Chapter Six- The Transformation
A month later
"Ready to go back guys?" Kuronue, Youko, Shippou, Inuyasha, Sango, Miroku, and Kirara were waiting to go back to their time and Kagome said, "We'll have to go in small groups. Maybe three at a time. So, since I have the jewel, I'll have to come back and forth. Sango and Miroku, you come with me first."
The two walked up to her and they all sat on the rim of the well. On the count of three they all jumped in. This continued a few more times until they were all back in the feudal era.
"It's still pretty early," Kagome stated. "We could probably start traveling today."
"That would probably be a good idea Kagome," Miroku said. "With us gone for a month, Naraku probably got even more shards of the jewel."
Everyone agreed, and after a short visit with Kaede, they left. It wasn't long before Kagome sensed a shard and they were chasing after it. They easily killed the youkai and continued on their journey.
That night
They hadn't found any more shards, so they decided to rest for the night. "Hey Sango-chan, want to take a bath?"
"Sure Kagome-chan." They gathered their supplies and headed into the forest. They soon found a hotspring and got in.
"Ah, this feels so good." Kagome was silent a few moments before asking, "Sango-chan, how would you react if I told you that Miroku loved you?"
Sango's eyes flew open and she stared at her friend. Her mouth was hanging open and she managed to say, "He loves me?"
"Well, duh. It's so obvious. Even Shippou figured it out. So, how do you really feel about him?"
Sango blushed and replied, "I love him too."
Then the both of them heard a "Yes!" from the bushes, and they turned to see Miroku crouching on the ground with his hands over his mouth. Kagome pulled an extra towel into the water and wrapped it around herself. She stood and walked up to the monk, who was cowering in fright.
Kagome kneeled down in front of him and whispered in his ear, "Now would be a good chance to ask to talk to her privately. When you get her alone, tell her how much you truly care for her." She pulled back and glared.
"Sango, could I talk to you in private for a minute?"
She nodded and said, "Leave while I get dressed." He turned and walked away. "Kagome, what did you say to him?"
"Nothing at all Sango-chan." She slid back into the water and sighed in contentment. "Just don't kill him if he gropes you. He means well."
Sango nodded and walked in the direction that Miroku went. Kagome watched as her friend disappeared in the foliage.
Now for my own problems. What should I do? I love them both so much. I don't want to hurt either of them, but I can't tell them both.
She slid further down into the water with similar thoughts running through her mind. She sighed and got out. After getting dressed, she decided to take a run. She sprinted out of the clearing and ran through the undergrowth that was blocking her path. What do I do?!?
Ten minutes later she came upon a small clearing with a single hut sitting in the center of it. She cautiously crept up to the hut and tried to see in side of it. Suddenly, the material that was acting as a door was pushed aside as an old woman emerged. Kagome jumped back, startled and was about to run when the woman cackled.
"Well aren't you the pretty little miko? But so much confusion in your aura. How delightful." The old woman laughed again and Kagome shivered. She started to slowly back away when the aged woman said, "Wait, child. Why don't you tell me what is wrong? Maybe I can help..."
"That's alright. I can take care of it myself."
"Ah, so that's it, is it?"
"Wh-what?"
"You are in love with two beings. Am I correct?"
"How did you know that?"
"I read it in your aura, dearie. You can hide nothing from my eyes." She walked towards Kagome and the miko continued backing up, but she soon hit a barrier.
Oh no! Now what am I going to do?
Back at the camp
Sango and Miroku had come back from their talk a while ago and were starting to worry about Kagome. "Could anything have happened to her?"
"Calm down Sango. If Kagome were in danger, Inuyasha would be able to smell her attacker. She is perfectly fi-"
Miroku was cut off by Kuronue, who had suddenly bolted upright from his sleeping position. "Kagome's in trouble."
"What are you talking about Kuronue? I just checked her position five minutes ago. She's taking a run," Youko said.
"Check her position again. I've got a bad feeling. Something is definitely wrong."
Youko took a quick sniff and his eyes narrowed. "You are correct Kuronue. There is someone with her. Someone with high magical energy."
Everyone jumped up and Kuronue and Youko took off. Everyone else followed close behind, wondering what kind of danger their friend was in.
It took almost ten minutes for Kuronue and Youko to get there, and when they did, what they saw truly scared the two bandits.
With Kagome
The witch continued towards her and she said, "Stay away from me."
"Oh, but I plan on helping you choose." She stopped her advance and clasped her hands together. She started to chant an ancient spell and her hands glowed white.
Kagome watched her curiously for a moment before feeling herself being lifted up in the air. She started to glow the same eerie white color that the witch's hands were and her eyes glowed red.
When she was about twenty feet in the air, she started glowing blue instead of white. All of a sudden, unimaginable pain ripped through her body.
From the sidelines, trying to break through the barrier, her friends watched her struggle. When she screamed out in pain the demons in the group growled their anger at the witch.
Kuronue, scared for the girl he loved, flew straight at the barrier, and somehow busted through. He attacked the witch, but right before his claws made contact she finished the spell. Kagome screamed out in pain again and the glowing light completely enveloped her body. Kuronue's claws finished off the witch and he rushed to the light. A few seconds later the light dispersed and Kagome stated to plummet to the ground.
Kuronue caught her and immediately noticed her change. No longer was she a human. Now she was a bat youkai, like Kuronue. Her hair was now past her waist and she had all the features of a youkai (fangs, claws, pointed ears, wings).
"Kagome. Kagome, wake up," Kuronue whispered while gently shaking her. He watched as her lids fluttered open to reveal silver orbs gazing at him.
"Kuronue? What happened?" She looked around and noticed that her sight was a lot better than what it was before. She looked down at her hands and saw claws in the place of her nails. She let out a small "eep" and asked Kuronue again, "What happened?"
Just as he was starting to explain what he saw, everyone else joined them. They all listened and then Shippou asked, "So 'Kaa-san's a demon now?"
"I guess I am Shippou-chan. And from the looks of it, I'm a bat." She looked at her new wings and flapped them a few times. She hovered in the air for a moment before gently landing again. "This might be fun."
"Yes, it might be. Now I have someone to fly with," Kuronue said. "It's not as fun flying by yourself."
Kagome looked excited when she asked, "Can we go now? I want to try it!" She gave her friends a pout and they gave in.
"Just be careful Kagome-chan," Sango said.
"I will. If something happens, Kuronue will be there to protect me. Right Kuronue?"
"Of course."
"Then let's go." She flapped her wings and took off right behind Kuronue. They flew above the trees and Kuronue did a barrel roll in exhilaration.
"You having fun yet Kagome?" She nodded with a smile on her face and he laughed. "Let's go higher."
The higher they went, the more fun Kagome had. When she looked down, she could see their friends as tiny dots in the night, trying to keep up with them. "This is so much fun Kuronue!"
He smiled at her and said, "I know. I've always wanted to take you flying with me, but I didn't think you would like it."
"What's not to like? It's amazing!"
He looked down at their friends again and noticed that they were slowing down. "Kagome, I think that Sango and Miroku have to rest for the night. We need to land." Noticing her sad expression, he quickly added, "But we'll do it again tomorrow, okay?"
Her face lit up again and she nodded. "Okay." They landed and Kagome smiled at them and said, "That was so fun!" She yawned. "Anyone ready to go to bed?"
Everyone got settled and went to sleep.
Kagome couldn't get to sleep, so she thought about what the witch had said to her. 'Oh, but I plan on helping you choose.'
So this is what she meant. She turned me into a bat so that I would choose Kuronue. But, this doesn't change my feelings for Inuyasha. I can't just forget him.
She sat up and looked around at all of her friends. Youko was awake and staring at her in concern and she smiled at him. He cocked his head in question and motioned for her to join him. In a whisper he asked, "Are you alright? You seem troubled."
"I'm fine. I'm just confused."
"About what?"
She glanced around the camp again and replied, "Let's go for a walk."
They both stood up and walked into the forest. A few minutes later, Kagome sat at the base of a tree and sighed. "Youko, I'm not sure how to really explain it in full. But, to put it in simple terms, I'm in love with both Kuronue and Inuyasha. I don't know what to do."
"Kagome, that is to be expected. Inuyasha was your first love. While you were with us you thought that you had gotten over him and fallen for Kuronue. However, when you saw the hanyou again, all of your old feelings came back."
"But what do I do?"
"Nothing for now. You will know in time who it is you truly love."
She nodded and smiled at him again. "Thanks Youko." She gave him a hug and he gave her a peck on the forehead.
"I just hope you make the right choice in the end, Kagome. If I ever find out that you are hurt by the one you choose, he will pay."
"Calm down. I've dealt with heartache before. I can do it again if I have to."
"And I will help you if need be, imouto."
"I never knew you saw me as your imouto," she said, grinning.
"There are a lot of things that you still don't know about me Kagome. One of which is that I would die to protect you or Kuronue."
She moved to sit on his lap and quietly said, "I love you too, Onii-san."
"Perhaps we should get back to camp. You need your rest."
"Actually, I was thinking about going back to my time for a few days."
"We just got back earlier today."
"I know, but I need time to think about my feelings."
"There is one thing I would like to ask before you go."
"What is it?"
"Will you truly be my imouto?" She gave him a questioning glance and he said, "We can become related by blood." He explained that they each needed to slit their hands and place them together. The blood pouring from each wound would mix, giving them each other's blood and making them siblings. Kagome agreed and they quickly performed the ritual.
Their bodies tingle a moment because of the exchange and when they looked at each other, their eye colors had changed. Youko's were no longer pure gold, but gold with silver flecks. Kagome's were the opposite, silver with gold flecks. Other than that small change, nothing else happened.
They smiled at each other and Kagome said goodbye. "Tell everyone I said bye!" She turned and ran back in the direction of the well and Youko watched her until she disappeared. He slowly stood up and walked back to the clearing.
Kagome ran through the woods until she found a clearing and then she launched herself into the air. Instead of going straight to the well she decided to fly around for a little while and have some fun. After an hour of that, she went home through the well.
As soon as she disappeared in the well, a tall figure jumped down from a branch. The figure walked up to the ancient well and laid two fingers on the splintering wood. They said something in an ancient language and the well blazed a bright red color. When the glow died down, the figure laughed and said, "You can no longer interfere, girl. I will have Inuyasha and there is nothing you can do about it."
Um, did I use the correct terms in this chapter? I don't speak Japanese, so I'm not sure if the words I use are right. I'm pretty sure that imouto means little sister and onii-san means older brother. If not, feel free to correct me! I'll be glad to revise the chapter. Don't forget to review please!
