"The miko is not dead she is merely sleeping. Her form is changing and her body needs its rest" Sesshoumaru stated as he stood up. Rin let go of his hakama and looked up to her lord.

"What d-o you me-a-an?" Rin asked her eyes now lay at the body of her considered old sister

"She's turning into a youkai." Sesshoumaru said he walked over Kagome's body and lifted it from the ground holding her bridal style. Rin gasped as she took a good look at Kagome's face.

She now bared the crescent moon mark on her forehead.

Kagome's ragged breaths worried Rin. Over the last few hours that the trio walked, they had to stop several occasions because Kagome would shout in pain. Sesshoumaru no matter how many times Kagome shouted or kicked him, he never let go of her. Rin cried as she watched Sesshoumaru struggle with the wild Kagome in his arms. The sun was starting to set forcing Sesshoumaru to summon his cloud.

"Why the sudden interest in the miko?" His beast

"She is no mere human. I can sense her scent changing. Something is happening to this miko" Sesshoumaru calmly stated "Besides can't you not see that she now bears the mark on her forehead?"

"I can't sense anything happening to her… Hmm I'll watch this interesting twist…" His inner demon chuckled at the last part

Sesshoumaru's train of thought was broken when Kagome suddenly gasped in air hard. Her hand grabbed a fistful of his clothing. He halted the demonic cloud, Rin whimpered as she tightly held onto Sesshoumaru's leg. Kagome exhaled slowly, her body laid limp after a few seconds. Rin cried again one of her hand tried to wipe the tears away but failed. Sesshoumaru seeing that Rin was upset and unstable he quickly landed his demonic cloud on a safe clearing and made it disappear.

Sesshoumaru told Rin to sit down. He knelt on his left knee and made Kagome's back lean on his right leg. Sesshoumaru brushed a clawed finger to Kagome's face feeling the warmth of the body leaving. Rin stopped hiccupping and stared at Sesshoumaru's hand. His hand lay on the hilt of Tenseiga.

"Why won't it pulse!" Sesshoumaru growled

"Maybe the ningen is still not dead" his beast said

"That would be impossible" Sesshoumaru replied

"Well there is this saying that goes 'Nothing is impossible'" The beast said chuckling as Sesshoumaru growled

"Hn."

"You go see yourself. Stop growling and look at the ningen. She is clearly waking up."

True to the beast's word, Kagome's eyes slowly fluttered open. Her once pure brown eyes now red at the ends. Sesshoumaru helped her sit down on the ground and stood up himself.

"Her eyes are not of a humans… I wonder what happened to cause the change"

"You probably should observe more." The beast suggested

"She bears the mark… Does that mean that she is my mate?"

"There will be no such thing! We have not mated with her! She is not our mate!" the beast shouted inside him growling all the while.

Rin staggered on her first steps not believing her eyes. She ran to her sister and hugged her for dear life. Her face buried to Kagome's chest, she sobbed uncontrollably .Kagome patted Rin's head and made soothing circles at the girl's back.

"Ka-kago-ome ne-es-an" Rin said between sobs. Kagome hugged the little girl back.

"I'm… glad…you're safe" She said softly. The two still hugged and Rin's sob calmed down a bit.

Sesshoumaru's presence was not acknowledged. He watched the two human females hug and comfort each other.

"Something is awfully weird on this happening. This Sesshoumaru feels like something is going wrong" he thought as she watched Kagome who was supposed to be dead a few minutes ago.

"The tenseiga didn't even pulse. How can that miko still be alive? I did no such thing as reviving her but I planned to anyways."

"Her heart may have stopped beating because of the 'change' you were mentioning. It is safe to conclude that the 'change' has reached her heart" the beast stated

"But still… Something happened and this Sesshoumaru wants to know what it was." His statement was not replied and so he stopped the conversation

"I'll always protect you…" Kagome whispered into Rin's ears. Rin weakly nodded. Her finger slowly reached out to touch the crescent moon on Kagome's forehead.

"I know you will nee-chan…" Rin said as she traced the moon, Kagome's hand wrapped around the crescent moon stone dangling around Rin's neck.

A strong gust of wind came from Kagome. Her arms still wrapped around Rin tightened as a surge of power came through her. It flowed in her like electricity. She let go of Rin as the strong gust of wind flowed out from her like big waves of the sea. Rin tried to stand up but found herself trapped in one of Kagome's barriers.

"Nee-chan!" Rin screamed to the top of her lungs.

Sesshoumaru struggled as the wind pushed him back with so much force. He covered his eyes as debris and leaves wildly danced with the gusts of wind. A blinding white light shot upon the area. A few more seconds Sesshoumaru regained his composure and checked his surroundings.

A pillar of white light remained to where Kagome and Rin sat earlier. The pillar of light came from the grounds and extended to the heavens above. At the bottom was Kagome, her body floating inside the pillar. Rin was still kept safe near the pillar in a strong barrier.

"So much power…. A human can't possibly hold all of this inside her!"

"You are right. The power she has is too much for her body, as you can see it is overflowing out of her." His beast growled in him

The pillar radiated a strong holy aura. All nearby demons scampered off the area, trying to escape the faith of being incinerated. Some were seen flying but to only fail epically. Each and every youkai no matter how small all of them burned to a crisp as Kagome lay inside the pillar. The pillar glowed heavily. Sesshoumaru looked at his hands; he wondered why he did not take the effect of being near the pillar. Pushing the thought he walked to the pillar.

"Sesshoumaru-sama!" Rin shouted as both of her hands waved wildly in the air trying to get his attention. Sesshoumaru walked to Rin and tried to break the barrier. He failed and ended up burning his hands too

"Lord Sesshoumaru… Please get nee-san out from there! It's doing something to her!" Rin said her eyes began to water. Sesshoumaru nodded.

"She's using that trick again!..." Sesshoumaru exclaimed in his thoughts

"Tch. That trick of hers surely is effective…" the beast whimpered inside him

"This Sesshoumaru will get the miko while you stay in there. Do you understand Rin?" She nodded happily and wiped her eyes.

Sesshoumaru faced the pillar of light. Surely the holy aura didn't have any effect on him. He looked up and saw Kagome. Gasping he stood at the spot frozen.

Kagome floated on mid air in the pillar of light. Her once onyx black hair now lengthened and turned into the same pearly white as Sesshoumaru's hair but she has small pink stripes on hers. She wore a fitting pure white top jacket that has bell sleeves and a pair of white hakamas. It was matched with a beautiful pink obi beautifully tied at the back. Her face was adorned with the purple crescent moon mark on her forehead and two long pink stripes on her cheek. In her hands was the crescent moon stone that he gave to Rin. It illuminated a pink glow.

"She-e-e… really did change…"The beast said

"That stone is causing all of this!" Sesshoumaru thought as he stared at the stone

"That means we have to get that stone from her"

"Once this Sesshoumaru touches that stone I'll crush it to pieces. Causing this much havoc it deserve more than just being crushed!"

The pillar of light suddenly disappeared without a trace. Rin was also released at the same moment. The area light up and then dimmed down after a few seconds. Rin stood up and ran to Sesshoumaru. She then tugged the taiyoukai's sleeve a couple of times and shouted

"Sesshoumaru-sama! Nee-san is falling!" With that Sesshoumaru jumped up and grabbed the now not human miko. He landed right in front of Rin, kneeling down to let Rin look at Kagome

"Kagome-neesan…" Rin whispered as she brushed away a stray strand of hair on Kagome's face. Sesshoumaru faced the other direction deciding. Rin let out a sigh of relief.

"She looks different Sesshoumaru-sama. What made her like that?" Rin asked looking at Sesshoumaru directly. Sesshoumaru looked at the girl and calmly replied

"This Sesshoumaru also does not know. That is why we must get back to the palace." He said. He stood up and beckoned Rin to hold on. Rin stood at Sesshoumaru's left and wrapped her arm around Sesshoumaru's left leg. Sesshoumaru let moko-sama wrap around the unconscious Kagome and let her lay down the cloud.

They sped fast toward the western castle in hopes to find the answers to their questions.

READ & REVIEW

AWW~ I watched the last episode of Inuyasha. . .

Well well well… Here is another short chapter! I promise to make it longer in the next chappie…

I just had to cut in this part because of 2 reasons

This is the main idea of this chapter so if I lengthen it more it'll get pretty boring

I just finished watching the final episode. I'm in a state of nothingness XD

Please bear with me in this! :D Its just… the final episode sucked! UGHHHH… (and this is why I hate watching final episodes of animes they either totally rock or grossly SUCK!) sorry for the ppl who think that the end rocked… this is just my view on it
