"How much longer do you think it'll be till we get back to Kaede's?"

 

"I really have no clue houshi. I'm not familiar with these parts." She noticed that Miroku suddenly tensed. "What is it?"

 

"Demonic aura's. They're coming this way."

 

They both got into battle stances just as they saw wolves coming towards them. One of the wolf demons stepped forward and looked at them for a moment. Noting that the girl appeared to be a slayer, and the man was a Buddhist monk. "Miroku Houshi and Sango Tajiya?" The wolf questioned.

 

They both tensed. How did this demon know their names. Before Sango could speak, Miroku thought of something. "Are you one of Koga's clan?" Sango just looked at the monk, then back to the wolf.

 

He nodded. "Hai, we are searching for sister Kagome. Koga asked us to keep an eye out for you as well, but mainly to look for the miko. The dog hanyou said you disappeared into groups of two."

 

Sango blanched. "Kagome's alone?"

 

"No, the kitsune pup is with her, and the fire cat with the hanyou. He heads to the village in hopes of finding you and the miko there, though he doubts she'll make it there. The entirety of the clan searches for the miko."

 

Miroku sighed. "Then hopefully someone finds her before anything bad happens."

 

"We must continue our search, but since you aren't heading in the right direction, these two" he pointed at two demons "will lead you to the village then report to Koga about at least finding you."

 

"Gomen." Miroku said as he bowed respectively. Sango also did, and the two demons began leading them toward Kaede's village. They could only pray that Kagome would be alright.

 

**&**

 

Kagome slowly began to stir. She snuggled deeper into the warmth that surrounded her. Inhaling, she picked up the scent of smoke from a wild fire and pine. It was so intoxicating that she inhaled deeply, then a thought hit her. How can I smell this?

 

Slowly she opened her eyes to see Hiei next to her. The memory of what happened came back to her and she blushed bright red. His arm was wrapped around her torso, so she couldn't escape. Wait a second! She could see, and it was dark!

 

That's when she felt it. Her body was pulsing with power, immense power. How was that possible? She ran her hand through her hair, and found it to be extremely silky. That's when saw her hand. She bit her bottom lip to contain her scream. Ouch! She ran her tongue along her teeth and became queazy. Fangs. This was weird.

 

Slowly slipping from Hiei's embrace, she walked to her bag and grabbed it. For some reason, the bag was extremely light. She hurried away from the mouth of the cave since she had nothing on. Pulling out a mirror when reached the hot springs, she gasped.

 

Her skin now had a golden tint as the blue in her eyes were trimmed in silver. Looking down at her legs, she saw a dragon tattoo on the inside of her thigh. Oh gods, he marked me! Wait, he didn't do that.... I'll have to ask about it.

 

Next she noticed that her body seemed more fit, she practically looked like a demoness. Now she noticed that her hair had lengthened. It fell to rest upon the top of her butt, and her body filled out more! Her blue tints now made her hair seem metallic as her pink lips were puffed out a little farther. Wait! My lips are red now!

 

A marking suddenly started making itself known on her forehead. A black circle with a pink star appeared. Twin pink marking like Sesshomaru's purple ones appeared on each cheek. On her hip, a circle with four elements appeared. Water, air, earth, and fire. That's when her eyes turned pink, her power healing her wounded flesh rapidly.

 

When the glow subsided, her cheek markings disappeared. Now she was scared, but she wanted to get clean, so she grabbed her bathing supplies and dived into the spring. She washed thoroughly and grabbed her still too excessively light bag. Running to the room where she had slept with her demon, she dropped the bag and got onto the bed.

 

She wore a tank top and skirt but didn't care. She carefully shook Hiei awake. Tears were in her eyes as he opened his eyes to look at her. What he saw made him stop breathing for a moment. "Hiei, help me! I don't know what's happening. I woke up and found claws and fangs, then I went to bathe, and my bag was way too light, then my appearance changed and I have demon markings. My eyes glowed pink and healed my wounds then the pink stripes on my cheeks disappeared, I have this dragon tattoo on my upper thigh and no idea where it came from, my sense of smell and sight have enhanced, and I just don't know what's happening!"

 

The girl was getting hysterical. She threw herself at him and continued crying. "Calm down onna." She slowly calmed and looked up at him. Her eyes asked him 'What's happening to me?' "It appears that your full powers were awakened last night. I'm not sure if it was your power, or the dragon's mark that transformed you though."

 

"Dr-dragon's mark?" She questioned. That when she saw his right arm. A mighty black dragon was on it, and it was calling out to her. Hesitantly she stroked it and it seemed to purr. Hiei was shocked and taken aback at these actions. First she pets it, then it starts purring. "Is this what marked me?"

 

All he could do was nod. The jagan awoke and seemed attracted to her as well. "Why are you stroking the dragon?" He just had to know.

 

"It feels like it's calling out to me." Slowly, she looked up at him. "What does the dragon marking me mean?" He seemed to not believe she needed to ask, so she quickly explained. "I mean, is it like a mating mark, or simply a mark of protection?"

 

That stunned him. She knew about marks of protection, and that information normally stayed among demons only. "In a way, it is both." Seeing her slight confusion, he sighed and amended. "It shows that you are under the protection of the dragon, as I am it's master, you are under my protection. Though, the dragon will allow no one else to have you. That mark states that you are mine, but not fully mated to me."

 

Her eyes grew wide. She was, in a way, mated to an extremely powerful demon. One word came to mind. Fuck. She just knew that Inuyasha was going to kill her. Oh well, not like he wanted me anyways, he always ran off to his precious clay pot. She growled to herself at that.

 

Hiei could easily read her thoughts though. He was surprised to find that she wasn't mad about the sorta mating, she was just worried about what her friends would think. He began thinking about whether or not he would take the next step and place his mark on her. In other words claim her completely. Her question snapped him out of his thoughts though.

 

"So does this mean you're not going to kill me, or does it mean you'll kill me to get your mark off of me?"

 

"I won't kill you, yet." She shivered as his breath caressed the skin on her neck.

 

A thought suddenly came to her. "If, if I adopt Shippo by youkai law, then what?"

 

He was surprised at her question. "If I take the next step and mark you myself, he'd become my son. Why?"

 

She started twisting the bottom of her tank top in her hands. "I... I was going to ask him if he wanted to when he awoke."

 

"You can still do it."

 

She sighed before another thought caught her off guard. "What happens if I get pregnant?"

 

Ok, he hadn't thought of that. "I suppose we'll have a child then."

 

She sighed and leaned into him. Maybe he cared for her. What am I thinking, it'd take a miracle for someone to care for me.

 

"Why would it take a miracle?"

 

Dammit! I forgot he could read my mind. I really need to learn better shielding. She sighed. "I'm a worthless, ugly, and weak reincarnation. Who would want me?"

 

That had not been what he was expecting. "Who said this?"

 

"Inuyasha" came her mumbled response.

 

"The hanyou?" An affirmative nod. "Why listen to him when I can feel your power."

 

"He continually compared me to Kikyo, he always said I was terrible at things, and I used to not resonate power. I'm still weak though, I'm untrained."

 

Hiei sighed, she somewhat had a point. "I can help somewhat. Go see to your kit while I bathe." He stood up and Kagome's breath caught. She couldn't believe how magnificent he was. True she saw him in all his glory last night, but she didn't have the time to appreciate him. He smirked when he caught her practically gawking at him. He just couldn't help it, he had to tease her. He cleared his throat and she instantly looked at his face. Upon seeing his smirk she turned bright red, knowing that she'd been caught. "See something you like?"

 

**&**

 

They had been traveling at a fast pace for the last five hours, and the village was just now coming into view. They ran to Kaede's and found Inuyasha waiting there. "Feh, it's about time you two show up. We need to start looking for Kagome."

 

"Sorry to have kept you waiting Inuyasha." Miroku said in an annoyed tone.

 

That's when the dog hanyou noticed the two wolf demons. "Thank the flea-bag for finding them for me." They bowed and left. Kirara jumped into Sango's arms and meowed as Inuyasha turned back to the two. "Which direction did you come from?"

 

"Umm.... Northeast, why?"

 

"I came from the west. That means we need to look in the other directions. Naraku was trying to split us up, so we should try south."

 

Miroku and Sango's jaws both dropped. Then Miroku started laughing. "Wow Inuyasha. That's actually pretty smart."

 

"Keh!" He turned a little red. "Let's get going."

 

They set off toward the south, but ran into Koga about two hours later. He glanced at the monk and slayer. "Glad to see you made it back." He then turned to Inuyasha. "I'm traveling with you." Before the hanyou could yell, he continued on. "I want to know if she's found. My pack is also searching for her. If you find her, I'll know, and know to call off the search. If one of my pack finds her, you'll find out when I do."

 

"Whatever, just don't get in the way."

 

**&**

 

Kagome sighed as she changed Shippo's bandages. He still hadn't woken. It had been two days dammit! He should be awake by now. She looked down at her hands, before hitting herself in the head. I'm an idiot. He needs to gather energy and heal!

 

Praying that her new power will actually do as she commands it, she summoned her powers. A pink glow appeared on her hands. "Ok, this is purification." She concentrated harder and the glow turned blue. "Aha! Healing!" She placed her hands over her son and the blue glow spread over his body.

 

When the light died down, her son was completely healed. A huge smile appeared on her face. "Ok, and now for the collecting energy part." She called forth her power again. And again it was pink. She concentrated and it turned white. "Perfect, now I can wake him." She said to herself as she placed her hands over his chest.

 

**&**

 

Hiei was relaxing in the spring, thinking about whether or not he should simply mark the girl as his mate. A wave of power washed over him, and he realized it was the girl's. Curious about what she was doing, he dressed and quickly sped toward the mouth of the cave.

 

"Ok, this is purification." He watched as she closed her eyes and her hands turned blue. Aha! Healing!" The blue light of her hands enveloped the kit and when it disappeared, he was healed. "Ok, and now for the collecting energy part." Again her hands turned pink, again she closed her eyes and concentrated, but this time her hands turned white. "Perfect, now I can wake him." She placed both hands over his chest, and pushed in her energy.

 

"What are you doing?"

 

She jumped and turned around. When she saw it was Hiei, she smiled. "I have found the way to wake my kit!"

 

"Why did your hands glow white, and I thought you weren't trained?"

 

"Oh, I'm not. I listened to what Kaede said, but never really been able to do it. My hands turned white, because I was simply using energy. Neither healing or purifying, I needed to give him plain energy."

 

They both heard the quickened breathing, and turned to the boy. "Kagome?" He questioned as he groggily opened his eyes.

 

She was at his side in an instant, and bringing him into her lap. "How are you feeling sweetie?"

 

"I..." He trailed off as he sniffed and got a good look at her. "What happened to you? Why do you smell like a demon?"

 

Kagome grinned sheepishly and looked over at Hiei. Shippo looked over at him too. For once, the fire demon was not glaring. He was simply stoic. "This is Hiei, and umm.... Well you see..." Blushing madly, she simply couldn't find the right words. Hiei smirked at her.

 

Shippo sniffed her again though, then sniffed the air and turned rigid. "Is he your mate now mamma?" Kagome looked at him stunned, and when he realized what he said, he blanched. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to... It just slipped out!" He cried frantically.

 

She put her finger to his lips, effectively shushing him. "He is in a way my mate, but it's not exactly a mating. And there is no way I'm attempting to explain it." She giggled. Shippo was still extremely nervous. "And I've been thinking. You were out for two days and it made me think." He looked up at her in an almost panic. Hiei smirked at the nervousness and panic he felt coming off the kit. The onna was torturing him. "I want to adopt you by youkai law, so I wanna know. Do you want to be my son?"

 

Everything seemed to go still for a few minutes before an extremely loud squeal came. Shippo flung himself at Kagome so hard, he knocked her over. "YES!" He looked over at Hiei and asked quietly "does that mean you're going to be my daddy?"

 

Kagome started coughing to cover up her laugh. Hiei glared at her. "We'll see kit."

 

Shippo smiled at that and Kagome looked at him. "I thought you hated being called anything but your name?"

 

"No, I hate being called names that are demeaning, like runt. I am a kit, and it's how foxes tend to address their own. Other demons do it too."

 

"When do you wanna do the adoption/bonding?"

 

"Wanna do it now momma?"

 

"Sure" she nodded. Holding out her hand, Shippo used his little claws to slice the palm, then did the same thing to his own palm. Clasping their hands together, their blood started to mingle. Their energies also began mixing. Kagome had some of Shippo's scent on her, and he had some of hers.

 

Apparently the power he gained from her, pushed up his level quite a bit. Four more tails sprouted, his ears changed to on top of his head, and his aura grew stronger. When the transformation was done, Kagome couldn't help but squeal. "Oh my god! You have five tails!"

 

Shippo smiled and flicked an ear. He now looked to be about ten years old. When he saw the gleam in Kagome's eyes he took off through the cave with her right behind him. Hiei raised an eyebrow at this behavior. The kit ran behind him next. "Keep her away!" He squealed playfully.

 

A predatory gleam appeared in the fire demon's eyes as Kagome came towards them. She stopped upon seeing his look. Squealing, she took off toward the back. "This'll be fun." The fire demon remarked as he took off after her.

 

Shippo shook his head at them. He could tell the demon was in his heat cycle. He'd ask his new mother how this all happened later. For now, he was raiding her book-bag to find candy and coloring books.

 

**&**

 

The shard hunting group minus their two missing members, plus Koga slept in a clearing toward the south. It'd be a few days before they'd make it down there. Inuyasha was keeping watch when a familiar scent caught his nose. It was Kikyo, except the scent of death and graveyard soil was no longer there.

 

He dashed off toward the scent and found her in all her naked glory. She stood there before him with her arms outstretched. "Inuyasha..." She breathed as he walked closer.

 

"But... How?"

 

"The kami have seen fit to revive me."

 

"Does that mean Kagome is dead?" He didn't really want to know the answer.

 

"I am not sure. A soul was given to me, but not my own. Though I believe she is, I can not be sure."

 

Upset about the fact Kagome was more than likely dead, he kissed Kikyo. Taking out all his frustrations on her body. His clothes seemed to melt away as he continued kissing her. Laying her down , his slid his body down hers. Kissing as he went.

 

After flipping her onto her knees, he rammed into her. She cried out in pain, but he kept going. As soon as he reached his release, he bit down at the juncture of her neck and shoulder. She was no his, his mate. "Mine!" He growled as she collapsed beneath him.

 

**&**

 

Hiei was watching as Kagome slowly awoke. He was still trying to figure out whether or not he should put his mark on her. She smiled up at him when she caught his stare, though her cheeks still tinted red. "Morning... Or is it still night?"

 

He chuckled at her question. Nuzzling her neck, he whispered to her "it's just before dawn." She nodded, but suddenly went rigid. Biting into her lips so she wouldn't scream, tears came to her eyes. Hiei noticed immediately. Get Shippo!

 

He nodded and went to fetch the kit. They returned about five minutes later, and the kit rushed to her side. Noting the blueish glow that began radiating from her body he tensed and turned grim. Grabbing her hand her brought it to his face to nuzzle. "It's ok mamma. Just call it back to yourself, don't let her take it."

 

Hiei also looked grim. "Who is taking what?"

Just so you know, I don't really like Kikyo. She's going to be evil in this fic, but I may return her to good. Tell me your thought on the subject!
