Kagome woke up an hour to noon, she was to meet InuYasha at noon. She jumped up and grabbed a pair of blue jeans and a red tank. She ran to the bathroom and took a shower. She took longer then she would have liked InuYasha would surely yell at her for being late. Kagome grabbed her yellow pack and ran down the stairs "I'm going Mom!" she yelled getting the reply "Alright Dear, Love You" from her mother.

"Love You too" kagome yelled going to open the door but InuYasha swung it open first. "Oi! Wench! You late"

"InuYasha... Sitboy!" She yelled as his body fell to the floor with a loud 'thump!'. His body twitched as he muttered curses.

"Kagome since you have spare time I need to talk to you." Mrs.Higurashi said as InuYasha started to stand.

"The woman is comming with me" he said taking her arm, he dropped her arm when she gave him the look that meant she was going to say the 'sit' word.

"feh!" he replied crossing his arms and looking away.

"Yes Mom?" kagome asked.

"I wish to speak with you alone, InuYasha can you please go back to the feaudal Era?" Mrs. Higurashi asked turning her gaze to the hanyou. The Hanyou turned his head to face them to argue but Kagome gave him the glare, He left muttering words like "Wench" and "stupid". InuYasha disappeared down the well.

Kagome followed her mother into the kitchen. "Kagome your birthday is comming up soon and I have to say you will be undergoing some changes." Her mother said puoring Kagome a cup of tea she was making it before Kagome was going to leave. "So I want you to take this..." She handed Kagome a silver necklace with two dogs fighting on the pendant. "Never take it off after your birthday unless you want people to see your true form" Mrs. Higurashi finished. "What do you mean?" Kagome asked clearly confused.

"I can't tell you now" her mother said looking into her cup of tea. "Mom what is it?" Kagome asked wanting to know the information her mother was hiding from her.

Mrs. Higurashi sighed "Kagome your an Inu Youkai." Mrs. Higurashi stated trying to sound like it wasn't a big deal although she knew to Kagome it was. "What!" Kagome said her eyes wide from what her mothe told her. "How can I be youkai when I am simply a ningen see" She said showing her mom her ears and teeth. "I don't look like one" she said thinking it was some kind of joke. "I am inu Youkai myself Kagome, your brother Souta is Hanyou do to the fact that he has a different father." Kagomes jaw dropped. "Prove it to me." Kagome said not believeing it nor wanting to. Her mother stood taking a pendant off her neck and placing it on the table.

Mrs. Higurashi was swarmed in a red and black light a brown tail sprouted from the base of her back it had a white stripe on the side. Her hair grew down to her waist it was brown aswell and had a white stripe on her long bangs (think of rogue from xmen). Fangs protruded from her mouth and her nails grew to claws and her eyes a golden color.

"Believe me now? Kagome"her mother asked grabbing the necklace and putting it on. She quickly turned back to her human disguise. Kagome nodded shocked at the pickture of her mother.

Mrs. Higurashi sat back down taking a sip of tea. "Your father was Inu taiyoukai of the East, he and most of the pack were slaughtered by an invasion over the lands. Sugata his older brother stepped in and slain the enemy, Sugata was much stronger then your father Innova but Innova had gotten the thrown do to favorism. Sugata is now taiyoukai of the East. He had the spell cast upon you to make you appear human untill your 18th birthday which is in three days. I suggest you go to the Eastern lands as he wished when you turn 18 and he also said he would look for you at that age. I wouldn't show Inuyasha your true form thats why you have the pendant. Also on the night of your birthday sleep away from the others." Mrs. Higurashi explained. "Why are we here then and how?" Kagome asked after taking in all the information.

"I am a miko like you and I stumbled into the well" Mrs. Higurashi said simply.

"Why does Sugata want to see me?" kagome asked needing to know more. "You are the heir to the thrown and my daughter." her mother said. "He liked you?" Kagome asked quirking a brow. "Yes he did and may still do." she replied "You better get back to Inuyasha ask Sugata anymore questions that need answers." She finished ushering Kagome out the door.

Kagome left after a time. Inuyasha was furious but Kagome just sat him and walked away.He grumbled words but they were muffled by his face in the dirt. She didnt pay attention to him she was deep in thought.

she found Sango. "Hey Sango do you want to go to the onsen with me?" Kagome asked she really needed to tell her what had happened and what was going to happen. Sango was like a sister to her. "Sure Kagome" Sango replied giving Miroku a death glare. Miroku just gave them an innocent look.

They walked to the onsen Kagome telling Sango everything her mother said as soon as she was sure Inuyasha wasn't listening. "You are still Kagome and my best friend and I will help you all I can." sango replied getting out and getting dressed. Kagome hugged Sango after they were clothed "Thank you Sang" She whispered. "it's alright Kagome" Sango said returning the hug then pulling back.

They made it back to camp not long after. "We're leaving tomorrow." Inuyasha said.

"Which Direction are we heading?" Kagome asked.

"The South... why?" he asked raising a brow.

"I just think we should head east." she replied

"So you can see Kouga?" he spat still angry about earlier.

"No!" she replied 'man he can hold a grudge' she thought to herself.

"Then why?" her eyebrows furrowed but Sango cut in. "I think we should head East,too"

"I agree with what Lady Sango and Lady Kagome have to say" Miroku chimed in. Inuyasha rolled his eyes "Keh... whatever" he said jumpinginto a nearby tree fuming.
