Chapter 4 – Into the future, and the shocking discovery.

The Groups POV

Kagome was the first one to speak up.

"Did you guys see what I saw?" she asked.

"I saw her ears start to go pointy, her canines grow larger, and her eyes change color, but other then that, nope." said Miroku, trying to be funny. He wasn't.

"I told her to expect a change, and I guess this is it." Kaede said.

"What! You knew about this all along!" shouted InuYasha, about to bash the old lady over the head.

"No. I said that I saw a change coming. You know like a vision, but in a dream. It seemed real, so I told her to expect a change."

"Feh." He was just upset that he didn't get to hit her.

Buri's POV

I blinked to see if it all was real, and it didn't change. My dog ears were the same color of my hair, it had changed to a reddish silver color, my nails had grown into claws, and my eyes had changed too, to a golden color.

'I could get used to this,' I thought, 'This is what I've always dreamed of, right?'

But what I wondered about the most was that it didn't hurt. I thought it would be at least a little painful. It wasn't. Go figure. I looked back into the water and, to my surprise, saw myself returning to normal.

'What the heck is going on!?' I screamed inside myself. Wait. Mom might know something. Kagome said that she could travel back and forth as she pleased, so maybe I could too. Of course that would mean that I turn up at her house, but I could call mom, long, long, long distance. I ran back to the village, quite fast. It seemed that my abilities had stayed with me; that or I was imagining things. I entered the hut, and everyone looked at me.

"What?" I asked.

"Well, when you left, you were turning demon on us." Miroku said.

"Yeah, what was that about!?" InuYasha yelled at me, thinking he had another chance to pound someone.

"Well, if I knew I would tell you. Kagome, when are you going back to your era?"

"Tonight. Why?"

"Well, I could find out a little info if I could talk to my mom. Plus she's probably worried sick about me. Do you think I could get across?"

"I don't know, I guess well find out tonight!"

"Uh, Kagome, it is tonight." Shippo said.

"Oh, right I knew that."

Everyone laughed, and Kagome got ready. So did I, getting my spare change of clothes. I was wearing my sword; I would never put it down after the demon attacked me.

"Goodbye guys! See you tomorrow!" Kagome called.

We walked out into the night. The moon was just a sliver in the night sky.

"It's a new moon tomorrow," Kagome said absent-mindedly.

"What does that mean?" I asked, months of history jumping out of my head.

"It means that tomorrow InuYasha turns human."

"Oh, right. What day is it tomorrow?"

"Wednesday, April 10."

"Oh. Tomorrows my 13th birthday then."

"Really?"

"Really."

We arrived at the well seconds later. She jumped in, and as she did called up to me.

"Just jump in!"

I jumped, eyes closed, and waited to hit the ground, not able to be transported. I didn't hit the ground, so I opened my eyes. I was floating, and then all of a sudden I was in another well, a newer age one.

"Were here Buri," Kagome said.

"O wow, I made it!"

Kagome smiled, and entered her house.

"Mom, I'm home! And I've brought a friend!"

Mrs.Higurashi bustled out of a room, spotted me and said,

"I thought you had brought InuYasha. What's your name?" she asked.

"Buri," I answered.

"Oh what a nice name. Come on in!"

I followed Kagome into the kitchen and sat down. I glanced at the clock, and it was just after six o'clock. It probably wouldn't cost anything to call at this time.

"So, Buri, where are you from?" Mrs.Higurashi asked me.

"Canada. I was born April 10th, 1992."

"So you are from this time, all the way from Canada? That's a long ways away, how did you get to the feudal era?"

"I was playing in the forest by my house, and all of a sudden I was there, in these clothes, with a sword."

"Hmmmm. Well, how long have you been away from home?"

"About two days."

"Then your mother must be worried. You should call her, the phone is just over there." She pointed to a side table. I picked up the phone, figured out how it worked fairly easily, and headed into what I guessed was the living room. I dialed, and waited for mom to pick up.

"Hello?"

A voice that sounded like it had been crying had picked up.

"Mom, it's me. Buri!"

"Oh my lord, where are you! I was so worried about you, I mean you left a note, and you didn't come back!"

"Well, don't freak out or anything mom, but I'm in Japan."

"WHAT! When you get back here you are so grounded!"

"Mom, its ok, I'm with a new friend. Her name is Kagome Higurashi, I'm in her house right now."

"But, how did you get there?"

"Well, I was playing out an InuYasha scene, when all of a sudden the scenery changed. I was in Feudal Japan, somehow I was transported into the past."

"Oh."

"Mom, I have a question to ask you. Today, I started to turn into an inu hanyou, or a dog half demon. Do you have any idea why?"

"Well actually I do know why. This story was passed down from generation to generation, so it's a bit fuzzy around the edges. It was about 500 years ago. Your great, great, great, great, great grandmother was a herbalist, working for a chapel. She was picking herbs one day, and she ventured out into a herb patch that she had never been to before. She was picking, when she heard a noise. She stood up, and looked around. There was a dog demon, looking for a meal. He looked at your grandmother, and saw that she was beautiful. He picked her up in his arms, and they went to his house. They fell in love, and had kids. None of them were demons, and so the blood was passed down, and when you were born, and it was a new moon, you were the one who got it. We went to a shrine, one of the last ones left, and got you spelled so that on the day that the new moon was once again on your birthday, the spell would wear off. Tomorrow is the new moon, then canceling the spell."

"Wow. Thanks for telling me. I'll be staying here in Japan and the Feudal era for a while, ok?"

"Okay, but be careful. I love you honey!"

"I love you too mom."

I hung up, and felt a bit shocked about what I had just learned. I was a half demon, and mom had known all along. Tomorrow was my birthday, and the last day that I would be fully human. I walked into the kitchen, and was greeted by the smell of pork chops and rice, and two curious faces. I relayed what I had learned from my mom, and they were also shocked.

"So you're half-demon. What kind?"

"Dog, like InuYasha. Now we'll be even!"

"Well, that is interesting, but we can talk about this after we eat dinner. It's getting cold."

"Ok! But Mrs.Higurashi, why is there a fourth place set out?"

"Well, Kagome has a little brother, his name is Souta. He should be home any time now too."

As if on cue, there was a knock on the door, and we all looked to see him coming in. It was Souta, and he looked excited.

"Mom, Gary (A/N: I'm just making up a name) wants me to come over tomorrow too!"

"Maybe after school."

"Mom, why is InuYasha here?"

She looked at him like she was about to say something, but turned to me instead. Her eyes went wide, and Kagome's had too.

I reached up to where my ears had been, but they weren't there. A quick trip to the bathroom, after a few wrong tries, told me that I had changed again. I waited in there for a few seconds, before my super-sensitive demon senses picked up the really strong smell of urine and other things. I ran out, into what I guessed might be Kagome's room. It was simple enough, with a nice bed, a desk, and an end table. (A/N: don't really know what her room looks like, so I'm just guessing.) The desk had some homework on it, and it didn't look all that difficult. 'Maybe I could go to school here,' I thought, before I realized that tomorrow was my last night human. 'Darn, her work looks pretty easy too.'

I felt something shift, and a quick look in the bathroom told me that I had returned human. I went back downstairs, and everyone was almost finished their dinner.

"What happened there?" asked Kagome.

"Well, I'm guessing since the new moon and the breaking of the spell is so near, I'm thinking that the spell has been weakened considerably. Meaning that my demonic powers are poking through at times."

Souta giggled at the choice of words I chose, and went on talking about his day. I had missed most of it, so I decided to just eat my dinner instead of listening. When I was done, I got up, stretched and yawned.

Mrs.H saw, and she told me that there was a guest room just across from Kagome's room. I followed her directions, and entered the guest room. It looked almost like Kagome's, minus the alarm clock and homework. I settled down under the covers, and was asleep almost instantly. Just before I nodded off, I thought, 'If I am to be helping InuYasha, Kagome and the others, I might be in the history books I love to read.'

Love- Finally I get to talk to my readers!(if I have any) Sound like an ending? That's what I thought! But it's not, just ummm, I forget. Don't worry, that happens all the time.

InuYasha- What's with you wench! I wasn't in the chapter! And that kid was the star of it!

Love- That's just too bad. If you don't like it, then you can write it.

InuYasha- Why would I want to write a story about another dog demon! She's talking the spotlight! That's where I'm supposed to be!

Love- You'll be in the next 1, I promise. Buri goes back to the feudal era, so you'll be there.

InuYasha- I better be.

Kagome- Be nice InuYasha! You're lucky that you're in the story at all!

InuYasha- Shut up wench!

Kagome- don't call me wench. I can do what I want!

InuYasha- Who cares. Wench!

Kagome- don't make me say the's' word!

InuYasha- What! You wouldn't.

Kagome- I would!

InuYasha- Then prove it! Err, oops, no, don't prove it! -runs towards me- Make her stop!

Love- don't run towards me! -runs away with InuYasha chasing me- AHHHH!

Kagome-InuYasha SIT!

InuYasha and Love- NOOOOOOOO! - falls down into hole created by InuYasha- Ahhhhhhh!

InuYasha- get off me! -itch!

Love- Ahhhh! InuYasha don't! - runs around bottom of hole trying to get away from InuYasha- Well, R&R, AHHHHHH! Kagome!

Kagome-Oops -smiles guiltily-

Miroku, Sango, and Shippo- Ah hahahahaha!
