In the well Kagome was surrounded by the familiar blue light that always came when she was traveling in between times. Almost as soon as it started, it ended, and once again Kagome found herself at the bottom of the well with the familiar roof of the well house over her head.

Kagome sighed 'What am I going to say to my mother? How will she react?'

Reaching up she grabbed hold of the rope ladder that was hanging into the well, 'Might as well get this over with,' she thought to herself as she began to climb up.

Strangely enough, Kagome was oddly calm about the whole situation, 'Talking with that demon allowed me to get a load of my chest, or maybe it's my demon nature starting to take hold. Kanna is the only other void demon I know of and she always seams calm and in control, to bad she's with Naraku. If she wasn't I probably would seek her out first instead of going to this Genkai lady the demon told me about. Speaking of that demon, he seamed nice. It makes me wonder if all those mindless demons that the group would kill like it was nothing weren't so mindless at all.'

By the time she finished her musings she was at the top of the well and began to climb out. Turning back to the well she pulled up the rope ladder, "No point in leaving this here. I'm not coming back anytime soon and I don't think they will be either." she muttered to herself.

Going to the door of the well house she put her hand on the door. "Her goes nothing" she said as she opened the door and stepped outside.

Outside the sun was setting over the horizon, the birds were chirping, and the grounds of the shrine were empty of people. Kagome looked around, 'looks like Mom is in the kitchen, Sota is in his room, and Grandpa is in the back…wait, how do I know that? All I was doing was just looking around and extending my senses… (Kagome mentally hits herself) Du, I'm a demon so I have demon senses now. Well at least I'm not an animal demon, I don't think I would want to smell Grandpa that much, hehe.'

Walking up to the house she called in, "Mom I'm home!"

Immediately she felt her mother come to the door but before she opened the door Kagome called out, "Mom wait. There's something I have to tell you and show you, and it would be best if you were sitting down to hear and see it."

This startled Kagome's mom, "O-ok dear, I will be waiting in the kitchen. Do you want your grandfather and brother to here the news too?" she asked not sure what to expect from her daughter.

"Sure mom that would be great, I will save the amount of times I need to explain what happed." Kagome replied.

From her vantage point outside to door Kagome could hear her mom call Sota and her grandfather to the kitchen and tell them to sit down and wait for Kagome. Kagome took a deep breath, "It's now or never" as she stepped into the house.

Rounding the corner she came accost the startled faces of her family at the table, "Well, where to begin?" she said with a small smile.

After explaining the situation and repeating the story a total of three times her family stopped harassing her with more questions and together they resealed the bone eater well back up. "There, now that dame InuYasha won't be able to come through and if you want to go back we can always remove the seal." said Kagome's grandfather with a smile as he placed a caring hand on Kagome's shoulder.

Smiling Kagome turned to him, "Thanks Grandpa."

"Come on, lets go in, it's past ten o'clock. There's some food left over from dinner that I can heat up for you Kagome and in the morning we can figure out where this Genkai person is." said Kagome's mom.

Kagome woke up early the next morning and no mater how hard she tried, she couldn't go back to sleep. Sighing she got up at made her way to the bathroom as quiet as she could to avoid waking up the others. (as a void demon she is naturally stealthy and makes almost no noise when walking normally, so when she is walking as quietly as possible, she could walk an inch past a mouse and not have it notice her. In other words, what she did was overkill on the stealth).

Once in the bathroom, she quickly got into the shower and spent the next twenty minutes getting every trace of dirt off her self. Stepping out of the shower, she wrapped herself up on a towel and went over to the mirror in the bathroom.

Hesitating for a moment, she took a deep breath and used her hand to clear away the steam from the glass. She took a good long look at the changes that happened to her body. The hair and skin color were shocking enough, but what disturbed her the most was the change in her eye color from brown to charcoal black. She liked her brown eyes and the change in eye color would be the most confusing thing to explain to people that knew her before her change.

Letting out the breath that she was holding in, she slipped out of the bathroom and made her way to her bead room.

Once she was in her room she discarded the towel and began to try to find some clothes that would fit her. Luckily for her, her bras and underwear still fit her and she quickly put them on. Unfortunately, that is about all that fit her. None of her school uniforms would fit and the same goes for her regular clothes.

Finally she found a casual black dress that looked like it would fit. It originally only went down to her mid thigh and was extremely tight fitting. But now it went down to her knees and was loose enough that she could move around uninhibited, but wasn't overly baggy, the neck was loose, and the sleeves that were supposed to be shorter were now down to her elbows. Gathering her snow white hair she pulled in back into a ponytail and held it in place with a black hair tie.

Quickly pulling out a small green backpack (she forgot to bring her yellow one home with her) she put into it a couple of pairs of bras and underwear, some socks a blue two piece bathing suit, two white t-shirts that still fit, two spandex black paints, and another black dress similar to the one she was wearing now. She also placed a water bottle inside the backpack and sealed the whole bag up.

Lifting it onto her shoulder with ease she made her way downstairs to get some breakfast.

Coming into the kitchen she was greeted by her family and sat down at the table to eat some eggs and toast that her mother prepared for her.

"Kagome, I found out where this Genkai person lives. She has a shrine on the outskirts of Tokyo, and you just have to take the red line north for five stops and then take the blue line east for two stops and walk about fifteen minutes north." said Kagome's mom.

(I don't know how Tokyo's train/subway system works, so I'm just using the red/blue line designation for the different tracks that can be found in cities in the US)

"Thanks mom!" said Kagome.

Quickly finishing her breakfast she cleaned off her plate and prepared to leave. She grabbed her wallet and put it into the right hand pocket on the front of her dress and was putting on her black boots when her Grandfather came up to her.

"Here, I took the liberty of buying the subway pass for you in advance. There should be enough money on it to get there and come back."

Taking the pass and giving her grandpa a hug she said "Thank you Grandpa." Turning to the rest of the family she shouted, "I'm off, see ya soon!"

"Be careful Kagome, and good luck!" came the reply from her family.

The trip to Genkai's shrine was uneventful. Kagome got some stares because of her white hair, but her now natural ability to move undetected allowed her to slip through most of the crowds unnoticed.

Approaching the shrine she was taken aback by the sheer amount of steps that were there leading up to it, but walking around in past had it's advantages and she was in excellent shape.

As she was halfway up she could sense that Genkai (or so she assumed) was up there with what appeared to be demon with an icy aurora. This gave Kagome confidence knowing that Genkai hopefully wouldn't try to kill her on the spot just because she was a demon.

Reaching the top of the stairs Kagome took a moment to admire the view. The shrine was large and there was a beautiful forest surrounding it.

Kagome walked up to the door of the shrine and knocked hard on the door. Soon she felt that Genkai was coming to the door and that the other demon seamed to try to hide in a room.

The door suddenly opened revealing a small old lady who despite her age looked like she could kick you ass from here to Sunday.

"Who are you and what do you want?" Genkai asked in a gruff tone of voice.

"A bug that needs squashing sent me." Kagome replied in the fashion that the centipede demon told her to.

This comment brought a smile to the old lady's face, "So that old bug sent you. Let me guess, you need some help, right?"

"Yes" replied Kagome.

"Well then, come inside and we can talk, and you can tell me what you are and what you need."

Quickly Kagome and Genkai were seated at a small table and where soon joined by Yukina with tea.

After the introductions, Kagome told Genkai and Yukina what she was, how she became a void demon, and why she needed Genkai's help.

Genkai was intrigued by Kagome's story and what happened to her. Void demons were rare enough and they had helped constructed the barrier between the demon and the human world so they were almost completely wiped out by other demons in revenge. Also the fact that Kagome was turned into a demon against her will further intrigued Genkai. So much so that she agreed to help Kagome come to terms with her powers.

Time skip: 2 weeks

To say that Genkai was impressed with Kagome's ability to learn her powers would be an understatement. In the two weeks that she had been working with Genkai she had mastered creating the protective barrier around herself and discovered that by manipulating the barrier she could float (move as fast as she could run, being a demon that is slightly slower than InuYasha), become transparent (further adding to her already excellent stealth) and by manipulating the barrier even more she could teleport short distances by folding space around her (it looks like she fades out when leaving and fades in when arriving).

Genkai had also started to work on Kagome's offensive powers by having her create miniature balls of the barrier that she can make and launching them at objects. Also when she squeezes the balls (if you laugh then you're a pervert, lol) they form into the form of a two foot long pole that could act like a sword (think light saber, but not as powerful)

They also discovered that Kagome could remove a person's soul if she places her hand on their chest and concentrates on her void powers to grab hold of the soul. This was discovered through an accident in training when Kagome fell onto Genkai while concentrating on her powers. She halfway removed Genkai's soul before either one knew what was happing.

Even despite the accident Genkai was indeed proud of her new student.

All of the sudden Genkai felt that Yusuke, Kuwabara, Hiei, and Kurama were coming up to the shrine. Not knowing how they would react to seeing another demon (since all demons are supposed to be in the demon world) she quickly told Kagome to get out of sight.

Kagome was nervous as to what was about to happen. She could tell that there were two powerful humans coming their way as well as a fox demon and a fire and ice demon. Kagome quietly floated right above the door and made her self transparent as she backed into the shadows. This insured that no one would even accidentally see her (they can't sense her) all the while she could still watch them.

Right after she hid herself the door flew open and in walked the Spirit detective gang.

Seeing Genkai Yusuke let out a, "Yo! Grandma, good to see you."

Genkai let a frown form on her face even though she was happy to see the boys, "What do you want brat?"

"Well I was wondering if we could spend some time training here?" Yusuke asked sheepishly while rubbing the back of his head.

"That's fine with me, she could probably use someone to train with." replied Genkai.

This response brought a questioning look from Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Kurama while Hiei began to look around the room suspiciously for this other person.

Chuckling to herself, Genkai said, "I guess I'll introduce her to you." Looking up she called out, "Kagome, come here."

Right after Genkai finished speaking Kagome teleported in to the right and slightly behind Genkai (remember she is the same size as Hiei).

Slightly bowing Kagome said, "Hello. My name is Kagome, and I am a void demon."
