Chapter Nineteen : Naraku's Transformation

Meanwhile, back at school, Kagome was waiting patiently for her little brother Soata to get out of school... They were supposed to they're mom at the the fair tonight to see fireworks and ride the rides... It's had been so long since they'd all done something fun as a family... Kagome couldn't wait... Mom had given her a good bit of money yesterday so that she and Soata could eat something if they wanted to while they waited...

"Where is he?!" Kagome growled irritatedly, "We gotta go meet mom!"

"Don't worry Kagome, " Yuka said smiling, " Soata's school is quite a ways away... Let him have some fun with his friends..."

"Yeah... I guess your right... " Kagome said smiling, "Are you guys going to the fair?!"

"You bet!" Yuka said excitedly.

"Absolutely!" Eri said smiling...

"Want some company til you meet up with your mom Kagome?" Yumi asked smiling.

"Sure! I'd never turn down hanging out with my best friends!" Kagome said smiling.

"So... Kagome, as a friend, can we ask you something?" Yuka asked grinning.

Kagome nodded.

"So... Kagome... Tell us about... You and Koga... " Yuka asked.

Yumi and Eri got in closer as Kagome gulped nervously.

"Um... Well he's a friend?!" Kagome said nervously, " A good friend?!"

"Well... He certainly liked you as more then a friend! He would have torn Jorn to shreds just so you'd never have to see that monster again! I can't believe you forgave him so easily!" Eri said angrily, "It was awful what he did to you! Does... Are you still in pain much?"

"Yeah... " Kagome said sadly, "It still hurts to walk... I haven't forgiven him yet you know... I've tried to... Does that make me a bad person?"

"Of course not Kagome!" Yuka said sadly.

Yuka, Eri, and Yumi all embraced Kagome and held her as she tried to hold back her tears... After Kagome felt a little bit better, she told them about Koga kissing her while in his semi full demon state and turned deep crimson as she told them she didn't realize that he was naked until after he'd kissed her...

"What did he say when you told him to get dressed?!" Eri said anxiously, all ears...

"Well... In that state, he couldn't speak because his beast had taken over... But I know he could understand me because he laughed me before his clothes appeared on him... " Kagome said.

"You mean he laughed before he got his clothes on. " Yuka corrected.

"No... He never dressed himself in front of me... His clothes and armor just... Suddenly appeared.. " Kagome said blushing.

Before her friends could ask any more questions, the sky suddenly became dark and foreboding... Suddenly, a blinding dark blackish purple light appeared and began shaping itself into the form of a body! Kagome watched in horror as she realized that had to be a demon...

'Great! And right when I have no bow and arrows!' Kagome thought frantically...

"Hmm... " the woman said on a bored haughty voice, "Nothing but little girls... The person I seek is not here... "

The woman had long dark blood red hair with pink highlights, black on her eye lids, black lips, dark pink eyes and jagged black scroll like markings on her face, arms and legs... Her outfit was out of this world! It was a deep pink, almost black it was so dark... Each side slit all the way up to her thighs... She was barefoot, and her top of her kimono was slit and open all the way down to her obi...

'And everyone in the feudal era thinks my outfit is too revealing?!' Kagome thought disgusted.

"Who are you and what do you want?!" Kagome yelled in a demanding tone...

"Who I am... " the woman answered in a haughty voice, "Is none of your concern... As for what I want?! What I want is revenge... Unfortunately, none of you are who I'm after... Farewell... "

The woman then suddenly vanished as quickly as she'd appeared...

"What was that all about?!" Soata exclaimed running to Kagome.

" Beats me... What took ya so long any way Soata?!" Kagome asked irritatedly.

"One of the vendors gave me a free cotton candy... " Soata said sheepishly...

"Soata! You little brat! We were supposed to go together!" Kagome said grabbing Soata ND rubbing his head roughly...

"OK OK!" Soata exclaimed, "I'm sorry sis! So who was that lady sis? She was pretty... I like her... "

"She might have been pretty... " Kagome said worriedly, "But she's dangerous... "

Letting the matter drop, Soata, Yuka, Eri, Yumi and Kagome all walked through the crowded streets full of vendors and looked at all the food... As they stopped at the fried foods concession stand and ordered some chili cheese fries, Kagome couldn't help but worry about that female demon and who she was seeking revenge on... She had a bad feeling that they had not seen the last of her...

On the other side of the fair, Naraku and Hiyuke walked together as people who passed by stopped to stare at the odd couple... They looked like a royal couple that stepped right out of a fairy tale...

"Your awfully quiet Hiyuke? Do you like the kimono?" Naraku asked worriedly.

"Yes!" Hiyuke said hugging him, " It's a beautiful gift! How on earth were you able to do that though?! Make it appear out of now where!" Hiyuke said spinning around with a smile, "It was just like... Just like... "

"Magic... " Naraku said smiling... "There are certainly some perks that come with being a demon... Including this... "

Naraku suddenly pulled a rose out of thin are and gave it to her, it was a beautiful light blue...

"Where did you find a rose in such a beautiful color?!" Hiyuke gasped...

"It grows deep in the crystal caverns that surround my castle... They are called crystal roses, because a few minutes after they're picked, they crystallize... It's my favorite part of my castle... " Naraku said smiling, "Watch... "

Hiyuke gasped the delicate rose in her hand as it suddenly crystallized in her hand!

"Oh... Naraku... It's beautiful! " Hiyuke cried throwing her arms around Naraku and kissing him on the cheek...

Naraku held in in his arms... Reveling in the love and warmth that radiated from her... Unaware that Kagome and her friends had been watching the whole time...

"Wow! Yuka exclaimed, "That's some kind of wicked cool magic!"

"Oh wow, look at your mom's kimono Kagome! She looks like a princess!" Eri exclaimed.

"Oh... How romantic! " Yumi said with stars in her eyes...

Kagome looked to where they were pointing and gasped in horror...

'Naraku! Oh no!' Kagome thought frantically.

"Yuka! Eri! Yumi! Take Soata and get him away from here!" Kagome commanded.

"What's wrong Kagome?!" Yuka asked worriedly.

"Never mind! Get out of here now!" Kagome commanded.

Before her friends or Soata could argue, kagome shot down the street after them...

"Naraku! Let her go!" Kagome demanded angrily...

Naraku stopped and turned around to face the angry priestess... Naraku gasped and looked around frantically searching for Kikyo... For his vision was unfolding now...

"Where is she?!" Naraku said angrily all of a sudden...

"What?!" Kagome asked... "Where's who?!"

"Where is Kikyo?! I had a vision of her being here as well... " Naraku said worriedly...

'What's his deal?! And why is he hugging mom like that for?! This is way too weird!' Kagome thought to herself frantically...

Once her friends had Soata safely away from the area, Kagome glared angrily at Naraku...

"Get away from her Naraku!" Kagome said angrily...

"Kagome!" Hiyuke scolded. "Remember your manners! Naraku has been nothing but kind to me! You will show him the proper respect!"

"But you don't know about all the terrible things he's done!" Kagome argued.

"Enough Kagome! Whatever Naraku has done is in the past... Whatever happened is over now, so you need to drop it... We've had a lovely time, Kagome... He's been so sweet and so kind... " Hiyuke said blushing...

"What's your deal any way Naraku?!" Kagome demanded, stomping with her hands on her hips... "You never spend time with humans unless it's to make them into your puppets!"

Naraku looked from kagome to Hiyuke and could do nothing to stop the huge smile from spreading across his face...

'He's... Smiling! And it's a regular smile!' Kagome thought amazed, 'What is up with him?!'

"I've never seen you smile like that before!" Kagome gasped.

"I apologize for startling you... But the resemblance is striking... " Naraku said a twinkle of amusement in his eyes...

"Resemblance to who?! Kikyo?! " Kagome asked angrily, "I am sick and tired of always being compared to her!" Kagome yelled angrily.

"No... Not Kikyo... Hiyuke... " Naraku said smiling, "The two of you look to be close to the same age... Hiyuke is in her twentys or thirty perhaps?" Naraku asked...

Before Kagome or Hiyuke could answer a haughty sinister feminine laugh sounded nearby... The sound striking annoyance into Naraku's very core...

"Karisa... " said quite annoyed, "What do you want? I refuse to fight you and let you gain your powers back... "

"Oh... I didn't come to duel with you for my powers back... " Karisa said in a bored tone, "I'm here for my revenge... "

Naraku gasped Hiyuke's hand and pulled her close...

"Hiyuke... My fate is sealed... This demon wishes me dead... I'll give her what she wants... I'm sorry... I won't get to be with you long enough to spend more time with you.. " Naraku said sadly...

Kagome couldn't believe her eyes! The most evil despicable demon she'd ever met was holding her mother in his embrace!

"Go on now... Just meeting you and knowing that you are safe is enough to made me happy... I can die in peace knowing that your alive and healthy... " Naraku said... " May I kiss you goodbye?"

"You don't have to die... " Hiyuke said on the verge of tears... " Surely there's another way!"

" Hmmm... " Karisa mused, " Yes perhaps there is another way... OK... You've convinced me... "

"Thank you... " Hiyuke said, "Now we can spend time together... "

Naraku bent his head to capture Hiyuke's lips in a kiss when she suddenly gasped out in pain... Naraku looked at Karisa in horror... She had her bow in her hand and three arrows were missing from her quiver... Kagome was frozen in despair, why had that demon done such a thing?! She was here to kill Naraku... Wasn't she?! In slow motion, Hiyuke fell and Naraku caught her against him and cradled her in his arms... Naraku began to growl as Hiyuke gently, weakly lifted her hand to his face...

"It... It's better this way... I have lived my life... Today, you've given me something I never thought I'd have again... " Hiyuke said coughing up blood, "You gave me... A date remember... And I'm so thankful I met you... I'm so glad... You don't have to die now... "

"Why?! Why would you be happy she shot you instead of me?!" Naraku said full of hurt and anger...

"Because... Despite what kind of man you were in the past... I know... " Hiyuke said coughing up more blood, "There's good in you... "

Naraku watched in horror as the light faded from Hiyuke's eyes a kind sad smile on her face... Just like in his vision... Naraku's whole body began to shake with unspeakable rage as Karisa laughed in triumph...

"Stupid fool... " Karisa spat hatefully, " Humans are so pathetic and weak... Oh well, enjoy your long life Naraku... "

But as Karisa turned to leave a blinding blackish red light flashed and engulfed Naraku's body as he howled in rage... Black clouds suddenly filled the sky, blocking out the sun and it's rays of shining light... Lightning crashed and struck the ground all around Naraku as his eyes glowed a burning, soul scorching blood red... His kimono splintered into shreds and the burn scar on his back instantly healed itself... Leaving not a trace behind... Kagome watched in horror as Naraku transformed into a complete full blooded demon before her very eyes... He roared once more as red and black armor formed on his body, several swords at a holster on his hip... His mourning cries rang throughout Tokyo... The likes of which no one had ever heard before... As his howls increased in volume, so to did the danger and ferocity of his demon storm increased as well... What was a street full of people and festivities soon began to look like ground zero! Giant craters were all around Naraku as his demon lightning continued to strike the earth... Suddenly as the lightning began to flash and strike faster, twisters suddenly appeared in the sky, twisting and ripping up trees by the roots! By now, all the people in town had gotten in doors, leaving only Kagome and Hiyuke out in the demon storm... The air crackled and lit up with Naraku's powerful aura as he stood there transformed... No longer was he a half demon, for clad in dark blood red and black armor stood Naraku, a full fledged demon...
