Ch 3

“Damn wench…” he mumbled as he sat in the dirt sulking after being sat. Feh. I actually showmy worry for her and she sits me. Wench.

“Feh.” He turned up his nose to show anybody who was looking that he didn't care what happened. Even though he did.

A small breeze danced with Inuyasha's senses and he shot his eyes open and…

“AWWWWWW!” Kagome screamed off in the distance cueing Inuyasha to run for her.

As he came into view of her he stopped dead in his tracks and just stared at the being before him. “K-k-kagome?” he said softly. She turned to him with a terrified look holding her hair which was now white and for some reason longer. Her hair draped over her shoulders so she wasn't vulnerable to him. He gasped as he looked into her dark chocolate eyes. Which weren't chocolate but as deep and vibrant a gold as his own with faint brown highlights through them.

“Inuyasha…look at me.” After she turned around he realized that she was naked (still couldn't see her) and after seeing her eyes he looked off to the side so he couldn't see her at all. “Look at me.” She said a little more serious which made him slowly turn to meet her gaze. Kagome breathed deep and sighed softly.

“Inuyasha, what do you see?” questioning crossed his face.

“I mean is there anything different about me?” plead was in her voice like the answer meant her life. After a long pause Inuyasha worked up the nerve to answer her.

“Umm, yo…your hair is…is…white…” he trailed off waiting for her response. Her face was blank. “Anything else.” She urged.

“Your eyes are…your eyes…are…gold.” Again he waited and also being a little uneasy about what he was seeing before him.

“What about on my head…” he looked surprised as he looked on top of her head. He didn't answer her.

“Inuyasha answer me, I can hear your heart beating dramatically and your aura is dancing with scared and confused emotion. Now tell me.”

How does she know this? How did her sense become so great? She is only a weak human. She shouldn't be able to tell what is going on with my emotions or here my heart beat so damn LOUD. He screamed in his head while searching for words to describe what he saw.

“Kagome, you…you…yo…sigh feel the sides of your head.” She did and emotion crossed her face and she looked at him horrified. “Now move your hands to the top of your head.” Again she obeyed and what she found wasn't what she wanted to feel.

Two soft pointed ears as white as her present hair twitched at her touch. “AWWWWW” her cry was shrill and made both of them cringe.

She fainted down into the water but didn't go under. Inuyasha had grabbed her wrist and pulled her out of the water and she lay limp on the ground. Inuyasha turned away a little embarrassed and took off his haori and wrapped it around her body and took off back to the village with her so that Kaede could interpret what was going on.

“My GOD!” Inuyasha had never heard Kaede swear let alone that. She looked at the unconscious girl lying on the floor of her hut.

“Is this…Kagome-sama?” Inuyasha nodded to the old miko.

“Well I'm not sure but this may have to do with the bite she received.” Kaede inspected Kagome's arm for the remains of the bite. “Not a trace. This is remarkable.”

Suddenly something clicked in Inuyasha's head. “Kaede-baba, she…no…she can't be…”

Kaede looked at him. “What? What is it?”

“She has all the traits of an Inu-youkai, but she has ears like mine which is the symbol of being half Inu-youkai. So…I don't know.”

Kaede gasped. “Of course. Why didn't I think of this before? The poison in his bite only kills normal girls. Kagome-sama isn't just any normal girl. She is a miko. So other than getting most the poison out her powers got rid of the rest but somehow left side effects.” She paused to let Inuyasha contemplate what she was saying before she went on.

“The side-effects must be her taking form of what gave her the bite.”

“But how? And she didn't turn into a full youkai. I can still smell her human scent.”

“Of course Inuyasha. It is like the human with youkai breeding. A full youkai bite her but she is full human so it splits right down the middle.”

“Oh.” He was still in aw at what had happened and still didn't understand why it happened but it really shouldn't amaze him with knowing a monk with an air void in his hand and a dead miko roaming the earth. “Well then what do we do? Can you reverse it.?”

“I'm not sure if I can.”

After that Shippou, Miroku and Sango walked in only to scare the life out of very one in the hut after seeing their beloved friend with her new features. It took forever to explain what Inuyasha and Kaede had just been talking about.

“So let me get this straight the bite caused all this?” Miroku had a very puzzled look on his face.

“Hm so she is half youkai now?”

“Indeed Shippou, she is. I really doubt that you can reverse it Kaede-sama. I've seen similar cases. Well as close as it can get.” Sango explained to Kaede.

“How has she taken the news?”

“She doesn't know yet. When I went after her after I smelled a change in her scent I found her and she was so terrified. When she felt the ears on her head she fainted.” This is all because I didn't protect her. I just wasn't fast enough…not good enough. Inuyasha just sat in his usual corner with a look of shame that questioned everyone except Kaede.

“Inuyasha, you must think it was your fault. Hm you cant protect her all the time. She will grow stronger after this experience I'm sure.” Kaede had said it so solemnly Inuyasha just looked with eyes that now showed sadness.

“Still I can't help but think that I could have stopped it. If I wouldn't have let her go bathe so far from my protection.”

If my temper hadn't affected her she wouldn't experience this pain.
