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

As the now carmine colored power seeped back into Kagome, it drastically changed her looks and abilities. Her teeth and nails grew at an alarming rate, until they became fangs and claws. Her hair grew until it brushed the backs of her ankles, the once jet-black hair now entwined with golden strands. When she opened her eyes, everything looked perfectly clear and she could acutely hear things she never could before. Startled, she realized the rain had stopped and the once turbulent pond was now calm. As the last of the power was soaked back up into her body, she felt a searing pain on her forehead.

Crying out, she fell to her knees in the cold water and held her head in pain. In an instant, the pain was completely gone. Confused, she opened her eyes to see her reflection. She stumbled back in shock, backing up until she reached the bank once again. As she breathed heavily in fright she thought 'Was that me?'

She had seen a beautiful youkai staring back at her. Only by cautiously looking again did she realize that it truly WAS her. Now curious, she studied her new look. The first change immediately apparent to her was her eyes. Her eyes were no longer the gentle hazel they once were. In their place rest black pupils lined with threads of gold that wove through them like a spider's web. Other changes were just as shocking. She had a garnet set in the center of her forehead, and her ears came to subtle points, lightly brushing against her hair. "My hair!" she realized. Her eyes traced her hair down beyond her back and stopped at the base of her feet. As she studied her hair, she caught a glimmer of light as the sun shone off golden strands that now intertwined with the pure black strands she remembered.

Entranced by the amazing transformation she had undergone, she did not notice the wisps of fog gently rolling in behind her. Soon the entire pond and the surrounding fields were covered in a suffocating gray mist, that even her new eyes could not penetrate. The sun disappeared, and it seemed as if the entire world had been engulfed by the thick, foreboding fog.

Before she could understand what was happening, she felt her body twitch, the hairs all over her body standing on end. Something inside her felt threatened, telling her she had to move, NOW. She flexed her legs and leapt into the air. As her feet left the ground, she heard a piercing whistle crack through the fog. She looked down and saw a gnarled, sage colored thorn pierce the ground where she had stood just a moment before. Wary, her eyes traced the thorn's path through the fog, where she saw the shape of a Youkai faintly outlined in the depths of the fog.

"Who are you?" she cried as she landed on the opposite bank. She was answered by a second thorn, which gave a piercing cry as he flew straight for her. Without thinking, she threw her weight backwards, scarcely dodging the projectile as it sailed through the fog and imbedded itself into an unsuspecting tree. She would have heeded it no more, except for the sizzling noise that she now heard it emitting. She turned, and watched in horror as the thorn boiled away, taking the tree with it in mere seconds.

"Heh. Why don't you be a good half-breed and give up, wench?" a low rasp bellowed from the fog. It was then that the creature emerged, revealing itself to her. The horror of the tree was soon surpassed by this new horror. The incredible enormity of the creature made her step backwards in terror. The creature was covered in jagged sapphire scales. Its head resembled that of a frog's, with unshapely cheeks and a wide, gaping mouth. Its eyes were hauntingly void of pupils, and stared back at her blankly, and the gills located on the sides of its head were found to be the origin of the poisonous thorns.
