-1Chapter 17: Dog Demon

Mikoto came downstairs, "It's for me. Stay where you are!"

Mikoto opened the door to find Sesshoumaru and her dad. Mikoto started to cry all at once. She trembled and fell to her knees. "I'm so messed up! I fell for nothing. I'm crying! How can I cry? I'm not suppose to cry. I promised myself no matter what stay up. Don't cry in front of people!"

She gave a big sob. Sessy said, "It won't hurt anymore. This new moon is the dog demon. You will be the ice queen and the ruler of pain. Who did this to you?"

Mikoto stood up and wiped her tears, "No one important."

The sun started to set and an unsettling wind came around Mikoto. Her long brown and red highlighted hair turned straight silver. Her tail was gone. Her ears were still there. Her hazel eyes changed to an emotionless gold color. Then the wind was gone. Yuki looked at her in awe "What the?"

He wasn't answered the older Sohma that was new came up, "I'm Hatori Sohma and you must be Mikoto. This is Momiji Sohma."

Then he bowed. Mioto's voice was without feeling and cold, "Well, nice to meet you Hatori and Momiji."

It was almost like Hatori's tone. Kyo looked at the once unsteady and confused. Mikoto turned into a person without feeling. Hatori came near Mikoto and asked, "Are you fooling someone?"

Mikoto's icy voice came, "I'm not a joker."

Her face was without expression. She was like a female version of Hatori and Sesshoumaru combined. Yuki and Kyo were scared. Momiji asked, "Why are you cold?"

Mikoto stared at Momiji with gold emotionless eyes, "Well, I have no idea what you are talking about."

She gave a little smile. Sesshoumaru put his arm around his sister, "Nice to have you back."

They walked in the direction of the well. Inutaisho spoke, "On the new moon all my younger kids change. Inuyasha turns pure human. But for Mikoto it's way different. She might be whole demon but she is half dog and half wolf. She starts to take traits and maybe a different person on a new moon. It just happens this new moon is dog demon."

Inutaisho walked out with last words, "She'll be back in the morning when she's herself."

Hatori

Hatori took Momiji home then follow Mikoto. She turned around, "Finally, someone I really want."

Inutaisho and Sesshoumaru were out of sight. Mikoto kissed him on the cheek. She walked out sight. Hatori walked away. He went home and thought what happened.

Kyo

'What the hell am I going to do?' Kyo thought, 'I made a mistake to think not to tell her.'

He made food for Mary the cat. Yuki was playing a game with Clair. Shigure was home and petting Joan. It was the routine when Mikoto was gone.

Mikoto

"Dad why am I icy?" Mikoto asked.

Inutaisho said, "Because it's one of many traits you have."
