"Talking"

Normal

With that over and done with, on with the story, this is a Kagome/Sesshoumaru fan fiction and it might be Kikyo bashing so if you like Kikyo, than leave now.

Chapter 1 Secrets and Betrayal

Kagome ran; she ran as fast as she could, away from all of the frustration, pain, and anger.

I can't believe he couldn't at least tell me that he chose Kikyo. Kagome thought as she just kept running blindly through the forest not caring where she ended up, legs moving as fast as her thoughts. Why would he do that, even after all we'd been through together. I didn't even get to tell him what my mother told me, about who and what I really am.

-Flashback-

"Kagome, come here," called her mother, from the kitchen.

"Coming," She replied while running down the stairs, jumping the last few at the bottom.

"Kagome, I have something I need to tell you. It's something that has been kept a secret for your safety in this era, but with you traveling to the Feudal Era, perhaps it will help keep you safe there instead. Though if you would like you can chose to wait to learn it until you are eighteen." explained her mother.

"Whatever it is mom, if you feel I should know it, and that it can help then I would like to know," replied Kagome wondering what could possibly be on her mother's mind.

"Kagome," began her mother slowly, obviously wondering how to begin, "you're a demon, a full blooded youkai." Kagome paled, shock overcoming her as she fell onto the couch in the living room. Her mother walked over and kneeled in front of her, placing her hands on her knees. "When you were born you father and I put a concealment spell on you, to hide your looks and your powers. I can take it off when you want me to or I can teach you how to take it off and put it on, on your own. You are a very strong youkai with miko and demon powers when the concealment spell is removed all of your demonic features will come forth. Also, when you were young, your father would take you to the dojo, and practice with you. When he died, I thought it would be safer for you, to hide these memories and pretend that you, and the rest of the family, were human." she explained. "When the concealment spell is removed, the lock on those memories will also be released. Letting you remember all that your father taught you, though you might be a bit rusty with your abilities. I figure Inuyasha can help with that, along with your other friends in the past."

"What kind of demon am I, momma?" asked Kagome, still trying to process all that her mother told her.

"You are a miko and kitsune youkai mix; you are more powerful than many other youkai out there. You are the princess of the southern lands NOT Kikyo's reincarnation, I don't know where that came from. You have the potential to become the strongest being on this planet, if you learn to use your power wisely," Kagome's mother explained excitedly.

"Wow…ummmmm, how can I be a miko and a demon?" Kagome asked, her mother's excitement influencing her.

Kagome's mother moved to the couch, sitting beside her daughter. "Well…before I met your father, I was a miko, from this era. I didn't know that I was, or that mikos and demons really existed. I worked on this shrine with my father, your grandpa, who by the way is not a demon. Your father came through the well, hurt and confused. On my way to school, I found him, wandering around the shrine. I first thought that he was in costume for a festival or something. Then I saw the wounds and the blood. He looked and me, and fell to the ground. I of course helped him, nursing him back to health, much to my father's dismay. We learned about each other, and he told me how he came to be here. He fell through the well during a battle, and ended up here. He was the prince soon to be lord of the south, and they were trying to take his birthright. The man trying to do this was a half-demon, by the name of Naraku." Kagome gasped and stared at her mother.

"Naraku?" Kagome started to tremble.

"Yes Kagome, the very same Naraku that you and your friends are battling now." Kagome's mother explained. Watching the many expressions moving across her daughters face. "Anyway, your father and I grew close, learning to love each other. He knew eventually he would have to return through the well, but did not want to leave. He knew I was human, and that I would die, much sooner than he. To fix this he found an age old drink, said to turn a human into a demon. Bringing it back to me, he asked me if I would consider becoming a demon. The only problem is that I was a miko, he explained to me my powers, and was surprised that I didn't even know what I was. Neither of us knew how the drink would affect me, being a miko. The drink itself was demonic in nature. He was hesitant to try, but I chose to do it so that I could be with him. It hurt, but I lived, though barely from what he told me. That is how you are miko and demon, you got it from me. He brought me through the well and trained me, finding a miko willing to teach me, was not easy that's for sure. After I got pregnant, we came back here, and had a beautiful baby girl, shortly followed by a handsome baby boy. He loved you, very much, but soon it came to his attention that his lands were again in danger. He left here, returning through the well, and hasn't returned. I don't know if he even still lives."

Kagome sat, thinking over her mother's words. Wondering if her father was alive or not. A small piece of hope grew in her heart. Maybe if he was alive, she could find him. And if he wasn't at least she and her mother would get closure.

"Kagome?" she snapped out of her thoughts and looked back at her mother. "Your brother doesn't know yet, and I am not sure yet when I want to tell him. So please remember to keep this to yourself, alright dear?" Kagome nodded at her mother, knowing that wouldn't be a problem with how often she was gone. Kagome's eyes brightened, "Mama, what do you look like?" Her mother laughed and smiled, shaking her head.

"That my dear is for another time." Kagome's face fell and she glared at her mother as she walked back into the kitchen, laughing at the disgruntled look on her daughters face.

-End Flashback—

Kagome smiled at the memory. Her mother had talked to her again later, asking her when she wanted the concealment off. Kagome thinking about Sota and not wanting him to find out before her mother was ready, said it would be best once she was in the past. So her mother had taught her how to access her miko abilities to release the spell, explaining that after she recovered her memories that she would be able to use her kitsune abilities to do it.

Kagome tripped over a branch and almost fell, snapping out of the lingering memory, she returned to her earlier thoughts. Inuyasha how could you betray me like that again, after all the times when you said you'd protect me. How can you protect me from yourself? Kagome tripped again and fell hard to the ground, but refused to get up. She just lay there sobbing. That's the last straw Inuyasha, no more will you hurt me, and I no longer love you. I won't let myself endure anymore pain. I am a Kitsune youkai and damn it, I will act like one. I am stronger than you have ever been and ever will be. And with those thoughts finished, Kagome stood up and released the concealment spell.

So, what do you think, can everyone notice the differences or is it not really noticeable. Let me know, what you think! Thank you all and please, pretty please review! ^^
