Chapter 1 - Hiding

Kagome could feel her body changing. She knew it probably had something to do with that time she had tried to save Inuyasha and got sprayed with his blood while her mouth was wide opened. It was bad enough that he got himself hurt but her mouth was open, yuck. She had tried to hide it from the others but then the changes started to speed up. When they were inside of her body, she was the only one who noticed. The usual, increased hearing, increased eye sight, and smell. Man, she stuck so close to Inuyasha for that first week. All the different aromas kept giving her a headache. Inuyasha's scent made the others just go away. Fortunately for her, he didn't notice or deigned not to say anything. Kagome could also walk longer and didn't get as cold as she usually did. But now someone had wised up about the changes. Yesterday that same someone started to look at her kind of strangely. He even asked her if she had done something new with her hair. This surprised her so much that she just didn't know what to say to Inuyasha, so she said nothing. The group was setting up camp for the night so Kagome figured that she would tell everybody the following morning what had been happening to her. After a good night sleep, she figured that she would have enough courage to face the firing squad.

"KAGOME!"

Kagome flattened her ears to her head to keep the ringing out as someone screamed her name.

'Whoa. I can flatten my ears?'

She was a little discombobulated when she noticed that she could do that little trick.

'When the hell did I start doing that?'

Kagome slowly opened her eyes and looked around. Everybody was hovering over her and from the expressions on their faces things were not looking good. The expressions ranged from a mixture of horrified, elated, and mesmerized. The last one ended quickly when a low growl started to come from the vicinity were Inuyasha was. She swept her graze from Sango to Miroku and then to Shippo. The last face she came to was Inuyasha. He looked a little surprised and unsure. Out of all of them Kagome needed him to be the rock and it did not look like she was gonna get her wish.

"What are you guys looking at?'

Even though, in a part of her mind, she knew that that was a stupid question. Her big secret was out.

The first one to speak was Miroku as she stood up, ever the calm and collected one.

"Well... we were just wondering if you knew that you had dog ears like Inuyasha? Also..."

Kagome wished he would just spit it out already.

"...your eyes are an extremely vibrant violet."

She ducked her head, as she felt a blush still into her cheeks.

"Knock it off bouzo." Sango said.

"WHAT... DID...YOU...DO?"

This came from Inuyasha. His amber eyes were livid with anger and something else that Kagome couldn't put her finger on at that moment.

'I can't bear to be the center of all this unwanted attention or his anger.'

With that thought in the front of her mind. Kagome ran. She didn't start out at a jog. She ran full out, nose to the wind, heart pounding a mile a minute. She was just hoping that she could make it to the well and home before Inuyasha came out of the shock her sudden departure had caused and gave chase.
