Transformations
Once they had finished with dinner the girls announced that they were going to bathe. Kagome got all of the things together that the girls needed and they walked towards the hot springs, but then made a detour going to the well clearing instead.
"I need to go back and let my other family know of Naraku's defeat. Would you two like to come with me?"
"Of course," Kikyo and Sango both answered.
So the girls held hands and jumped into the well all at once. They were all surrounded in the bluish pink light and transported 500 years into the future. Kikyo looked up and was amazed to see a roof above the well. They all climbed out and went out of the well house. Once outside Kikyo stopped and looked around. She was overwhelmed by the sight of things.
"Kagome, where are we?"
"Oh I am sorry Kikyo, I forgot that you didn't know. We are 500 years into the future. This is where I was raised until two years ago when I was dragged into the well by that centipede demon. This is or was my world. Now though I know the truth and where I belong."
"Kags, what do you say we stay here for awhile and show Kikyo around. There is one thing missing from her that we both already have. The ta-too."
"That's a wonderful idea San. What do you say Kik?"
"Sounds good to me, but what is a ta-too?"
"Come on and we will show you, we have to get changed anyways if we are going to go shopping."
The three of them walked into the house and looked around for Kagome's family. When no one was to be found the girls went up to Kagome's room and started to look for the clothes they usually wore plus an outfit for Kikyo. Sango found herself a pair of dark blue capris and a dark purple tank top that had "Slayer" written in black on it, Kagome found a pair of black capris and a pink tank top that said "Miko" written in white, while Kikyo found a pair of red capris and silver tank top that had "Fallen Angel" written in white on it. Kagome then chanted a concealing spell on herself to hide her demon self. While the girls were changing Kagome motioned for Sango to turn around and show Kikyo her back. Kagome pointed to the symbol of the North on Sango's right shoulderblade and said:
"That Kikyo is a tatoo."
Kikyo nodded. They finished getting dressed and then went downstairs. Kagome noticed that the house was still empty and decided to leave a note so that way no one would think that her mom's car was stolen. She got her mom's car keys off of the hook by the door, wondering where her family was, and led the other two girls to the car. Once in the car Kagome showed them how to fasten the seatbelts and then started the car and drove to the mall.
"Kags, do you think we will see the guys again this time?" asked Sango.
"I don't know, but I hope so. I think we had better explain to Kikyo so that she is prepared."
So Sango explained to Kikyo what had happened the last time they were here and went to the mall. By the time Sango was done explaining it they had arrived at the mall and Kagome had found a parking spot. They all got out and went inside. The first place they went was the tatoo parlor. It was open, thank Kami, and they went inside. The same guy was there and he recognized them immediately.
"Ah, I see that you have brought a friend with you this time. I trust that you are satisfied with the work I did when you were here the last time?" he asked.
"Yes we are very satisfied. We actually were wondering if you could do the same one on our friend here."
"Of course, I will even give you a discount on this one since you are such loyal customers."
Kagome decided to wander around the shop and look at the different pictures that he had up. That was when she saw it, a dark blue cresent moon. It looked identical to the one on Sesshomaru's forehead.
'It would look perfect next to the star on my back, and the one that Kikyo is getting as well. After all they are both Lords of the Western Lands, and Kikyo is Inuyasha's mate, as I am Sesshomaru's,' thought Kagome.
She had decided. Kagome walked to the room where Sango and her had gotten their tatoos at and saw that the man was almost done with Kikyo's.
"Excuse me," she said. "I don't mean to disturb your work but I think that I would also like another one for her and I both. I was looking around out there and saw the perfect tatoo that would compliment that one. I want the dark blue cresent moon to go next to the star on her back and then I want you to do the same thing to mine. Also under her star I want you to put the word Guardian."
"Excellent choice my lady."
"What did you just call me?"
"I am sorry that just slipped."
Kagome just nodded. She decided to take a closer look at this "man" and was shocked by what she saw. Instead of a man sitting there was a youkai, and a very familiar looking one at that.
'OMG!!!!' she thought as she recognized the youkai. 'That is Lord Inutashio!! Why didn't I recognize him sooner? Oh yea, the wish wasn't made at that time. Duh Kagome, he wasn't supposed to be alive then.'
She waited until he was finished with Kikyo before she laid down and waited for him to do the moon on her shoulder. She took that opportunity to let Sango and Kikyo know what she had discovered via mind link. When both girls gasped she chuckled. When Inutashio was finished she got up and went to pay him.
"No, my Lady. Those were on the house."
"Thank you my Lord. How is Lady Yuma anyways?"
"So, you figured it out did you?"
"Yes, and I also figured out why I didn't sense it before. We will be going now. Once again thank you Inutashio. I look forward to seeing your mate's reaction in the past. I have a feeling that her and my mother will both be waiting for me at father's castle."
The girls then realized that they were starved. Kagome led them to the same place that her and Sango had eaten before. Once they had gotten their food they went to the same table that they had before, only this time there was one other person. Sure enough they all felt the youkai coming towards them. The girls chose to ignore it though because they already knew who it was. Sesshomaru and Inuyasha walked up behind Kagome and Kikyo and put their arms around each girls waist. All three of the girls smiled. Kagome and Kikyo both jumped though when they each felt a slight nip on the back of their necks. The two guys jumped back just in time to avoid an elbow in the chest. Sango sat there laughing. They finished eating and then got up to leave, before they left though Kagome and Kikyo gave Sesshomaru and Inuyasha a kiss and told them they would see them soon in the past. So the girls left and went back to Kagome's house and down the well. Once they were on the other side of the well Kagome took off the concealing spell and leapt out of the well with Sango and Kikyo in each arm. They walked over to the God Tree and sat down. Kagome looked at each one of the other two girls and put up a barrier.
"Kikyo, Sango are you both ready for this? Sango this will be painful for you and I am sorry there is nothing I can do to stop the pain. It will be painful for you because your entire body will change."
The two girls nodded to Kagome letting them know they were ready. Kagome held out her right wrist which indicated to the others that they were to do the same, which they did. She did the same process that she went through with Sango just months before. They all repeated the chant that would bind them together as sisters. Once finished with that Kagome turned to Sango.
"Are you sure that this is what you want to do Sango? I am giving you one last chance to back out."
"Yes Kags, I am positive that this is what I want."
That was all Kagome needed to hear. She stood up and walked over to Sango, placed her hand on Sango's forehead, right where the mark of the North was, and said:
"I call upon the bond of blood made between this human and I. This young woman has made her decision, she no longer wishes to be human. Grant her wish and make her fully my blood sister!"
As soon as the last word was said Kagome removed her hand from Sango as she was engulfed in the bluish pink light. Sango screamed in pain. Neither of the other two could see what was happening due to the thickness of the light. Everywhere throughout all of the lands everyone could feel the surge of magic. They all wondered what was happening to send such a surge. The only ones that truly knew what was happening were the Lord and Lady of the North, the Lady of the South, the former Lord and Lady of the West and the current Lords of the West. Once the light faded there sat a young demoness where moments ago sat a young human woman. Sango now looked identical to Kagome with only two differences: instead of midnight blue streaks in her hair were dark purple streaks and instead of sapphire blue eyes Sango still had her chocolate brown ones, but they now had blue and emerald flecks to them.
"Sango, you look beautiful. Now you are truly my sister. What do you say that us women go to Father's tonight and meet the guys there tommorrow?"
Both women agreed and so it was decided. Kagome let Sesshomaru know via mind link what they were doing.
--------------------At the same time in the Northern Castle-------------
Ladies Yuma and Rei were out in the garden with the children, which now included Kohaku, watching them play and talking.
"It appears that you will soon have an addition to your two daughters Rei," said Yuma.
"You feel it too then? I am glad, I always did like Lady Kikyo. She will be welcomed with open arms by both my husband and I."
"I think we should have a suprise waiting when our children arrive don't you?" Yuma asked with a michevious glint in her eyes.
"I agree totally. Children come here, we have a question for you."
The children stopped playing and came running to their grandmothers. It still amazed the two women how quickly Kohaku accepted them as friends. Usually someone raised as a demon slayer was taught to kill all demons because they were all evil. Yuma had questioned him about that earlier today. His answer was simple:
"Sango said that Kagome was her best friend and our sister by the blood bond. If you are Kagome's family then you are all also trustworthy and also my family."
That took Yuma by suprise as well as Rei when Yuma had told her. Then again when they thought about it not so suprising. Kohaku was more like Sango than either of them realized.
"As we explained to all three of you before, the blood bond gives a choice to humans. The choice to remain human or to become demon. Sango was given that choice as Kagome is giving it to Kikyo. Yes, Shippou before you ask I said Kikyo. She has proven her loyalty to your mother. Kikyo is now your aunt. Now the question we have for you children is this: Would you like to truly become your parents blood children? Kohaku this is asked to you because your sister will now be your mother," said Yuma.
All three looked at each other, excitement in their eyes, and nodded at the adults.
"Very well then, Kohaku and Rin you must know that this will be very painful for both of you because your entire bodies will change. I want all three of you to join hands and close your eyes."
The children did as they were asked, while Rei put up a soundproof barrier like Kagome's. Yuma grabbed Rin's hand while Rei grabbed Shippou's, Kohaku was in the middle of Shippou and Rin. Rei squeezed Yuma's hand giving her the signal that they were ready to begin. Yuma closed her eyes and pictured Rin as she was now, then she started changing her appearance. First she started with the things that would not harm the child. Yuma pictured Rin's hair a raven black, like it is, but with siler streaks in it and lengthened to her waist, then she pictured Rin's chocolate brown eyes and concentrated on changing them to a golden color with sapphire blue flecks in them. Next she concentrated on her fingernails, instead of human fingernails she pictured them as silver claws with a blue stripe down the center of each. On her cheeks and wrists she pictured one magenta stripe and one midnight blue stripe. On the right side of Rin's bangs she added 2 white streaks followed by 2 pink and 2 more white. On her forehead she added a blue cresent moon and then the midnight blue 6 point star, in the middle of the star is a white diamond and in the middle of the diamond is a pink teardrop. This completed the easy part of changing Rin, now came the painful part, changing her blood. She felt out Rin's blood and very quickly set about changing it from human to demon. She tried to do it quickly due to the pain it was causing the child, but she also did not want to make any mistakes. She blocked out the child's screams in order to concentrate. Once Yuma was done with Rin it was Kohaku's turn. This was done more quickly due to the fact that not as many changes were need for him. His eyes stayed the same with the exception of the sapphire flecks that were now in them. His hair was now down to the middle of his back with dark purple streaks in it. He now had the symbol of the North on his forehead, and the most diffucult part of changing his blood was almost done. Kohaku was taking the pain quite well due to his training as a demon slayer. His fingernails were now black claws with a white stripe in the center of each of them. Next came Shippou. Rei closed her eyes and concentrated on changing him. She saw him as he is now and started the changes with his hair. His auburn hair now turned a bright silver with raven and midnight blue streaks going through it. His eyes were now a brilliant sapphire blue with gold flecks in them. His claws became black with silver and blue stripes in the center of each one. Upon his forehead was the symbol of the North first and the West second. This completed Shippou's changes. The two adults opened their weary eyes to see how the children looked. They both gasped as they took in the sight of them.
"Alright children, you may open your eyes and go look into the fountain at your new appearances."
All three of them did just that. Once they saw their new look they started jumping up and down. Then ran to the adults and almost knocked them over, giving them hugs.
"Thank you Lady Yuma and Lady Rei!!!!" yelled Kohaku.
"Kohaku, you are now my grandson, call me grandma," stated Rei.
"Yes grandma."
"Now we must go and rest. I want you three to stay here I do believe your mothers and Aunt will be arriving soon. We want to suprise them so please stay here and let them come find you."
The two women walked into the castle and to their rooms. Once they were both settled and had told the servants to wake them once Lady Kagome returned with her sisters to wake them, they fell asleep.
