Chapter 8: The Final Transformation
A white mist surrounded Chaemon as he stared at the full moon. Through it, I could see his hair color switching rapidly from white to black and his eyes from lavender to red to green. There was a bright light and I shielded my eyes from it. Once I could see again, I saw a familiar form standing where Chaemon once did.
"Keitaro," I whispered. 'It's the guy from my dream! When will this transforming end so I can learn to love his true form!?!' His head turned at his name and shocked blood red eyes met my brown ones. He looked down at his clawed hands in wonder.
"I can remember everything," he stated in Chiko's gentle voice. "Everything since the first day I saw you. All of Chiko's, Kaemon's, and even Chaemon's memory."
I felt tears well up in my eyes. "I wish you would quit changing on me," I whispered. I bowed my head and wiped at the tears that stained my face. I felt a gentle clawed hand tilt my head up and Keitaro brushed his thumb under my eye to rid it of the tears that had spilled.
He had crouched down in front of me and was looking at me with concern evident in his gaze. "You're wish is granted. This is the last and final transformation. All three of them make up a small part of me. I'm sorry for all of the pain I've put you through."
I sniffled and pulled from his grasp. "You don't know the half of it." I heard a loud purring and looked over to see something that shocked me. Renjiro was rubbing up against Keitaro and purring! Keitaro smiled and stroked him on the head. "Hello old friend. It's been a long time."
I heard footsteps behind me and watched as Keitaro looked up and nodded at the people behind me. I looked behind me to see everyone standing there with a shocked expression on their faces. "This is Keitaro. He's all three of them mixed into one and he's assured me that this is his final transformation," I said flatly. "Sango, Miroku, Inuyasha, Kagome, Shippo, this is my mate, Keitaro. Keitaro, these are my friends."
Keitaro got to his feet and held out a hand for me. I took it and let out a startled squeak as he pulled me to him and enveloped me in a hug. He buried his face in my hair and spoke softly so only I could hear him. "Chaemon wishes to avoid you, Kaemon to take you right here, and Chiko says to go slow. What'll it be, Angel?" His voice had gone low and growly and I recognized it to be the voice of Kaemon. I felt his hands rub my back suggestively and I felt a flush rise in my cheeks.
I growled a demon-like growl and pushed him away from me. "How about none of the above! Renjiro, come." I stalked off and into our sleeping quarters with Renjiro at my heels. I plopped down and Renjiro laid down in his large form behind me. I felt a clawed hand turn my face and didn't have enough time to react before Keitaro's gentle lips covered mine.
I felt all of my anger melt away and I lifted a hand to touch his cheek. There were voices outside of the hut and Keitaro broke the kiss. His mischievous gaze promised to finish what we'd started later and I felt a telltale blush creep into my face. Keitaro leaned against the wall and I cuddled up next to him like I used to Chiko.
Renjiro transformed and went to sleep beside Kirara. I closed my eyes and ears to the sounds of my friends settling down and fell into a dreamless sleep.
I woke to Keitaro shifting slightly and I opened my eyes to see him staring up at the ceiling, deep in thought. As if sensing that I was awake, his gaze dropped down to meet mine. I smiled up at him and was rewarded with a smile back. I looked around the hut and grinned.
Miroku was sleeping in an upright position at the foot of Sango's bed and Inuyasha was sprawled out at Kagome's feet. I looked back up at Keitaro and his eyes said that he saw the same thing I did. I burrowed into his embrace with a content sigh. I had a wonderful mate and wonderful friends. What more could I ask for? Keitaro tipped my head up to meet his gentle kiss and I decided that there was a lot more that I could ask for.
THE END
Author's Note: That's it! It's FINISHED! (Burst into tears of happiness.) This is my very first attempt at a full fan fiction, not mentioning the one shotter on Yu-Yu Hakusho, and it's over with! Thanks to you all who stayed with me throughout this entire thing. Bye for now!
