She would have never recognized him had she not come across him on that fateful night of the new moon. She would have never understood why this man with blue eyes, raven hair, straight, handsome nose, strong jawbone, and tall, muscular feature owned her hanyou's voice, had she never seen him in his human form. But she had.

 

And she knew it was him.

 

~*~

 

Had she ever told anyone how her adventures came to an end?

 

~*~

 

One day she stopped skipping school, and all her friends wondered why she never fell sick again.

 

She was still the cheerful and kind-hearted Kagome everyone knew. Until they saw that the Kagome they knew was all but the Kagome they had known.

 

It was not that she had changed mentally; that she viewed things differently and kinder, was not surprising to them. Children grew up; girls grew up even faster than the boys. Hearts that were broken ripened the minds, and each girl had once gone through this kind of situation. No, it wasn't this kind of change that baffled Kagome's friends.

 

It was her physical changes that surprised them. And no, it was not the ripening of limbs indicating a maturing process from a girl to womanhood, though rest assure that everything, sensually and wonderfully so, were in the right places in her case.

 

The thing was, in this day and age, appearance changes were mostly done under knife; one didn't wish for a change of facial features and had it done instantly. It was just not possible.

 

So it was a joke between Kagome's friends when they noticed that her facial appearance began to transform. How could one explain blue eyes turned grey or thin nose or different shape of cheekbone, temple and eyes? There were still many things that they felt had changed, but they couldn't point out exactly what. All in one sentence; it seemed that Kagome looked different as she grew older.

 

Even though Kagome's friends made fun of her transformation, they secretly envied her terribly. How could a cute girl turn into a stunning creature? It was unfair.

 

But how did Kagome felt about herself and her changes?

 

~*~

 

Everyday Kagome looked at herself in the mirror, and everyday she began to loathe the face that resembled the one who had taken away her happiness.

 

It began when she studied her eyes in the mirror. She narrowed her eyes to scathe the shape of them. And the morning after that she realized that the corner forms of her eyes looked as if they had uplifted themselves.

 

At first she thought it was her sight that played tricks on her, but in the morning after that she found that her eye-shade had changed.

 

Every features of her face began to gradually change with each passing day; each was either delicately refined or uplifted or filled.

 

One day she looked at herself closely in the mirror, and a feeling of anguish suddenly attacked her. She wept down with every aching wound of heartbreak tearing inside her. Her wish was granted; she was no longer the face of the woman he had once loved. She had to say goodbye to the past.

 

~*~

 

But still she refused to believe it was him.

 

Until she heard a loud squealing coming from her friend behind her as she jumped into his embrace.

 

“Inuyasha!”

 

And there she was in his embrace. Mai-chan. Her childhood friend who moved out of town when she was twelve, who Kagome only met again just seconds ago.

 

And she felt so betrayed.

 

~*~

 

Kagome once thought that gods protected and loved every each one of us. But now she knew the truth; that gods hated her. Solely her. O how they had to have hated her.

 

~*~

 

Kin opened his arms to embrace his childhood friend. As Mai tried to prolong the brief hug, his eyes roamed the sight in front of him. `So this is my new roommate.' He began checking her out. As always he started to lavish some attention to her tiny feet up to her slender legs, clad in jeans. He obviously liked the view, feeling his blood began to pump harder. After the delectable hips came the small waist and his eyes lingered on her firm, high breasts, bulging roundly ample inside her loose empire babydoll cami. He silently thanked gods for camis; his eyes hungrily swept across his roommate's lily-white skin and the slightly blushing of rosé tone complimenting the whole palette.

 

The moment he passed after the display of her graceful, delicate neck, he sucked in his breath, hard. There were no words to describe how stunning she was. It was probably the combination of her flushed, full pouting lips, tiny, thin nose, soulful gray eyes laced with dramatic eyelashes, high cheek bones, marble-smooth and soft facial skin, enchanting high eyebrows, and delicate temples; all in all, this splendor was enclosed in the elfin face of hers. His eyes started to compliment her silky black hair when he suddenly realized something. And he went back surveying her eyes; they were stormy, and most of all they were teary.

 

Mai felt the sudden change in her friend's body; she reluctantly released him to check what had occurred. Seeing his eyes were glued to the sight of Kagome, she narrowed her eyes a bit in displeasure. But then she caught herself and turned towards Kagome to introduce him to her.

 

“Kagome-chan, this is Kin. I told you about him.” Mai said cheerily. And when she finally looked at her friend again, she noticed the sudden change in her, as if a terrible sadness had attacked Kagome out of nowhere. Kagome was trembling in anguish.

 

“Kagome-chan?” Mai asked her tentatively.

 

Kagome blinked down her tears and tried to control her trembling, not wanting to cause a scene.

 

“I'm sorry.” Kagome rubbed her eyes furiously with the back of her hand. “I didn't know I was that tired.” She said softly, trying to keep the anxiety out of her voice. Her hand was still rubbing her eyes; she tried to hold back her tears with a frown.

 

Kin stepped closer towards her, unintentionally breathing in her sweet scent, and felt lost in it. A strong impulse to pull the girl into his arms overcame him; it was like he had found a long lost something.

 

Kagome looked up to see him coming closer towards her. Feeling he was coming closer and closer, she abruptly extended her hand to him, effectively stopping him coming nearer to her.

 

“Nice to meet you. My name's Higurashi Kagome; hopefully we'll get along well.”

 

Kin blinked and stared at her hand, after a few moments he caught it awkwardly. The moment he closed his hand upon the girl's, he felt a shock of electricity ran through both of them.

 

Kagome immediately snatched her hand back; she crossed her arms across her chest and tried to rub down the sudden Goosebumps appearing on her skin.

 

She looked again at him. The twist of her head seemed enchantingly vulnerable to him; once again the sight of her soulful eyes rendered him speechless. The girl was a witch he decided; nothing else could explain his sudden attraction to her, if not, then what could explain why her every move and look was creating a raging desire in him to possess her in every way imaginable.

 

Each of his emotions was not lost on the cunning Mai; her feminine sensitivity had detected Kin's interest on Kagome. So she grabbed his arm and held it in a tight grip, and she continued to chatter cheerily.

 

“Inuyasha, did you bring Sachiko-chan here? I haven't got any chance to meet her lately.”

 

Kin immediately sobered up by the mention of his current girlfriend. He scratched the back of his neck and answered sheepishly. “No, she's not here.”

 

Kagome froze once again. And both occupants of the room thought that it was because of the knowledge that he had a girlfriend. A stabbing feeling of guilt pierced through him, but strangely it wasn't towards his girlfriend that he harbored the guilt, instead it was towards the new roommate in front of him.

 

Kagome walked towards her friend; once she was in front of her, she held her arm in a grip. It was strange how they all made a chain of connection; Inuyasha was held by Mai and Mai was held by Kagome.

 

“Kagome?” Mai asked her again a bit intimidated; the grip on her arm began to hurt a little.

 

“You called him… Inuyasha?” Kagome's voice cracked a tad.

 

“What?” Mai stared at her bafflingly, and then her face brightened up. “Of course, I told you his name was Kin.” She smacked her forehead. “Inuyasha is actually his nickname; he insisted we called him Inuyasha ever since he had this dream about a roguish, handsome half demon, which he claimed to resemble him down to the small details,” -the last part of the sentence was said with a roll of her eyes, “anyway since he was twelve he wouldn't answer to any other name -even his own- but Inuyasha. He stubbornly thinks he is the reincarnation of the o so great demon.”

 

“Hey!” Kin yelled. “I am Inuyasha; my parents just had trouble naming me sufficiently.”

 

Kagome wanted to laugh out loud. How could one claim stupidly such nonsense? If he was plagued by some strange nightmares that obsessed him to the point of identity crisis, then that was his problem. He couldn't possibly expect her to call him that name out of childish-

 

He smirked. And suddenly Kagome couldn't hold it in anymore.

 

Tears fell from her eyes uncontrollably. She immediately looked down in panic; one hand covering her eyes, rubbing her brow as if she suddenly suffered from attacks of migraine.

 

“Emh…” Her voice was too hoarse, she found. “I can't-” She gulped down a sob, and she couldn't finish what she wanted to say, not when her throat constricted painfully, squeezing this huge lump that she refused to set free. And as if that wasn't enough she started to feel faint; exclamations of worries from the two people in the room sounded to her like incomprehensible drones.

 

She gave in; there was nothing else that she could do except to succumb into the approaching blackness.

AN:

 

About Kagome's facial features' transformation: this is not an imaginative idea of a plot; there is a certain occurrence verifying this issue, which was an episode of a personal experience. I used to have a crush on someone, and it turned out that the special someone liked someone else. Now, I don't know if it was because I had wished to look like the crush of my crush, but as I grew older I began to resemble the… well, you know who I mean. A pathetic story, really, but I don't actually regret the change (and no, it wasn't done under knife), because the one I resemble to was in fact cuter than me (and a whole lot older -I'm not being bitchy, it's a fact-), however, I don't have a crush on that someone anymore, which is quite ironic, actually.

Though in Kagome's case, I make her not to look like Kikyo.

Anyway, happy reading, and please do review. Thank you,

Review Responses

 

AFF.net:

Bree: Thank you for liking the first chapter; I actually thought it was too short, but somehow I felt I had to end it right. Hopefully you like the second one.

Megan Consoer: thank you for your review, and of course I will write more chapters if you like it.

Lithium88: You're the third reviewer! And I'm so happy. I thought this story would get maximally two. Thank you for your nice review, and hopefully I won't deflate your expectations along with the fic-continuance.

Fallenangel7583: You're the famous author who is always nice (I read some of your reviews on other fics by chance); I'm glad you're my reviewer for the first chapter of this story, because I don't think I can handle harshness (I know I'm pathetic). And about Mai's character, I'll explain it along the way. Thank you for your very nice review.

Hello: Sorry for the different name; it's just seemed strange to me if he's reborn with the name Inuyasha. However, in the story all his friends are going to call him Inuyasha, so I don't think that the new name make him less Inuyasha (I'm confused myself). Anyway, thank you for the review and happy reading.
