Chapter 6: Trip detour
“What are you doing here?” Inuyasha growled at the flea
“Well,” Myoga started rubbing his forehead, “I sensed spiritual powers in the air and followed it closely. I finally came upon you and everyone else just as the Sister Goddesses recited their poem. Then I saw this delicious demon and thought I’d have a taste.”
“I’m not a demon, well not exactly.” Kelei interjected. “I mean look at me! I’ve never looked like this before!” She flashed her fangs and flexed her claws at the flea, causing him to run away and jump onto Inuyasha.
“You started to change while you were running after the Sister Goddesses.” Inuyasha said
Myoga was deep in thought with his arms crossed. “How old are you my dear?” He asked Kelei.
“Oh, well, I just turned 16 today! Do you think that has something to do with it?”
“Yes, I am assuming with the mix of your parents and the type of demon your mother was, that once you came of a certain age you would transform into your true self. In this case of turning 16 your true features showed up the exact moment you were born 16 years ago.”
“Well,” Kelei said glancing at her claws, “This will be hard to get used to. So now I have different eyes, pointed ears, claws and fangs. That pretty much covers it right?” She said chuckling.
“Don’t forget about this!” Shippo squeaked. He had gotten off Kirara and was at Kelei’s feet. He was pointing up behind her. Curled around the back of her leg was a small fluffy blonde tail.
“Eeek! Now I have a tail?!”
“But it’s so cute!” Kagome said cheerfully. She walked over and rubbed Kelei’s tail and started giggling. “How come you don’t have a tail Inuyasha?”
“How should I know?” He asked rhetorically.
Kelei glanced at her dead father on the floor and her face saddened. “Let’s talk more later, I want to give my father a burial before any other demons come.” Everyone agreed to her proposal and got to it. Once he was buried Miroku gave his blessings. Close friends of Kelei and her father was comforting her or visiting the burial. Her new appearance startled them immensely but they knew that she was the same person.
They went back to Kelei’s house and straightened up a bit before they all sat down to discuss what had happened. No one really was in the mood to travel, well with the exception of Inuyasha.
“It’s been bugging me, but how were the Sister Goddesses captured and transformed into snake youkai?” Sango asked.
“Not only how but why?” Miroku added.
“Well they kept going after Kagome, does someone have something against her?” Kelei questioned.
“The only person I can think of is Naraku, but this doesn’t seem like something he’d do. I also didn’t smell him anywhere.” Told Inuyasha.
“Yeah, and even if it was Naraku, why would he go after me particularly?” Kagome reasoned.
“This could be a whole new demon altogether.” Sango suggested. They all were in deep thought of their theory’s until Myoga broke the silence.
“Well your best bet is to go to the mountains as they told. I’m almost positive that they were speaking of the Zetsumei Mountains (A/N just noting, these mountains do not exist in Japan, they came from my imagination ^_^;). But what exactly you’ll find there, I do not know.”
"Well we better prepare if we are to go on this journey." Miroku suggested. Myoga nodded in return.
"And if I go I need to spend a little bit of time with my family. It could take a while to get to the mountains and all." Kagome explained standing up. She half expected Inuyasha to protest but he didn't. He must have concluded that its better than her leaving during the journey back and forth slowing them down more than she would by staying with them the whole time.
Everyone agreed and also stood up. They left the house and walked outside into the dusty road. It was settled that Kagome would spend a two weeks in the modern era. While she would be there the rest would be getting supplies and weapons, and wait in Kaede's village. Kagome said good-bye to everyone and jumped through the time transporting well. When she got to the other end she sighed, she had two whole weeks to relax and get caught up in school. The last excuse must have been something mentally wrong with her, her Grandpa must have run out of physical illnesses by now.
Greeting her family Kagome went up to her room and laid down on her bed, not necessarily to sleep, but to think.
Time flew by and before she even knew it, it was the day before she left. And surprisingly the day before her birthday! 'How did I forget something like my 16th birthday?' Kagome asked herself bewildered one evening. She was sitting at the kitchen table by herself munching on some snacks.
Suddenly the lights flicked off. Kagome gasped, but when she saw floating candles come out of no where, she started laughing. "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you. Happy birthday dear Kagome, happy birthday to you!" Mrs. Higurashi, grandpa and Souta sang to her rather off key. The lights turned back on by Souta and Mrs. Higurashi set the cake down infront of Kagome.
"Mom my birthday isn't till tomorrow!" She laughed.
"We know, but your leaving tomorrow for your big adventure so we wanted to celebrate it before you left!" Mrs. Higurashi responded smiling warmly. "Now make a wish and blow out your candles." Kagome closed her eyes and thought hard, then deciding on a wish she blew out all the candles.
"What did you wish for?" Souta asked curiously.
"I can't tell you it wont come true!" Kagome said. She had wished that all her friends stayed safe on the journey. And also that she wouldn't fail the 9th grade.
They all sat at the table together and ate the delisious cake that Mrs. Higurashi made herself. When everyone was full, the atmosphere became very sleepy. Kagome yawned deeply and said goodnight to her family. She would be leaving early the next day so she needed her rest. When she was in bed she snuggled under the blankets as comfortable as she could get, this could be the last time in a while that she would be in the comfort of her own bed.
"Beep, beep, beep, beep." The annoying alarm went off. The raven haired girl turned off the alarm and stumbled out of bed. She rubbed her eyes as she woke up and looked at the time. It was 7:00. Very early.
Kagome got changed into outside of school clothes and packed the biggest bag yet, infact it must be a record for her. She proceeded into the bathroom and washed her face looking into the mirror. Now she was sixteen. Funny, she didn't feel like she was sixteen, she always felt like that whenever it was her birthday. When she was finished upstairs she got a few things out of the kitchen and left a farewell note. She didn't want to wake everyone up just to say 'bye.
As she walked out of the house she gained more energy. She was actually a little excited to travel to the mountains, Myoga said it was near the shore so they would be by an ocean! She had never been that close to one while in the feudal era. Kagome walked into the building with the well and sat on the ledge and pushed herself in. There was a tingling sensation as she fell down but just supposed it was the feeling of traveling through time. When she was on the other side she looked up at the exit of the dark well. She was going to have a hell of a time climbing up with a two ton bag.
Somehow she did get out of the well pretty fast, she didn't realize how strong she was! When she climbed out a voice yelled behind her. "Who are you hanyou?!" Kagome spun around scared but when she saw it was Inuyasha she sighed out a laugh.
"Inuyasha! You scared me, what are you talking about?" She said smiling. Something was poking her lips, was it her teeth?
Hearing Inuyasha's voice raised Miroku, Kelei, and Sango jogged into veiw followed by Shippo and Myoga on top of Kirara. They all gaped at Kagome. She looked from face to face starting to get a weird feeling. "You guys why are you looking at me like that? I haven't been gone that long seriously!"
When Inuyasha realized it was Kagome his mouth dropped. He walked up to her and sniffed her. "What are you doing?" She asked pushing him away, then she saw it. Her fingers had extremely long fingernails, in fact they looked somewhat like claws. "Wah??"
Kagome hurridly opened her yellow backpack and looked for her compact. When she found it she fumbled as she opened it and looked into it. She wasn't exactly Kagome anymore. "What the.. what happened to me?!" Kagome hollared jumping up. Her ears were pointy, her teeth had fangs and her eyes looked like Kelei's did. She held her breath and felt behind her, there was a tail protruding from her lower back.
"Oh my gosh I have a tail!" Kagome began running around in circles trying to see it clearly. Everyone couldn't do anything but hold back snorts and laughs as they watched her, still confused. "Don't laugh at me, look what has happened! I mean, what has happened?"
There was silence as people thought about her question, and Shippo was the first to say something. "Kagome, you look alot like Kelei!" As he said this there were nods of agreement. Kelei went and stood next to her. It was true, they looked exactly the same except the color difference in their hair and eyes. Standing next to her, Kagome felt more sisterly towards Kelei even though she barely knew her. They stared at each other, it was amazing how much they looked alike.
Kagome slapped her fore-arm and a tiny flattened flea drifted in the air. When it popped back into shape Kagome glared at it. "Will you give it a rest already?" She asked him angrily.
"I'm sorry but, I- I couldn't resist!" Myoga nervously laughed.
"Myoga, do you have any theories behind this?" Sango asked the flea, still transfixed at the two girls.
"Well..." The flea said thinking intently. Even with the vastness of his knowledge, it was pretty difficult to figure out the situation. Both Kelei and Kagome had changed into a part-demon. But why both...
"Kagome are you of 16 yet?" Myoga questioned her.
"I'm 16 today." She responded without a thought. But that helped Myoga's coming theory alot. So they both turned into part-demon's on their 16 birthday. Kelei had a human and a half-demon parents. But Kagome's parents he knew nothing of.
"What about your parents, your Mother is human correct? What about your Father?"
"Well yeah, my mom is human, I'm pretty sure. My dad..." Mentioning her father's name caused Kagome's eyes to close. Thinking of him was hard, particulary becuase she didn't even know him. She was born and raised from her mother. At least that is what Mrs. Higurashi has told her. She said that Kagome had never met him because he dissapeared a month before she was born. She doesn't even know why he left her. "Well I don't know about him, I never have been aquantinted with the man." She said rather coldly.
There was a bit of an aqward silence after her words, no one had heard Kagome speak ill of her family before. And it also doesn't help that everyone in the group had no parents except for Kagome, who's mother was still alive.
"Would your mother know anything about your father's ancestors?" Myoga asked.
"Maybe. Where are you getting at though?" Kagome replied. "Are you saying my dad had demon ancestors?"
"It very well may be likely. But it would have to be very distant since you live in a era where there is no visible demons. And to say now you have transformed into one on your 16th birthday you'd have to be parented by a part-demon at least to have such distinctive features." The flea reasoned crossing his 2 sets of arms. "You really should speak with your mother before you set out on the journey, it might be vital information."
"I guess I should." Kagome looked over to Inuyasha who was standing with crossed arms, the shock fading. "Let's go Inuyasha."
"Woah, wait, why do I have to go?" Said Inuyasha pointing at himself.
"I don't know your a half-demon you might know something my mom says or... I don't know just come with me!" Kagome said frustratedly and grabbed Inuyasha's arm and pulled him towards the well. Inuyasha who was unaware of Kagome's new strength was half-dragged across the grass. "We'll see you all soon again!" Kagome yelled behind her shoulder as she jumped in the well, Inuyasha being pulled after.
