Each day Hojo stopped by the club room or attempted to eat with them at lunch time. Each time one of the boys made a polite excuse for Kagome as Haruhi, Hunny or Mori helped her make a quick exit. Unfortunately with Hojo's actions it incited more activity from her fan club. Thankfully it was all skillfully channeled to the Host clubs benefit thanks to Koya.

As it was Kagome was not sure what to do with all the attention. She entered her prep room. Originally it was set up that she would share with Haruhi. That plan was squashed when Koya pointed out that since most everyone else thought Haruhi was a boy it might raise a few questions. So in the end she ended up with her very own prep room.

Kagome stopped dead in her tracks as she saw the cosplay outfit for that day. Hanging on the rack waiting for her was pair of red hakama and a white haori. An almost perfect match to what Kikyou had worn. Kagome lowered her head not wanting to even look at it. Closing her eye tight she balled her hands into fists doing her best not to have another breakdown. It was a failed attempt however as tears started to fall freely from her eyes. She knelt down and tried to stop only resulting in hyperventilating.

It took a few minutes but eventually the others started to wonder what was taking Kagome so long. They sent Haruhi to go check.

"Kagome!" Haruhi yelled as she ran over to her. Haruhi's shout had alerted the others who came in as well. They were shocked to say the least. Mori wasted no time hurrying over and picking her up. He moved her over to the couch and sat with her there. Koya was instantly taking out his cell phone to call Shippo after he quickly assessed that she was physically fine other than her hyperventilating.

Mori said nothing as he held her protectively in his arms. Hunny came to join them on the couch gently taking her hands as he softly let her know that everything was fine. The others simply stood by with worried expressions not knowing what to do.

It only took several minutes for Shippo to show up. Taking a quick survey of the area he instantly found the problem.

"Get rid of that thing." He ordered pointing to the Miko garb that was still hanging from the rack. Tamaki and the twins were quick to follow his directions. Shippo took Kagome from Mori who was not happy about it but relented since it would help.

"Kagome…. Your safe now… I promise…" He told her softly.

Kagome looked up at him with foggy eyes. He could easily tell that her mind was not in the present with them but stuck on memories from the past.

"Kikyou.. she…and Naraku" He could smell her fear. It had been a long time since she had a flashback of the final battle but clearly she was having one now.

"Shhh, Kikyou is not here… Neither is Naraku. They're both gone I promise you." He told her. Kagome started to calm down. It took a while but eventually she fell asleep from the mental strain. Gently he placed her back down on the sofa to rest.

Motioning for everyone to leave the room with him he sighed. They would give her time to rest. No doubt her new friends had questions for him.

"All of this needs to be taken down before she wakes up." He said motioning to the decorations for the day.

"Will Kagome be ok?" Hunny asked.

"She'll be fine she just had a flashback to a very traumatic part of her past." He explained. Shippo knew they would need answers but they needed to be tailored so the whole demon time traveling well stuff stayed secret.

"I didn't find anything like that when I looked up her back ground." Koya stated.

"You wouldn't." Shippo stated "I personally took care of erasing everything connected to it from all databases."

"What happened?" Tamaki asked seriously. He may have been a goofball but he knew when to stop.

"It's a very long story that's hers to tell. To sum it up though Kagome and her friends were attacked. I was away and could help. Sesshomaru didn't make it in enough time to save everyone. Only Kagome lived."

That was a basic truth. Shippo never really saw that final battle, Kagome had left him behind in Edo for his safety. Sesshomaru was on the other side of the battle field and couldn't help.

"If you don't mind me asking, How was it connected to the Feudal era theme we were doing today?" Haruhi asked.

"It happened at a shrine. The Kikyou she mentioned was a shrine maiden and wore that same outfit." He told them.

Mori snuck out at the other asked Shippo some other little things. He knew she was holding something in. He just never thought it would be this large of a secret. He couldn't imagine how she thought she could handle something like this on his own.

She was already awake and sitting up by the time he reached her on the sofa. They sat in silence for some time. He knew she would talk when she was ready.

"So…Shippo told you. "

"yeah"

"I'm sorry." She said looking down not wanting to meet his eyes. Surly he thought she was some weird freak by now. "I never wanted to burden you guys with…"

She never got to finish what she was saying though because Mori pulled her in to an embrace effectively silencing her.

"Don't." He told her firmly "Don't apologize."

Kagome nodded an ok into his chest but he still continued. "It wasn't your fault. "

Hearing those words Kagome's heart lightened a bit. Everyone had always told her it was ok, that she was safe. However this was the first time someone had said it wasn't her fault. Finally she could truly grieve and let someone else comfort her.

Mori held Kagome as she cried softly. Silently swearing that if he ever found the people responsible for hurting her they would pay dearly.
