Chapter 19: Changes

 

Kagome was exceedingly tired the next morning, but still managed to make it downstairs. Once there, she found everyone hiding laughs from her. Today her illusion was down, so her youkai traits shown clearly. Shippo discreetly sniffed her before smiling, then he hugged her. "Morning mommy." He walked over to Hiei and hugged him "morning daddy" then he walked over to Kurama and hugged him "morning papa." And he sat down.

 

Mukuro smirked at her as she tinted somewhat red. Sango avoided her gaze, her own face red, and Miroku gave her a lecherous smirk. Souta, however, came over to talk to her. "So I have two brother in-laws now?" He asked with a huge grin.

 

"Nope, there's more than that. I just forgot to tell you." Kagome said sarcastically as she started eating her food.

 

Miroku choked on his food at hearing that. "Why Lady Kagome, I never knew you liked to have many men in your bed."

 

Kagome glared at him from across the table. "Keep talking and I'll personally see you castrated so that you never can have your own children."

 

The monk gulped as he paled and started eating his own food. Kurama chuckled and Hiei smirked at them. Mukuro merely shook her head as the servant from the other day entered the room. His eyes landed on Kagome as he walked toward Mukuro. "Lord Yomi is here my Lady."

 

Kagome groaned and ducked her head hoping the goat wouldn't see her. The servant looked at her curiously before going to fetch the demon lord. When said demon entered, all of the former shard hunters groaned and Kagome mumbled something that sounded like "yay, the damn perverted goat."

 

"Lady Mukuro." Yomi said as he turned to where he heard her.

 

"Yomi, why are you here?"

 

"I wished to know if you knew where I could find Youko."

 

"I am right here Yomi." Kurama stated from the table.

 

The goat demon turned to him. "What are you doing here?"

 

"Visiting an old friend of my mate."

 

"You're mated?" Yomi asked sounding amazed.

 

"Hai, and I think you may know her." He said as he smirked at his mate who was currently glaring at him. Hiei seemed amused about what Kurama was doing.

 

"And who is this girl?"

 

"Hello Yomi." Kagome said as she walked toward him. "When did you become blind?"

 

Shock was evident on the goat demon's face as he heard her voice. "Lady Kagome?" He questioned. "A few years ago."

 

Kurama winced at the mention of Yomi being blind and Kagome guessed he felt responsible for it. Raising her hands and touching his eyes as everyone looked stunned she did it, she called forth her power and healed him. A flash of light lit the room as everyone averted their eyes. When they turned back, Yomi was looking at Kagome. "See, it is me." She smiled at the goat.

 

Yomi smiled at her, and it turned into a smirk. "I thought you were courting Lord Sesshomaru?"

 

"I know you did, but I had to beg him to help me. You see, I had no other way to detour your advances."

 

"Well I must admit, it was a brilliant idea." He said as he cupped her cheek with one of his hands. Hearing two growls, he turned to look at Kurama and Hiei. "I thought you said she was your mate Youko?"

 

Kagome smiled and moved next to the growling men. "Both are my mates."

 

Yomi smirked at her. "And here I thought you were a good little girl."

 

Kagome smirked back. "Sometimes us good girls go bad."

 

"I noticed." He said as he looked between the two, before turning his attention onto Kurama. "I would like your help Youko."

 

"With what?" The fox questioned.

 

"A demon problem on my lands. And I was wondering if you'd become my heir."

 

Mukuro and everyone else started laughing as Kagome simply growled. "So I'm supposed to be Lady of the West, South, East, and cousin to the Lord of the North?" She whined.

 

Yomi just stared at her. "You're related to Raizen? And how would you be Lady of the West?"

 

"Sesshomaru made me heiress, as I am like a little sister to him. And Raizen is my uncle, his son Yusuke is my cousin."

 

"Then it seems you would be."

 

Kagome glared at him. "I hate you, you know that."

 

"You wound me priestess." Yomi said in mock hurt. "You know I care deeply for you." He was now pouting.

 

"You look like a hyperventilating fish when you pout... an ugly one." Kagome growled at him as everyone else laughed. "You're almost as bad as that damn wolf... then again he at least understood the word no.... somewhat did at least."

 

"You never did tell me how you met him." Yomi stated.

 

"It doesn't matter."

 

"Sure it does, I wanna know how he met his woman." Kurama and Hiei both looked at the goat demon lord as Kagome glared at him.

 

"Ask Ayame... she's his woman." Kagome replied in an icy voice.

 

Yomi looked at her in mock sadness. "Awe, did he dump you?"

 

"Nope! I told him to keep his promise to her, and he did.... I also kinda told him I was engaged to mate, but he doesn't need to know that that was a lie."

 

"You're cruel, you know that."

 

"Really, I was always told that I seem innocent."

 

"You used to, at least until you were angered."

 

Kagome smirked at that. "You're referring to the time I sat Inuyasha for calling me his shard detector, aren't you?"

 

"Well, that was a deep crater."

 

"He should of chose his words more carefully."

 

Shippo now spoke up. "I prefer the time you sat him when we got back from Youko's den."

 

An evil smirk appeared on Kurama's face as he looked at the kit. "That was funny."

 

Kagome nodded her head in agreement. "Yes it was." Looking around the table, she found that the others were almost done eating. "I think we need to be heading home soon."

 

Kurama looked at her. "You're returning to the shrine, even though Kunara knows you live there?"

 

"Hai, Miroku and I will put up a barrier that keeps out those with evil intent, but we'll try to come up with something a little more specific."

The entire group, minus Kurama, arrived at the shrine about an hour later. Miroku and Kagome got to work on their protective barrier almost immediately, and the boys started training with Hiei. Sango helped train Souta and Kohaku, but allowed Hiei to teach them to use a sword since he was better than she was with one. Kurama got there later that night and looked both exhausted and annoyed. Of course it could have something to do with the fact that he'd have to go home to his mother and not spend the night with Kagome.

 

Kagome seemed to be rather tired as well. Her power was rather drained from the complexity of the spell that needed to be cast. Miroku had actually passed out after completing the incantation. It was around midnight when Kurama went home to his mother's. Hiei led Kagome downstairs after that, and drew a nice warm bath for the both of them. Once they were done relaxing in the warm water, the pale miko looked slightly better. So they both laid down and curled together in bed for the night.

Darkness surrounded her as power pulsed all around her. Words were spoken in an ancient language as silvery figures began to appear. Power pulsed all around her, nearly suffocating her with it's immensity. "Wh-what is this?"

 

"This is the celestial realm." Answered several voices in unison.

 

"Why am I here?"

 

"Because we brought you here." Answered one of the voices.

 

"Why did you bring me here?"

 

"You are a special young woman. You befriend anyone, regardless of species or station. A rare gem indeed. The shattered shards are always with you. You simply need to call them back. Do so now."

 

"How?"

 

"Look deep inside yourself and summon the shikon."

 

Kagome took a deep breath and closed her eyes. Concentrating on her power, she pulled on something. It felt almost as if it was an extension of herself. And so she pulled on it again. Soon, she could feel a sharp pain coursing through her. It wracked her entire body and she felt even her soul begin to convulse. Tremors of power tore through her form as her eyes rolled back into her head in pain. She had felt like she'd passed out, but the pain was still there.

 

Finally the pain eased away and she could breathe again. Her breath came in gasps and pants as her vision slowly cleared. It wasn't long before she could shakily stand back up and looked to the shadowy outlines of silver. "Wh-what h-happened?"

 

"The jewel has returned to your flesh child. Bonding with your soul for all eternity." Said a soft feminine voice.

 

Out of the shadows stepped the image of a priestess. Dark purple swirled around her as she held her head high. Kagome instantly dropped to her knees in a low bow. "Midoriko-sama!"

 

"Rise my child. You need not bow to me." And the great miko helped her to her feet. "I have an offer for you child, and I need you to tell me the truth on how you feel about it." When the younger woman gave a nod, the older miko continued. "I wish for you to take my soul into your body." Widening eyes were what showed the younger' shock. "I am old, and I do not wish for reincarnation. You are not whole. This will make you such. You may change slightly, but not much, I assure you. Before you ask, this is simple. We bind our souls together into one."

 

Kagome slowly thought over her offer. Midoriko also stated that she'd gain her miko powers. Purification and healing powers. "Yes. I'll do it."

 

The older miko gave a happy smile as she allowed her power to flow around and encase her. Her energy cocoon felt warm to the touch as he spread out and enveloped Kagome. The purple aura pulsed darker before changing and turning a stunning silver. The same color silver that kagome's eyes would turn when her powers came to life. Slowly the ancient miko's form faded, evaporating into thin air.

 

Blue eyes closed as she started to feel her body once again change. Her tail disappeared as she returned to her human state. No longer would she have animal attributes. Black hair gained red streaks as it appeared flame danced through her raven locks. Energy crackled around her form as she started to feel whole once again. No longer was there a gaping hole where a piece of her soul was missing. No. She had Midoriko's soul. Now her soul. She was complete.
