"Success!" Naja and Cali cried in unison as the limp form of Kagome was lowered to the ground and the purple glow in the clearing faded.
The miko hit the ground with a soft "FLUMP" as the soft moss of the small clearing they had used to conceal it from Inuyasha cushioning the blow of her fall. Her hair, which seemed to be longer now, all the way down to her upper thighs, seemed to be an jet black carpet lying out beneath her, as if she had planned to bed down there for the night with a black silk tatami mat. Her canines had popped out during the transformation, quickly being replaced by very sharp fangs, which were pearly white, just like her new claws, but they were now red, the same as the nail polish she had put on before the journey. It looked like a ladybug pattern now, as the growth of her nails had cracked and split the polish. She also seemed to have gained a bit of height, as well as width at her shoulders, her muscles seeming to be enlarged, toned to a very fit, sleek look for her. Her eyes had changed as well, from their dark grey, to Inuyasha's light amber. Her chest, as well, had seemed to grow outward, making her much more of a curvy figure. All in all, she was a truly stunning half demoness, even enough to rival a full female youkai's beauty.
Looking upon the now transformed Kagome, Naja smiled. The happiness that radiated from the young miko was contagious. Inu rushed to Kagome, alarmed at the sudden change in smell that he picked up from where he was, just outside of the clearing. However, when he finally caught sight of her, he stopped, mouth opening and closing, eyes widening.
"Ka. Kagome!" He stuttered, one clawed hand reaching out slightly before falling back to his side. Kagome, excited and happy, stepped quickly towards him, her movements quicker, more sure and graceful.
Throwing herself into his arms, she felt him stumble back a little at her sudden strength. His arms wrapped automatically around her, sheltering her from sight with his sleeves. Natural for both, they fit each other just right, her face nestled in the crook of his neck. Inu's clawed hand reached up to stroke her head, and to trail his fingers through her thick locks. His hand was suddenly impeded by her newly appeared fuzzy ears, he took a moment to stroke them lightly, and felt more than heard a purr escape Kagome.
Kagome pulled back a bit, and Inu's hand fell back to his side. Amazement was quite prominent in her face as she spoke, her lips trembling a bit as she seemed to be trying to remember how to make words come from her lips.
"That felt…nice…" She said simply, looking up at him. Inu grinned, reaching up and continuing the gentle petting, making her shiver in his arms as he teased her ears with his fingertips.
Turning to her mate and Shippo, Naja smiled down at them both.
"Come dears," she whispered. "We've outstayed out welcome. We don't want to impede the progress of this young couple."
"But Grandma, all they they're doing is-" He started.
"Shhh! Shoo!" Naja cut him off, giving him "the eye" as he stared hard at the little fox.
Shippo sighed, and scampered a distance away, before looking back, in wait for his once again found family. He didn't want to lose sight of them so soon after he had gotten the back again. He was so lucky! He had family again, even though he had the group it just wasn't the same as blood kin.
Naja's attention, now that Shippo was safely away, moved over to her mate.
"Impede progress eh? I love how you word things." He glanced over at the new couple, just beginning to discover each other, then leaned down and softly licked his lover's cheek.
Naja smiled softly at the sight. "Reminds me of old times," she said softly under her breath, which had caught just slightly in her throat at the endearing lick.
Cali gave her a letch look and a slightly perverted grin. "Old times… Let's add to those times, hmmm?" Taking her hand in his both turned contentedly away from the couple.
"Sure honey," she replied, kissing him on the nose once again, giving it a small nip as she pulled away, then licked his cheek in response, a soft smile on her lips.
Cali grinned in anticipation. "Just as soon as visit the rest of the group, get situated, bathe our grandson, and catch enough game to feed what will be two very famished hanyous, There young human friends and three demons." Cali's grin deflated a bit as he began to realize something.
"It's… my turn… to hunt… isn't it?" He cringed. If there was one thing he hated doing, it was hunting. He had never, ever been good at it, and Naja had been hounding him about it ever since they had gone on their first hunt together.
Naja grinned wickedly at him. "Yep! That's right!" Walking quickly away, she left him with a wave. "Don't be too long dear." She added, looking up at the sky absently as she walked.
Cali just stood there for a second, before rushing after her. "Honey! WAIT!" he cried, tripping over himself a little as he tore after her.
