Chapter 20: Shock and Surprise

 

Eyes slowly opened and she found herself to once again be in her room. Hiei's arms were around her and she smiled at the sight. Slowing untangling herself from blankets and his hold, she managed to make it to the bathroom. Surprise filled her at her new look. Long raven locks that fell down to her knees, pale porcelain skin, blood red lips, and dark midnight blue markings. They crisscrossed over her entire form. In her raven locks, she noticed the coloring was off. Crimson red streaked through her hair like living flame, ice blue shined in certain lights, and a pure whitish silver hung before her eyes, taking the form of her bangs... though they were no longer bangs. Her hair was entirely one length. All of it falling down to her knees.

 

Looking at her mouth, she noticed she still had sharp pointy fangs. Her hands held delicate looking pink claws, beautiful, but deadly. Taking another look at her reflection, she noticed her eyes. They were a pure silver. Noticing another marking, she found Midoriko's purple sakura petals on her brow, only these were tipped in blue and a tinge of silver.

 

Twirling around, she noticed no other markings or changes and sighed. At least she did until a sharp pain rose through her chest. Looking down, she noticed another marking taking form, this one a marking of a delicate Crimson Rose. Its petals made it appear as if it were about to bloom. Wind swirled around her then, whispering words to her in a voice she knew quite well. "I'm always with you, and I'm so proud of you my child."

 

The woman's silver eyes now widened as the voice sank in. "Father...?"

 

A deep chuckling sounded before a man took form before her eyes, using the wind to assimilate himself. "Who else promised to protect you forever?"

 

"Daddy!" she called out as she wrapped her arms around his semi-solid form.

 

"My little girl; how I have missed being able to hold you in my arms."

 

"I've missed you too!" She said as she buried her face in his chest. "But how is this possible?"

 

"I was once a priest, my child. I once had powers like yours. That gives me the power to appear before you as I have now."

 

"Then why now? Why not before?"

 

"I've come to warn you. Your enemy is growing. Kunara is steadily reviving those who once opposed your friends, Karasu, Toguro, Sensui and his seven, and anyone else of power who might oppose you."

 

"Can we stop him?"

 

"It is too late. Gather your allies and wait for him. His armies will march soon, so I would wait within the Makai for him."

 

"What about the band of seven, have they been resurrected too?"

 

"Not yet, the thunder brothers will be soon though."

 

"Right," the girl said as a plan started to form. "Who's next?"

 

"Raizen," the man said calmly. "He's the ancestor of your cousin, your cousin should actually know him. So ask him about the Mazoku."

 

"I will. And I'll stop Kunara. I think I have a plan."

 

"Good my daughter. I must now go."

 

"I'll miss you, daddy." The miko said as she clung more tightly to the man.

 

"And I you, my child," he said as his form began to fade. "Remember, I am always with you." And he disappeared. Only his voice lingered for a moment. "I love you."

 

Tears filled the miko's eyes as she dropped to her knees and wrapped her arms around her stomach. She could feel the new life inside and her eyes slowly closed. So many things were happening, and they were all happening quickly. "Kagome?" a deep voice questioned from the doorway.

 

Silver eyes turned and took in the form of a shocked fire demon. Giving him a small smile, she slowly stood. "Yes Hiei, it is me." Moving to him, she wrapped her arms around him. "I need some help."

The entire gang was gathered around the living room, and Kagome had yet to come upstairs. Souta, Shippo, and Kohaku were downstairs with her as well. After a few minutes, Kohaku popped up through the door. He moved over to Sango and whispered something to her and Miroku before returning to the basement.

 

Kurama and Yusuke both leaned over to Hiei and the kitsune spoke first. "What are they whispering about?"

 

"He's probably telling them about Kagome."

 

"What about her?" Yusuke asked as his eyes narrowed.

 

"She's... changed."

 

"How so?" the kitsune asked.

 

Before Hiei could answer, the three boys all came into the room, followed by Kagome. Everyone looked at her with shocked and widened eyes. Dark, almost black stripes ran the whole of her body. Her hair now fell to her knees. So many changes, she looked completely different. "What happened to you?" Keiko asked with a gasp as one of her hands came up to cover her mouth.

 

The miko smiled slightly and raised her eyes. The action received more gasps as stunning silver looked out from her face. "I have become one; whole."

 

"Kagome-sama... You look like one of the Goddesses." Miroku said as he looked her over.

 

She blushed slightly at his comment, but merely nodded. "We have things we need to do."

 

"Like what?" Yusuke asked curiously.

 

"We need the ashes of the Thunder Brothers and the Shichinintai."

 

"What! Why?!" Sango demanded as she jumped up.

 

"We need them before Kunara gets them! He's already revived countless others!"

 

"Who?" Miroku asked grimly.

 

Closing her eyes, she mentally pulled forth the names and gasped slightly. "Sensui's seven, Karasu, my grandfather, and he has Raizen's remains."

 

"WHAT?!" Yusuke exclaimed. "Oh this is just fucking great!"

 

"I have a question Kagome-sama." Kagome turned toward the currently pale monk and motioned for him to continue. "Why do we need the remains?"

 

The miko looked down at the floor at that. "Two can play Kunara's game. I plan to resurrect them."

 

"You'll stoop as low as this Kunara person?" Kuwabara asked her in disgust.

 

"No! I won't be controlling them as he would!" She said with a glare at the man. "Sango, Miroku, I also need your help."

 

"What with Kagome?" Sango asked immediately.

 

"I need you to take Kirara into Makai and gather our allies. Every single one that's still alive, which means Kouga, Ayame, Jinenji, Shiori, Souten, everyone. Tell them to head for the Western Palace, and warn Sesshoumaru before you do." After a moment of thought, she added "and let him know we'll be there too."

 

"Why are you going to be there?" Yusuke asked curiously.

 

"Kunara's after me, he either attacks me in Makai, or here in Ningenkai So, I choose to meet him in Makai."

 

"We'll be sure to give him the message, Kagome-sama." The monk replied as he gave a slight bow.

 

A sigh escaped from the detective as he seemingly glared at her somewhat, "if you know where the ashes are, Kuwabara and I can go collect them."

 

"Alright, let me think." After a moment, she remembered and told them where exactly in Makai the ashes could be found. "Botan, could you see what Koenma knows about any missing souls? Might let us know who all we're up against."

 

"I can do that." The ferry girl agreed with a nod.

 

"Hiei?" she questioned as she turned to the fire demon.

 

"Hn," he replied.

 

Sighing, she straightened slightly. "Can you go around Makai and find out how many demons he's recruited?"

 

"And what do you plan on doing?"

 

"I'm going to visit my grandmother and ask for some advice. She's a psychic... a powerful one."

 

"What am I supposed to do?" Keiko asked as she looked at her friend.

 

Kagome thought for a moment before nodding to herself. "Gather anyone of the people close to everyone that knows about demons, and then tell me who doesn't know about demons. Anyone who knows will come with us, those who don't will be given protection charms."

 

"Right," Keiko said as she thought for a moment. "Then I collect Shuichi and Atsuko. They're the only ones that know."

 

"My brother knows?" Kurama asked as he turned toward her.

 

"Hai," Keiko answered sheepishly.

 

"That doesn't matter right now, we need to hurry." Kagome said as she closed her silver eyes and rested her head against the wall.

 

"And what am I supposed to do?" Kurama asked as he looked at her.

 

The miko smiled at him. "You'll accompany the children and I to my grandmother's. We'll meet there when we're done with our set tasks."

 

"Where's your grandmother's?" Kuwabara asked.

 

"Just go to Genkai's." Keiko stated. "That's her grandmother."

 

That announcement was met with shock, and Yusuke seemed rather nervous. "Kagome... Who's your grandfather?"

 

"Umm...." Looking down, she mumbled something that not even the demons could hear. Kurama politely asked her to repeat herself and she winced, but spoke up and very clearly. "Oto Toguro," she whispered, "my father hated his last name and used my mother's maiden name after he met her."

 

"Younger Toguro?" Kuwabara asked as he fell back into the couch (he had been standing).

"How powerful is he?"

 

"Well Kagome, he is an S-Class human turned demon." An old pink haired woman said as she sighed.

 

"Can you help us Grandma?" The miko asked as she cocked her head to the side.

 

"I'm old, and not as powerful as I use to be."

 

"I can help you with that." Kagome stated as she kept her eyes shut.

 

"And how would you do that?"

 

"Like this." The miko whispered as she opened her eyes and placed a hand on her grandmother's shoulder. Her eyes flared more brilliantly as silver flames encased her hand, and then the old woman. Soon, a young pink haired woman stood before her. "Please help us Genkai-sama?" The miko bowed to the older woman, showing her a great amount of respect.

"Why are you following me?" The brunette girl, Keiko, asked in annoyance.

 

"I already told you, we want to see Kurama about something." A boy with black hair and eyes said. Behind him were two other boys. One had blonde hair and black eyes, the other had (never seen YYH, so I dunno what Mitsunari Yanagisawa looks like).

 

After sighing, the girl gave up, "fine Kaitou, follow me around while I collect a few people, then we'll go to where he is."

 

"That's good." The boy now known as 'Kaitou' stated. "Yana and Kido are coming too."

 

"Whatever." The girl said as she threw her hands into the air.

I hope that you've enjoyed this chapter. I wrote it while trying to think up a farther along plat line. I'm going through some gathered information to find allies and enemies. I'm hoping to have a massive battle in this!
