Kagome sighed as she stretched out her body. Last night had been surreal, with Hojo proposing. Kagome got up from her comfy be and walked into her bathroom, only to let out a huge scream. Her family came running, but stopped short after seeing her. She was a hanyou…

Fuzzy black ears were atop her head, fangs, claws, and a fluffy black tail. Her ears had pointed and her eyes were golden. "Mama?"

"Oh, Kagome, what happened?" Her mother came and wrapped her arm around her daughter.

"I-I don't know. Last night, Hojo proposed… and gave me this ring. He said it has been- wha-!" Kagome started.

"Kagome?"

"I-It had a piece of the Shikon no Tama in it! Maybe that's why… Hey where did the jewel shard go?" She looked at the ring which was now just a band of silver around her finger.

"Hey sis…" Sota started, then pointed to her chest, just above her bust. There sat the jewel in her skin.

Inuyasha sighed as he stared at the well. To go get her or not…

"Inuyasha! Go get my Kagome!" Shippo wailed.

"Your Kagome? Ha! You've taken her as your mother!" Inuyasha laughed at the kitsune.

"It's not- huh?" He set to sniffing at the well. "Kagome! But-" Inuyasha grabbed the kitsune and turned back to the well. A clawed hand grasped the edge and out came a inu-hanyou that looked a lot like Kagome.

"Kagome-chan?" Shippo asked.

"Oh! Shippo! Inuyasha! I'm so glad you guys are here! I Shikon shard turned me into an inu-hanyou!" She ran up to them, her eyes pleading. "I can't be a hanyou! I have a date tonight!" Inuyasha set Shippo down and glared at her.

"I'm sorry that fate has messed up your dating life," he growled at her.

"And who are you to talk, after what you said to me yesterday," she growled back, her temper getting to her.

"I only said that because-" He stopped short.

"Well? I'm listening…" she said, still growling.

"I-" He turned away. "If this is what fate had planned then deal with it. If your little boyfriend doesn't like it then stay here!"

"I don't want to stay here with someone who so obviously hates my company!" Kagome yelled back. While they argued Shippo ran to get Miroku and Sango. Back at the fight tears had formed in Kagome's eyes.

"Why can't you just be nice to me, all I've ever wanted to do is help you!" With that the tears began to flow freely.

"K-Kagome…" He went to her and wrapped his arms around her. Her new scent was wonderful to him. "Kagome, I'm sorry…" She sniffled.

"T-That's all you had to say," with that she snuggled into him. "I never realized you smelled like the woods and wind…" He blushed.
