Standing in the springs, Kagome poured the water over her body. The white yukata she now wore clung to her body. 'This is really cold, almost as bad as Maeko's hand earlier.' She opened her eyes and saw Maeko waiting by the entrance of the cave. The spring was hidden beneath a stone garden behind the shrine. It was peaceful and secluded, the catch was it was located underground. Maeko's voice brought Kagome out of her current chain of thoughts.

"Are you ready dear?" Kagome nodded and started walking toward the ledge of the spring. Her feet were tingling from the cold water, almost as if they were numb She lifted her foot to take a step only to tumble down. 'That is odd, it's getting harder to move.' Her body movements began to get slower, she tried lifting her foot again, but this time she fell back, submerging her whole body into the spring. Quickly she sat up coughing out some of the spring waters. Maeko made no move to help her out of the spring, instead a small evil grin painted on her face. "Maeko please help me, I can't seem to get up." Kagome Lifted her hand but her arm fell, like a lead and crashed back underwater. She felt something hard brush her finger tips, but as she looked down she found not a rock, but a skull.

Her face changed from confusion to fear, she looked once again at Maeko seeing her eerie grin. The woman started toward Kagome in a slow pace. The wrinkled skin around her eyes started peeling away her clothes as well as the skin on her arms tearing and falling to the ground like an old snake skin. Large Sharp claws glistened bright under the callused skin on her hands. Kagome stared Fearfully at the ice blue scaled figure in front of her. 'Oh no, I need to call Inu Yasha...' She opened her mouth to scream, but nothing came out of mouth. Her vocal cords didn't work.

"There's no point in calling out." A sultry voice cooed. The Dragon demon swayed toward Kagome and cupped her chin. "You've been bathing in my saliva, as disgusting as it may sound, It carries paralyzing capabilities." The young priestess paled in disgust. "Soon you will fall asleep and your soul will be mine. I will inherit the strong abilities you once used to destroy that hanyou Naraku." The dragon nuzzled her cheek, now straddling her waist. Her lips crashed down onto Kagome's tongue pushing easily into her mouth and down her throat. Surely the demon intended to slow her heart. Kagome tried to move her body to will it from its cold sleep but nothing worked as she hoped. Slowly her eyes where closing, her mind foggy as sleep was taking her.

"Inu...Yasha, please come …..Fine me...'
