A/N: Well here's the next chapter, it came quicker than expected but here it is and it's done. Well the story went though an overhaul so it is gonna turn out differently then you expected.

Chapter 4: Guests and Surprises

Well with everyone settled and asleep the shadow though it was the perfect time to strike. Sneaking in through the window above the card table, he was ecstatic, "two Sutras in one room and they are oblivious to my plan" He whispered, well Sanzo and Mitsuru shifted in their sleep but to him they showed no signs of waking up. "Hehehe fools" he said. "Really now, you're the fool that came in this room unprepared for the fact that we would wake up" "what?" "Now you could have come in a little quieter and you might have gotten farther" "And maybe if you took a shower we wouldn't be able to smell you". Well now seeing he was outnumbered because all but Mitsuru woke up. "Fine I'll just pull my ultimate move sooner than expected." He started to glow and suddenly everyone felt sleepy. "What the hell is this?" Sanzo said as he slumped down. "I don't know" Hakkai mumbled. Mitsuru woke up just then. Looking around , she noticed the youkai and his power, and walked up to him and stabbed him with a katana. "How did you get through my power unaffected?" The youkai said as he died and evaporated. "Yeah how did you?" Gojyo asked. In fact she didn't, when she turned around they all noticed the difference. She had grown small fangs and had a lovely blue tattoo on the left half of her face, and her hair had changed to a light blue instead of the normal dark purple and so had her eyes, instead of the lovely amber they had been they were ice blue. "Mit-chan what are you?" Goku asked, and she just leaped out the window. "Good job, Baka." Sanzo said as the group ran downstairs.

--OUTSIDE--

"Why does this always happen to me?" Mitsuru questioned as she looked at her self as she slowly returned to normal. She sat there and thought about the first time it happened.

-16 years ago-

It was a nice bright day out in the country side where she lived with other people from her destroyed village. She never really thought about why her village was destroyed, the remaining adults all told the kids that the youkai that attacked were just mean and vile creatures. So one day while playing with a group of kids her age a youkai attacked. It killed two kids before it got to her and when it did she glowed a bright blue that repelled the youkai and changed her. The remaining kids ran back and told the adults she was a youkai too. They overlooked the fact she saved the remaining kids and treated her horribly. Well one was nice enough to put her for sale to a relatively nice merchant, at least they will treat her better than these people had. From then on I never trusted anyone with my secret not even my master who bought me from the merchant. Not even now with these people do I.

"I cant afford to trust anyone, and have the same thing happen again," she said to herself. "Well how do you know that?" Gojyo asked. "GHA!" she shouted as she almost fell out of the tree until he caught her. "Well after what happened when I was little I don't trust people easily." She proceeded to tell him what happened. "well it's a little better then mine, my brother had to kill my mother so she wouldn't beat me" He said. "Wow I guess we both had a bad childhood" she said, "yeah but don't let it cost you a chance to have friends and be happy" he said to her, she smiled then nodded, "I mean look at me I'm a half demon but I don't let that stop me" he said, "yeah I guess you're right." She agreed with him " well lets get back to the room and see if the others are there.

Well they had arrived back at the room and they found one extra person there. Mow the man was really old but all five of them could feel the spiritual power coming off of him. "Hey who's this?" they both asked. "I am the village shaman" The old man said. "These young men came to me for help, they wondered if I could help you figure out what you are." "Really?" She asked half-excited and half scared. "yeah I just need to see this state that you enter in" " well it's not something I can control but it happens when I'm in danger, life threatening, or when it's a full moon out or I go in really pure water." "Well from that I can tell it reacts to purity in nature and it saves your life so I can tell it's a good part of you." "okay well how do we get me to change" "I have some pure water back at my temple, we could go there." "Sure it's worth a try."

A/N: Well I decided to take this story in many different directions from when I first started. So if there is anything you would like to see let me know and I'll see what I can do.
