Kagome picked herself up from the ground and followed the demon. He seemed friendly enough and she had no clue where she was anyway. Who are you, Kagome asked restlessly? They had been walking for ten minutes now and she was tired of waiting. You will find out soon Lady Kagome. Kagome followed silently from then on. Many questions filled her mind like where exactly this mysterious demon was taking her and what was up with "Lady Kagome"? Only Myoga and Miroku called her that. Kagome kept herself aware and a sharp eye out for any suspicious.

They entered what looked like to Kagome an Inu den no more like a town. All the Inu youkai bowed as Kagome walked past. What's going on? Why are they bowing? The youkai in front of her did not answer, but continued to walk. That's it! I want some answers, now! Just as the words left her lips the youkai in front of her came to a stop.

'What the heck?' Thought a very frustrated Kagome as she looked past the Inu youkai in front of her. There in front was very old looking demon. His eyes were filled with wisdom that only comes for hundreds maybe even thousands of years of living. He was in a dark robes came to his ankles as well as his gray hair. The old youkai rushed towards the stunned girl and bowed deeply. My lady! He cried out. I thought I was never going to see your lovely face again! 'What in the world is going on, thought a very nervous Kagome.' The old man continued to speak. After you and your father disappeared all those years ago, we.well we thought you might be dead.

Wait a minute, Kagome said her eyes wide. Y-you knew my father? The demon didn't stop in his ramblings. Of course we knew as soon as you came back to us! We all sensed your dominant blood! 'Dominant blood?!?' Though, I am very sorry to say we couldn't bring you here until now, because your real form and powers will be locked away until two days from now, your eighteenth birthday!

Damn this! I've tried everything. And there is still nothing left I can think of to get through the barrier. 'Kagome, please be okay!' Inuyasha tried several more times to cut through the barrier with the tetsaiga, but his attempts ended up being fruitless. (A/N: Is that how you spell Inuyasha's sword, tetsaiga? Please someone, tell me!)

`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`Back with Kagome *`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*

What ARE you talking about? Kagome had had it! She was tired of not getting her answers and she wanted them now! The old demon stopped in mid sentence. Oh well, you probably have no clue what any of us are talking about do you? Kagome shook her head impatiently. She had been patient enough for one day now it was her turn to talk. Well come on then. Let's go inside and talk. It's getting cold out here. Oh and by the way, call me Elder. In truth the sun had risen, but gone behind a huge cloud. With out the sun's direct rays it was very chilly outside.

'Inuyasha is going to be SO mad at me when I get back, she thought miserably to herself. "Kagome, where have you been?!?"' She knew he would yell at her. He couldn't do anything without his "shard detector" and every time she thought it, it made a dagger stab deeper and deeper into her heart. For in truth, she was deeply in love with the dense hanyou. If only he knew, she whispered quietly to herself.

Awe, you are thinking of your young, Inu, hanyou companion, are you not? Hai, she said sadly. Do not worry, child. I am sure he will come around. Thank you, she replied quietly. Kagome didn't know why, but she felt like she could tell Elder anything. Kind of like she had known him as long as she lived.

Now! You must be wondering what you are here for. Yeah, Kagome said sheepishly. First of all, I think you should know who your farther was. Since I take it he passed away? Yes, was his gloomy answer. Kagome, who didn't want to think about that right now quickly said, and who was he precisely? Your father was King Yasisashi of the Southern Lands. (A/N: I have no clue what so ever what Kagome's father's real name is so I made one up.)

But, but, Kagome stuttered. He would have to be a. Demon, Elder finished for her. That also means since your mother is human you are a hanyou. A hanyou.Kagome trailed off. In her head she was thinking that it could be a good thing, but also a bad thing. Why had her mom neglected to tell her she was a HANYOU!?!

And I'll have my true form and powers on my next birthday? That is correct, Elder replied simply. Well I think it is time for you to go, Kagome. We will talk again when you sleep tonight. What do you mean, she asked curiously? Different types of youkai have different powers. One of our powers is to communicate in dream and sleep. You have to go now. Your Inu friend is about to brake through the barrier we put up. Ask one of the youkai outside to give you a ride and take you away from here.

Right, she said as she smiled! Kagome hugged him quickly and dashed outside. Elder smiled back as she left. She will make a great leader, he said softly to himself. Kagome grabbed the closest Inu youkai. Can you please take me away from here? Of course, the youkai said as he bowed. She quickly jumped on his back and the youkai took off. When they came to about a hundred feet away from the barrier the demon put her down. Thank you, she said graciously. With that the demon bowed again and leapt out of sight.

Just as he left Inuyasha broke through the barrier and ran towards her. Where have you been? He screamed at her. He stopped and took a step closer. Inuyasha bent down and started sniffing her all over. Kagome's face turned several shades of red and she instantly froze. Inuyasha's head jerked back. 'She's been with another male, he thought sadly.' You have male youkai scent all over. Where the hell have you been?!?

Kagome's eyes widened as she looked at Inuyasha. Somehow she didn't think Elder wanted her to tell Inuyasha what she was just yet. No where, she lied. Inuyasha could tell she was lying to him it was written all over her face and in her scent. Though, he was the only one who could tell when she did lie. The others were always fooled. Kagome brushed past him. We better go back before the others worry too much. With that she walked back to Kaede's hut, Inuyasha following sulking about her being with another male.
