Chapter 1: What The Hell!

Kagome was shocked about what she'd witnessed. It couldn't be, it had to be her imagination.
She scrapped the rest of the paint off of her hands and walked out of the bathroom. Inuyasha was right outside of the bathroom waiting for Kagome to come out and make sure she washed her hands.

"Did you do it?" He asked, giving her suspicious look.

"Yes, see?" She replied, holding out her hands so he could inspect them.

Inuyasha looked down at them and immediately noticed how red they were.

"Oh my gosh, did you use hot water or something? They look terribly red." Inuyasha said with a
concerned look on his face as he grabbed her hands.

"No, I just had to scrub them. That paint was hard to get off." She answered, pulling her
hands from his.

"Oh, well okay..." He said, a little stunned at her reaction.

"Sorry.." She said, ashamed of the way she'd acted.

"It's okay, those reactions are to be expected after everything you've been through." He
said.

"You wanna go sit by the pool." He asked sheepishly to the elderly looking woman.

"Sure." She replied back just as sheepish as he did.

For some reason the more time Inuyasha spent with Kagome, the more he forgot about her being
an old woman. It was odd but, he was actually growing fond of her. It wasn't in a motherly way either. The two traveled over to the indoor swimming pool and sat down in the chairs in front of the pool. Inuyasha stretched out next to Kagome. They sat there for an hour talking about small things like how long Inuyasha had been living in his huge mansion and how he could afford such a huge place. Around 5:00 Kagome's stomach growled, so the pair decided it was time for dinner. Just as Inuyasha and Kagome were walking by the side of the pool, someone burst through the door.

"Konnichiwa biyatches!" This scared the shit out of Inuyasha, causing him to knock Kagome
into the pool.

Kagome fell all the way to the bottom, hitting it with her back. She screamed as she made her
way down, bubbles replacing the sound of her voice. She couldn't breath and she sure as hell
didn't know how to swim. Just as Kagome's vision began to fade, she saw Inuyasha swimming
towards her. Before he could reach her however, Kagome began to glow a faint blue. Inuyasha's
eyes widen as the elderly woman in front of him began to change, her wrinkles smoothing out
by the gentle water flowing around her, her hair turning pitch black flowing around her now
flawless face, but the thing that struck him the most was her eyes. They were the same as
before, with the wisdom of hundreds of years in them, which sort of scared him.

'What the hell!' Was the only thing that came to Inuyasha's mind.
