A Miko's Transformation
Author's Note: At the end of this chapter there will be a choice for you to make. Choose wisely and Kagome will be with her true love. Choose incorrectly and Sango will lose her true love.
Chapter One
"Kagome, honey, I need to talk with you in private." Mrs. Hirigashi said walking to the well.
"Alright, mom, I'll be there in a minute." Kagome yelled from her bedroom.
Running down the stairs with her backpack, Kagome went to the well where her mother was waiting patiently.
"You probably already know what I'm going to say, but I will say it anyways, you need to find the type of demon you want to be, you are already 17 and you don't have much time left." her mother said handing Kagome a rose colored pendent with a demon claw etched on it.
"Keep this with you always to protect you." with that Kagome's mom left her daughter deep in thought.
Kagome nodded her head alittle stunned that her mother just gave her the family demon pendent.
'This means that it really is time for me to start changing into different demon forms.' she mused jumping into the well.
Once on the other side, Kagome was immediately pounced on my a small red and orange kitsune.
"Kagome you have to save me from Inu-Yasha, he's been using me as a punching bag!" Shippo cried climbing up onto her shoulder.
"Don't worry, your safe now." Kagome murmured calming the kit down.
As the duo started walking towards the village, Kagome lost herself in deep thoughts about her demon forms.
'I could become a kitsune, that way I could protect and care for Shippo like I should.' Kagome thought quickly glancing at the kit who was currently going through her bag looking for treats.
Unaware of where she was going, Kagome bumped into a solid wall or what felt like a solid wall, until it opened its mouth.
"Oi, wench, watch where your going." a gruff voice scolded holding onto her arms making sure that she didn't fall.
"Sorry, Inu-Yasha, I just have alot on my mind at the moment."
The hanyou huffed at her apology but let the incident slide without making a big deal out of it like he usually would, until he got a good look at her face.
"You look like hell, woman, are you alright?" Inu-Yasha inquired getting closer to her face to make sure that she was okay.
"It's nothing Inu-Yasha, I just AAAAAAACCCCCCCHOOOOOOOOOO!"
In a bright flash of light, that temporarily blinded both demons, Kagome felt the beginnings of the transformation into the first of many demon forms that she would go through.
Once Shippo and Inu-Yasha were able to see correctly again they saw a female kitsune in Kagome's place. Her long white hair was hanging down to her hips and her gold eyes were wide with shock.
"What the hell.....who are you?" Inu-Yasha demanded pulling out the testaiga.
"It's me, Kagome, listen Inu-Yasha would I really have Shippo on my shoulder if I had tried to kill myself?" she grounded out knocking the sword away with a flick of her wrist.
"What the hell happened to you?" he yelled again only this time he grabbed her arm to pull her closer, inspecting her ears, hair, eyes, and finally her tail.
"Momma, are you alright?" came a timid cry from her shoulder, reminding her of the baby kitsune on her shoulder.
"I'm okay, but I suggest that we find the others so that I don't have to repeat this over and over." Kagome moaned walking towards Kaede's hut where she found the others.
Once the others were convinced that it was really Kagome only in a demon form they settled down and waited patiently for her to begin explaining what was going on and why. During her explanation Sango had leaned closer to her and began to examine her the same way Inu-Yasha had done.
"So you have the ability to become any type of pure blooded demon?" Miroku asked trying to comprehend everything that he had just heard.
"Until my 18th birthday and then I have to choose a form and stay that way forever."
During the entire explanation Inu-Yasha had been sitting in his corner silently, until he couldn't contain his rage any longer.
"I don't believe this, all you have to do is wait and suddenly your a pure demon!" he yelled before storming out of the hut.
Stunned Kagome sat back down on her mat, half confused and half guilty at the half-breeds statement and what it meant to her.
"Forget him, momma, now you can be kitsune and nobody will be able to say your not my mother!" Shippo squealed jumping into her lap and snuggling up against her stomach.
"Yes but Shippo, you have to remember that until I reach my 18th birthday that I will keep changing into different demon forms."
Shippo looked down for a few minutes before realizing something that could help persuade his mother to remain kitsune when the time came for her to decided.
'Momma needs a mate, I'm sure that's one of the main reasons that could sway her decision.'
"How are you going to choose which type of demon to be?" Shippo asked with a small glint in his eyes.
Unaware of the kit's motives, Kagome thought back to what her mother had told her.
"Well I need a mate with a true heart and loves me for me or else I won't be able to keep the demon form I want and I will revert back to human and then I might die if I do."
Nodding thoughtfully the kitsune crossed his arms and began to ponder this while Miroku and Kaede asked her questions.
"How long will you retain this form?" the monk asked inching closer to the now demon miko.
"For two weeks and then I will go back to human for another two weeks." Kagome said playing with her tail.
"So child, ye are a true demon at this very moment?" Kaede inquired.
Kagome nodded not really understanding where this was heading and waited for her mentor to finish.
"Then how is it that ye are still able to hold the sacred jewel and keep it purified, where as most demons would start to burn or the jewel would go black." the old miko asked crouching down in front of the stunned girl.
"I hadn't really thought about that, I guess because I still have my miko powers."
The others nodded, agreeing with the transformed miko and soon they began discussing how Kagome's new form would aide them in battle and unknown to Kagome, Miroku had started to inch closer to fox girl.
"Since your a kitsune, you'll have the ability to transform into different things." Sango said eyeing Miroku warily before knocking the monk in the head with her boomerang just to make sure he didn't try anything.
"That's right, momma, I could teach you if you want me to." Shippo stated pulling Kagome to the hut's entrance.
"Hold on Shippo, let me get my bow, just so I have something to fight with if I can't get control of my new powers."
Smirking Shippo ran on ahead making sure that the clearing he had chosen was empty, he sent up a howl that would call any male kitsune's in the area to his aid and his mother's.
'If this works like I planned, momma will find a good mate and will stay kitsune.' Shippo thought waiting patiently for someone to enter the clearing.
The sound of rustling leaves caught his attention and suddenly a strange male fox demon appeared, a few minutes ahead of Kagome who had an arrow ready to launch.
Startled by the appearance of the male demon Kagome dropped her bow and arrows, taking up an instinctive stance born of pure instinct.
Confused the newcomer put up his hands in a gesture of peace and made sure that he stayed completely still until he was sure that Kagome wouldn't attack him.
"I don't mean you any harm, but I heard a kit's cry and came to see what was wrong, please don't hold this against me my dear fox."
Turning to Shippo, Kagome saw a guilty look pass over his face and suddenly understood who had sent up that howl and walked over to him.
"Shippo, did you send up that howl on purpose?" she asked raising an eyebrow.
Shippo glanced over at the male and saw the stern glance he was giving him and the lustful look he was giving his mother.
"I think I'm in trouble."
