A/N: I do not own Inuyasha. So don't sue me. And this story is not for Kikyo lovers.
Chapter 1: The Bite ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She found herself crying again, crying over Inuyasha. Crying because she couldn't have the love she wanted from him. Crying because Kikyo always showed up ruining even the most happiest moments. Kagome found herself hating Kikyo. In the three years since she started travelling from her time to the Feudal Era, she had become a warrior. She trained with Sango in weaponry, hand to hand combat, poisons and how to counteract them. Her hair was now at her knees, she had put red streaks into her hair a couple months ago.
Kagome didn't see how she and Kikyo had looked alike. She had wavy midnight black blue hair, Kikyo had bone straight pitch black hair. Kagome was tanned from all the sun, Kikyo was pale sickeningly pale. Kagome was well-toned from training and travelling, Kikyo looked like a stick. Kagome had sapphire blue eyes that had silver specks, Kikyo's were a frozen chocolate brown. She supposed that they had similarities but that was no reason to compare them to each other.
Kagome found herself angry that Inuyasha couldn't see past that. Kagome was sick and tired of Inuyasha's bullshit as well as his daily insults and comparisons between her and Kikyo. When was he going to get it? Staring off into the distance, she wondered if she should head back to the Kaede's village. Kagome was now a skilled trained miko, more powerful then Midiriko when she was alive. Which had shocked everyone, though Inuyasha was never around when she trained so he didn't know about her powers being stronger then when she first arrived in the Feudal Era. She was like a female Sesshomaru when it came to the sword.
Kagome also got faster, her speed matched that of a demons now. She hated how Inuyasha would say Kikyo was the more powerful miko. That was a laugh, when she could in fact just kill Kikyo all over again sending her back to being dead where she should have been. If it wasn't for that witch stealing her soul, Kikyo wouldn't be walking among the living now.
Gods she hated Kikyo so much, she hated how she thought she was the better miko. How she continuously called her, her reincarnation. It pissed her off how Kikyo couldn't even call her by her name. How she'd love to run a sword through Kikyo's throat. While she was deep in her thoughts she didn't notice the black inu walking towards her. Until it was too late. She then felt pain in her arm, she screamed so loud she was surprised it didn't start an earthquake.
Pulling the black inu from her arm harshly which caused the inu's fangs to rip her arm open. Causing her to scream again, she threw the inu away from her. Looking down at her arm, she saw the nasty deep wound.
'What am I going to do now? I so wasn't looking forward to getting wounded. I guess it's off to Kaede's village.' Kagome thought as she pushed herself off the ground.
Again Kagome was surprised, she had screamed and yet Inuyasha or the others hadn't come running. What was the world coming too? Sighing, she started to walk towards Kaede's village. Arriving at the village, Sango and Miroku were sitting in front of the fire, Inuyasha was nowhere to be seen, Shippo was playing with the children in the village...how did they not hear her scream?
"What the hell are you guys doing?" Kagome asked or well more like snapped coldly. She was angry that none of them came to see if she was okay. They just pretended that they didn't hear her scream.
Sango looked at Kagome and raised an eyebrow, "what are you talking about Kagome?" Sango asked.
That just there, had proved that her friends honestly didn't care. They would have immediently noticed the deep gushing wound on her arm. But they didn't, instead they looked at her like she was another Inuyasha having a tantrum about something.
"Why didn't you guys come the moment I screamed?" Kagome hissed, it was like they were stupid or something.
"You screamed? We didn't hear a thing Kagome. Oh my god! What happened to your arm?!" Sango said, then took notice of Kagome's bleeding arm.
"How could you not hear me scream? Anyways I need to get this wound bandaged up before I bleed to death," Kagome said as she walked into Kaede's hut where her backpack was. She pulled out her first aid kit. She grabbed some bandages, and peroxcide. Pouring the peroxcide on her wound, she hissed in pain for a moment then tightly bandaged her arm.
The moment Kagome had finished bandaging her arm, Inuyasha walked into the hut. Kagome looked at him with a bored look on her face. She didn't want to know where he was. She looked away not wanting to look at him any longer.
"Are you hurt? What happened?" Inuyasha asked, he had noticed that her arm was bandaged. He had heard Kagome scream, but he didn't know why. He had run in her direction, it looked like he hadn't made it in time.
"A black inu bit me." Was Kagome's only response. She didn't feel the need to explain more to him.
Inuyasha raised his eyebrow, "why do you smell like you've been crying? Kagome what's wrong?" Inuyasha asked.
Kagome sighed, now he had to ask? How stupid could he get? It wasn't rocket science...he was the reason she was crying. He was always the reason she ended up crying. Most of the time she'd run home. But there was no reason too. She didn't need to worry her mother over a trivial wound; she didn't need to give people a reason to believe her weak.
"Nothing is wrong. And I don't believe that it's any of your business." Kagome said coldly, putting her first aid kit back into her bag.
"It is my fucking business Kagome. It's my job to look after the group. Just tell me what's wrong," Inuyasha snapped.
"You want to know why I was crying? Maybe you'd know more if you didn't run off every time Kikyo came around." Kagome snapped back, narrowing her eyes in anger. She was pissed the hell off, who did he think he was?
Inuyasha frowned, growling low in his throat, "do not put Kikyo into everything. She has nothing to do with your problems Kagome!" Inuyasha growled out, now he was pissed. What was Kagome's problem? Why did she hate Kikyo so much? What had Kikyo done to her that made her so bitter?
"She has everything to do with my problems, Inuyasha! She's the reason I cry, she's the reason my happiest moments are always ruined, she's the reason I find myself hating it when she comes around!" Kagome yelled, she was tired of him always sticking up for Kikyo.
"Why do you hate her so much Kagome!? She has done nothing to you!" Inuyasha yelled back.
"Has done nothing? Inuyasha you don't know anything do you? She has tried to kill me, she has attempted to take everything from me. I will not allow that to happen. The next time I see her I'll kill her." Kagome snarled, she hated Kikyo. Why were they even talking about her?
"Stay away from her Kagome! Kikyo isn't like that. She wouldn't kill an innocent!" Inuyasha argued, he wanted to believe that Kagome was wrong where Kikyo was concerned. He knew that Kikyo worked along side Naraku, he knew that she was seeing the vile spider hanyou; because she smelled of Naraku every time. He knew that she had killed people, but he didn't want to believe it.
"Don't deny it Inuyasha. You know she's betraying you by seeing Naraku. You know that she's killed innocents as well as the bad. You know that she has tried to kill me!" Kagome yelled, she couldn't take it anymore.
"I'm sleeping outside!" Kagome snapped before she stormed outside. She walked back to the goshinboku, climbed the ancient tree and sat in it's highest branches. When she had left she didn't see the saddened look on Inuyasha's face. Or the look of realization at what she had just said. She didn't see the look of love that he had for her on his face either.
During the night, while she was sleeping her body started changing. Her hair grew to her ankles, her cheeks obtained two light purple stripes as did her wrists, waist, thighs and ankles. She grew a tail that matched her hair, even though her eyes were closed gold specks appeared in her irisies. Her ears pointed elven, she grew claws and fangs. In the middle of her forehead, appeared a crescent moon with two five pointed stars on the tips and a purple teardrop in the middle a symbol that she was a miko.
Kagome Higurashi was no longer human but a black inu demoness. Though the wound on her arm was bandaged, it had healed during her transformation.
