Chapter 1 – Naraku's curse
Inu-Yasha was sitting there in his normal tree watching everyone sleep. A bad feeling began to overcome him...now that he thought about it he had the same feeling all day. Inu-Yasha was so caught up in his thoughts that he didn't notice Naraku approaching the camp. "Maybe you'll be easier to kill as a child," was all that Naraku said as he slit Kagome's right arm and put some weird powder in. Inu-Yasha then smelt blood...not any blood though, Kagome's blood!
"Kagome!" Inu-Yasha yelled and woke everyone up and even surprised Naraku. "Naraku you bastard! What did you do to Kagome!?" Inu-Yasha yelled taking out his sword
Naraku smirked, "you'll soon see." He then began to laugh and then disappeared. Shippou started to shake Kagome but she wouldn't wake up.
"Is she...?" Inu-Yasha began to ask slowly pleading that she still had life in her. "Kagome come on...answer me damn it!" Inu-Yasha yelled at Kagome but she didn't move at all. Inu-Yasha put his ear up to her chest hoping to hear a heart beat. At last some good news...at least a little bit of good news. Her heartbeat was faint and she was barely breathing. At that instinctive moment he woke everyone up harshly. (A/N: Just so you know while Inu-Yasha was doing that everyone fell back to sleep. –sarcastically- Boy was they concerned.)
"Inu-Yasha what's the matter?" Miroku asked sleepily. Inu-Yasha had all ready picked up Kagome and began to glare at Miroku. "What's wrong with Lady Kagome?" Miroku asked after noticing how pale Kagome was becoming.
"I don't know...Naraku came and all of the sudden Kagome began to act like this." Inu-Yasha replied looking down at Kagome, waiting for Miroku and Shippou to hurry up. Sango went back to her village for some strange reason so they couldn't use Kirara. A couple of moments later Miroku and Shippou were ready, 'finally.' Inu-Yasha thought to himself and began to head towards Kaeda's. 'Please Kagome hang in there.' Inu-Yasha once again thought to himself and continued running at full speed. Not to far behind him was Miroku who also seemed to be worrying. (A/N: Does any one else think that Miroku really uses roller skates instead of running? Besides I'm trying to lighten up the mood.)
'What did Naraku do to Lady Kagome? He did slit her arm...but why not the neck. He seemed to have had the chance. What is he up to?' Miroku pondered as they approached the village. Inu-Yasha had busted into the door and awoke Kaeda.
"What is the matter Inu-Yasha?" Kaeda asked still a little startled.
"It's Kagome. What's wrong with her?!" Inu-Yasha demanded to know as he noticed that Kagome began gasping for some breath. Kaeda looked at Kagome then began to examine her cut arm. She then noticed some kind of powder and began to look it over.
"She will be a child soon." Was all that Kaeda said and Inu-Yasha had a shocked look. "It's too late to do anything about it." Inu-Yasha put Kagome down wondering why Naraku did this. Kagome's violent shaking then startled him.
"Kagome!" Inu-Yasha yelled as a bright light surrounded Kagome and she began to get younger. After her transformation Inu-Yasha was completely shocked. After Kaeda talked to Miroku and Shippou they walked to be greeted by an overwhelming feeling of shock. "Kagome's a...a..." Inu-Yasha began before he was interrupted.
-Meanwhile-
"Is that Kagome as a child?" Kagura asked looking into Kanna's mirror at the girls' smaller form. Naraku had that uneasy look as if his whole plan just messed up.
"My question is how can that damned wench also be a miko much less Kikyou's reincarnation?" Naraku asked angrily as he just glared at the mirror. Kagura just laughed to herself at Naraku's failure. "None the less. The child will die." Was all Naraku said and then begun to laugh.
-Meanwhile-
Kagome began to slowly wake up and everyone began to approach her. She awoke fully to everyone crowding her. Kagome quickly became overcome with fear and backed up into a corner, whimpering. "Kagome?" Inu-Yasha asked slowly approaching the startled child. Kagome looked up with her tear stained eyes. Inu-Yasha couldn't take watching Kagome's huddled, whimpering, and sobbing form. Even if she was a child. Inu-Yasha sat down in his normal Indian style position and gathered the small girls body up and began to rock her. Kagome still continued to cry until Inu-Yasha said, "don't worry Kagome. No one cares if you're a..."
