Kagome huffed as she walked out into the forest alone. Inuyasha had just gone to Kikyo over her and she was extremely mad. She was headed to the well to head home. She tugged on the kimono that she had decided to wear while her clothes were being cleaned at home.

Thunder crashed across the sky. Rain started to pelt the ground as the storm hit in full force.

Kagome jumped. Her whole body was soaked in minutes. She kept walking and she accidentally walked past the well. She realized that she had passed it but it was storming too bad to turn around now.

Lightning flashed as she noticed a cave ahead of her. She ran towards it. As soon as she entered the cave, she got a strange feeling.

It felt evil, like Naraku.

Kagome involuntarily shivered. She looked around and saw that there was a light at the back of the cave. She walked towards it, hoping that someone had made a fire back there.

She was wrong.

It was a shrine. Two candles were lit on either side of a wall hanging. The wall hanging depicted a girl with a kind face. Her arms were above her, restrained by an unknown force. Tears were streaming down the girl's face.

Kagome unconsciously reached forward and touched the wall hanging. She felt something strange. "I guess I should pay tribute." she said.

She knelt in front of the shrine and put her hands together. She bowed her head just as a laugh filled the cave.

"Your aura is soooooooooo tastsssssy. Just let me have sooommmeee of it." A small demon that looked like the girl came out of the wall hanging.

Kagome gasped and backed away.

The girl demon cocked her head. "Wwwwhhhhaaaaattt'ssssss the matttter?" she asked.

"St-stay away f-from m-me." Kagome stammered out.

"Oh, arrre yyyou gggoooiiinnggg tttoo ruuuunnnn? I llloooovvveee a goooood chhhasssseee." she hissed out.

Kagome bolted out of the cave and into the rain. She ran until she came to the edge of a cliff.

"Ddddoooonnnnee ssssssoooo ssssssoooonnnneeeeeee?" the girl asked. "Toooooo baaaad."

Kagome gasped. "What are you going to do with me?" she asked.

The girl evilly smiled. "Hhheeerrree'sss aaannn iiidddeeaa. Ii'lllllll tuuuurrrnn yoouuu intttoo a………demon." the girl raised her arms and gathered energy.

Kagome gasped and tried to move but her legs were frozen to the spots. She screamed as it hit her.

Just then, the cliff gave way.

Kagome screamed as she fell. She hit the water and sunk. She struggled against the current but her slowly changing body took control. She paddled to shore and collapsed there.

While she was unconscious, her body changed thanks to the demon. Her black hair got longer and white streaks appeared in it. Her body got skinnier and taller. Her breasts got larger and her legs thinner. A demon marking appeared on each of her cheeks and three appeared on each of her arms. Her fingernails grew into claws and fangs appeared in her mouth. Her ears also got more pointed and a tail grew out of the end of her backbone. She was asleep through all of this.


Rin happily skipped along picking flowers with Jaken following behind her.

Jaken yelled after her. "You insufferable child, slow down!"

Rin just laughed and ran towards the river. When she came out of the forest at the bank, she gasped.

There, on the bank, was an unconscious girl.

Rin ran towards her while yelling to Jaken. "JAKEN! HELP!" she yelled.

Jaken gasped. If the girl was hurt in any way, Lord Sesshomaru would have his head. He ran into the clearing where Rin was leaning over the girl. He immediately noticed that the girl was a demon. "Rin! Get away from that demon!" he cried as he ran towards her.

She looked at him. "But Jaken, she's hurt."

It was true. Her head had been hit on a rock and there was a bleeding gash on her forehead.

Jaken was about to check it but the girl started to stir. He pulled Rin back just before the girl lashed out.

When Kagome had realized that there were people around her, her new demon side took control and struck out at however was there. She could tell what she was doing but her vision was red and her mind was cloudy.

Rin screamed as the girl lashed out again. She saw her bright red eyes and saw that she couldn't tell what she was doing.

Sesshomaru had been about five miles away when Rin screamed. He immediately ran towards where they were. He got there just in time to see the demon lash out at Rin again. He went and attacked the girl demon.

Kagome flew backwards to avoid the hit. She felt her forehead throbbing and tears coming down her face but she couldn't stop herself.

Sesshomaru was about to attack again when he felt a tug on his empty sleeve. He looked down at Rin, who was looking at him with pleading eyes. "Rin. Let go." he said.

She shook her head. "I think that something is wrong with her." she pointed to the girl demon. "She's hurt and crying. Let me try something."

Sesshomaru nodded.

Rin carefully walked to where the she demon was standing. She reached out and threw her arms around her in a hug.

Surprisingly, the girl didn't attack. She looked at Rin and lightly put her hands on Rin's shoulders before passing out and falling backwards.

Rin was about to try and keep her from falling but Sesshomaru got there first. He held her up with his good arm.

"Lord Sesshomaru!" Jaken cried as he ran towards him.

"Jaken." Sesshomaru quietly said. "Go and get Ah Hin."

"Yes, Lord Sesshomaru!" Jaken said as he ran out into the forest.

Rin walked over and touched Sesshomaru on the shoulder.

He looked down at her.

"Will she be alright?" Rin quietly asked.

Sesshomaru didn't answer. He just turned his attention back to the girl and waited for Jaken to get back with Ah Hin.


Kagome felt herself falling.

She didn't know where she was but she knew she was falling downward.

She opened her eyes and saw darkness.

She was suddenly upright and standing on the ground.

She glanced around, trying to figure out where she was.

"ROOOOOAAAR!!!!" a roar shook wherever she was.

She spun around and her eyes widened.

Behind her was a large, white cat. A leopard to be exact.

It looked at her and went to jump at her but bars flew up and blocked it. It roared and shook its head.

Kagome felt herself being pulled backwards, away from the leopard.

She tried to stop but she couldn't move anymore.

Kagome gasped as she woke up. When her eyes had focused, she saw that was staring at the sky.

"You're awake!" a girl's voice cried.

Kagome turned her head and saw the girl that traveled with Sesshomaru sitting next to her. "Where am I?" she croaked out.

Rin handed her a water skin which Kagome readily accepted. "You attacked us when you woke up but we got you to calm down. Then Lord Sesshomaru brought you back here." Rin happily said.

Kagome smiled and made a decision. "What's your name?" Kagome gave Rin a slight smile.

"I'm Rin. What about you?" Rin happily chirped.

Kagome thought for a minute. "My name is Maemi."


Rin had led Kagome to a hot spring and then left her.

Kagome edged into the water and frowned. She felt taller.

Wait a minute.

Rin said that I attacked them? With what?

Kagome squeezed her hands together and gasped. She brought her hands apart and saw that one of them was bleeding. She also noticed that she had claws.

THAT DEMON REALLY DID TURN HER FROM A HUMAN TO A DEMON!!!!

She looked at her reflection in the water and saw that she had two demon marks on her face and a strange diamond jewel. She looked at her wrists and saw three on each of her arms. She also felt something on her back and she noticed that she know had a black tail with a white tip. She glanced at her hair and saw that it was longer and had some white in it now. Then it hit her.

"I HAVE A TAIL?!?!?!" she screamed as she shot to her feet.

It was then that she noticed that she was taller, skinner, and had more abundance in her chest. She collapsed back into the water. This was going to take some getting used to.


Kagome had come back out of the springs and went to where Rin was. She had cut a small hole in the back of her torn kimono so her tail could come through.

Rin had smiled at her when she came back. "Maemi-chan did you have a nice soak?" she asked.

Kagome nodded. "Yes, I did."

Rin gasped when she saw Kagome's tail. "Oh, I love your tail!!" she happily said as she stroked it.

Kagome jumped. She had feeling in her tail and Rin wasn't helping.

Rin felt her jump. "Are you alright Maemi-chan?" she asked.

Kagome laughed a bit. "Yeah, sorry but I have feeling in my tail and when you started stroking it, well…….."

Rin laughed. "Sorry."

Kagome leaned against a tree that was near Rin. "So Rin, are you the only one traveling with Lord Sesshomaru?" she asked.

Rin shook her head. "Nope. We also travel with Jaken-sama, an imp, and Ah Hin, a two headed riding dragon." she answered.

Kagome was about to speak when Jaken came crashing through the forest and into the clearing. "Rin are you…..oh you're awake." He said when he saw Kagome awake.

Rin smiled. "Hello Jaken-sama. This is Maemi-chan." she introduced Kagome to Jaken.

Kagome bowed her head slightly to Jaken. "Hello. You must be Jaken-sama."

Jaken frowned and threw a package at her. "Here." he said before laying down on the ground and falling asleep.

Kagome opened the package and gasped. Inside of it was a light blue kimono with dark pink cherry blossoms on it and a dark blue under part. It also had a bright red sash with a light blue obi.

Rin also gasped. "Wow. Its so beautiful." she said in awe.

Kagome re-closed the package and laid it down next to the tree. "Rin-chan, we may want to get some sleep."

Rin yawned and nodded. She walked over to where Kagome was leaning, laid down next to her, and fell asleep.

Kagome smiled at her and fell asleep with thoughts of her new demon powers on her mind.


Mrs. Higurashi sighed as she stared out at the sky.

Kagome, soon it will be time to tell you this. I just hope that you can except it.
