Chapter 3

It was happening to fast. First they win the battle and then they lose Kagome. How could this happen! Shippo started bawling his eyes out and Sango went pale. Miroku was in shock but Inuyasha was different, he was angry. He wouldn't just let Kagome die so easily. Inuyasha dove under water. "I will find her. I have to find her," was all that ran threw his mind. He teared threw the water, but to no avail. "Damn damn!" He couldn't find her. Nothing but a black darkness was every where. In fact the more he searched the darker it seemed the water was getting. Eventually he had to come up for air.

Although he debated over that. Kagome was every thing to him. She brought joy to him. She had helped him notice the good things around him. He couldn't just go up for air when Kagome needed him. If he took a breath time would be wasted and Kagome would be gone for good. So many obsticals were in his way. He couldn't use his nose to find her and the water drowned out all sounds that could possibly lead to finding her. His eyes were useless because it was dark and blurry. Shear strength wouldn't help him either. Finally he craved, air was needed.

When he arose to the surface Shippo was waiting on the shore looking hopefully at his return. His face was happy and his tears had stopped but when he noticed Kagome was not there he cried even harder than before. Sango leaned on Miroku for comfort and Kirara was on her shoulder. Shippo had lost his second mother and Sango had not only lost a friend, but also a sister. Every one was crushed.

Inuyasha slowly emerged from the lake and squeezed all the water out of the sleeves of his kimono. His face was pale and his eyes were blank. Nothing worse could have possibly happened.

The monk was the first to speak up. "We should get going," he suggested. Sango nodded. Shippo nodded to, but tears were still welled up in his eyes. Inuyasha didn't respond. "We need to get the shards," said Sango softly. She had forgotten Inuyasha's excellent hearing. "Shards? Shards! Kagome just died and all you think about are shards!" he shouted at her. "Inuyasha we're all up set, but she's just trying to think of what we need to do. You don't have to let all of your anger out on her," said Miroku. Sango whimpered softly. He Inuyasha turned away."Let's just keep going, it's getting dark," decided Miroku. The group headed toward the next village in silence.

Later in the night...

A blue wolf stood at the bank of the lake. She had one blue stone on her forehead and her nails and eyes were ice blue. Little did the group know but she had been watching their battle. "Such a horrible way to die," she said to the water. Just as she said that the water parted and Kagome was lying on the sea floor. "This girl could do so much more," said the wolf while walking over. She bent down and sniffed Kagome. She touched her cold blue nose to Kagome's forehead. Her stone started to glow blue and Kagome's body started to glow green. The wolf backed away. "Green," she stated. "A color not normally seen. Is she a priestess? Wolf demons and mikos do not mix well. This could end out bad." Kagome's eyes flickered open. "So you stir," said the wolf. Kagome sat up. "Who are you?" she asked. "I am Bowton a wolf demon of waters. Some may call me a water nymph, but they would be incorrect. I control waters, not live in them." "How am I alive? I remember dying. My lungs filled with water, I choked, and my world went blank." "Very true. See you drowned to death. I have saved you. I told the waters to give me your life back, which I then gave to you. Although, now you are part wolf. Your color is green. Dangerous color. Tell me, who are you?" said Bowton.

"Kagome Higurashi. Where's Inuyasha and everyone? Why am I still here? What's going on?" "So many questions dear child. Your friends have moved on, they have gotten far by now. They do not know I am here. I waited tell night to restore your life so no mortals could see you. Do not expect your friends to come back, your scent has changed. I will help you find them, and when we do we shall part." "They moved on with out me?" she cried. "Child they tried to save you, and were truly upset. Especially the fellow in red," replied Bowton. "Inuyasha," Kagome said as her face brightened up. That didn't last very long. Fear soon swept over her face, pain over came her eyes. "Ahhhh!" Kagome screamed

Kagome sut her eyes and put her arms over her head. "What's going on!" she shouted. Before Bowton could reply Kagome's nails grew longer and her teeth turned into fangs. "Kagome you're turning demon. It will be painful so I suggest you do not want to feel it." Bowton brought up her paw and knocked Kagome out cold.

With Inuyasha, Shippo, Miroku, Sango, and Kirara

"Did you hear that?" asked Inuyasha. "Hear what?" asked Sango. "Kagome Iheard her scream," pleaed Inuyasha. He wanted them to believe him, he wanted to go back. "Inuyasha your losing your mind. Come on we need to get to the other village by morning," said Miroku. Inuyasha sighed.

Back with Bowton and Kagome

Kagome's eyes opened to the blinding light of the sun's morning rays. 'Ug what happened? I feel dizzy," she said as she put her hand to her head. "So you wake," said Bowton. "Let's just say you had a rough night," Bowton said with a smile. Kagome stood up, and wobbled. Then she felt something fuzzy against her legs. She turned around to see a black tail, which stopped at her knees. Her ears were pointed, she had small claws, small fangs, and had green eyes. "Ah! What happened to me!" she shouted. "Calm down Kagome," Bowton commanded. Kagome whimpered. Wait, whimpered? "How did I do that?" she asked. "I told you I gave you part of my soul, my soul is wolf making your soul part wolf." "Oh." Kagome looked around. "Looking for these?" asked Bowton while holding out the shikon no tama, which also had the jewel from the snake. "Yes thanks so much!" said Kagome as she took them.

But the jewel didn't purify. Kagome gasped. "The oddest thing happened, your scent changed, but then it changed back to what it was originally. This is not good. Are you a miko?" asked Bowton. "Y-yes I am," Kagome studdered. "This is not good. Although I am not sure you could turn back to normal." Kagome's face lit up. "Or you could purify yourself to death," Bowton continued. Kagome gulped. "Death?" she asked softly. Bowton nodded.

Trying to change the topic Bowton spoke again. "Come on we should find your friends." "Ya," Kagome said. "They couldn't have gotten far," said Bowton. Then they both started to travel in the foot steps of her friends.
