Chapter 2: A Blast from The Past

The wind whipped about as a blurred figure made its way towards the human village of Kaede and the forest of InuYasha, one thought on its mind.

'I'm going to ask Kagome to accompany me to the ball and when she says yes, I'm going to rub it in that stupid mutt's face.'

The scent of chamomile and pine hit his nose and he slew his pace slightly, 'that scent, where have I smelt that before?'

Shaking it off the wolf demon hurried to where he found the scent of the ningen Kagome, sighting her, a smirk lit his face. Coming to a sliding stop before the girl, the dust cleared revealing Kouga, the son of Taiku, the lord of the North.

"Hey Kagome. Where's the mutt?"

Kagome shook her head and pointed towards the trees, "probably off sulking again, he's been doing that a lot lately. Anyway, what are you doing here Kouga?"

Kouga smiled as he stepped forward and took Kagome's hands in his, "I came to..." before he could finish he smelt both that previous scent and InuYasha's.

As if on cue he smirked as he dodged a swipe from the raging Hanyou, "Wolf! Get the hell away from Kagome!"

Kouga smirked as he saw the look on InuYasha's face, "Aw, dog breath has finally shown his face. Where were you this time mutt?"

Hearing a responding growl, Kouga was about to launch his own attack when he caught the scent of chamomile and pine coming off InuYasha. His normal scent had disappeared completely, Kouga was confused as he felt himself attracted to the half-breed, but there also was the scent of his older brother.

"None of your damn business Wolf," Kouga only smirked again at that as he decided to narrow the battle field, stepping closer he was once again bombarded with that scent.

'Why does the mutt smell so good and so familiar? What is wrong with me?'

Shaking it off he snickered, "Why do you smell like your brother InuYasha?"

Kouga was surprised to see InuYasha's eyes go wide at that, 'what now?'

Kouga only felt his confusion increase when Kagome tried to touch InuYasha and the mutt backed away. Kouga felt that same confusion take on a whole new level when InuYasha let out a deep growl.

“What are you talking about Kouga, Sesshoumaru hasn't shown his face once in a really long time.”

`He's hiding something, I can just see it!'

Stepping foreword, Kouga gripped InuYasha's haori as he snarled angrily, “What are you hiding InuYasha? Even the kit can smell his scent on you, right Shippou?”

Looking over at the little kit at Kagome's side, Kouga lifted an eyebrow, Shippou perked up after a moment and nodded his head. “Yeah…why do you have his scent on you InuYasha, did you two fight again or something?”

Turning to look at InuYasha again, Kouga saw the shock flash through his eyes briefly, but it disappeared quickly.

“Alright, he did show up and yes we fought, I just didn't want you guys worried about me!”

Seeing the glare that InuYasha sent his way after that, Kouga was about to retort when InuYasha gripped his sides and started panting, as if he was burning up.

`What is happening?'

Then just as suddenly, Kouga watched as InuYasha sank to his knees, trembling as if he was in great pain. A glow started to surround him and then in a split second, a blast of bright light come flooding out of InuYasha, temporarily blinding Kouga.

Shielding his eyes with his hand, Kouga noticed that the light disappeared as soon as it had occurred, but as he let his hand fall from his eyes Kouga was shocked out of his mind at what greeted his eyes.

Kouga backed up as he stared in disbelief at the now 'female' hanyou before him. He studied InuYasha's features and found this new InuYasha to be highly attractive.

His hair had become softer, his hands had become slim and almost porcelain like. While his body had become round and perfectly proportioned, the kimono had been pulled tight showing off all of the new curves, but from where he had grabbed InuYasha the kimono was wide open, giving Kouga a good look at InuYasha's cleavage.

Kouga took a deep calming breath, trying to calm himself but was greeted by the distinct scent of a female mixed with that same scent from before, chamomile and pine.

'Absolutely beautiful!'

Kouga mentally slapped himself for that sudden thought, but that was when two parts of their conversation hit his ears, the monk was the first, “So…InuYasha, you are in fact female…aren't you?”

Then the next was InuYasha, “yeah, I am. I…I didn't mean to deceive you all for as long as I have…it's just that…”as InuYasha spoke, his voice changed to fit his new form, soft but raw and husky. Kouga couldn't help the chills he felt when he heard it, but there was a sadness to it that pained Kouga just to hear it.

`Why does InuYasha seem so sad…' Kouga wanted nothing more than to pull InuYasha into a hug and comfort him, as he struggled to find something to say in this situation. 'InuYasha is a female...and a free one at that...but what about Kagome?'

He was so deep in thought that he didn't hear the rest of the conversation, but Kouga almost melted to the spot when InuYasha's bright amber orbs met his and he was addressed by the hanyou, "What the fuck do you want Kouga, you have a problem with me like this?"

`Hell no! You're hot InuYasha!'

Kouga wanted to voice his thoughts, but what InuYasha had said struck something and it was like something inside of him snapped, his mind was suddenly bombarded with memories.

Memories of him watching InuYasha practice her kata's at Sesshoumaru's castle, of him being dissed by her.

Slowly realization began to dawn on Kouga as the memory of that night, where they had danced together and then talked. Where she had given him a kiss on the cheek good-night and the wish to see him again before he left.

That all of those precious moments returned full force.

Right then and there, the desire he had to tame that wild and different female reappeared. Kouga felt a smile grace his lips as he stared back at the now confused InuYasha, he let his smile only deepen.

"See you at the ball...InuYasha."

Kouga then took off, heading straight for his home and for the second chance he never knew that he had.

Questions began to fill his mind as he ran, making sure to memorize InuYasha's new scent. But one question out rained all of the others as he took one glance back at InuYasha, 'has she forgotten me just as I did her?'

InuYasha stared after the retreating form of Kouga her thoughts mulling over all that she had just witnessed.

'There is something definitely wrong with him, he was acting like he actually liked the new me...but that's impossible. He loves Kagome...doesn't he? And what was that about the ball, how did he know about it, did he over hear me and Sesshoumaru...no that can't be it. I know the answers there...but what is it...'

"InuYasha?"

Hearing Kagome's voice, InuYasha shook herself out of her thoughts and returned to the subject at hand, she could deal with the wolf latter.

"Yeah...what is it Kagome?"

InuYasha turned to look at her friends, Kagome had a confused look on her face while Miroku and Sango just watched. Feeling a slight tug on her leg, InuYasha looked down and smirked when she saw Shippou had latched onto her.

"What did Kouga mean by see you at the ball?"

InuYasha only chuckled at that. "I was going to mention that...ummm, but there's a lot to explain first."

Kagome nodded her head and tugged at InuYasha's kimono, pulling the front open more, thus exposing her chest to Kagome's eyes. InuYasha felt her face turn red as she pulled her kimono closed and took a step back, "What the hell Kagome, what was that about?"

"I just wanted to make sure...you know...that you are a girl. It's a lot to take in right now, considering you have always acted like a guy."

InuYasha shrugged as she stretched her back, "well, I've always been more like a male than female, sorry again about lying to you guys."

Shippou climbed up her leg and hugged her neck, making InuYasha giggle softly. "It's alright, I like you better this way...it's like your now my okaa-san." InuYasha ruffled up Shippo's hair as she started forward.

"Hey, I don't mind but don't you dare call me that!"

Shippo nodded his head enthusiastically at that, he was just happy that InuYasha didn't hit him for that remark.

InuYasha lead the way towards Kaede's village and an occasional 'Hentai' was shouted, surprisingly it was InuYasha crying out and not Sango. It seemed that Miroku had found another piece of tail to chase, because of this, when they reached the village Miroku was unconscious and sporting several new bumps.

As the sun started to set, the InuTatchi gathered inside Kaede's hut and InuYasha began the explanations.

A/N- And that is it for now, the next chapt is on it's way. I just had to fix this stuff first! Until then...Ja Ne!
