Updated: 1/12/04
MM: I'd just like to give a super special thanks to Zonza, kenji, and DeathAnglethestreetfighte for reviewing the last chapter! This Chapter is dedicated especially to them!!!
Apology: I am SO SORRY for not updating! I know you probably don't want to hear it, but I had computer problems for two weeks and it wouldn't even boot up properly. Then I had TONS of homework! I also have two midterms this week and should be studying for them, but I'm updating instead. So there were no updates for a while......AGAIN I AM SORRY!

~*~*~With Kagome~*~*~
"Hi Mom," Kagome said sweetly to her startled mother. Kagome crossed her arms over her chest and walked to her where mom was standing. Ms. Higurashi sighed as she watched her daughter.
"Is it going to be your eighteenth birthday already?" Kagome glared at her mother.
"Listen mom, and listen good. HOW COME YOU DIDN'T TELL ME I AM A HANYOU?!?" Ms. Higurashi backed away slightly at her daughter's loud voice.
"I didn't realize what was going to happen. I guess I forgot that you would transform back and didn't realize it until you came in here glaring like that," Yumi said. (A/N: I'm really sorry about the interruption, but that's what I'm calling Ms. Higurashi.) Yumi sighed and restlessly clasped her hands out in front of her body. Striding across the floor quickly and taking a seat she motioned for Kagome to do the same.
"Alright Kagome, what do you want to know," asked Yumi tiredly. Kagome stared at her mother for a long few minutes before asking.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Again a sigh was heard from Yumi.
"I didn't want you to feel excluded and alone. I just wanted to protect you from the truth." Yumi's voice was soft and gentle as she told her daughter the truth. Kagome continued to glare at her mother before softening her gaze and letting an exasperated sound escape her mouth. Slowly Kagome started to drum her fingers against the table top.
"I want you to answer all my questions to the best of your knowledge, Mom. No lying to me."
Yumi looked at her daughter wearily before saying, "All right." Kagome nodded her head and asked her next question.
"What side of the well was I born on Mom?"
Yumi answered carefully, "You were born on the other side of the well or in other words Inuyasha's time.
"Did I know Inuyasha," Kagome asked feeling irked to find what she thought her time was, was indeed not the truth. Yumi spared a glance at the door to see if Kagome's grandpa was going to come bursting in at any moment; for he did not approve of her deceased husband. She continued cautiously.
"You knew Inuyasha as a small child and before you ask it, I was born on this side of the well."
Kagome's eyes lit up, "You mean I knew Inuyasha before Kikyo did?" Kagome found this new piece of information very pleasing. Yumi nodded her head and started talking again.
"Yes we left that time to come here when you were a little older then six. Souta never got to meet his father because he died before I even knew I was pregnant." Kagome watched as her mother's eyes glazed over took her hand.
"It's okay Mom, you don't have to talk about Dad if it makes you this sad." Yumi shook her head no.
"No, I've kept you from the truth long enough. I'll tell you everything I know." Kagome nodded her head encouragingly and patted her mom's hand.
Yumi continued to speak, "I met your father when I was eighteen. He came through the well injured and I helped him to recover. He explained who and what he was and stayed here, at the shrine, until he was fully healed. But when he was healed he didn't want to leave; nor did I want him to go. We had fallen in love, you see. Your grandfather was furious when he found out I was helping a youkai. So we went to his time, mated, and had you. Everything was wonderful. Yasisashi was a wonderful father as well as a mate. He was also good friends with the ruler of another land. (A/N: Does Inuyasha's family rule the eastern or western lands? Sorry, I always forget which one.) They too had a hanyou child. So we had you and Inuyasha meet. You were only about a month and Inuyasha a year. The two of you became instant friends. Inseparable if you ask me. I think you were even at the early stage of love; if you didn't love each other already." Kagome blushed at the thought of her and Inuyasha together. She shook her head lightly to clear the thought and her mom chuckled softly.
"Yes you and Inuyasha together. It's not so weird. But anyway, you two grew up together until the day when everything seemed to be going wrong. Your father was attacked by a neighboring land who wanted to claim his land for themselves. He retaliated, but he was outnumbered and severely injured. So we fled to my birth time. Your father sealed the well and told me it wouldn't open until your eighteenth birthday, but it opened earlier. I don't know why." Kagome let out a deep breath she had been holding in and asked a question that had been nagging her ever since she found out where she was born.
"If I knew Inuyasha when I was little then how can it be that fifty extra years passed for them?"
"I'm not really sure, but fate had its hand in this." Kagome gave her mother an odd look.
"Well, those are all the questions I have for you at this very moment, but I'll come back the night after I turn into my hanyou form if I can, Kagome said pleased that she now had a bit of information and was not like a dog stranded in the woods without a way to get back home.
Yumi then decided to speak about another matter at hand, "I'll go get the Ramen for Inuyasha. I stocked up on it just the other day." Kagome mumbled an 'uh huh' before getting up to put all her blood stained and ripped clothes in the washing machine. She put in the soaps and other things needed and finally presses the start button on the washer.
She decided to take a nap, but before she did she called down to her mom, "Mom, what am I going to do about school?" She heard her mother bustling around downstairs and then an answer to her question.
"Don't worry about it honey. I'll take care of all the stuff here." Kagome nodded to herself knowing that her mother couldn't see, but did it anyway.
"Okay, thanks mom!" Kagome continued to change into a fresh change of clothing and plopped onto her bed. She instantly fell into a light sleep. She knew she would probably never be a heavy sleeper again. Spending so much time in the feudal era didn't allow it with all the demons and such trying to kill her and her friends to take the 'Jewel of Four Souls.'
Kagome awoke feeling really refreshed and relaxed. She spared a glace towards her alarm clock and found it was only a little after two o'clock in the afternoon. She jumped out of bed and stumbled across the floor to her closet. She pulled out a white quarter sleeve blouse that buttoned up the front and a jean pair hip huggers that had brown ties laced up both sides. Kagome bent down and pulled out a pair of hiking boots she got last Christmas from her aunt. She quickly pulled on the outfit and moved into the bathroom across the hall. There was a brush lying on the bathroom counter and she picked it up and ran it through her shiny black hair to remove all the knots. She proceeded to pull out two ponytail holders from a drawer and pull her hair up into two messy buns on either side of her head. When she was finished she gave herself a satisfied smile and exited the bathroom only to run smack into her mother.
"Oof!" Kagome fell onto her butt and Yumi almost did as well. Once Yumi regained her balance she helped her daughter up.
"I finished packing all of the Ramen and your things while you were sleeping. I also put some different clothes in your bag so you don't have to wear your school uniform all the time."
"Thanks mom!" Kagome hugged her mother tightly. She was really lucky to have such an understanding and supportive mother. Kagome knew that most mothers wouldn't trust their daughters to travel into the past like hers did; even if they were born there.
"You're welcome Kagome. You better get back before Inuyasha comes and drags you back." Yumi chuckled while saying this.
"Also, if you can, come home between 9 o'clock pm and stay her till at least 10:30 on your birthday. I haven't seen you in your hanyou form in a long time and I would like to see my baby girl the day she turns eighteen."
"Okay mom, I'll have to get away from Inuyasha though. And that's not always easy." Yumi nodded and walked her daughter to the back door.
"See you soon. And take care!" Kagome hugged her mother one last time before jogging off to the well with her overly large backpack. She situated herself on the lip of the well before jumping down to be engulfed by that oh so familiar purplish bluish light.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~With Inuyasha~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
About an hour after Kagome had returned to her time Inuyasha had given up sulking in the corner and moved into a tree that had a clear visual shot of the well. He stayed in the tree for quite a while and was about to jump down the well to retrieve her when he caught a whiff of her heavenly scent. 'She smells like a storm,' he thought hazily to himself before jumping down from the tree and leaping to meet her.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~With Kagome~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
She had just reached her hand up to grasp the brim of the well when a clawed hand grabbed her wrist. She gasped and let go out of reflex, but the hand holding her didn't. I pulled her up and out of the well all together placing her on the ground. Kagome looked up into amber orbs.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome said relieved to find him and not another blood thirsty demon after her life. He continued to stare down at her with his piercing amber eyes. She shifted uncomfortably under his gaze. Finally he realizes he was staring and averted his eyes to anywhere, but Kagome.
"I'm back," Kagome exclaimed nervously. Inuyasha just muttered something about not being blind before turning his back to her and crouching down. Kagome took the hint and situated herself onto his back. She clenched her legs on his waist and wrapped her arms around his neck. Inuyasha put his arms over her legs and pulled her closer making sure she wasn't going to fall off.
Without warning he took off. It was warm out and Kagome enjoyed the wind whipping around her and Inuyasha's bodies while they flew through the air. She snuggled into his back feeling very content. Inuyasha stiffened before relaxing; he hadn't expected her to do that. He continued with one last leap to land right outside Kaede's hut.
Inuyasha helped Kagome off his back before picking up her bag again. They walked into the hut to find Sango already working on that night's dinner. She glanced up, mumbled a greeting, and then looked back down at the stew.
Kagome looked around to locate Miroku the far wall nursing his red sore cheek that had recently been slapped. She continued to look for Shippo.
"Where's Shippo?" Sango looked back up at Kagome and answered her question.
"He went to play with some village children about an hour ago." Kagome nodded and watched Inuyasha set her bag down in a corner and went back outside. She didn't question him and went to help Sango with the other preparations for dinner.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~Three Hours Later~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Shippo had returned from playing a while ago and colored with some crayons Kagome brought him right outside the door to the hut. The dinner was uneventful other than Miroku getting slapped by Sango, Shippo getting hit by Inuyasha, and Kagome 'sitting' Inuyasha into the ground.
Kagome decided to turn in early that night. She wanted to talk to Elder as soon as possible. She had questions she knew her mother couldn't answer and she was dieing to know. All of this was new to her and she wanted to understand as soon as possible.
She unrolled her sleeping bag and laid down. Kagome soon found herself in a field full of blooming cherry trees. The wind blew them around and there sitting on a rock was Elder. She was going to understand this; even if it took her forever.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~Inuyasha~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Inuyasha watched as Kagome dozed off and her breathing evened out. He didn't understand why, but when he looked at Kagome closely he got the feeling he knew her from before he got pinned to the tree. She looked so innocent there lying on the ground, her face completely relaxed and peaceful. The first thing that popped into his head was angel. His angle. 'Where did that come from?!' Oh he was really loosing it. But he couldn't help but notice the flipping his stomach did when ever Kagome was near. Or all those times he had wanted to just take her in his arms, hold her close to him, and never let her go. It confused him beyond reason. And why didn't he ever feel thins way about Kikyo?
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
MM: I'm going to leave it at that. I'm really tired!
Shippo: Yeah, me too!
MM: So anyways, how was this chapter? Yeah, I know a little boring. I promise next chapter will be a lot more action filled!
Shippo: Yep! And for any of you out there MM says this is a Kag/Inu fiction!
MM: Uh-huh! So don't worry.
Shippo: Review review review!
MM: Also, no flames please! Constructive criticism only. Flames will be used to start camp fires and make s'mores! I just wanted to get that out of the way.
