Chapter 2

"The finding out"

It was now sunrise on a Saturday morning in the modern times: The sun shown brightly as it rose higher in the sky, Lighting up the world below. The birds chirped with glee at a beautiful new day. As Kagome started to wake to the strong aroma of pancakes filling the house, a sign someone was cooking breakfast.

Kagome rose slowly from her warm and cozy place of slumber, and sticking her feet into a pair of fluffy slippers. She stood stretching. 'For some reason I feel taller?' She thought as she made her way over to her wardrobe. When opening the door, she noted that it opened easier and more swiftly then normal. For it usual stuck and would usually have to use force to open it, but today it didn't stick. 'Gramps must have fixed it finally' Shrugging the thought of it off, she grabbed her bathrobe, and hurried down the stairs, eager to eat.

When she got down the stairs, her grandfather bounded around the corner yelling; "Be gone demon." and started swinging his old wooden cane at her head, that was covered in those paper Fuda(?), making Kagome back up a step.

"Would you quit it Gamps? It's me Kagome! Ka! Go! Me!" Kagome said her name slowly while she attempted at dogging the cane from yet another swing and then yet another before she grabbed it, and held it still. "Gramps! Stop! you'll break something!" She said, pointing to the shelf dangerously close to where they stood and he was swinging.

Grandpa took that moment to lower his cane and lean in closer to Kagome, causing her to lean back with the awkward closeness of the act. "Ka..Go..Me?" He said slowly, blinking a few times and reaching out to place a hand on her cheek, then pulled it back just as a quick, shaking his head confused.

"Yes, gramps. It's me; Kagome… Did you forget who I was?" Kagome gave a small laugh as she patted her grandpa on the head, who looked rather confused and was mumbling to him self "I think your age is starting to catch up to you. Let's go eat." Her stomach growled with hunger, as she rounded the corner to the kitchen.

"Morning mom. Where's Sota?" Kagome asked as she sat at the table, looking eagerly at the food already placed on the table, her stomach growling at the sight, her mouth watering at the strong scents around her.

"Morning Kagome. Sota's off with friends." Her mom said as she cooked at the stove, but as she turned around, she jumped and dropped the plate of pancakes. The loud sound of the gasp, followed by the louder sound of the plate crashing and shattering upon the ground made Kagome jump from her spot, and her Grandfather run around the corner with his cane held out like a sword with a panicked look. "Kagome? What have you done with yourself?" Mrs. Higurashi said in a gasp, her hand on her chest, as if holding back her heart from jumping out of her chest. Kagome noticed concern and fear in her mother's eyes, making her wonder what her mother saw that made her so shocked.

"What are you talking about mom?" Kagome asked confused and suddenly filled with a small stab of fear in her stomach.

"Go….go look in the mirror… dear…" Her mom said; her voice shaky.

Kagome gulped and nodded, her hands suddenly shaking as she turned outta the kitchen and walked to the downstairs bathroom. She wonder what her mom saw on her that was so scary. Was her hair a funny color all of a sudden? A glance at her hair saw that it was normal midnight black. Was it her face, did something happen to it? She begun feeling her face as she walked, everything felt fine. Her stomach clenched more, just what was it that had her mom so worried, and her grandfather claiming her to be a demon. Did Sota do something to her? "If that brat drew on my face again.. I swear..."She was cut off as she was now in the bath room, and had opened the door and walked to the mirror, her words hung in her open mouth as shock filled her, causing her to stumbled back into the wall in equal shock she saw on her mother's face. In the mirror she saw a demon, or rather a half demon. The face in the mirror looked much like her own, but fuller and with stronger color. Rosy cheeks, and plump red lips. Hazel eyes looked back at her from the face instead of the usual deep chocolate brown, long black hair framed the tanned skin, and upon the head sat two dog looking ears. Fluffy with soft pink insides, that twitched this way and that to every sound. That was not her in the mirror, there was no way! A scream worked its way up into her throat, but she closed her mouth to stop it, her heart speeding up in fear. The mouth in the mirror mimicked her, the hazel eyes she saw in the mirror equaled the fear she felt, and she blinked, and the mirror image blinked.

Finally taking a step towards the mirror with gathered courage, she placed a hand upon the mirror, a hand moved and appeared there are well. Well sharp manicured nails had replaced her normal chipped nails she had the night before. She blinked, shook her hand, as if some kind of trick. nothing happened. Looking back to the mirror she moved her head this way and that, the mirror image followed. She gasped, as she moved her hands to feel her face, the plumper checks, the fuller lips, she smiled and saw the tips of two fangs placed perfectly in line with the rest of her teeth. She moved her hands to the ears that sat upon her head, and gasped again. It really was her, she could feel the ears upon her head, they where really soft and velvet feeling, and when she pinched one, she winced in slight pain. "what... What happened to me.." She asked mirror self, equal confusion answering her back.

As she closed the bathroom closet door she looked at the full body length mirror, and gasped again in slight shock. She looked like she was now a good five inches taller, probably just about the same height as Inuyasha or maybe just a few centimeters shorter. Her body seemed more lean and fit, muscle showed on her exposed arms from the pink Tee shirt she was wear, but the rest of her seemed the same just in general she appeared and felt stronger. "What the.." She mumbled to her self as she twisted this way and that, noting the smaller changes to her fisque that she never had before. She begun to wonder how much she could actually lift now, or how fast she could run, from the muscles that showed lightly in the back of her calf's, that she looked at as she lifted her pant leg to look at them.

Being distracted by the simple changes in her whole appearance and distracted by her thoughts of the why, how's and wonders. Wondering how she would go to school now, how could she stay here at home with out anyone finding out, to be able to graduate, what her mom thought of her now, filling her self with fear and sorrow that she jumped when the bathroom door opened and her mother walked in. With her heart in her chest she faced her mom with a frown. "mom... I think I'm a Hanyou now.." She said softly. Her mother nodded her head with tears brimming her eyes. "You fear me know don't you mom?" Kagome asked, as her mother shook her head. "Never dear." Was her response.

"Just... Just how did this happen?" kagome questioned as she looked to her reflection then back to her mother,

"I don't know why; my dear." Her mom said "But either way. I still love you as my daughter, and your beautiful no matter what." She took her daughter into her arms and hugged her, who gave one small sniffle. "Thank you mama." kagome said through her sniffle, a single tear of small happiness of her mother's acceptance When her tears stopped and she was suddenly consumed with pure anger as her sadness disappeared, the answer rang in her mind. There was only one answer to all of this. She wasn't sure how, or why, but she knew this person HAD to be behind it. "Inuyasha!" She growled as she pushed lightly away from her mother. Her eyes where now filled with rage and held to emotion of sadness as she was just consumed with moments before. Kagome's mother just looked at her with confusion at her daughter's sudden wave of emotions.

"Mom. I have to go." She said through clenched teeth as she ran up the stairs, three at a time until she got to her room and closed her door with a little bit more force the necessary and opened her wardrobe. She pulled out her school outfit and found out that it was a little to small and revealed a little too much now that her body had changed. So she was forced to where a pair of old tight faded blue jeans and tight plain blue T-shirt. She threw on an old school hoody and ran down the stairs, and slipped her shoes on as she ran out the door.

She opened to the doors to well and was filled with the familiar blue light as she jumped down it in one bound. The feeling quickly faded as she looked up and saw a clear blue sky above her. 'I wonder?' Kagome thought as she crouched down and gathered all her muscles in her legs and pushed off with one force. Jumping up and over the well, landing on her feet right next to the well. Only to slip on the fresh wet morning dew grass, and backwards onto her butt with a wince.

"I guess I have to practice that more..." Kagome mumbled as she dusted her self off, and headed off towards Kaede's village to find a certain hanyou who had a long over do sitting ahead for him.
