Maika sighed as she stared out the window. It had been an hour and the rain didn't look like it was going to let up anytime soon. She turned to Sesshoumaru and walked to him, kneeling down. Since they had gotten here he had been acting strange. He had quickly pushed Maika, Rin, and Jakken away and had fallen asleep. He lay down and Maika took a look then frowned. His breathing was ragged and his stripes were pale. She brushed his bangs away and gasped. His crescent moon seemed to be gone.
Maika closed her eyes and after a minute she opened them again, revealing pure purple eyes. She looked down at her hands and smirked, knowing that her Youkai self was coming out. She cracked her knuckles and raised a sharp claw, tracing Sesshoumaru's neck.
She knew she could find out what was wrong either if he was keeping something from her or if something had poisoned him. Somehow since she was a quarter of a truth demon even a poison could tell her the truth. She gently inserted a claw in his neck, being careful not to hurt him. She closed her eyes once more and concentrated.
'Damn…what's wrong with him? I don't sense anything but I know something is wrong with Sesshoumaru!' she thought to herself. When he started to stir she took out her claw and her eyes changed back to their blue self. Sesshoumaru slowly opened his eyes and took her hand. He sat up then with a moan he turned to his side and vomited violently. Maika quickly brushed his hair away and put a hand on his back. She stroked his hair then stared at one strand, confused and somewhat frightened. Sesshoumaru sensed this and turned his head to one side.
"What is it?" he asked her. Maika blinked.
"Uh…uh…Se...Sesshoumaru you ARE a complete Youkai correct?" she asked him. He frowned and nodded.
"Yes why?" he asked her. Maika blinked again and showed him the strand of hair.
"It…it….its black." She said. Sesshoumaru stared at the black strand of hair. What was going on? He reached for his sword and looked at his reflection. The crescent moon on his forehead was gone as well as his stripes. He stood up quickly and a red light came from him, blinding Maika. She heard a loud thump and saw his figure crumple to the ground.
"SESSHOUMARU!" she cried out, crawling to his side. She gave a shocked gasp and put her hand over her mouth. His silver hair had turned black, his ears rounded, his claws shortened, his stripes completely gone, and his fangs were missing as well. Sesshoumaru…was human.
