Chapter Two

"Uncover the truth…to protect a lie"

-Devils Angels-

It had been raining viciously that day, everything was gloomy and morbid. Just to match her mood. She could not build a fire, and she had no shelter. Just a few moments before the downpour started Inuyasha had left her alone with Shippo to go and hunt for some meat.

He was still not back.

Kikyo…..The name was forever on his lips, even in sleep he would moan out Kikyo's name. But never hers. When they had begun the quest of the jewel shards, she hoped against all odds that he would see her as more then a shard protector. And he did, that is until Kikyo came back and stole her soul.

Inuyasha did not and could not kill her, even if it was for Kagome. Kikyo was the one he loved, no one else.

Kagome knew it, and yet she refused to believe it. But that could not be helped; she was still a child after all.

"Kagome?"

She cradled the kitsune in her arms, protecting him from the cold winds.

"Yes?"

"Where is Inuyasha?"

She looked off into the direction he had gone, then back at the youkai child.

"I do not know….will you help me find him?"

A bright smile illuminated Shippo's face, and he bounced happily up and down in Kagomes lap.

"Then can we get of the rain? It's freezing!"

He exclaimed, he latched on to her shoulder as she traced the hanyou's steps. Then she sensed it, a shikon shard.

"Shippo go back to the camp and get my bow and arrows!" She quietly hissed, he looked at her questionably, but he silently followed orders.

She followed her instincts and soon found herself in a clearing, but what she saw before her ripped out her heart.

Inuyasha was embracing the reanimated corpse named Kikyo, he had his back to her. And clutched to the deceased priestess like his very life depended on in.

Kagome was lost for words. Her heart over flowed with grief, it hurt so much. She stood, frozen the core.

Kikyo…….he loves Kikyo.

Those words were cold and harsh, they ripped through her very being. Threatening to be the end of her.

I have been such a fool.

The couple remained in a passionate embrace, relishing the feel of one another. Inuyasha's mind to clouded with lies of love to notice there was another present.

Home…I need to get home.

The word home, shocked her out of her stupor as she thought of her loving family, and her caring friends.

It's were I belong.

Without even a glance she fled the scene, not even noticing the fact that Kikyo's eyes were feasting upon her, filled with both hatred and happiness at the same time.

"Kikyo"

Inuyasha broke the embrace, and look down at his lifeless lover.

"I have something for you"

He pulled out a shard. And she gasped accordingly.

"You will no longer need the souls of those women, you can live freely until all of the shikon shards have been recovered and then I will make my wish"

She grasped the shikon shard and it glinted black for a moment as of acknowledging it formers protectors' presence.

"You will have all of your soul back, the shikon will duplicate it, and both you and Kagome can live."

She stared up in wonder at the hanyou.

He is smarter than he looks, he may just be of use to me yet……

"Kikyo, I must go Kagome will wonder, she is getting smarter, and besides it raining"

If only he knew….

She feigned a look of disappointment, and kissed him lightly before he left. As soon as he was out of the protective shield Kikyo, had created around him, he was soaked to the bone by the torrent.

He took to the sky, and with one final leap he was back at the campsite. Kagome, didn't even notice his presence and this got him immediately curios.

"Oi! Wench! Where's the fire?"

She looked up at him, tears streaming down her face, thankful that it was raining.

I hate you.

"Where's the food?" she whispered wordlessly. At his failure to answer, she coldly brushed past him, to pick up her yellow back pack. Shippo suddenly appeared out of the bushes bow and arrow in hand.

"Kagome I tried to find you but you weren't there!"

She offered him a small smile.

"False Alarm"

He once again took his place on his shoulder as she began to walk to the East. Towards the mountains.

"Bitch where are you going?"  

Inuyasha rudely called after her. She answered with a simple 'sit' and went on her way.  Shippo became silent as he stared up at the bleak sky. A timeless question running through his mind. Why does it rain?

Hi unusual silence gave Kagome time to think.

Why did he have a shard? Why was Kikyo there?

I should have known….he could never love me. I am nothing but a child compared to that mummy.

At least he thinks so………So what is going to happen now?

Will anything change? I know without a doubt that when Naraku (AU: Did I spell it right?) time comes, I will be sent home.

Do I want to go back home?

Do you really need all that stuff? School? Home? A family?

Of course I do! Souta, Mom and Grandpa need me!

But then again you also thought that Inuyasha needed you…..

But-

You are alone, some may love you, but not as much as you deserve. You must be strong, you must survive.

Kagome grew, worried as the strange voice continued to speak. Was she schizophrenic?

No my child you are not sick…at this very moment Kikyo is merging what little of your soul she had left with the shikon shard Inuyasha gave her.

He betrayed me?

Yes and no, he used the shikon shard to all your advantages, Kikyo will continue to live, you will continue to live, and he gets his lover back. Without the threat of being pulled down into hell with her.

Who are you?

I am you.

The voice vanished after that cryptic conversation. They days passed quickly, days turned into weeks, weeks turned into months and months turned into a year.

Kagome was now 17, and had bloomed into a beautiful young woman, far fairer then the dead miko who continued to travel the earth. Her raven hair, lengthened by time, went down until the small of her back. Her waist had narrowed and her hips had developed to perfection, her legs had grown longer as she got taller. Slightly muscular but still slender.

She brought the Greek god, Aphrodite to shame.

She had grown, tired of being called foul disgusting names by the people of the village, just because of her school uniform. So she instead adopted to wearing battle kimonos. But that instead attracted even more men.

That was how they had come to meet Miroku, he had labeled himself as her much obliged servant, and in her language that meant personal stalker, and followed her everywhere, not even brothering to keep his lecherous hands under control. And then they had met, Sango, the only woman on this planet able to keep Miroku the corrupted monk at bay.

There was a whole month until her birthday on May 1st. May Day, she quietly laughed as she remembered what her mother would do for he back home. The crowing of the May Queen, and oddly enough she won every year.

"Oi! Wench! Are you done yet?"

She'd been peacefully taking a bath in the near buy hot springs, when the hanyou shamelessly came bounding out of the bushes glaring at her.

"HENTAI! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!"

(AU: 26 sits, and considering that Inuyasha goes six feet under ground each time she says it that would mean he is 156ft below earth surface. *peers down at the massive crater Inuyasha made*, say hello to the demons in hell for me inu-chan!)

Kagome scrambled, to put her kimono on, before the spell ended. Her kimono was black, with a sparkling blue dragon glittering on the back, pictures of waves were painted at the sleeves and ends, and her obi was light blue, the same color as the dragon.

Satisfied with her work, she moves to the huge crater Inuyasha had made.

"Sit"

 A loud line of curses echoed up to Kagome and she laughed triumphantly leaving the poor hanyou alone in his stupidity.
