Chapter 2

5 days later…

"Inu Yasha," she whispered, slowly, coming out from her coma. "Who is that?" She casually stood grimacing at the pain of her bruises and scratches. She moaned and groaned as she stretched her back.

She gazed around, noticing she was now in a field of wild flowers. Not too far off was a stream and a demon.

A mother, her mate and three offspring stood around, each giving their own personal scent. She smelt blood, for some reason it didn't surprise her.

Kagome went to a small puddle and peered into its dirtiness. She was bleeding from a gash in her stomach and her cheek was deeply cut, her body parts were all green and sore.

She studied herself in her reflection, she had long black hair, which reached to her hips, and her ears were now pointy. Her eyes were a silver-white in a diamond, black pupil in the center. Markings on her cheeks, four on the left, five on the right, in black and silvery white. Her bust size bigger, and, to her in her knelling position, she looked to be a foot taller. She wasn't wearing any shoes, and her nails (hand and foot) were all painted black. She opened her mouth to be greeted with large white fangs and a pinkish tongue. The Shikon Jewel was full and hung safely around her neck. She was nude, having only a thin bloody white blanket over her. From under the blanket she saw something twitch.

It twitched again, and again and again! Finally, after a few moments of silence, she lifted up the bottom of the blanket. Nicely shaven legs, three black and silvery white markings on each ankle, and a long silver-white tail with black stripes appeared, fidgeting at every spare moment. She sighed; she didn't acknowledge the sigh, not knowing it consciously. She attempted to stand up, but fell back down.

"What?" asked, almost shouted, Kagome, looking around herself, her tail stiffened at the sight of another demon.

"Sit back down, demon," said the young female neko, she was striped with the silvery white like Kagome. "Let me finish you." She pulled Kagome into a sitting position, wrapping a clean white strip of fabric around her stomach many times, and adding ointments and herbs to other wounds. When the neko demon was finished she looked up at Kagome. "Demon? What be your name?" asked the neko demon.

"I will only tell you mine if you will tell me yours," stated Kagome, looking around for something her conscious did not know about.

"Okay, then, my name is Cilia, I live in a village not too far off." She pointed in the direction of the hills, handing Kagome a huge yellow bag. "And I believe this is yours. I found it near where I found you." Kagome thought a few silent moments before speaking.

"My name is Kagome, I don't live near here, but I live in the empty plains of tall, green grasses with only the wind and nature as my company." Inside, Kagome was surprised with her unusual answer, but she thought it was wise. "And yes, this is mine, thank you!" She was handed the bag and she dug into it, searching.

"What are you looking for?" asked Cilia, watching as Kagome's bow and numerous arrows seemed to appear out of no where.

"Oh," groaned Kagome, tugging at something. "I can't believe I left it on the bottom of the bag, again!"

Suddenly, Kagome began to pull out a silk black cloak, on the edges were silver scratch-like markings, all together resembling her tail. She took this out all the way and folded it neatly, putting to the side.

"I have something in here for you, too."

Kagome showed Cilia a beautiful kimono that was green and white. "Hope it fits. I have to go now." She pulled on her cloak making her body disappear. She examined the jewel before, she stood and walked away.

"Who was that girl?" asked a strong male voice, approaching Cilia.

"Oh, Calu! I do not know," Cilia answered her brother, bowing in his presence. "I do know that she wears the Shikon Jewel around her neck…"
"WHAT?" Calu asked, looking at the demon disappearing in the distance. "She is the holder of it? But how? I heard a strong miko protected it." He put a hand to his chin and wondered.

"Personally, brother. I think she is the priestess." Cilia turned away from her older brother and walked to where she had left her children.

"Hmm…" The neko demon walked off with his sister, back to the clan.
