InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Under the Glow of the Moon ❯ The After Effects ( Chapter 2 )

We'll since im stuck at home today with nothing to do I decided to give you all another chapter…..

 

I hope you like it

Italics mean thoughts

And anything else I think of I'll let you know

DISCLAIMER - The ownership and general brilliance that is Inuyasha and co. remains the property of its honored and revered creator Rumiko Takahashi without whose brilliance we would not have Sesshoumaru….

 

 

 

To say they were surprised would definitely be an understatement, a very LARGE understatement. The looks on everyone's faces ran from deep thought to extreme anger and sadness. What happened to their friend? What caused this change?

 

“Kagome-sama?” Miroku asked, the first to break out of shock. “Kagome-sama, are you feeling alright, and is that really you?”

 

Kagome, finally alert, turned around to look at her friend, setting those now golden eyes upon Miroku.

 

“Of course it's me Miroku, and yes I'm fine. Why do you ask? In fact why are you all looking at me like I've grown an extra head?” Kagome asked worryingly

 

 

“Kagome, do you not feel any different?” her best friend Sango whispered.

 

 

Kagome turned to the friend she considered a sister with fear in her eyes. `What is going on? Why are they all acting like this? Do I feel different? I guess I do, I feel…I feel…I feel stronger and my senses are going haywire…I can smell Inuyasha and everyone else…which um note to self get Inuyasha to take a bath…oh no no no no…getting side tracked…'

 

“I do feel stronger, Sango, if that's what you asking, but will somebody please tell me what is going on?”

 

 

A hand graced her shoulder and she spun round quickly. Falling into who she thought was Inuyasha's arms “Gomen Inu…” but she quickly forgot her word as she looked into the eyes of not Inuyasha but his brother, Sesshoumaru. Her eyes widened at the site of him and her thoughts were all in a jumble. `Ohmigod Sesshoumaru. Oh he's gonna kill me. I fell against Sesshoumaru, why am I still alive?' Sesshoumaru's stoic eyes barred into her soul and she felt… what did she feel?... I feel so safe here. Odd why would I feel safe? Why is he looking at me like that? She felt someone grab her hand and lead her outside to the little river flowing outside of the hut.

 

“Look at your reflection” he said, Kagome felt the command behind the soft words.

 

 

Kagome inched her way toward the small stream and peered at her reflection, her breath hitched at the sight of her own face. Her hair now completely white had grown to reach mid-calf; her eyes, instead of their normal blue, were a deep gold, much like those of the demon standing behind her; beneath her eyes were two shimmering magenta stripes on each cheek, and wrist. Kagome tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and not surprisingly she had the ears of a demon. `Mom is going to kill me. But all in all it could be worse I guess. You know come to think of it, I kinda look like Sesshoumaru. All I'm missing is that crescent on my head and…' Kagome lifted her bangs and much to her surprise upon her head was not a crescent moon but a sun… well I've got myself a sun so close enough, I wonder what it means?'

 

As if reading her thoughts Sesshoumaru stated, “That sun upon your head marks you as the heir of the northern lands.”

 

 

`Oh for the love of… I don't know how much of this I can take.' Her friends filed out of the hut. Her little kitsune pup threw himself at her and she caught him with her brand new reflexes.

 

 

 

“Kagome-sama,” little Shippou cried, “don't leave me.”

“Why would I leave you?”

“Be-be-because *sniff* you are the heir *sob*” and the rest didn't come out because the little kitsune just cried and cried.

“Hush now my little one there will be no talking about me leaving.”

 

 

A sigh of relief passed around her friends. `Why would they think that I would be leaving? Something is going on that I don't know about.' Kagome finally noticed that her hanyou friend had been silent longer than normal, which for him a second of silence is to long.

 

“Inuyasha are you all right?” Kagome asked.

“…”

Kagome walked up to her friend and grasped his chin so that he would look at her. What she saw in those eyes scared her. Fear, pain, and something else that she new personally, betrayal, Inuyasha had the look in his eyes that she herself got when he went off with his Kikyou. `What's with that look? He looks like I've betrayed him. I'm so confused.'

 

“Inuyasha, how can I help if you don't talk to me?” her voice sounded pleadingly.

Well Inuyasha's quiet time finally ended and it ended how they all usually end, with him screaming.

 

“IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT I'M FEELING WHY DON'T YOU JUST GO OFF WITH YOUR LOVE AND BE RID OF US ALL!”

 

And with that he ran off into his namesake forest, hopefully to find Kikyou, if he was lucky.

 

`My love? But Inuyasha, I no longer have one, ever since you chose Kikyou over me.'

 

“Kagome-sama, do you not remember when you woke up who you called your

`love'”, Miroku asked suddenly suspicious of something.

 

“What are you talking about? I never called anyone my love. I do not have a love any longer,” Kagome stated with a hint of sadness in her voice.

 

The western lord felt a tinge of emotion but he could not quite place it, so he filed it away to think about later.

 

Sango walked over to her friend and gave her the biggest hug she could muster and then quietly whispered into her ear, “My sister, you called Sesshoumaru your love and spoke to him as if you had known him more intimately than we know you do.”

“I don't remem…” and then the memories did flood back into her mind, of falling and pain, lots of pain.
