Chapter Three: Strange Occurances

Kagome finished her TV dinner and set the empty tray on the table next to her.

"Did you like it?" Inuyasha asked.

"Uh-huh, thank you." Kagome replied.

"Yea, um… no problem." He whispered over his shoulder. It was now the day after the attack. Kagome was no longer glowing red but she had healed extrodinarily fast for human. Inuyasha dismissed this as her injuries were not all that bad. Silence enveloped the room for several minutes. Kagome finally broke the uncomfortable silence by saying,

"I'm going to go up and take a shower" she stood from the couch and threw off the blanket.

"But you're still hurt, you should rest more"

"No really I'm ok…"

"Come on lie down." He said grabbing her arms and forcing her back onto the couch.

"I feel fine, let me go" She spat back with anger. Inuyasha decided to heed her words and let her walk upstairs. She still didn't seem like her self. There was just something different about her….

Inuyasha heard a loud thud in the floor above him and decided to investigate.

"Kagome, what happened?" He yelled up the stairwell. No response. He walked around the corner and saw her body lying limp in the middle of the hallway.

"Kagome are you alright?!!" She seemed unconscious. He picked up her small body and took her into her room. There was defiantly something wrong with her. Kagome wasn't the type of person to just faint for no reason. But still, considering what had happened, he wasn't all that surprised.

Suddenly, her eyes flew open, but it was not the deep brown eyes that he expected. Instead, Kagome's eyes were glowing an eirry red that enveloped them completly. Inuyasha then searched her with other senses to find out what was going on.

'What the hell, she smells like a..... demon!' he thought in shock. She turned her head toward him and began to growl loudly.

'This is really wierd, now she's growling at me?!' Without another thought he felt a seering pain burn through his chest. He looked down to se that Kagome and risen from her bed and forced her hand into his upper body. Before he could even yell out in pain a solid punch slammed into his face, knocking him unconcious instantly.

Kagome had felt very dizzy after leaving the living room. She began to worry as she found it hard to walk down her hallway. Only feet from the bathroom door, she felt her eyes drupe and she fell onto her side. She had felt a pair of arms lift her up from the floor adn carry her somewhere. But her headache was so severe it felt like another hand was reaching into her head in an attempt to squeeze the life out of her. She felt afraid as it grew worse and worse while her body still lay limp, not responding to her attempts to move. Something from inside her was telling her to stand up and fight since she no longer felt safe. Her agression reached an amazing peak, sheer will forcing her body to move. She reached out where she thought the person stood. Direct hit! She took a odd satisfaction in feeling the blood seep along her arm. Her other had moved up and landed a swift blow on what she thought was the persons head. She gasped as she felt her face smirk happly when she heard the body crash onto the floor below. Something was telling her she had to get away and fast. Still feeling sick, she stammered along her hallway and down the stairs. Kagome got as far as her living room before again collapsing, falling unconcious on its solid surface.

Inuyasha awoke in a daze. Pain shot through his body, reminding him of the events taken place earlier. He rubbed his chest, feeling the shallow but still bloody wound had already begun to heal. He cound fix his wounds later, first he had to find out what happened to Kagome.

'What the hell is going on' He thought, 'She looked almost, possesed' He ran downstairs and was relieved to find Kagome was still in the house, although she was unconcious again. Inuyasha wasn't taking any chances this time. He left her where she had fallen and stimply covered her in a blanket. Also he kept his hands in the air above her head, ready to stop any attempt of an attack.

She heard someone approach her again, fearing that it was the same person, she tryed to force her body to move. Kagome stopped struggling as she felt a blanket fall over her body. She instantly recodnized it as her blanket and realized that she was still home. She felt Inuyasha's hands lift her head and place it onto his lap. Kagome noticed that not just his lap but his arms too smelled, different. Maybe he needed a bath? Yea thats probably it after all he is from the feudal era. She felt her eyes flutter open.

Inuyasha noticed that she was beginning to move. Her eyes opened, though they were still glowing red. Taking this as the first sign of trouble, his hands shot down to hers and he pinned her on the floor.

"Inuyasha, what are you doing!" Kagome said quietly.

"Kagome do you feel alright?"

"I will be as soon as you let me go!" Kagome's anger evident in her voice. Inuyasha relased her before continuing,

"Are you sure you're feeling ok?"

"Yea, i feel fine, why"

"Well, um......" Kagome spotted the massive gash through his now shreaded haori.

"What happened, who did this?" She said, continuing to examine the wound.

"ummmm, you did..."

"What?!!"

"You might feel ok but you dont look the part" Inuyasha said frankly, pointing over to the mirror in the living room. Kagome couldn't understand it. Her eyes were glowing... RED!!!
