Chapter Four: Helping Others and Ourselves

Later that Day during Lunch...

"Ok Inuyasha you can think I'm insane for saying what I'm about to say but I need you to listen, but are you a recantation of a demon or are you one?"

He looked surprised acting like it was nothing, but he still nodded.

I look at him pissed, "Which one?"

When he looked up he looked surprised about the way I was staring at him with eyes that weren't scared but majorly pissed.

"I'm a half demon," he looked away when he answered, "but I'm also a recaranation of one of the strongest demons known to man. He was a dog demon that lived years ago he died saving a human that he loved."

I smile when I hear him answer me, "Well it's nice to hear that I'm not crazy and neither is Grandpa we've been told for the longest time that ghosts and demons can't exist. you know when I told my mother that it was a ghost that tripped my dad she sent me to a shrink and he just looked at me telling me it was an accident that my father had fallen on his own. I had only nodded acting like I believed him. I know that I see more things than others plus I also see hints of what is going to happen in the future. Inuyasha what would you do if you saw the day you were going to die or at least die and be brought back?"

He looked surprised by my answer but his face went back to neutral, "I think I'd make the best of it, but most of that would get me in trouble. Kagome why do you ask me these things?"

I look at him and I didn't show surprise of course he'd ask me why I keep asking him questions. I look up at him with tears remembering the pain I had felt in my spine the whole night the pain of having a knife shoved into my spine.

He brushed the tears away gently which surprised me, "Is this about the reason why you didn't' get sleep last night?"

I nod and tell him the story of what happened in my dream and about how I dint' see the face of the people that saved me, "I haven't been having visions a lot often but having two in a row just was weird." he looked confused and I blush thinking of the other dream that I had, "Well that dream was about..." I tell him about the first dream that I had where I was running around in a pretty garden that I don't think I've ever seen before, until I heard a voice of a unknown source telling me to hurry up and come with him, but before I could get to him I woke up. "That is the easy version I just wish that my mom or mom didn't wake me up I can't remember which one." I sigh and look at my feet, "Do you think I'm weird for having dreams like I do." He grabs my chin as gently as he had brushed my tears away and lightly pulls my face up to look at him, "I don't think your weird but how do you know that the dreams are real?" I look at my hands that are almost touching his stomach, "It's because when I was little I had a dream of my father dying. So you want to know the dream?" "I guess you can tell me." "Well it was the night before my father had the fall I had been having dreams for a while that came true and my father was always telling me that I should be more careful with who I tell them to but he believed me. Well the night before I was laid into my bed and tucked in by my dad and he told me a story just like any other night but than I had the nightmare.

(This is told in present tense and it flashes through her head like its happening all over again and Inuyasha seems to be seeing it as well for an odd reason)

I'm sitting at the tree by the well and it's nothing happening I'm talking to Emi like every other day. "So what do you think I should get for daddy for his birthday?" "Why do you always talk about your family lately?" I smile up at her, "Because mommy is going to have another baby and I hope that it's a boy like I saw when I touched her stomach (that's what she really saw). Daddy is getting eh extra room ready he saws I can help him wit decorating and I know just what tot put in his room. Emi I can't' wait I've been wanting someone to play with at the park, because you said you cant' leave the grounds." I looked down at my hands as she stares at me with a little hint of hatred in her eyes. Dad comes outside and sees me and no one else because even though his father and him work at the shrine and believe in the supernatural they don't' usually see any of the ones that don't' show themselves to regular humans. I haven't' told dad about Emi yet because I don't think he'd like me talking to her, but she has always been there for me because the other kids think I'm weird. I sigh when he tells me he's going into town again and will be awhile. Emi looks at me and smiles, " I think I'll get rid of one of my problems." he looks at my dad and grabs his foot when he's at the stairs taking a step I yell at out to Emi but end up just yelling, "Don't Emi I want my daddy. I want you to stop if you do this you better never come back." When I realized that Emi was gone and my father was no where in sight that I was to late. I look at the stairs and see my father at the bottom f the stairs with his neck twisted around and other parts of his body at weird angles. when I saw his head move and look at me with sad eyes I screamed as loud as I could not hearing what he said but I could see his lips form the words, "Its ok at least your ok now." a mark appeared on my right collar bone it was a water lily lie the ones we have on the pond in the back along with some bamboo we added next to it (this really did show on her right collar bone haven't shown it yet in the story because she's been wearing T-shirts the whole time or things that have been covering it)."

I sigh when I'm done telling him and he asks a question that surprised me, "Did a mark really appear on your collar bone?" I blush as I nod, "Yes, one really did show up. I had one before that one my back it's something about being a priestess of something I can't remember but it shows my right as an heir of great power and that I'm supposed to do something. My father was supposed to tell me when I turn 15 but I guess it's too late for that."

I look at my hands thinking that it's stupid that I'm scared of what he thinks. He may be a half demon but I think that I should be fine.

DO you have a problem with me being a priestess?" He sounds a bit shocked when I ask him this, "No, of course I don't I mean you don't' have a problem with me being part demon so I don't think I'll have a problem with you being a priestess.

The bell the signals students that lunch is almost over goes off and I look at him, "well I guess we should head back to class." He grumbles an agreement great he's back to the old Inuyasha. I sigh and pull him along to our class.

Middle of What's Left of the School Day...

I look over up to see the teacher but only to be staring at the back of Inuyasha's head and I sigh man I hate being a high school girl with a crush on the new tough guy. I see Miroku lean over to Inuyasha since they share a table like I share one with Sango, "Hey Inuyasha I saw you and Kagome run off during lunch were did you two go?" Sango looks at me like asking the same question so I write faster than I ever did. (' Means they wrote it and "means they're talking) 'Nothing happened I was just talking to him and showing him around the school,' Sango shrugs. "God Miroku you need to get your head out of the gutter nothing happened between me and Kagome she just showed me around the school knowing that she'd be more of a help than you."

"Oh I forgot how you two met. I sigh lucky for me I told Sango the story before I went to bed. "I saved her from getting hit by a car she twisted her ankle and I knocked my head into something so it was bleeding a little when she looked at me. Also she had me take her to the hospital."

Miroku looks back at me with surprise I guess Kikyo was right Inuyasha is not a mean person he just hates being dragged into things he doesn't want to do.

"So how's your family doing?" he looks at him like he's crazy. "Well besides my mom and dad are still dead and I'm living with my piece of shit half brother. I'm doing just fine." "Miroku laughs nervisously and I sigh thinking he's really an idiot.

Sango looks at me, "Hey are you ok?" I look at her knowing that I keep getting my pissed look out of no where but I'm so tired and that's the look I get when I'm tired and know that I shouldn't' fall asleep. "I'm just really tired." Sango looks annoyed, "Kagome I told you to wake my butt up on those nights." I sigh knowing that she's right, "I know but I didn't' want you to be tired as I am."

She looks at me with excitement back on her face, "So did your mom and grandpa agree with it?" I smile back at her, 'Yeah they said I could move in with you as soon as they pack up something's for me to have there but to keep most of my things at home." She just shrugs, "Well I have a bed and desk in that room already because my little brother was living me for awhile until my dad took him back." he voice creaks and I know what its about.

"Still no sign of him?" She nods, "Yeah, they don't know where he is. Kagome its been4 weeks and there's still no sign of him." I sigh and hug my friend, "Sango can you come over tomorrow to help me pack a few things than I can move in with you tomorrow or Wednesday?" She smiles even though it's real small.

I hear Miroku and Inuyasha talking, "Hey when are you coming to move in with me?" "This week I need to get away from Sesshomaru he says that I still have to be home once in awhile or else I can stay at your place as much as possible." Sango rolls her eyes but says nothing so I don't take it as anything.

The teacher seems to catch on that we're talking during class, "Miss. Higurashi can you answer my question?" ('Means someone is thinking it sorry for a bit confusing) I look at him and hear his thoughts, 'She'll never guess the right answer to where we got the word pan from.' "Well Mr. Takashi we got the word pan from Portugal." the whole class smile and seemed to be surprised that I was listening to him and talking to Sango.

Sango looks at me a little mad but she only sighs out her frustration, "How about you sleep for a little bit and I'll wake up you up when you're asked a question or when school ends." "Thank you so when schools over can I copy your notes?" She nods and I rest my head on my desk just like the beginning of the day.

After School...

'I hate school its not like I need to be here. Did someone call my name?'

"Kagome wait up," I turn around to see Inuyasha running over to me, "Can I talk to you?"

I look at him and flash a smile, "Of course you can but I need to walk around to see job openings."

"That's cool so do I."

An hour after walking...

'Ok I have four job applications plus two places that knew my dad and would hire me in a flash.' I look at Inuyasha and see that he's walking over to the a bench so I go and sit by him.

"I bet you over heard me and Miroku talking during class." I just nod my head. "Well my father died in a fire to save me and my mom when I was two. My mom died in a car accident a few years ago and my only family is my full demon half brother as you could have guessed. We don't get along because he hates humans even though in human years he really is only 25. I mean what the hell why is he taking his anger out on me. Most of the time we get along and his girlfriend Rin is really great but I heard she had a baby but put it up for an adoption Sesshomaru was a little annoyed but he would still like to meet his daughter Rin did something weird and named her little girl Rini."

I look at him surprised, "Rini could people call her Rin if they wanted to?" "Yeah of course." "When did she have the baby?" "About 6 or 7 years ago why?" "Were you there when I was talking to that little girl?" He looks at me but nods. "Well she was about 6 or 7 and they kept calling her Rin. Maybe we can see if Rin and your brother would like to see if Rin is their Rini?" He smiles, "Yeah and maybe Ses will get off my back.

I call the hospital, "Hello you've reached the Tokyo General Hospital this is Kikyo how I may help you?" "Hi Kikyo I was wondering if you knew anything about the little girl I helped the other day?" "Oh well let me pull up her file why do you ask?" "Well I think I might know who her real family is. The mother thought that her boyfriend wouldn't want the baby but it seems that he's been looking for her for a while. The mother named her little girl Rini and I thought hatRini was close to Rin and people could shorten it." "Oh well I think I can find her file right here," I hear some keys going on the other end of the phone, "Well it seems that her real name is Rini she has no last name since her mother had given her up for adoption about 7 years ago because she was barely 18 and she said that she couldn't' take care of the baby and her boyfriend may not want it. She hadn't' been with him the noticeable nine months of her pregnancy because she was afraid. That's odd that it says that in her file." "Well I think she's the girl I'm looking for is there a way I can get a hold of her?" "Well lucky of you that I took her into my custody well the trail is happening." "Can I see her maybe Thursday because I'm moving in with a friend tomorrow and Wednesday?" "Yeah of course meet me at Sakura Park." "Yeah that would be great." 'Ok I'll pull up her birth sutifercate and how about I give you my cell phone number?" "Again that would be great." She gives me her number and I give her mine in return.

"As you heard Thursday I'm seeing Rin again and guess what?" He looks at me and shrugs, "Blue." I sigh, "She has no last name because her mother gave her up for adoption and didn't' give a name. I'm having Kikyo pull up her birth segificate." He smiles a little bit, "Should I call my brother?" I shake my head, "Give me his number and I'll call him and ask him." He sighs and looks relieved so he gives me his number.

Sesshomaru answers on the third ring, "Hello who is this?" "Hi is this SesshomaruTakagura?" "Yes this is him." "Hello my name is Kagome Higurashi I was talking to your brother about you and please don't be annoyed but I think I found your girlfriends daughter." When he speaks he sounds surprised, "Rin had a baby girl?" "Yes, she did it seems that your brother knew and thought that you knew as well. Well I was told that he named her little girl Rini and I met a little girl that everyone calls Rin but I found out earlier today that her full name is Rin and she has no last name because the mother asked them not to give the little girl hers or her boyfriend's last name. So she was given the last name of the person who runs the orphanage." When he hears this he sounds happy, "So you might have found my baby girl. Can you tell me what she looks like?" "Well she has yellow eyes with a dark brown I think for hair, but it might have been dyed I couldn't tell very well. Do you want to know how I met her?" "Yes can you please tell me, but how about you and my brother meet me at the down town cafe next to Sakura Park in an hour and you can tell me all that you know?" I look at Inuyasha glad I put the phone on speaker and he just nods. "Yes that sounds just fine by me and your brother doesn't' seem to have a problem with it."

I was quiet for a while not talking and not moving. I look at him and he seem to be thinking of something.

He looks at me shyly, "Do you want to hear...
