Starting Out Fresh
Chapter 15: Allies
It was the day after they had come back from their long journey, and they were all exhaushted. Kagome heard someone knock one her door and she got up from her bed and opened the door. She saw a maid there."Milady--"
"Please, call me Kagome."
"Kagome, Lord Sesshomaru wants to see you in his study." Kagome nodded and walked out the door to go to his study.
"Come in." she heard Sesshomaru say once she got to the door. She opened it and found him signing stacks of deeds. He looked up at her and his lips formed a smile. "Well, since we are back, I think it would be a good time to turn you into a demon." It took Kagome a moment to remember what he was tlaking about.
"Okay." she said, knowing that he could sensed her anxiousness.
"Give me one of the Shikon Shards." he stated.She grabbed on off of her necklace and handed it to him. He pinched the large shard until it was comletly covered with blood. "This is going to hurt." he told her. He began pressing the shard into her forehead as she hissed in pain. Finally the shard was inside her forehead. "It will take one week for the transformation to complete." She nodded and left the room.

Kagome rushed to the bathroom once she got up the next day to see if she changed at all. She gasped in amazement. Her hair was all the way down to her waist and there were light blue streaks in them. She walked out of her room for breakfast and everyone looked at her. She got into the dining room. Shippo and Rin ran up to her, squaling about how pretty she looked. Sesshomaru gave her a light kiss. "You're so beautiful..." he managed to get out. She smiled. This is amazing, she thought. And every day she began to change. On the second day he eyes changed to a light blue and you could notice her strips were forming on her face. On the third day the strpis were completly visible and her ears were pointed. On the fourth day, she grew fangs and claws. On the fifth day strips on her arms were visble and on the sixth day blood red strpis formed on her hair. On the last day she had a cresent on her forehead with a broken tear drop over it. She was now a full fledged demon!

"Kagome, I have to leave. My guards have informed me that someone was planning to declare a war onus when we were gone." Sesshomaru said to Kagome. Sesshomaru had meet with her in his study to tell her the news. Rin barged into the room, obviously she had been eavesdropping.
"Rin doesn't want you to go! Rin doesn't want Sesshomaru-sama to die!" Rin said. She started to cry uncontrollably, and Kagome soon began to comfort her.
"Shh, its okay.." Kagome repeated, attempting to calm down the small girl.
"Who is trying to declare a war on us."
"It is a demon, who is unknown to us, but already has the North and South on their side. If we get the Eastern Lands on our side, we will surely win. The Eastern Lands have four times the army than all the other lands put together." Kagome thought of al the people in the army.
"Wait, isn't Koga the leader of the Eastern Lands?" Kagome said.
"Yes, he is. Why?"
"Because I think I can persuade him to become our ally." Kagome said. Everytime she saw him, he was always trying to make her his mate. But Inuyasha always ended up getting pissed off with him around and they would fight eachother until she broke it up. And a few times, she thought of becoming his mate, too. Of course, if she asked him, he wouls surely do it for 'his woman.' Sesshomaru growled deeply.
"What's wrong, Sesshomaru?" Kagome asked him. Rin had finaaly calmed down and began listening to what they were saying to eachother.
"I refuse to let you go to the Eastern Lands to see Koga! He is another man and I don't wan't anything going on between you too." Sesshomaru said angrily. Kagome couldn't help but laugh. Sesshy's jealous of him! Kagome thought.
"No, Sesshy! I'm not going to go by myself! I for one know what he's going to try to do if I go alone! See, Koga likes me and has asked me to be his mate many times." Seshsomaru growled softly. "Anyway, if I ask him to become your ally, he'll surely do it for me!" Kagome explained. "Besides, you're coming with me!"
"How about Rin and Shippo?" Rin asked.
"Sorry, you can't come with us." Kagome sawthe little girl grow depressed and wished the kids could come, but this time it was important. "Come on, Sesshy, let's go!" Kagome said.

"Who is it that comes to the castle of Lord Koga?" a guard bellowed, looking at them. Sesshomaru sighed. Clearly, he had no idea who he was at all.
"It is Lord Sesshomaruof theWestern Lands, with Lady Kagome." Sesshomaru replied to the guard. The guard nodded.
"Lord Sesshomaru, you are granted entrance." The large brown doors started to open and Kagome was in awe. It was as amazing as Sesshomaru's castle. The gray stone walls were mostly covered with portatraits of former Lords and ivy circling around the portraits. The castle had a large golden staircase seperating to the East and West wingwith a red velvet carpet in the middle of the floor. There were crystal chandeliers everywhere. (A/N: I don't know if there were chandeliers, this is what im imagining what the castle would look like).
"Where is Lord Koga?" Sesshomaru said putting on his mask that was free of emotions when he looked at a guard.
"Lord Koga is over in the throne room down the hall." the guard said, pointing to the doors at the end of the hall. Kagome and Sesshomaru went down the hall and when they finally reached the doors, Kagome stopped Sesshomaru.
"I think I should go in first then I'll bring you in once he says yes, because if he sees you, he'll automatically say no." Sesshomaru nodded and Kagome opened the large doors. The room was huge with at leastten diamond chandeliers and a large dining table with a study table at theside. At one corner was afireplace.The throne room had a large throne with black velvet on the seatfor Lord Koga, and a dusty smaller one for a certain person. Guess who?
"WHO LET A DIRTY MUTT---" Koga began to say when Kagome cleared her throat so she could get his attention. He looked over and saw a dog demon Kagome at the doorway.
"Well, what a nice surprise. My woman has finally come for me, but seems to dissapoint me by turning into a mutt. But we can be together, now that that insolent puppy is out of the way! You have finally given your heart to me and you have accepted becoming my mate." Koga suddenly grabbed her waist and Kagome started to blush. Kagome the realized what he was doing and wriggled out of her grasp.
"What is wrong? Does something upset my woman?" Koga began to sniff the air. "There's another mutt here! Now I have heartburn! The dirty mutt is going to pay!" Koga said. Sesshomaru couldn't stand it anymore and opened the door so harshly it almost fell to the floor.
"HOW DARE YOU CALL ME A DIRTY MUTT!" Sesshomaru yelled. Kagome stared at the angry dog demon. She had never seen him do that before.
"Feh. I'm just telling the truth." Koga said camly, smirking at Sesshomaru. Kagome saw his eyes glow red and knew if she didn't do anything, one of them would be dead. She ran in the middle of them.
"Koga, he's with me. I'm his---well, mate." Kagome said. Koga looked surprised and upset at the same time and Sesshomaru gave him a dirty look.
"A unknown demon is declaring war on Sesshomaru and I, and we need help, because the North and South are already agaisnt us. Please Koga?" Kagome said, giving him the puppy eyes.
"Well, I'll do it for my woman." Sesshomaru growled. "I will become the allies of the Western Lands." Koga said. "But why did you become a mutt? I mean--" Kagome glared at Koga and Sesshomaru's claws were dripping poison. "Never mind." Koga said. Kagome smiled at him and pecked him lightly on the cheek.
"Thank you, Koga!" Kagome said happily. Koga watched Sesshomaru take Kagome by the hand and leace in envy.
"One day Kagome will figure out that she should've been with me." Koga said to himself. "She'll regret becoming the mate of a filthy mutt and she'll beg me to take her back." Koga sat down on the throne smirking at the thought of it.
