Chapter Three
What he didn't expect at that moment was Kagome to pierce him back, marking him as hers.
"By bearing my mark, you are mine Inuyasha." Kagome looked up at him with eyes full of pink and blue swirls; she was quite a site to see. She moved her face up to lick his neck of excess blood, then licked her lips and kissed his lips ever so softly before closing her eyes.
"Ka- Kagome… what- what's happening? Your smell? Your eyes?" Inuyasha was worried. He didn't smell another demon around, it was radiating off of Kagome, mixing with her usual scent of coconut and pineapple, so similar yet different.
Before he was able to ask another question her body was engulfed in a pink and blue light. Kagome's form started hovering from his arms, twisting and turning her body looking as though she was someone's puppet. Before he could intervene his body became immobile. In the blink of an eye he was up in the air right next to Kagome. Their auras of pink, blue, and gold all danced around their bodies; try to blend between the two.
…..Kagome's Dream…..
"Hello? Is anyone here?" Kagome asked. She was sitting in a vast field of sunflowers, lost and alone.
"Kagome, so nice of you to finally join us!" There in the distance was Modoriko standing with a demon.
"Kami about time woman!" The demon said while shifting from foot to foot.
"Modoriko? W- What are you doing here? Who's your friend?" Kagome asked slightly flabbergasted.
"You think she would have figured it out by now huh?" The demon spoke while smiling.
"Shh shh shh. Leave Kagome be, it's nice to see you again. This is your inner demon spirit, Inugami." Modoriko said while gesturing a hand towards Inugami.
"Nice to meet cha!" Inugami waved and smiled ear to ear.
"Uhh- hi? What do you mean my inner demon spirit? Am I not a priestess?" Kagome asked with confusion.
"My dear, yes you are a priestess but not just an ordinary one, you are The Demon Priestess. Inugami here is the demon part of you, I am the Priestess part of you, and you my dear Kagome are now the most powerful demon and priestess in all of these lands. You were chosen to defeat Naraku's newest reincarnation Waira. She greets others in her form of a beautiful woman when in actuality she is just a beast who lives near the northern mountains stealing innocent village men to feast of off their souls. You are to destroy her and bring peace back to this time."
"Ahh, perfect timing, our mate is here!" Inugami stated gesturing with her head towards Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha?" What is here doing here?
"What the heck is goin' on Kagome? Inuyasha slightly growled not knowing who these two women were.
"Inuyasha, this is Modoriko and Inugami; my priestess and demon forms, but I don't understand? If Inuyasha was not meant to journey with me, why is he here?"
"Well Kagome dear, I was not expecting you to mate yet, since you two are connected he is allowed to be here. You are considered one in mind, body, and soul. Also, I have some other news. I know that Inuyasha informed you of becoming a half demon when you two were to mate, but seeing as how you are a full demon and mated a half demon, your two auras mixed with one another. Inuyasha acquired a full demon aura from you, while you acquired some of his more physical traits. You shall notice when you awaken. Safe travels!" With that Modoriko winked; Inugami waved, and the field they were at disappeared.
…..End Dream…...…..
Sango and Miroku were up and ready waiting for Kagome and Inuyasha. Usually it was the other way around. After a few minutes of waiting Miroku escorted Sango down to InuKags (their couple nickname) home hoping they were there.
"They're missing?" Sango realized with a gasp, she turned on her heel remembering that her two friends went to the river after dinner. "What if something happened? What if that demon came by here and hurt them?" Sango was practically running until Miroku caught her in his arms.
"Miroku please, what if they're hurt?" Sango pleaded.
"Well my dear, if they are injured what use would it be to them if you ended up hurting yourself too? Inuyasha was with Kagome, there's no way something could have happened." Miroku confirmed with a tilt of his head.
They walked down to the river and did not expect such a site! Inuyasha was lying on his back on top of the sheets he set up the night before with only his pants on. He was covered by the sleeping demon in his arms; she was practically naked if it weren't for Inuyasha's robes covering her body. Seeing this woman with Inuyasha made Sango snap!
"You dirty, filthy, lying, two timer! Inuyasha! Wake the hell up! How could you do this to Kagome?" Sango spat the words out her mouth, she was disgusted. How could he do this to her best friend? He was going to get it!
Then the young woman in Inuyasha's arms sat up. She had jet black hair with two adorable dog ears sitting on top. She had faint blue lines on her face like Sesshomaru's, matching her big blue eyes. Her fangs were poking out slightly from her soft pink lips and she used a clawed hand to shield her face from the sun.
"Sango what the heck do you think you're doing?" Sango looked at the demon girl before her and could not believe she looked just like Kagome!
"Ka-Kagome?" She asked with hesitation.
"Of course it's Kagome! I wouldn't be with anyone else!" Inuyasha moved his arms around Kagome to block her nakedness out of view.
"Kagome? What happened to you? Did you and Inuyasha finally..you know?" By now Sango was blushing from asking such a question, and Kagome's face and saw she looked like a tomato; but she had to, there would be no other explanation.
After Kagome dressed she told Miroku and Sango her story, Inuyasha went back to their hut to finish grabbing everything Kagome needed. He returned faster than usual and was ready to finally let Kagome on her journey. If he didn't make her go now he would never be able to let her go. Modoriko's words kept repeating themselves in his head. "My dear Kagome are now the most powerful demon and priestess in all of these lands. You were chosen to defeat Naraku's newest reincarnation Waira." She's powerful; she will make it on her own, I have to believe in her.
Inuyasha's mind was racing but he stayed calm. Seeing as now he and Kagome were finally mated he could feel her. They joy, embarrassment, sincerity, everything. She was an open book to him now and he knew that having this connection was the only thing allowing her to leave alone.
He stopped by the river they spent so much time in; looking at his reflection he noticed that Modoriko was right, some physical changes did occur. His claws were longer, his face had the same purple lines as Sesshomaru, he was more toned then usual, and his hair was almost to the floor. By the time he returned, the girls and Miroku were just finishing up saying their good byes.
Kagome felt his presence and said her final byes to Sango and Miroku. She watched him walk towards her and she was amazed by his beauty, yes he was hot before but now she had better senses and she was taking it all in.
"Kagome, please just be careful." Inuyasha grabbed Kagome in his arms and hugged her like never before; since neither of them was no longer human he could use his regular strength without hurting her. He moved his face into her raven locks and locked her new scent into his very being.
"I promise, I will return to you." A lone tear ran down her cheek, shining in the new morning sun. "My mate." She growled. Squeezing him tighter she lifted her head and placed a sweet kiss to his lips and walked away. He smelled the salty tears that left her face but couldn't bring himself to follow.
After about 6 hours of figuring out her new body Kagome figured this would be a quick trip IF she can kill this thing on the first try. Okay, so I run pretty fast, I should be there in another day and a half, I have plenty of bows, arrows, food, and water."
While Kagome was stuck in her in her tranceshe stopped near a river to drink rather then using her own supply. She stripped her shoes and socks to dip her feet in. What she didn't expect was to see a young man floating motionless with the current.
