~*~*~*~*~*~*~*(Chapter Four: Change is changing personalities)*~*~*~*~*~*

The time had come.

Inuyasha stood in front of the well.

Kaede had a few candles out and some herbs.

Sango, Miroku and Shippou were to the side of the well.

They were all waiting for the spell to begin.

"If any of you have something to say to Inuyasha before I send him, speak now." Kaede said.

Sango approached him first.

She walked right up to Inuyasha and stared at him hard.

"Bring her back. And don't let your pride get in the way. Remember that. Tell her I miss her so much." Sango said emotionally.

She had also been entirely upset at the loss of her friend. It was hard not to have a girl around her age around her, especially one she had become so close to. Not to mention being left alone with only a kitsune, a grumpy, sad, (might as well add) boring Hanyou, NOT TO MENTION a lecherous priest. Anyone would crave some girl time.

She stepped back and let Shippou jump forward.

"Give this to her for me. And don't you READ IT!!!! Promise you WON'T read it?" The angry Kitsune said while handing over a folded piece of paper.

Inuyasha gave him a rare smile and said, "I promise."

With that, Shippou stepped back beside Sango and Inuyasha pocketed the paper.

Miroku just nodded at Inuyasha and said, "Remember what I told you."

Inuyasha nodded an acknowledgment then turned to Kaede.

She smiled and said, "Let's Begin."

~*~*~*~**~*~*~**~*~*~**~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Inuyasha opened his eyes but everything was dark.

But when his keen eyesight focused, he realized he was staring at a ceiling.

A ceiling of a well house.

THE CEILING OF KAGOME'S WELL HOUSE!

The realization dawned on him so abruptly that he pounced out of the well so fast he almost fell back in.

Once he calmed down he took a few deep breaths and walked slowly over to Kagome's house.

He went to the tree outside her window and peered inside.

She wasn't there.

'That's strange,' he thought as he looked up at the sky, 'She should be sleeping it's almost mid-night.'

He opened her window and jumped inside.

He couldn't smell her in there.

Sure her scent was /in/ there, it's just that it was old. Not too old just enough to know she was not there.

He looked to her bed and saw there was something under the blankets that would have made anyone without perfect youkai hearing think that someone was sleeping there.

He lifted the blankets and saw crumpled pieces of paper stuck together to make it look like Kagome was sleeping there.

'Why would she do that?' he thought confused by her antics.

Suddenly the door creaked open.

Inuyasha turned his head to see who it was and saw Kagome's brother standing in the doorway.

The boy, 'Souta', peered behind him as if to make sure no one saw him go into the room.

He stepped into Kagome's room and quietly shut the door behind him.

Souta turned to the hanyou and a brilliant smile crossed his face.

"I knew you would come." He said to the dog hanyou.

"Where's Kagome?" Inuyasha said impatiently but not mean. As much as he hated to admit it, he liked Kagome's brother.

Souta's eyes shadowed a bit.

"I promised her I wouldn't tell..," The hanyou began to growl, "Mom.. I promised her I wouldn't tell our mother." The boy said a little flustered.

Inuyasha sat down on Kagome's bed and motioned for the boy to sit and tell him.

Souta did and began.

"Kagome's been kinda weird since she came back 5 months ago. She was depressed at first... Then angry...Then...well..depressed again..

She's changed..." Souta said and looked Inuyasha in the eyes again.

Inuyasha was beginning to get nervous.

"I-. I mean she's still Kagome.deep down.. But she- She changed socially. She sneaks out at night and where's dif- /different/ clothes.

When she sneaks out she only tells me. She lets me know where she'll be. But I can only tell people if there is some emergency. She promises me she doesn't and wont do drugs or join a gang. but she hangs out with people who do!"

Inuyasha's eyes went from hopeful to scared.

"Ka- Kagom- Kagome?" He whispered quietly.

"She's the same person Inuyasha. She just changed.

-there was a long silence before he said-

One time I caught her in her bathroom putting on makeup and staring at herself in the mirror then she said, 'I'll /never/ be like Kikyou.' And an odd kinda smile spread across her face. Inuyasha..

-Souta looked up at him and his gaze pierced Inuyasha-

Who's Kikyou?"

Inuyasha stared at the floor feeling guilty again.

Sensing that the demon wasn't going to answer his question, Souta decided to get to the point.

"If there's anyone who can bring my sister back, it's you! I'll give you directions to the place where Kagome is."

Inuyasha smiled at the boy.

"Bu- But first.. We need to get you clothes that aren't so..different." Souta said and offered Inuyasha a weak smile.

Inuyasha didn't want to wait. He needed to see Kagome /now/.

When he was about to object, Souta cut him off and said, "Kagome would get angry if you didn't at least fit in fashion wise."

Inuyasha sighed in defeat and let the boy show him what to wear.

Inuyasha smiled, 'No matter what, I'm going to see Kagome!' he thought.
