Chapter 2: Explaining To Mother part 1
It was morning, the morning air was slightly chilly. The sun shined down through the trees and into Kagome's eyes. She groaned with irritation but the groan ended up being a growl. She opened her eyes, only to notice several things that she didn't yesterday. She could see morning dew on the leaves on a tree several miles away when she couldn't before. She could hear things much better, she could even hear Sango's and Miroku's conversation about where they were going next. She heard Shippo's light snores from inside Kaede's hut and Kirara's purring as she cleaned herself.
She heard everyone's heartbeats, which she also couldn't before. Sniffing the air, she smelled many different scents, something she never could notice before. She smelt the fresh morning air that smelled faintly of water. Then she sniffed again, smelling four scents. One that smelled like chocolate and vanilla, one that smelled of mint and sandlewood, one that smelled like cinnamon and taffy and one that smelled like caramel and herbs.
Kagome's first guess was that the chocolate and vanilla belonged to Sango. The cinnamon and taffy belonged to Shippo, the mint and sandlewood belonged to Inuyasha, and the caramel and herbs belonged to Miroku. Why Miroku smelled of caramel she wouldn't know. That had yet to exist in the Feudal Era, so it confused her grately.
Purring softly to herself, as she enjoyed the scent of mint and sandlewood which was one of her favorites. Her eyes snapped open when she felt something soft and silky brushing against her ankles. Looking at her feet she took notice of the silky black blue tail swaying back and forth. Kagome raised her eyebrow wondering what the hell was going on. She looked at her hands only to notice she had claws and not her usual blunt fingernails. Brushing a strand of hair behind her ear she noticed they were pointed. Licking her lips she yelped when her tongue was pricked on something. She opened her mouth only to feel fangs where her normal blunt canines were.
Now she was really confused. Did she wake up in an ulternate universe where everything was backwards? She was human wasn't she? What the hell happened to her? She jumped from the tree gracefully landing on her feet. That was deffinitely not something she could have done had she been human. She would have broken something. She had to go see Inuyasha. She raced off to find a lake or river. When she found a river, she looked into the water. She saw a beautiful demoness looking back at her.
'What the hell? Is that me?' Kagome thought to herself as she continued to look at herself.
Her eyes had completely changed, they had gold in her sapphire blue eyes. The silver was mixing in nicely. She took notice of the crescent moon with two five pointed stars and a teardrop in the middle of her forehead. If her memory served her right, that was marking of a dog demon and miko. Since that is what she was.
Kagome knew that she couldn't go home looking like this. She couldn't go to school either. She didn't want people asking questions they really shouldn't be asking. She didn't want to be the center of attention. And she didn't want her friends hounding her to go on a date with Hojo. That was the one thing she didn't want happening.
While she was still looking at herself, she didn't hear or sense Inuyasha come up behind her.
"Who are you, wench?" Inuyasha asked rudely. Kagome sighed, here we go.
"Inuyasha, sit. I'm not a wench," Kagome snapped before she stood back up and glared down at him.
BANG! Inuyasha fell face first into the ground. He once again ate dirt because of his manners.
"Damn it Kagome! I thought I told you not to do that anymore!" Inuyasha yelled but it was muffled by the ground.
"Sorry... but you calling me names is pissing me off. And as for your information I changed." Kagome said calmly.
The spell finally wore off, he stood up on his feet and looked at her. His eyes widened, he then remembered the wound on her arm the night before. When he looked at her arm, he saw that the bandage was off and no wound was to be seen. His jaw hit the ground, the demoness in front of him was none other then Kagome. The woman he loved. But he never told her his feelings, in fear that she wouldn't feel the same.
"I'm glad you figured it out." Kagome said as she smiled.
"K-Kagome? What happened to you?" Inuyasha asked, shocked out of his damn mind.
"I must of changed over night, the same night that black inu bit me." Kagome replied with a shrug. She didn't care, she liked the new her.
"I like it," Inuyasha said as he smirked.
"I know you do. By the way you smell funny. Why's that?" Kagome said as she raised her eyebrow.
Inuyasha's eyes widened, 'shit she smelled my arousal. Wow that nose is good! What do I do now? She's fucking sexy now that she's a demoness.' Inuyasha thought as he tried to rid his arousal by thinking of other things, Miroku in a pink frilly dress, no. Sesshomaru in a pink kimono? Ugh... that did it.
"Umm you must be imagining it." Inuyasha said. "We should return to camp."
Kagome nodded, she needed to explain her sudden change to everyone. Sighing she started walking in the direction of the camp. What would she do? How would she explain this to her mother? Damn she had a exam in a few weeks; but she couldn't attend all because of her new look. Her mother would disapprove of her not attending school. So she had to think of something, something to cover or hide her appearance. That's it! She could go to a village and have a charm made to hide her appearance. No that wouldn't work, not everyone is fond of youkai. So she closed her eyes and her hair still stayed at her knees, the markings disappeared, her ears returned to normal, her claws and fangs disappeared returning to normal. She was once again human and her tail vanished. Kagome smiled, this shall do.
They returned to the village, Shippo was playing with the village kids, Sango was sitting at the fire and Miroku? Well she didn't know where he was. Oh wait, he was standing behind Sango itching to touch her ass. Kagome's eyebrow started twitching with annoyance.
"Miroku, if you want to keep that hand I suggest you remove it from Sango's ass." Kagome snapped.
Miroku frowned but pulled his hand away. "Why must you accuse me of such things Kagome?"
"Because your a pervert..." Kagome said in a bored tone.
Miroku sighed, Sango turned to glare at him. "Don't act all sad. I would have beat the shit out of you."
Kagome smirked, "yes she would have."
Kagome frowned, 'damn...I have to explain to my mother...so I have to go back to my time.' Kagome thought.
She sighed, she had to tell the others that she was leaving. "Guys, I have to go home. I need to talk to my mother." Kagome said.
"No. You are not going home. We haven't found any jewel shards!" Inuyasha snapped.
Kagome growled at him as she glared daggers at him. He glared back not backing down.
"I. Am. Going. Home. Inuyasha!" Kagome said slowly as if she was talking to a little kid.
Inuyasha growled, he didn't like where this was going. Of course they hadn't found any jewel shards yet; and they haven't found any signs of Naraku anywhere.
"No your not!" Inuyasha argued.
"Yes I am!" Kagome argued back, she hated fighting him every time she wanted to go home.
Inuyasha sighed, he hated fighting with Kagome every time she wanted to go home. Why didn't she understand that they had jewel shards to find? They hadn't found any in months, and no signs of Naraku what so ever. He wanted to search some more, and he didn't want to be separated from Kagome. Wait... what was he thinking? Why would he be hesitant to be away from Kagome? Of course he knew a long time ago and came to realization that he loved her. He was just afraid of telling her. Maybe he will tell her, once they got to her time.
With that decision made, he nodded. "Fine, but I'm coming with you."
Kagome nodded, she didn't want to be away from him either. Maybe she could finally tell him her feelings.
With that set in mind, the two walked off to the bone eater's well and jumped in.
