Stranded Flame

Chapter Three

Heated Flames Alight

By Inuyashas Youkai

By the sight of the coming night dawning it's pale moonlight upon the scorching heated forest by the falling sun . Although it wasn't all that was currently heated at the moment , as the appearant change happening abeit hours before was at the moment causing strain within the group within nearby proximity to the girl sweating bullets , yet with cooling watersoaked cloths being exhanged for new ones periodically. It didn't much help for those with the one possessing somewhat sensitive noses to not notice the coupious amounts of lingering want pouring of the girl laying there.

Shippo of course didn't understand but that his adopted mother was in heat , and it gave of a distinct stink altering her normal calming scent, making him cover his nose to subtly mask its potency a little. Kilala rolled around continuously rubbing itself to sooth a unknown itch , and by one causing a frustrated kitty , as Sango had to try assisting while she then upon noticing starting to scratch her fingers amongst her course fur. Miroku at the moment was at the time engaged in a argument with the hanyou in their group , Inuyasha , and it was this that proved to the rest of them that the situation was starting to get out of hand , in his efforts in ignoring her panting mews.

" Will someone do something , wake the bitch , and tell her to stop before she has a whole horde of demons following the stink the wench is giving off , before I do it myself !"

" Now , calm down Inuyasha .. I am sure she hasn't any control over what pleasantly dirty thoughts are being thrown into that fortunate head of hers.." The monk perversely taunted to torment the hanyou all the more .

" Monk , for the benefit to remain able to give any woman the chance of bearing your children , shut up , and do something about the bitch , now!" Inuyasha seethed , while pacing frustratedly pissed off , and trying to remain in control of his actions to stop the now amorous female giving off such a tasty sweet scent ..

" Even if I wanted too , or could, how would you propose I do that ? I'd rather see you suffer in your ignorance , my friend . Oh wait , maybe I could send for the one , what's the wolf's name, again ?Besides isn't there a walking corpse you could be occupying your time with , instead of waving around your disheartening presence here ?" Miroku offered teasingly to the frustrating member at the moment within their group .

Inuyasha didn't give any response to the stupid moron's taunting , only gave a growling huff before once again leaving the hut. The others sought to start making a quick meal , as Kaede , and Sango began to clean the miko with soap to cleanse some of the scent clinging on her , strongly affecting the demons within their group , and preventing any others outside it to come for Kagome, thus retrieving the promise that smell freely gave privy too towards the ones of the sensitive nose. Hours passed , and the small expanse of the hut seemed to settle down a bit , and Kagome's breathing slowed down considerably.

Within Kagome's mind , she was now standing with the mysterious mate holding her from behind , and posing a question to her , tickling within her ears , as the question was being asked lovingly.

" My mate , even though you look divine as you are , but if there was in anyway you wished to appear within a reflection .. What would that be ?"

"Hmmm.. Anything I want , huh? Well, since you like it so much I'll choose to remain like myself , but to see what you look like I would like something , taking apart of you , and if it wouldn't be too much trouble could I get doggy ears like my friend Inuyasha's ?"

" Open your eyes , mate .."

Upon opening them , yet still being in the place they met after she collapsed within the hut , now looking within her reflections staring back at her upon the water. Looking back at her was almost a mirror image to herself , but with some minor differences . First , there perched upon her head were two twitching silver ears moving back , and fourth. Secondly her eyes turned violet , almost black , with subtle hints of red weaving thin smoke vaguely through them . Alas lastly her inky locks grew longer caressing her now maturely filled out form, passing her slightly rounded hips. Smiling happily , in admiring her newly taken image freely offered by the loving glimpse against her with his voice .

" Does mate approve ? " The male hidden somewhere behind her , as he tightened his embrace against him.

Speaking in a deeper sultry voice , Kagome surprised herself in hearing her speak the word..

" Yes .."

" You may keep it , as long as you accept what I offer you.."

The morning rose up with it's accompanying sun, and to the others just awakening to see the unveiled sight in place of where the miko Kagome once lied. Sango's caramel orbs looked on in shock of the newly changed girl that held the place of her adopted sibling in awe, then moved slightly to elbow the monk nearby , one who was sitting upright , and removing the sleepy haze from his still tired form , for last night was one that worn him out, not in a fun way either. It was certain that once the hanyou left hours later , that a large swarm of grotesque demons came within the village to fight amongst them to discover as to where they were hiding the source of the scent that called them . Fortunately , Inuyasha near the brunt of the attack did appear to assist in fighting them off , and before dawn all of them had successfully destroyed all of them , but once they had it was certain to see that the hanyou had not completely recovered from the long duration he was exposed to the scent trails Kagome gave off past before he once again left the nearby area.

Upon seeing his Sango's motions to disturb his peace , the monk looked over towards her meeting her gaze, then following her shift in direction , seeing the member in their care , as the sun's rays met to graze upon her new form. It was then, once taken in the sight of this new vision of Kagome , that the hanyou again made his presence known, now had Kagome's taunt been long gone with the fading breeze. The hanyou had been caught by the sight of Kagome , as Sango was combing her long hair into a long braid to get it into a manageable hold with how it had gotten tangled in her sleep. Inuyasha's breath stolen abruptly from his lungs, in seeing this new exquisitely fuller form upon the simple beauty she once held , making her simply just , wow..

Indeed it definitely would make things rather difficult in the coming of days, for everyone involved , and made more evident within the now fluttering eyes that shown underneath once closed eyelids. Kagome scanned the room with her eyes , and with her ears listened for any sound for who was with her at the time, smiling once she knew who had surrounded her , even though a bittersweet one no longer having the promising warmth from the one claiming to be her mate devotingly . Once those violet eyes with smoky red trails flowing in them met with each one , Kagome found that she was able to sit up now , still happily greeting those that she missed while she was out ..

" Kagome it is good to see you finally join us , how are you feeling ?"

But , it was the voice she answered with , huskily sweet in a sultry sway,combined with the now tight fitting attire peaking out from the coverlet, and exposing glimpses of bare flesh, on top of offhandedly catching the answer she gave, almost made the hanyou go mad altogether.

" I feel like I've been surrounded in a hot spring of bubbles for hours"

'Dammit , bitch ! Your killing me !'
