Rei was sitting in a bar when she received the news. Kikyou's "mother" was really dead. At first she pretended to be concerned. She began talking about funeral arrangements; although she knew very well that she could care less. Rei didn't care at all that Makoto died. She got off the phone and reached for a bottle of wine. She stood up holding the bottle high in the air.

"Drinks for everyone the next round is on me."

The entire bar broke out into applause as more drinks were poured. Rei re took her seat and drank the rest of her wine. One of the bartenders watched her in a matter of minutes the entire bottle was gone. She then threw the bottle aside and called for another.

"What's the occasion lady?" he asked.

"Oh someone that I knew has died."

He raised an eyebrow to her but passed her another bottle. She was clearly insane he knew that he should not mess with her. Insane people were not to be messed with lightly. Once Rei was good and drunk she left the bar. She planned to celebrate Makoto's death. "Who cares she died for a reason."

Inuyasha took Kikyou home she still hadn't said much. It was taking awhile for reality to set in. First her "mother" was dead not only that she found out that she was adopted. Where on earth was her real mother then? Kikyou wasn't sure how much she could possibly handle.

"You should get some rest. I'll leave." Inuyasha told her.

"No please stay. At least until I fall asleep."

He nodded and then he lay down besides her. He placed the blankets around her. Kikyou wasn't sure if she could really get any sleep. Her mind was going a million miles a minute. Her thoughts were on so many different things. Inuyasha wondered what he could do for her.

"Do you want some tea or something?"

"Yes thank you."

As Inuyasha left to go and make some tea her phone rang. She wasn't going to answer it at first. But when she saw that it was Rei she answered it. If she hadn't then Rei would only continue calling her.

"Hello?"

"Kikyou you sound awful what happened? Is it your mother? Hey did she die?"

Rei may have been drunk but she could still do her job. And she knew very well that Makoto was dead. Kikyou was too upset to say anything more. Inuyasha took the phone from her he could see that she was upset. It had to be no one other than Rei.

"Why are you calling?"

"Oh hello Inuyasha I didn't realize that you were still around. I thought that Kikyou would have gotten rid of you by now. You know with her mother dead and all."

Inuyasha didn't even bother to respond to her. This was clearly Rei just being her usual self. Instead he just shut the phone off and handed Kikyou her tea.

"Are you alright? I'm sorry about that psycho talking about your mother like that."

"Yes if I knew who my mother really was."

"Hey what really happened in that room?"

Kikyou just wanted the whole thing to be a nightmare. She wished her mother was home and still alive. She wished that she was never adopted. Her entire life had been a lie. Could she even trust in anything anymore without it all ending up being a lie?

"My mother or rather Ms. Himura told me that I was adopted. My whole life has been an entire lie. I don't know if I can trust in anything anymore. I wonder who my real mother was. I wonder why she gave me away in the first place."

"Kikyou there's one thing that's not a lie. I'm here and I don't plan on becoming one big lie to you. Don't worry that you can't trust anyone. Because I'm here alright besides even if she wasn't you're birth mother. You know that she loved you." Inuyasha mentioned.

Kikyou reached over she seriously didn't know what she would do without him. He had become her support system. In fact ever since they had met all those months ago he had always been there for her. She couldn't possibly know how to thank him.

"Inuyasha you're so good to me. You're always here when I need you. I haven't been nearly as much help to you. Is there anything I could do to thank you?"

Was she kidding? Kikyou had been more than enough. He had never even thought that he would have the chance to meet her. And once he did she had showed him nothing but kindness. Kikyou really didn't have to be that nice to him. Hell she even got him his photography job. If anything he should be thanking her.

"Yes Kikyou there is something that you can do for me. Just keep that beautiful smile on your face and let me be here for you."

She blinked curiously for him. If that was all he wanted then she could definitely do that for him; just because he had asked her. Inuyasha put his arms around her protectively all answers becoming really clear.

"Kikyou I love you." He told her.

Inuyasha had never really been in love before. From the very beginning he had felt something for her. Meeting her had only made those feelings grow stronger. Inuyasha didn't wait for her to respond he just captured her lips in a kiss.

"Inuyasha I love you too." She admitted.

Rei called Kikyou in the next day so they could have a friendly chat. She promised that there would be no work involved. Kikyou hesitated at first but ultimately took her up on her offer. When she arrived at Rei's office she found it to be in a mess. There was clutter and other useless nonsense lying around; empty bottles of beer and vodka lying around.

"Rei what happened in here?"

"I don't know I have such a goddamn hangover. Come in."

Kikyou sat down across from Rei's desk. Rei sat up offering Kikyou a bottle of wine which she quickly declined. If she was going to drink it would not be here. She would not be drinking with Rei who was clearly a mess right now.

"Kikyou I just wanted to say that I'm so sorry that you're mother died. I mean I know what its like to lose someone important to you. You would do anything to get them back. You understand don't you Kikyou."

Rei took another sip of her beer and slammed it down. This caused some of her beer to fly up in the air. Kikyou stared at Rei in surprise she wasn't really sure what to expect from her.

"I found out that I was adopted. But it doesn't matter I know who my real mother is."

Rei pushed her glasses over her face. Her green eyes staring into her mahogany orbs; so Kikyou had found out the truth at last.

"But Kikyou don't you want to know who your mother was. Don't you want to hear her side of the story? Maybe the two of you can have a real relationship."

"I really don't care what she has to say. My mother is dead and that's all there is to say."

Kikyou got up to leave but Rei called out to her. The blue haired woman's hand was resting firmly on to her beer can. She looked serious.

"Wait your mother loved you. Kikyou I swear it."

"What do you know about it?"

"Makoto Himura was not your mother. I hated her and I' am glad that she died."

Kikyou opened her eyes in horror. How dare Rei talk about her mother like that? What happened next horrified her even more than anything else. Rei took off her glasses and next took out her green contacts. A pair of brown eyes was underneath them. She took off her blue wig and let her hair down; only to reveal endless waves of raven colored hair.

"You…" Kikyou began.

"Do you see a resemblance now Kikyou? I'm Michiko Himura you're real mother."
