(A/N) I know the first chapter was kind of boring, but the story will get much, much, much better I promise you!
Chapter 2
Night of the Full Moon
"Kagome! Kagome! Wake up! Kagome!" She could hear them yelling but they seemed so far away. Someone lifted her up into a sitting position. Strong hands held her by the shoulders. She thought that they might belong to Inuyasha but they seemed so gentle.
Or until they started to shake her.
'Yep it's Inuyasha.' she thought to herself.
"Kagome I know you can hear me so stop pretending and wake up!" he yelled in her face and shook her harder. Slowly she came back to herself and it was then that she could feel the throbbing pain coursing through her head. She winced.
"Look she's coming around!" someone said. It sounded like Sango but she wasn't sure.
Her eyes fluttered open. Five black shapes hovered over her, coming in and out of focus. "What happened?" she asked, blinking her eyes, willing them to cooperate. Inuyasha's face was the first that she could make out. He was right in front of her, with his face practically in hers.
"Well that's a stupid question. You fainted of course." snapped Inuyasha.
Miroku shook his head. "Inuyasha calm down. She's going to be alright. So stop worrying." To Kagome he said "He was almost in a state of insanity when he thought you weren't going to wake."
"Was not!" yelled Inuyasha defensively.
"Sit." whispered Kagome, it hurt to talk but Inuyasha was making her head hurt more. She felt the ground shake as he went face first into the ground.

They made camp there that evening when there was still enough light to see.
"So Kagome why did you faint?" asked Sango while handing over a steaming hot cup of tea.
"Yea Kagome why did you? I was so worried." piped up Shippo from across the fire. Over his cup of tea Miroku nodded his head in agreement.
It felt so good to know that so many people cared about her. Bringing up the cup of tea she sniffed in the soft smell of herbs. She took a sip and her headache cleared enough to where she could stand it.
"You remember what that old lady said, right? You know the riddle?" she said and they all nodded, even Inuyasha.
"Well when she said 'One of the future' I had a feeling like she was talking about me, but I don't know how she could have found out. Anyway while she was talking I felt heavier," she cast her eyes to the fire "like someone put weights on my shoulders and it was dragging me down. It was really weird. Then when she disappeared the weight went away also. It made me really dizzy and I passed out." Kagome took another sip of her tea, she waited for them to start spurting out more questions, but all was silent.
Miroku was the first to speak. "That's odd. What do you think the riddle meant?"
Kagome shrugged. She had no clue what it meant but it did mean something, she was sure of it.
"Well maybe if we went through it again maybe we'll be able to figure it out." said Shippo.
Miroku snapped his fingers "Shippo you're a genius."
"It was nothing really." mentioned Shippo.
The monk leaned forward. "Okay lets see. How did it go? Oh yes, I remember. 'One of the future' that could only mean Kagome. 'And one of the past' but who could that mean?" he wondered, his chin resting on his hand.
A thought struck Kagome. "Did anyone else share the same feeling I had?" she asked.
Miroku shook his head. "No, not me. Did you Sango?"
Sango shook her head also. "Not that I could tell. How about you Shippo? Did you feel anything unusual?"
"Nope, nothing." Shippo said and then they all looked at Inuyasha.
He shot them a dirty look. "Get off my back." he snarled and turned his back on them.
Miroku looked at Kagome and then back at Inuyasha. "Come on Inuyasha, this is important. We need to know if you felt anything like Kagome felt."
"Keh, and what if I did. It don't mean anything." he shot back.
Miroku looked back at Kagome with wonder in his eyes. "It just very well could." he said more to himself than to Kagome. "It just very well could."
An awkward silence spread through the encampment. Everybody just sat there wondering what all this could mean.
"'Shall be switched when the full moon is cast'" murmured Sango.
"What was that Sango?" asked Kagome.
"The last part of the riddle, it went 'Shall be switched when the full moon is cast' and the next full moon is tonight!" she stared at Kagome with eyes wide.
'Tonight! It can't be tonight' Kagome thought to herself. 'Switched! What could that possibly-' then it hit her 'Oh God!' It was her turn for her eyes to go wide. She looked at Inuyasha but his back was still turned to her.

He could feel Kagome's eyes borrowing into his back. Inuyasha turned around and met her eyes with his. But what was held in those brown eyes made his skin crawl. They were full of fear, pain and...and was that wonder?
His mind ran through the riddle again. 'What could it mean that would leave Kagome looking at-' he begun but his thoughts were overrun by a new thought. A thought that left him breathless.
"No..no...NO!" he yelled at her. Inuyasha crossed his arms in front of him.
"Inuya-" said Kagome but was cut off by Inuyasha.
"I'm not going anywhere! I'm staying right here in my own-" He stopped in mid-sentence as something over Kagome's shoulder caught his attention. It was big, round and white.
The light coming from it brushed across Kagome, her eyes rolled up into the back of her head and she fainted again.
"Dammit!" he cursed under his breath. He tried to fight it but was overpowered. Everything went black.
