I would like to say one thing, and this is the LAST time I'm saying it.
NO EPILOUGE. NO SEQUEL.
And, I have decided I will not do an alternative ending. It would ruin the real ending, and there will be no feeling left.
ANYONE WHO ASKS, WILL PERSONALLY BE STRANGLED.
On with the story! ^.^

"I can't believe your here with me now either.. but, please, can I ask
you something?" He said, warily.
"Yes." She said, wondering what was on his mind.
"Do you trust me? Trust me enough, to tell me anything?" He looked into
her eyes, pleading with them.
"Yes." She repeated.
"Well, what happened, when you were twelve? Your past.. explain to me."
He said, hoping she would trust him enough, or STILL trust him enough,
to tell him. He wanted to know, and he wanted to make sure nothing like
that happened to her again, he didn't want to see her hurt. He loved her,
and he would always protect her, worse comes to worse. Even in death.
She looked him in the eyes.
"I will tell you." She took a deep breath, and began the tale to a story,
long, long, ago.
"It all began, when I walked in the door.."

"It all began, when I walked in the door.."
-Flashback-
A young Kagome walked into the door of her house, and went up-stairs,
because she had a long day, and went to get on the computer. She logged
on, and signed in, checking her email and other things.
After she was done, she sat on her bed and began to write another
chapter to a story she was writing for a school project. You had to write
a three chapter book about your favorite thing. She was writing chapter's
on how to take care of a dog, because she just loved them with all her
heart.
That summer, she had helped out at the local pet shop, and saved
so many animals. It was a really wonderful feeling, especially when people
came to pick them out. The smiles on their faces was priceless.
Even though she didn't have a dog, she still knew all about them.
She had a calico cat, named Buyo. He was fat, but when he rolled over,
it was a definite Kodak moment!
The phone rang in her room, so she went to go answer it, "Hello?"
"Hey, Kags! Its Yuka! I have a question.." She said, her voice trailing
off.
"Sure, what is it?" Kagome was all ready to help out anyone, she
was known for this sort of thing. She seemed to know the answer to everything,
in a good way!
"Well, you know, I like Hojou, right?"
"Right.."
"Well, he asked me out. Should I say yes?" She said, warily.
"Of course, I--" She was cut off when she heard glass and something
big fall over downstairs, "I gotta' go, sorry. I think something just happened.
But say yes, bye!"
She hung up the phone, and put it on the receiver. She opened the
door, only to hear muffled cries. "Hey, is everyone alright down there?"
She yelled from the top of the stairs.
No one answered. For some reason, in the pit of her stomach, she
knew this was not good..
She went down the stairs quietly, grabbing a baseball bat from her
brother, Souta's room. She got to the bottom of the stairs, and turned
to the room that was right below her's. Right where she heard the noise.
She dropped the baseball bat. "Oh..my..Lord.." Her eye's widened
about as big as two football fields.
"KAGOME! GET DOWN NOW!" Her mother, Mrs. Higurashi screamed. A gun
shot was heard, but luckily it didn't hit her, and she looked at the person
holding the gun.
Her own father.
"You... you're supposed to be in the asylum! Your not supposed to
be here!" Kagome choked out, still on the ground.
"Well, I just came back to visit my precious family..is there something
WRONG WITH THAT?" He shot the chandelier above the door, and it came crashing
to the floor.
Bits and pieces of glass were on the floor, so if she made a run
for it, she couldn't, because she would get cut too badly. He had this
planned out perfectly.. 'He is going to kill us, isn't he?' Tears started
welling up in her eye's.
"Kagome, what's wrong? You've never CRIED before. Scared of your
own father.. PITIFUL!" She held back her tears just because she didn't
want her father to have the satisfaction of seeing her cry.
"I'll give you something to be scared of.."
*BANG!*
Her mother fell to the floor, blood seeping out of her head. "M-m-m-m-om.."
she choked out. "How..fucking..DARE YOU!" She grabbed the baseball bat,
and slammed him in the head with it.
She was about to do it again, but, he had grabbed Souta and held
a dagger now to his throat. "One move, and he's as good as dead. Just like
your MOTHER." He laughed evilly, and she just stood there seething with
anger.
"Its a pity really. You were such good people. Its time, for everyone
to die now." He moved his hand across Souta's throat, the dagger along
with it. Slowly, he slit his throat right in front of her, blood dropping
to the ground in buckets.
Souta screamed, and fell to the ground. Her mother, and brother,
had just been killed. Right before her eyes. By her OWN father.
She screamed, and slammed him in the head, once again, finally knocking
him unconscious. She jumped over the glass, and went to the telephone,
"Hello. Someone PLEASE help! A murderer is in my house, and he just KILLED
MY MOM AND BROTHER! HELP!!"
"What is your address, young lady?"
"2767 Sunset Drive, Tokyo, Japan!"
"Okay, we'll have police and ambulances there in no time." The lady
spoke, then hung up.
She was about to put the phone back into the receiver, when something
grabbed her leg, and pulled her down to the floor. "How, dare you.. do
this to your own father.. you will DIE!" He was about to strangle her with
his bare hands, but she bit them, and jumped up.
She ran to her room, and locked it. She could hear shuffling noises
downstairs, and she screamed when a knife went straight through her door.
He was just about to bust it down, when she heard the police bust in.
"POLICE! COME OUT NOW, WITH YOUR HANDS UP!" A squad of about twenty
men came in, searching the place high and low. They had put the bodies
outside with the ambulance, still looking for the criminal and the girl.
"SHOW YOURSELF!" They yelled. It was quiet.. TOO quiet..
*BANG!*
Ten cops were shot down, now desperately trying to cling to life.
To no avail. They died. Kagome gasped, watching this all from a hole
in her door her father had made. He was hiding, and shooting the cops from
around the corners.
He kept doing so, when she saw, only one cop was left. This time,
he snuck up behind her father and said, "Don't move you bastard, or I'll
kill you."
Her father was surprisingly calm, he just said, "Please, it would
be my pleasure!" He shot himself in the head, and in the heart. He fell
down, a limp body, and died right there.
When Kagome was sure he was dead, she ran out to the police officer,
and cried.
He cried along with her, and said, "Come with me."
She followed, and before she knew it, she was put in an orphanage,
up for adoption.
Since then, she never had the motivation to talk.
But, right before she went there, she had made one last stop at the
school to say good-bye to Inuyasha. Then, the police officer came to pick
her up, and she wasn't heard from again, since then.
***
She was at the end, and close to the end, she had been crying, and somehow
ended up in Inuyasha's arms. "I'm so sorry.. Kagome.." He held her
frail body to his, and stroked her hair.
"Its..not your.. fault.." She choked out.
"I know, but I don't like seeing you sad, you know? I hate it when people
cry, girl's the most. Especially girls like you, Kagome. Your meant
to be happy." He said, still holding her in his arms.
(I will give you ten cookies if you know where I got that 'Your meant
to be happy.' line from. ^_^)
Kagome smiled. "Thank you.. Inuyasha.." She fell asleep in his arms.
He kissed her on the forehead, and said, "Goodnight, my love." He lifted
her up bridal style, and brought her into her own room. He put her down
and put the cover's over her. He looked at the clock, 4:00 PM, and he went
out the door. He closed it, and turned around, and screamed.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU GUY'S DOING HERE?!" Inuyasha yelled, at
the three figure's standing in front of him. "When, how, who and why. Answer,
NOW!"
"Don't get all pissy now, Inuyasha. When, we got here about an
hour ago. We kept calling for you, but no, no one answered! How,
the door was unlocked you ass. Why, because we were here
to help you out with your girl troubles, but by listening to that conversation
you just had now, I say you have it all planned out. Good job! Inuyasha
finally snagged a girl!" He finished, proudly.
"Twenty Seconds."
"Deal." They all flew out of the house, quicker than the olympic runners,
and slammed the door behind him.
"Damn Miroku, Sango, and Naraku."
***
AN: Ah yes, Kagome's past was discovered, finally! But now, there is only one final question to answer, and ONE final dispute.
What about Kouga?
Kouga VS. Inuyasha.
I will say this right now, that WILL be, the final battle. Grab some popcorn when you see that title in the chapter's list, for it will be the second to last chapter.
Now, I would just like to remind you, NO HAPPY ENDINGS HERE!
I think the ending is coming close.. so, make that popcorn...
And grab your tissues.
