The first time it happened, they were in hysterics. One month later, the second time, they were distraught. The third time it happened, they became suspicious. Takara's 'sickness' had a very specific time table.
"Sesshoumaru," Kagome spoke, watching as her only child became steadily weaker, "I think we should talk to Inuyasha. He's inu-hanyou as well. He might know of what's happening."
And indeed, the hanyou did know.
"Must be her human night."
And while he could not explain why she became so weak,(even regular human pups were stronger than this one) he knew someone who could.
"Go find a Doc named Shiori. She's a bat hanyou, who specializes in hanyou problems."
So they searched the doctor out. And finally got some answers.
"Normally, a hanyou will just suffer the loss of their senses on their human nights. Your daughter, however, is a rarity. She is the child of both an inu-youkai, and a human miko. As such, her body has more difficulty adjusting to the change. As a hanyou, she mostly uses demon jyaki, though she has miko reiki to help balance her. When she goes through her change, the jyaki is almost completely destroyed within her body by the rising levels of reiki. This leaves her extremely weak."
The parents didn't know whether to be happy or terrified.
"Will she be like this her whole life?" Kagome asked, stroking her daughter's inky black locks.
Shiori smiled. "No. Eventually her body will become accustomed to the change, and it will cease to affect her as much."
Extremely relieved, Kagome allowed tears to flow down her cheeks. She felt the heat of her mate at her back, and she knew that everything was going to be ok.
