So I hope you guys enjoy this chapter even though it is horrendously short and it took waaaaaaaaaaaaay too long for me to post. So yeah ANYWAYS on to the chapter!!!!

Kagome's thoughts—Italics

Man's thoughts—Bold Italics

Regular stuff—in regular print

Recap!!: )

Emerald met sapphire in confusion and hurt, waiting for some other explanation.

"Of you...dying..." she whispered sadly as tears fell shamelessly down her cheeks to drip off from her chin. Her hand cupped his cheek when he looked at her in confidence, shaking her head sadly. "Because of--me."

Chapter 10

It seemed that her confession was the only thing that held Kagome together. The pain and emotional turmoil began to pull her apart. Kagome lost control.

A bright blue light exploded from Kagome's body and began to fade into a deeper, darker blue, as tears poured from her eyes sparkling like crystals down her cheeks. Her aura changed around her into something darker, something tainted, by her emotions, she was changing into something that was on the border or pure and evil, she was fighting a battle within herself between light and darkness. Kagome's appearance began to take on a fiercer form. Her hair grew until it reach the black of her knees while it was suspended within her aura, changing from its natural black-blue color into a deep, alluring navy with onyx undertones to it that faded into a harsh black about 4 inches from the tips of her hair. Her body seemed to elongate giving her a frame of around 5'10 to 5'11 in size, and as her hands changed, and her nails became slightly sharper creating dainty yet deadly claws. All of the angles of her face; her nose, her chin, her brows, and her ears, became sharper. Changing her face the most was a combination of two things.

1. There were delicate black and navy markings that swirled down the side of her face. The rounded and delicate swirls that made up the design worked to take away the severity and sharpness of her face that her new features had caused, keeping the illusion of warmth to Kagome's newly frigid face. The markings only went from her temples to the top of her cheek bones, seeming to framing her beautiful ice hardened eyes.

This brings us to # 2.

Her eyes.

Her eyes were no longer the expressive hue of azure that changed to her every emotion. They had transformed. They looked like crystals with the barest hint of blue to give color to the otherwise clear eyes, with shocks of black and silver that seemed to extend from her pupil's, which appeared to be more of an oval in shape, to leak into her iris. Her already long lashes deepened in color just like her hair, and grew even longer to surround her eyes in an illusion of cold innocence and mystery to match her markings. Her eyes gave away nothing.

No emotion.

No thoughts.

No life.

No tears.

Nothing.

They were the eyes of Complete Destruction; Zenkai.

**********************************************************************************************************************************

Though Kagome's confession confused him he had no time to react to anything before he was thrown harshly through her bedroom wall by the uncontrolled spike in her aura. Getting up slightly slower than he would usually, due to pain coursing through all of his limbs from the blast of slightly tainted pure energy, he crouched next to the hole his body had created in the wall to peer into Kagome's room at her finishing transformation.

"Oh my Kami…" he gasped as he witnessed the changes to her appearance

This is what she told me of…

She told me to stop her but…How??

How do you stop the Megami of Zenkai?(A/N if anyone knows how to say that correctly please tell me, it is supposed to mean Goddess of complete Destruction...:)

He watched as Kagome's metamorphosis seemed to solidify in awe. Though her new look was far colder than her original appearance she was still gorgeous. Her long navy-black locks entwined with small hints of silver combined with her icy eyes and markings gave her an ethereal air about her, it was as though she would just as soon kill you as talk to you, and she would probably derive more pleasure from the former. It was… unnerving to say the least, for a man such as he, to witness the change from the approachable, vulnerable, warm, and loving miko, into an unapproachable, impervious, icy, creature.

He slowly moved through the hole back into Kagome's room, trying not to disturb Kagome until the change had fully completed itself. As he finally maneuvered himself into the room without bringing notice to himself he began to straighten into a standing position from his crouch, only to be slammed into the wall behind him by a hand around his neck.

"Who are you and what is your purpose here?" asked a high pitched monotone.

"I-I am –h-here to help y—y" without looking her directly in the eye, he tried to speak but with another unexpected flair of spiritual power he was blasted once more through a wall.

Before he could gain his footing Kagome had once again appeared before him.

"I asked for your name and then your purpose."

"I cannot—" he tried to explain himself but he couldn't finish his sentence before a small yet powerful fist met his eye

"You will tell me." Reprimanded the monotone gaining a frost coated edge as she noticed how he was avoiding her eyes "Look me in the eyes when you answer me."

"Kagome!" he flinched as she raised her fist once more before he hurriedly added the rest of his sentence, "IAMSHIPPO!!!"

"Shippo??"

Icy eyes flashed to sapphire as new tears flowed down her cheeks, only to stop when the icy eyes returned.

"You are not Shippo. Shippo is dead. I killed him. Look me in the eyes!" She said hesitantly raised her fist once more in an attempt to hit him

"No. I am not dead, you were just dreaming!" he said hurriedly

Sapphire flashed through ice again.

"Dreaming?" she asked shaking her head in confusion and going over his face before her eyes shifted back into her other form

Shippo nodded rapidly as if his nodding would help his mother to understand.

"No. He is dead, I saw it happening. It was no dream. You will look me in the eye!" She told him no longer raisin her hand against him but instead grabbing his face to force him to look at her

"Mama!! I am right here if you would just look!! It was a dream!" Shippo final yelled in frustration mentally acknowledging that she was no longer trying to hit him.

Progress!! Yes!!!

Finally icy eyes met emerald.

Shippo…

Shippo! He is alive! I have to go to him!

Ice and sapphire flashed, Kagome was finally fighting against her powers, and she was slowly winning. Sapphire finally won over ice when Shippo got up and hugged her. She remembered all of the things she and Shippo had gone through and how he would always comfort her. He would always hug her. This… man was truly her baby. Her Shippo.

He isn't dead...

Kagome sighed in his arms as hugged him back with all she was, with tears cascading down her ivory cheeks and onto his chest, as he held her. They stayed that way for hours, not moving, just taking comfort in each other. One taking comfort from a son whose death she had thought to have caused. And the other taking comfort from a mother he had almost lost to her own powers.
