Why did she sound so amused? "Who are you?"
She turned to him, her eyes a pale silver compared to their normal blue-gray. "I am the woman who travels with Inu Yasha. You know that."
"Do not give me that, I can smell the magic clinging to you. Who are you?"
"Why do you want to know?" She laughed, "Do you care for me?"
What the hell was she talking about?
"KAGOME!" Inu Yasha burst onto the scene Tetsusaiga already drawn. "Sesshoumaru what have you done to her?"
"Nothing other than follow this odd scent."
"Odd scent!" She sounded outraged, like she was Kagome again, but Sesshoumaru knew better. "Why I oughta! Inu Yasha I came out of the well and he was there! He was chasing me!"
"What!?"
The demon prince stepped toward her. "Stop lying woman."
"Keep him away from me!"
"Sesshoumaru!" Inu Yasha charged toward his brother only to be shot back by Sesshoumaru's whip. He got up to his knees and stopped. Kagome was... laughing?
"Inu Yasha," Sesshoumaru said not looking away from Kagome who was standing right infront of him. "You had best silence your woman."
Kagome laughed harder. "HIS woman! You know very well I'm not his woman." With movement much faster than she should have been able to muster she grabbed the hilt of Sesshoumaru's oni sword and lept away. She laughed, "Thanks for the souvineer." She blew a kiss to Inu Yasha. "See you later." The brothers watched in a mixture of awe and anger as Kagome rose into the air and dissapeared.
"What?"
"You fool, that is no longer the woman you know. She's been possessed."
"What?"
"You are an idiot Inu Yasha, could you not smell the stench of your last kill on her?"
"You mean..."
"Yes, and now she has my sword. No thanks to you."
"I didn't see you stopping her!" Sesshoumaru narrowed his eyes at this brother then took off into the air. Leaving Inu Yasha to yell at him down below. He growled on last time in the direction of the sky and ran back to the village, maybe Miroku or Kaede knew of some kind of cure.

"She what!?"
"That's what he said, and when I think about it it makes sense. I was just too worried to notice it." The dog boy punched a hole in the ground. "Chikusho! I should have noticed!"
"Don't blame yourself Inu Yasha." Sango said from across the fire. "I'm sure we'll find her, and Kaede and Miroku know something I'm sure." She turned to them hopefully.
"I'm not so sure..." Miroku said looking at the ground. "She does have three shikon shards after all."
"So we need to get the shards from her first?" Inu Yasha asked.
"If we can get them from her without-"
Miroku was cut off when Inu Yasha grabbed the front of his clothes. "THAT is not going to happen! We'll get them then you and Kaede will turn her back!" His voice quited, "I won't let Kagome die like that."
