I don't own Inuyasha. I'm not very sure on all of the characters' names, considering I just started watching the show. Anyway, please enjoy the first chapter! ^_____^



Chapter 1: The Symptoms...


*Kagome and Inuyasha have officially found all of the jewel shards in this story!*


A full moon, now passed, allowed Inuyasha to show his true powers against his foes once again. It was night time in feudal Japan, and another demon decided to show up and try to steal the jewel shards from Kagome. This demon took the form of a large dragon, equipped with large fangs and claws, and the powers of black magic. As the demon stomped towards Inuyasha and Kagome, its black scales shined like obsidian from the moon's reflection, and its eyes began to glow a blood red. "Give me the jewel!" The dragon roared, causing the ground to tremble. Inuyasha looked up at the huge creature, a smirk appearing on his face, "You'll have to get through me first!" The demon began to cackle loudly, "This should be simple enough..."

Before the battle began, Inuyasha turned to Kagome, "I suggest you get out of here now." Kagome gave a slight nod as she ran towards the village, making Inuyasha turn back to face the gigantic demon. As Inuyasha went into his fighting stance, the demon began to chuckle. "What are you laughing about?" Inuyasha asked angrily. "A half demon like you has the guts to oppose my superior strength? You truly are a pitiful creature...," The large demon said. Inuyasha gave out a loud growl as he clenched his fists, his anger beginning to consume him.

Now angered, Inuyasha jumped as high as he could, slashing the dragon across the face. Once landing back onto the ground, Inuyasha noticed that the demon was laughing. "Whats so funny!?" Inuyasha yelled. The demon wiped off the small amount of blood on his face with his finger, "That was the most pathetic attack I have ever seen! You really are a weak being!"

As the demon continued to taunt him, Inuyasha began to feel...different. His vision began to blur and his perfect hearing began to fade. "What's...happening to me?" Inuyasha said in his mind. Suddenly, an intense pain shot through Inuyasha's chest, causing him to double over as he fell to his knees. "What's this?" The demon questioned, raising an eyebrow at the way Inuyasha was acting.

From the village, Kagome noticed that the large demon wasn't fighting Inuyasha. "What's going on?" She asked herself as she walked as close as she could to where Inuyasha and the demon fought. "Where's Inuyasha?" Kagome asked nervously as she tried to find him.

Hearing Kagome's nervous tone in her voice, lady Kaede quickly walked over to her. "What's wrong child?" Kagome quickly turned her head to Kaede, "I think there's something wrong with Inuyasha..." Both Kaede and Kagome glanced over at where Inuyasha and the giant demon were fighting. "Oh my!" Kaede shouted nervously. "What's wrong?" Kagome asked nervously.

Kaede quickly pointed at the scene, "Look there my child." Kagome followed Kaede's finger, gasping at the sight, "Inuyasha!" Inuyasha was still doubled over on the ground, clutching his chest while hissing in pain. "I...got...to continue...fighting!" Inuyasha said, trying his best to stand. As he did, the pain grew stronger, causing him to fall back down.

Not only was the pain intensifying, but it looked as if Inuyasha was transforming back into his human form. "He's changing!" Kaede yelled, her eyes wide in shock. A sheer look of fear appeared on Kagome's face as she noticed what was happening, "If he's turning back into his human form...that means..." Kaedelooked at Kagome, then turning back to Inuyasha, "He will become vulnerable...giving the demon an advantage in this battle..."
