Later on in Kaede's hut- Kagome's POV

 

After I had calmed down a bit and told Shippo I need some time to take a breather, told him if he could go off to the village to tell Kaede and the others that I had returned and had brought lunch if they hadn't already eaten.

 

He nodded understandingly and headed off with a “see you later momma” towards the village.

 

I smiled, glad knowing Shippo saw me as his mother, he had started calling me that a week before I left to complete my schooling.

 

But that seemed so long ago and I felt I aged at least 10 years. Even though I was only 19 years old, I felt I was older than my years, I understood death, happiness, friendship, and mostly hardship. I could no longer say I understood love, because what I felt for Inuyasha I know came to know was an infatuation.

 

I never loved him in the first place, and no matter how much I could tell my self I wanted to kill him, I knew I couldn't, though I still had a right mind to purify him till he's human! But he's still sort of my friend and he had saved my life countless times, but I didn't feel in debt to him, far from it.

 

I had given him something that had paid off my entire debt, half of my soul, to his undead bitch.

 

Now Kikyou was a different story all together, I know I want to kill her. She not only has half my soul but she also has jewel shards which are mine to collect and hold, not her.

 

I walk around just enjoying the scenery, letting it calm me and when I came across a clearing that was peace in its self.

 

With a circle of trees surrounding it, a waterfall quietly tinkled down a sloping rock with flowers and boulders near the medium sized lake where the waterfall's water pooled. And from what I thought was mist coming from the waterfall was actually steam upon closer inspection, heh, a nice peaceful place AND a hot spring, nice.

 

I smiled and I decided to make this my secret spot to relax, but coming fully in to the area I realized I wasn't alone. I grabbed my bag and made my way over cautiously.

 

There sat on one of the boulders must have been the most beautiful person in the world. With a glowing sun dress or what looked like one from the back was actually a casual kimono, with stripes of orange layering it. Her hair was a flowing red with brown streaks running through curling at the bottom of her back. The kimono it self matched her hair perfectly, with light golden colors with a dark orange sash around her petite waist.

 

But then I saw blood dripping from her sleeves and then noticed the arrow lodged into her shoulder. I quickly ran over to her getting my first aid box out at the same time.

 

When I kneeled down by her side I got the first glimpse of her face. Like and angels it was perfectly angled with plump cheery lips and long lashes with vibrant golden eyes that showed pain at the moment. Though her hair framed her face perfectly the only spot where hair didn't cover her face was her mid forehead, there she had a shooting star in a liquid gold color, and I silently wondered what clan he belonged to.

 

Though she didn't move, seeing as it would pain her to do so, she watched me with warning in her eyes, silently telling if I was to make any threatening moves I would be dead whether it pained her or not.

 

“Do not worry, I am here to help you, you've got a pretty nasty wound right here and I have medicine that will help you.” I told her carefully.

 

“And just why would you help a complete stranger that could kill you in an instant?” she spoke, with a voice like tinkling bells but also laced with a threat.

 

“Because im at the moment without a weapon and I have no ill motives to harm you, and seeing as your hurt I wish to try and heal you, that is what a good person should do, help others in need and try your best is it not?” I replied evenly seeing as she had let her guard down a bit with the end of the explanation.

 

“Ah I see you're a miko, a strong one at that to. May I know your name?” she asked with softening eyes, knowing now I meant no threat to her.

 

“My names Kagome, may I know yours? You look like an angel! Where are you from?” I asked in wonder.

 

“Such a curious one you are! Yes I can trust you indeed! My name is Yakima! I may look like an angel but im actually a wish fulfilling sprite. Though I don't think I can make any wishes with this body all beat out of shape. I was placed with a curse when one of these human here caught me and demanded I fulfill his wishes, placing me in a human who has been in a dormant state since I've taken her body as a host forcefully.

 

“Im so sorry, im glad you got away from him, but I bet you he's looking for you but let me heal your wounds before you bleed to death.” I replied with cheer hoping to lighten the situation some what.

 

“You're very honorable young one, and I thank you” Yakima replied thankfully.

 

I moved over to her shoulder and pushed the sleeve away to look at the damage. I was lodged in pretty deep and it would hurt when I pulled it out but it was necessary to get it out before infection settled in.

 

“This might hurt a bit so im sorry” I replied apologizing for the pain to come.

 

“Do what you must, I just want this blasted arrow out!” she replied bracing her self for the pain.

 

I pulled the arrow out with a clean pull, wrapping the gauze around her shoulder so the blood will clot more easily. Then lifting my hand over her wound I looked deep in side my self and found my well of miko powers and grabbed a strand and weaved it into her shoulder, healing ripped skin and muscle, after about a minute I separated from her shoulder and sat down exhausted from the healing session.

 

I looked up to her to see her moving her arm around in circular motions, testing it and with a grin she looked to me and helped me get up from the ground and helped me onto the boulder next to her. I smiled gratefully and removed my shoes and place my feet into the hot water soothing them.

 

“Thank you little one, you have saved me from my wounds and have healed it without a scar! I am forever grateful to you!” she replied with a bow.

 

I smiled at her, “No don't thank me! I did it because I wanted to! Really I know what It means to be in pain from arrow wounds, trust me, my once thought loves new dead women tried to shoot me countless times.” I replied with a grimace.

 

“Ah I know, and I hope you're not mad at me for doing this but I looked into your mind and your memories to see if you were a real threat disguised in human form, though I found out you're a pure being, a miko, one worthy of a wish.” She replied sheepishly and knowingly.

 

“I see you just went through a heavy betrayal, from one you one though you loved. But you have good friends and from what I saw a good little kit who sees you as his mother, and your desire to become stronger to show the one who betrayed you a lesson.” She replied to me with a smile.

 

I was shocked to say the least. I was going to get a free wish! Though I shall leave the wishing to her but I felt I must pay her back somehow and I knew just how I was gonna do it! I thought with finality.

 

“Only if I can give you a wish back and you can wish for me what you think is best for me, I do not want to be greedy.

 

She smiled, “you're an honest one and a kind one, what it is you wish for me?” she asked with cheer.

 

“I wish you free” I smiled at her knowing this was something she least expected of me.

 

“What? You want to set me free? Child you truly are a blessing in human form! Oh I have the perfect wish for you! And I think your kit will like it especially! She replied joyously knowing she would be free.

 

With that she touched her mark on her forehead and said things in a strange language and glowed brilliant silver, contrasting with her red hair vibrantly. She then touched my forehead and the light transferred to my body, first it was pleasant then I had this bubbly sensation all over my body.

 

I felt my ears pointing, along with my teeth changing shaped and my whole body structure changing, becoming stronger and more agile. And with a final pop I felt something coming from my buttocks area, something fury.

 

I stopped and everything came in a rush. I could now smell everything around the forest even my own scent which smelled more pleasant now then I could remember, I could see things in such good focus and I could lock onto things by adjusting my pupils, my hearing was so accurate I could hear my heart and Yakima's heart pumping in rhythm. But I soon learned how to tone it down to a moderate level of my comfort.

 

I looked to see Yakima looking at me proudly. “Your beauty astounds me Kagome! I did well this time! Go look into the water and see for your self!” she replied cheerfully.

 

I walked over to the waters edge and looked in to see a completely different person. I had midnight colored hair with lighter blue streaks running through, it was perfectly strait and had an ever lasting shine to it, almost past my waist now, and my eyes had changed from their slate color to a brilliant blue, my lips now more cushy and plump. I also had dark magenta stripes on either cheek and a silver star on my forehead.

 

I also noticed I grew at least 3 inched with a slim waist and toned muscles, but not the bulgy kind, I also noticed I was a whole cup bigger in my chest area than before.

 

I smiled noticing my tail was coming up to rest on my shoulder which was the same color as my hair. I looked toward Yakima and noticed her standing there smiling. I quickly ran over to her hugging, “Thank you so much! But what kind of demon am I?” I asked her curious.

 

“Well a kitsune of course!” she replied gently

 

“Really? That means I can make Shippo my real son through the bond ritual! Thank you so much!”

 

“It was my pleasure Kagome you have set me free and I owe you much! How can I ever repay you?” she asked.

 

“You can be my friend! I can tell you all about my adventures and you me!” I replied instantly grinning.

 

“Really Kagome? I am very happy, friends forever, if you ever need me contact me through mind link. I also gave you the ability of telepathy and the elements, so well be in contact always, just envision my scent and ill reply ok? She told me happily.

 

“Yes of coarse I will! And you can always contact me and we can chat any time you like and if your ever in trouble just call me and I'll help you okay? I replied to her

 

“As you will me! Any time you need me, ill be there for you!” she replied happily.

 

She then looked at the suns position, and gasped, “Well Kagome I gotta go now, I believe my capturer is close and I must leave before he catches me again. So long Kagome! Remember you can always talk to me okay?” she replied seeing me smile and nod, vanished into the air, leaving the arrow and a golden stone in her wake.

 

I grabbed the arrow and threw it into the rocks hiding it from the men coming around the trees and lounged out onto the rocks and appeared to be resting.

 

“LOOK! A DEMON!” one of the men shouted and I mental thought confused for a minute `demon?' then I realized I was a demon and I needed to appear harmless so I wouldn't get shot at with arrows and spears I see the men carrying.

 

“You called me kind sirs?” I ask them politely, noticing them blink in confusion at my not hateful words. But on of them, a brave one I guess stepped forwards and I think he was Yakima's capturer, and I glared at him warningly. He glared right back, “have you seen a woman here with long red hair, kitsune? I shake my head and glance toward the pool of water near my feet and picky up the golden stone and tuck it into the inner pocket on my shirt.

 

“Well if you do see her, tell her that her husband is looking for her and would like her home as soon as possible, he said with an evil smirk.

 

“Fine, I will but I don't think the women running that way looked like she wanted to return to you, I say smiling mischievously. The man looked at me in momentary confusion at my statement then exclaimed loudly, “you lying fox I though you said you didn't see her!” he yelled angrily.

 

I had been feeling more curious and more mischievous since I had turned into a fox demon and this pleased me, since it kinda clashed with my former self, it was time to change and this was a good way to start.

 

“Well I AM a fox you know, we don't usually tell the truth much”, I say with a sly smile. The man glared and took off in the direction I pointed to when I told him his “wife” disappeared to.

 

Finally alone, I picked up my bag and headed toward the village, on the way I filed through my mind and saw all my new knowledge, I still had my miko powers, which were now 3 times more than my previous powers, I would have probably be able to take on the legendary priestess and hold out.

 

I knew I was more powerful than Kikyou and I would keep that at my advantage, seeing as she only had her miko powers to protect her, and since I now had miko and youkai powers, Kikyou no longer stood in my way by power alone.

 

I then looked at the stone, noticing its inscriptions, I smiled; Miroku will have a surprise waiting for me him when I get back.

 

I start walking, I can now see the village in my view and I smell my kit Shippo waiting for me near the villages edge with Kaede.

 

For about 2 years now Kaede had made the village a place for human and demons alike, and many had come to the village as a kind of sanctuary. The village would not mind my presence to much but they would like to know who I am and where my origins place.

 

I walk into the village and see Shippo take off at a great speed toward me but stops mid step before me and looks at me strangely, “momma?” he asks me, I smile and nod and he jumps into my arms, asking me questions a mile a minute.

 

“How'd you turn into a demon Kagome? You're so pretty! What kinds of kitsune are you? “I blink, able to catch the questions when before all I would get was a jumble of words, `being a demon sure has its perks!' I thought.

 

“All in due time Shippo, but first I need to eat and im not going to let this lunch I brought here go to waste here.” I laugh and poke Shippo's tummy hearing it growl with hunger.

 

“He smiled and brought me over to Kaede's hut and I saw Sango and Miroku snuggling near the fire, they have gotten so close these past years and I smiled, bought damn time.”

 

“Miroku can you come over here for a minute, I have something for you”.

 

“Sure Kagome-Chan, he replied getting up from Sango with a kiss to her forehead.

 

“As you know Naraku is recovering from out last battle, but you have a battle of your own you seem to not be able to heal from, but im here to heal you.” I reply with a sly smile, and that's when he notices the changed in me.

 

“ka..kag..KAGOME! You're a kitsune!? Since when? Do you still have your spiritual powers? I nod, Wow! I've never seen a cross breed of a miko and a demon! Kagome you could destroy Naraku with one attack! You're so powerful!” Miroku exclaimed surprised, calling Sango over to see me.

 

Sango came over and looked at me in surprise, recognizing me immediately. I smiled, thank god my friends new my aurora, or else we wouldn't be able to trust each other as completely as we do now.

 

“Yes, I met up with a sprite that gives wishes to those she deems worthy unless caught, she was wounded and I healed her would, and she gave me a wish, but I let her do the honors, but first I set her free from her capturer. She made me a kitsune with Shippo on mind so we could complete the bonding ritual so we can truly be mother and kit. But she also let me stay with my miko powers perfectly in balance with my demon side; I also have the power over the elements, which will come in handy in the near future. And Sango, it's rude to be thinking such perverted thoughts around me when im talking, I thought that was Miroku's job.

 

Sango blushed and looked at me in thought, “so I see you have the ability to read others thoughts and also communicate with them, correct? “Yes you are correct Sango, I can talk in your mind” I said through the common pathway of thought.

 

Sango then looked at me and I knew exactly what it meant, it now meant she would not get any sleep with that thought out in the open. I silently laugh at that picture, and then was disgusted with its outcome.

 

“So? Would any one like some lunch? I made me specialty! I chirped, amazed at my sudden mood change, but all that was then ruined when Inuyasha's scent penetrated my oh so sensitive nose along with that whore whose now by his side.

 

“Kagome? Shippo asked me worriedly, but I smiled a cold smile to him but he saw the warmth in my eyes directed at him and knew exactly what was to come when he took a sniff of the wind.

 

“Inuyasha” he whispered evilly.

 

“Ah Miroku I almost forgot, seeing how close you and Sango are becoming I have come up with a way to end the battle you have so bravely fought for so long.” I reach into my pocket and take out the golden stone and kiss it empowering it with an extra boost of energy that would take out the curse.

 

“Give me your cursed hand please?” he nods and hands me his hands, I grab it and lay it palm up, I lay the stone in the middle of the purple fabric covering the winds tunnel and see it absorb into the wind tunnel.

 

There was a large pop of energy and then the purple fabric slipped of Miroku's hands leaving bare palm and no hole that would suck you to your death. I smile at my handy work and see Miroku with tears in his eyes.

 

“Thank you Kagome! You don't know how much this means to me! I nod and see Miroku get down on one knee before Sango and I smile knowing what was on his mind, literally.

 

“Sango, will you do me the honor of being my wife?” Miroku asked with hopeful eyes, waiting for his loves answer.

 

“OH MIROKU! YES YES YES AND FOREVER YES! ILL MARRY YOU! Sango yelped in happiness and launched her self in his arms and the two soon to be man and wife went outside to be with each other alone.

 

I smiled at my own usefulness.

 

I walk outside waiting for Inuyasha's arrival in the next hour or so, a fox's smell could rival a dogs and I had smelled Inuyasha's approaching scent on the winds.

 

I sit down near the side of the hut in Indian style and see Shippo come over, I wave him over to my lap and he sits enjoying the sound of my heartbeat under his ears, and is soon lulled to sleep.

 

I look down at him and smile, tomorrow will be the day I and him join as mother and son, in the afternoon tomorrow I will train him in the fox arts and then maybe go hunt for some jewel shards.

 

I look up to the notice boards focusing my gaze for any sitting of the jewel shards, seeing some a paper stating some have been sited at the west I begin my plan for the journey westward tomorrow.

 

But then a paper catches eye, a draft for demons into the western army, battles are to be held at the western castle for positions as commanders and lieutenants.

 

I smile; its time to pay old Sesshomaru a visit.

 

I shift, careful not to wake Shippo, into a more comfortable position and close my eyes, getting rest for the tiring day tomorrow will most definitely be.
