'How can this be? Inuyasha can't even move Kenta!' Shippo thought, 'I have to help!' Shippo jumped on top of Kenta's head pounding as hard as his little fists could pound. Without missing a beat Kenta threw him against another tree. Shippo let out a small cry of pain as he hit the tree and fell in heap at the base.

Kagome's anger grew, when she heard her kitten cry out in pain. The wind began to blow around her. Her dark hair, now reaching her waist, flowed wildly around her face. It took on a subtle bluish tint, as lighter blue streaks appeared throughout it. A set of black ears with a slight blue tint, to match the base color of her hair, appeared on top of her head. Her blue eyes started glowing with a pink rings shining around it and Kenta went flying off her. Kagome walked up to Kenta, who was still trying to recover from the blow, "DON'T YOU EVER TOUCH MY KITTEN AGAIN! IF YOU DO I WON'T HESITATE TO KILL YOU!" she promised.

Everyone stared on in disbelief, shocked at Kagome's sudden change in appearance and characteristics.

Kagome turned on her heels and headed to the river to wash her hands from the blood that got on them from slapping Kenta, and apparently when she pushed him back with her Miko powers she must have broken some skin, because his abdomen was bleeding pretty badly. As soon as she left the wind calmed.

After Kagome was out of sight everyone turned towards Kenta, who had manage to stand up against a boulder that was beside him.

"Why would you do that to Kagome? You're her father!" Sango yelled. Not believing what happened."

"I want you to get out of here!" Inuyasha snarled, "if you and your stench aren't gone by time I reach five I'll kill you. One… two… three…"by the time he was about to say four Kenta was out of range for any of Inuyasha's senses.

When Kagome got to the river she looked into the water, shock flooded her when she saw who was looking back. 'What's happening to me? I look completely different and I'm acting different. I'll have to ask Kaede when we get back to the village.' It was then she noticed that she could no longer sense Kenta, which calmed her some.

"Kagome? Are you ok?"

She turned around to come face to face with Inuyasha. "Hmm? Oh ya. I'm fine. How's Shippo?" she asked then turned back to the water. She began scrubbing at the blood the was all over her hands

"Keh, that little runt is fine."

Kagome nodded staring into the river when she finished washing. Inuyasha saw Kagome's look, he could tell something was bugging her. He was about to ask when she spoke up instead. "Inuyasha?"

"Ya?"

"When are we heading back to Kaede's?"

"Why would you want to go back to that old hag's village? We just left!"

"Stop calling Kaede that!" Kagome growled.

Then just like before with Kouga, Kagome settled down again and said in a voice that could make Inuyasha's heart melt, "I want to see if she can tell me anything about the sudden change, and how I can be both Miko and demon."

Inuyasha too, wanted to know what was happening. "Keh. We can start heading back to the village when we get ready in the morning." He said.

"Thank you Inuyasha," Kagome said. She stood up and they began heading back to camp.

The next morning everyone woke up to the smell of ramen. Inuyasha was out of the tree and eating his ramen in the blink of an eye. Once again Kagome didn't eat, but no one said anything. All she did while they ate was clean up the campsite. By time they were done eating the entire campsite was cleaned up, so they started heading to Kaede's right away.

They had been traveling half the day and the trip was quiet so far. Kagome was the one that usually started all the conversations but she was the quietest out of them all. Inuyasha wasn't sure what, but he knew there was something wrong. She didn't sleep too well last night, he knew because he was up sitting by her listening all night long.

Flashback

Inuyasha was just starting to doze off when he once again heard whimpering from Kagome. By the mumbling he could tell it was a dream like the one she had earlier. He jumped down and sat beside her just as he had done earlier. Kagome was in a cold sweat already and she hadn't been asleep but five minutes, and this confused Inuyasha. 'What could be so bad as to make her this scared and upset? She hasn't been asleep that long and already it's like she's been sweating from a hard battle.'

He sat by her all night, trying to calm her until she started waking up. When she was almost awake, he jumped back on his branch and pretended to be asleep while she made the ramen.

End Flashback

'I wonder what she keeps dreaming about."

"Inuyasha!" He heard Miroku say. By the urgency in his voice it sounded important, he turned to see what he wanted but what he saw made his heart stop. While he was in his thoughts Kagome had fainted and Miroku looked like he had caught her just as she was about to hit the ground. Shippo looked like he was about to cry, and Sango and Souta were trying to see what was wrong through the tears in their eyes.

In one swift jump Inuyasha landed beside them and took Kagome from Miroku's arms. He ran to a river he could smell close by. When they got there Sango dug, what Kagome had called a rag, out of the yellow bag and wet it from the stream then gave it to Inuyasha.

'What's wrong Kagome? Why'd you collapse?' Inuyasha kept asking himself while he dabbed Kagome's head trying to cool down the fever that she had gotten. 'How could I not smell this on you before?'

When Kagome's fever went down a little they started at a faster pace to the village. Inuyasha carried Kagome bridal style and ran, while Souta rode on Shippo's balloon form, and the others rode on Kirara. Since they had just left the village the day before it didn't take long to get back, when they did Inuyasha laid Kagome down on one of the futons so Kaede could check on her.
