"Kagome? Such a pretty name. So did you and Kirara both eat Devil fruits?"

"Devil fruit? What's that?"Kagome asked moving to sit up.

"I don't think you should be trying to sit up just yet, when we found you two, you both had pretty serious injuries." Shanks cautioned.

"I did?" Kagome asked looking herself over. She was now only a little bigger then Kirara and she was bandaged almost from head to paws. Her fur was a beautiful midnight black colour with dark blue highlights.

"Yeah, most of your wounds, I've been told, are going to heal without out scaring except…"

"Except?"

"Well…there were two wounds, one on either side of your face, just underneath your eyes in the shape of a canine tooth, our doctor says that those will probably scar, though your fur will probably hide it."

"Ok… So back to my original question, what is a Devil fruit?"

"You seriously don't know? Well, a Devil fruit is a special type of fruit which, when eaten, gives the person who eats it incredible powers at the cost of never being able to swim ever again."

"WHAT! You mean I'm stuck as a panther that can't swim forever?"

"No…Let me explain. There are three known types of Devil Fruit. The first, and most common is the Paramecia type."

"Paramecia type?"

"Yes, this type of fruit gives you the ability to have super-human strength such as giving you the ability to turn your body into rubber or allowing you to become invisible at will. The second type of fruit is the Zoan type. These fruit allow a person to transform into a particular animal. This is the type that that you probably ate. You should be able to change back into a human form if you try."

"Should?"

"The third is the Logia type, which is the rarest type. These fruit allow the user to control and transform themselves into a particular element like fire, ice, electricity or something else to that degree."

"So how do I change back into a human?"

"…I have no idea!"

Half an hour later…

"Not it…No…There we go!" Shanks commented as Kagome finally managed to change back into a semi human form. "Well this proves it! I have no idea what Devil fruit you ate because I have never heard of a fruit that allows someone to transform into different animals."

"You haven't?" Kagome asked before looking down at herself and, realising she was A. Had no clothes on and B. was in a smaller body than she remembered, leapt off the bed only to poke her head back above the side of the bed.

Shanks chuckled as he stood up and moved over to a nearby dresser. "Here, try these on; they should be sixe to fit."

"Thank-you." Kagome said as she accepted the garments, which included a cream-tan coloured shirt, a pair of long pants and a deep sea blue coloured cloak with gold trimmings.

"We also found this around your neck." Shanks said, handing her a necklace with a single canine tooth shaped stone attached to it."

"I must admit, those clothes look good on you." Shanks commented as he re-entered the small cabin.

"Thanks…" Kagome said, blushing as Kirara finally started to stir. "Hey sleepy head, you're finally awake."

"Mew?"

"LAND HOW!" a voice yelled from up above an hour later.

"What Island?" Shanks asked after all three of them had reached the deck with Shanks carrying Kagome in her Kitten form while Kirara rested on his shoulder.

"According to the map, it's _ Island!"
