"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!" Kagome's scream split the silence of the Higurashi household causing the birds resting in the Go – Shimboku tree (1) to take flight.
Inuyasha winced, his ears magnifying the scream causing him to fall off the couch with a dazed look on his face. When he finally recovered from the force of the scream, he untangled himself from the uncomfortable and slightly awkward position he was in.
"INUYASHA! WHY DO I HAVE DOG EARS!" Kagome half/screamed half/asked tugging on her newly acquired appendages as if trying to tear them off.
"I'm trying to think! You don't have to blow out my damn eardrums!"
Kagome shrieked as she felt a slight tingling sensation in her mouth. She quickly turned back to the small mirror on the wall and found another cause to scream. "INUYASHA! I HAVE FANGS!" She yelled yet again disrupting the wildlife around her house.
Kagome's headache and wounded arm were soon forgotten as she began to run around the room in a frenzy of panic.
"Kagome! Calm down and let me try to think!" Inuyasha yelled raising his voice to make it match Kagome's. Inuyasha began to feel a dull pounding sensation in his head.
'Great… Now I have a headache…' He thought before grabbing Kagome who happened to be running by him at that exact moment.
He shook her in an attempt to calm her down, he was worried, she never lost control like this. "Please calm down Kagome!" He begged as she continued to yell hysterically.
Kagome grasped Inuyasha's shoulders as her face contorted in pain, she suddenly felt as though her legs couldn't hold her.
"What's wrong?" He asked, grimacing when he felt a sharp pain on both of his shoulder blades. "Kagome?" He asked questioningly before glancing at her hands that were still resting on his shoulders. He gasped when instead of seeing normal fingernails; relatively long claws were in their place.
Kagome opened her eyes after the pain in her hands stopped. She looked at them, searching for the cause of her discomfort… only to find…
"Claws!" She yelled jumping away from Inuyasha, holding her hands out in front of her.
"Inuyasha! Don't let anything else happen to me!"
Inuyasha bit his lip when Kagome's black hair slowly lengthened until it reached her lower back all the while tinting with silver.
"Um… Too late." He mumbled jumping slightly when her eyes turned a pure silver color.
"This is terrible! What am I going to do?" Kagome asked.
Tentatively Inuyasha sniffed the air before coming to a conclusion, "Kagome… you have the smell of a half-demon…"
Kagome who was ignoring him completely continued to ramble on, "How am I going to go to school or go out with my friends or… or…" She burst into tears and huddled in a ball on the floor. She began to rock back and forth in a fetal position, her now long silver and black hair shading her face.
Inuyasha was suddenly overcome with emotion, something that had not happened ever since his mother had died.
"I don't know how this happened, but we'll find a way to fix this…. I promise." Inuyasha replied quietly before kneeling on the ground and carefully pulling a very surprised Kagome into a hug.
Kagome felt a hot blush spread over her face as Inuyasha hesitantly stroked her hair gently, a blush spreading across his face as well.
'Why am I acting like this? Something must be wrong with me.'
'Inuyasha sure is acting weird...' Kagome thought as his silver hair tickled her face making her smile slightly.
Kagome was abruptly jostled out of her thoughts as Inuyasha parted the embrace. Kagome was sorry that the hug was already over and couldn't contain a look of disappointment.
Inuyasha gazed at her face intently. 'I wonder if she is starting to have feelings for me…' with this in mind the young hanyou got a peaceful look on his face and with half – lidded eyes he slowly closed the gap between himself and Kagome.
His lips barely grazed hers when he suddenly realized what he was doing or really what he was about to do. Inuyasha jumped backwards immediately.
'What the hell was I thinking? She could never love me!'
"Inuyasha?" Kagome whispered quietly realizing how close she had come to kissing him.
"Feh, Go get ready, we're going to Kaedes." Inuyasha mumbled leaving the room quickly not wanting to see a look of rejection on her face. He exited the shrine and walked into the well house. He slouched against the wall and closed his eyes. 'How could I have acted so stupid?'
Back in her home Kagome quickly got off the floor lost in her own thoughts.
'Could he possibly have feelings for me? No, he still loves Kikyo and I just happen to look so much like her...'
Kagome returned to her kitchen and picked up the number her mom had left her.
She sadly called her mother explaining to her that she was going to go on a long adventure in the feudal era and might not be back for a few weeks or possibly even months. Luckily, but suspiciously, her mom assumed it was an important quest in gathering the shards of the Shikon no Tama (2) and granted her permission although somewhat reluctantly.
Kagome trudged to her room and looked inside her dresser for something suitable to wear. As she did this she caught sight of herself in the mirror. 'Is this really me?' she asked herself feeling her long hair and her furry dog ears.
'What am I going to do?' Shaking her head slightly Kagome realized something, 'I can help out in battle! I won't be helpless anymore! At least until I change back… I hope I can…'
With this in mind she dug through her drawers for something longer than usual.
With a small smile Kagome pulled out a light blue skirt with silver linings. It was a bit longer than her school skirt but it looked much prettier. She placed it on the bed before throwing clothes in her dresser every which way until she found a black long sleeved shirt with silver edges. For shoes Kagome put on black ones that were similar to her school shoes.
As she changed Kagome realized that she had been wearing her 'small' pajamas in front of Inuyasha all morning causing her whole face to glow a deep red.
'I knew I shouldn't have worn them!'
Still blushing she grabbed her huge backpack that Inuyasha had dropped near her window the night before.
She walked downstairs carrying her yellow backpack with her. Searching through her cupboards she grabbed a couple bags of chips and some ramen. After dumping the food into her bag she opened the refrigerator and took out some soda. Kagome added the drinks to the growing supplies and went upstairs to her bathroom.
She quickly restocked her first aid kit with gauzes, bandages, and other odds and ends. The bag was extremely heavy now but Kagome heaved it onto her shoulders and walked briskly out of the shrine and into the well house. Inuyasha raised his eyebrows when he saw her carrying the bag with no problem. He quickly shook his head and both hanyous (3) jumped into the old well allowing a bright light to surround them.
Xxxxxxx Feudal Era xxxxxxXOnce they felt the ground beneath their feet again Kagome and Inuyasha both jumped out of the well pausing to sniff the air. Kagome set her backpack onto the ground taking in the view around her. With her heightened senses the whole place seemed different.
They turned in the direction of a rustling noise that came from the bushes.
Seconds later Shippo ran out and launched himself into Inuyasha's chest.
"Inuyasha! Your back! Where's Kagome? Did you make her mad again? Who's this?" the young kitsune (4) asked eyeing the hanyou Kagome warily.
"Is she your new girlfriend?" Shippo asked obviously not valuing his life much. "So now you're three timing everyone?"
Inuyasha responded quite violently to the kitsune's questions by dropping him onto the ground and punching him in the head over and over until Kagome couldn't take it any longer.
"SIT!" Kagome ordered. Instantly Inuyasha slammed into the ground. Unfortunately he landed on top of Shippo in the process. Both demons were knocked out and just lay in the large hole Inuyasha's body had created.
"Oops." Kagome muttered as she attempted to disentangle Shippo and Inuyasha.
"Sorry Shippo." She said hoping he wasn't squashed too badly. As she failed to move Inuyasha's unconscious body she sensed two people approaching. Wiggling her dog ears she could hear the slight jingle on a certain monks staff and the sound of something very heavy being dragged across the ground.
"Kilala? Do you sense that something's wrong?" A female demonslayers voice asked.
"Grr!" Was the only response.
"Hurry Miroku! Shippo might be in trouble! He was all alone!" The female voice said, this time seeming much closer to the clearing.
Kagome quickly snapped her eyes up scanning the nearby trees, 'what am I feeling? Something's coming!'
Moments later a huge boomerang came flying through the clearing aimed directly at her. Kagome could only watch in horror as it got closer and closer.
