Shippo was sitting outside of Kaede’s hut playing with his marbles when Sango and Miroku arrived.
“Hey you’re finally back! I was beginning to get...Kagome! Oh no, what happened to her?”
“Lady Kagome fainted after she purified Naraku and the sacred jewel. I think she will be ok, she just needs some rest Shippo.” Miroku told him as he picked up Kagome from Kirara’s back.
Shippo nodded to Miroku and went to tell Kaede that they were back. Sango and Miroku carried the unconscious miko inside the hut to rest.
“I see ye are back. How did ye fair?” The older priestess asked as they entered the hut.
“Kaede, the evil has finally been rid of.” Sango said and then began to explain all that had happened up until they arrived at her hut.
“Hmm, and what be of Inuyasha and my dead sister?”
“They both should be alright. Kagome healed the worst of Kikyo’s wounds when we were there. But that stupid idiot is lucky that I didn’t kill him where he stood! I can’t believe the nerve of him! Here she is risking her life to save us all, and the first thing he does is run to Kikyo, not even making sure Kagome is ok!”
“Ah, I think that he is still foolishly in love with the dead. He truly doesn’t realize that the one he looks upon is not the same person.”
Kagome began to stir, and slowly awakened. When she opened her eyes she was met with a small brown face with huge green eyes staring down at her. ‘Shippo’. She smiled as her eyes focused on the creature in front of her.
“MAMA! You’re awake now! I’m so happy!” the kit said as he threw his arms around her.
“I am happy to see you too sweetie.” She answered him, rubbing circles on his back.
“Kagome!” Sango shouted and ran across the hut to be at her side.
“Lady Kagome, we knew you would come around.” Miroku said as he sat graciously at the foot of her futon.
“Did I pass out” she smiled at everyone, glad that they were all doing well. After sitting up she reached inside her pocket and pulled out the completed Shikon no Tama.
“Will ye wish upon it my child?” Kaede asked as she stirred the stew she had been brewing.
After a moment of silently thinking, Kagome answered the elder miko.
“I don’t think so. It’s true that if an unselfish wish is made it will disappear, however after a lot of time to think about a wish, I’ve come to realize that there is no such thing as an unselfish wish. Every wish could be tainted.”
“Ye are indeed wise, young Kagome. I am glad that ye are its protector.”
“I do need your help though,” she said and then looked each person in the hut, “all of you. I am not going to wish upon it, but I know that as long as it exists there will always be evil trying to corrupt it. If I wear it around my neck, it can be taken off my body. If I leave it in a safe place, it could be found and stolen. So I’ve decided to put the jewel back into my body. I’ve chosen to become one with the jewel again.”
Everyone was fairly shocked with her decision, and was curious as to why she would choose such a thing.
“Kagome, I know that it is your decision, I love you like my own sister, so I will tell you that if you think that is the best solution, then I support you. But how will this effect you?” the slayer commented a bit worried.
“I agree with Sango, but Kagome, how could such a thing even happen?” Miroku asked with concern and curiosity.
“Well it came out of me after all. It was safe when it was that way even though I had no idea it existed at the time. Besides, it’s safer within me. I know how to do it, but I will need some assistance. I wont be harmed or anything. I was its host once before. And this time around, I can defend myself.”
This was undeniably true. Kagome had been there in the Feudal Era defending her life for 6 years now. She trained with Sango in hand-to-hand combat and weaponry usage. Although her personal weapon of choice was a bow, it was closely followed by Sai blades. She had become pretty much a weapons master as time went by. She also trained with Kaede and Miroku so she could control her reiki, and now had extreme control of her powers and stunned everyone with just how formidable she had become. Indeed, she had become quite the warrior even without a weapon. She could form her energy in her hands and use random objects to put her energy into, making them into melee weapons.
With her new skills came her change in physique. With all of the training and years passed by, she was no longer a scrawny teenager, but a full grown woman who’s body was built like a weapon. Her hair became wavier, and a darker shade of midnight. Her face trimmed down and lost its baby fat, and made her full, pouty lips to stand out more. Somehow with the advancement of her reiki, her eyes went from their light brown to a beautiful shade of light hazel that changed with her moods. They would remain her hazel shade normally, but when happy they turned a bright shade of green and when she was angry they would turn into a bright blue due to her reiki’s influence.
Her breasts filled out to a size that was over a C, but not quite a D and her hips spread out wide and perfectly led the way to her thick muscular thighs and well rounded backside. Her waist was slim and her body was toned. All in all, she was a man’s wet dream. Few had dared to ask for her hand, but she turned them all down with as much politeness as she could. She just wasn’t interested, even if her now adult body craved some very adult things nowadays. Oh yes, she had those urges, but had still denied herself the act of love. She was waiting for that hard headed hanyo to claim her, and would wait as long as it took.
“Why don’t ye get some rest my child. We can do this when ye are fully at peace with yourself.” Kaede gently suggested.
“No, I need to do this now. I can’t explain why, but something is pulling for me to do this now. I can’t wait until later.” Kagome was a firm believer in instincts, and hers had never proven her wrong yet so she wasn’t about to doubt them.
“Mama, I’m scared. Will you be ok?”
“I will be fine little man. Don’t worry, it’s not a scary thing at all.”
“What do you want us to do Kagome?” Sango and Miroku both looked to her for directions.
“You could place a barrier around the hut. This can’t be interrupted at all, or it won’t work.”
“Ok, we will not fail you, sister.” Sango replied with determination to do whatever she could to aid her.
Kagome explained to Kaede the chant that she had to do with her and laid herself back down upon the futon with the Shikon no Tama folded into her hands to rest directly above her heart on her chest. As Miroku erected the barrier, Sango kept her eyes pealed for anyone who would disturb them. Shippo just stared at the old miko woman and his adopted mother as they were chanting something. They were barely audible even with his demon hearing. Soon after they started to chant, Kagome began to glow a light pink and a lavender mist began to shroud her body. The young priestess began to feel the jewel pulse in her hands and a tingling sensation was filling her body from head to toe. She suddenly began to feel the solid ball move through her palms and into her chest cavity. She felt it pulse right next to her heart and she suddenly she felt like there was fire within her veins. Her blood was boiling up and it felt like lava was flooding throughout her.
Gritting her teeth against the pain she tried to concentrate in her meditative state.
‘I don’t remember the scrolls mentioning this kind of pain as a reaction. Then again it wasn’t really talking about hiding a sacred freakin’ jewel within a body. The principle holds though, and apparently it worked, but this hurts so bad! Why does it feel like a volcano erupted inside me?’
A soft, light voice called out to Kagome then, answering the question that she had asked herself in the depths of her mind.
“Because there is a powerful change happening to your body, young miko.”
Startled by the sudden voice in her head that definitely was not hers, she thought, ‘Who’s that!? Who’s talking to me? Am I losing it?’
A light chuckle could be heard before the voice responded to her question. “No, you are perfectly sane child. I am Midoriko. I live within the Shikon. You were correct in your assumptions about not wishing anything on this jewel. You, brave girl, have sacrificed so much with courage and bravery that I have come to personally tell you of the change that your body is currently undergoing.”
Stunned by the gained knowledge that the legendary priestess Midoriko was in her head, she tried to focus on her presence, hoping to maybe get a vision of her. A lily field suddenly appeared in Kagome’s mind along with a warrior priestess in its center, smiling and walking towards Kagome. ‘Midoriko… it’s truly an honor to meet you. I’m flattered that you would say those things about me, but I only did what many others would if they were in my position. I don’t think that I’m that great because of it. I wish I were more like you, actually. What exactly is this change you’re talking about?’
“Child, you are not aware of how much like me you really are. To be very blunt, you are twice as strong as I was in life, and you are about to become so much stronger. You do not want the things that are about to be given to you, but that is why it must be you to have them. Kagome, you were trying to merely place the Shikon back into your body, but what is really happening is that the sacred jewel is merging with your body. It is becoming one with your very essence. The amount of reiki that you currently hold, and are about to inherit are awakening you.”
‘Well, that explains all the burning...’ she thought wryly to herself. ‘What exactly has been awakened, if it’s ok to ask?’
“Your true potential. There are four aspects of every priestess’ purification powers. There is the power to heal wounds of all kinds, create and maintain barriers, use reiki to enhance battle prowess, and the ability to connect with others. No priestess has ever been able to harness all of them. They make due with one or two because they simply cannot attain the others. The powers that you currently posses under control are the ability to fight with reiki, and the ability to create barriers. The jewel is awakening your dormant abilities and is essentially giving you all of its power.
“Kagome, it has chosen you as its eternal protector. Seeing as you are now a human and are susceptible to time, it became essential to change you. You would understand it as modifying your genetics. You are still human, but you will now harbor several demonic characteristics. As a result, age will never be an issue for you. As you are now, you will be until forever. Your awareness and impulses will also be heightened to a new level, and your reiki will always respond to your will. Do not be deceived however. Although your years have been expanded, you are not invincible.
“If you ever have a need, I will be here. Just call upon my name and I will answer you. After all, I reside within the Shikon, which now resides in you.”
‘That is really a lot to take in.’ Kagome said, slowly coming to grips with what she was being handed. ‘So, how long will all of this take to happen? I mean, how long will this pain last?’ she decided to ask before Midoriko went silent and she awoke from her daze.
“Worry not, Kagome. The pain will subside shortly, but the true extent of your powers will not be accessible to you for a time. For about a week you will be unable to access any of your powers, as they will need time to bind to your newly awakened abilities. You are going to be vulnerable until this change takes place, but only for a short time. You must take great caution until it is complete, for until that time you are still bound by all human frailties without the benefit of even your reiki.”
‘I understand. I think its time for me to wake up now. I can feel everyone becoming worried. Thank you, Midoriko.’
“No, thank you, Kagome.”
The fire that coursed through her veins was slowly quenched and the light began to fade around her. When it vanished completely, she was left lying down on the futon and didn’t move. Shippo called for Sango and Miroku to come back inside cause he thought she was hurt.
“Kagome, are ye alright?”
She heard Kaede’s voice and began to open her eyes. After blinking a few times, she sat up and smiled at everyone who was crowded around her.
“So who died?” She giggled as they all hugged her.
“So it seems that this was a success child. I am glad. How are ye feeling Kagome?”
“I feel alright, just weak.”
She did feel good though, despite her circumstance. She was completely energized mentally and with everything she just learned, she was ready to take on whatever the future threw at her. It was then that noticed that someone was missing from their group.
“Where is Inuyasha?”
Sango tried to suppress her anger while Miroku answered the question.
“He stayed behind with Kikyo. He should be here soon however.”
Nodding her head at his response, she said, “She was hurt. I saw him holding her before I passed out. Its ok, don’t be mad at him. He already told me that he was going to let her go after we defeated Naraku. He also told me that she was going to let all of her souls go when he was defeated. I imagine they had a few things to talk about before she leaves this realm. I am ok with it, really I am.” She said with a confidence that she didn’t necessarily feel.
Beginning to bristle at her memory of what last happened in the castle, Sango bit out, “Kagome, I can understand that, but this is not okay! You risked everything and when it was finished he didn’t even check to see you were ok before he ran to that…that…”
“Sango, my sweet, please just relax. I know how you feel, but we must not rile up Kagome while she has already had such an ordeal today.” Miroku tried to calm her by pulling her into his embrace.
“I’m ok, guys, really. Thank you for being here for me. It means the world to me.” She told them with a half smile. Half filled with gratefulness they were there and half filled with sadness because the one person she wanted to see was not there. Though it confused her that she was not so upset with the knowledge that he clearly picked Kikyo’s health over hers in the blink of an eye.
“Kagome, ye are a sweet child. I do now know what the future holds for you, but I am certain that whoever ends up lucky enough to have you will be a blessed man indeed.” The old priestess said as she got up and began to prepare a meal for everyone in the hut.
“He would probably have to be a battle hardened warrior just to combat her already stubborn nature. She would chew him up and spit him out otherwise.” Sango said while laughing at the phrase from the future that Kagome had taught her.
Taking a seat beside her, Shippo said, “Mama, you trust people too much. You are so nice that I bet you could turn the meanest, and grumpiest person on Earth into someone great!”
“You are too sweet little man.” She reached out to her little kit and gave him a hug. Well, he was not as little as he once was. He grew a lot throughout the years and is now around 15 years old. According to demons, he was already about to become an adult. He was also due for another growth spurt soon. Kitsune demons tended to have growth spurts every four years until they were mature adults and then would stop growing. At the moment he was almost at her shoulder, but when he grows next he will most likely be her size or taller. Ah, how time flew she thought.
Looking down at her blood soaked and tattered clothing, she decided that a bath was the first thing in order. Looking over to Sango who had seen her take perusal of herself she smiled with the unspoken question asked. Shaking her head and smiling at her, Sango walked to her and helped her to her feet.
“Yes, a trip to the springs would be good. For all of us in fact. But you WILL wait your turn Miroku! If I find you peeking, you don’t want to even know how long I will make you wait for the wedding. More specifically the night.” Sango said with narrowed eyes to the now mortified looking monk.
“Sango, my dear, you wound me. I, proper houshi Miroku, would do no such thing to spoil our wedding ni-ahrm, I mean, the beauty of our marriage.” He said attempting to look as innocent as possible.
With an uncommitted grunt, Sango grabbed some clean clothing from her pack. Kagome had gotten them all large gym bags from her time a few years back and it allowed them to have multiple pairs of clothing each. Kagome grabbed a pair of pajamas from her trusty old yellow pack as well as her bathing supplies before she looped her arm around Sango’s and left to the hot springs. Shippo’s voice could be heard as they walked away grumbling about his sore back, arms and legs to Miroku, who told him that he would probably go through another growth soon. Both women laughed as they heard Shippo’s last comment about being big enough to attack him if he caught either him or Inuyasha peeping at the girls.
Sango and Kagome were silent as they soaked in the springs, just going over the events of the day. Looking over to Sango, Kagome smiled and began one of their private girl conversations.
“So, how’s it feel to know that soon you will be getting groped on the daily.” She said while wiggling her eyebrows at her now blushing sister-friend.
“Kagome! You have been around Miroku for way too long!” she said laughing and splashed water over to her. “But, to be honest, I’m so happy, and exited and, well, nervous. I know that he has…experience…with women, so I’m kind of afraid that, I don’t know, that he will…not enjoy me as much as I will him.” She finished with eyes shining with unshed tears.
“No, don’t ever think things like that!” Kagome said and gave Sango a hard hug. “He loves you Sango, so much, you can see it in his eyes. Hell, you can feel it in his hand! He hasn’t even tried his usual womanizing tricks on anyone but you in the last three years, so that has to mean something. Right?” she reassured her and wiped the few drops of tears from her eyes.
“Thank you, Kagome. You always know what to say to make me feel better.” The slayer said with a smile. “But this is only the beginning of your issues, sister. Now that Naraku has been defeated, what excuse are you going to give out to those who are always asking for your hand in marriage?” Sango glared maliciously with a grin towards Kagome. It was time for her to be embarrassed now, she thought to herself.
“W-well, I don’t know what you are talking about! Besides, I’m not being asked by anyone right now, so I don’t have to worry about that!”
“Mmmhmm, just keep telling yourself that sis. Maybe you will even begin to believe it. Kouga is bound to come along again now that Naraku has been taken care of. He’s a wolf, and they may take only one mate, but they do believe in concubines. Ayame would be ok with it as well cause it’s normal to their breed.”
“Oh dear Kami! I thought as soon as he mated Ayame that he would leave me alone!” Kagome said, eyes as wide as an owl.
“Not so, and you forget about all of those village men who have been after you since you turned eighteen.” The slayer said, internally laughing at the frantic look on Kagome’s face.
“Damn it! It’s just that after all that I’ve seen and been through, I can’t imagine a life with just a normal man. I can’t even imagine it with a human anymore. They are just so…so…plain! I mean, it doesn’t even matter what time I am at, they are all the same. This sucks so bad, I mean, I can’t even say that I’m taken cause Inuyasha still hasn’t even officially asked me yet! He hasn’t told me anything really…” And just as she was going to continue an irritated Sango interrupted her.
“Sis, I am sorry, but I know that you still do love Inuyasha, but he has yet to even show signs of being a mature youkai. No signs that he is even ready to take a mate, unless you call sneaking off at night to see you know who as a sign. Kagome, I know that you know where he goes, and who he’s with. You deserve so much better!”
Seeing the downcast look in her best friends eyes, she decided to drop that part of the conversation in favor of another.
“Besides, I saw something very interesting today during the battle.” Sango said trying to catch Kagome’s attention. She was rewarded by the miko picking her head up and turning towards her in curiosity. Smirking, she said her next words slowly and deliberately, making sure she got a rise out of her sulking friend.
“Remember when that demon broke your bow and you started using your Sai to fight? Well, Lord Sesshomaru saw you too, and well, he was checking you out.”
“WHAT!!” she cried out in bewilderment as her sister-friend laughed until tears leaked from her eyes. “He would never! Don’t get me wrong, I mean, I have done my fair share of ogling him, just like every other female with eyes, but him ogle me? I think that you might have been hit in the head to many times today sis.”
They finished up their bath talking nonsense and laughing about how Hell would freeze over if the mighty Lord Sesshomaru ever looked at a human with lust.
