"Master Inuyasha, are you alright?" she asked and hurried to his side. She grabbed his hand and that was the only reason the hanyou didn't continue to run in the direction of the well. Instead he looked, his eyes wide, at the three more victims of his curse disappear in soft light.
He really considered staying and explaining everything to his half-brother and his companions. He felt sorry for Rin that his curse was changing her and prayed the change wouldn't be too bad. He was pretty glad Sesshomaru was cursed now - even if he had not planned to touch the bastard - and hoped he'd change dramatically. No thought about Jaken's fate crossed his mind.
But he had no time to spare for them, he had to chase the two tailed cat and the miko. He was still gripping her shoe in his claws - a solid reminder of his quest. But... He decided to stay just for a second longer and see how the curse would influence the trio before him. He was fast, he told himself, he could easily catch up to Kirara and tell Kagome all he wanted to tell her. Right now he was in the right mood to grab her shoulders and shake her while making sure she understood he didn't love Kikyou anymore and that kissing without consent someone who couldn't say 'no' was just creepy. And then he would put the shoe on her foot and drag her back to their friends so they could hunt the five-tailed soon-to-be pelt. As he was standing there a few birds caught up to him and sat on his shoulders and head, chirping happily.
Rin was the first one to emerge from the light, blinking in surprise. Inuyasha let out a sigh of relief when he saw that she was in her normal shape. Only her clothes were now a beautifully ornamented kimono of the finest silk and she had a little crown on her head.
Next was Jaken. He was clad in a beautiful kimono of pale pink with golden clouds on it. He had also long eyelashes and curly golden mane of hair falling down to his waist. Inuyasha stared at the kappa in utter shock, forgetting about chasing after Kagome for a minute.
"Master Jaken, you look pretty!"
"Foolish morral, I am prettier than you!" he exclaimed before looking down at his - obviously feminine - robe. "And I am a man!" he cried. Inuyasha gave a small grin at that statement.
"Ya don't look like one. And ya're ugly as hell," he commented. "Rin, your kimono's prettier than his."
"Thank you, master Inuyasha," Rin gave him a wide, happy smile. A compliment from her lord's half-brother was a rare thing, usually he was nice, but not to the point of giving compliments to her. She hoped her lord would like her kimono too, eve if she didn't understand why it was this way and why Jaken was trying to pull his golden locks off. "Master Jaken, don't pull your hair!"
"Off with his head!" all three of them looked to the spot where Sesshomaru was standing. He was glaring at Inuyasha and Jaken. The curse had hit him hard - his clothes were altered in a rather drastic way. The kimono was still white, but it had a pattern of red hearts accatered across it. The mokomoko on his shoulder was glittering and his hair was comed in a intricate hairstyle full of heart-shaped crimson ornamets. And... Was it make up on his face...?
Inuyasha was glad he had decided to stay and see. Witnessing his brother looking like that was worth a few minutes of delay. He grinned a vile youkai smile before turning around and continuing on his way. He could deal with his brother later. It would be fun to have him walk around dressed like that. He could still hear Sesshomaru's voice as he ran.
"Off with his head, Jaken!" demanded Sesshomaru. "Follow him and cut his head off! And bring me Tessaiga as a proof! Only then shall I be the strongest of them all!"
"Butbutbut! Lord Sesshomaru!" Jaken screamed in fear. "He is too strong for me!"
"Go, master Jaken, I believe in you!" cheered Rin. "Lord Sesshomaru, do you like my kimono? Master Inuyasha said it's pretty!"
A/N: I had a lot of fun writing this one. Hope you like it. Oh, yes, I almost forgot - since there are fairytales which will overlap some characters have more than one role and it not always is that a character will always be a bad guy only cuz they are in one tale.
