Kagome woke up to a 'thunk!' as she fell out of bed. "Ugh… my head…" She turned her head to the clock. I was supposed to meet Inuyasha at the well 15 minuets ago… Oh well, I guess he'll just have to wait a little longer. She thought as she changed into her shirt. "Kagome! Inuyasha's here for you!" Her mother called. "Hang on, I'll be there in a second!" Kagome yelled back.

She quickly tied on her shoes, and ran to the bathroom to brush her hair. As she looked in the mirror, she noticed something. Her skin was… paler? It was almost snow white. She stepped back in shock as her elbow knocked something down. Hmm? It echoed as it dropped to the floor. Kagome already knew what it was, it was the only picture of her father in the house. She'd asked her mother so many times what he was like, but she never answered. She kneeled down to the ground picking up the picture, checking it for scratches. I almost forgot this was here… Perhaps I should ask Mom… One last time? But she paused, and thought about the last time she asked her mother, she was only 11 years old.

(Flash Back)

"Mother, who's this guy?" A young Kagome said holding up a picture.

She remembered her mother, the hateful look in her eyes. "Where'd you get that?! Put it back!" Her Mother was about to rip it out of Kagome's hands. But Her grandma, at least when she was alive, stopped her.

"She just wants to know who he is, it won't harm anyone." She said softly.

Her mother hesitated, then, after a moment, spoke. "Your Dad. He's your father."

"My father? What was he like? Did he look like me at all? Did he-"

Her Mother snatched the picture out of her hands before she could finish. "No more. I won't have any more of it. He's dead, and he's gone." She put it high on a shelf where Kagome couldn't reach.

"It was just a-"

"If I hear another word about your father again, your in big trouble!!" After hearing that Kagome quickly ran upstairs.

"Don't frighten her. She's still just a kid, she deserves to know." Her grandmother said again, just as softly as the last time.

"DON'T YOU START! We're lucky she didn't inherit that, that thing!! You know what would happen!" Her Mother yelled.

"Well, what if she did? Would she be a disgrace? Would you just throw her out in the snow? Tell me, would you really think that little girl would be a monster?!"

Kagome's mother turned her head around, and stomped ragingly away.

Kagome remembered overhearing the conversation from upstairs, and she sobbed and wept. 'I've never heard mom talk like that before… What was wrong with him…? What happened…?' She thought quietly, but that just made her cry more. She heard footsteps approaching, luckily, they were her grandmothers.

She put an arm around her shoulder. Kagome shoved it back. "I heard that… Why doesn't mom tell me?!" "She's just trying to protect you, trying to help." "Oh, yeah, and that's what she calls HELP?!" Kagome cried. Her grandmother puased, then continued.

"Your father wasn't a bad man, he was just… Different, from other people. Special, in a way. It's not you, or your mothers fault." Kagome took her head out of her knees and hugged her grandmother. That was all she remembered of that day, a few months later, her grandmother would die. And in another few months, her brother, Sota, would be born.

(Flash Back Ending)

Kagome gulped. I'm still going to ask. She ran down the stairs. "Kagome, Inuyasha's been waiting for a while, you should hurry!" Her Mom said smiling as usual. "Don't worry Mom, but I have to ask you…" "What?" Her mom said still grinning. Kagome held out the picture. Her Mom's smile turned into a false stern-looking face.

"For the last time Kagome, your father will not be discussed in our home." "What? Are you scared to tell me? Am I a threat?" Her Mom filched. "Kagome… give me that photo. Now." Kagome didn't listen. "No. Not until you tell me!" "I said, now Kagome!" "No way!" Kagome ran out the door past Inuyasha.

"Hey!" Inuyasha yelled as she zoomed past him. "Let's go!" Kagome shouted as ran. They got to the well rather quickly, Inuyasha help Kagome into the well with her bags. "Hey, Kagome…" Inuyasha started. "What is it?" She asked. "You get into a fight with your Mom, or something? I heard yelling." Kagome sweat dropped, then laughed like she had no idea what he was talking about. "Oh, it was nothing really. I'm fine!" She said as they both jumped into the well.

"Hey, Kagome's back!" She heard Shippo yell in the distance. Inuyasha helped Kagome out of the well. "Wow, you brought a lot more stuff than last time." Sango said looking at the size of the bag. Kagome's face turned red. She didn't realize she packed that much. "Mother must have packed extra."

Shippo remembered something. "Hey, did you bring the-" "Yes Shippo, I brought your snack." She said handing him a lollipop. "Wow, this is big!" He said surprised. Kagome smiled, then stopped. "Oh…" "What?" Shippo asked licking his lollipop. "I promised Kaede I'd help her garden… I'll be back later." And with that, she left. (didn't she just get there?)

………………………………................................................................................................Kaede's garden………………………………...................................

Kagome wondered about until she saw Kaede. She was weeding her plants. "Ah, Kagome. Back so soon?" Kaede said as she pulled out another weed. "Actually, I'm late… Not to mention school." Kagome said disappointed. "Can I help you with anything?" Kaede stopped to think, then said "Over there. You can help me gather the fruits."

Oh great… A dirty job. Kaede gave her a basket, and she started to gather. "This stuff must be hard." Kagome thought aloud. "What makes you say that?" Kaede said standing up. "In my time, we buy everything from stores. Sometimes we have gardens though." "Everything? That's ridiculous. You can't get everything from one place." Kaede said amused. "Well, most of our stuff anyway." Kagome said picking up an onion.

It was by the time Kagome dropped it in the basket that she realized it stung so badly. She yelped, and dropped it on the ground. Her hand started to bleed. WHAT THE?! I've never had this kind of reaction to an onion before!! "Kagome! What happened to your hand?!" Kaede said shocked as soon as she realized the blood. "I don't really know… It just stung my hand, and it started to bleed…" Kaede took a piece of cloth and cleaned the wound, then she bandaged it.

"That's enough for now." Kaede said. "Huh? But I've only collected seven! There's still a lot more to go!" Kagome said trying help. "No, no. I can do it myself. It's fine, you go find Inuyasha and the others. I'm sure their waiting for you." Kaede insisted. Is it really alright…? Well, I guess if she wants me to, but… Instead Kagome just smiled. "Thank you." Was all she said.

Kagome found Inuyasha in the same tree he was always in. I bet he's thinking of Kikyo… She remembered the time when Kikyo had tied her to a tree, and stole her jewel shards (Not to mention the fact she had given them to Naraku.). It made her wonder how a man could possibly love a women like that… It made her feel unwanted, and lonely. But she kept these feelings locked up. But then a strange feeling took over. She wanted to do something really cruel to Inuyasha.

"Sit boy." Inuyasha fell out of the tree, and onto the ground. "WHAT WAS THAT FOR?!" He yelled. "I was bored." Kagome said walking away. "YOU MADE ME FALL OUT OF A TREE BECAUSE IT-" "Sit boy." Kagome interrupted. Inuyasha smashed into the ground again. A smirk appeared on Kagome's face. "Sorry Inuyasha. Just having fun." Inuyasha grumbled, and got off the ground.

"I'm going to bed." Kagome yawed. "But Lady Kagome, it's only mid-day. Why sleep?" Miroku asked. "Why not?" Kagome said grabbing her bag. "I'm gonna go sleep in a cave…" "A cave?! Lady Kagome are you feeling alright?" Miroku put his hand on Kagome's forehead. It's freezing cold-! "Um, can you get your hand off my head please?" Kagome requested. Miroku took his hand off, and wondered. She's freezing cold, and wants to sleep in a cave? How strange…

After a couple hours, it was nighttime and Kagome was awake. The only problem was… She couldn't fall back asleep. She took out her picture of her father. He had black hair, just like Kagome. And very pale skin too. I wonder why Mom hated him so much… She thought putting it back.

It was a full moon that night. Kagome decided if she couldn't start to fall asleep, she might as well walk around. Inuyasha was sleeping with his legs crossed, and his sword in his lap like he always did. What a nice neck… Kagome sighed. WHAT THE?! INUYASHA DOESN'T HAVE A NICE NECK WHAT AM I THINKING ABOUT?!?! She stared at him again. He didn't even know she was there. Kagome smelt something odd. It was blood. And she longed for it. Her eyes turned blood red. She took a step toward him. WAIT! STOP! What are you doing Kagome?! Control your self! Your acting like a… She stared at him again. Maybe just… One bite…

Miroku was talking with Sango. "What is it?" Sango asked. "It's about Kagome… I think something is happening…" Miroku said observantly. "Her aura's changed completely, her face is cold, and her skin is pale… And she decided to sleep in a cave in midday… Sango, do you know anything about this kind of stuff?"

Sango shrugged. "The only creature I know that has those qualities are vampire-" Suddenly a scream of shock sounded through the village. It sounded like Inuyasha's. Sango and Miroku rushed outside to find Kagome, biting Inuyasha. "So Kagome is a…" "Vampire?"

Me: I hope your enjoying it so far! Don't worry, Inuyasha doesn't die or turn into a vampire. That would ruin my plotline… Sorry if you wanted him to be a vampire. I would like at least 2 comments before I continue. Only 2, that's all I ask.
