Author's note: This is my first attempt at an Inu-yasha fanfic. Pardon any suckage.

Disclaimer: I do not own any RECOGNIZABLE characters of Inu-yasha. Mirosha and some of the later demons are mine. Please do not sue, I am poor and it will just be a waste of all of our times.

The Story:

Kagome drew her bow, her final arrow aimed at Naraku's heart. She released, and missed.

"You think you can defeat me? You, a mere mortal? How dare you?" Naraku's face contorted in anger. Reaching behind him, he picked up Kagome's spiritual arrow. "This is what I think of your power! Nothing!" He pricked his finger with the arrow. Nothing happened. "Now, die!" Pulling back his arm, Naraku threw the arrow at Kagome, and it hit true.

"No!" Inu-yasha cried, pulling himself from the ground with increased ferocity. He watched in horror as Kagome fell, blood pooling on her white school uniform.

'So this is how it ends?' She thought. 'At the hand of a demon?' She fell, unconscious, as Inu-yasha struck with the Tetsusaiga, killing Naraku forever.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Mirosha attacked, her black hair falling limply at her sides, and dog ears burning with Kagaru's wind shrieks. "You will die! I will avenge my sister!" Kagura had murdered her sister, who was entirely human, in mistake for Mirosha. Kagura's arm was raised, poised to attack, and before Mirosha could deal out a steel claw, The bamboo fan came down, blades of air flying from it. Mirosha colapsed, bleeding profusely. Before she died, she saw Kagura sink to the ground, in a melted puddle of evil essence.

"Ha. You didn't get me in the end, now did you?" And with that, Mirosha lost consciousness.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Kagome awoke, a feeling of Demonic power hovering about her. She sat up quickly, and instantly regretted it.

'What the...?' Kagome felt her chest– no arrow wound, just systematic slices in her breasts and stomach. Reaching upwards, she rubbed at her head. 'Oh my god...'

Where Kagome used to have thick, black hair rested a tangled mess. And ears. Her old ears had vanished, all that remained was odd, tufted dog ears. Looking down she saw she wore no shoes, but dark, canine talons sprouted from her fingers and toes. She felt at her teeth. No longer smooth, they were sharp and pointed.

'I've turned into a demon!' Kagome was horrified. Although the pain was dull, and she could feel herself mending much quicker than normal, she would rather be dead. "Inu-yasha? Inu-yasha!" Kagome called out frantically, she needed someone to comfort her metamorphosis. More startling than her new appearances, was the realization that Kagome was totally alone.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Mirosha was awakened by a searing pain in her chest. "What the hell...?" She was topless, and a large bandage was bound tightly about her chest. Miroshu was weak. Very weak. Her aura had completely dissipated, and she felt almost human.

"Oh, thank gods you're alive!" A small fox-demon praised. "I'll go get Inu-Yasha. You have no idea how worried he was. It's almost as if he loved you!" The fox laughed, showing small, pointy teeth.

"But..." Mirosha fell back on the stack of rags behind her head, pulling a red shirt tighter up around her. 'Where am I?' Before she could correctly organize her thoughts (she could only think she should be dead) a handsome half-demon walked in to the clearing, the fox on his shoulder.

"Kogome," he started. "Are you okay? Naraku is dead. You shouldn't have interfered! You nearly got yourself killed!" The demon spouted all of this off in a very worried and quick manor, but at the same time seemed angry. "After all, you are only a mortal."

"What!?" Mirosha had never been so insulted in her life. "I am one of the most powerful half-demons in all of feudal Japan! How dare you insult me so!? I'll tear you to shreds with my bare claws!" She started forward, right at the surprised form of the dog-demon and fox. She planned to kill them, even if it took the rest of her strength. She stumbled, and fell, directly into the arms of the cursed puppy. And then she realized.

Her sense of smell was immeasurably weakened somehow, and her hearing was much less acute. Mirosha looked at her hands– her nails were perfectly manicured. Inadvertently she gasped. "What... did you do to me?" She felt the hot tears gather in her eyes, and reached up to her head. Her hair was soft and sleek, but her beautiful ears– the soft gray ones that poked up irregularly from her black hair– were gone. In there stead was a pair of ordinary, useless human ones. "You destroyed me! You monster!" Mirosha turned and tried to flee, but tripped and fell. Everything went black.

Author's note: I have recently become obsessed with Inu-yasha thank to a few friends of mine, and had a lovely idea on a soul-switching story in the bath the other day. So here it is. My first attempt at an Inu-yasha fanfic. Just click that little gray button at the bottom of the screen and tell me if I should continue or give up writing forever. Thanks a load, and sorry this chapter was so short. Bye!
