Depends really. Lol.

Chapter 17..for real this time

The last thing Kagome thought was 'I wish I could stay with you forever.' before falling asleep...no one saw the jewel grow brighter.

'Oh god, my head!' Kagome thought as she awoke to the sound of a neighboor shoveling the driveway. 'Could you BE any louder!' She slowly opened her eyes to see InuYasha still sleeping, he hadnt let her go at all through their sleep. She snuggled into his chest, breathing in deeply. 'God he smells good this morning, I can smell everything about him. Mmm, why havent I ever been able to before?' As she looked at him, he was more attractive then ever before, she took in all of him, loving every second. He even looked clearer today. 'You must be feeling like this cus he told you he loves you!' Ya...that makes sence...Wonder if that even works. ANYWAYS.

She looked out the window from her spot in the bed to see it snowing against the bright sky. Christmas was always the most beautiful day of the year for some reason, there was no comparison. Each flake reflected off the sun, creating an almost sparkle to the sky. She smiled warmly, the glare almost burning but it was to beautiful to care. She stretched her body and proceeded to get out of bed, but for some reason her legs felt as if they had never been used and she fell to the floor. 'Woah!' she thought as she landed with a thud. Slowly and carefully she pulled herself up using the edge of the bed. She could now stand and as she walked she felt graceful compared to her normal self which made no sence seeing as she just fell.

She stretched her arms into the air making her shirt rise and her stomach show, her pajamas were getting smaller, she'd have to buy new ones. Then proceeded out the room.

InuYasha woke up when he noticed Kagome was gone, he lazily reached around the bed to make sure before he opened his eyes. As he did he saw someone he didnt recognize, just the back, it was a woman. He breathed in sharply in alarm, bringing in the most seductive aroma he had ever smelt. He found himself breathing in more and more, feeling himself get aroused as he did so. And then he realized something...this scent wasnt all human. He flew from the bed, smelling it all over himself and the bed itself. What happened here? Where was Kagome? With inhuman stealth he crept from the bedroom, following the smell. What scared him most was he couldnt smell Kagome anywhere, almost as if she had just vanished. He found the culprit heading towards the bathroom. Hair was black with an otherwordly blue glow to it, she had long slender legs, sexy hips and he could tell she was well built. But he couldnt let beauty affect him. Without making a sound he dove for her, pressing a claw to her throat.

"Who are you and why are you here? wheres Kagome?" he breathed in her scent, catching a wiff of kagome's on her.

"I-InuYasha?..." her voice was scared, "W-what are you doing?"

He recongnized the voice...it WAS kagome. He turned her to face him and gasped. "W-whats wrong InuYasha?..."

He looked down, unable to look at her and took her by the hand to the bathroom. he pointed to the mirror, telling her to look. As she did she saw not herself but something different. her hair looked almost blue, her eyes were a vibrant green with silver specks inside, and on top of that, she had 2 black dog ears atop her head. She had a silver star on her forehead that seemed to gleam, and she was better built in all aspects of herself. She opened her mouth, revealing two canine teeth, almost like fangs, and her nails were almost twice as long as they usually were. She looked down, and started to cry, not understanding what happened to her. "I..I dont understand..." she held her long blue hair in clawed fingers, looking at it with her new accurate vision, every strand visible to her. "What happened to me?"

Without skipping a beat he enveloped her in safe arms, letting her cry all she wanted into his shoulder. "InuYasha?...Do you know what happened to me?"

"Yeah Kagome...your..."he sighed "Your a demon." he felt her nod against his body, silently weeping.

"But why?"

Then it hit him, "Kagome, what was the last thing you thought before you fell asleep?"

"I..I wished to be with you forever." she thought about it for a second, "Oh..."

They both looked at the jewel, which didnt glow at the intensity it used to. "Mystery solved..." he said.

"This is horrible..."

"Kagome...theres something I need to tell you...I should have told you along time ago but I was afraid of what you would think" He sat down and let her sit on his lap, "This..is a good thing."

"How?" She didnt understand.

"Im..a demon. And with that comes prolonged life. You would die...much longer before me."

She gasped, "I...I didnt realize." he held her tightly.

"Im so happy Kagome...you can never leave me now." she cuddled into him smiling.

"But im hidious. I dont look the same."

He looked slightly puzzled, "are you kidding me?...Your gorgeous, practically irristable. My demon side loves your demon side.Your scent, "he smelt her hair, "Your eyes, your face, your ears, i love those, "he slightly nibbled on one and she laughed, "Kagome, your beautiful."

She blushed, smiling brightly as she cuddled into his warm chest. "I wonder what kind of demon I am," she commented.

He laughed, "I KNOW what kind you are. Its obvious your a dog demon or I wouldnt be so attracted to you at the moment" he gently started to massage her ears which caused her to make a low purr sound from the back of her throat. Embarassed she laughed but let him continue, realizing now why he liked it so much. It was like a whole new pleasure spot and he knew exactly what to do with it. Of course he would, he lived with these ears his whole life, how could he not know what felt good?

She was fully enjoying herself when there was an unexpected phone call. They both turned to the phone in dispair, not really wanting to answer it. Reluctantly, Kagome forced herself off the bed and answered it, it was her mother.

"Merry Christmas Kagome!"

"Oh, hi mom. Merry Christmas...supper at your house?...Tonight?" her voice barely hiding the fear. "S-sure mom...we'll be there...bye mom, love you too." she hung up the phone and groaned in frustration, "What am I going to do!" she looked into the mirror at the new found ears.

"A spell, thats how I hide from everyone. I think I could put one on you until you learn on your own." he suggested. It would have to do until she could tell her parents about it. But would she ever? Would they ever understand? She would have to think on it before making a decision. One wrong move could be fatal or the result of being disowned from the family. But she was their Kagome, how could they disown her, they loved her, why would they just abandon her because she suddenly turned into a hanyou? Because she was a freak thats why! Well, as I have said, parents need to love everything their children do, including accidents resulting in their specie being altered. Not that big a deal..right? At least she wasnt dating out of specie anymore, she was just living out of specie. Which was worse? It was like..a frog being born of toad (is there even a real difference?), or you could have looked at it being a toad dating a frog, but now the frog is a toad. (like my metaphors? thought them up myself!)

He stared at her as she got dressed, her body was even more beautiful then it ever had been bofore. She was more curvacious and her skin seemed fairer and delicate yet strong. Her legs looked longer and more toned. Her whole body looked toned, he was in heaven. He had the urge to touch her, he really wanted to feel the soft skin that formed her body. It was so inviting he could barely keep sitting. The trance was soon over when she had replaced her pajama's with a short green skirt and a black tanktop which by the way, was looking very nice, the shikon jewel placed upon her chest and around her slender neck. He chose to wear a red muscle shirt and blackpants, the usual style, nothing special. She walked to him but said nothing, simply stared and he knew what he was to do. Ever so slightly he closed his eyes and said the enchaned words of disguise. One by one her demon features vanished and he was left with Kagome. The only thing that was not gone was her new form which there wasnt really anything they could do, except hope the family didnt notice. Families dont usually know what their children look like...do they? Course not.

"There, no one will ever be able to tell." he said as he kissed her forehead.

She smiled and nodded. It was a weird sensation to be able to feel the ears atop her head but not see them. The fake ears where normal human ears would be, didnt work. They were just decoration, she still heard out of the dog ears. It was all so disorienting, she also couldnt feel them if she tried to touch them. She had to try to make sure, of course she waited till InuYasha had left the room just so she wouldnt look stupid. How did he do this?

As she walked down the hall she felt very unbalanced again. She wasnt yet used to her new grown legs. She staggered down the hall, slightly bumping into the walls. The reason for her unbalance was that he hips were wider and her legs were longer. Kagome needed to focus herself and find her inner balance, unless she was not gifted with that. As she focused she felt herself feeling much freer, she could stand tall and firm without help from the wall and as she started walking again she felt a grace in her movements she never knew was possible. But she needed to test it out. Slyly she looked at the banister on the hall way, the one you could look over and see the entrance way. with barely a sound she jumped up and landed on the thin banister with one hand and both feet placed on the oak wood. Making sure she was concentrating, she stood up slowly and began walking the rail. If a dog was this balanced imagine how graceful Ginnie must be. She laughed which turned out to be a big mistake, she lost her balance and fell from the rail towards the floor, the lower floor. But it was different this time, she didnt feel out of control, on the contrary, she felt as if it was slow motion. She turned herself over as she flew to the ground and landed perfectly on her feet and one hand once again. Unfortunatly, InuYasha chose that moment to walk into the entrance way and tripped straight over top of her. He did not land so graceful.

Sprawled out on the floor, he grumbled, rubbing his head. "what'd ya do that for!"

"I fell off the railing," she smiled innocently.

He rolled his eyes and stood up, stretching and a few bones in his back cracked. "be more careful next time."

When he left the room she decided to continue exploring her new found abilities. Careful to be quiet, Kagome walked out the front door and onto the sidewalk. The sun gleamed off the snow, making everything quite bright. She made a mental note to buy sunglasses. But how to test her powers? Just then a tree came into view accross the street. Bingo. With lightening speed she ran across the street but slipped on some ice and flew right into a snow bank. She would have to learn how fast she actually could go so she could brace herself next time. Once she was rid off the snow that had fallen all over her, she advanced to the tree. She had seen InuYasha jump up high places before, could she as well? Guess we'll find out. She thought about how she should do this, then jumped how she would normally. Her powerful legs thrusted her right up to the tree. In daze and confusion she randomly grabbed the limb of a tree, then hung on for dear life with her arms around it tightly and legs dangling. Great, now what! Before she knew what was happening, she was being pulled into the tree by strong hands.

"InuYasha!" she gasped as he held her against him, standing on the tree limb to which she had been holding onto.

"You scared me when I couldnt find you. You really shouldnt be playing with your demon powers before you figure out what your abilities are and how to use them properly, thats how people get hurt."

She smiled, "Are you lecturing me?"

InuYasha blushed, "No!" he looked away, "Just concerned is all."

"Fine," she laughed and jumped out of the tree, landing gracefully into the snow.

He signed and jumped after her. This was going to be an interesting couple of days.

ok, I know wut your thinking! This Chapter sucked and was pointless, your probebly right. See, a hint to all other writers, have a plan before you start righting, dont make it up as you go, thats how things get screwed up. But yeah, I know I totally lied and told you I would be able to finish these faster but...I ve had a lot of stuff ive needed to do. I joined Improv for one so thats been taking up some time and you know, things just came up. Not to mention Ive had the worst case of writers block EVER. But I have been working on a new story thats not a fanfiction, this is actually having an outline before I type it all out. Ive been just writing it in a book at school and its about 36 written pages I think. Yeah, im having fun with it. But anyways, I promise to get the next chapter up as soon as possible...I just have to find out what I want to happen first! Anyways, I know this Chapter sucks so I'll make sure to put extra work in the next one just for you guys! I will also try to get Microsoft Word because I bet you noticed all the spelling errors! Anyways, cya around.
