Morning fell upon Kagome and her friends. She'd woken at the crack of dawn, in hopes of slipping away quietly and heading back to her time, just to go to school. Her plan had nearly worked, if not for the already awake hanyou who was sitting up in his tree.
"Going somewhere?"
"Ah, Inuyasha, you're up early..."
"Same to you." He jumped down in front of her.
"Come on, lets get back to the hut,"
"I...I will in a bit..."
"Why are you going back now?"
"Well...you see..."
"If I try to stop you it'll end with me eating dirt right?"
"More than likely."
"Then go, just get back here!"
Kagome smiled and nodded, "Don't worry it's only for a bit today, I should be back before nightfall."
"Should?"
"If I can avoid my mom and grandpa, that is, if not it may not be till tomorrow..." She could tell that Inuyasha wasn't too happy with that knowledge.
"Ha...just go, before I change my mind...!"
Kagome had just kissed his cheek making him blush really red. He watched the girl head off, sighed then went down to the village.
Meanwhile, in Kagome's time:
In a house, not far from her school, a woman heads down the hall and stops at a closed door. She knocks and gets the okay to go in.
"What do you want so early in the damn morning?"
"Is today not the day?"
"Hm? What day?"
"The day that you said that you'd tell Kagome about her origin?"
"Oh, right that, ah...no, I think I'll..."
"If you don't do it today, Kagome may not ever be born, remember, thats what you said too."
Sheets were moved from laying on top of a man, to sitting beside him.
"I hate it when you're right." He stood.
"She is so not going to like this though."
"Hm, well what do you expect?"
"Again, you're right...leave so I can dress!"
The woman left the man alone in his room thinking.
"This is so not going to go the way I hope it would, but I do have to let her know, so that...argh! She is going to try to kill me herself! I know it!"
The man groaned as he shoved his arm into a clean shirt. He zipped up his pants and fastened a belt around his waist. He chose to wear sunglasses to hide his eyes.
"Ha...ready as ever I guess..." He sighed and left his room.
"Bye mom!"
"Have a good day Sota...hm? Oh! Kagome!"
Kagome hugged her mother. "Welcome back dear."
"Hm, I'm going to go upstairs and change for school."
"Of course, come straight down after, I'll call your school to let them know you'll be a bit late."
"Thanks mom!"
Kagome ran into the house and up to her room, where she stripped out of her dirty uniform and went straight into the shower.
"Ah...that feels so much better! Waterfalls are fine, but cold water doesn't hold a candle to hot water." Kagome said happily as she zipped up her skirt and turned it the right way.
"Hm...Let's see now, I'm dressed, I have my school bag, and my books, and my...ah!" She grabbed a notebook from her travel bag.
"There and my report. Now it's time for school." She hurried downstairs.
"Bye mom!"
"Have a good day dear."
Kagome ran right passed a man wearing sunglasses, nearly bumping into him. She paused and looked back at the man, who had long wavy black hair.
"Hm...nah, couldn't be." She decided and hurried on her way.
The man had begun sweating when he realised that the girl had stopped and looked back at him, then relaxed a bit when she continued on her way.
"That would have been too early for my liking." he said and turned to head up the Shrine steps.
"Why did you come home again Sota?"
"Teacher conference, all of us got to go home."
"Ah, I see, and if I were to call your school they'd confirm that?"
"Mhm."
"Alright, want some more breakfast then?"
"Sure."
"So, is that just your school?"
"Mhm, yeah."
"I see, well at least Kagome will be here for dinner, and breakfest tomorrow moring..."
"Kagome came back!"
"Mhm, shortly after you left."
"Co...huh..." Sota stopped talking right in the middel of his sentance.
"Sota, is everything...OH!"
Kagome's mother, little brother and grandfather all looked with wide eyes at the man standing in their kitchen doorway.
The man was silent, until, he looked at the woman, then he sighed and took off his sunglasses to reveal his scarlet eyes.
"Hello, Kun Loon." He spoke softly.
"Bye guys,"
"You'll be at school tomorrow too won't you Kagome?"
"I...I don't know I'll have to wait and see...what the doctor says."
"Right, of course, well, we hope you will."
"Yeah it's no fun without you around Kagome."
"Thanks guys, I've gotta go, see you later."
"Bye!"
Kagome waved bye to her friends as she climbed the steps of her family's shrine.
"I'm home mom!" She called, but got no reply.
"Mom? Sota? Gandpa?" She found a note on the fridge.
Your grandfather took Sota out for a bit, I'm in the living room.
"Hm? Then why didn't she answer?"
Kagome sighed and went to walk into the living room, then heard the voice she knew all too well and ran to the well shed, grabbed a bow and arrow and run back into the house.
"Are you sure this is the best time to do this?"
"There won't be another time to do this Kun Loon. We have to tell her today, or there will never be a today between us."
"Hm...I understand."
"NARAKU!"
Kagome shouted, angrily.
"Well, that was rather quick..."
Kagome aimed her arrow at him.
"Get away from my mother! NOW!"
Kagome's voice held venom within.
"Kagome,"
"Mom..."
Kagome's mother sighed and walked over to her angry daughter and placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Dear, it's alright."
"What!"
"Naraku is a guest right now dear, so please, set the bow down."
Kagome couldn't believe what she was hearing.
"He is no guest!" Kagome shouted her arrow still on Naraku.
"Kagome...you really should listen to your mo..."
An arrow whizzed past Naraku's face.
"SHUT UP! It'll be you next time!"
"Kagome!"
"Mom!"
Kagome's mother pulled her daughter into another room.
"Let me go!"
"Kagome,"
"How could you! You know who he is! You knew who he was and you invited him here!"
"Kagome, let me explain..."
Kagome was so angry, but she simmered down a bit and let her mother explain.
"Kagome, you remember when your father left right?"
"Yeah, I was 12. I went to school, with him being here watching me leave for school with you, and came back and he had left. I remember, why?"
"Kagome..."
"Why did he leave? Do you know?"
"Well, why don't we let him tell you himself?"
"Huh? How?"
"He's here right now."
"What! Where?"
"In the living room."
"Huh? The only ones in there right now are Buyo and..."
Kagome's eyes went wide as she looked to her mother.
"No..."
"Kagome...it's true, Naraku is your father."
Kagome was speechless for a bit, then
"AAHHHHHAAHAHAHAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" She screamed.
"Ah...well, I guess she knows, eh Buyo?"
The cat just yawned and went back to sleep.
"Meaning I'm going to have a lot of questions to answer.
