A Hurtful Past:

Chapter 1: Memories Part I

Kagome has returned to her time to have some "relaxing time" so she calls it. She wanted to visited her family because they were celebrating something on this "special day." Kagome remembered that it was time for her to go back home. She knew that the rest of her friends wouldn't understand why she would want to go back home on such short notice.

(a/n that was just a small prologue. Just to let you in on what was going on. I know that wasn't much of help but, continuing on with this Inuyasha fanfic. )

'When in the world is that wench coming back!' Inuyasha thought as he waited for Kagome to return from her era.

"She will come back soon, so don't get angry. She is probably still packing and on her way right now," The Lecherous monk, Miroku, said in a hopeful tone to the ungrateful half demon.

"Yeah, don't worry about it," Shippo said and leaped on Inuyasha's shoulder. And continued, "It only for 3 days that she is spending in her time. But I hope she brings some more tasty ninja snacks!" The little fox demon said excitedly.

"Feh, it's not like I care for that stupid wench anyway!" Spat the angry half demon at the group. then roughly he pushed Shippo off his shoulders. A loud thump was heard as Shippo's head made contact with the floor. He gave no interest to Shippo's aching head. All he did was turn and looked away.

Couple of Minutes later

Minutes past in silence. It seemed like hours that they were stuck in that hut. But the hut seemed quieter than usual. Without Inuyasha and Kagome's constant yelling it sounded real creepy. It was also getting really late, because the sunset was 3 hours ago.

Everyone was around the fire getting ready for bed. While Inuyasha waited and waited near the door getting ready to yell at the girl whenever she came through that door. His foot was tapping the wooden floor, making a rhythmic pattern. With his hands in his usual red kimono.

Sango's anger exploded "Inuyasha get some rest!" She was irritated by all the noise he was making. "You can get her tomorrow when IT IS MORNING!" Sango, the demon exterminator, yelled as she tried to get some sleep. His annoyance got her to yell so hard that it even scared herself. She looked back to Inuyasha to see how he reacted to her responds. His facial expression was unbelievably angry. The anger was seen through his amber eyes.

"Y-you.. Argh! I'm leaving, you happy now! Get your stupid rest!" Inuyasha yelled. He stomped out of the hut in search for Kagome. Though he wouldn't admit. Everything that was in front of him, he either shoved or shredded out of his way. He shoved the curtain door so hard that it fell to the ground.

"Damn all of you!" The furious demon shouted. The trees were still, no wind, nothing. While made his way to the Bone-eaters well, he sensed a demon. But no one was in sight, but he knew that he sensed something. He looked over once again to make sure no one was following him. 'That's strange. I thought I.. Doesn't matter anyways.'

Once he reached the well, he sat alongside it and stared at the sky for a while. Then turn around to face the inside of the well. He sighed. "When the hell are you coming back?" he whispered into the well. Expecting for Kagome to appear any second in there. When he heard no one he made his jump. He couldn't stand waiting all night, so he had to do something.

& - & - & - & - & - & -Back in the hut... After Inuyasha left. - & - & - & -& - & - &

After Inuyasha's rude awakening, everyone was wide awake. Shippo got up and looked out the door. And said, "You think (yawn) he is going to get (yawn) Kagome?" Shippo asked. Rubbing his eyes with his little paw after Inuyasha woke him up with his ignorant yelling. He looked back at the window and asked softly, making sure that Inuyasha near the hut. He knew what was going to be his reward if he said the wrong thing in front of Inuyasha.

"I bet he is. Why would he leave like that…." Miroku started to laugh then suddenly stopped laughing as so did his expression change. He felt a presence of a demonic aura. The same one that Inuyasha felt. He looked around the room and stared at the door suspiciously.

"What's wrong Miroku?" She walked up to him and placed her hand on his shoulder. "You felt that presence there too. Didn't you?" The exterminator said as she went and grabbed her Hiraikotsu. No movement came about her. She looked up in surprise. "Huh, that's… weird…. the aura disappeared." She glanced back a Miroku and Shippo.

"Yeah it did…but, I am still going outside to take a look for a while. I am quite not sure that the aura completely left." Miroku's voice was serious, like he ever was.

"I'll come too. Who knows what could happen to you? Come on Shippo." They looked at the fox child and waited for his responds. She was offering her hand as he sat there confused.

"I…don't know? I mean it is really, really dark outside. We might not live to see daylight again!" Shippo exaggerated in his responds.

Both laughed when they heard Shippo say that. They both gave him evil glare saying " you better come or you what might happen.." that glare changed his answer within seconds.

"Maybe.. it's not a half bad idea." He stared to laugh and ended his nervous laugh.

For about a five-minute walk in the forest…they finally felt the presence of a demon again. The demon was talking to someone, but in a different language that Miroku, Sango, or Shippo didn't understand.

They stared at the demon until it said, "What business do you want with me?" his back was turned away for them. "I won't kill you if, you tell me what you want." The so-called "demon" said. Then he clenched his fists.

"What are you saying! We don't associate with demons!" the Monk yelled at the man. Only standing only a few yards away. He tried to examine the demon but it was too dark to see.

He chucked. "What make you think that I am a demon? For your information I am no demon! It may seem that I have a demonic aura but it doesn't mean that I am a demon!" The man turned around. There was a small glimpse of light that reflected from the moon. He looked quite young and did look human from a far distance. But appearances can be deceiving. The man looked away, to the trees and smiled. Someone was there, hiding. But who?

"You mean you aren't a demon?" Shippo pause of confusion. "We are so sorry…It is just.. We felt a strong aura.. but why is it that you aren't a dem-OW?" He wanted to ask more questions but they wouldn't come out. And he got a bonk on the head that made him dizzy. "Oww… that hurt!" he patted his head.

"Don't apologize to him Shippo!" Sango exclaimed. She looked back at the demon. "What makes us want to believe you!" she spat back in disgust.

He looked at her with no remorse. "If you wish not to believe me then don't. I don't care." He sighed. And looked back at the trees. 'They will never understand.' He sighed. 'I hope they don't find you. I know what they'll do if they do.' a glimpse of despair could be sensed.

Miroku walked closer to the demon. But he did not move an inch. "I am confused with what you are saying." He took one more glimpse at the demon again. He made no sudden movements as if he knew that they weren't going to kill him. The "demon's" expression was normal and quiet serious.

"I'm like this because it's my family business not yours!" With that he left. But he didn't just walk away but he just disappeared. His disappearing trick amazed them. Small lights surrounded him. A tornado like thing picked up. It spun around him until it calmed again as the tornado of lights faded. No one was left.

They were once again left alone in the forest. "He was a strange person don't you say!"

exclaimed Shippo as he looked back at Miroku and Sango.

"That sure was. That sure was." Sango said as she remembered the lights appearing and fading.

& - & - & - & - & - & - & - & - Back with Inuyasha - & - & - & - & - & - & - & - &

He soon arrived in her time, where he would drag Kagome back to his time. He jumped from the well house and to her bedroom window. Then he opened the window. Expecting to find her in room since the whole the room had her scent. But she wasn't there. He went downstairs to ask where Kagome is? His stomping down the stairs made it clear that he has arrived.

Kagome's mom saw Inuyasha and greeted him. "Oh, Good Evening, Inuyasha." She smiled at him and bowed. "Did Kagome leave something? Do you want something to eat before you leave?" Mrs. Higurashi asked so kindly.

"HUH? What do u mean 'Did Kagome leave something?' I came to get her just now."

Inuyasha's mind was full of questions when he heard her responds. 'If Kagome isn't her then where is she? Why didn't I sense that she wasn't here in the first place?' He questioned.

Souta pass by and greeting him. "Hey Inuyasha, what's up?" he asked in such a calm way. He was wearing his pajamas and eating a bag of potato chips.

"Nothing much squirt." And gave him a soft rub on the head. Messing up his hair.

"So did sis forget something? And send you to get it for her? You want some chips?"

Inuyasha nodded and Souta handed the bag to him. Inuyasha was stuffing his mouth full of the chips.

"Souta it's time for you to go to bed. Now go to your room and you better have finished your homework!" Mrs. Higurashi exclaimed. And pointed to the stairs. Telling him to go up stairs to bed.

"Aww, mom do I have to. I mean it's early to go to sleep." He said in such a pleading tone.

She shook her head.

"Aww. Fine. Good night mom. Night Inuyasha." With that he walked up to his room.

Mrs. Higurashi was staring at the floor. "Oh, I thought that she was in your era. She left last night to your time." Mrs. Higurashi voice was worried and her voice sounded shaky. Her hand was over her mouth and tears weld up against eye. She started to cry. Sniff, sniff "You have to find her, she can't be left alone." She walked to Inuyasha. "She is really in danger and-" Inuyasha cut her off.

Inuyasha placed his hands on her shoulder and said. "Don't worry.. ok.. I'll get her back!" and with that he left in a rush.

Leaving Mrs. Higurashi with concern worry look on her face. After he left she placed her hands in her jacket pocket. And found a note. It said:

Dear Mom,

I think you are probably worried by now. But I left this note just in case. I left early because I had to go to the main house. I had to go pick up my medicine. But I will be fine. Don't tell this to Inuyasha if he comes to get me. He won't understand my family problems. If you want to talk to me call me on my cell. I'll be with Yoji and everyone else so don't worry.

Love,

Kagome

Mrs. Higurashi sighed in relief. "You had me so worried," she whispered and a small smile form. And just realized, 'What will Inuyasha do when he finds out? I better call Hitori to let him know.' She walked over to the phone.

& - & - & - & - & - & - & - & - Meanwhile - & - & - & - & - & - & - & - &

Inuyasha was so worried of what would happen to her. But he would never show that he was worried about her. He rushed to the well house and jumped back through the well.

Once he got back to his time and out of the well he thought. 'Was she attacked by demons? I can't believe she just left like that and lying to her mom.. Huh, I hear voices and is that Kagome's scent? She must be close by.' He stood to think for a while then, he dashed to the nearest tree. And saw Kagome with some guy. 'Who the hell is that guy.. He better not hurt her.' He clinched his Tessaiga preparing to kill the guy like he was a demon or something.

Inuyasha over hearing the Conversation.

In the forest two figures could be seen. A young man and a girl, who happened to be Kagome. It was dark but in the forest wasn't too dark to actually fall over and hurt yourself. The moon's light helped them see better in the dark.

"Yoji, thank you so much for everything. It was nice to see them again." Kagome said. Like usual she is wearing the same green and white school outfit.

Yoji ignored her. He showed no sign of gratitude.

"Umm .. Yoji…" She was staring at the ground.

"Huh" Yoji turns to face Kagome. He looked very young. At least 3-4 inches taller than her. About the same height as Inuyasha, but a little taller. He has light brown hair.

( IMPORTANT! A/N: Yoji is the guy in Imadoki! He looks little like Aki and Frey. (It is from Ceres and Alice 19th ) It is hard to describe him, but if you don't know how he looks like I will show you. You can go to google or something... type in "Imadoki: Yoji" Because they don't let you put up pictures here. So the best site to find a picture of him is: popula.free.fr/gal04.htm Just right click and copy the url. make sure it doesn't have www. in front of it! and paste on the adress screen. Just scroll down till you see the word Yoji on it. Yoji is not like the rest of the characters he is also from the "present" so he wears clothes from that time. But no school uniform. Just regular clothes. )

"Um…" Kagome stammered.

"Wait." he hushed her before she said anything else. "Before you say anything, I have something to give you." He pulled out a small rectangular box. It was neatly wrapped in special paper, gifted wrapped paper. It was a present.

"Oh my goodness! you got me a birthday present!" she started hugging him. "Thank you, thank you sooo much.." She clamed down from her excitement and released him from her hug. She looked at him. "Everyone in this era doesn't know about my birthday or even know what it means." Her voice showed her depression. She glanced back at the ground. The dirt seemed very interesting to her right now.

"Yeah, I know" Yoji said in a serious tone. He handed her the gift that was placed in his left coat pocket. "This gift is from everyone from the main house, and I put a CD I burned there, I hope you like it. It's one of your favorites." He gave her a heart warming smile.

(A/N: In my fanfic, Kagome can in speak a different language. Her friends won't know what she is saying because the main language is English not Japanese. And to do so she is going to be speaking in Japanese so it can seem like another language. There will be translations.)

She opened her the box a found a new CD she always wanted to have. Under the CD was a small box. A black music box with a red rose on the top. She opened the box and saw a glass rose was placed in the middle of it. It was placed in newspaper to prevent it from breaking. It was a clear glass rose. The rose had a tag at the side of its stem. It said, 'Hope you like it. From Hiei.'

"Kore kite mo i des ka?" (Can I listen to this?) she said in a happy mood, but also shyly.

"Hai" (yes) "suki des ka?" (Did you like it?) He still made no eye contact.

"Hai, arigato" (yes, thank you) Kagome was so happy of what she got as a present.

Her excitement was nothing like before. She was so happy that she didn't stop smiling.

"Oh yea, this letter, also came for you. It's from…. um….you know," He ignored her expression and stared at the ground. He handed her the letter. The letter looked old and the paper was torn from the edges.

"It is?…. Can it really help me! Can it!" She was excited and was acting all jumpy. Like a little 5-year-old girl would act when she ate too much chocolate. She opened the letter quickly but gently at the same time. She was being careful, not to damage the paper even more. As soon as she opened it a red light color highlighted the whole paper for a second. Kagome read the note to herself. It said:

Once this letter opens, time is being wasted. I have faith that you are the one to find them both. Now your task is to learn Modorimas. She will help you bring them back to their physical form. I know that it is too much but it is the only way, if you truly want to help, that is?. You only have less than 16 days to find the first guardian. He is known as the guardian of the moon. The only clue I can give you that can help you is that he is located in the base of the moon's refection. The only clue I can give you, is that it is best to look for him is at a base of a river. I trust that you will not fail to find them both. I know that you will take care of them, as I once did.

- Li

"So ..what does it say?" Yoji asked curiously.

"I have…16 days to find him." Silence fell to her once again.

No one talked for about 5 minutes.

Then Kagome yelled. "What if I don't find him! And what if he dies!" Tears threatened to fall but she held it in. She started to wiped them as small tears fell, that she couldn't contain. She was cut off by the yelling she had to face.

"SHUT UP!" Yoji yelled. It startled her. "YOU THINK YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING." He placed his hands on her shoulders and started to shake her. "BUT YOU'RE WRONG!… 16 DAYS IS ENOUGH! SO STOP YOUR CRYING AND HURRY UP AND FIND HIM! IT CAN'T BE THAT HARD." He let her go and sighed. His anger calmed. He wasn't like Inuyasha who just keeps yelling. Yoji knows when to stop yelling.

Sniff, sniff "But-"

"Hurry up and go." His voice changed. He was able to control his anger. "Your friends are probably worried by now…." His voice softens even more. "Oh, before I forget. Here's your medicine. Hitori told me to give these to you before you left." He gave her the medicine.

"Huh, um…Thank you. I completely forgot about it." She scratched her cheek with her finger and acted like a little girl. She hugged him again. He returns the hug.

"You're welcome." He whispered to her as he pulled her away from the embrace. A slight blush appeared across his face. Good thing it was night and not day. The blush on his face would have been seen. And blushing embarrassed him even more.

"Today was a close one. Wasn't it?" she smiled at him. Changing the subject.

"Huh? Oh, Yea. I thought that your friends would have found you. I was worried." He approached her and hugged her again.

She was surprised that he even hugged her, again. She gasped in surprise

He whispered into her ear. "I was so worried that if they found out… You would end up like the rest of us."

"Hmm. Does it really matter. If I do end up like you guys, then I know that you all will be with me. And not leave me all alone. Right?" She smiled at him.

"Yea." He chuckled. And let go of the embrace. "Bye." He said in such a serious tone like nothing mattered. "Again, I am sorry of what happened at the main house."

Meanwhile

Inuyasha was listening to everything. From a near by tree. 'What the hell are they saying? I don't understand a word they are saying.'

Only after a few secondshe realized 'Huh, Kagome is getting something from that guy. What the hell is that? And what is it with this birthday thing she is talking about?' He kept wondering what Birthday meant. His mind got filled with too many questions and finally realized. 'She is coming.'

He rushed through the forest. Being faster than a human has their advantages. Once he made it to the hut he made sure that Kagome wasn't behind him. Before he entered the hut. He remembered the conversation he had with Kagome's mother.

Flashback

"HUH? What do u mean 'Did Kagome leave something?' I came to get her just now."

Inuyasha's mind was full of questions when he heard her responds. 'If Kagome isn't her then where is she? Why didn't I sense that she wasn't here in the first place?' He questioned.

Souta pass by and greeting him. "Hey Inuyasha, what's up?" he asked in such a calm way. He was wearing his pajamas and eating a bag of potato chips.

"Nothing much squirt." And gave him a soft rub on the head. Messing up his hair.

"So did sis forget something? And send you to get it for her? You want some chips?"

Inuyasha nodded and Souta handed the bag to him. Inuyasha was stuffing his mouth full of the chips.

"Souta it's time for you to go to bed. Now go to your room and you better have finished your homework!" Mrs. Higurashi exclaimed. And pointed to the stairs. Telling him to go up stairs to bed.

"Aww, mom do I have to. I mean it's early to go to sleep." He said in such a pleading tone.

She shook her head.

"Aww. Fine. Good night mom. Night Inuyasha." With that he walked up to his room.

Inuyasha placed his hands on her shoulder and said. "Don't worry.. ok.. I'll get her back!" and with that he left in a rush.

End of Flashback

"She didn't look in danger to me, she looked very happy with that guy!." He whispered to himself as he headed for the hut. "Feh, why should I care, it's not like I like care if she gets killed or anything" He sighed. ' Yea, Why should I care?

Because you do care.

Huh, Who said I did…… I only need her to collect the jewel shards!

No, you have feelings for her too. If you just need her for the jewel shards, why don't you get Kikyo?

NO I don't have feelings for her! My heart only belongs to Kikyo, and only her. I owe her my life after all she has been through. I will kill Naraku and avenge Kikyo's death! And that is final!' His arguments that he had with himself got annoying and just tried to forget about them. He opened the refixed curtain door and saw everyone wide-awake. All eyes were on him.

"So where is she? Is she coming? Is she!" Shippo asked as he got up from his bed. He hopped on Inuyasha's shoulder.

Inuyasha ignored Shippo's question and sat down. He shoved Shippo off like he was dirt or something. He did the usual; legs crossed and arms in his fire rat robe leaning against the wall. He finally spoke. "I don't know, so would you stop talking already! Damn it! I'm going to sleep."

'Oh, so now you want some sleep… Yeah right! Like I will fall for that! Something is bothering him. Like nothin' ever is. I know he saw Kagome so why is he trying to hide it?' Sango thought as she stared at the half demon.

'Poor Inuyasha, poor, poor Inuyasha. He is trying so hard to hide it, but he can't hide it for long.' The lech smirked with his perverted smile from across the room closing his eyelids and trying to fall asleep.

The little fox went to sleep after Inuyasha came into the room because he knocked him unconscious. He soon started dreaming about his treats that he would receive once he woke up.

'That bitch, she better come back soon or else she's going to get.' he thought as he waited for her to come back. He clinched his fist forming blood in his palm. He was annoyed.

Five minutes later

Kagome came into the hut quietly for no one could hear her. 'Thank goodness, I thought they would be awake, and start-asking questions like "why did u come so late? And like " where were you?" ' What she didn't know was that everyone was awake. Well most of them.

A dark shadow was looming behind her. Soon a voice said behind her. "So why did you come so late?"

She jumped and gasped "Huh, umm.." 'That's Inuyasha's voice, oh, great what am I going to tell him?'

"Yes, we would love to know. It is late and you shouldn't be walking around this late at night. You know it is not safe to walk alone at this time of hour." Miroku voice startled Kagome.

"I .um.. I woke up really late. My alarm didn't.. wake me up so I had to hurry up. That's why I came so late. I'm sorry if I worried you." She bowed her head and apologized. She placed her bag on the ground. "I brought some new stuff though." she smiled nervously at them.

"Really, like what?" Miroku asked curiously because her world had so many new technologies he hadn't heard of yet.

"I brought my boom box, a small portable DVD player, some movies, CD's, Chocolate, some food, PSP, Candy, a Sandwich, potato chips…and I…think that's about it." She pulled out everything out of her bag to show them how it looked like.

Inuyasha wasn't interested with any of the things that she brought. His concern was why did Kagome lied, like she did just now. 'She made her mother cry out of concern and she isn't telling the truth. This isn't like her. She didn't wake up late. I was right there and her room was empty. Instead she was with some guy.' He left the room without a word and sat up on the roof of the hut.

He layed up on the roof top. He had his hands behind his head. "I will find out eventually, you know.. Humph!" he whispered and sighed. 'If you are in trouble. Why don't you tell me. You know I'll help you, Kagome. But you don't say anything to me, then how I am I suppose to help .' he turned over to his side and tried to over hear their conversation in the hut.

Back in the hut after Inuyasha left, Kagome was furious at him. Here she was willing to spend time in his era. And what does he do.. He gets angry for no reason! She tried to contain her anger and respond to his actions in a calm, civilized manner. "What's wrong with him! Is he too stubborn to say "hi" or something! Argh!" Kagome noticed that he was mad. 'I hope I didn't get him mad at me? So she thought, 'That stubborn guy… I'll make him pay later.'

"I don't know. Something probably is because usually he is always mad at something or someone." Miroku responded while looking through her stuff. He was amazed about everything he saw. ' So small and yet has so many small things inside to make it work.' "hmmm."

Sango heard the commotion and thought that it was time for her to wake up too. She tried to make the most fakest wake up thing. She stood up and walked over to her. "Kagome, you're back." Sango hugged her dearest friend. .

"Hey Sango." She hugged her back.

Then released her from the embrace. "I thought that you wouldn't come back, since Inuyasha went to your era and didn't bring you back."

"What do you mean, He came to my time?" She walked back and in a confused way.

"Yeah, he did. You mean…you didn't see him? I thought you guys had a fight in your era. Well I think, but he came back very angry." She questioned Kagome's responds.

"No, I thought Inuyasha was here?" she said in a normal tone. 'Oh, great he will probably ask why I wasn't home, great! Maybe that is what he is mad about? He might already knew that I lied. How am I going to explain!' she yelled in her mind.

"Well it doesn't matter. We'll ask him later. When he is not so…tense." Sango laughed.

"Yea, you're right. But, I a-am kind of tired, so I am going to sleep for a while, ok?" She looked at everyone and said, "Good night." Getting away from everyone was the only thing that she could do. She couldn't tell the truth, because they wouldn't ever understand what she has been going through.

She went through the hall and into her room. 'Shit is Bananas B-A-N-A-N-A-S, this shit is bananas B-A-N-A-N-A-S! agh… I can't get that song out of my head. But how am I going to convince B-A-N-A-N-A-S! Inuyasha that I was in my time when I really wasn't? Inuyasha isn't going to just believe me. Not after I lied in front of him. He never believes in me.' She sighed.

'Everything I think about always reverts back to my childhood. I want to forget about it! But how can I forget about it! When it always haunts me.' She couldn't help but to think about her stupid past. She didn't want anyone to find out. Regret soon fell to her again and she burst into tears. "I can't sob help it sob it hurts so much." Kagome cried for hours. Soon, she curled up into a ball and stayed like that throughout the whole night. Her eyelids got heavy and soon she fell asleep in dried up tears. All the pain and beating haunted her throughout the night. Something that she wanted to forget but can never be forgotten.

Meanwhile else where

A young man searching through the hallways of his house. "Hitori! Hitori are you here!" The young man said as he entered his room "Damn, guess not." He was just about to leave until he saw someone in the dark.

A dark figure lurked in the room and spoke, "What brings you here, Yoji? I thought you were going to be with Kagome?" the man said as he sat on his chair. "It is late you know, and you know how your father gets when you come at this time of night." The man looked quiet young as well. He wore a white lab coat. Dirty dark brown hair. (a/n not dirty, dirty. Just really dark brown hair.) One piece of his hair covered left eye. He was quiet pale, but always serious. He had maroon eye color.

"Yeah, yeah, I know so would you stop annoying me Hitori!" he reentered his room. He slammed the door. He was sure ticked off.

"So what did you want to talk about? I noticed you are mad about something or is that how you are?" he sighed. "Why don't you talk about it? I can help you know." The man serious expression never changed. It still stayed the same. Like he had no happiness in his life. "I thought that you were going to tell her how you felt. I mean it is only-" he couldn't finish what he was going to say because Yoji grabbed hold of his voice. Yoji's hand glowed a bright yellow color and formed a fist on the side of him.

"Would you listen to me first. Once you start talking you never stop!" He said in an angry tone. Hitori nodded as Yoji let go of his fist that contained his voice. "You see, I couldn't…I, mean, I wanted to…but I….I couldn't.." he chuckled "I guess I was…too chicken of what her answer was going to be." He lowered his head as in defeat. "she would never love me. Why would she? She would prefer someone better than me. Someone who---" He couldn't continue on. He didn't want to. The pain would come back. He was too chicken to even admit his feelings to her.

"What would she say if you told her? She's known you for mostly all her life. You helped her in the most difficult time of her life you know." He walked towards the young man and placed his hand on his shoulder.

Yoji raised his head.

"She is the same as you, both of you have the same fate. So do I, and the rest of this family. It only makes sense that you and her are together. But if you do the wrong thing…it can also harm her." He walked down to his desk.

"What are you talking about?" he sighed and looked back.

Opened up one of his blue binders. And scattered through some papers. Looking for something. "You should know, that if 4 elements shows…then she has feeling for you too. The staff of light will appear and soon she would pass out." He still scattered through some of his papers "Here it is," He whispered to himself. "it is the only way to show her feelings, without words. Even if it does hurt her. If she can't say how she feels then they will say it for her."

Yoji turned around and walked around the room. "I'll tell her soon. Maybe tomorrow, if I am not too tired." Yoji yawned and walked towards the door. Sliding it and said, "Good night Hitori and thanks." He smiled at him

Hitori could only smile after that. "you don't need to thank me." He whispered as Yoji was about to leave his room. 'Even if your father hates her, she was the first to take control of what could have killed her. Even in the past you helped her. You taught her what she needed to know of her family.' Then he realized. "Yoji, wait!"

"Huh? What is it?" He noticed that Hitori was terrified. The paper that he held in his hands. What was it that terrified him?

The paper that he held in his hands was what he was concerned about. 'My goodness! What this can't be!' he couldn't speak. He kept choking on his words. "Yoji. Remember.. that day when Kagome came?"

"Yeah, why? Is something the matter? If there is you better tell me now!" Yoji started to shake him.

"The test… the test results. They are…" he stammered

"WHAT! Tell me NOW!" He yanked the paper away from him. "What that fu-reak! This is wrong." he read more of the test result. "she can't! Hitori. Tell me this is a mistake! She can't."

"I am afraid there is no mistake. It is permanent to her now. There is nothing we can do." he stared the wooden floor. "I am sorry, Yoji." he looked at him. 'this is going to be a big shock to her too. Hiei… you didn't have to do this to her. Kagome.. I am truly sorry this had to happen to you.' he sighed and looked at the ceiling. While Yoji was still in a shock of the news, he had received.
