Last time
The assault on the world continued, throbbing and churning until the skies seemed ready to fall apart. Kakutsune felt her own beams of energy strike her. Her own energy stripped from her from every direction. She felt her energy taken from her and leaving her with nothing as she fell to the ground in a disgruntled heap.

The skies cleared and her spell was in place and having already taken affect as day became the moonless night of the new moon.
~~~
Now

“Hey Inuyasha do you feel that?” Kagome said as she peered out the screen that served as a door to Kaede’s hut. Her skin had begun to crawl with the energy that was being emitted from far off. It wasn’t a jewel shard she was sure of that, but whatever it was it left her restless, anxious and scared, especially since it was the night of the new moon.

A human Inuyasha sat in a far off corner, leaning offhandedly against the wall and holding his Tetsusaiga to his chest, eyes closed and contemplative. He looked at her and nodded glancing towards the window as he watched from his seat, white lights flash in the distance. The luminous bands breaking the dark navy and gray of the moonless sky.

“Have any idea what that could be?” He asked as Kagome stepped aside, allowing Miroku and Sango to enter the hut. Sango, one of two surviving demon slayers and Miroku the monk cursed with the wind tunnel in his right hand entered with weary faces. Miroku’s robes were unusually filthy and his dirt streaked face showed that he had little to no energy to spare. The same went for Sango who Kagome immediately moved to assist.

Shippo the small fox demon that had been soundly sleeping on Kagome’s sleeping bag looked up with half opened eyes as the two entered.

“Welcome back guys.” He said in a meek voice, rubbing his eyes from sleep and trying to remain attentive.

“Hey guys what did you find?” Kagome said apprehensively. There had been rumors of a band of demons that had assembled and were using the jewel shards to augment their powers and began destroying any villages they came across.

“Three villages were destroyed, each burned to the ground and leaving no survivors within the vicinity. The demons did a thorough job and to make things even more ominous,” Miroku explained as he seated himself close to the fire staring inanely into the flames.

“Each time the demons vanished without a trace, there were no scents or anything to follow. Then a little while ago, there was an extraordinarily powerful aura being emitted. We found it at one of the villages and lights began to shoot from this particular spot.” He mused as Sango placed her Hiraikotsu against the wall and sat down as well.

“Men, women and children were dead when we got there. And we got caught in the lights.” She said and Kagome suddenly realized the small bundle in the demon slayers arms. Instead of seeing twin, tan and black tails that would indicate it was Kirara instead; there was what appeared to be an common cat.

It was larger than the small kitten like demon and though the colors remained the same it had one great downy tail hanging out from Sango’s arms. Lifting its head bright yellow eyes looked up at Kagome and the others all but Miroku gasped.

“What Sango where’s Kirara? Did you lose her in the lights?” Shippo asked as the cat meowed hiding its head once more in Sango’s hands.

Sango looked sorrowfully at the cat in her arms. “Shippo, this IS Kirara… When we were caught in the lights I’m not sure what happened but…”

“Kirara turned into an ordinary cat during flight we all fell.” Miroku finished as Inuyasha examined the once cat demon.

“Do you think it’s the power of a jewel shard?” he asked as he inspected the feline, Shippo hopping agilely onto his shoulder.

“I don’t think so Inuyasha, I can’t sense the jewel at all.” Kagome said as she continued to watch the lights but there was a hint of panic in her voice as she looked out the door once again to watch the lights. “Whatever it is it’s coming this way!”

Everyone jumped up and running outside to watch as the lights headed in their directions.

“Time to go everybody!” Inuyasha yelled grabbing Kagome by the hand and dragging/pulling her along. Kagome having no time to arm herself had no choice but to follow after him and run, staying there wouldn’t help them.

Sango however had grabbed her weapon, never had there been a time where she had gone without it. The lights bombarded the hut and were shuttling towards them in vicious streams.

“Kagome look out!” Shippo wailed and Kagome had a split second to watch as the bolt of light flew at her from two directions.

“Oh no, Kagome! Wind Tunnel!” Miroku shouted opening up his wind tunnel by removing the prayer beads around his hand and exposed the palm. A vicious whirlwind began to suck everything in its path as he position himself to Kagome’s left side where one of the beams was directed.

“I’ll protect you Kagome!” Shippo exclaimed jumping off her shoulder and standing to her left. “Go, Fox fire!”

The two attacks one either side were meant to stop the shafts of light, but neither was effective. Miroku’s wind tunnel could suck up solids, liquids and gas. However he couldn’t suck up light.

And the fox fire just passed right through the beam until each light struck the two.

“Shippo! Miroku!” Kagome exclaimed ready to try and support them, only to have Inuyasha grab her from behind and jump as another stream of lights began to hail down on them.

“Don’t just stand there idiot move!” He growled as the sun began to peek slowly over the horizon. Sango came running to their side Kirara no longer in the restraints of her arms but running alongside her.

“Sango, Miroku and Shippo were caught in the blast.” Kagome said woefully watching as the demon slayers expression darkened.

“I know but we have to keep moving until we can go after whatever is doing this.” She brooded though the hint of disinclination in her voice was more than apparent.

“It’s nice that we can talk but let’s try to pay attention here!” Inuyasha hollered as he made another jump to avoid another bolt of light, but without his demon abilities not only did he not jump very far, he slipped on the dew stained grass causing both him and Kagome to topple to the ground.

“Kagome, Inuyasha, are you both alright?” Sango said insistently as she halted before her fallen companions.

“Damn being human sucks.” Came the disgruntled growl from the black haired Inuyasha as Kagome slowly got off him, glaring angrily at him.

“What’s that supposed to mean!?”

“You heard me! Being human sucks”

“Why I outta-“

Sango sighed in exasperation as in their moment of peril the two could spare a moment to bicker. “Hey if either of you hadn’t notice we’re under attack here!”

The two combatants stopped their verbal assault on one another and returned the gazes to the sky as three bands of light came plummeting down on them. Kirara stood at Sango’s side hissing and bristling, even as a cat she was fairly menacing. Sango used her boomerang as a shield and Inuyasha positioned himself on the other side with the untransformed Tetsusaiga while handing Kagome the sheath.

The first hurtling light struck Sango’s Hiraikotsu and the light seemed to be stopped momentarily, going around the object and casting a shadow behind her. The beam headed for Inuyasha struck the Tetsusaiga head on without hindrance from the blade and Inuyasha was completely encompassed in light. Kagome found the sheath next to useless as the third blast struck her and her shout made Sango falter and that brief distraction got her caught in a fourth blast from above.

The band of five were soon bathed in morning light, the darkened sky subsiding and leaving bright blue and white, undisturbed clouds.

Miroku was the first to wake up his eyes stinging from the sudden addition of light. He moaned and for a moment he was completely surprised. He felt no pain and he clearly remembered being struck by something, but the feeling he’d received during the strange attack had been…dare he say it…arousing…

He groaned feeling sore though from laying in a very uncomfortable position of the ground and his back was wet making it even more uncomfortable as he righted himself, gathering his discarded staff and in doing so gasping in alarm.

He was pretty sure he hadn’t had claws the night before….

Something fuzzy tickled his ankles and he jumped turning around swiftly and looking down for whatever it had been and seeing nothing but a boy laying face flat on the ground. Bright orange hair and a fur vest, he would have thought it was Shippo if the boy had had a tail…and fox feet…and pointed ears…

Wait a minute…

Dare he? Dare he look at what was still tickling his ankles?

Taking a gulp of air, feeling his heart racing he turned enough to glance down his dampened backside….And sure enough…A fluffy black fox tail had sprouted through his robes….

“AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Ka gome, Sango and Shippo immediately jolted out of their sleep on the ground, a groan from Inuyasha indicating he too had awakened. Each of the first three to awaken were disgruntled and slightly wet from precipitation but otherwise intact…

Miroku grabbed the boy who was about the size of a twelve year old and began turning him around and upside down to examine him.

“Miroku what are you doing!” Shippo exclaimed as he was tossed around like a doll.

Miroku held him upside down examining his feet and the others seemed to be having the same reaction to seeing the two as they finally register what was actually happening. Shippo caught a good glance at his feet and his jaw dropped in astonishment at seeing exactly what he had gained.

His fox paws had turned into the five toes of a human, his tiny hands flew to the sides of his face as tears welled in his bright emerald eyes only to be acquainted by rounded ears instead of the slightly pointed ones he was so used to having. In addition, to make matters worse, the familiar puff that was his tail had disappeared.

“Kagome! Help me! Something’s happened and I not a demon anymore!” he wailed miserably, struggling in Miroku’s grasp as Sango gasped and soon afterward so did Kagome.

Miroku turned completely disregarding Shippo as he stared wide eyed at the two women he was so used to sneaking a peek at that now adorned new ‘appendages’.

Sango knelt on the wet grass her brown eyes brighter than they had been and tainted slightly with red turning them almost auburn. Her hair was matted with dew and grass; however, it was her behind that caught his attention.

Well more than usual anyway.

Poking out through her kimono were twin tails that wrapped around her ankles and moved occasionally. They greatly resembled the ones Kirara used to have except for the variation of color. Instead of tan, the tails were the same dark brown as her hair and the black stripes were a lighter brown like the highlights of her hair. Sango sat in complete bemusement her eyes wide with uncertainty and disbelief. Kirara was looking longingly at the tails and mewed lowly as if disappointed by the irony of events.

However, Kagome looked just about ready to faint where she stood looking down at herself. Her usually tame obsidian hair was now unruly waves falling around her finely shaped face and descended her backside to the point it nearly passed her behind. Her eyes usually a clever brown had slightly altered to a deep daunting crimson but like Sango the brown remained and hers however seemed burgundy.

Her eyelids had gained a light blue tint to them and she stared at the change with disbelief.

“Miroku, Sango, Shippo what’s happening to us? How’d we? When’d we?” Kagome stammered uncertain of where the endless stream of stammers would cease, feeling lightheaded she crumpled to the ground and in the process brushing against something surprisingly warm.

Someone grabbed her gently by the shoulders and she vacantly looked up into midnight blue eyes.

“Kagome get a grip would you we’ll figure out what happened- why you staring at me like that?” Kagome had been watching the man talking with something close to astounded confusion eyes wide and frightened.

“Inu-Yasha, you still…”

Inuyasha’s brows furrowed, meeting one another in a frown as he stared down at her.

“What’re you talking about?”

Sango, Shippo, and Miroku walked towards them tentatively also looking aghast. A vein was sprouting near Inuyasha’s temple at their silent stares and he gritted his teeth to prevent the vehement growl that wanted to be let out.

“Will you guys stop starin’ at me? I look like this all the time you know why the sudden interest!” he snarled but their stares were not hindered.

“Yeah but only on the night of the new moon.” Sango said pointedly and Inuyasha seemed to register her words examining his hands first and gasping at the lack of claws.

“What the-“ he jumped up hands fiddling on top of his head trying to feel the usually soft triangles that were mounted there but there was nothing as he trailed his hands down towards the sides of his face and finding human ears. He grabbed at his hair seeing the black remained instead of the usually silvery white that he received after the night where he was human.

“You can’t be serious!” he yelled abruptly as he realized that he was still human.
