Prologue

Summary: A spirit casts a spell on Inuyasha. Inuyasha takes on some interesting traits and has to do a task unknown to him. How will he do it? How do they lift the curse?

Inuyasha's time of the month had come again. He hated it more than anything! The hanyou-gone-human sat on the floor, leaning against the wall, gazing through the heavy darkness to where Kagome lay in her bed roll. Inuyasha sighed silently. He could barely make out her outline, let alone see her; it wasn't fair! Damn human senses! Her scent, due to the temporary weakness, couldn't even calm him! Inuyasha shifted his gaze to the window, err… hole in the wall, more like it. Looking at the empty sky, as the stars gleamed dazzlingly, he secretly willed the darkness to fade and let the sun rise just so he could catch her tantalizing aroma again. With another noiseless sigh, the human-hanyou looked back at Kagome. His eyes soon settled for a glare on the kit curled up at her side as he shifted in his sleep. If only he could growl…! He shook his head and let his gaze fall on the girl again.

Inuyasha didn't even realize he was getting drowsy. He didn't notice the unnatural wind shift around him. The hanyou-gone-human didn't feel his eyelids drift closed. The human hanyou didn't hear the words being whispered to him. The hanyou-human didn't realize he'd made a big mistake.

The miko spirit glided unseen with the wind. It drifted into Kaede's small house, unheard. The wind halted in front of Inuyasha and the spirit took shape. A gorgeous young woman, in a chaste white kimono that shined a pale blue, formed. Her mouth spread in a soft smile at the site of the sleeping human, err, human-once-hanyou, "Inuyasha," she whispered fondly. "Ni mottomo daiji nisareruanatano ai wo kokuhaku surumade , hanbun no oni niyotte kae rareta ningen todomaru," she chanted, arms extended to the hanyou-human. A faint blue light emitted from Inuyasha causing the room to glow along with him. It faded quickly and the spirit smiled again. She crouched near the sleeping boy. "Do me well, my son; Inuyasha, do me well," she spoke softly, lovingly stroking Inuyasha's cheek.

Kagome awoke with a start and the spirit instantly faded into the air. Shippou, who had been sleeping on her stomach, toppled over as she jolted up. Thankfully, though, he didn't wake. Kagome whirled to Inuyasha. Nothing had happened, right? The room looked normal enough; no glowing anywhere… There was no spirit. Was that Inuyasha's mother? She said… could it be? She couldn't tell Inuyasha, though; he'd be upset. With another scan of the room, she decided that nothing had happened. Sighing with relief, Kagome calmed her heavy breathing and wiped her brow. She leaned back in her bed roll. Shippou lay at her side again; he'd somehow managed to claw his way back up, from her feet, in his sleep. Kagome smiled softly. Stroking the kit's tail, she drifted off to sleep again, something nagging just at the edge of her consciousness.

Well, this is short but it's only the prologue and yeah…

Btw, I know I'm going to get questions about this… Ni mottomo daiji nisareruanatano ai wo kokuhaku surumade , hanbun no oni niyotte kae rareta ningen todomaru… it roughly translated to Here you will stay, a half demon changed human, until you confess your love to the most cherished…

PLEASE REVIEW!
