Disclaimer: I do not own Inu-Yasha...
Konte sat in a stupor, which was funny to see the strict businessman do. 'Kagome... I knew that there was something, but, I didn't realize...' He hadn't thought of disbelief, no thought of falseness, he KNEW that this tale was true, deep inside him, he knew.
"You understand what happened; now you need to stop what's happening..." Kagome's mother stated.
"What do you mean?" Konte looked up in confusion.
"It is the reason Souta and I do not remember the reason for Rin and your half brother..."
"Actually he's my step brother." Konte smiled
"What?"
"Yeah... I was adopted; his father fell in love with my 'mom'."
"How can that be?" She questioned to herself, "for Sesshoumaru's father died, when you were five years old... eh, Inu-Yasha I mean.... That was five hundred years ago!"
"I'm not sure, we didn't talk about it much." He shrugged, "what were you saying about what is going to happen?" Konte asked, changing the subject.
She decided to let it drop, "Yes, well Kagome told me of a theory she had, it concerns an old enemy of yours, Sango's, and Miroku's."
"Naraku."
"Yes. He was in league with the lord of the South, one who had recently risen to power, quite quickly I understand. They heard stories of the lord being a fowl player, much like Naraku, he would torment, and twist peoples lives for fun. On their journey, rumors and stories were starting to spread of his strange ways, people were saying that he was into the arts of an evil source of power; one that allowed him to hinder the minds of the people and demons that were affected." She paused, and in seeing Konte's odd glance, she explained; "Kagome and I had a long time to talk."
"Feh, guess so...."
"Anyway, Kagome fears that this lord has brought Naraku back to fulfill something... Who in turn has brought back Inu-Yasha... Kagome was supposed to return 2 days ago, she hasn't, and I fear the worst..." her voice filled with worry... Konte rose and started toward the door. "Where are you going?"
"I am going to find Kagome..."
"Wait! You can't!" With the look of utter determination that she saw in his eyes, Kagome's mother decided not to protest, "....You can't... go without a shard..." She finished smiling. With that she ran up to her daughter's room.
************************************************************************
'Where is this place? Kagome thought as she wandered the long corridor. The air almost seemed tinted with a reddish fog that gave everything the same hue. She had woken up minutes earlier on a huge white pillow, in a nondescript room with nothing covering the walls, and with nothing on the floor but the big center cushion. To Kagome this was a dream land, after the reality of touch, and emotion came back to her, the wake of this place pushed it past the 'believable'. When she came to the end, a lone door stood there, getting past her doubts, she entered.
"So you finally awoke, welcome miko." A cool voice spoke from the throne at the far end of the room. Kagome looked up and gasped at the sight that met her.
************************************************************************
After searching her daughter's room, to find nothing, she realized that her daughter had the shard with her, and the only way to get through the well was with those shards. How was Konte supposed to get through the well, and find her daughter?! She slowly walked down the stairs in silent depression. 'I know something has happened to her, either by Inu-Yasha, or...'
"Is something wrong?" Konte's voice pulled her out of her worrying thoughts.
"Huh? Oh, yes, something is wrong; Kagome has the only shard here."
His face fell, and something new took over his eyes, a look of pure love, anguish and determination. He would get to his Kagome, no matter what it took....
************************************************************************
Later that night:
"For the last time you can NOT come over!" Pause, click. 'goodnight to you too, bitch...' Konte thought as he lay in bed, forcefully trying to get Kagome out of his mind. Ever since this morning he was filled with this, feeling... Like something turned 'on' inside of his heart. He almost disliked what it was doing to him; it made him feel like his resistance of the female society, crumble. A weakness toward any person was scorned upon in his family, especially in his line of work. 'Is this why I've felt an empty longing for so long?' The thought of needing anyone to complete him made Konte angry, but Kagome, she, she was special; he didn't know how, or why, but deep down, he knew that he needed her.
************************************************************************
"Sesshoumaru!" Kagome stood amazed.
"I, Sesshoumaru, I have brought you here to discuss the reasons for my half- breed brothers return, and the situation we have found ourselves in," he said his voice cold.
Kagome tried to collect herself, but a whiff of faintness overcame her, and she slid to the floor, holding her head. Kagome looked up, "why? Why would you need me?" Her voice brimming with frustration; her head hurt.
"For you are the only one who can control it; I know of your origin and the quest you undertook. Now there is a new force at work here, one not even I can overcome." Sesshoumaru told, in a bitter way. He felt weak, conversing with a pathetic human, about his inability to handle the situation. But it was needed, this 'being' could take over his lands the second he chose to attack, and Sesshoumaru would not stand for it. He glided from the throne, stopping at the entrance, "I will have a servant show you to your room," he said coolly, with that he left her alone in the throne room.

Authors note: I'm just going through the chapters fast, so you are getting a short chapter a day, instead of a long one every 2 or 3... Considering I enjoy having a small cliffy at the end of each chapter, I thought this would be more likable for the people reading, but I can do long chapters instead of short if that is what everyone wants. It just means you have to wait longer to find out what happens ;) R&R PLEASE!!!! Byes (I just realized that Kagome was going back to the present time to tell her mother that Inu-Yasha was back, but I had Inu-Yasha stop her before she left... Now her mom knows about Inu-Yasha... eh... should I rewrite it?)
