A/N: Hiya! Kiwi's back! And she has an announcement to make! (clears
throat) Okaykay, see, now I might just cut my updating down from every
other day to only once or twice a week - it depends on how much homework I
have and how many dishes are in the sinkay? (dodges coke cans thrown by
Lavender) I'll try to make this longerkay?! Don't be too disappointed, at
least I update faster than most people do (no offense to them of course)!
Thank you for all my reviews! I never thought I'd actually have this many
in two days! (Kiwi gives out more cookies to everyone who reviewed) It's
weird though, everytime I update at night, I seem to have more reviews in
the morningkay (I get online at school)! Do you guys live in another time
zone or something?! Keep reading everyone! And thanx! On with the fic!
P.S. There will be something special at the end of the chapterkay? No it's not another poem, but I think I'll rarely do thiskay?

Chapter 4 -
The Human-Demon Revolution
@-}------------
Kagome smiled nervously at the two hopeful-looking boys. "Hello, who might you two be?" Kagome asked. Sango appeared next to Kagome.
"Hi, you guys come on in! We need to talk anyway." She opened the door further and the two boys walked in and sat on the couch opposite the sofa. "Kagome, this is Hojo," she pointed to the boy with brown hair."And this is Koga." She pointed to the boy with the high ponytail. Kagome noticed Inuyasha and Koga giving each other death glares, until Sango explained why she was introducing them to Kagome. "You see guys, that accident Kagome was in, well, she sort of doesn't remember anything that happened before it."
The boys turned their eyes toward Kagome as if her face would tell them Sango was kidding. She laughed nervously under their gaze until Koga got up and took Kagome's hand in his.
"Don't worry Kagome," he said looking into her chocolate eyes."I'll help you in any way I can!" Hojo let out a "Me, too!"
"Feh," Inuyasha said failing to cover up his grumbling."Like you know the first thing about her . . . "
Koga's head jerked in his direction."And like you do, Dog Turd!"
"What'd you say you wimpy wolf?!"
"Did I stutter?"
"Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!" Kagome said standing between the two waving her arms."Don't fight! I bet both of you know a lot about me! Just don't fight!" Kagome felt like she had done this before, but she knew she didn't, she couldn't have, and she had never met any of them before. A flash of a scene appeared in Kagome's mind, and it disappeared as soon as it came. After it disappeared, Kagome's head started to hurt; like a monster migraine had just come on. She grabbed her head and her vision became blurry as she sunk to the ground feeling two pairs of strong arms catch her. She saw a scene of Koga and Inuyasha arguing at a park or somewhere. 'But that can't be . . . How can I remember them if I don't know them? . . . ' Her mind became blank.
@-}------------
Kagome was lying on something soft. 'Not again . . . ' she thought slowly sitting up. 'Hey, maybe all that was just a dream and I'm home again!' Her eyes flew open taking in her surroundings ignoring the skull- splitting headache taking place in her brain. She was lying on the living room sofa with Sango sitting across from her looking worried. As soon as Kagome sat all the way up, Sango came over and sat next to her.
"Are you all right Kagome? You were out two hours . . . "
"Uh, yeah, just a little tired that's all." She lied.
"I sent everyone home so you could rest some more. I called the doctor, too, he says that this is pretty normal for people who have lost their memory. Did you have a headache? That must be signs of you're remembering something!"
"Yeah." She said unsurely. "I just saw Koga and Inuyasha arguing -"
"Good! Great! They do that all the time!"
"Hmm . . . "
"You sure you feel okay? I made some soup," she bribed.
"No, I'm good, Sango, thank you." She looked up into Sango's smiling face. She cared so much for Kagome; worried about her and wanting her to be all right . . .
"Sango, how did we end up alone like this again? I remember you saying our parents were killed . . . "
"Oh," Sango's smiled faded into a sad frown. She got up and went to a small coffee table near by and opened the drawer to fish out a picture. She closed it and handed the picture to Kagome. "That's them." She said sadly. Kagome's own mother was in the picture standing next to a man who had both hands on two boys; one of them had freckles, his short black hair tied up at the top, and the other, was Souta . . .
Kagome rubbed the picture. "Souta . . . " she breathed out. Kagome heard a sharp intake of breath. She turned to see Sango's face light up.
"You remember Souta, Kagome!" she exclaimed. Kagome wanted to tell her she didn't remember because she already knew him, but decided against it. Sango leaned over and pointed to the other boy. "This is Kohaku, our other brother."
"Well, where are they?"
Sango sighed and sat back. "Our parents died in the ongoing Human- Demon Revolution. Naraku killed them and Souta while they were out, and . . . " tears were falling from her pained face."Naraku has Kohaku, as his personal puppet." Her eyes became hard. "Naraku is the cause of the Human- Demon Revolution. He may be a hanyou, but he's more powerful than any full- blooded demon you could meet. You see, he and a lot of other demons don't want to live in harmony with humans, think they're too good I guess. And hanyous, much like Inuyasha don't know which side to choose, but don't worry," she said seeing Kagome's doubt."He's on our side. And, well, since they're hanyous, they can choose whichever side they want to be on. Then, again, not all demons are for Naraku, like Koga, he's a good demon. In fact, he's one of the guards to the city to protect us from Naraku's forces. Everyone wants to get their hands on Naraku for something he did."
"Miroku?"
"Naraku cursed his family years ago with a wind tunnel in their right hands. It sucks in anything that it can pull in, but it will eventually suck him in, too if he doesn't kill Naraku."
"Even Shippo?" she turned to face her.
"Mm-hm." She nodded her head."Naraku hired people to kill all demons who opposed him, and Shippo's parents were one of them."
" . . . Inuyasha?" she asked reluctantly.
"Yes. Naraku was responsible for breaking up Inuyasha and Kikyo. Naraku poisoned her mind and now she's under his control. Though, I never really liked the pale bitch - her eyes were always too cold . . . "
"Kikyo?"
"Oh, yeah, she was Inuyasha's girlfriend. Even though she's helplessly controlled by Naraku now, Inuyasha won't give up to set her soul free."
"Oh." Kagome said sadly. "So that's all Naraku wants? To rid the world of humans?"
"That and the fact he wants to find the Shikon No Tama, Jewel of Four Souls, or how we like to call it, the Shikon Jewel."
"Where is it?"
"That's what everyone wants to figure out! We don't know where it is, and neither does Naraku. The only one who came even close to cracking the puzzle was, you . . . " her voice softened. "That day you were injured, you said you had a good hunch about where to find it, but you said you had to do something later on. I guess you had to meet Inuyasha, since that's what he told me."
"So are my motives to kill Naraku the same as yours? And why does Naraku want the Shikon Jewel anyway?"
"Yes, and because you hate to see the way he treats everyone, and he wants it to become a whole demon. If we knew what he looked like, we could chase him down, but he's a shape-shifter, it's impossible. Think of the utter chaos he could cause if he found the Shikon Jewel."
"Hmmm . . . " Kagome looked into her lap brooding.
The phone rang. "I'll get it." Sango got up and pressed the screen on the vid phone. By the cheerful way she sounded, it must have been a friend, because she pulled up a chair and chatted wildly. Kagome set the picture down on the sofa and got up. 'I'm going for a walk outside." She mouthed to Sango. She nodded and continued talking.
@-}------------
Kagome wandered around the shrine, enjoying the soft spring breeze. 'You could just swear I'm home.' She thought. She was walking toward the shrine steps when she saw someone coming up. His wavy black hair was blowing in the breeze as his blood-red eyes fell upon her. Obviously, he was a demon. 'Or a hanyou.' He stopped walking when he reached the top of the stairs.
"Kagome."
