I wasn't going to post this chapter because it was so short i was going to combine it with the third and make an extra long one, but who knows when i would have published that! Its not much but i hope it keeps you interested, or makes you want to hurl, as long as i get some kind of reply. Enjoi!
All Kagome could remember when she woke up, was wanting some water. She sat up slowly and stretched, it was then that her senses attacked her. A thousand and one different smells assaulted her nose, most of which she didn't understand, and the sounds! It was like someone had a thousand songs playing at once. She reached up to cover her ears only to find them on top of her ears….and fuzzy. She tore her sleeping bag off, noting the sharp claws she didn't have before tear the fabric to bits.
"Kagome please calm down!" she whipped her head around and finally took in everyone but Inuyasha around her. "Kagome, please." Sango pleaded again. Kagome stared at them her mind still reeling.
"I'm a….a-"
"A demon," Miroku finished. "The orb you consumed was meant to block your powers by turning you into a demon, until Kaeru could mate with you and make it permanent of course." Kagome's mind was still reeling and now her stomach was too.
"I need air." She gasped before darting off into the woods. She was running at speeds she had never dreamed of before. Tree's rushed past in a blur, and somehow she avoided running into them. She followed an instinct she never had before and ran until her lungs screamed for air, even then she kept on going until she collapsed by a small lake.
She crawled to the edge of the clear water and stared at the reflection of a wolf demon. Two fuzzy black ears twitched on top of her ears, and fangs stabbed at her lips. Even her eyes were different. Instead of brown, a pair of startling silver eyes stared back. She sat down only to yelp and jumped back up. She apparently also had a long sleek tail, like Koga's. She placed it on her lap and sat at the water's edge stroking the soft fur.
It was easy to ignore the millions of different sounds if she concentrated, and soon she found herself enjoying the silent sounds of nature, but still she felt her ears swivel at every new sound. After a couple of hours however the sounds of leaves rustling under heavy footsteps caught her attention. She quickly swiveled around and crouched low to the ground, and waited for whatever it was to come out. She surprised herself when she heard a low growl escape her lips.
"Easy Kagome it's just me." She rose from her crouch slowly and watched Inuyasha approach tentatively with his arms raised in surrender. His scent reached her then; it was a mixture of crushed pine needles and dry earth, not unpleasing at all. Instead of rushing forward into him like she wanted too she stayed back, not sure how he would take her new look. A low whine escaped her when his eyes dropped to her tail. "Well that's…different." He stated.
"I'm a demon." She finally muttered, dropping onto her knees.
"So? You say it like it's a bad thing." He replied with eyebrows raised.
"It is!" she shot back.
"Do you know where you are right now? Camp is that way," he pointed off in the direction they had both come from. "Give or take a full day of travelling.
"…I ran that?" she whispered in awe. Inuyasha came forward and kneeled in front of her, gold eyes locked on silver.
"You did." He replied.
"But look at me. Im-"
"Beautiful. Like always." Kagome stared at him. It wasn't like Inuyasha to compliment her, and an overwhelming urge to lean forward and close the distance between them surged through her, but instead she turned around and stared back into the lake.
"I'm supposed to be a miko, how am I supposed to do that if I'm a demon?"
"We'll find a way to change you back Kagome." When she didn't reply he got up and stomped in front of her, splashing water everywhere.
"Inuya-"
"Shut up!" he interrupted. She looked up tears still rimming her eyes. "Would you stop moping, that's all you've done so far! You're a demon so what, It's not like it's the end of the damn world. You're still Kagome; you can do things only Kagome can."
Her ears perked up as she got an idea. "Sit boy." The subjugation beads flashed before pulling Inuyasha face first into the lake. Eventually he came sputtering onto the surface.
"What the hell was that for?" he screamed shaking water everywhere unlike a dog.
"It made me feel better." She sighed. The effect didn't last as long as she hoped, and she was already starting to feel terrible again. She got up and walked away from Inuyasha and the lake, into the surrounding trees. Somehow walking through the trees seemed to soothe her, she decided to kick off her shoes and feet the warm earth shift under her feet as she strolled. A small breeze kicked up blowing with it the smell of flowers and warmth. Something inside her seemed to vibrate as every animal and blade of grass suddenly became known, it took a while before she realized Inuyasha was trying to talk to her.
"Kagome!"
"Hmm?" She answered dreamily, feeling the last of that weird feeling leave.
"I said we should start heading back. You feeling okay?" He gingerly placed the back of his hand over her forehead.
"I'm fine," she shot back swatting away his hand. "For a second I just thought I felt… a thing. Never mind, you're right let's go." She picked up her shoes and started off in the direction he had pointed at earlier, eventually the fell into step side by side and he reached for her hand.
"I'll always be here Kagome, no matter what weird as hell changes you go through." He murmured before giving her hand a reassuring squeeze. She smiled and together they made their way towards camp.
