Chapter Four
The Kagome Effect

Kagome's eyes shot open and her breath hitched 'Was the potion effecting me too?' she thought alarmingly. Normally Kagome was not a very sexual person she was never one to crave a person's touch so much that she could not control her body. Not even with Inuyasha was she so amorous, not even when they kissed. 'So why do I feel this way now and more to the point why do I feel this way towards Sesshomaru and not Inuyasha the boy I love?' she asked herself confusingly she was clueless as to what was going on. 'Sure Sesshomaru was sexy and sure he had the body of a sex god, but Kuso that does not mean I have to drool all over him! I mean come on his feelings for me are not even real.' she tried to convince herself so she didn't start to actually like him. She was already embarrassed that her friends saw her with him and she did not even realize they had landed, 'So embarrassing that was!' she thought in shame.


He found it amusing that she was so distracted with the feel of his body that she did not even realize she was back with her friends. He saw their faces and knew if he did not alert Kagome now there may be a screaming match so he bent to her ear and whispered "Kagome, you can let go now, we landed five minutes ago." he said breathily, he spoke like that on purpose he wanted her to know what it would feel like to have him so close but he held back.


Upon hearing his words she 'eeped' then jumped backwards and away from him as fast as she could resulting in her falling on her rear end. She could have sworn she'd seen laughter in his eyes as he looked at her 'Damn him that smug bastard!' she fumed while standing and brushing the dirt from her rear.

Sesshomaru left them soon after that much to Kagome's relief. As soon as he left she was bombarded with questions from her friends.


They sat by a fire all waiting to hear the story on what had happened to make Sesshomaru act the way he was. Kagome sat with her hands in her lap fiddling with her fingers nervously "Ok well it all happened when I left to look for Inuyasha. When I had learned where he was I left to give him privacy, I was kidnapped on my way back to the village. I had learned that she kidnapped me to use the Shikon in a potion at the time I did not know what type of potion. When I found out she captured him I knew I had to escape because it was my fault. When I had managed to break the door down I left to find him but I had sensed the Shikon and decided to get that first because it was more important. I found it within a pot so I took it out. Once I had the jewel I put it safely away and went to find Sesshomaru. When I had found him I knew something was wrong but I did not waste time dwelling on it, so I just took his hand and ran. It was then that the youkai witch who kidnapped me showed up she was screaming about how the potion was suppose to make him love her, but when I showed up I activated it by accident. Once we left her palace he brought me here." Kagome informed them in the short version of what had happened.


Inuyasha still red faced in anger he spat "That still does not explain you hanging all over him!"


Miroku interrupted "Doesn't it Inuyasha?" he said before Sango voiced the question everyone else was thinking.


"What do you mean monk?" Sango asked she too wondered why Kagome would act like that towards someone she was supposed to hate.


Miroku purged his lips thoughtfully "Kagome-sama had said she took the shards from a pot, I am inclined to think it was the very same pot she brewed the love potion. Which would explain why she was acting so unlike herself, maybe she should bathe to remove the potion from her person. It may just wash the effects away seeing as how the potion was not meant for her."


Once Miroku had finished his theory Inuyasha jumped up and walked towards Kagome. Once he reached her he could faintly scent the potion on her skin "I can smell the potion, you should bathe now." he told her pointing his finger in the direction of water.


Now she was embarrassed, 'If he can smell the potion then he could smell the… Oh God!' she was well aware what her body did when she was flying with Sesshomaru and now she knew Inuyasha was aware of it as well. 'Damn dogs and there damn noses!' she thought in heated embarrassment as her face tinted red as proof of her feelings. Figuring the advice as 'good' she decided not to argue on his way of telling her to bathe.

Kagome was back at the campfire within a half hour, which was a good time for her. She did not want to linger and she knew the longer she did the more conversation she would have missed but to her surprise though they were silently waiting her to return. She sat down in the same place she sat previously and cleared her throat; gaining the attention of her companions. "Ok now what? I have to figure away to counter the curse. We cannot allow him to run around being in love with me!" she told them her voice conveying her displeasure at the idea.


Inuyasha was the first to respond rather rudely "Feh' Damn it he deserves it! Why should we go out of our way to help the bastard?" he said not really grasping the point of what Kagome had said, but as always Miroku was the voice of wisdom.


"She is right Inuyasha, it is dangerous for Kagome-sama to even be here in this era with an obsessive youkai lord after something other than her life." he said the last part with an eyebrow wiggle.


The suggestive wiggle was not lost on any of them as all but Kagome paled with horror…Kagome reddened with embarrassment, with her modern way of thinking she grasped perfectly what the lecherous mind of Miroku was thinking.

The good thing she deduced from Miroku's comment was that she no longer felt that weird pulsing feeling between her thighs. 'So it was the potion that turned me into a hentai.' she thought relieved knowing that Miroku and his habits had not rubbed off on her.

What Kagome did not understand was the mechanics of the potion, it made Sesshomaru obsessed but he was not overly lusty 'Like I was feeling.' she pondered embarrassed by her behavior earlier that day with the youkai lord. She continued to muse on the effects she felt while she was under the effects of the potion 'I don't know why I acted as I did; I mean I remember perfectly the way I felt. Every touch and look he sent at me made me want him, but why would it not make me love him as the potion was suppose to work?' she had so many questions and not enough answers, she hoped that this mess would all be fixed soon.

Kagome was jarred from her thoughts as she heard the familiar thump that told her the monk just 'fell' unconscious. She smiled and shook her head. "Some things never change." she whispered as Sango blushed when she heard Kagome's comment. Their discussion ended on that note and they all laid down to rest. They all knew that they would have a hard day tomorrow.

0ooo0

Once he left Kagome with her group he returned to Jaken and Rin to make sure they were alright. Once he was insured of their safety his mind began to wander back to the girl he just left. 'She is a strange woman, why do I feel this way about her?' he did not understand what the feelings that were even now swirling in him meant, nor did he care to find out. Knowing that still did nothing to curb his curiosity about her 'Why do I feel the need to be with her now? Why is it that my chest is tight with the thought of her being with Inuyasha?' he knew that she loved his half brother, that much was obvious to him and to anyone else with eyes. 'Maybe I should find her; if only to watch over her as she sleeps.' he thought.

"Jaken watch Rin." He ordered then he began his walk out of their camp. Once he was out of visual and hearing range he sped up to a full run.

It did not take him long to locate her campsite, they were not too far from where he had left her company. He masked his aura and scent before approaching the camp; he did not want Inuyasha to know he was there at the moment. Taking his post in a tree closest to the girl he watched her as she slept 'She is beautiful she looks like an angel.' he thought while gazing lovingly at her features. As he watched her sleep he could not help but wonder what she was dreaming about 'Is she dreaming of me? Or of the hanyou?' he thought the last part with distaste he did not like the idea of someone he wanted for himself to be dreaming or thinking of anybody other than him!

Kagome's Dream


Dressed in her school uniform she was running up the hall of her school, she was fifteen again. Kagome knew she was late for class and started to feel nervous, she hated being late. Everyone would stop what they were doing just to stare at the person coming in late from the bell.
Kagome released a sigh of relief as she approached the door to her classroom, when she realized she did not know what class this was. For some reason she could not remember anything, it was like she forgot that she even took the bus to school from the shrine this morning.

With that weird thought she opened the door, and as expected everyone stopped what they were doing and stared at her as she closed the door behind her. When she turned they were still staring only now though they were laughing as well. She looked at them oddly not understanding what was so funny about her being late, when a comment from a class mate gave her pause.


"Hey Kagome you decide to wear your birthday suit to class today?" the boy in the front with light brown hair asked her laughing.


With a quizzical look to the boy she looked down "EEEP!!" she screeched in embarrassment. One second ago she was wearing her uniform and now she stood bare naked in front of the whole class.


End Kagome's Dream

Kagome's eyes shot opened then down to her chest, she released a pleased noised when she saw cloths and laid back down. Closing her eyes she tried to focus on the sounds of the crickets in the forest to lull her back to sleep.


He watched in curiosity as the miko woke up in a rush, by the looks of it she was having a nightmare. He could smell the scent of her fear and embarrassment with a hint of confusion then finally her relief.
All night he watched her not once moving from his spot in the tree.
