I just read the first 7 chapters of "Change" by RageSugar on FF.net. It is amazing. Any superlative you can think of apply to this story. For those of you who like your Sess harsh, this one is for you. If you liked "Madman", this one is for you. I had to take a break from reading (I'm about halfway through what has been posted) to tell everyone about this story. Believe me, it's so good it hurts. Well, gotta go. Back to reading the rest of this story...

Thanks for the tip. As soon as I finished Oroyukae's new fic I headed over to FF.net. The fic is as you said. I found myself hooked after the first chapter. Looks like Kagome's geneology has a youkai bloodline too. I gather it's hard to distinguish her scent because she has the spiritual bloodline also. That's my guess anyway and why Sesshoumaru isn't saying any more than what he has said, I think, is because he's waiting for the proof that his suspicions about her are correct. Could Aikawa be a modern day Naraku?
