Hello, my wonderful audience! I'm still down in Australia, but I've talked my "family" into letting me use their computer for a bit. So, some of you may think 'Why is she still in school down there?' Well, quite simple. I've decided to stay down here. Baha. Which is really awesome. So, yeah. I'm totally bummed about not being able to see anyone… but I'll live.

Ah yes, the next annoying question: "if Sesshoumaru does indeed come back, will he be a girl?" Dare I say this, in fear of loosing my reviewers; THAT IS WHY YOU ARE READING THIS STORY- TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENS! BLAH! IF YOU ALREADY KNEW WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN, THERE WOULD BE NO POINT IN READING! AHHHHHH

Ok, that was fun.

So now I must inform you of two things…

1- I had a notebook and a half written… so that would be a lot of stuff for everyone to read….

2- I LOST IT! AHHHHH. It took like… a whole freaking school year for me to pump all of that out of my procrastinating self!!!! WAH! cries I guess I'll have to re-write the ENTIRE thing. So, I won't be updating for a while again… meh… So, I guess I'll here from y'all later!

Last time: Kagome took off after "transforming" (will explain later) and Inu-chan is looking for her

A small part of Kagome's mind wanted to stop running and return to Inuyasha, but she kept going. She didn't know where to, but something told her to keep heading in this direction. Her eyes darted to the sky, to see that the sun was rising behind her.

'I must be heading west then…' She chuckled to herself; here she was, running into the west with no idea why. 'I must be going nuts. But I have a feeling that if I go this way, the pain might stop…'

Before Kagome started running again, she heard a distant sound of Inuyasha yelling out her name. Before any thoughts went through her head, she took off as fast as she could. She didn't care that her legs weren't cooperating properly, or that her lungs burned when she took in a breath; but something, or someone, was telling her to stay away from everyone and keep running.

Finally, as the sun was about to set, she collapsed in a small clearing. Her eyes scanned the area for any threats before she settled down in a patch of soft clover ((Does clover grow in Japan..?)) Her last thought before entering a dreamless sleep was 'This place looks really familiar…'
Inuyasha finally found some tracts to follow, and it looked as though they where heading west. Delicately sniffing the markings, he caught Kagome's scent; which, for some odd reason, had altered slightly.

He decided to think about it later, so he stored it in the back of his brain for when he found Kagome. About half an hour later, as the sun was starting to rise, he could smell he was closer to Kagome by the strength of her scent.

"KAGOME!" He yelled, trying to make her stop. But only when he heard her footsteps quicken, meaning she was sprinting, did he realize that wasn't a good idea, as he gave away his closeness.

When Kagome's eyes cracked open, she finally had a memory to place when the clearing, 'This is where it all started.' She looked over to the stone wall, 'This is where I was held captive by Sesshoumaru… Though at the time I thought it was to get the Tetsuiga from Inuyasha. Heh, turns out he only wanted me to keep nature in balance. No biggy…' she scoffed at herself for her naiveté. 'What a fool I was, I should have told Inuyasha sooner…'

But as her eyes traced over the stone, a piece of parchment caught her attention. The note had a few words scribbled onto it, reading:

'What you feel is normal, wait to get help.

For that will only make you hurt longer.

But on the night when there is no moon,

It will vanish completely.'

She looked up at the sky, which was still dark, and saw that the moon was barely visible anymore. 'Damn… It looks like I've still got a night or two before this ends…'

Kagome could feel Inuyasha coming closer, her miko powers tingling with the youkai presence, but this time she didn't run. She merely sat down against the stone wall and waited for him.
'What the fuck is wrong with that girl?! She's always running off somewhere and getting herself in trouble! Sometimes I wonder why I even bother with her…'

You know why…

'What the..?'

sigh It is really amazing we are the same person, I mean, with you being so dense and all…

'Who are you?! I demand to know!!'

You could have just said please. Or is that too much? To hard? Is that why you drive Kagome away? Time after time? If not, please let me know.

'…'

He had been running all night, and the whole time Inuyasha was trying to figure out how Kagome, a human girl, could out run him, a hanyou! It baffled him, to say the least, but he would figure it out when he found her.

Inuyasha sniffed the air, happy to find that Kagome had finally stopped, and he quickened his pace. When he arrived he saw her resting against a stone wall, not quite asleep, but not quite awake either.

"Inuyasha… Are you going to stand there all day? Or are you going to start yelling at me for running away?" Kagome asked without opening her eyes. It was clear to the hanyou that she wasn't in a good mood, so he decided not to say anything. Instead he walked over to the girl and sat down, also against the wall.

After awhile Kagome tried to tell Inuyasha what was going on, but each time she opened her mouth pain erupted through out her body. So she stayed silent. Inuyasha could smell her discomfort, and scooted nearer to her. When he smelled her tears he pulled Kagome into his lap, stroking her hair gently.

Her small body wracked with sobs as she silently cried into Inuyasha's shoulder. "Inuyasha… I wish this would have never happened to me… I don't know what I should do…"

Inuyasha just remained silent, keeping his hold on Kagome a firm one. After a few minutes she stopped crying and stood up. Before Inuyasha could protest she told him she was going to the hot spring near by to freshen up.

The warm water always calmed Kagome down, and she figured it would sooth her muscles, which were screaming in pain from the long run. But, instead of getting better, she started to be in more discomfort. A haze went up in her eyes, and she could feel herself starting to change.

Her head shot back in pain as her teeth broke through the thin layer of skin in her mouth, each fang at a deadly point. Her ears started to migrate to the top of her head, like in Inuyasha's transformation, and her irises turned blood red.

As she looked down, the water around her was clouded with her own blood from her mouth, eyes, claws, and teeth. But probably, what surprised her the most, were the two wings that erupted out of her back.

'What the heck!? Sesshoumaru didn't have freaking WINGS!'

Inuyasha, whom had followed her to the spring, jumped down to the shoreline. He stripped out of his clothing and swam over to where Kagome was huddled.

When she looked up at him he was shocked, no, more then shocked at what he saw. Her eyes, which had once been warm and forgiving, were now the deepest of red, sharp and aggressive. The familiar raven locks on her head had lightened to a hazel brown, and two triangular ears of the same color where resting on the top of her head. One stripe lined her cheekbone with black

Ok… That's it for now… If anyone has any ideas for what happens next (I completely forgot what I had written --) please tell me because I might write myself into a hole again. And yeah, that's no fun.

'til then!
