A/N: Enjoy guys. Read and review.


Kagome woke up and...felt different. Good different, not bad. She sat up and immediately stood up. She turned around and gasped when she saw that she had a long, flowing tail. She ran to the full length mirror in her room and gasped. Her ears had become pointed like her fathers, her eyes had changed in color from their blue-grey to sapphire with specks of dark green. Her nails were now deadly, poisonous claws and her hair had changed color. It was the same color as her tail. Pristine white with dark green at the end.

"Shippo! Shippo wake up!"

Kagome yelled as she raced back to her bed.

"Mmm, what is it Kaa-san?"

Shippo asked sleepily as he rubbed his eyes.

"Look Shippo!"

Kagome said and Shippo opened his eyes to look up at his mother. His emerald eyes widened when he saw his mother had changed more than before. Her black hair had changed and now it was pristine white with dark green streaks through it. She had a tail that was the same as her hair, and her eyes had changed from blue-grey to a beautiful sapphire with specks of dark green.

"Kaa-san, you look so beautiful."

Shippo said and Kagome smiled.

"You changed too. Look."

Kagome said pointing to Shippo's reflection in the mirror. She was right, he had changed. His short cut auburn hair was still the same, but was now down to his shoulders with dark green tips at the end, and it looked as if his bangs had been dipped in a pool of green paint. The marks from the previous night stood out even more, and his emerald eyes seemed to shine even more. He ran his tongue over his teeth to find that his fangs were more pronounced. And he could feel the power of the Eastern bloodline running through his veins.

"Kaa-san, is this...is this really us?"

Shippo asked unsure, and slightly afraid that he'd wake up to find this was all just a dream.

"Yes baby, it's really us."

Kagome said gathering Shippo in her arms and hugging him tightly.

Suddenly there was a knock at the door and a servant entered the room.

"Excuse me Lady Kagome, Lord Shippo, but M'Lord and Lady ask for your presence in the dining room."

The young panther demon said before bowing.

"We'll be right there."

Kagome said and the demon bowed again before leaving.

"Come on baby, we should get dressed. Today is the day of the ball after all."

Kagome said before standing up and going to her closet and picking out a nice dark green kimono with the symbol of the Eastern lands on the back. She picked out a nice evening outfit for Shippo from the clothes she'd brought back from the future.

"Here, once you get dressed we should go."

Kagome said and Shippo nodded before quickly getting dressed. Then they both headed out of the room and for the dining area.


Sesshomaru stared at the invitation in his hand in shock. The Eastern Lord and Lady were holding a ball in honor of the return of their long lost daughter. As much as Sesshomaru would have liked to ignore the invitation it was required that all Lords were to be present. Sighing to himself he called for a servant.

"Yes M'Lord?"

"Tell Jaken to look after the palace in this Sesshomaru's stead. I will notify him of my return."

Sesshomaru said and the servant bowed before leaving to fulfill his new duty. Sesshomaru got up and left his study. He walked past the stables and heard Ah-Un whining. The dragon had been devastated to learn that Rin was missing. Sesshomaru growled at his own incapability to keep a closer eye on his ward before taking to the skies and travelling towards the East. He'd arrive by nightfall, just in time for the ball to actually start.


A/N: Very short and I apologize for that, but this was mainly to see if I could get back into the story. And I think I might be able to. Please, read and review.
