Chapter 3
A wind seemed to grow around the woman lifting her auburn hair to swirl around her, her eyes deepened as they turned completely black. Her hand raised pointing towards him as she spoke in a language he didn't understand. He tried to step forward only to find himself held fast to the spot. Lightning streaked from her fingertips to engulf him, as the lightning engulfed him, he screamed.
Sesshoumaru's screamed echoed through the hut awakening all within it. Kaede watched as Kagome and Inu Yasha went to reach the child, who still tossed fitfully trying to escape the terror of his nightmare. Kagome reached to him when a voice stopped her.
"No Beloved, he will injure you. Allow me." Bowing she stepped back.
"Hai My Lord."
The old miko's eyes widened as Inu Yasha lifted his brother and turned. She had never seen any of his transformations either to full human or to full demon, but she knew this was different. Gone were the dog ears, she was just beginning to learn to read. His ears were now on a more human spot on his head even if slightly elongated and pointed, that was not the only change. In the center of his forehead a purple crescent moon with a star and following the high arch of his cheekbones a single blue marking. Wrenching her eyes away Kaede looked at the monk and the demon exterminator. Each wore a matching expression of complete disbelief.
"Se, my son, calm yourself." The youkai whispered into the child's ear, a clawed hand gently stroking the silver white hair. "What causes you such distress?" He looked to the humans watching him. "Forgive us for interrupting your sleep." Nodding his head he walked out the door still holding the child to his chest.
Three heads turned from the door to the young woman standing where everything had started. They watched in amazement as her eyes changed from dark brown to their normal blue. "Kaede? What happened?"
"Were I to guess child, I would say that whatever spell the witch cast, has effected ye and Inu Yasha. Ye two are becoming the great Inu Taiyoukai and his mate Lady Mikomi. I do not know what purpose the witch had in casting a spell as strong as this. Her reason must be dire, for it not only to effect the specific target of the spell, but to also effect secondary beings."
"Kaede-sama," Miroku began "could that also be the reason that Sesshoumaru was at the clearing?"
"Hai monk. It could be. Perhaps the spells purpose is not to cause harm but to remind. But, remind of what."
Sango listened as the older miko and the monk continued their discussion on the what. Her eyes watched her best friend, something was still different. She watched as Kagome fidgeted with the skirt of her outfit. "What's wrong Kagome?"
"This kimono. It is indecent, I can not continue wearing such it will anger My Lord." Sango's eyes flew to her friends only to see that the blue of her eyes was being replaced once again by brown. Slipping out of her own Kimono she handed it to the girl before her. "Here you are my lady, I have another and am quite use to my armor." No sooner had Kagome dressed in the Kimono then Inu Yasha and Sesshoumaru returned. Wishing to test a theory forming in her mind she whispered to the monk her theory and plan, at his nod of understanding she spoke. "The Lady Mikomi will wish to clean the dust of travel from her personage and from your son, great lord. May I escort them to the springs while you speak with the monk and the elder miko?" The demon lord nodded and motioned for his mate and son to follow the warrioress.
Miroku watched as Kagome and Sesshoumaru followed Sango from the hut, turning he watched as first the facial markings faded and then Inu Yasha's ears returned to their normal location and shape. "Kaede?" He questioned.
"Aye. Seems the spell is effecting them only when they are within a certain distance of the child."
"What are you two talking about? And where are Kagome and Sesshoumaru?"
"Inu Yasha do you not remember what happened earlier?" Kaede asked.
"Yeah, Sesshoumaru screamed and then..." He paused scratching his head. He couldn't remember. "And then..." getting frustrated as he tried to remember only to find nothing "Feh. What difference does it make?"
"Inu Yasha," Miroku said wearily, "Do you remember what your father looked like?"
"Yea. I have his face except he had a purple crescent moon with a star on his forehead and a blue streak on each cheekbone. Why?"
"I thought as much." Inu Yasha's golden eyes turned to Kaede. "After Sesshoumaru awoke the spell began to effect you and Kagome, you became your father and Kagome your mother. Sango discovered the next key, only when in a certain distance does it effect you." Remembering Kagome's concern with the length of her skirt she looked at the hanyou, "Do you have any of your mother's kimonos hidden somewhere Inu Yasha?" The hanyou's cheeks showed a momentary pink as he nodded. "Then hurry and get them. The Lady Mikomi will be more comfortable in her own clothing over the kimono of a demon exterminator." Inu Yasha didn't for once question the old hag, only left to do her bidding.
Reviews always welcome.
