Disclaimer: I do not own Inu-Yasha.

For so long now I have hidden my true nature. For so long now I have endured the constant ridicule and jeers from my unwanted traveling companion. He thinks he knows me. What a fool. I am nothing like the girl I pretend to be. That moron still believes I am just some weak reincarnation of the slut priestess Kikyo. I guess it just proves that I am a great actress. No, all that it proves is his great stupidity and blindness to what he does not want to see. I have had enough. Finally, the time has come for my revelation. I will show that boy what he has missed in his arrogance and ignorance. The Council of Elders has finally granted my request and I no longer have to hide my true identity. My suffering comes to an end on the night of the next full moon, three days from today. Until then, I shall secretly revel in the though of his surprise and bear all with a grin. Oh Inu-Yasha, prepare yourself. I am no longer going to be your verbal punching bag!

Kagome finishes her diary entry with a flourish and lays it to the side with a smirk. Glancing to her right, she reads the parchment that had just arrived once again. "Dear Kagome, we have careful considered your request and reviewed the memories you have sent to us. After much discussion we are pleased to inform you that your plea has been granted. On the night of the next full moon, you may reveal everything to your traveling companions. We hope that the boy, Inu-Yasha, will then treat you with the respect that is due to one of your special nature. Sincerely, The Council of Elders". She grins and moves to pack her things for another week in the past. For the first time she was actually looking forward to this trip. Sure, she loved Sango, Miroku, and Shippo, but somehow the last member of the party made her want to say 'screw it' and stay home.
Slowly, she puts clothing, food, and other random provisions into her overly large backpack and clamps it shut. Walking over to her closet, she grabs for her school uniform, but stops half way there. 'This is going to be a special week, a week of change. In honor of that, I should chance my appearance a bit'. Grabbing a black form fitting lacey spaghetti strap and light blue jeans with holes in the knees, she gets dressed. She then walks over to her jewelry box and selects a black chocker with little silver stars on it and little silver hoop earrings for her two sets of ear piercing with two studs for her upper left ear. She smiles at her reflection and places the shikon jewel around her neck. "Perfect".
Kagome grabs her pack and heads to the kitchen. Her mother looks up as soon as she enters. "Leaving again honey?" she asks lightly. "Yes, I'll be back in a week or two though" Kagome replies. "Alright dear. Is there anything you need before you go?" "No thanks mom. I'll see you later." Kagome says as she begins to walk out the door. "Oh Kagome..." Her mom calls after her. "Yea?" Kagome calls over her shoulder. "Be careful when you revel everything to Inu-Yasha. I don't want anyone to get hurt".
Kagome stands still for a moment before answering. "Mom, what makes you think anyone will get hurt? Everything will be fine" and with that she walks out the door to the well with shivers running up and down her spine.

AN: Well, this is my new story and I'm really sorry if you have been reading my other Inu-Yasha fanfiction. I swear I will try to finish it, but right now I have a major case of writers block with it. I am so sorry!
