Ok last time I forgot the Dun, dun, dun… DISCLAIMER! I do not own the Inu or Yu Yu characters. But I do own mine (my characters) & everything ALL the characters say and do.

Now I. WILL. WARN. YOU. NOW. I am VERY new to being an author so reviews ARE very much appreciated. In fact, contact or acknowledgement of any kind is welcome! So are ideas, which I seem to be out of.

So without further adieu… my 2nd chapter!

Chapter 2

Say What?

They walked back in silence. 'What happened' thought Kagome. 'Why weren't they there? Where were they anyhow? What happened to the village?' Kagome was sad, confused, angry, &…well…in shock! "Kagome?", said a small voice, startling her out of her daze. "Yes Shippo." she said gently. "Well, uh, you looked…off…for a second there, & uh, I, uh, just didn't want, uh, you t-to f-fall or, uh, anything." Nervousness laced his aura & had Kagome worried. "Shippo?" "Y-you just tend to t-trip on stuff." He added lamely, looking away. Kagome took a look at everyone else. They refused to make eye-contact.

"Um, guys?" She said with a wavering voice, hoping sincerely it didn't quit on her, "What's going on here? None's looking at me or talking to me & I'm really worried! The village has been attacked & we're not doing anything about it & you guys are just off in another world! Where Were You & Why Weren't You Here?" At this time Kagome was crying.

Miroku slowly chanced looking at her face & caved instantly, deciding they couldn't keep her in the dark much longer. "Lady Kagome, please calm down.", said the monk quietly. "Let us get to the village first & sit down before we discuss the days' activities. I'm sure we're all a bit upset & some rest is just the thing that will calm us down & keep us sane."

"Feh, Kagome don't be such a baby! We told you already that we'd tell you at Kaede's hut."

Trust Inuyasha to fan the flames of a bonfire. Well this time he was gonna get burned.

"Inuyasha, it was MIROKU who told me. Not YOU or Sango or even Shippo!" Kagome was livid. He was not getting away with this. "I would expect my friends to let me in on what's going on or at least give me some reassurance!" She was crying again but she couldn't bring herself to care. "Inuyasha, Sango, Miroku, Shippo, tell me now what happened… Please."

"Feh, you think I'm gonna listen to you WENCH! Well I'm not so don't even bother!" With that said he jumped off into the forest, probably to sulk in the God Tree.

Sango saw the state of her best friend/sister and every bit of guilt she was feeling broke down her carefully constructed dam. She had to do something. Kagome didn't deserve this. Shakily she said, "Kagome? D-don't worry about him, he's just being Inuyasha a-and you-" "Just tell me what happened Sango. It's the least you could do.", interjected an almost soulless sounding Kagome.

Now they were scared. Miroku broke the silence, took a deep breath & prayed Kagome would understand. "I think we should start with Kikyo."

Kagome took a breath of her own & found herself unable to let it out. 'Kikyo?' she thought brokenly. "G-go on Mir-Miroku."

Sango reached over and held Kagome's hand. "Kagome, we don't have to do this now. We can wait till you're ready to hear this. It's too much too soon."

"No! I need to hear this. To understand…Please c-continue Miroku." He paused and she took a moment to gather her thoughts. 'Tell me why you left the village. Tell me what that b wanted that cost the lives of the villagers. Tell me what alienated my own friends from me. Tell me why none of you will look at me, why Inuyasha treated me like a disease. You ALL owe me that much!'

Okay! Another chapter under the belt, so whadda ya think? I know some of you are wondering why Inuyasha was so "worried" in the first chapter but didn't seem to give a flip in this one. That will be unveiled in chpt 3. Anyway, read and review. (And tell me if any of the characters seem OCC ok?) I have a grand total of… OMG! 1 whole review, from my friend who flippin' uploaded this chapter for me! If I don't get some reviews I might discontinue the story. But if it's so bad that none reviews then that's kind of a good thing huh? Oh well. I'll leave it at this. Just don't leave me in the dark!

Love, your esteemed authoress,
