Chapter 1: The Transformation

' I can't let Naraku get to Rin.' Sesshoumaru thought while rushing toward Naraku. 'I can at least fight him and give her time to run.'

"FLUFFY!" Rin rasped in pain. Sesshomaru glared, his stomach twisting as he heard the pain in her voice.

"Naraku."

Naraku strangled Rin with his hands with an intense gaze and a smirk on his face.

"Naraku, I'm here now put her down and fight with the only one who can defeat you." Sesshoumaru stated calmly despite his anger. Naraku could sense the anger rolling off of him in waves.

"Is that so?" Naraku questioned in his usual calm melodious voice. "Then why did you bring InuYasha to help you?" Naraku wondered, seeing how mad Sesshoumaru could get.

Sesshoumaru lunged at Naraku, his claws dripping with poison. Naraku dodging Sesshoumaru's rash move, threw the struggling girl to the ground like a rag doll. He lunged into the air then landed right on the dog demon's back, knocking him to the ground as he did so. Black tendrils sprouted from his body and pinned the dog lord to the ground. He laughed.

Sesshoumaru turned his head to Rin's scared face. Sesshomaru grimaced at himself, 'Fool!'

"Go!" he whispered harshly, with Naraku wrapping his roots around the dog demon at incredable pressures. "Run!"

She struggled to get up, but managed to push her self off the ground. She started to move away from him but hesitated before turning to run away.

After she had gone, he looked at Jaken and said, "Watch her, and if you don't, I'll torture you instead of killing you." Naraku laughed harshly knowing there wasn't any way Sesshoumaru would live through this, besides, he wanted to have Sesshoumaru die slowly. Naraku had then, raised his hand and forced it into his back injecting a slow moving poison. Once that was done, he removed himself from Sesshomaru then stood to look down upon the demon.

Suddenly, Naraku looked out into the distance, seeing something that wasn't there, but feeling something that must have been. He looked frustrated, then bounded off without another word.

Sesshomaru gritted his teeth, determined to not cry out in pain. 'I have got to live. I want to see Rin again, I want to see her grow up.'

"Over here! I hear some one." Sesshoumaru heard.

"Jaken!" Sesshoumaru wheezed. He wasn't very audible, but Jaken managed to have heard. He gladly ran towards the voice of his Lord looking even more worried than usual as he approached.

"Yes, Lord Sesshoumaru?" Jaken asked once he was beside his Master.

"You once said a demon could join with a close by human to save their life."

"Yes master fluf... I mean… Sesshoumaru, but the human must know the demon." Jaken stated hesitantly, not wanting to upset him.

"That's what I want you to do! At least until the poison is out of my veins. The humans blood could help save me. It isn't infected and the poison would not transfer into bodies."

"Okay! You want to join bodies with Rin?" He asked hopefully.

"NO!" He growled. "Kagome is over there." Sesshoumaru said looking in the direction he had heard her voice.

"Okay." He said slowly as he struggled to push Sesshomaru onto his back. "But this may hurt a little bit." Jaken lifted his staff then rammed the staff of heads through Sesshoumaru's abdomen, only stopping when he hit his lord's spine. Jaken mumbled some words. Sesshoumaru, considering the fact that he had a stick shoved through most of his stomach, tried moving as little as possible through the pain.

With a hushed hissing noise, white mist began to seep from the woman's mouth from the staff of heads and began heading towards Kagome. Sesshoumaru's eyes widened as his body slowly disappeared.

"Over here I hear some one!" Kagome yelled. They had been trying to find Kohaku for Sango. She had just seen her brother beside Naraku! They were so close! She just had to believe it!

"Kagome slow down!" Shippou yelled.

"uuhh Kagome I have a slight question." Inu Yasha said. By the dull tone in his voice Kagome knew he was going to prove he was right at some thing and she was acting like a complete idiot.

"What Inu Yasha?" Kagome said rather annoyed.

"Do you sense jewel shards over there?"

"Actually…yes, but they are farther than the sounds I keep hearing." she admitted. Knowing he had a point, she just turned around and started following the jewels.

Her eyes narrowed and she stopped walking. She noticed a slight mist coming from that area. Well…actually it was coming towards her. "How strange," She mumbled.

She screamed. Sharp and terror filled. InuYasha unsheathed his sword and stepped in front of Kagome, pushing her behind him so he could protect her. He turned around. "Kagome I don't see anything." he then noticed that she had fallen to the ground.

She rolled around the ground screaming and kicking. Her arms thrashed about her body as if trying to pull the mist off.

"HELP ME! Get it off!"

All Inuyasha could do was stare. "I- don't know how to help you!" he yelled throwing his sword to the ground. "Kagome there's nothing on you."

She yelled her frustration to the sky, then screamed even more as a mist emitted from her mouth and began covering her body.

"Kagome!" Sango shouted helplessy, then knelt beside her. Sango moved to touch Kagome's arm, but pulled her hand away quickly.

"What is it Sango?" This from Miroku.

"Her skin. "It's changing from icy, to really hot."

Then, she just stopped screaming.

Sango stood and backed up.

They watched Kagome blindly through the mist.

As it finnally cleared, they all noticed…something was different about her.

Slowly she began to change into a white haired version of herself, with demon eyes and light blue crescent moon on her forehead.

InuYasha was trying to figure out what was going on as he picked her up to put her on her feet. He began to gently shake her awake, though, her eyes were open it was all he could think of. "Kagome? Kagome, are you ok?" She stared off blindly.

"Kagome!" She came around Her eyes focusing then narrowing with frustration.

"Kagome? How dare you call me that! You idiotic half breed!" She said in a

deep voice.

"Brother?" Inuyasha startled.

"Yes, it is I."

"He's not my brother! Kagome's voice came, shocked and disgusted by the thought.

"Yes, he is my half brother!"

"If he was my half brother I would be a demon!"

"I am DEMON!"

"And if I was his brother I would be hanging around with a little girl and some ugly toad thing!"

"RIN!" Sesshomaru realized. "If he hurt her, I'll make sure his little half demon ass is shredded." Kagome got up and started to run but grabbed Inu Yasha's arm as they moved by him.

"You brainless wench! I need to protect Rin."

"Don't you call me a wench! I'll use my arrows." She warned.

"You will only succceed in hurting yourself. You see, I have taken over your body."

Every one stared in awe, only Miroku had laughed, until Sango hit him over the head with her boomerang.

"Sesshoumaru?" Inu Yasha hesitated, thinking he would sound really stupid.

"What?" the deeper voice said. "I need to make sure Naraku did not bring harm to Rin!"

"Well if we are going after Naraku. Then lets go!" Kagome let go of InuYasha's arm and let Sesshoumaru take control of her body, one thing she never thought would happen! She barely knew what was going on, but one thing was certain. This was her body, her mind, and she would be the one to decide what they would do with it…what she would do with it.

They had been running for about thirty minutes when they finally came to Rin and Jaken. Sesshomaru had been frustrated that they had been so far, but was relieved they followed his orders.

Rin cried as she sat, perched, on a boulder.

"Jaken I said to watch her and make sure she didn't get hurt." Sesshoumaru growled through Kagome's body. Rin looked around for Sesshomaru began to cry once more, only seeing Kagome and the gang.

"My Lord, she was crying because she saw me transfer you into Kagome's body and she thought I killed you." Jaken said in fear.

"Rin it's true, I have to stay in this body till I am healed and can fight Naraku again." Sesshoumaru assured in a softer tone kneeling beside her and hugging her, something he rarely did. He thrilled to see her alive.

"So…"Miroku began. "You took over Kagome's body?"

"Yes." Said sesshomaru absent mindedly. "Naraku had poisoned me, I had no other choice."

"What are we supposed to call you now?" Shippo asked innocently.

Sesshoumaru and Kagome both said their name at the same time, both angry and shocked that he would ask such a stupid question.

Sesshomaru growled. "I will be addressed as Lord Sesshomaru."

"It's MY body so I'll be called by MY name!"

They began to argue with each other.

"Hey." Said Sango. "How 'bout we call you both Kagomaru...that's what it sounded like when you both said your names." She suggested meekly.

"That's a great idea!" offered Miroku and shippou.

Kogomaru crossed their arms.

"What ever." Said Kagome stubbornly.

Sesshomaru hesitated, not really liking the idea, but could offer nothing better. Her will was strong, there would be no around this issue otherwise.

"So be it." Answered Sesshomaru reluctantly.
