"If this girl is like you said, then we have nothing to worry about. You're free for a while."

They felt weird about Koenma's decisions but decided not to ask about it, especially Yusuke, he didn't want to lose his opportunity to have a date with Keiko without interruption.

Chapter 3

@~@~@~ 6 days later ~@~@~@

"Kagome, dodge" yelled Souta as he block the slash from Akira. Kagome dodge Hayami's Flying Leaves attack and charged at him. Souta charged at Akira as well. Both the siblings' swords clashed with their opponents'. After a while, they stopped sparring,

"Wow. You both are fast learners aren't you?" asked an astonished Hayami.

"No doubt about that. You're our best students ever." informed Akira.

Both Souta and Kagome grinned at the compliments their teachers gave. They bowed and thanked them.

"Tomorrow is your birthday, am I right Kagome?" asked Hayami. Kagome nodded.

"Yes, and our 'unleashing' ceremony will be tomorrow night." replied Kagome.

"You better be prepared, kids. The unleash of your demon powers will drained your energy." said Akira.

"We have to go now, Hayami. Well kids, see you tomorrow then. Tsukikage will also come." said Akira. Then he and Hayami left. After they left, Kagome and Souta went back to their house. After they cleaned themselves, Souta played with his play station as usual (though not as often as before) while Kagome went to her room and throw herself on her bed.

'Tomorrow I will become a real demon.' she thought 'I wonder what will Inu yasha's comment be. At least, I'm not a weak girl that cannot fight anymore.'

Kagome had indeed change. She and Souta were trained in their human body so they can protect themselves in weak state. Five days ago, Shizu introduced her fellow demons to her and Souta and declared that they will be their teacher in various things.

Akira was a kitsune who could control fire. He had a well built body and long auburn hair (like Shippo's) which was tied in low ponytail. He usually wore white shirt and baggy jeans so he could fight better. He taught the siblings how to fight with swords and fire magic. He also trained their speed and agility as humans so they could ran as fast as a hanyou. He was a strict teacher, kind-hearted, and always think twice before he acts.

Hayami was a kitsune as well. Unlike Akira, his ability was to control the plants. He was a little shorter than Akira but his body was as well built as Akira's. He had light brown hair which was a little bit longer than Akira's and was tied in a neat braid. He taught them martial arts and hand to hand combat. Since he had more time to spare, he also taught them how to use other weapons besides swords, like whips, rods, dagger and archery. He loved to joke and more cheerful than Akira and Tsukikage, but he was also wise.

Tsukikage was a wolf demon. She had a perfect body for a woman. She had long black, silky hair that went a little pass her butt. She was the only one among their teacher that ever showed them her demon form. It did not have much difference, only her nail became sharp claws, stripes on her cheeks and a wolf tail as addition. She taught them about herbs and supernatural powers like telepathy, reading minds, how to protect mind from being controlled, and also the demon's history. She was a calm woman, graceful, elegant, and kind. She taught Kagome how to walk, speak and act like a proper lady. She taught them how to mask their scent and aura, appearance, even emotions. She said that showing emotions in a battle would make the opponent easier to predict the next move

It was from them that the siblings learned about their father and mother. Their father was a fire kitsune like Akira, while their mother was a silver kitsune that could control plants like Hayami. So Kagome or Souta would possess either their mother's power or their father's. Kagome had asked if there was any possibilities to have both. Akira answered that it was possible but it was also very rare and the one who possessed both power will be very powerful. They had known that their father died because of a sudden attack of demons and that he died protecting them.

Their mother taught them about herbs and potions. She also taught them about different kinds of demons, their abilities and how to defeat them. Their grandfather taught them the art of wars. He also taught them about how to read the movements of the opponents. But still, his the constant blabbering about legends do not stopped. The children didn't mind since demon's legends were more interesting than those of the humans.

@~@~@ The Next Day @~@~@

Today is Saturday. The sky was cloudless and this tonight is the full moon. What a perfect condition for someone's birthday, not to mention that her true form will be revealed this night.

Kagome had miraculously woke up early in the morning. After she took her bath, she went to the kitchen with a big smile on her face.

"What's wrong with you, Kagome?" asked Shizu though, she already knew the answer.

"Today's my birthday and I'll become a full demon at midnight. How can I not be happy?"

Shizu smiled. "Akira, Tsukikage and Hayami will arrive soon. Could you call Souta and Grandpa for me? I'm busy with the food. I think they're in the backyard."

Kagome nodded and went to get them. She found them sitting under the God Tree. As she came nearer, she could tell that they were talking about the legend of Youko Kurama. It was both Souta's and her favorite legend. Souta made Youko as his idol, other than Inuyasha. Kagome smiled and told them that Shizu wanted them in the house.

After cooking, Shizu called for her children. She gave Kagome a midnight blue kimono with a silver fox at the back and flowers embroidered on the sleeves. The obi was yellow. Souta got a light brown kimono with black sash. A reddish brown fox is embroidered at the back and grass pattern decorated the front.

An hour later, the three guests arrived. First, they celebrated Kagome's birthday and talking and have fun until evening.

At the evening, the adults gave the children their presents. Akira gave them a sword each. Kagome's sword was made of a dragon's fang. It is called Tsukaisaga . Souta got a sword made of the fang of the same dragon as Kagome's. It is called Tsukaisuga. They were twin swords. The swords had wind elements, so with the swords, the children could control the wind, either to be used for attack or defense.

Hayami gave them combat clothes. Kagome got a midnight blue, long Chinese outer dress with a fiery phoenix embroidered on the back and slits that went to her hips. The inner garment was a collarless shirt with long sleeves which was light blue in colour. A pair of light blue trousers went with it. Souta got a Chinese boy clothes with dark green outer shirt. The inner one is light green shirt almost identical as Kagome's and light green trousers (somewhat Kurama's but more Chinese). He got a yellow sash along with it so it looked more masculine. A golden dragon was embroidered at the back. Hayami also gave them masks to cover their lower face (like Sango's mask).

[A/N : In short, their clothes were of two layers. An inner shirt and an outer dress like clothes and trousers. For Souta's, It almost looked like Kurama's. Not the pink one.]

Tsukikage gave them flutes. She said that music could always bring peace. The flute was made by an unknown material. It is strong but light. It looks like a metal bamboo flute with flora pattern.

Shizu gave them a pet each (much to the children's delight). They were fire foxes. Both foxes could turn to a larger form, like Kirara, only this one were foxes. Kagome got a pure silver-white one with blue eyes while Souta got a light brown one with black tip at the end of its tail and ear and green eyes. They both had the ability to communicate through mind links.

Their grandfather gave them a necklace each. Kagome's necklace got a rose pendant with a small ruby in the middle. Souta's necklace got a sword with a sapphire imbedded on the hilt. The necklace were made so the siblings could communicate and track the others if they were separated. They were also useful to look for help.

"There!" exclaimed Shizu when the children got their presents. "Now, what is left is Genkai."

"Who's Genkai?" asked Kagome.

"An old friend of mine. We haven't got a teacher to teach you both about your spirit energy. Especially yours Kagome. The Shikon's guardian should be strong."

@~@~@The YYH group@~@~@

'It is boring when you have no mission to do' thought Yusuke. He was with Kuwabara and Kurama in a park. Since the well inspecting mission, Koenma had not call them for anything. Yusuke and Kuwabara, who both love fighting, found this boring.

"Hey, Kurama. Do you have any suggestion what to do?" asked Yusuke.

"Personally, I would like to go to the shrine again." replied Kurama.

"Why is that?" asked Kuwabara "Oh, I get it. You want to see that Kagome chick again" he continued with a grin. Kurama blush slightly and quickly brushed it off.

"N-No. I want to see the tree again. It is not an ordinary tree, you know!."

"Yeah, right." said Yusuke as he rolled his eyes. "Let's go to Koenma's to ask for a mission."
Kuwabara and Kurama agreed and they left for Koenma office.

*~*~* Koenma's Office *~*~*

"Hey toddler"

No response. 'That's weird, every time I call him that, he will get mad and retort back' thought Yusuke. They went in quietly and found Koenma and Botan in front of the monitor, watching something.

"Whoa, that's a huge amount of energy!" exclaimed Kuwabara as he saw what was in the monitor. This snapped Koenma back to reality and switched off the monitor.He turned at them.

"What are you doing here?" Botan asked.

" To ask for a mission. From what was in the monitor just now, I guess we come in a right time." said Yusuke smugly. The monitor just now showed a house which seemed to emits a strong magic.

"You will not. It is not your mission, Yusuke. I'll tell you when there's one." stated Koenma.

"Koenma, could you explained what was on the monitor just now?" requested Kurama.

"No, I'm afraid not, Kurama."

"It is the picture of the shrine which we inspected a week ago. Don't you tell me there's nothing there." said a cold voice.

"Shrimp! How long have you been there?" asked Kuwabara.

"Long enough."

"Explain to us toddler" threatened Yusuke.

"It is none of your business. Now leave"

"What do you mean none of our business? There's a strong magic out there, not to mention in Kagome's house, and you said it is none of our business?!! How if they're hurt??!!" growled Yusuke.

"It is not your business. It is Genkai's. Don't interfere. Now leave!" stated Koenma.

The group leave reluctantly with Botan.

"What happened, Botan. I knew you know something." asked Yusuke. Botan shook her head.

"I don't have any clue either. I was going to report to Koenma about some jobs and I found him watching the monitor intently. He didn't realize I was there until you guys came in."

"Let's ask the old hag." suggested Yusuke. Kuwabara refused.

"It is dark already. We need to rest, Urameshi"

"Using your brain at last, buffoon?" mock Hiei.

"What did you say, shortie?" roared Kuwabara.

Kurama tried to separate them both. "We'll visit Genkai tomorrow. Let's go home for now."

@~@~@Kagome's House@~@~@

"At last you arrived, Genkai. We've been waiting for you. Come in." exclaimed Shizu. "Souta, Kagome come here."

Kagome and Souta obliged. Hayami, Akira, Tsukikage and grandpa also went with them.

"This is Genkai. She's an old friend of mine. And if she doesn't mind, she will be one of your teacher. Genkai, These are my daughter and son. Kagome and Souta. I do hope you receive my request to teach them about spirit energy." introduced Shizu.

"You have indeed change, my dear friend." come the calm voice of Tsukikage.

"I'm not a demon, Tsukikage and to train someone as stubborn as that boy is tiresome." said Genkai. Tsukikage chuckled. "An energetic one he is." she said. Genkai sighed.

"Are you my next students?" she turned to Kagome and Souta. They bowed to her.

"If you receive us as one." replied Souta.

"Who put that barrier around the well house?" Genkai asked.

"That would be Kagome. She is the only one who can do that besides us." stated Hayami. Genkai look astonished.

'She must be very powerful. Well I must trained her and her brother so their power will not fall to the wrong hands'

"Then I'll accept them as my student, Shizu" she declared. Kagome and Souta bowed.

"Let's go out. It's almost time." said Akira. They stood in front of the house near the God Tree, where they got a good view of the full moon. The siblings stood in the center of the ground. When midnight came, they started to glow and wind with golden dust and leaves start to cover them as they hovered on their spots. When the wind ceased, the adults saw their demon features clearly before they (Kagome & Souta) completely unconscious. Hayami and Akira carried both the young demons to their rooms. They went back to the others.

"I can't believe it! They have both the silver and fire foxes abilities." exclaimed Hayami

"Believe it or not, it is the truth. Though their appearance do not show it." responsed Akira.

"Yeah. Souta took those of Shizu's and Kagome Kazu's. But their black hair remains though." said grandpa.

"I have one more thing to ask to all of you." said Shizu "As you know, me and Father won't live for long. If the time come, I want you to take care of them. Will you do it?"

"We will do it for sure." said Tsukikage.

"They can stay with me." said Genkai. Shizu nodded and thank them. The guests leave after that.

*~*~*The next day*~*~*

When Kagome wake up, she felt very dizzy. She put a hand on her head to stop her world from spinning, when she felt something fuzzy.

'What the hell!!' She jumped out of her bed and looked into her mirror. What she saw surprised her. Instead of human ears, now she had a pair of reddish brown fox ears (the color of ordinary foxes) and a bushy tail. Her hair was heel length and turned from raven color to midnight black. Her bangs had grown to shoulder length and framed her face and had the same color as her ears and tail. Her eyes became royal blue and her body became more mature. She had claws and fangs.

She ran downstairs and saw Souta's demon features. He had two fuzzy, silver ears on his head and a bushy tail shorter than Kagome's. His hair grew to shoulder length and was midnight black as Kagome. His bangs were silver and framed his face like Kagome. He became taller (almost as tall as Kagome) and more muscular. He had claws and fangs as well. He stared at his sister wide eyed.

"You look gorgeous, Sis. Can't believe it's you!" he commented.

"Same to you Souta. Now, we have to conceal our demon power so we can live normally." Souta nodded at his sister's statement.

"You're awake already. Come I'll teach you how to conceal your powers and to turn back to your demon form." said Shizu. "Well, you know that you have both fire and silver foxes' power. So, use it wisely." The children nodded. Shizu teach them the spell.

"Oh, we need to give you another name!" exclaimed Shizu.

"For what?" asked Kagome as she eat her breakfast.

"When you're in your demon form, a new name is needed to keep your identity a secret." Shizu explained.

"A name, huh? Lets see." Kagome mused for a while. "I'll take Vixinia. Since I am a vixen now, I think it suit me."

"I'll take Ellon." came Souta's voice. Kagome looked at him. "What?" he asked innocently.

"I thought you will take Youko." she stated.

"I should have my own name, Sis." he replied as he sipped his tea.

@~@~@~Two Days Later~@~@~@

They had came home from the visit to Genkai's house. Kagome and Souta had made a friend there. She was Yukina. The children had stayed there for a night. Now, Kagome had to go back to the Sengoku Jidai

"Mom, I must go to Sengoku Jidai today." Kagome said. She was in her human form now. Hearing this, Souta piped in. "I wanna go too. I'm strong enough now. Besides, the summer holiday was starting, so we don't have to worry about school." Kagome thought for a moment.

"Okay. Prepare yourself. We're leaving soon"

After the took a bath and a breakfast, they began packing. Kagome didn't pack as much as usual since it was more efficient to travel light. Then she and Souta put on a their battle clothes which they got from Hayami, took their swords, flutes, pets, and their necklaces.

"Bye Mom, Grandpa. We're leaving." they shouted and jumped to the well.

Little did they know that this visit will made a major turnabout in Kagome's life.
