"Hello! My name is Sohma Shigure!" Shigure announced happily. "Kyo told me you were pretty, but he never said how stunning you truly were!"

"S-shut up!" Kyo spluttered, both his and Kagome's faces turning red. "I never said anything like that!"

Shigure smiled happily before his smile slid off his face into a serious look.

"Kagome, Yuki told me about what happened between you two at school today." Shigure paused and allowed his words to sink in. Kagome blushed at the memory and Tohru squinted bemusedly at her. Kyo however, was glaring darkly at the floor. Again he was being shut out of the loop. "We need to discuss what is wrong."

"Wrong? I didn't mean to touch him! I promise! He was falling. I just wanted to make sure he didn't hurt himself!" Kagome blustered.

"No," Shigure laughed. "You didn't do anything wrong. It's just, our family is cursed." Kagome didn't say anything at the revelation; she just stared blankly at Shigure and studied his soul and aura carefully. "I know it's hard to believe but it's true."

"It's not hard for me to believe." Kagome answered. "I can see it now that I know what to look for."

"Excuse me?" Yuki asked politely.

"Yeah, I can see your auras. Yuki, you're aura is like a rat and Shigure-san, yours is like a…" Kagome's eyes widened. "A dog!" Her blue eyes gleamed happily as she stared at Shigure with star struck eyes. Shigure beamed at the attention while Kyo glared at the floor even harder at being ignored for the second time in less than two minutes. "Can I please have a demonstration of this curse so I can understand it better?"

Shigure smiled perversely. "Dear Tohru, would you please give me and Yuki-kun a hug?" Tohru flushed darkly and squeaked before Shigure pulled her into his arms. There was a poof of smoke and a black dog replaced the black haired man. "Now it's Yuki's turn!" the Shigure-dog sang. Tohru turned to Yuki questioningly. He held open his arms, blushing slightly and Tohru happily hugged him. There was another poof and Yuki was a small grey rat.

"This is incredible," Kagome breathed. "So when hugged by girls you guys turn into animals." There was silence as Kagome took in what she had seen and just as Shigure opened his mouth to ask Kagome how she could see their auras, Kyo jumped to his feet and slammed his hands on the table.

"I'm obviously not needed here, so I'm leaving." He hissed and stalked out the door.

"Kyo-kun!" Tohru exclaimed.

"I'll go after him Tohru-chan," Kagome smiled grimly. "I have experience calming down stubborn animals." She said cryptically.

"Miss Kagome," Yuki said. "Will you be okay? It's not safe to go wandering through the woods after dark."

"That's okay Yuki-kun. I'll be fine. Just ask Tohru." With that comment tossed over her shoulder, Kagome slipped on her shoes and raced out the door after Kyo. She couldn't see him but she could sense his aura as well as that of an inhuman being. "Oh no. This is not good, this is not good, this is so not good!" Kagome mumbled to herself. She ran through the woods as she tried to get closer to Kyo so she could protect him. The demonic aura was advancing on him and he was completely unaware. Subconsciously Kagome's hand flew to her necklace as she tried to reassure herself that she could protect herself and Kyo easily.

"Kyo! Kyo, come here!" Kagome demanded frantically as she pushed herself to run faster after the stubborn cat. Kagome cried out softly as she tripped over a tree root and twisted her ankle. "Ow! That hurt!" Suddenly a black shadow even darker than the empty forest descended upon Kagome. She quickly threw up a barrier and rolled back up against the monstrous tree trunk of the root she had just tripped over. She hadn't sensed that the demon had changed direction while she was so intent on finding Kyo.

"Who are you?" She demanded of the Night Shadow demon.

"I want the jewel priestess!" it cooed in a smooth voice that was soft as a summer breeze, completely ignoring her question in favor of his demand.

Kagome stood there for a moment, lost in her shock. She had been in her time for well over two months and no demon had come after her looking for the jewel. By the time she shook herself out of her stupor the Night Shadow had slithered silently over the forest floor and, where Kagome assumed its face was, stopped directly in front of her nose. She gasped as the formless black figure shifted and appeared to absorb whatever light there was shining from the moon. Kagome was glad the tree was there to support her when the Night Shadow was done changing because he had taken on the form of InuYasha. He was an exact replica except for his eyes. Instead of InuYasha's deep, honey gold eyes, Kagome was transfixed by a pair of too large, iridescent violet eyes. When he spoke, his voice was just as smooth and persuasive as InuYasha's was when he dropped his tough exterior and let Kagome see that he was hurting. "Kagome, please, give me the Shikon no Tama."

"InuYasha," Kagome breathed. Subconsciously she knew that the figure in front of her was not her best friend and former crush, but there was something about those odd eyes that made her want to believe that InuYasha had come back to her. "I can't. It would kill me to give it to you. I'm sorry." Tears pooled in her cerulean eyes but the impersonator was ruthless.

His persuasive tone changed to outrage and mercilessness. "Then that is a sacrifice I will have to make!" He had walked in a circle as Kagome was speaking and now he was about twenty feet from her. He lunged across that short space with his claws outstretched, aiming for Kagome's head. She let out a shrill cry as she dodged the attack, but his hand still grazed the top of her head. The force of the strike and the sharpness of his nails cut her head and left her dizzy but still miraculously alive. For now. Reaching up to her necklace, she grasped the familiar shape of the bow and arrow and pushed her power into the silver charm. It popped off the chain and grew rapidly as it floated up to the perfect height for Kagome to grab it.

Kagome made to fire the first arrow but the fake InuYasha locked eyes with her again and spoke in an almost believably hurt voice as he asked, "Kagome, would you really come after me with a bow again? I thought you were different from Kikyou."

Kagome froze and shrank the bow and arrow back into its charm form in a trance. "You are right. I can't do it. Not with a bow. But," Kagome reached back up to her necklace and with lightning speed enlarged her Hiraikotsu. "I can attack you with this!" Sudden nausea swept over Kagome and her vision blurred as blood from her head wound trickled into her eyes. She leaned heavily on her weapon as a sudden rustle of bushes drew 'InuYasha's' attention away from the weakened priestess who breathed a heavy sigh of relief until she saw who was coming out of said bushes.
