This is an explanation chapter as well as a small clippet of Konte... um yeah...

(Side note: Thanks about the parody, everyone, but... I guess I portrayed that it was mine! Gomen! I didn't write it, I got it from Fluffy Mag and it would be wrong to claim it....)

'I had a good life, I was in control, and I didn't care about much of anything other then work. Sure I had a girlfriend, but she was more of a liability... I never loved her. Then Kagome 'crashes into my life' I have never felt this way before, I never even wanted to feel this way! I feel... such a need to protect her, to love her, and a tremendous feeling of guilt...' Konte thought to himself in his room. He didn't get the response he was looking for to his presumptuous reasoning... In fact, he didn't know WHAT he was hoping to hear. He didn't know what he was going to do. He didn't even know if he COULD do anything! Rolling over on his bed, Konte tried to go to sleep. It didn't take long for his jumbled mind to slow, and sleep overcame.

"Kagome, where are you?"

"I'm right here Inu-Yasha!" He turned around but couldn't see anyone.

"I can't see you Kagome! I don't want to lose you..."

"Silly boy, you won't lose me, I'll always be with you."

"But... I can't see... I don't understand! What am I supposed to do?" He questioned, turning around once more.

"Follow your nose, dog-boy, follow your nose!"

This is for DC... and many others who have absolutely no clue what is going on... Read at your own risk, I skip around a lot...

Explanations/ Overview, a.k.a. the other parts of the story I didn't get into.....

Ok, this might make the story less confusing, but it will give away the exciting ending.... are you suuuuure you want it? oooook...

Way back to the time when Kagome was going around getting the shards, before 'the' fight.... They had heard of a new ruler in the south, of course Inu-Yasha didn't care, and it really didn't affect any of them at the time. More and more people spread stories of his 'special powers' and how no one could stand in his way blah blah blah.... They carried on with their shard hunt. Kagome needed to go back to her time, for a reason that I did not emphasize at ALL, but I wish I had because it would help in my story later... Anyway, Inu-Yasha got all bent on it; he needed her to find the rest of the Shikon Shard. (We find out later his need for immediate action on this) Kagome left, Inu-Yasha is confronted by Naraku, because (we will find out later!) then.... Inu-Yasha kills him... (We find out about this later as well).... Inu's wounds are fatal... Kagome comes back... He is dying Kagome cry's and so forth... Moving on; While Kagome is gone, the ruler of the south has changed many things, and is constantly watching Kagome; he is evil... and you will find out his EEEEVVVVIIIILLL plot, later.... he has altered time, causing everything in Kagome time to change, but of course he made mistakes... Back to Kagome, she meets Konte, Inu- Yasha's reincarnation, (also part of the evil dude's plot... oops, too much info... do I care?) therefore triggering long lost memories. After talking to a few people, remembering, and realizing things, he decides to talk to good ol' big bro. (Who is the same Sesshoumaru from the past) Part of Konte being Sessh's adopted brother is in 'Big bad ugly's scheme, though no one realizes this for a while. Everything that has gone wrong, seems to come from one choice made a long time ago, (also one of the reasons Inu is mad a Kag)..... Fluffy married Rin a long time ago, supposedly, and she has lived along with him, (of course I am not at all sure about the whole 'demon mate thing' whether there mate gets an extended life or not, so just go with it....) If you are still with me, and haven't gotten tired of this ramble of mine, then I will continue... The lord of the south, Genku Shinai, changed the past and Inu-Yasha's/ Fluffy's dad remained alive, meaning that Sessh, isn't, and never was, Lord of the west, meaning that half of his hatred for Inu-Yasha was diminished... The whole world was changed... deeeeep.... Naraku is in league with the bad guy, duh, but he has another plan up his sleeve... He is also the one that 'poisoned' Inu-Yasha's mind into thinking what he thinks Kagome did... (you will find out later) I am going to open up another can of worms in the next few chapters, and I am going threw MAJOR wrighters block, I cannot go between where the chars are now, and where they get to... You think reading it is complicated! HEH, WRIGHTING IT IS A LOT WORSE!!!! *sees everyone staring at her* eh... yeah sorry for my outburst... Continuing; Sessh is coming back into the picture, Miroku is just gonna be stuck for a while, and you will find out the next time I post where Sango is..... (A little bit of info, Naraku never died? *gasp*)

Note:

I will try to answer any questions that anyone might have, but a lot of the answers will probably be 'you will find out later' so... sorry DC but I just cannot make the confusion go down, what kind of story would it be if you knew everything about everything right out? Have a question? Just ask lol....
