Kagome's POV
I felt myself wake up. I let out a groan as I reached up, grasping my head. Something fuzzy caught my attention and my eyes snapped open. My other hand reached to the other side of my head and a panicked wail escaped my throat. Quickly getting up, I headed into my bathroom and looked in the mirror. A gasp escaped my throat and my eyes scanned my form. Two black fluffy ears protruded from my head in place of my ears. Two black stripes went horizontally on each cheek, along with another stripe on my chin going vertically only reaching just under my bottom lip. A blood-red four pointed star with the top and bottom point being longer on my forehead. My hands lowered to my face and I traced one of the marks with my finger, only to notice my sharp claws.
"Wh-what? It actually worked?!" I looked down at myself to see a fluffy white tail swishing behind me. I opened my mouth to look over my teeth to see my canines had grown and search tooth had become sharper. Curiously, I touched one of my canines with a very slight tap, only to have it prick my finger so easily. Blood dripped from the wound and I licked it, wondering if my saliva would heal just as well as yokai saliva does. The small puncture disappeared and I wiped the saliva off.
"How do I turn back?" Going back into my room, I lifted up the book and looked over the words once more. I read over the words, mumbling them quietly.
Huic daemon autem nunc videat,
Sic populus sit relinques Veios,
Et inaurabis eam,
iam iustus est occultare Videam trans
A light emitted from my body and I blinked in confusion until it disappeared. Quickly feeling around, I noticed the ears and tail were gone, along with the sharp teeth and the claws. Looking into my reflection confirmed I was back to normal. A smile spread across my lips before disappearing.
"Inuyasha..." I muttered softly, resting on my bed. "I wish you were here... You could have been able to help me with this." My chest clenched painfully and I curled up on my bed, tears flowing from my eyes. "I'm sorry I let that happen to you. But it was your fault!" Rage filled me from my toes up to my head. "You shouldn't have chased her! I tried to protect you!" I let out a loud sob as I buried my head into my pillow.
"But it's my fault, I let you go."
The next morning
Third person's POV
Within the Penguin's H.Q, Kagome discussed her discovery with the penguins. The book was set down on their table and flipped to the page where she learnt the chants.
"I finally know how to show my demonic side!" Kagome smiled brightly. "Isn't this fantastic? You could read over this and study information on demons, Kowalski!"
"Yes, that would be fantastic if I knew how to read." Kowalski nodded. Kagome glanced at him.
"I can read it to you if you want."
"That would be fantastic, but at the moment, I'm currently working on a machine that'll possibly be able to send us back in time! After my... failed attempt last year, I have decided to try again." Kowalski crossed his flippers. "If you don't mind, I'm going to go work on it. I'm almost finished."
"That's all right. I was going to head off anyways. I'll just leave the book here in your care. Bye." Kagome's waved at the penguins before exiting the penguin's habitat. Kowalski hurried off into his lab and continued with his work as Private flicked through the pages of the book, looking at the pictures. He came to legends and admired the detail until he spotted a picture of a long-haired boy with silver hair, golden eyes and dog ears on top of his head. Next to him was a female with long raven hair and blue eyes holding a bow. She had a quiver of arrows strapped to her back and a brave, determined look in her eye. Above them was the head and shoulders of a woman that looked like the younger female only with midnight black hair and brown eyes.
"Hey, Rico," The young British penguin beckoned over the crazy one and pointed at the raven-haired girl. "Don't you think she looks like Kagome?" Rico looked at the picture.
"Uh huh." He nodded quickly. Skipper walked over and had a look at the picture.
"My word, Private. You're right. It does look like her." The flat-headed penguin hummed, setting down his fish coffee. "We should ask her about this."
Suddenly, a clatter came from Kowalski's lab, followed with an explosion.
"K'walski, you okay in there?!" Private called. A cheer came from said penguin's lab as he stepped out.
"I finished it! It's ready! Let's try it out!" Kowalski clapped happily as Private, Skipper and Rico followed him into the lab. The smart penguin began to set up the machine quickly as he smiled brightly. "I assure you all that it won't hurt at all."
Suddenly, the door blasted away and a certain evil mammal rolled in on his segway, his choppy laugh entering the earholes of the penguins.
"Dr Blowhole! What are you doing here?!" Skipper exclaimed, grumbling. Silently, he thanked the heavens Kagome was gone before he arrived.
"I'm just here for a little something I like to call revenge!" Dr Blowhole grinned darkly. Kowalski quickly looked behind him and gulped.
"Uh oh." He muttered as his supposed time-travelling machine began to glow. The others backed away slowly.
"It think it's going to explode!" Private exclaimed.
"Kaboom?" Rico said excitedly.
Just then, the rattling, glowing machine exploded. The animals all cried in pain before passing out due to the agony.
Meanwhile, Kagome walked out of the Zoo, humming softly. Suddenly, pain spread through her body and she collapsed to the ground, a groan of agony escaping her throat. Suddenly, the pain disappeared as quickly as it came. Panting, Kagome slowly got up, worry etched on her face as her left hand unconsciously reached up to press against her hip.
