Chapter 14: Another Day, Another Transformation
The next morning, Kagome was the first one up. She entered the kitchen to find a note taped to the counter.
Dear Auntie,
Gone out for a while. Won't be back for 24 hours or so. You know why. Hope your friends don't freak out too much. Breakfast's in the fridge but the rest is up to you.
P.S.
No funny business, ne? I don't want the house smellin' weird.
Kagome sighed, tucking a strand of hair behind her pointed ear. She began her search for the food. Moriko, the darling she was, had left it in the oven with the heat turned low.
"Pancakes." She breathed, "Chocolate chip pancakes." The scent of chocolate wafted up the stairs,waking Sango.
"Chocolate." She moaned as she stumbled out of her bedroom. "I…smell…chocolate…" she practically fell down the stars in her attempt to reach the delicious smell's source. She was so intent on her mission to find the chocolate she didn't notice Kagome.
"Gimme." She growled, snatching the plate out of her friend's hands and stabbing three pancakes with a fork.
"You know, if I wasn't your best friend, I would be very offended." Commented Kagome in amusement. Sango grumbled something Kagome couldn't make out through her mouth full of food. Second down the stairs was Inuyasha. "Food." He muttered, still half asleep. Kagome put her hands on her hips, "Am I supposed to assume that you want pancakes too?" she asked, giving him a look. He ignored her, merely sitting down across from Sango and stabbing his own pancakes. The first bite finished the waking job.
"This are fantastic!" he commented suddenly. Kagome shrugged, "Well, Moriko did make them. She's better at cooking then I'll ever be." She sat down next to Sango, "Now you gimme." She growled half-heartedly, snatching the platter still filled with the pancakes out of her friend's unwilling hands.
"! Kagome! Those are mine." Whined Sango attempting to snatch them back. Kagome batted her hands away, accidentally scratching her hand.
"Yeouch! Kagome what was that fo-!" she froze as she caught sight of Kagome once again, "…Kagome…?" she asked in a disbelieving voice.
"?" spoke Kagome, confused. "Y…y…you're…what…?" was the intelligent reply.
"Oh. Eh, heh, heh, heh…" she laughed nervously, "Remember when I told you about the full moon…?" she asked, "Well, this is the time when my angel blood ebbs away and I go full demon." She pushed back her black hair from her face revealing two blue stripes on each side of her face. She glanced at them curiously, "Don't worry, It'll end at dawn tomorrow." She stood up, "I'm going to go make some phone calls in the den. Please don't disturb me for a while, ok?"

She breathed in softly, taking in the scent of her mate. They lay there, basking in the sun and taking in the peacefulness of the forest. Her mate shifted slightly,
Are you alright? He asked. She stretched her wing over him slightly, a gesture of affection.
I am fine, love. I am only worried about Kagome. She replied softly. He brought his nose to hers and blew softly.
You aren't all right then. You do realize that in order for who ever it is that is targeting Kagome and taking her power will have to go through ours and natural defenses? He inquired softly. She gave him a cold look, I know. He sighed, I have angered you again. She shifted slightly, It is not your fault. Even though you and I are mates for life, you do not understand me entirely. Yet.
He chuckled, and shifted slightly closer.
"Enough you two, you're going to make me sick." Growled a crackly voice. They sighed at the same time.
Had I known that the property contained you, Bokuseno, I would have reconsidered. She growled threateningly. Tendrils of smoke wafted out of her nostrils.
"And yet here you are, property bought and signed."
You do know how to ruin a mood, Bokuseno. He commented forlornly. She folded her wing over him again, I say we burn him.
"Haven't I been useful to you in the past?" whined Bokuseno anxiously, eyeing them nervously. She cocked her head, Are you actually thinking we would do that? Our kind isn't barbaric. Bokuseno sighed in relief. But no more interruptions or we will, understood? The trees branches quivered slightly, "Yes."
Good.

Kagome sighed as she reached the part where the girl character finally gave in to her feelings for the male character and melted into his kiss.
'If only…' she thought forlornly.
"If only what?" asked a voice. She looked up startled. Inuyasha stood in the doorway, arms crossed, looking at her curiously.
"What do you want?" she snapped, closing the book with a thump. Inuyasha grasped his heart as if wounded, "I'm hurt! I was only asking what you were talking about." He retorted icily. She rolled her eyes, "Dramatic much?" He shrugged, crossing the room and sitting down. He snatched the book t of her hand, "Hmm, let's see. Ooh, Her Handsome, huh? Some title. Romance, I presume?" He flipped through the pages. She tried to snatch the book out o his hands.
"Give it!"
"Nope."
"Come on! It's mine!"
"Ah said no."
"Inuyasha!" She reached a little too far on the last attempt and lost her balance.
"Eep!" she toppled onto him, knocking the wind out of both of them. She gasped weakly opening her eyes. They stared at each other, amber eyes reflecting in golden-yellow. Their faces were centimeters away from each other. She gulped, unable to tear her eyes away.
