Love of the Wind
Chapter 2 – Blood Bonding
"Yusuke, can I meet you at Genkai's in a few days, I need to talk to my feudal family about training while I'm there." Kagome and Yusuke had been walking towards Kagome's house whilst sharing their stories, Yusuke talked about his job as a spirit detective and how he got there and Kagome talked about the feudal era, how it was to live in, she mentioned her friends but not by name and that she would need training from them.
"Sure, hey why don't you bring them to this era?" Yusuke asked her. Kagome shook her head,
"if I were to do that, than some of the family lines will be stuffed up and people will not have existed." Yusuke frowned,
"well the demons will not have died yet, but your human friends will have. Unless you do a blood bonding ceremony, then they will have the life span and abilities of a demon, well that's what I read in the friggin book Kurama shoved in my face." Kagome brightened up,
"Hey Yusuke, what happened to all the demons anyway, surely they aren't all dead?" Yusuke shook his head
"no they are all in a place called the Makai." Yusuke then went on to tell Kagome what he knew about the Makai.
They soon reached Kagome's house, "thanks Yusuke, I'll be at Genkai's in a few days." Yusuke responded with: "yeah, whatever."
Kagome
"I'm back mum." Kagome said as she walked in the door.
"Welcome home, how did your shopping go?" Kagome's mother asked. Kagome froze
"Damn, I knew I forgot to do something." Kagome's mother Aria was shocked, how could she forget the only thing she set out to do.
"Kagome, didn't you go into town to do shopping, how could you have forgotten?" Kagome looked at her mother,
"I ran into some demon and I was thinking about what that hanyou did." Aria sighed, I thought Inuyasha was a nice man, but I guess not.
"Mum, I need to leave for a while; I have to prepare for an upcoming battle." Aria sighed,
"Who will tell me if you get hurt or are dead, Inuyasha isn't with you anymore and your friends can't come through the well." Kagome looked at her mother and chuckled slightly,
"Mum, this battle is in this era." Seeing the confused look on her mother's face, she continued,
"I found out from a boy called Yusuke that all the demons live in a place called the Makai, it's another dimension and there is a barrier to stop demons from getting to this world. Some slip through and Yusuke and his friends' job is to track down and hand those demons over to spirit world." Aria was still confused but she let it go.
"Are you going to the feudal era first?" she asked her daughter. Kagome nodded,
"yeah, I want to tell them I will be gone for a few months." Then she remembered about the blood bonding ceremony,
"Ah, I can tell them about the blood bonding while I'm there as well. Then they might do that while I'm away, if they agree to it." Kagome ran up to her room and started packing.
Yusuke
While Kagome was preparing to go to the feudal era, Yusuke was walking home to tell his mother where he would be for the next few months. That was going to be a pain. He then remembered what Kurama said to him earlier that evening - Was it only a few hours ago? – about feeling strange energy when Kagome bumped into him.
"Oh, well doesn't matter."
Kagome
Kagome finished packing and headed downstairs
"Mum, I'm heading off, I'll be back in a few days, and then I'm heading to Genkai's for 2 months." Aria walked from the kitchen over to her daughter, she grabbed her daughter's hands and smiled,
"you have grown up beautifully Kagome. You have done so much in the 3 years you have been in the feudal era. I am so proud of you, come back after the two months just before you leave again." Kagome nodded at her mother and smiled.
"I will mother."
The women hugged and Kagome headed out the door to the well house, she jumped down and was surrounded by the usual bluish purple light and suddenly she was in the feudal era once again. She threw her bag over the lip of the well and jumped up leaping over the edge and onto the grass. I really gotta thank my teachers, Sango, Miroku, Kouga, Sesshoumaru and Genkai. They have taught me so much.
Kagome whipped her head around at the sound of a rustling bush; before the girl had time to defend herself a small blur tackled her to the ground. Kagome was about to rip her attacker off when the voice of her son cut in,
"I got you this time mother!" Shippou sang as he laughed. Kagome sighed in relief
"Shippou, I nearly attacked you; you'd better be more careful next time." Shippou jumped off her and looked down rubbing the back of his head.
"Sorry mother." Kagome smiled and nodded showing shippou it was alright.
Kagome picked up her kit and started towards the village, she was telling shippou what happened in the modern era and what she had to do, she also told shippou about what Inuyasha did.
"We didn't want to talk about him near Kikyo and none of us were relaxed enough to talk without getting angry and wanting to go after him. That's why we didn't tell you." Shippou and Kagome continued talking about random things to pass the time on the way to the village.
Once they got there, the time traveller filled in her friends about Toguro and the dark tournament.
"So, I came here to tell you guy's that I won't be back for a few months." They nodded in acknowledgement. Kagome then told them about what happened to all the demons and how they were being kept in line. Sango was the one to speak up.
"I believe it is a good this that demons and humans were separated. Whoever had the idea was brilliant, but to lose knowledge that they exist is…" Sango couldn't find the right word to describe it but everyone got what she was talking about.
Kagome then gasped and straightened up. This made everyone else defensive, Miroku pulled his staff up, Sango reached for her Hiraikotsu, Kirara growled, Kikyo reached for her bow and arrows and Shippou tensed on his mother's lap. Kagome giggled at their actions and they soon realised there was no danger.
"Sorry guys, but I remembered something Yusuke and I chatted about on the way home. Has anyone heard of Blood bonding?" Sango nodded but everyone else shook their heads, Sango told them what it was.
"Blood bonding is something humans and demons do together to help out the human." Seeing the confused looks she was getting, she continued.
"A demon has to willingly share their blood with the human in a ceremony or ritual so that the human can live a long powerful life. That's all I know." Everyone looked back at Kagome who was nodding,
"Yusuke told me that if you guys did a blood bonding ceremony, than you could live a very long time and be able to live in the modern era." She said. Sango shook her head while smiling
"Yes but we would need a demon willing to do it, a powerful one as well. The more powerful the longer the person lives." Everyone started trying to think of demons that would help, Sango then added a piece of information that no one expected,
"When the human and demon bond, they become like a family." Kagome's head shot up and a wide grin played on her face,
"I know who we should bond with! But first Sango is there a limit to how many demons can bond with one human?" Sango had a thoughtful expression on her face,
"I don't think so." Kagome's grin widened further, she then leaned forward and whispered who they should bond with. Everyone's head shot up and eyes widened then they all broke out into devilish smiles.
It was night and Kouga was out relaxing, watching the clouds when he caught sight of a bright pink spark. He knew exactly what it was; it was a signal that he, Sesshoumaru and Kagome had decided upon to contact each other. He jumped up and ran to his den, telling the Guard he'd be back and that Ginta was in charge till then. Kouga ran towards where the spark was when he came across Sesshoumaru who was leading Ah Un with Rin on the back. (Jaken had been left behind at Sesshoumaru's castle)
"What do you think is up, Sesshoumaru?" Kouga asked him when the met up. Sesshoumaru shrugged
"It's obviously not life threatening otherwise there would have been more sparks, or fireworks as Kagome calls them." Kouga nodded. They walked at a pace that wasn't too fast or too slow. Rin had fallen asleep with the rocking movement of Ah Un and Kouga was chatting with Sesshoumaru about their lands. Kouga had been made the lord of the eastern lands so he and Sesshoumaru discussed many things.
It took them half a day to reach the village, when they got there the found Kagome waiting for them.
"How are you my brothers?" she asked. Before she beat Naraku, Kagome asked Kouga to train her, during her train Kouga realised she was more of a sister than a girlfriend and gave up on trying to take her as his mate. After losing a battle against Naraku, she came across Sesshoumaru, Kagome asked him to train her and he did so, slowly she learned everything and they became as close as siblings. After Naraku's defeat they meet up occasionally, like at parties held at the castles of the eastern and western lands. They became like family.
"We are good Kagome, but what have you called us here for?" Sesshoumaru asked. Kagome grinned and Kouga found himself feeling nervous, he glanced at Sesshoumaru and saw the same look on his face.
"Come this way." Said Kagome and she started walking off, knowing her brothers would follow.
The three reached the house that Kagome owned. After Naraku was defeated, the villager built Kagome a house, more like a mansion in Kagome's opinion, and she lived in it with her friends. When they went through the doors to the living room, both Kouga and Sesshoumaru felt like walking right back out. There sitting in the living room was group that defeated Naraku, minus Inuyasha, and they all had suspicious grins on their faces.
"Come sit down." Said Kagome, she say the looks on her guests faces and told the others to stop their 'silly grinning'.
"We have asked you here for a reason, the reason is we want to blood bond with you!" Kagome said cheerily. Sesshoumaru and Kouga were both shocked, so Kagome started the story again so they would understand.
"So, I know the well is going to close up soon after only a few more visits and I won't be allowed back through so I wanted to be able to see you guy's again, plus, I want to be real family with you guys!" she finished. The two demon lords looked at each other, they both agreed before she even started her story but they wanted to know how she knew of the blood bonding and what happened to all the demons in the future so they let her tell the story.
"The only thing you have been misinformed of, is that after the blood bond you aren't human with demon blood, you are a demon." Kouga stated. The group nodded, they had prepared for this while waiting for the two to arrive. Miroku spoke up.
"a good thing about this is that we can help protect the lands." The demons and humans alike nodded at this as they thought it was a very good point.
Kikyo had been wondering about something after she saw the sleeping Rin getting taken off Ah Un and onto the floor to sleep.
"Lord Sesshoumaru, are you going to perform the blood bond with Rin?" all head turned to Rin, who as if on que started waking up.
"It would be a good idea Sesshoumaru; if we are bonded like a family we could help care for her as well." Kagome added. The demon in question nodded his head in agreement.
Later that night, the group gathered around in a circle with a massive bowl in the middle. Each in turn, cut their wrists and added their blood to the bowl. Rin, as she was the last to put her blood in, looked to Sesshoumaru as if asking what to do next.
"Now everyone has to drink from the bowl, just one mouthful will do." He told them. The bowl travelled around the circle each drinking their amount. Once everyone had drunken their amount, there was a little left, so not wasting it, Sango put it evenly into nine bowls and handed them out, all at the same time, they gulped down the blood. After everyone had put the bowls back on the ground, Kouga spoke
"now, we wait for it to take effect."
Kirara was the first to get effected, she burst into flames like she does whilst transforming, but when the flames stopped the giant cat wasn't there, instead there was a beautiful, humanoid teenage cat demon. She was a little shorter than Kagome. She had pointed ears and her hair was like Sango's, she now had 4 demon tails and they were an auburn colour like Shippou's. She got brown eyes like Sango.
Shippou was hit next, his hair turned black like Kagome's and an immunity to purifying powers, he grew a few inches but since he was still just a child he didn't grow that much. His tail split into two and became smoother like Kouga's but remained the same colour with slivery pink streaks. He got brown flecks in his eyes from Kagome.
Next was Rin, she changed the most out of the children. Her hair got silver streaks and she got two magenta stripes on her cheeks, one on each side, her eyes turned golden and her ears pointy. She grew a few centimetres and her nails grew longer and harder. She got a silver tail with pink streaks.
Kagome's hair grew and she got pointed ears, her nails grew longer and firmer, she got two magenta stripes on each cheek and her eyes had golden and green flecks in them. She grew fangs and three tails, one was a silver dog tail, another was a brown wolf tail and he last was an auburn fox tail. Her purifying powers rose thanks to Miroku and Kikyo and her muscles got bigger thanks to Sango.
Sango keeled over in the middle of Kagome's transformation, her ears pointed and she got purifying powers thanks to Miroku, Kikyo and Kagome, her nails did the same as Kagome's and her eyes got blue and gold flecks, she got fangs and two cats tails, both the cream colour that Kirara had before with silver and brown streaks.
Kikyo and Miroku got affected at the same time, their hair went mid back length, their nails grew and fangs they got one tail, Kikyo's was pinkish silver with black and cream streaks and Miroku's was black with silver and brown streaks.
Kouga and Sesshoumaru got pinkish and black streaks in their hair and they got immunity to purifying powers.
Everyone got poison abilities from Sesshoumaru and speed from Kouga, they each got the ability to hide the features they didn't want to parade around, the ability to hide their demonic aura's and they could all fly that's to Kirara.
After the transformations were complete and they looked at each other, their relationships were known. Kagome was Shippou's mother and Sango was Kirara's. Miroku and Kikyo were lovers. Sesshoumaru was a father to Rin, and Shippou and Rin were soul mates. In a way everyone was brother and sister, lovers or parents and children. (None of it is incest as they have basically adopted each other into the roles.)
After everyone figured out their relationships with that one look they all fell unconscious from the exhaustion.
