A raised hand punched Kagome in the face. Kagome fell onto the ground, her hands supported her weight. Kagome's eyes widened.

Inuyasha's eyes widened, as did Kikyo's.

Kagome fell down, not because of the impact, but of the shock.. "My kiss . . . ," Kagome said so softly, that no one heard.

"Ka-Kagome, are you alright?!" Inuyasha asked.

Kikyo looked a Kagome, her eyebrow twitched. "Ka-Kagome"

Kagome stared in shock.


Shippo set the herbs on the table, both the ones that Kagome dropped and the ones he picked up.

"Oh Kagome, what's gotten into you?" Shippo arranged the herbs in place.

Sango walked in the living room. "Shippo, where's Kagome? I thought she was with you," Sango kneeled down next to Shippo.

"I don't know she ran off somewhere, but I know Kagome, she's fine." Shippo nodded as he closed his eyes.

"I guess you're right, Shippo, Kagome wouldn't goof off." Sango's shoulders relaxed.

"How are you Sango dear?" Miroku rubbed her butt.

"PERVERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Sango slapped him with all her might.

"Owww . . ." Miroku fell on the floor, his eyes like spirals.


Kimiko stood proudly, "I got he-ah just in twime!" She let her raised hand fall to her side. She wore her usual ear to ear grin, with her hands on her hips. Her hair was messed up and it had some grass in it. She wore a white cape with a blue crescent moon on the back.

Kikyo grabbed Kimiko and held her tight against her chest.

Kimiko jumped off of her mother's arms, "It's bad cawwying heavy things a the moment mommy."

Kikyo looked at her daughter wide eyed.

Kagome held her cheek, her eyes misted with confusion. "Ki- Ki-Kimiko?" Kagome balled her fists. She was so close to him, to finally be able to do what she always wanted. Oh how she just wanted to shrink and hide somewhere. She had just been punched by a three year old!

Inuyasha grabbed hold of Kimiko, "Kimiko, tell her your sorry!" Inuyasha told her pointing at Kagome.

Kagome still looking confused, stood up from the grass.

Kimiko glared at Kagome and then looked over at Inuyasha, "I'll say it, but I won't mean it." She turned to Kagome, "Sowwy."

Inuyasha glared at Kimiko, "Say it like you mean it."

"But I don't meant it. Sow the-ah won't be much meaning to it," she crossed her arms. Inuyasha gave her another glare. Kimiko let out an exasperated sigh. She turned to Kagome, and put on fake watery eyes "I- sniff -I'm soooo Sowwy!!!!!!!!!!!!" Kimiko smirked and gave the thumbs up sign to her father, "I, Kimiko Taisho, a one fowth demon, and a thwee fowths human, am a GWEAT ACTWESS!!!" she announced proudly.

Inuyasha hung his head low, "I give up." He looked at Kimiko's ankle, "Is your ankle better?"

"Awot! Better!" Kimiko chirpered. She tool off her cast "See? Aww better!"

Kagome's eyebrows crunched up together, her lip quivered a bit. Am I really not part of him anymore? Am I truly forgotten?

Inuyasha put his hand on Kikyo's shoulder, "That's great news isn't it."

Kikyo smiled and rubbed her thumb against his hand, "That's great."

Am I truly forgotten? Water began to appear on the edge of her eyes. Kagome put her hand over her heart and swallowed the lump in her throat. She wiped the tears on the edge of her eyes, hoping Inuyasha didn't smell them.

Kimiko looked over at Kagome, then she quickly hid under the cape she was wearing. She then peeked at her father from under the cape and smiled nervously.

Kikyo's eyes widened, "Where did you get that cape?"

"I found it in my backpack," Kimiko smiled, taking off her cape. "It has a blue cwescent moon on the back wike yours! And it has blue out lining, just wike yours. I never knew I had this cape.Weeee!!!" Kimiko put it back on her back and twirled around in circles.

Kikyo stiffened, " The star on my back . . ." She clutched her head.


The raven haired woman cradled a baby in her arms. She kissed it softly on it's forehead.

The baby's eyes widened in curiosity, and giggled. "Wah, gah!" the baby continued giggling, swinging it's feet wildly. It coughed, spewing a mixture of throw up and milk on it's chest.

The woman's smile widened, "Oh, not again." She dabbed a cloth against the baby's chest.


Inuyasha put his hands over Kikyo's shoulder's, "Are you alright?"

"I'm alright."

"I'll be going to the hut, bye," Kagome waved her hand and walked into the forest. Every step she took jabbed her heart. "Oh Inuyasha, you jerk." She collapsed onto her knees and puched the ground below her, "Why? Can't you see I have fallen for you?"


Inuyasha grabbed Kikyo's hand, not wanting her to collapse. Kimiko took off her cape, looking over the crescent moon.

"Don't worry about me, I'm fine." Kikyo let her hand slip out of Inuyasha's. "Now let's go back to the hut."


Kikyo sat in the living room, cross legged. The silence was disturbing, well not for Kikyo. She enjoyed the quiet day. Kagome sat across from her, not knowing what to say. The others just ate the food made by Kikyo. Kagome hasn't touched any of her food, she just eyed it, as if it had poison.

The moon entered the room, spilling all over the floor. Kikyo's pocket glowed a bright golden color.

"What's that?" Inuyasha asked, pointing a the mysterious glow emitting from her pocket.

Kikyo searched her pocket and fished out a star. "I forgot about this. I found this near the hot springs."

"Pwettiful!" Kimiko clapped her hands.

"Do you want it?" Kikyo handed it to her. The star glowed more and started shaking. Kikyo quickly swiped it off Kimiko's hand and threw it across the room. It landed in the middle of the room.

"What the is that?" Sango exclaimed. Kagome crawled over to her, grasping her Kimono sleeve. Miroku quickly ran over to them, sheilding them with his body. Inuyasha did the same with Kimiko and Kikyo. Kimiko took off her cape and put it over her parents and herself

Light exploded from the star, it filled every crack in the room. A clock ticking was heard after wards.


End of the chapter. Oh what to do!!!!
