Recap:

The group decided to let InuYasha be by himself for a little while. Kaede had run out to get more herbs while InuYasha was talking to her. When the group walked back into the hut, they all stared at Kagome with mouths agape. Her body was pulsating just like InuYasha's did when he transformed. They all watched in awe as her dog ears replaced human ones, fangs appeared, and her claws grew longer. Her hair stayed black though. Once the transformation was complete, her eyelids flew open.

"Kagome, are you feeling better?" Sango asked, walking up to her and gently touching her dog ears.

She sat up. "I can…sense a jewel shard! But it's far away."

--------------------

InuYasha sniffed the air. 'Kagome's scent changed.' He looked at the moon. It seemed to have gotten brighter.

He jumped down from the tree and headed back to the hut.

End Recap

Chapter 11: Powers

InuYasha walked towards the hut. He didn't know what he expected. When he entered the clearing in front of the hut, he saw Miroku, Sango, Shippo, Kirara, emerging from the small house. Lastly, he saw Kagome. He stopped at the opening to the clearing. Kagome sniffed the air and looked around. When she spotted him everyone looked at him.

"InuYasha!" Kagome called as they all started walking towards him.

'What now? What do I say?' InuYasha was at a loss for words.

"How come you didn't tell me this was so hard? All the scents and sounds. It must have been hard on you!" Kagome said. She stood in front of him while his friends crowded around them.

"You get used to it, I guess." He said He looked her over. She had black dog ears, long nails, and fangs. He wondered if she was going to keep wearing those clothes, or find a kimono in this era.

"I'm going to try and find a kimono in this era. I plan to live here." She replied, as if reading his thoughts. He was shocked.

"I know, It will inevitably get annoying. Watch this." Miroku said.

"Sango.." Kagome warned. Miroku was whacked by a boomerang.

"So she knows when you're going to be a pervert?" InuYasha questioned.

"One of my abilities must be to read minds. I can 'turn it off' when I want so I don't have to always hear peoples thoughts."

InuYasha put his hands at his sides. His arm brushed up on the hilt of his sword. He looked down at it. "Now we just have one problem."

"And what's that?" Kagome asked.

"If the Tetsusaiga keeps my demon in check, what about Kagome?" InuYasha seemed to be trying to think hard.

"I haven't any clue. Maybe Kagome is different. Could she need no sword to keep her demonic side at bay?" Kaede asked.

"No, Kagome is a normal hanyou now. We should probably ask Totosai. He should know." Miroku turned to go back to the hut. "We should sleep. We have to find Totosai tomorrow." The rest of the group went back to the hut.

In no time, the group was asleep. Everyone but Kagome. She got up from the floor and quietly walked out. InuYasha heard her get up and slowly followed her about a minute after she left.

Kagome walked up to the large sacred tree. She looked up, wondering if she should jump to see if she could sit on a branch. She squatted, and pushed off the ground, landing on a branch higher in the tree than she wanted. 'Oh well, at least I'll have some privacy now' She sat down and looked at the moon and stars in the sky.

InuYasha watched Kagome from behind a tree. She looked up at the towering tree and jumped high up into it. 'I can't even jump that high! Or can i? I don't think I've really tried…'

'A lot has happened today. I can't believe I'm only half demon now. It's kinda cool!' She looked at her palms. 'I can't help feeling a little sad though. I can't figure it out! I mean, my family will except me for who I am, right? But my friends. They won't understand.' She sighed.

'Is that what I'm worried about? Come on, Kagome! You shouldn't be sad about them! You can see them one night every month! And school…' She moaned and pushed the thoughts out of her head. She sniffed the air and turned and leaned around the tree.

"You don't have to hide, InuYasha!" She jumped down the tree about 20 feet to the bottom branches. She watched as he stepped out from behind a large oak tree.

InuYasha looked up at the moon. "It dangerous out here at night."

"You sleep out here all the time!" she argued.

"I know what I can do. You have no clue what your powers are!" He jumped up into the tree and landed right next to her.

"I know I can read minds! And that I can sense jewel shards from farther away!" InuYasha was taken back by the last statement.

"You what!? Can you sense any now?"

"Yeah, only two and they're right next to each other, so I assume they belong to Kouga."

"Oh." He looked at the ground beneath his feet and sat down on the branch. She sat down next to him. "You said earlier, You couldn't believe how hard it must have been on me. Is it hard on you? It wasn't for me because I was born like this, but you were human one second, and a hanyou the next. I'm really sorry…" he never took his eyes off the ground.

Kim: Ugh…fluff. I like to read it, but hard to write. Okay, what's he sorry about? Is he about to do something? Review with your guesses!
