A Hidden Angel

I don’t own InuYasha, but, I do own Arcangel! If anyone wants to use her you must have my permission.


Chapter 3: The Transformation

“Kagome!! What’s wrong? What can I do for you? Why are you screaming?” InuYasha said in a hurried and worried tone. He didn’t want her to put that damned bracelet on in the first place. ‘Why could she not listen to me for a change?’ That scream that she emitted was enough to wake the dead. ‘Maybe Kaede will know what is wrong with her.’ He thought as he picked Kagome.

Kagome was writhing in pain. Unbearable pain was seething through her back around her shoulder blades. It felt as though a razor sharp object was slowly forcing its way through her skin and fusing with her bones. ‘Why didn’t I listen to InuYasha? He is a demon after all, he would know if things smell funny or not right?’ Those were the only things that she had time to think before another wave of pain cut through her. She felt InuYasha scoop her up in his arms and was only able to utter the words, “Take me to Kaede.” Then she was completely overcome with pain and all other senses were blocked out. She could not hear, see, smell or feel anything but the pain that ripped through her body like a tornado.

“Don’t worry, my love, I’ll get you there as soon as I can.” InuYasha said in a hushed tone as he nuzzled her neck…’Wait a minuet did I really say that to her? And mean it? She must have me really worried for me to utter that nonsense. Is that really how I feel? No it can’t be, oh who cares. I need to get Kagome some where and taken care of before I worry about what I am thinking.’ With those thoughts he picked up his speed, careful not to jostle his precious cargo around to much, and arrived at Kaede’s hut in record speed.

“Kaede, Kagome is in pain and it came out of nowhere. Is there anything you can do to help her?” The worried hanyou said in a rather hurried manner.

“Calm down InuYasha, what has ye in such a rush?” Kaede said before she noticed the bundle in his arms that was writhing in pain. “What happened InuYasha? Why it the poor child in such pain? What did ye do to her?”

“Well we were opening a gif that her father had left her. She put on that damned bracelet and I couldn’t get it off and the next thing I know the little wench is screaming loud enough to bust my ear drums.” He said not realizing how uncaring he sounded. Kaede just figured that he wasn’t going to really show his feelings for the girl and try to keep tough guy façade.

“Alright InuYasha, I will see what I can do. You leave the hut so that I can see what ails the girl. And make sure you get Songo. I am sure if some demon is responsible she will know.” Kaede said in a hurried tone trying to get the hanyou out of the hut.

“Why should I leave? I am the on that brought her here, I should make sure that she is okay.” He said in a rather angry voice. No one was going to take him away from HIS Kagome while she was in pain. What if she was in pain and asked for him? That old bat wasn’t going to keep him form HIS Kagome, no one.

“I have to take the girls shirt off, and I do not think that ye should be in the room for that. She desirves a little privacy don’t you think?” Kaede tried to reason with the stubborn hanyou. Knowing very well that he thought as Kagome as a mate, even though he wasn’t willing to admit it.

“Very well, you old hag. But the moment I here her call for me I am going to come into this room. Whether she is naked or not. I will fetch Songo if it will help Kagome.” He said in a very threatening tone. He personally wouldn’t mind seeing her nude, but, she was in pain and only wanted to see her if and when she wanted her to. ‘I swear if that monk gets anywhere neat that hut, that damned wind tunnel won’t kill him ….I will.’

So he was off in search of the demon slayer known as Songo to help Kagome. Meanwhile Kagome’s pain had stopped once InuYasha left the room and a strange voice was ringing through her thoughts. ‘Child you must not be around men while you are changing. Men are not allowed to witness the transformation of an angel. If one is present you will only suffer the most unbearable pain imaginable if one is. As for the pain you have already experienced use aloe. Have someone put aloe on your back to soothe the pain.’

Kagome’s mind was swimming. What was this strange voice she was hearing and more over should she trust it? Why not? When InuYasha left the room the pain did stop, but, she couldn’t be an angel; could she? There were so many questions running through her mind and yet only two could become audible to the voice. ‘Who are you? And why would someone else have to put the aloe on my back?’

The voice answered almost immediately, too immediately. ‘Well my dear that will be answered soon. You will find out who I am soon enough. And you need someone else to add the aloe because you are going to slip into a deep sleep for two days. I believe that it will be difficult for you to apply the aloe while you sleep.’ And the voice was gone.

Should she trust it? Aloe could not hurt her, so why not give it a go. Couldn’t hurt to try could it? So he spoke up, but barley. From all the screaming in the past few hours her vocal chords were strained and the only words Kaede could make out were, “Men….stay away….aloe….back.” And then Kagome passed out in Kaede’s arms and fell into a deep sleep. Just as Kagome spoke Songo entered the room.

“InuYasha told me the news. What is wrong with Kagome? I can’t think what kind of demon would do this to her. I haven’t even herd of something like this happening at all.” Songo exclaimed as she took a seat beside Kaede and Kagome.

“Well child she managed to utter a few words before you entered. There was something about no men seeing her and aloe for her back!?” Kaede said in an almost questionable tone; and at the same time began to turn Kagome over to see what was wrong with her back.

Once the shirt and bra were removed Kaede and Songo gasped at that they saw. It looked as though tiny wings were beginning to protrude from her back. There was blood coming from the bottom of the shoulder blade where it seemed they began to poke through.

“No wonder the poor child was in pain,” the old miko said laying the poor girl on her stomach in a near by futon. “Go and tell the others the news, but, do not tell them about the wings. InuYasha will try to get in here and I do not think that would be a good idea.”

“You are right, I will put the group out to search for aloe and make sure that no one else enters this hut!” The demon exterminator said as she wordily excited the hut.

*~ Outside the Hut ~*

“How is she? What is wrong with her? What is going on? What kind of demon did this to her? Just let me know and I will go and rip them a new one.” InuYasha said as Songo came out of the hut. There was no denying that he was worried, it was written all over his face. The look of a demon about to lose his mate. Too bad he didn’t realize that his demon blood had chosen her as such.

“InuYasha, I do not know what caused this, but, there are some things we can do for her,” Songo said getting everyone’s attention, “Before Kagome fell asleep she said that she needed aloe and for men to stay away from her. I am not sure why, but, if it will make her fell better then I say we respect her wishes.”

“Well I am not a man so I should be able to go see her,” an overzealous kitsune said trying to bound into the hut that contained his mother figure.

“Shippo, I am sorry you are a boy and you are not allowed to go in either,” Songo said cutting him off at the pass.

“Yeah you little runt. You get that, do not go anywhere near that hut,” InuYasha said to the kitsune and then proceeded to stare at the monk, “and that goes double for you lecture!”

“There was no reason for you to threaten me, why would you implicate me of doing such a thing?” Miroku stated trying to act an innocent as possible.

“Because you ass, Kagome is naked in there. So help me if you go anywhere near there her that wind tunnel will not kill you…I will. And that is a promise.”

“Alright you have my promise as a monk that I will not go anywhere near that hut.” Miroku said fearing for his life.

“You had better, or else.” The irritated hanyou uttered.

“Alright boys that is enough, I am not sure ho long she is going to be out so…lets split up and see if we can find some aloe. Shippo and I will look around town. Miroku you take Kirara and go see Jenji to see if he has any special kind of aloe for Kagome. And InuYasha you go to Kagome’s time to see if you can find out anything about that bracelet that her father left for her. Okay you all have your orders, now let’s go.” Songo ordered finding it was quite easy for them to accept. Especially InuYasha, he never wanted to follow orders.


~* Kagome’s Dream *~

“What has happened and where am I?” A very confused Kagome asked in what seemed to look like an old cavern. There were crystal formations everywhere and there was a romantic glow about the place that almost seemed familiar to her. “Why does this place seem so comforting to me? Why do I feel like I belong here?” She asked to no one in particular.

CRACK, CRACK, CRACK

All her thoughts were put on hold when she her a noise come from the left of her. As she moved closer she could see what seemed to be a woman with wings in a crystallized cocoon of some sort. The cracks in the cocoon became longer and longer as an unseen force was cracking in open, until finally it shattered.

The being that stood before Kagome was the most beautiful that she had ever seen. She looked no older that 21, had blonde hair, captivating silver eyes, and stood about 5’10. Her skin completion was that of a golden tan and her garb looked to be from the middle ages. It was a garnet red outfit; the top was that of a metal halter top accentuating her very large bosom. The skirt (if you want to call it that) reached the floor, but, there were two slits that went up to the top of her inner thigh. Her strange garb seemed to accentuate to body of a very buxom woman and to top it all off she had beautiful wings that poured around her, like a shield against the outside world. The most menacing thing about her was the weapon that she held to her right; it was a long staff that looked to be about 6 feet tall with a curved blade a foot in length and 15 inches wide. The blade seemed to be stained with bold and reeked of death.

The woman in front of her was both beautiful and dangerous at the same time. Who was she and why did she feel a strange tie to her? She had to ask. “Who are you? Why am I here?”

“Why I am really hurt that you would say that to me.” Said the woman before her, with the same voice that Kagome herd in her head before slipping into oblivion.

Kagome stared at the presence with a strange expression and spoke, “Should I know you?”

“Of course you should, I am your grandmother and the one known as Arcangel.” She said walking forward to embrace Kagome.

Wow, goodness. I did not think that this chapter would last this long. So I am going to have to split up into two parts. Sorry. So Next time…..Chapter 4: The Transformation Part 2

Answer to wolf_rain: This is a male female story. I am not into the whole inscest thing. Arcangel is Kagome's grandmother. There is nothing wrong with someone thinking that a realtive is pretty. There in nothing wrong with a woman reginizing another's beauty. Not to mention I had to describe Arcangel. Her looking like a buxom woman is part of her personality. Rest assured that this is a M/F stroy. There will be some Inu/Kag Lemons. Some Kag/Kouga Lime moments. Some Arcangel/Miroku Lime suggestive moments. And some InuTashio/Arcangel Limey moments. I really do not believe in yaoi or yuri moments. K!
