A Troubled Mind Chapter 3: Family Secrets

Kagome was right on how it wasn't right and that decision would save her life. She went inside and got dressed, and sat by the fireplace with a hot cup of cocoa in her hands. She sipped it softly and thought to her self.

'Why didn't I want to do any thing with him? Part of me wanted too but the other part was telling me no.'

She began to think of why her father wouldn't let her see him, and why he thought Inuyasha was dangerous.

'What's wrong with Inuyasha? I don't know hardly any thing of his past - that's it! His past has something to do with my father disliking him!' she thought to herself.

Kagome dashed to the door leaving her hot cocoa on the floor by the fireplace.

'I'll visit my father and ask him all my questions about Inuyasha's past.'

Kagome ran through the woods to the old well. Inuyasha saw her dash by and followed her.

She jumped into the well and Inuyasha went in after her. She hadn't noticed him behind her. Kagome reached the exit and climbed out, looked around and approached her home. Inuyasha stayed inside the well until it was safe to climb out without her knowing.

She walked up to the door and opened it, to find nothing. Not a trace that her family lived there their whole lives, not anything in sight. Just empty rooms and bare walls. Kagome began to cry and collapsed on the floor.

A strong hand grabbed her and pulled her up by the arm. It was Inuyasha and she gasped.

"Inuyasha! What are you doing here!?! Leave me alone, you don't have to follow me everywhere you know!" she said looking at him with tear-filled eyes.

"Why did you come here, this is no place for you now." He asked keeping his hand locked on her arm.

"I came to find out things about your family and why my father dislikes you and your ancestors, is that alright with you?" she asked getting angry.

"It is none of your god damned business what my family is about and maybe I don't want you to know." He said getting angry too.

"Oh, now you can find out all about my family and yours is a deep dark secret in which nobody should know about right? Well tough shit I'm going to find out any ways!" Kagome yanked her arm back and ran out the door.

Kagome went to many towns' people and asked them where her family had gone. They had told her that they moved into a cabin on the mountains. So she began a little journey to the mountains to find her parents and brother.

It was a long way to walk but she thought it was worth it. She came to and old cabin and assumed it was her family's and knocked on the door.

She heard running to the door and the door opened.

"Kagome!!!" her little brother yelped as he ran and hugged her.

"Hey! Where's mom and dad?" she asked.

"Right inside, come on, come on!" he urged.

"Mom? Dad?" Kagome asked and they answered from the living room.

Her father looked at her strangely and motioned her to come and sit on the sofa. Kagome went over to her father.

"What do you want?" he asked rudely.

"Well, I was wondering if you could tell me why you dislike Inuyasha and his family, did they do anything to harm you?" Kagome asked concerned.

"Ahhh, so now you wish to know. If that is what you want to know then shall be it." He said, then he made himself comfortable. Kagome knew this might take a longer time then she thought.

Inuyasha went hopping all over the place trying to fins Kagome, but she was no where in sight. He went back home because it was getting late and he thought she would come home any ways, because he thought she would never find her family.

"A long long time ago I too fell down that well. I met Inuyasha's father and mother there, such nice folks. There was a secret though, and I learned it from seeing it. Now, their culture is to find a woman to marry and have kids with, and after they had as many children that they wanted, the men killed the wives, and the daughters that they had." Kagome interrupted.

"No way! Inuyasha would never do that! You're making this up!" Kagome yelled at her father. Her father stayed calm.

"For only I wish was made up. His father killed his mother, and kept only his first two boys. He was told else wise." Her father finished.

"Is that what your worried about? If Inuyasha will kill me after I pop out a couple of little brats?" Kagome said angry.

"Such good words to describe it, but yes." Her father responded.

She didn't believe him. Kagome stood up off the sofa and walked out, saying good-bye to her brother and mother.

Kagome was on her way back to the well, and all of this rushing to her head, had made her very confused.

Inuyasha was waiting for a long time for Kagome, and decided to go look for her once more. He went into the well and began his search.

Kagome was walking through the dark woods alone when a wolf came out right in front of her.

It's large white teeth showed as it growled ferociously at her. She stood still, like a brick wall. It went up to her and sniffed her shoes then up to her calf's, and then it backed away, like she had some sort of disease.

It smelt the fear coming form her and attacked.

Inuyasha heard the scream and hopped to the direction in the noise. He found Kagome with her leg gushing out blood, and saw the wolf run away at his presence. She was holding her leg, and couldn't move it.

Inuyasha ran over to her and saw the gouges of flesh that the wolf had taken from her leg. He was tying his red shirt around her leg, and she passed out.
