Title: Changed
Summary: There's a strange temple that only mikos and hanyous can enter. However, if a miko enters, the miko will turn in a hanyou! But what if inside this temple there are jewel shards, and Inuyasha and Kagome must go after them?
Disclaimer: Inuyasha is not mine. Uh huh. So get it out of your head.
A/N: Chapter four is out!

Chapter Four – Transformed
Inuyasha violently shook his head, thinking about Kagome. He was panicking as Kagome had not woken up yet, and there was no evidence of any changed. Inuyasha paced around, his hands twitching. If Kagome turned into a hanyou, he wouldn't be the only one anymore?
"No!" Inuyasha growled, desperation in his tone. That can't happen to Kagome! Inuyasha shook his head again, trying, and failing, to clear his head.
It has been three days since Kagome had collapsed. No visible change had occurred to Kagome yet, so no one knew if she was really going to turn into a hanyou or not.
All of Kagome's friends were worried sick. Even Shippo hadn't teased Inuyasha or called him idiot in the three days.
Kagome was in a dreamless sleep, and she wasn't waking up.
Wake up Kagome! Please!

Even after a week, nothing had happened. Kagome had been sixteen for exactly a week, though no one had remembered,
At the end of the week, everyone went to sleep except Inuyasha. He sighed sadly, his ears drooping.
"When will you wake up Kagome?" he asked the sleeping form. Then he fell asleep, sitting cross-legged, watching over her even in his sleep.

The next morning, Inuyasha woke up to find Kagome gone! What was strange was that Inuyasha had not woken up, because Inuyasha always wakes up if there was the slightest movement. Only another hanyou or demon could move in the same move as Inuyasha without waking him up.
"Why Kagome? Did someone take her? Or did she run away?" Inuyasha wondered aloud. "Did she finally wake up?"
Inuyasha noticed a strange smell in the air, different than anything he had smelled before.
In fact, at that moment, Kagome was rushing through the trees, marveling at her new power. I'm so strong! She though. But I want to see my reflection. That's why Kagome had left. Noticing that she had sharp claws, she wanted to check her reflection. As there was no mirror around, she wanted to reach a pool that she had smelled in the distance.
Inuyasha was following Kagome's scent. Kagome's scent was different though, as if more bitter – no, that was the wrong word. Her smell was more wild, stronger and rougher. As if Kagome herself had changed. Is she a hanyou now? Inuyasha thought. Really? The tree's branches snapped as Inuyasha rushed through them.
Kagome had reached the pool, observing her reflection. What she saw shocked her, although what she saw also wasn't completely unrecognizable. It was a familiar stranger.
Staring back her, was an image that looked exactly like she had before, with some changes. For some reasons, all of her changes seem to be revolving around blue and green. Kagome now had dog ears like Inuyasha, although the right ear was blue, the left one green. They were twitching nervously, and Kagome reached up timidly to touch them. They were furry, much like Inuyasha's. Also coming out of her…rear…was a sleek and slim blue-green tail. Inuyasha doesn't have that, does he? Kagome thought. Kagome's nails had sharpened so they could pierce skin easily, although they were the same color as they were before – clear. Her hair also had more blue and green highlights running through them, although most of it was beautiful black it was before. What shocked Kagome the most, however, were her eyes. Oh god, her eyes. They were rimmed with black, one green, one blue. Both were flecked with gold specks. Besides that, there wasn't much difference, except that Kagome was leaner, toned, and looked a bit older. Kagome's appearance was… in one word, stunning.
This…is me? Kagome thought.

The scent seems to end here… Inuyasha looked up.
Inuyasha gasped, his mind full of shock.
Is that…Kagome? Inuyasha thought.

A/N: Short… but take into account that there's a long paragraph, please ^_^ Didn't have much time today.
Also, I made a rough, very fast, badly colored picture of Hanyou Kagome. The link's in my profile.
The most important thing that I intended is that Kagome looks like Kagome. That's what I really wanted people to see, how although there are changes, Kagome is still recognizable as Kagome.
It's not a full body thing, only the head and shoulders . But whatever.
I know it sucks T.T
