Something was wrong. Kagome just knew it. When she woke up that morning she felt different. She felt more, if that was possible. The world was more vibrant, vivid, louder, and it stank. Kagome wrinkled her nose. Just her luck, something always seemed to happen to her. She wondered if it was one of the new miko spells she had been learning recently had gone wrong. Kagome wouldn’t put it past herself to have messed one up. It always happened. Shrugging Kagome grabbed her new pack; she would think about it later and maybe talk to Kaede. Having stuffed her pack with everything except the food, Kagome headed down stairs to the kitchen.
Kagome scratched at a spot above her fore head absently as she made her way into the kitchen. It itched and so did a couple of other spots; one was just a few inches away from the first and the third was right above her tail bone. Kagome moved quickly through the house and nearly ran over Souta in her hurry.
“Sorry,” Kagome apologized hurriedly as she stuffed packages of ramen and a few other non-perishable items such as jerky and trail mix in the bag.
“Umm… Sis?”
“Hmm?”
“Did you dye your hair last night?” Souta asked.
“No,” Kagome said glancing up from her pack. “Why?”
“Well, because… Why don’t you just go look in the mirror,” Souta said as tactfully as he could.
“Why?”
“Just go look.”
“Fine,” Kagome sighed and made her way to the mirror in the hall.
Kagome gasped, touching her hair gently as if to see if it was real. Her previously black hair was now tinged a deep, blood red, and as she looked she noticed her normally blue eyes had taken on a red-purple tint. Kagome burst into hysterical laughter that quickly devolved into tears; this was just not her day.
“I’m just going to have to go earlier now and talk to Kaede. She may know what’s happening,” Kagome said to Souta. “I’ll see you later?”
“Yeah, later, Sis,” Souta said just a bit despondently.
“Aww, don’t be that way Souta. You know I wouldn’t go earlier for anything less than well… this,” Kagome said waving her hand at herself. She hugged Souta. “Bye-bye, Lil’ Bro.”
Kagome grabbed her bag and walked out the door. She waved for the last time, before closing the door behind her. Hurrying across the shrine grounds to the well house, Kagome slipped in quietly. She climbed over the lip of the well and let go, disappearing in a flash of blue light.
“Oh God,” Kagome gasped as she appeared in the bottom of the well. ‘It itches!’
Kagome dropped her bag and rubbed her back against the side of the well fast and hard. Wait…Kagome paused. Were those nubs between her shoulder blades? She had to talk to Kaede now.
Kagome slipped her bag onto her back. Ok. That didn’t help at all. In fact it made it itch more. She began her ascent at a fast past, hoping that the itching wouldn’t get any worse.
Kagome pulled herself out of the well and looked around. Of course, Inuyasha wasn’t here. She growled in frustration and headed off to the village.
It was nearly dark by time Kagome reached Kaede’s hut. Kagome knocked gently on the door frame. She could hear the sounds of movement and shuffling inside.
“Ye may come in,” Kaede called gruffly.
“Hello, Kaede-sama.”
“Hello and good eve to ye, Kagome.”
“Good eve to you too, Kaede-sama,” Kagome said smiling warmly at the old miko
“What brings ye here so early child?” Kaede paused as she took in Kagome’s new appearance and asked, “And what happened to thy hair?”
“Well it started this morning,” Kagome began and told Kaede everything that she could remember from the strange way she felt when she woke up till then. By the time Kagome finished it was completely dark outside and a fire crackled merrily in the pit.
“Hmmm,” Kaede hummed as she pondered Kagome’s predicament. “There are a few possibilities. It could be the affects of one of thy spells. It could be a curse placed upon thee. Or it could be something else all together. Let’s try an identifying spell. It shall have to be tomorrow, it is too late tonight. For now we shall sleep.”
Kagome nodded in agreement. Unstrapping her sleeping bag from her pack; Kagome rolled it out and slipped in with just barely a rustle. She closed her eyes and sighed in tired, sleepy discontent. Sleep fast overcame her and she knew no more.

The kiss was unlike any Kagome had ever had before. It was hard and demanding. It was wet, slick with heat. His tongue prodded at the crease of her lips demanding entrance, her shock kept her frozen. Growling in annoyance at her non-compliance he forced her jaw open and his tongue plunged into her mouth tasting, teasing, driving her insane, making her respond. He released her jaw, sliding his hands down her neck and shoulders to cup her breasts.
He flicked her nipples with his thumbs, bringing them to pebbled peaks. Kagome gasped arching against him as sharp, electric pleasure shot through body settling between her legs in heady thrum.
He pulled his mouth away from hers as his hands caressed her sides as they moved ever downward. His mouth fastened to the juncture of her neck licking, nibbling, sucking. Kagome writhed beneath him her hands smoothing across his chest circling ever lower searching for something more. She grasped his hot length, making him growl in pleasure.
Kagome gasped in shock as a finger teased her wet, molten fold sending pleasure jolting through body. She arched, fingers digging into his back, hand tightening around his turgid erection.

Kagome bolted upright her face flushed with both embarrassment and arousal, gasping for much needed air. She shuddered; the dream had been so real, so vivid. There was a deep, needy ache within her core but even beyond that, she could feel her body desperately craving something unnamable.
Kagome decided, gathering her supplies, she needed a bath then and there. Maybe it would help calm her down and help with the constant itching. Kagome quietly left the confines of Kaede’s hut and headed for the hot springs, her arousal a constant ache that only worsened with her walking.
Kagome reached the hot springs in record time, highly aroused and frustrated. She stripped carefully and moaned as her clothing rubbed against her overly sensitive skin. Kagome dropped her clothes near the edge and slipped into the water and tried to settle into a meditative trance; tried being the operative word.
A sound in the bushes startled her. Half-lidded eyes watched the bushes move, twitching with each movement. A male humanoid dragon youkai short in stature appeared from the bushes. His eyes landed upon Kagome and he studied her in interest.
Something seemed to come alive in Kagome, curling around her and leaving her mind in a haze. Kagome sniffed the air. He smelled exquisite. Kagome pounced. An ‘oomph’ escaped the dragon youkai. A rumbling purr reverberated through her, making her shudder in pleasure from the vibrations. The male’s eyes narrowed as he stared up at the purring female atop him.
“Hmmm… You’re one of those are you? This shall be fun,” he said as his hands stroked up and down her sides, causing her to purr harder. He kissed her jus beneath her ear. “You might want to find your true mate after this,” he said as he nibbled on her ear lobe, “because your kind tend to go insane shortly after the full transformation if they don’t, but I think I shall have some fun first,” he murmured as his breath caressed her. He kissed her, a harsh mixture of pleasure and pain. “By the way,” he said pulling from the kiss, “I’m Keiji,” and slammed his lips against hers again. Keiji pinched her nipples and gently rubbed his thumbs against them in a soothing manner before pinching them again even more harshly this time, causing her to cry out and arch against him. Keiji pulled away and flipped her onto her back. He gazed down at her in admiration.
“Beautiful,” Keiji whispered. He leaned down and bit her abused nipples sharply. Kagome whimpered in frustration as she writhed beneath him. “Shhh,” he said, licking her nipple soothing away the hurt.
“Kagome! Kagoooomeeee!”
Kagome whined in protest at the interruption. Never had she wanted to hurt Inuyasha than she did in that moment. She rubbed against Keiji in frustration.
“Hmmm,” Keiji hummed around her nipples. He pulled away from the red swollen peaks and looked up at her pleased. “So Kagome is your name? We’ll have to continue this another time,” Keiji said with one last hot, wet kiss and disappeared once more into the bushes. Kagome sighed. She was going to kill Inuyasha.
Kagome returned to the spring and finished her bath as quickly as possible. She didn’t realize that anytime before today she would have been horrified at her behavior but it hadn’t even crossed her mind.
Once Kagome finished her bath she quickly dressed. She vaguely hoped that Inuyasha wouldn’t notice anything. What that anything would be Kagome really didn’t know, but a girl could hope couldn’t she? With one last look at the bushes Kagome turned and left still aroused and very, very frustrated.
Yes, Kagome decided as she idly rubbed the itching tips of her fingers, Inuyasha would have a very slow and painful death.
