The Black Dog

"Tsuki and the Change"

Chapter Three

As promised, Totosai completed the sword in five days. Sesshomaru, Rin, and Kagome had been resting by the fire when the old youkai hollered from inside the cave. �I did it,� he shouted. �I did it!� The miko glanced his direction but didn�t move. Over the past few days, Kagome discovered Lord Sesshomaru to be gentle. Despite previous actions, he petted her, spoke with her, and treated her like a person. Somehow she had formed a crush on the tai-youkai. She never put her infatuation into action. Kagome reasoned that her new found affection was because Sesshomaru was the only person who understood her. Never in a million years would the lord share her feelings, but the miko took what she could get and at this moment, her large head lay comfortably on his lap.
Footsteps thudded against the stone floor. Totosai appeared holding a traditional samurai sword over his head. Its blade glowed against the fire creating a blinding white light. Kagome and Rin turned their eyes away immediately. Sesshomaru rubbed the miko�s ear to comfort her but stood. The miko whined like a pup which received a giggle from Rin and a scowl from the Ice Prince. �Let this Sesshomaru see.� The old youkai lowered the weapon and handed it to his lord like commanded. The tai-youkai�s golden eyes surveyed his fang compulsively. The sword�s blade looked unlike any metal. Its new shine reflected everything around it. Totosai had engraved the lord�s status near the hilt of sword depicting moons and dogs. Sesshomaru balanced the blade in his hands to find it perfect.
�I believe it to be one of my best,� Totosai declared. �I have named it Tsuki.� The lord nodded and admired the sword�s hilt. Over the blade, the old youkai had wrapped black and deep violet leather. Tsuki represented the western inu clan in every sense. No one would deny Kagome�s position as a member of his pack. �You have decorated the sword as if the miko belongs to me,� Sesshomaru stated. Totosai nodded.
Kagome�s ears perked up at the conversation. Was Sesshomaru claiming her as pack? Images of Sesshomaru pushing and growling at her came to mind. No, Totosai created Tsuki�s image based on the lord�s fang. It was only right the black smith forge the tai-youkai�s fang and depict it as a western treasure. The miko rose to her paws and joined the men. She barked thank you to the old smith which Sesshomaru translated. �Oh, you�re welcome Kagome. Please try on your sword. We would like to see its capabilities.�
Sesshomaru placed Tsuki on the ground in front of her. Kagome didn�t know how she was supposed to pick it up. Noticing her confusion, the lord instructed her to place it in her mouth. The miko lowered her snout and grabbed hold of the blade between her jaws. A bright blue light consumed her instantly. Kagome could feel her limbs stretch and fur disappear. Her long snout shrunk back into a human nose while her tail disappeared. Within moments, Kagome stood naked with Tsuki still in her mouth. Rin squealed in excitement. �You�re back Kagome-sama!�
The miko reached for the sword and pulled it out of her mouth. She had thought Tsuki�s weight might hurt her after the transformation but it didn�t. �Thank you,� Kagome whispered. Sesshomaru removed his fluffy, white pelt and placed it around her shoulders. The miko looked at him smiling. �I never thought I�d be human again.� Totosai chuckled. �Well, you aren�t quite. Without the sword, you�ll turn back into your canine form and I can see that being a dog has changed you slightly.� Kagome gave the old demon an odd look making him laugh. �Just go look for yourself.�
The canine-like miko strolled past the men and went towards the bubbling pool. Rin followed her giggling. As she reached the water�s edge, she saw her dog form in the reflection; its large brown eyes wide and tail wagging. Kagome thought she looked like a black lab mixed with wolf. A sigh escaped her lips. For the rest of her life she wasn�t going to be able to look in a mirror without seeing a dog. How in hell was she going to explain this to her mother? Shopping, school, and home were filled with mirrors. Hell, she wasn�t going to be able to go swimming without reflecting an abnormally large dog. �You have a puppy reflection,� Rin stated. �Yep,� was all Kagome could muster.
Sesshomaru and Totosai followed the girls to the pool soon after. �What do you think,� the black smith laughed. �I believe you to be quite beautiful.� Kagome shook her head and pointed to the water�s surface. �I believe that tables have turned.� Totosai and the western lord peered over her shoulder to see a dog staring back at them. �Oh,� the old youkai said. �Well, isn�t that strange.�
The four stood in silence until Kagome asked, �Can anyone tell me what I look like? I mean, do I look normal? If I went back to live with humans would they notice anything strange about my appearance?� Rin was the only one to speak up. �You look pretty Kagome-sama! You look like a princess!� The miko sighed and looked to Sesshomaru for answers. �Miko, you look the same except more primitive. Your hair is blacker, skin tanner, and your eyes are wilder.� Kagome smiled broadly showing pristine, white teeth. �Thanks Sesshomaru!�
�Well, I believe my work is done here,� Totosai exclaimed. �Let me retrieve Tsuki�s sheath.� The old youkai left the group quickly. Rin grabbed Kagome�s vacant hand and squeezed. �Rin�s happy you�re back Kagome-sama! Shippou will be really happy!� The miko returned her squeeze and smiled. �Yes, I bet Shippou and the gang are worried sick.�
Sesshomaru watched the display stoically. Being a dog for days had made the miko become more attractive. There were no drastic physical changes just little things. The way the woman stood, her scent, and the way her eyes shifted. It was as if she was a dog in a human body, and possibly, this was the case. When he saw the black beast staring at him from the pool, he knew the miko would never be the same. The sword would work like Tetsaiga and like most fangs; she would need to be trained. The lord pondered pawning her back off to the half-breed. It took only a moment to squander that idea. Inuyasha hardly knew how to use their father�s sword let alone teach this woman.
Totosai joined the group once more juggling Tsuki�s sheath. �Here you are Miko Kagome,� he smiled as he handed her the remaining piece of the puzzle. �Carry this with you at all times unless you want to revert back to your canine form. As long as the sword is attached to your person, you should appear human.� The miko nodded in understanding. �Tsuki is a weapon too. I have made her to harness your holy powers and inner beast. Through training, you�ll be able use the Shikon no Tama�s curse to your advantage.� Kagome nodded once more. �Lord Sesshomaru, are you to train the miko?� Three pairs of eyes shifted towards the tai-youkai in blatant curiosity. �Yes.�
�You may remain as my guests until your basic training is complete,� Totosai continued smiling. �I know you wouldn�t want another defenseless human within your pack while traveling.� Sesshomaru released an unsubtle growl wounding Kagome. Every time the miko felt she had somewhat won the lord�s favor, she was let down. At least the high and mighty Sesshomaru agreed to train her, which was another step in the right direction.
�Can Rin become a warrior like Kagome-sama,� Rin asked. One could always count on the child to ignore the lord�s angry and yet powerful gestures. The tai-youkai stared at the child and coldly replied, �No.� Rin�s smile didn�t disappear however. She took Sesshomaru�s commands with ease. Kagome wished she could be that pleasant and unafraid. Training with the high lord would be difficult and unrelenting. More than anything, she wanted to prove herself as a human like she had as a dog.
�We will begin training now Miko,� Sesshomaru commanded. �Leave us.� Kagome turned to see Totosai and Rin both obey. Their small figures disappeared amongst the flames. This was the first time they had actually been left alone together. They carried conversations, slept reasonably close to one another, but Rin had always been present. This small detail brought a delicate smile to her face, which was quickly erased when the ice prince knocked her off her feet. He hadn�t even given her a moment to acknowledge they were engaging in battle.
Kagome leapt from the stone floor like an animal and snarled. She held fast to her sword pointing the new weapon directly at Sesshomaru�s chest. He kept his normal stoic expression standing impossibly still. The miko charged at him full force, her blade shined like liquid fire. The inu-youkai gracefully leapt aside dodging her attack. Kagome�s feet continued to slide on the polished floor making her lose control of her stance. She looked like a dog wearing roller skates. Sesshomaru waited till she came to a stop before he wrapped his poisonous claws around her neck and lifted her from the floor. The woman�s eyes bore at him with unprecedented fury. Before Sesshomaru could react, Kagome dropped her sword transforming back into a dog. The prince released her in surprise.
�We are here to train you with the sword Miko,� he stated. �Do not play games with this Sesshomaru.� The black beast nodded its large head and trotted to the sword. She picked up Tsuki once more in her jaws and changed to her human form. Sesshomaru stared down at her naked body now glistening with sweat. The sight of the strange miko was hypnotizing. Kagome no longer resembled a human. She had familiar features but the movements and air about her declared something else. The miko would live a double life for eternity never belonging to any specific group. It was imperative that the female learn the ways of Tsuki, she would be hunted.
When Kagome finally took a stance, the inu lord inwardly sighed. Her form ranked below average. Tsuki titled downwards below her knees. Any demon or human could knock his fang out of her hands in a single move. He walked towards her and took stand behind her bare form. �Your sword must be held high to deflect every blow.� He grasped her arm and pulled her upwards to the left. The miko nodded and held the position. �Your knees need to bend for movement.� Kagome followed orders not swaying her sword. Sesshomaru released her arm and took a step back. He analyzed her toned body and approved. The miko held her position with steadiness. Sesshomaru left her back and moved to his original position. �Miko, you will attempt to hit this Sesshomaru.� She nodded and ran towards the prince swiftly only to be knocked on her ass once more. Kagome picked herself up and attempted again.
For hours, the miko lashed her sword at Sesshomaru only to be thrown to the floor. No matter what plan or game she conjured, she lost. Frustrating wouldn�t begin to describe her feelings. The lord�s speed compared to a cheetah. She�d come after to him on the left or right, he�d dodge. She�d jump high in the air, he�d jump higher. Kagome began to believe catching Sesshomaru off guard impossible. How did Inuyasha manage to sever the Ice Prince�s arm? The miko prayed she�d never be on his bad side. Naraku had been a damn fool.
Sesshomaru gave her a stern glance before her next attack. A soft shuffling noise echoed in the cave. Rin appeared with a tray with two cups and a pitcher. Kagome could hear her humming some make-believe tune. The inu-youkai turned his back and eyed the small girl carefully. She gave them a wide, toothy smile and placed the tray on the floor. �Totosai-sama says it�s late and Kagome-sama must be thirsty!� Sesshomaru gave her a slight nod which brightened her face. �Can Rin stay and watch Sesshomaru-sama and Kagome-sama?� The miko looked outside of the cave to see the moon high. Totosai�s fires served as their own sun. Time flew by. The small child probably sat idle for hours trying not to disturb them. Before Sesshomaru could utter a word, Kagome nodded. �Thank you Kagome-sama! Rin will be quiet!�
�We are done today. This Sesshomaru will hunt.� He took a few steps towards the entrance and was stopped by the miko. Her canine-like eyes looked softly at him. �Thank you Sesshomaru for today.� He stared down at her silently. Kagome gave a small smile. �May I join you for the hunt? I know the mountain is steep but I�d enjoy hunting with you.� The lord remained silent and continued walking. He didn�t say no, which she took as a yes. Kagome looked back at Rin and waved. �I�ll be right back Rin. I�m going to hunt with Sesshomaru. We�ll be back before you know it!� The girl nodded her head vigorously and skipped further inside the cave leaving the drinks behind.
The edge of the mountain looked like the end of the world. Its marvelous slick stone dropped hundreds of yards into the forest. One false move would be the plummet to anyone�s death. Even as human, Kagome couldn�t climb down. Sesshomaru wrapped an arm around her waist and summoned his pale, violet cloud. It formed beneath them magically and descended slowly. The miko figured it moved delicately not to scare game. When they landed, Kagome looked around the trees and discovered a perfect hiding place for Tsuki. A large maple covered in leaves lay rooted a few feet away. She jogged to the tree and climbed the branches with ease. Carefully, she unhooked Tsuki from her naked waist and rested it against the wood. As a dog, she could leap up and snag it. The moment her fang left her body, she transformed.
Sesshomaru watched the miko transform once more. He was curious if she realized that she had been battling without his pelt. Being a canine for so long created a void for modesty. He believed she thought herself a beast at times hidden beneath fur. The tai-youkai didn�t mind her nudity. He had come to appreciate and even admire her human form. The way her breasts moved as she tried to slash him, her toned legs flexing every step she took, and the labored breaths escaping her chest causing her flat stomach to wave�. Each movement she made hypnotized him. Had he not known she was a human, he would have thought her to be youkai.
Kagome shook her fur and trotted towards the inu-youkai. His eyes bore down at her until she sat at his side. Her pink tongue hung from her mouth as she waited for his direction. Sesshomaru stood still for a minute before he caught scent of something. Kagome stuck her nose high in the air and picked up the same salty scent. The demon lord�s slow pace quickened when rustling of a bush reached their ears. The canine miko followed suit and ran against the breeze. She followed Sesshomaru�s heels for a few minutes before she lost him. The movements ceased and a high pitch wail echoed through the forest. Kagome slowed her pace. Her services weren�t needed. She continued to deeply inhale the forest air and picked up the fresh scent of blood. Her four padded paws carried her to where Sesshomaru and the beast lay.
As she reached her destination, she heard a faint sound. Kagome could see the top of Sesshomaru�s white hair above the bushes but the noise came from the right at a distance. She couldn�t tell if he noticed. The western prince seemed engulfed in his slaughter. Kagome decided to investigate. Her legs cantered through the woods silently. The further she ran, the louder it became: swish, swish, swish. A nauseating stench invaded her nostrils soon after. She stopped her speed and saw an outline of a person in the distance. It held what looked to be a machete in its hand dragging in against the forest floor. It�d drop the knife, drag it, and then pick it up. Kagome lowered her form to the floor and crouched. Her chocolate eyes not missing a single movement of the being. Foot by foot, it came closer.
Soft thuds came behind her and with a familiar scent. Sesshomaru was coming. An eerie feeling fluttered in her stomach. Something wasn�t right about this person and for some reason; she didn�t want the inu lord to be discovered by him. She scooted her body backwards trying to be invisible. Kagome covered about ten feet before she hit rock. The thump wasn�t missed. The being came out of its repetitive movements and ran. Its machete rose over the being�s head and its awkward legs tore through the forestry. The miko jumped and darted towards the mountain. Her adrenaline pumped her legs at an unprecedented speed. She needed Tsuki.
Sesshomaru heard the disturbance before it began. He smelled Kagome and then a rotting scent. It polluted every inch of the air. He left his kill on the ground and looked for her. The western lord took only a few steps before the miko sped past him. A grumbling roar followed her. The scent belonged to an unknown, mutated youkai. It didn�t notice him hidden in the shadows of the forest. All its attention focused on the miko. Sesshomaru ran from behind the trees and chased the creature. Despite its odd limp, the demon was quick. The tai-youkai could see Kagome almost near the maple. With a fierce growl, the prince doubled his speed and caught the beast by its neck. It roared a shrill cry causing Sesshomaru to drop him. The ugly youkai turned its face towards him making the lord�s eyes squint. Never in his hundreds of years had he seen such a repulsive being. Its skin was yellow and waxy. Blood shot, swollen eyes bore at him in insatiable hunger. The creature�s teeth were like decaying pins pinching its mouth. Mucus like drool dripped down its lips while a serpent-like tongue licked its lips. Sesshomaru wanted nothing more than to decapitate it.
The creature lunged its weapon at the inu-youkai and missed. Sesshomaru gained his composure bringing out his acid whip. The machete rose high in the air once more only to be thrown to the ground by the prince�s green extension. Another roar erupted. The price stumbled back trying not to cover his ears. Seeing him back away, the creature attempted to strike him again but stopped mid thrust. A pointed blade tore through its torso. Sesshomaru watched the beast fall onto his knees gurgling its spit. The naked miko stood behind him and pulled away her blade. A thick green slime covered her sword. With wild eyes, Kagome looked at Sesshomaru breathing harshly. Dirt covered her body; leaves looked braided into her black hair. She kicked the demon to the side and embraced the tai-youkai with unprecedented strength. Before Sesshomaru could react, her soft lips consumed his. He stood still at first but then returned the intimate kiss allowing her tongue to battle his. The fire between them was unlike either had ever felt. Kagome wrapped her arms around tighter pulling her naked form closer to his. Their kissed felt like eternity before the miko needed to breathe. She released him slowly but never tore her eyes away from his.
Sesshomaru didn�t know what to do or say so remained silent. He figured the thrill of the kill made her canine tendencies get the best of her. Never would indulge the female again however. Regardless of her new predicament, she was still mostly human and still a miko. He decided to claim his kill and let the woman think. Sesshomaru would not admit to enjoying their intimate moment. It would only be a few more days before she was back with the half-breed and out of his life.
