AN: Firstly let me thank all of my readers for their support from the past few days. I know that this story hasn't been updated as frequently as the other two in the Inu Tales series and I promise to make up for that soon (I'm working on chapters three and four simultaneously), anyway, I'll blab more on the AN at the end of this chapter. Here it is!
The Little MerKag
Changes, Discoveries, And Long Leather Jakens
Chapter Three
~*~*~*~Last Time~*~*~*~
Somewhere in her room, Princess Kagome sobbed. And somewhere in her cave, an evil queen, was laughing.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"I swear it! There was a girl!."
"Come on Inuyasha."
~*~*~*~Now~*~*~*~
~*~*~*~In The Sea~*~*~*~
~*~*~*~The Festival~*~*~*~
The festivities were glorious, it was a bright beautiful summer dawn (sun is about to rise) and mer-people young and old were enjoying themselves. At least most were, Sango and Shippou were off floating sullenly somewhere, sad that their friend had missed out on the fun.
"I tell you it's not fair, Kagome has been looking forward to this since she was six"
"She'll get over it, we can get her something from the surface world."
"I guess."
All eyes turned upwards as the sun began to rise and half of the mer- people, mostly the young ones, started to swim upwards and popped their heads out of the ocean, closing her eyes as they felt a tingling sensation go down their spines, those still in the ocean looked up to see fins change into legs, and the former mer-people, kicking towards the surface. It was always this way, once every fifteen years, mer-people could visit the surface for one day. As long as one could remember Princess Kagome had looked forward to her day on land, and though she was in the thoughts of many, no one seemed to realize, that the young princess, was not in her room . . . .
~*~*~*~The Evil Sea Miko's Grotto~*~*~*~
Young Princess Kagome looked around nervously as she followed Naraku and Kouga (lol) , two eels into what was known as The Evil Sea Miko's Grotto.
"Are you sure we're going the right way?"
"Yessssss, we're almossssst there."
"Lady Kikyou will help you, for ssssssure."
"A . . . Alright"
Approaching a dim glowing light Kagome laid eyes upon what seemed to be a very old, wrinkled, version of what must have once been a beautiful woman. If she were older, or if the old woman was a bit younger she would have thought they were related. She had to stop herself from cringing when the miko's dark eyes met her own, and then ran over her form, her head nodding as if in approval.
"Yes, Yes. Tell me Princess, what is you desire?"
"I. . . . I want . . . well I want . . ."
"Out with it!"
"I want to be human, so that the one they call Inuyasha will love me."
"Kukukukukukukukukukukukukuku . . . yes, I still have some of the potion from the last time someone asked for that unique gift."
"So it can be done?"
"Yes my child, but I must have something in return?"
"I. . . I didn't bring any money."
"No, not money. . . . your voice. . . . I want your voice."
"My voice? But I . . ."
"Do you want to be human girl?"
"Yes . . ."
"Then I want your voice."
". . . . . Alright, you can have my. . ."
Kagome did not get to finish her sentence for upon that instance she felt a rush go through her, and watched as a beautiful jewel came from her mouth and went to the sea miko's hand.
"This jewel holds your voice, and it is time to keep."
". . ."
"You will have one month to be human, but. . . if your Inuyasha does not marry you by the end of that month then you shall be destined to become nothing but sea foam."
" . . ."
"Then it shall be! Kukukukukukuku!"
Tossing up the bottle of potion the evil sea miko spilt the contents over Kagome, and soon she felt her legs tingling and then the rush of water to her lungs. Coughing desperate Kagome started kicking towards the surface with the help of Naraku and Kouga. As soon as she was on land she knelt down and caught her breath before feeling a familiar touch on her shoulder, looking up she was shocked to see a human version of Sango.
"Kagome?"
". . ."
"What happened Kagome?!"
". . ."
"You. . . . you can't talk can you?"
The silence that followed was enough to tell Sango everything. Quickly covering Kagome in her long leather jacket (lol I put long leather Jaken when I first typed this, hence the title) her, she took her off to get some clothing, and to figure out how to explain everything to what would be a very angry sea Queen.
~*~*~*~On The Land~*~*~*~
Inuyasha let out an exasperated growl as he scared away yet another nurse. As soon as he had come home from the hospital his idiot brother had insisted upon hiring a nurse to look after him. Though Miroku had been let off the hook, the doctor insisted that he must have hit his head on something and that his hallucinations were probably a result of such an accident. Still, he couldn't get the memory of the girl who had saved him out of his mind. He had only seen her for a minute, but sure enough the vision of her had stayed with him for all three days since he had been rescued. He was disrupted from his thoughts however when he looked outside his already darkening window and was shocked to see several shooting stars. Outside he could hear the maids squealing delightedly and caught the words "meteor showers" and "make a wish" through his door. Raising his brow he slipped out of his bed and went out to his balcony, watching as the meteors fell down onto the beach he closed his eyes and was about to make his wish when something caught his eye, a cloud of dark hair and a softly humming voice, hauntingly familiar to the one he had heard on the beach, it was her. Bounding down the stairs of his mansion he headed off to the beach like a maniac, with Rin, Sesshoumaru and his butlers Myouga and Jaken (Jaken and Myouga are butlers, na na na na . . . ahem . . . back to the story) trailing behind. Before he could speak a word to the beautiful maiden she raised her head coyly and said in a voice as sweet as her memory,
"My name is Kikyou."
