone. She no longer needed Inuyasha there to protect her all the time. She was finally pulling her weight and it felt good. So, she wasn't freaking out about returning to her friends, for fear of danger. She was however, worried for Shippo and she just missed them all. That was it.

Her feet led her through the forest, and she came upon someone she never thought she'd meet whilst alone.

A-Un.

Sesshomaru's two-headed dragon. They were sitting on the ground, beside a large tree, heads alert as if awaiting something.

When she walked up, A, the head on the right, made a noise. Un shook his head a bit, as if emptying water from his ears.

Kagome approached them and began petting their heads and long necks.

She was immediately drawn in as the two heads pulled her closer by winding around her body. She giggled and stroked their dark hair.

"Are you guys waiting for someone?" she asked softly, scratching behind the ears, earning a grumble like purr in return.

A moved his head to the right while Un nodded.

"Rin?" she guessed.

The heads moved up and down swiftly, before returning to her hands.

She laughed lightly, continuing her ministrations.

All of a sudden, her head felt light. Too light. Then the sky seemed to change colors and her body swayed.

"Uh-oh," she mumbled, tumbling to the ground in a heap.

"Kagome-sama! Kagome-sama!"

Kagome stirred and opened her eye, only to shut them at the burst of light that nearly blinded her.

She rolled over and tried it again, this time, her eyes focusing on the grass beneath her and bronze body only inches away. What had happened?

"Kagome-sama are you okay now?" a voice called out in worry.

She turned slightly, eyes fixing on a small little brunette in a lovely lavender kimono, decorated with yellow butterflies. Rin, her mind supplied.

She pushed herself up and sat cross-legged. Why had she been on the ground?

Rin sat right in front of her and began to speak.

"I came back and saw you laying on the ground and A-Un was hovering over you. He seemed worried. And then all these things started to happen! Your hair was growing! And then it changed color! And I can see that your eyes changed as well! What happened?!" the energetic girl rambled, finishing with wide eyes and a question that Kagome didn't understand.

The miko looked over, to see her pack beside A-Un. She leaned over to grab it, when something bright caught her attention. She turned, to see the ground surrounding them, was covered in what looked to be gold thread.

She twisted around more, and a lock of her hair fell over her shoulder. She looked at the piece of hair for a moment and then at the 'thread' and gave a long silent scream.

Though no sound came from her mouth, she was out of breath by the end of it and had to shake herself from the shock. She pulled the rest of her hair over her shoulder and kept pulling. The 'thread' began to move as well, and that was when the miko finally realized that her hair had turned golden blonde and grew what looked to be several meters.

Rin was glowing. Her smile was so wide, Kagome swore she could see all of the girls teeth.

Kagome dropped the hair and let out a deep breath, relaxing herself. There had to be an answer. There was an answer to everything, or so she believed.

"Your eyes are the same color as your hair!" Rin pointed out with a smile.

Curious. What could have caused such a drastic change?

The sun glinted off the golden hair, reminding her of the flower she had mashed into tea early that morning. The flower. The sparkly golden flower.

Well shit.

There was something different about the flower and this must have been it. It changed her appearance.

She turned her head once more, to look at the piles of gold. A big change in appearance.

Something touched her ear and she jerked, for two reasons. One, she hadn't expected the contact, and two, the feeling made her notice that her ear was longer than it should've been.

"Your ears look just like Sesshomaru-sama's!"

Kagome raised her hands to feel her hearing appendages and her jaw dropped when she realized that they were pointed. She scrambled over to her pack and began to rifle through it, pulling everything out in her haste. She clutched the handle of her mirror and gaped.

Truly her eyes were golden, but there were small black slits in the center, reminding her of a cats eyes. Or A-Un's even. She looked back at her new hair and sighed. Should she cut it?

"Please don't cut it Kagome-sama?! I can braid it for you, but please don't cut it," Rin pleaded, her eyes shining with unshed tears.

Kagome could smell salt in the air and immediately put two and two together. She could smell Rin's tears.

Something was up.

Her ears were pointed to an elvish like tip. She had grown some sharp looking fangs and claws and she felt healthier.

What was going on?

A-Un made a strange noise. Both shuffling closer to her. A bumped noses with her and Un nodded before bumping his head against his brothers. Kagome frowned, "Are you trying to tell me something?"

They nodded and repeated the motions.

Rin gasped, "They are saying that you and them are the same now!"

Kagome looked at the girl in wonder. How could she understand them? Was she like some sort of dragon whisperer?

The head were nodding quickly now and Kagome quirked an eyebrow at them.

"Are you saying I'm a Youkai now?"

Nod.

"The same as you?"

Nod.

"A dragon?"

Another nod.

Kagome placed the mirror back in her bag and fell backward. A sparkly golden flower changed her hair, eyes, nails, teeth and species. But why a dragon?

The first Youkai contact you had was with a dragon.

A mysterious voice supplied and Kagome nodded in understanding.

She then froze. Where had the voice come from?

I am your inner Youkai. The complete gathering of all of your baser instincts and true feelings, the voice answered her thought.

Inner Youkai? It's normal to have a voice in my head talking to me?

Correct. I am you, just the primal less inclined to follow the rules, side of you. We share intelligence yes, but I prefer to just enjoy myself. Consequences aren't something for me to worry about. That's your job, seeing as you're the predominant one in our relationship.

Kagome nearly whistled, but kept it in. No need to raise Rin's curiosity even further.

So I really am a Youkai now? Was it the flower?

Yes. That flower was magical. It was created from a small drop of sunlight that had fallen to the earth. The magic inside, was transferred into us when you decided to drink it in tea. Our hair and eyes are like sunshine and our true form will most likely be golden as well. As for the Youkai part, I believe that the magic you now possess, plus your Reiki and the Youki from A-Un caused you to match our spirit and aura with theirs. Our body absorbed the power they gave off and changed to match their specific species. I am glad we are Youkai now. I've always been here, but you could never hear me. With the Youkai added, I came closer and you were able to finally respond to me. So, I will be here to help you and influence you throughout the next few millennia.

Kagome nodded absent-mindedly. She was dragon Youkai, with an inner that wanted to influence her decisions. All of this crazy stuff had happened, because she drank golden flower tea. Great.

"What the hell did you do Kagome?!"

Said miko, who was sporting a much easier hairdo where Rin had spent an hour brushing it and another braiding it intricately, looked at her Hanyou friend in annoyance.

"I saw a pretty flower and I made tea out of it. This happened not long after and I ran into A-Un and Rin."

She then stormed past him and into Kaede's hut.

The old miko's eyes widened. "What has happened Kagome?"

Why couldn't Inuyasha say it like that?!

Because he's a male.

That actually explains a lot.

"I found a really pretty flower when I got separated from the group and I ended up making myself tea with it. Then this happened and now I'm a dragon Youkai. My inner Youkai says that it's because A-Un was the first Youkai I came across and I absorbed his Youki or something like that. I look like this because of the flower. It was golden and according to my Youkai, it was made from a single drop of sunshine that fell to the earth. Now I have some form of magic flowing through my veins as well as Youki and Reiki. Can my life get any more complicated?!"

She plopped down on the floor, mindful of her braid and looked at the older miko.

"Everything happens for a reason child. Though a magical golden flower is a bit strange, it isn't all that odd considering the type of world we live in."

The miko nodded reluctantly. "So, how am I going to learn about myself? I now have magic that I need to learn how to use. Plus whatever abilities I gained by transforming into a dragon Youkai and I still need to finish my miko training."

I'll help you. I know everything about us.

"Nevermind. My inner Youkai seems to know everything," the now blonde huffed.

Kaede smiled as she stirred the contents in the large pot. "Ye will do fine child. Worry not."

Kagome sighed and listened to the sounds around them. The wind through the trees, the crackle of the fire, Inuyasha grumbling to himself outside.

Rin's voice came drifting back to her.

"Sesshomaru-sama! Kagome-sama has changed! She's a dragon Youkai now!"

There was silence following her gleeful statement. Well, until Inuyasha broke it that is.

"Stupid girl got herself into trouble again," her Hanyou 'friend' mumbled.

She was on her feet in an instant. and out the doorway the next.

Kagome ignored everyone else, her eyes only on the red clad Hanyou. Said Hanyou shrunk away from her piercing glare, ears flattening against his head in fear.

"I didn't get myself into trouble you annoying brat! You're the one who misfired your attack and sent everyone flying. If it wasn't for you, I would've never come across that flower and made tea out of it!"

You tell him! That baka.

And he gets angry with me when really the whole situation is his fault!

Inuyasha glared at her, and deep growl emitting from his throat.

"You should have enough brains to ignore fancy looking flowers!" he replied with a growl.

She bristled, "You act like something horrible has happened to me! How about instead of calling me stupid, you ask me how I'm feeling? How about you bother to see how I'm taking this abrupt change in my life? How about you pull your enormous head out of your own rectum and realize that I'm more shocked about this than you? And how about you learn how to handle a situation better? Something happens that you can't explain and you're immediately you're all, 'idiot got herself into trouble'. You're lucky I don't S. I. T. you right now!"

She looked closer to breathing fire in that moment. And with her new changes, it wouldn't be surprising.

"Don't blame me because you were being stupid!" the Hanyou snarled, getting in her face.

"I didn't misfire when the enemy was only a few feet in front of me! I can't stand you sometimes! I'm not Kikyo Inuyasha! In your eyes, she may have been perfect and had no faults, but to the rest of us, she was still a human! That's what I grew up as! Nobody is perfect, even Sesshomaru isn't. So while you think she was better than me, and you judge my decisions based on what she would have done in the situation, remember this, I'M NOT KIKYO! I AM KAGOME! KA-GO-ME! I DO THINGS MY WAY AND I AM SICK AND TIRED OF BEING COMPARED TO A SPITEFUL DEAD BITCH WHO LOST HER PURITY AGES AGO! SO STOP JUDGING ME INUYASHA, BECAUSE YOU ARE NO BETTER THAN ME AND I WILL NOT HAVE A BRAT LIKE YOU MAKING ASSUMPTIONS WHEN HE CLEARLY DOESN'T KNOW THE FACTS!"

The red clad Hanyou leaned away from her in shock. "I don't judge you!" he said indignantly. He looked to his friends for confirmation, but the shook their head.

"You do," Miroku stated accusingly. "All the time."

Sango nodded sagely, "I'm surprised she hasn't run away from you by now. Or sat you to the ground. It just proves that she's more mature. Another thing that proves she's mature, is that she got over you a long time ago and is no longer interested. I knew that if she placed her hopes on you, she'd be crushed and she did the smart thing and just went on with her life."

Inuyasha sputtered in anger. No one was taking his side. His brother even seemed to think the whole situation amusing. The prick!

And then how dare Sango say that Kagome no longer cared for him! She would always care for him! She promised to stay by his side after all.

Shippo hopped onto Kagome's shoulder, "You're mean, rude and insensitive to her. So of course she'd lose interest. Besides, when you keep comparing her to Kikyo. At least Koga doesn't compare her to his past relationships."

The Hanyou was seething and he turned and ran off, leaving the company to blissful silence.

Kagome rolled her eyes and moved back toward the hut. "This day was enough and now to add his whining and bitching to it just makes it horrible," she muttered to herself. "He is ridiculous."

A/N: So, this is the idea I got. Will you all please let me know what you think? I'm truly curious to see your opinions and questions. If this is received well, I'll update soon. I already have the outline for the next chapter done, so let me know please!

Ja ne! :D
