~*~Ten Minutes Earlier~*~(than where the last chapter ended)
Inuyasha held his stinging cheek as he left the opera house heading for the street where he saw
Lady Kaede getting into her escort car. Forming a quick plan in his head he ran to the car,
opened the drivers door and got into it. Driving off towards the boarding house he ignored the
real drivers shouts as he drove at a breakneck speed.
"Hojo! Hojo, slow down!" Lady Kaede called from the back of the car.
"I'm not Hojo!" Inuyasha said turning his head back to look the woman in the eye causing her to
gasp.
"Ye! Stop this car, I demand that ye stop this car!" she said hitting her wooden cane on the
floor of the car.
"Not until you listen." Inuyasha said pulling the car up to the boarding house where Kagome had
just gotten back to.
Inuyasha got out of the car and went to the door Lady Kaede was sitting beside. Opening the door
roughly, he kneeled in front of her.
"Listen to me. Would you please, just look at her! She *is* Kagome! Not because I trained her
to be, no but because thats who she is!" Inuyasha said, when Lady Kaede didn't answer he pulled
out the 'music' box causing the old woman to gasp.
"Where did ye get that?" her eyes were huge as she took it into her hands.
"I found it when I awoke in Kagome's room a few nights after you got away from the palace to save
yourselves." Inuyasha said, causing the woman to stare.
"Ye are persistent..." she said.
"Almost as stubborn as you. Top floor, third door to the left. Just go meet with her." he said
and watched as the old woman got out of the car and went into the boarding house.
~*~Back to where I left it off~*~
Kagome got to her room at the boarding house and had just started to pack up her things when she
came across the comb Inuyasha had bought for her. She looked at it for a moment before dropping
it into her bag hoping against hopes that it would break, for he had hurt her so bad. As she
had just finished folding a kimono Sango had bought for her when there was a knock at the door.
"Go away Inuyasha!" Kagome called out and put her necklace back on.
Lady Kaede opened the door and quietly entered the room. When Kagome heard the the sound of shoes
being removed she slowly turned. Who she saw startled her.
"I'm sorry I thought that you were-" Kagome started but was cut off by Lady Kaede.
"I know who ye thought I was. What exactly do you want?" Lady Kaede asked, she didn't think that
this woman before her could be her granddaughter, though she looked it.
"A family. I haven't known who I was for ten years now. I was hoping against hope you could tell
me who I was..." Kagome said, fighting the tears that were threatening to spill.
"Well, I don't know who you are, but you certainly do look like my Kagome." she said, and turned
to leave, the oil on her hands scent drifted its way to Kagome's nose.
"Jasmine?" she asked, getting a hit of her memory back.
"An oil for my hands." Lady Kaede said, pausing where she stood.
"I remember...I stole a bottle of it. I poured it onto my sleeping kimono everyday a few hours
before I went to sleep, to pretend that it was you holding me in your arms...Oh how I missed you
when you left. For here, Tokyo." Kagome said turning to look at the old woman who had sat down
on a futon staring at the woman before her.
Kagome had begun fingering her necklace and it caught Lady Kaede's glance.
"What is that?" she asked pointing to the necklace.
"Oh this? I've had it for as long as I can remember..." Kagome said showing her the pendant.
"Can I see it?" Kaede asked and got a nod and was handed the necklace by the young woman. "This
is part of a secret...A secret between my Kagome and myself."
Kaede reached into a fold of her kimono and pulled out the box containing the Shikon Jewel. When
Kagome saw the box she gasped in surprise. Reaching her hand out she took the box gently into
her hand.
"The Shikon Jewel. I remember, I was to protect it when I turned eight. I didn't think I could
handle the responsibility of protecting the family heirloom at such a young age and you said you
would give it to Kikyo. I said no, I would do it." Kagome said, her voice trailing off.
Kaede stared at her and handed her the necklace back. Kagome took the key and put it into the
keyhole turning the key and opened the box. Kagome stared at the pink jewel in the box, it glowed
brilliantly in the light of the room.
"Ye are Kagome. My Kagome." Kaede said and threw her arms around Kagome in a tight embrace.
Kagome smiled and held the women crying softly into her with happiness. She had finally found
her family, and she where she belonged.
~*~Meanwhile~*~
Inuyasha sat outside on the car and smiled, he had finally done something right with his life. He
had reunited his old friend with her family, fulfilled his promise, and found love. But why wasn't
he all that happy about the last part?
