Kagome sat there wondering.... 'my cousin....my cousin Rin? HOW COME I NEVER REALIZED I HAD A COUSIN RIN? That cannot be a coincidence can it? No, couldn't be.... Am I going insane? I KNOW I have a cousin Rin, I've known for...forever! What was her husbands name again? OH MY GOSH! She said it was Sessh.... SESSHOUMARU!!!! OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Calm down now, Kag... Logic, think about it.... What could have caused me to not realize before? It is like I have memories of being together.... but.... they are mixed in with all the others! Like extra cards being shuffled in to a full deck....'

"Am I interrupting something?"

Kagome jumped five feet in the air. "What the?!!!!! I mean.... I'm sorry" Catching her breathe she looked up, "I didn't see you..." She was frozen.... Her eyes glued to his face. 'I wasn't imagining'

"What.......? WHAT IS IT?" The man yelled.

"I-Inu-Yasha!!!!" With that she threw herself on him crying......

"Wha-!!" He didn't quite know what to do about that.

"Oh! What happened Inu-Yasha???!!! Why are you wearing these clothes? How did you get here?!!! You've been gone SO long! I knew you couldn't be dead, I knew! You were with me the whole time, just like you said you would!!!!" She spat that out so fast the man could hardly understand.

"I don't know what your talking about! My name ISN'T Inu-Yasha!" he said quickly trying to get the hysterical girl of him as quick as he could..... When he succeeded, he backed away. Kagome gave him a quizzical look.... 'Why doesn't he remember me??' the hurt she felt showed.

"I just came by to tell you the case is in three days and I intend to win, I have never met you before... (In a sarcastic tone) you're right I was never DEAD, and am wearing these clothes because I am on my way to work..." He Looked at his clock, "WHICH I WILL BE LATE FOR IF I DON'T GET IN AT FIVE!! F*CK" He turned quickly to leave; looking back at her as he headed toward the door, he saw the anguish in her eyes and something in his heart panged. 'What is wrong with me?' He swore to himself that he would get though this case quickly, and not waste another moment of thought on this insane girl.

****************

At the office, he not only spent time thinking about Kagome he questioned and tore at himself for what he felt.... What was it that made him take pity on this person? He NEVER did that, he was a business-man; get through a case, (and win by the way) and move on without loss from his company.... And maybe you could cripple someone else in the process (hehe).... He shook his head.... 'I'm getting soft over a girl, one that I have only just met as well.... Feh!'

************************************************************************

Sitting there thinking, brought on a mess of emotions and memories.... The day of his death replayed over an over in her mind..... "I ju-just wanted to tell you that I will al-always be there for you.I-I" His words drifted through her mind, forever trapped in the horror that was memory.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (Next Day)

"Good Morning! How are you feeling today?" The woman asked kindly.

"I'm fine, thanks...." Kag answered the nurse blandly. All night, that dream haunted her.... The day was almost worse, for conscious thought, hurt a lot more. What did he mean not his name? Why did he not know her? Rin, my COUSIN...... What caused this?? Why didn't I realize? The answers leapt just out of reach of her pondering thoughts.... Something must have happened in the past that shouldn't have... Why didn't I think of that before? Something must have happened that altered time....! But how??? It is impossible... Isn't it?

"MIROKU YOU PERVERT!!!"

"Why must we continually go through this?!" Shippou questioned to no one in particular.

Miroku walked a few steps behind Sango, sporting a fashionable red hand print on his face. (lol) With arms out in an innocent way he turned to her again..... "It isn't my fault, Sango! You're just too beautiful to ignore!!!!!"

"Yeah? Well I do not want you paying THAT much attention to me!" Sango turning around, (back to Miroku? BAD IDEA) breathe a sigh of frustration.... hitting Miroku on the head with her boomerang. *Sweatdrop*

"Going for two-in-a-row....risky..." commented, the bored Shippou. (Sorry for the small snippets of Miroku's pervertedness..... We'll we more of them soon... maybe with more interaction with other peoples as well)
