Background Info: Kagome goes home, at 17years of age, for a week or so, to collect supplies for her journeys and to study for her final exam. Upon her return she finds Kikyo and Inuyasha in a passionate embrace which seems to have no ending. After looking at Inuyasha, Kagome unwillingly realized that Kikyo has won and there was no more room in his heart for her devotion and/or love. Regrettably she returns home never to return although keeping her part of the sacred jewel as a reminder of the times she longed for again. About eight months later she gives birth to twins and 15 years later our story begins. Spoils: Need to Know the Characters (Kagome, Sango, Kikyo, Inuyasha, Miroku, Sesshoumaru, Sota, Kohaku, Naraku, Koga, and Shippo) Authors Notes: (This is my very first fan fic so bare with me. I hope you like itï. First I would like to give a shout out to my friends Natsumi Ookami and Kiyoshiko Yukiinu for inspiring me and I highly suggest you read their fan fics. They will also be a couple of characters in my story.)
Chapter 1: A Bad Start
"Hey, wait up Idiot!" Screamed a boy, who at the time, was running to catch up to a group of giggling girls.
"Run faster," a girl retorted sarcastically, as he caught up.
"Bitch," he said exhaustedly, low under his breath. But not low enough.
"Yasuo, how dare you! Have you no respect for your own sister, jerk? You should be ashamed! If mother were to hear you, you would be grounded before you can say 'I'm sorry,'" advised his sister, eyes now glowing red in anger.
"Oh come on Kane. Cut your brother some slack," said her friend, Kiyoshiko, who Yasuo has had a crush on sense the fifth grade. (Kane, Yasuo, and Kiyoshiko are all in the tenth grade. Both Kane and Yasuo are 15 years old while Kiyoshiko is 17 years old.) "What did you need," she said being the only one keeping her cool.
"Why should I cut him any slack, and why are you taking his side in this!" exclaimed an outraged Kane.
"You forgot your books, smart one," Yasuo answered lamely. Forgetful no nothing twit, she'd forget her head if it weren't connected.
"Oh. Umm thank you," Kane said now embarrassed, "Which one did I forget?" No wonder my bag is so light. Wondered why. She thought to her self.
"Let's see: English, Health, Algebra 2, Reading, World Cultures..." he listed while rummaging through a bag sitting on the floor. (Both Kane and Yasuo are whiz kids at school; they skipped a couple grades, and take almost all honor classes, taking after their mother. Although their attitude is very much like their father's)
"What, I couldn't have forgotten all of them," she said while rummaging through her own bag. Then with a sigh she took the books and put them away.
"Shit, we're going to be late," Kane said suddenly looking at her watch.
Brrriiiinnngg, Brriiiinnngg
"Forget that. We are late," corrected Kiyoshiko, hearing the bell. How did it get so late? She pondered to herself. Everyone was so intent on the subject at hand that no one saw the girl bolting up behind them obviously late as well. So intent that before they knew it Kiyoshiko was on the ground with the wind knocked out of her.
BANG!!
"What t-the hell was that?" Kiyoshiko screamed, "Huh, Natsumi? What are you doing here?" (I'll let you know now I don't have it that Kiyoshiko curses. She is usually one to keep her cool. Its usually only characters like Inuyasha, Kane, Yasuo, and the occasional 'Bad Guy' like Naraku, that curse non stop)
"I'm soooo sorry," the girl said now hustling to collect fallen books and/or papers. Ohhh I'm such a klutz. What's wrong with me? Wait, didn't she ask me something? "Oh yes, I'm fine," she said looking up now scared, "Ki-yo-shi-ko?"
"Yasuo, have you met my annoying little sister, Natsumi?" Kiyoshiko asked noticing the confused boy next to her.
"Umm, no I haven't. How old are you?" he asked realizing a stretch of years between the two sisters.
"I'm ten. Oh, hi Kane," she said as turned around. Kane and Kiyoshiko have been friends sense the third grade so Natsumi knows her well. "You guys late as well?"
"U-huh, someone didn't hear the alarm this morning," Yasuo said with obvious sarcasm. "Cough-Kane-Cough."
"Ha Ha Ha, very funny. We're soooo amused. I happen to remember a small boy who through his alarm clock out the window, and broke it!"
"At least I took responsibility for my actions," he snapped back.
"Yah, you blamed it on the cat," she stated with a glare that said don't even go there. Kane and Yasuo always fight like cats and dogs. They always try to top each other in everything from their homework to being the first to answer the phone.
"We're here," stated Yasuo trying to ignore the last comment. In front of them stood an enormous building about 8 stories in height. Small trees and some scattered bushes only surrounded the building. "They say that they're going to let the students plant the rest of the gardening. I guess it's to celebrate the opening of the school. Big deal, so we are the first guinea pigs to ever step foot at Shikon No Tama High School. What do they expect us to do, be thankful for going to a top of the line torture chamber? Huh, where is everyone," he said as he noticed he was alone.
"Stop complaining. Are you coming or not?" yelled Kane over her shoulder, "Hmmm, I wonder where the main office is."
"There it is, over there," yelled Kiyoshiko pointing to the right. "This place looks like snobs-hill."
"No kidding!" agreed her little sister. "Might as well go in and face their wrath."
They walked in and found a mad house. Phones were ringing, papers were being shuffled, and people were running madly about in circles. You couldn't move an inch with out getting ran over by the speeding traffic. It seemed as if time its self had sped up. "I can help you over here," came a voice that ringed throughout the room.
The overwhelmed group found the one whom the voice had come from and approached the desk cautiously. "Umm, yes, a-a we're late,"
"Well yes I can see that," said the woman sharply. "Fill out your slips and I expect to see you in my office tomorrow. 3:00p.m. Sharp and DON'T BE LATE THIS TIME. Do you think you can handle that? And maybe you well learn the meaning of responsibility. I except a paragraph on the importance of being on time from each of you. It had better be done by tomorrow or you well stay longer to finish it. In addition each of your parents well be notified of your lack of respect for this school's rules"
"Yes Ms Leiko," they chorused, referring to her nametag.
[That afternoon]
"What!" Cried a distressed middle age woman, who was on the phone and obviously outraged. The woman was very beautiful and had a very business tone to her. Her black hair was pulled back into a perfect bun and her navy blue suit brought out her rich brown eyes giving her a sophisticated appeal. Out of the corner of her eye she saw Kane, Yasuo, and their friends walk up the temple steps. After a few more words on the phone she walked up to the group eyes glaring. "Kiyoshiko, Natsumi, I think its time you went home. I have to talk to my delinquent children. Kane, Yasuo, come here please," she advised, "NOW!!!"
"Hey, good luck," Kiyoshiko whispered as they were leaving.
"Thanks. I have a strange feeling that we'll need it." Kane said nervously with a gulp. Both Kane and Yasuo approached their mother cautiously and slowly. Who knows what they should expect from the wrath of their mother? "Do you know what we did wrong?" She asked her brother trying to prepare her self.
"No. You?" said Yasuo.
"No clue, but I bet it was your fault," Retorted Kane.
"Is not."
"Is to."
"Is not."
"Is to."
"Is not."
"Is to!"
"Is not!"
"Is to!"
"Is not!"
"Is not."
"Is to!"
"Is not."
"YES IT IS! So there!" Yasuo yelled.
"Your right. It's your fault. I should have never doubted you. But you don't have to be so hard on yourself," Kane said sarcastically and started walked ahead.
"Humph, about time you got it," he said proudly, "Hey wait a minute." But by this time their mother was already at their side getting even more annoyed at their little argument.
"Excuse me. Do you mind if I interrupt and if so TO BAD." Shouted their mother eyes wide and twitching out of frustration. "I just got of the phone with Mrs. Leiko who is in charge of detentions and tardiness. Can you imagine what she told me about you two?"
"That we're wonderful children and deserve to be rewarded with new wardrobes?" Kane put in.
"TWO DETENTIONS AND A TARDIE ON THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL. I MUST SAY, THAT HAS TO BE A NEW RECORD. WHAT WERE YOU TWO THINKING? YOU TWO ARE SOO GROUNDED. 3 WEEKS, AND THAT'S FINAL. NO PHONE, TV, FRIENDS, PARTIES, AND OUTDOORS. BASICALLY ALL YOUR PRIVEGLES AND COMUNICATION TO THE OUTSIDE WORLD ARE OUT OF THE QUESTION. DO MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?" The angry mother yelled at the top of her voice.
Gulp. "Crystal," chorused the two children choosing their words carefully. "Umm, does that mean I can't go to Kiyoshiko's party this weekend?" Kane added uncertainly.
"NOOOOOO, GO TO YOUR ROOMES. NOW!!!" She screamed fed up.
Like lighting they were out of sight. "Kagome. Oh hi. Your daughter forgot this last weekend when she stayed over. I just grounded Kiyoshiko and Natsumi so I had to bring it myself." explained a woman who is obviously is Kiyoshiko's and Natsumi's mother.
"Thank you Carol. I had to ground Kane and Yasuo as well. Although I can't really say anything, I was just like them when I was young. I don't mean the attitude. They get that from their father no questions asked. But I did my fare share of high school blues," Kagome sighed. That's right when I would travel back and forth through the well to the feudal era to visit all my friends: Sango, Miroku, Kaeda, oh ya, and Shippo, and Kirara, and Inu. . . She thought with a pained look on her face.
"Hey are you alright? You look like the titanic just drowned. Is there anything I can do to help?" Her worried friend asked.
"What oh, no," she said with a noticeable fake grin.
Both mothers were to involved in their conversation that they didn't notice the figure hiding in the shadows listening intently. "Umm, you never mentioned you husband before. If you don't mind, what was he like," her friend asked carefully not wanting to upset Kagome even more.
Kagome flinched and seemed hesitant to answer. Then with a pained grin she answered, "He wasn't my husband. He was in love with his Ex girlfriend still and didn't have room in his heart for even my friendship. Not to mention his ex girlfriend tried to slaughter me on a few different occasions."
"SHE TRIED TO WHAT! DIDN'T HE EVEN TRY TO STOP HER!"
"No I'm sure he didn't even know. For the most part he couldn't see past the end of his nose. To be truthful he wasn't the best at the heart. He was a lying fucking bastard. He would yell and shout at me and tell me I was a worthless little human. Constantly he would ignore my presence. But when he wasn't being such a jerk he was sweet and almost kind. He would protect me and at times treat me with respect," Kagome said with a daydream look to her face. Wait did I say that out loud. What am I doing?
"You still love him don't you? Do Kane and Yasuo know about their father? Have you told them what had happened to him?" Carol asked. Please say yes.
"No. I didn't want to put them through any additional pain. That's one reason they shall never meet face to face. It's to dangerous and all it will do is cause dying pain," She said. "Huh? Who is there?" she said noticing they weren't alone, "Show yourself!" [View of a girl in tears.] "KANE!"
"WHY? WHY?" Kane screamed.
"Kane wait," her mother said as she started over the girl. "You don't under...." But before she could finish Kane had already ran off leaving only drops of tears behind. "KANE!"
"What's going on mom?" Yasuo yelled, "What's with all the screaming?"
"Kane has ran off."
"WHAT? We have to go after her! Which way did she go?"
But before anyone could answer Kagome said, "Leave her alone for a bit. Let her think. If she doesn't come back by midnight we'll go look for her."
"But. But." Argued Yasuo.
"Carol, maybe you should go home. We'll be fine."
"But, Well ok. Please, though, call me if you have to go out and search. The girls and I well help." Carol reasoned.
"Alright. We promise."
As the hours rolled by everyone grew tenser. What in the hell is going on? Where is Kane and why did she run of like that? What in the world could mom had said to make her so upset. AND WHY IN HELL ISN'T ANY ONE TELLING ME ANYTHING. I think I have a right to know what happened and where my sister is. Thought Yasuo to himself. Where are you Sis? Please be ok. More hours pasted by until the clock stroke midnight.
"Yasuo I'm going to start a search now. Are you coming?" Kagome yelled from behind the door.
"It's about time. Of course I want to come. What kind of brother do you think I am?" He yelled back answering her question.
Ring, Ring, Ring.
"I'll get it," cried a girl anxiously. "Hello, Yukiinu residence. Kiyoshiko speaking."
"Hello Kiyoshiko. Tell your mom to meet me at my temple to discuss a search plan. Got all that?" Kagome said.
"Yes, we'll be right over!" Kiyoshiko answered anxiously. "Good Bye." She said closing the conversation. "MOM, NATSUMI, THE SEARCH IS ON. WE'RE SUPOSE TO MEET AT THE TEMPLE IN 15MINITUTES."
"COMING."
"COMING."
In no time everyone was assembled at the temple. It was decided that Natsumi and Kiyoshiko would go and look around the park and the school. Kagome took the business section of town and Carol took the shopping district. Yasuo decided to go alone and explore downtown where the allies were.
Hour after Hour they searched desperately for the one they all loved. Unknown to the rest of the group Yasuo was very close to finding his goal and he knew that. He turned down allies after allies seeming to know where he was heading. Or not. He turned another corner and found a dead end. But that didn't stop him. For, he some how opened a secret door and went in. It was like a small clubhouse. It had an old couch siting in one corner, a small table with a lighted candle on it, and a couple of beanbag chairs. It looked like a teen's get away with no rules or anyone to bother them. Tucked away in the corner was the body of Kane. Cuddled up peacefully, and wrapped in a blanket. "Hey Kane you alright. Humph, asleep huh. Figures. You probably had a rough time." Yasuo reasoned. So he plopped down beside her and turned on his CD player.
"Yasuo. What are you doing here?" Kane said with a great yawn.
"Same as you. Trying to get away from the outside world. Not to mention Mom sent me out to look for you. Everyone is out looking for you: Mom, Carol, Kiyoshiko, Natsumi, everyone. But I only really knew where you would go so here I am." Yasuo explained. RING, RING, RING. Came from the cell-phone on his hip. "Yes, Yasuo here."
"Have you found Kane?" Came their mother's voice, which was loud enough even for Kane to hear. Kane shook her head as if to say no and apparently Yasuo got the message.
"No I haven't found her yet. I'll call if I do." Yasuo lied. Kane looked at him in thanks as he hung up the phone.
"Thank you."
"No problem. After all, you are my sister. Now why don't you tell me what happened? Had to be bad if you ran off. You're the one who can handle anything after all," Yasuo said curiously. What happened? I'm dying to know.
"No one told you?"
"Not a fucking word."
"Ok. But you won't like it."
"I don't care. Just tell me."
"Alright but curiosity killed the cat," Kane advised.
"JUST TELL ME."
"Mom was talking to Kiyoshiko's mom and somehow they got to the subject of dad. I didn't catch it all, but mom knows where dad is. She was saying it was too dangerous for us to see him and that she is purposely keeping us away from him. She said all it would bring was pain. Bullshit, not knowing is what brings us pain. We have that stupid field covered," Kane explained now in tears. "She said we would never meet face to face, NEVER! Why does she get to decide that? We have a right to see our father when we damned well want to. This is so fucking stupid. Why do we have to fallow every little thing she says? What ever happened to independence? It's in the stupid pledge for crying out loud. She isn't God. She doesn't get to boss us around like we're babies." She managed to say through her sobs.
"Hey take it easy. Crying won't help even if it makes you feel better. Hey, maybe we can do some research on him and find out what happened," Yasuo suggested.
"That would be great if mom didn't keep her maiden name. Hey lets run away for a bit. It'll be pretty easy and all we need is your cell," Kane said mischievously.
"I'm listening," Yasuo answered. And they put their plan into work.

She thought with a pained look on her face.
"Hey are you alright? You look like the titanic just drowned. Is there anything I can do to help?" Her worried friend asked.
"What oh, no," she said with a noticeable fake grin.

More hours pasted by until the clock stroke midnight.
"Yasuo I'm going to start a search now. Are you coming?" Kagome yelled from behind the door.
"It's about time. Of course I want to come. What kind of brother do you think I am?" He yelled back answering her question.
Ring, Ring, Ring.
"I'll get it," cried a girl anxiously. "Hello, Yukiinu residence. Kiyoshiko speaking."
"Hello Kiyoshiko. Tell your mom to meet me at my temple to discuss a search plan. Got all that?" Kagome said.
"Yes, we'll be right over!" Kiyoshiko answered anxiously. "Good Bye." She said closing the conversation. "MOM, NATSUMI, THE SEARCH IS ON. WE'RE SUPOSE TO MEET AT THE TEMPLE IN 15MINITUTES."
"COMING."
"COMING."
In no time everyone was assembled at the temple. It was decided that Natsumi and Kiyoshiko would go and look around the park and the school. Kagome took the business section of town and Carol took the shopping district. Yasuo decided to go alone and explore downtown where the allies were.
Hour after Hour they searched desperately for the one they all loved. Unknown to the rest of the group Yasuo was very close to finding his goal and he knew that. He turned down allies after allies seeming to know where he was heading. Or not. He turned another corner and found a dead end. But that didn't stop him. For, he some how opened a secret door and went in. It was like a small clubhouse. It had an old couch siting in one corner, a small table with a lighted candle on it, and a couple of beanbag chairs. It looked like a teen's get away with no rules or anyone to bother them. Tucked away in the corner was the body of Kane. Cuddled up peacefully, and wrapped in a blanket. "Hey Kane you alright. Humph, asleep huh. Figures. You probably had a rough time." Yasuo reasoned. So he plopped down beside her and turned on his CD player.
"Yasuo. What are you doing here?" Kane said with a great yawn.
"Same as you. Trying to get away from the outside world. Not to mention Mom sent me out to look for you. Everyone is out looking for you: Mom, Carol, Kiyoshiko, Natsumi, everyone. But I only really knew where you would go so here I am." Yasuo explained. RING, RING, RING. Came from the cell-phone on his hip. "Yes, Yasuo here."
"Have you found Kane?" Came their mother's voice, which was loud enough even for Kane to hear. Kane shook her head as if to say no and apparently Yasuo got the message.
"No I haven't found her yet. I'll call if I do." Yasuo lied. Kane looked at him in thanks as he hung up the phone.
"Thank you."
"No problem. After all, you are my sister. Now why don't you tell me what happened? Had to be bad if you ran off. You're the one who can handle anything after all," Yasuo said curiously. What happened? I'm dying to know.
"No one told you?"
"Not a fucking word."
"Ok. But you won't like it."
"I don't care. Just tell me."
"Alright but curiosity killed the cat," Kane advised.
"JUST TELL ME."
"Mom was talking to Kiyoshiko's mom and somehow they got to the subject of dad. I didn't catch it all, but mom knows where dad is. She was saying it was too dangerous for us to see him and that she is purposely keeping us away from him. She said all it would bring was pain. Bullshit, not knowing is what brings us pain. We have that stupid field covered," Kane explained now in tears. "She said we would never meet face to face, NEVER! Why does she get to decide that? We have a right to see our father when we damned well want to. This is so fucking stupid. Why do we have to fallow every little thing she says? What ever happened to independence? It's in the stupid pledge for crying out loud. She isn't God. She doesn't get to boss us around like we're babies." She managed to say through her sobs.
"Hey take it easy. Crying won't help even if it makes you feel better. Hey, maybe we can do some research on him and find out what happened," Yasuo suggested.
"That would be great if mom didn't keep her maiden name. Hey lets run away for a bit. It'll be pretty easy and all we need is your cell," Kane said mischievously.
"I'm listening," Yasuo answered. And they put their plan into work.
