F.Y.I: Still the young Shippo kay? And we'll get back to the other group later.

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

Kagome awoke to something twitching beside her. She assumed it was Shippo when she felt Shippo sleeping next to her stomach. 'If Shippo's there...then what's...' Kagome thought inwardly as she slowly opened her sleeping bag to see what was twitching behind her.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"

Kagome screamed when she saw what it was. It was a long bushy bright red kitsune tail. It came just a little below her feet. There it laid, flicking and moving as if it had a life of it's own.

A blur of red and white fell out of the tree onto the ground. Inuyasha looked up from the tangle made of him and Kikyo to look at the screaming...Red Headed Kagome?!

"What the fucking hell?!" Inuyasha snarled, getting up from the place he and Kikyo fell to on the ground, and stomped over to Kagome. "What the hell is going on wench!? Why are you screaming and why is your hair red?!"

Kagome stopped screaming and looked at him, and blinked, 'Did he say I have red hair?' she asked herself . That's when she heard Sango gasp, "Kagome! You-you have a tail!" "I know that's why I was screaming!" Kagome cried, grabbing a lock of her hair and inspect it to see if it was really red.

Yup, it was red alright! Bright red, just like Shippo's was...just like Shippo's was!

Kagome's eyes widened in realization, she pulled the cover of her sleeping bag further to expose the sleeping kit, "Shippo! What's going on?!" Kagome cried as Shippo started to wake.

"Huh?" Shippo mumbled out groggily, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. He looked up at Kagome, now with bright red hair like his and a bushy kitsune tail. "Oh...this was the teeny tiny side effect I was told you about."

"Teeny tiny?! Do you call Kagome growing a tail and her hair turning red a teeny tiny side effect?!" Inuyasha snarled at Shippo, reaching to grab the kitsune pup before a staff stopped him.

"Clearly Shippo knows what's going on, and frightening him will only cause him to not tell us." Miroku said sagely to his dog-eared friend.

"Shippo, please tell me what's going on?" Kagome asked him pleadingly.

Shippo looked down at his small fox feet and shuffled them a small bit. "You're um...turning into a kitsune youkai." Shippo said, looking up at his new adopted okasan. "Please don't disown me Kagome! But I wanted everyone to know and that was the only was to do it by youkai law! I promise it won't hurt or anything and you'll get kitsune powers and stuff and it will help you be able to protect yourself instead of Inuyasha and and and...!" Shippo burst into tears, fearing that Kagome would disown him now that she knew what he had done.

Kagome's maternal instincts, now enhanced since she was becoming a youkai, kicked in, and Kagome instantly picked up her son and cradled him to her chest and rocked him slightly. "Shhh shhhh, it's alright Shippo, I won't disown you. I just wish you had told me this would have happened so I would have expected it." Kagome said to her crying son. Shippo soon stopped crying and calmed. "So I'm going to be a kitsune youkai then? Hmmm...well at least now I can help more in battles." Kagome said, trying to lighten the mood.

"I really can't believe it...my best friend is becoming a youkai...is she going to be a hanyou or a full youkai?" Sango asked looking at Shippo in Kagome's arms.

"Full." Was all Shippo said before he yawned and cuddled into Kagome's chest, falling asleep again.

"I guess we'll have to see what else happens in the morning...sorry I woke all of you." Kagome said before settling back in her sleeping bag. Everyone went back to sleep all wondering what else would be different on Kagome tomorrow.
