Chapter?: I've been watching you

~~~

"Well, well, well, I was wandering when you two would finally pay me a visit."

Kagome and Sango jumped off of Kirara quickly and stood side by side, completely on guard.

There was something about that sentence that confused Kagome. The way Kagura had said it sounded as if she had been *expecting* them! That was just strange.

"What would make you think that we were going to visit you?", Apparently Sango was wandering the same thing, and she sounded a tad bit uneasy about it.

"What I can't understand,", Kagura began distastefully, "Is just why you would want to be a lowly hanyou.. Though, I suppose anything would be a step up from what you are now. Oh, and Kagome, love the new look!"

Kagura's whole manner of speaking infuriated Kagome, she acted as if she were better than everyone. Maybe it was just the hanyou blood in her reacting so violently to that voice, or maybe it was just her usual stubborn and defiant personality.

"How.. How did you know that?", Sango was still feeling caught off guard. How could Kagura know that she had been wanting to become hanyou? Had she been.. spying on them?

Kagome finally picked up to what had lain beneath that cocky tone, Kagura had just inferred that she knew exactly the reason for why they had came, "Hey! How *did* you know that?"

Sango shot Kagome an agitated glance, as if to say, 'I just said that.'.

"Oh, you didn't notice? I've been watching you."

Kagome had definitely *not* noticed. How could she have been watching them? Wouldn't she have smelt something? Wouldn't *Inuyasha* have smelt something? Shippo even?

"Your just lying! We would have smelt something!"

Sango nodded her head in agreement, Kagura had probably just made a few lucky guesses or something.

"Lying am I? If I were lying, than how would I know what you were in the midst of only a few days ago.. You know, that, 'thing' you were in, that, as a mortal, you had never experienced before?"

Kagome blushed. Kagura had known she was in heat? What did she do? Watch Inuyasha and her mate? What a pervert! Needless to say, Kagome got even angrier than she was before.

"You, you, YOU HENTIA!"
At this point, Sango was just confused, "Kagome, what is she talking about?"

Kagome blushed.
Actually, Kagura was blushing as well. Now *that* was something she had never done. But she couldn't help it, Inuyasha's mate though she had *watched* them! That was just nasty!

"No, No, No! I didn't watch *that*! Eww! As soon as I smelt that you were in heat, I *stopped* watching you for a few days! Eeeeew!"

Sango's eyes went wide in revelation. "heat? Kagome? You?", it seemed as though she had lost the ability to complete a whole sentence.

Kagome blushed even harder and nodded quickly, "um.. Can we just, not talk about that?"

Kagura smirked, the little mortal-hanyou was embarrassed. She should have known, for anyone not a youkai, such a subject probably would have been embarrassing.

"Oh, you didn't want your little friend to know, did you? Oops."

Sango was starting to rethink this whole 'going hanyou' thing. Heat? She shuddered at the thought of Miroku with her in heat, that would just be terrifying… Miroku, even more perverted than he already was? Absolutely terrifying…

Kagome growled, but stopped as soon as she realized what she was doing. She still wasn't quite used to making strange noises when upset, "Kagura, why have you been watching us?"

Kagura hopped off her feather and approached the other two girls. Without warning, she reached over and tweaked one of Kagome's ears.

"Hey! What are you doing!?", Kagome grabbed hold of her own ear possessively, "That's mine!"

Kagura couldn't help but laugh a little, "so it is.."

Kagome pushed Kagura away, and couldn't help but be amazed at her own strength. She had pushed Kagura a good ten feet away with such little effort..

"You didn't' t answer me! Why have you been watching us? And how come we didn't sense you?"

The wind youkai seemed surprised herself that she was suddenly on the ground so far away from Kagome. The girl had gotten strong. She rose gracefully and dusted herself off.

"Your friend there was correct on her assumption that I've inherited that bastard's powers. I can hide my scent quite well now, not only that, but I'm pretty good at being quite. As for your other question, haven't you ever heard the saying, 'Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer'?"

"So, we're your enemies are we?", Kagome was beginning to question if this whole encounter might end in a fight. She shortened the distance between herself and Kagura, that way she could catch her if she tried anything sneaky.

The demon exterminator moved closer to Kagome, not at all trusting Kagura. She held her boomerang threateningly.

Kirara followed Sango.

Kagura took a disdainful glance at the pregnant demon exterminator, "Do you really think you should be fighting in your condition."

It seemed as though Sango suddenly remember just why she had came here. "Can you do it?", she had meant for her tone to sound menacing, but instead it had came out more pleading.

"Do what? Make you into a hanyou? Of course I can. But that's not really the question is it? It's not *can* I do it, it's *will* I do it."

Kagome approached Kagura even closer, determined. "Hey! You owe us one! We killed Naraku! Now you don't have to do his bidding anymore. We freed you!"

Kagura smiled, "You asked if we were enemies. I never said that we were, but one must be cautious. Perhaps I am just used to having to look over my shoulder every minute? You'd be amazed at what it's like to have someone hold your own life in their hands. And you, in a sense, saved me. I suppose I do owe you one. But you must understand, it's not easy for me to just so easily change perspectives on people. You are supposed to be my enemies."

As reluctant as she was to admit it, Sango actually did understand. In a way, she had had went through the same things, changing perspectives on people. After all, all her life Kohaku had been her little brother, who she could trust and love. And then, suddenly he had been her enemy. That really had been hard to adjust to. Unknowingly, she nodded her head in affirmation.

Kagura noticed the nod, and for a second, it looked as if she almost felt pity for the demon exterminator. "Yes, I guess you would understand wouldn't you…", she looked away, mumbling something under her breath, "I... really am sorry that happened to you", she turned her head back, looking Sango square in the eyes, "..if it helps to know.. When he did the truly evil things... It wasn't him at all. It wasn't like when Naraku ordered me to do something and I did it to save my own life. No, Kohaku would refuse, he was willing to die rather than do those awful things, but Naraku wouldn't let that happen, he needed him to get to you, so he simply possessed Kohaku... Even though the boy didn't remember who he was... He still had the same values... He never was evil.."

A tear ran down Sango's face, though she was smiling, "Thank you... for telling me."

Kagome raised an eyebrow, not quite understanding what had just went on. First Kagura had been being mean and cocky, but suddenly she was all sympathetic and kind. It really didn't make much since. She really didn't understand what she was meant by 'changing perspectives' either…though, if Sango understood, and had calmed down so much, then it must have made some kind of since.

"Your baby's life depends on this doesn't it? Whether I do this for you or not?"

Sango nodded, "You can do it right? Turn me and Miroku into hanyous?"

"I... think I can... You two won't be as true hanyou as Kagome is. The jewel turned her into one as if she has never been anything else before. I can only give you the lifespan, and I can improve your strength, and give you the power to heal yourself as youkai do. I'm not sure if your appearance will change or not. To be honest, I'm not all to aware of my own powers now... I do know one thing that you will definitely not get that Kagome has. Kagome, like all youkai, full or not, has special abilities, you know, like special attacks. So far she has only used one, but I'm sure over time she'll discover more. You won't have those kind of things."

"Just as well, you know as well as I do that that's not one of my main concerns.. but.. will you do it?", Sango looked hopefully at Kagura.

"If I do this now, I won't be able to do it again for years. It will drain a lot of my power, and it might take me decades even to regain it all. In truth, it is fortunate that you asked to be hanyou rather than full, I don't really think I'm strong enough to turn two people full….yes... I will do it... I owe it to you... besides, I have no real use for such power."

In a very uncharacteristic act, Sango hugged Kagura graciously. It took a minute for her to realize what she had just done, and as soon as she did, she immediately backed off,

"ummm... Sorry..? I guess... well... see... um... I was just so worried... that... my baby might die... and... Thank you."

The wind youkai seemed to be in a state of shock. She stood still a minute, as if replaying the incident in her mind a few times before responding. "You know... No one has ever done that before. I mean, I've never had someone be so thankful to me that they would hug me in appreciation. I feel happy? Is that what you feel like when you do something good for someone?"

Kagome smiled, it seemed like Kagura had a heart after all. Wait, of course she did.. That was why Naraku could control her. Kagome was confusing herself, so she stopped thinking about such confusing subjects.

"Yes, it does feel rewarding to do something nice for people."

Kagura smirked, "Maybe I should do it more often…"

Sango looked up to the sky, looking to see what the position of the moon was. It was getting lower. Soon it would be replaced by the sun. They needed to hurry and get this over with, she wanted to be back before sunrise, no use worrying Miroku anymore than he was already.

"So…shall we get this over with?"

"Alright, Everyone be really quite, since you didn't bring the monk with you, I'm going to have to really concentrate to make sure that I get his location right...", She sniffed at the air trying her best to concentrate on finding his scent, as well as his energy. She closed her eyes.

Sango began to tremble. What if this didn't work? What if something went wrong? What if this was all just an elaborate trick made by Kagura to kill Miroku and herself? There were so many possibilities, none of which she was too fond of.

Kagome observed Kagura. The wind youkai was gathering up all her energy. She could see it all forming a ball of pink light surrounding Kagura. Since Sango seemed not to notice anything happening yet, she assumed that she was the only one who could see this energy gathering. The light changed from pink to a dark red. It seemed as though her energy was getting stronger. The energy was beginning to make noise resembling static on a television screen, as the noise got louder, the light got darker, until it turned to a murky reddish-brown. It seemed as though Sango could at least here the noise, as she had stopped trembling and was now gazing in wander at Kagura.

The wind youkai knew she was over straining herself, doing this could probably end up in herself being unconscious for a week or two. She wasn't quite strong enough yet to be doing this, she hadn't learned how to use Naraku's powers correctly. She couldn't exactly wait though, if she didn't do something soon, than the demon exterminator's child would die. She was almost there anyway, she had gathered up all her energy, just another level and she would succeed. She reached within herself, emptying herself of any energy she could find. Grimacing, she brought it all out at once.
Suddenly, the light Kagome had been watching turned to black, no more tones of red. Just all out black. And black had never been a color she had associated with good things. She only hoped that this would be an exception.

Almost immediately after turning black, two beams of purple light shot out of the energy ball. One went straight for Sango, hitting her square in the chest and lifting her off the ground, surrounding her in it's light. Her boomerang fell to the ground. It appeared as though she was no longer conscious, as her body seemed limp and she made no move of resistance. The other beam shot off into the distance, passing straight through trees and everything else that got in it's way, until it undoubtedly met with Miroku.

The light around Kagura vanished, and the wind youkai collapsed to the ground. Sango was held suspended in the air for a moment longer, until the light around her vanished as well, and she was dropped to the ground. Since Sango had been very high up in the air, it was a rather lucky thing that Kagome caught her.

The hanyou placed her friend delicately on the dew sodden grass. Kirara came and nudged at Sango's head.

"Sango? Are you alright?"

Sango didn't respond, however, her body was answering for her. Her human ears disappeared. Two furry black pointed ears appeared at the top of her head. They were much more triangular than Kagome's. Cat ears.

Kagome grabbed hold of Sango's hand to examine her finger nails. Yep, just as she had expected, they had became longer and sharper, actually, they seemed even sharper than her own. Of course… if she had cat ears, she would have cat claws.

"It.. It worked..", Kagome noticed that Sango had began to stir, and would more than likely wake up soon, remembering her own experience, she covered Sango's cat ears.

Sango's eyes slowly opened. The first thing she was aware of, was that she could see perfectly, much better than she had been able to see before. She had night vision. The second thing she noticed was that everything was very loud, though somewhat muffled, and she felt pressure somewhere on the top of her head that had never existed before. And the third thing she realized, was that the spell had worked.

Ignoring how loud everything was, and what a head ache it was giving her, she reached up to where she knew her new ears were sure to be. She attempted to remove Kagome's hands.

"Let go of my ears Kagome." The sound of her own voice surprised Sango. It was somehow.. different.. yet the same... It sounded… smoother…

"But it will *really* hurt if I do."

"Kagome, I'm a demon exterminator, I've suffered far worse than this."

Reluctantly, Kagome released her hold on Sango's ears.

At first, the noise came in all at once, and it did indeed hurt her ears, but Sango resisted the urge to cry out. She had told Kagome she could handle it, and handle it she would. Instead of concentrating on the sheer volume of the noise, she tried to just listen to what she could here. She marveled at all the sounds she had not been able to hear before, as well as all the scents her nose was picking up. It was amazing. She smiled, and for the first time became aware of her new fangs now biting into her lip.

"Did my hair change color?", She looked to her friend that hadn't stopped staring.
"N-no... but, your eyes did. They're green."

"Green?"

"Yes... Your ears are black."

Sango reached under herself, it seemed that there was a rock under her or something, actually, it kind of felt like a snake. Finally she found whatever was irritating her, she grabbed onto it roughly, only to find that that brought her severe pain. Confused, she stood up, hand still on whatever she had grabbed hold of, she brought it out in front of her, well, as far as it would go. It seemed that what had been under her, was herself. She had a tail. A furry, black cat tail.

"I have a tail."

Kagome looked at the black tail in Sango's hand and couldn't resist the urge to touch it. She rubbed one finger over it's soft and silky fur.

"Um yep, you do."

"Kagome.. I'm … a cat hanyou aren't I?"
Kagome took a step back and examined her friend. Cat ears, cat tail, green cat eyes, and long claws. Yep, it looked like she was a cat youkai. She made note of the demon exterminator outfit she was wearing, which, in her own time, resembled a cat suit. How very fitting.

"Yeah."

"Oh."

A low groaning noise was heard by both the hanyous. Immediately they remembered what they had previously overlooked.

"Kagura! What happened to her?", Sango ran to the side of the fallen wind youkai.

Kagome followed her friend, "I.. Don't know, she just collapsed."

"Kagura? Are you alright?", After not receiving a response, Sango slapped her across the face.

The wind youkai's eyes fluttered open, "Did it work? Yes... It seems as though it did."

Sango and Kagome helped Kagura to her feet.

"Are you alright?"

Kagura nodded at Kagome, "Just feeling a little drained, I'm feeling better than I expected though.."

Sango ran her fingers over her tail again, admiring it, "You wouldn't happen to know why I have a tail would you?"

"I told you you might not have the same attributes as Kagome, usually hanyous don't have tails.. But it seems that you are an exception."

Kagome and Sango brought Kagura over to her feather and sat her a top it. Kirara approached Sango, holding the demon exterminator's boomerang in her mouth.

"Thanks Kirara." Sango took the boomerang from her cat youkai companion.

Kirara meowed. Now, usually, that wasn't really an incident worth noting.. Usually. Of course, usually, when Kirara meowed, all Sango heard was a meow.

"What the hell?", Sango jumped back away from Kirara.

Kagome was thoroughly confused, "Urm… Sango? You alright?

Kagura seemed just as genuinely perplexed as Kagome.

Sango pointed at Kirara accusingly, "She's not supposed to talk!"

"Um… she didn't talk, Sango.."

"You.. didn't hear that?"

"Hear what?"

"She.. she said.. 'I always knew you'd look better as a cat'..", Sango hesitantly approached Kirara, "Did.. I imagine that?"
Kirara opened her mouth and a meow sounded, well, that was what Kagome and Kagura heard at least.

'So, you can hear me know? I'm sure you'll make better conversation than Shippo.'

Sango held back a laugh, after all, it really wouldn't do to laugh at something that wasn't real.

"I.. think I'm going insane."

Without warning, a voice came out of seemingly nowhere, "You are far from being insane, since you are now a cat youkai, you can understand Kirara, since she is a cat demon. All cat youkai of any kind can understand each other. Kirara speaks in a cat's truest tongue, and only other cat youkai, and some full youkai, such as Shippo, can understand her."

Kagome knew that voice. That voice that would seemingly appear out of nowhere and bestow information at convenient times. She looked at her shoulder, where she was sure she would find the source of that voice.

"Myouga? And just where have you been lately?"

"Why Kagome-sama, I have been, of course, gathering information and such. Might I add that you look especially beautiful as a dog demon? My congratulations on becoming Inuyasha's mate."

"Oh really? And just what information have you found?"

"Well.. uh… Alright, I admit it, I was waiting until I was sure that it was safe. Please understand Kagome-sama, I had to keep myself safe, lest I not be able to fulfill my duties to you and Inuyasha anymore."

"Right.", Kagome plucked Myouga off of her shoulder and squished him between her fingers.

The flea slowly wafted to the ground. "I deserved that."

"Your right, you did."

Sango seemed to be pondering the new found lack of a language barrier between herself and Kirara, she was sure as hell going to take advantage of it.

"Kirara?"

"Yes?"

"Your talking."

"Really? I didn't notice."

"Your sarcastic."

"Yep."

"You have a personality, other than 'meow'." Sango was surprised that what would have usually came out as a very humanistic way of saying 'meow', instead sounded exactly like a cat.

"You meowed."

"Yes.. I did."

"Good job."

"Very funny."

"Cat ears really suit you.."

"Thanks."

"You know, You probably look pretty stupid, talking to a cat in a human voice. You know, you can talk as a cat now."

Sango experimented with that, she attempted to make the words she wanted to say come out in cat language.

"So I can."

"Yep."
Kagome and Kagura watched the conversation between Sango and Kirara play out.It was, to say the least, strange. Sango would say something human, and then Kirara would meow. It only got stranger when Sango began meowing too.

Kagome turned to Kagura, "Um.. Did you know she would be able to do that?"

Kagura shook her head. "um.. no"

"Well, I must be leaving now, send my regards to Inuyasha-sama..", Apparently, Myouga had returned to Kagome's shoulder.

"Hold it flea. Why do you need to be leaving so quickly? Is something *bad* going to happen?"

Myouga glanced around nervously, "Well.. Um.. Let's just say that your trouble with Tsuyu isn't quite over yet, I need to go seek shelter until the danger has passed."

"And when might that be?"

"Um.. A year?"

"What do you know about her that we don't?"

"Well.. Uh.. I just know that she isn't done with you yet. She means to kill Sango's child, and now, since it is going to live, she's going to be coming back. If you will let me leave, I can go find out more information for you."

Kagome considered this for a moment, "Well… Alright, but you have to come back with all you know as soon as you know it! And if you don't.. well, let's just say that I'm even scarier than Inuyasha when I'm mad."

Sango took a break with her ongoing conversation with Kirara to nod her head, "Yep, she really is."

Kagome glared at her friend, "Hey!", however, Sango was too caught up in her conversation with Kirara to notice.

"Alright I promise Kagome-sama, that I will return. Just let me be."

Kagome flicked Myouga off of her shoulder, "okay, go away then."

Myouga scurried off.

"Who was that?"

"Just a cowardly flea."

"of course.."

"I guess.. that we are going to be leaving pretty soon… are you feeling better?"

"Well, it's going to take longer than I though for my energy to fully regain, but I'll be fine."

"Thanks.. We really appreciate it."

"Well, I had to make up for all those time's I tried to kill you all."

"What exactly do you plan to do, now that Naraku is dead.. And you can really stop stalking us, we're not going to hurt you… unless you give us a reason too.."

Kagura smirked, "Don't worry about that, mainly, I'm done with being evil, I plan to just lay low and be free, enjoy not having someone holding your heart in their hands, oh, and I'm also going to keep avoiding Seshoumaru."

"Eh? Seshy's been bothering you?"
"Oh, he refuses to believe that you could have killed Naraku, and his pride's too big to just come and ask you all who did it, so he's chasing me around since he knows I'm the only other person who was there that is still alive. I've successfully avoided him so far, but I'm beginning to tire of this game, and besides, that little girl he carries around is starting to get tired. Oh, and did you just call him Sesshy?"

Kagome giggled, Sesshoumaru was *so* weird, "Well, good luck with that.. And yes, I did just call him Sesshy, I picked it up from Rin, and you should start refering to him as that too, as he finds it very embarrassing.. hmmm… I guess we better be going, before Inuyasha comes and gets us,", Kagome broke off as she glanced at Sango, who was still enjoying her conversation with Kirara, " Sango! Get over here and stop having a conversation I can't understand."

Sango stopped talking to Kirara and made her way over to Kagome and Kagura.

"What?"

"The sun's rising, we should really be getting back.."

"I guess your right…Kagura, I really appreciate all you've done for use.. Thanks… if you ever need anything, all you have to do is ask.. Unless of course it involves killing innocent people."

"Your welcome.. Though doing nice things still feels strange.."

"Bye Kagura.", Kagome waved as she went to board Kirara, "And as for you Kirara,you better not be saying bad things about me!" Kirara meowed.

'Say bad things about you? Never..'

Sango turned to glare at Kirara, "Be nice Kirara, Bye Kagura."

Kagura watched as Sango hopped aboard Kirara. Mimicking what she had saw Kagome do, she waved at them both, "Bye… Sango… Kagome.."

~*~

Inuyasha was seriously getting tired of waiting, it was boring, it was annoying, and it involved not doing anything.

"Runt, are you sure you don't smell any blood?"

Shippo shook his head, "No Inuyasha.. You know, your nose works too."

"Feh."

Miroku was sulking in a corner, "I still can't believe you left this decision up to *Shippo*, what if they're dead Inuyasha? It's all Shippo's fault."

Shippo stuck his tongue out at Miroku.

"Shut up monk. Do you think I would have went with Shippo's decision if I though Kagome or Sango might be in danger?"

Miroku sighed, "I guess not."

"That's right, now stop whining."

Miroku was seriously not having a good day. First he had gotten attacked by a strange bird demon. Then he had found out that his baby was probably going to die. Then Inuyasha had tried to kill him by putting him in a tree. And then he had woken up to someone kicking him. Oh yeah, and Sango had ran away to do kami knows what. No, this was definitely not his idea of a good day.

Shippo became alert all of a sudden, he sniffed at the air.

"What is it? What do you smell? Is it blood? Is Kagome alright?", Inuyasha began sniffing at the air, obviously in a panic.

"No.. I don't smell anything.. I hear something.. It's… a crackling noise.. It's-"

His sentence broke off as a beam of purple light shot through the wall and at Miroku.

"coming closer.", Shippo finished his sentence, a little too late as it seemed.

"ya think?", Inuyasha watched as the purple light enveloped Miroku and brought him into the air. It amazed him that Kaede was still asleep.

Normally, he would have tried to defeat the evil purple stuff, however, this time, something stopped him, and he wasn't quite sure what. Intuition? Maybe. Just something that told him to stay put.

"Do you think we should help him?", Shippo thought that *something* needed to be done, after all, Miroku was being suspended in the air my purple light, "Hey, it matches his robes.."

"Nah, he's fine."

"You sure?", Shippo's eyes traveled downwards as Miroku slammed into the floor.

"Um.. I was.."

Shippo gasped, "Inuyasha! Look at his head!"

Inuyasha noticed that two forms were emerging from the top of Miroku's head. Two, floppy, brown dog ears. Not dog ears like his own, these were floppy, they went up and then the tips of them hung over, they were fuzzier too.

Inuyasha sighed, so, this was what Sango had been going to do, "Shippo turn into a board."

"Um... alright", Shippo preceded to turn into a wooden board, It really was best not to question him when he got that look in his eye.

Inuyasha picked up the board, approached Miroku, and pounded him over the head with it really hard once.

Inuyasha sat the board down. Shippo turned back.

"Why did you do that?"

"Because I'm not in the mood to hear anyone screaming about their ears being gone and ordering me to make the noises stop."
When Kagome had screamed about it he had found it cute and amusing, but if Miroku did...

Shippo didn't really understand what Inuyasha was talking about, but felt it best not to challenge him, "Oh."

Inuyasha grabbed Miroku in a not at all gentle manner and tossed him out on the futon. He moved over to a corner and sat down, leaning up against the wall. "Go to sleep Shippo, Kagome will be back in the morning."

"How do you know?"

Inuyasha closed his eyes, "Because, Miroku has fluffy dog ears."

"Oh."

Shippo hopped atop Inuyasha's shoulder.

Inuyasha opened one eye to look at him quizzically, but made no move to remove the kitsune.

Shippo glanced over at Miroku and his fluffy dog ears. He laughed at him.
Inuyasha opened his eyes to see what Shippo was laughing at.

"Inuyasha. Miroku has fluffy dog ears!"

Inuyasha of course already knew that, but now he was seeing the funniness in it. The monk had fluffy dog ears.

He almost felt sorry for the poor guy, how degrading, of course, that didn't stop him from laughing as well,
for, Miroku had fluffy dog ears.
