Chapter 11 –
Family Ties
@-}------------
Kagome lay awake in her bed staring at the ceiling. It had been a hectic two weeks; with fighting over the Shikon Jewel, classes, and certain disturbing memories haunting her mind all the time. Throughout that time, Kagome had sensed the jewel three more times, and had lost it with each attempt. Naraku was always there (or a puppet) and even Kikyo had shown her face once. Kagome was lucky she wasn't dead yet. Though while all this had been going on, Sango had taught her how to re-master her archery, and it came in handy many a time.
She still went to all her classes at JU (Jidaijan University), and saw Katen, and even Hojo, on campus a few times. When she needed help on a subject, all she had to do was call either of them up and they'd come to her rescue with notes and homework tips. Koga had came to visit her at home and taken her on a date, well, what he called a date. Sitting around and talking about killing Naraku's minions and his obsession with Kagome, wasn't what she would call a date.
Miroku was still around, of course. He and Sango were becoming quite close and they could have had a good thing going if it weren't for Miroku's wandering hand. Nonetheless, they still went out with each other occasionally, and sometimes he even offered to stay and help clean up around the shine. When Shippo's foster parents would allow it, most of the time they did, they would let him stay with Sango or Kagome, when they were available, after school.
Then, of course there was Inuyasha. He was as easy to figure out as a Rubik's cube. At times he would be so kind to her, then he would just explode out of anger at another. He'd be sulking one moment, then happy the next. 'Maybe Inuyasha's pregnant . . . ' Though she knew that was impossible. He seemed to be spending a lot more time with her than usual despite the way he acted some of the time. Any time the subject of Naraku was brought up, he quickly changed it. 'To avoid steering the conversation toward Kikyo, I bet.' Thinking about Kikyo, Kagome thought back to all the memories that seemed to be coming back to her at the most awkward of times.
Once when she was sitting in a history lecture, an odd memory came back to her. One about Kikyo. She, Sango, and Miroku were at a party of some sort and were standing outside talking when they heard shouting.
"Wonder who that is?" Sango had asked aloud looking out towards the side of the house.
"Probably someone who got drunk a bit too early." Miroku commented.
Kagome held a worried look on her face. She motioned at her half empty cup and said,"I gonna get some more punch, okay?"
They nodded and she slinked off around the house to find Inuyasha and Kikyo yelling at each other. She quickly slipped back behind the corner and peeked her head around it. They were standing across from each other, so Kagome could see both their faces clearly enough.
"I don't even know why I'm here! I might as well go for all you care!"
"What is the matter with you, Kikyo?! It's like you've got this entirely different personality! What's wrong? Just tell me!"
"You are what's wrong, Inuyasha! I can't stand you anymore! We're through!"
"Through?" The pain on Inuyasha's face made Kagome's heart break.
"Yes. I don't want to see you anymore. You can go hang all over that lookalike of me as often as you please now." With that said, she averted her eyes from him and for a second, Kagome thought she was headed her way, but she stormed off in the opposite direction, much to Kagome's relief. Inuyasha released a heavy sigh and sat on a bench against the wooden gate with his head in his hands. She turned her head back away from the scene that had just taken place and pressed herself against the wall. She bit her lip as she decided to wait a moment before going to Inuyasha's aid.
After the eternal minutes passed, she decided to show herself. She took a few steps and came from around her corner. Inuyasha's ear twitched and his head popped up, his glossy, pained eyes boring into her apprehensive brown ones.
Kagome smiled wryly and said in a small voice,"Inuyasha?"
It was then that Professor Morioe was asking a student to send her to the campus medical center after trying to get her attention for ten minutes. Kagome growled in frustration and turned to her side facing away from the wall. She hated it when her memories just ended abruptly like that. And she didn't like to tell Sango about them, because she'd doubt Sango would know what she was asking about. It was like the time when she had another memory about going to a farm and fighting with a goat over her favorite shirt; Sango didn't know what she was talking about. 'Okay, maybe that was a dream. I can hardly tell anymore.'
Besides that, there were some things that she didn't WANT to talk to Sango about. She had another memory about walking home with Sango when she was supposedly drunk. Kagome wasn't a psychic, but she didn't even think Sango would tell her about that even if she knew about it. Or remembered it. However, when Kagome needed help trying to piece together her puzzling memories, Sango was always right there to help her through them. She was always happy to help, too. Everytime Kagome would ask about something, Sango's face would light up and she wouldn't shut up for hours, though Kagome had no problem with that, she loved hearing about stories from her past. She especially liked hearing about her unknown brother, Kohaku. Kagome had a hard time finding out as much as she wanted to about him because Sango would get teary and start to cry. Kagome asked Sango why she never saw Kohaku out of all the battles they had with Naraku and she replied that it was only to spite them and make them miserable. All she knew about Kohaku was that he was under Naraku's control and loved animals. That was about it. That was about all she knew about him - up until yesterday.

She was out with Katen and Shippo that day. She was babysitting Shippo when Katen came by the shrine to ask her to go for a walk with him. At first she declined to go, but Shippo insisted that he wanted to get out and go play in the sun. So, with that, they were off combing through uncharted and unwalked through parts of the still unfamiliar city. Kagome stopped when Katen led her to a subway station.
"What's the matter Kagome?" Shippo asked from Kagome's shoulder, Katen turned around.
"We're taking the subway?"
"Well, yeah. I figured you'd had enough of this sleepy town."
Kagome's eyes widened."Sleepy town? THIS is a sleepy town?" she crossed her arms and looked at him indignantly."Tokyo is not a sleepy town."
"Tokyo?" Shippo asked."Where's that?"
Kagome stared at Shippo incredulously."What do you mean where? We live in Tokyo!"
Katen came over and put a gentle hand on Kagome's shoulder."You don't know where we live, Kagome? You've been out of the hospital for how long and you still don't know the name of this city?"
Kagome's arms slipped to her side. Her mouth opened and closed, but no sound came out.
"We live in Seiki City. Where we're about to go is Oykot. I think you were thinking backwards." He took her hand, somewhat tentatively, and led her towards the subway station.
The doors of the subway station opened smoothly when they arrived. Kagome felt like she was at the amusement park again, looking around in wonder. This place hadn't looked anything like a regular subway station; it looked bright and clean with giant tubes everywhere. What looked like pill- shaped capsule cars were pulling up towards groups of awaiting people. When they boarded onto the capsule, it sped off through the many interlocking tubes ahead of it.
Shippo noticed Kagome's bright face and asked,"You like it Kagome? It's pretty, isn't it?"
"Yeah . . . "she breathed still looking around.
Katen smiled at Kagome's child-like wonder and had to pull her to a bench."Wait here; I'll get the chips."
Kagome snapped out of her trance-like state."Chips? Don't you mean tickets?"
He laughed."No." He walked off to get the "chips". She took Shippo off of her shoulder and set him down on the bench.
"Hey, Shippo, I want to look around some more." She said getting up."Come on."
"B-but what about Katen?"
"He'll find us." She thought about that for a moment."I hope so." Kagome wandered off taking in her surroundings. Besides the many capsule cars, as she dubbed them, there were mini tubes where people actually got in and vanished. The sight reminded her of a Star Trek episode.
"Shippo, what are those?" She pointed toward the mini tubes.
"Huh?" he hopped back onto her shoulder."Oh, those are vransporters."
"Vransporters? . . . "
"Yeah, those can only transport you places in to the metro area. They can't transport you to different cities like the Velo trams can." He pointed to the capsule cars.
"Oh. Well why can't –Oof! "Kagome got cut off as something bumped into her. She looked down to see a young boy on the floor with Shippo on top of him.
"Oh, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to! I wasn't watching where I was going." He hauled himself up along with Shippo and handed him back to Kagome.
"Don't worry, I wasn't watching either. You okay, Shippo?" He nodded and she finally looked into her forgotten brother's eyes. Short black hair pulled into a ponytail on the top of his head, freckles, soft brown eyes – it was Kohaku all right.
Kagome stared unbelievably at him."Kohaku?"
The boy quirked an eyebrow and gave her a quizzical look. He looked from Kagome to Shippo and asked,"Do I know you people?"
Kagome felt a reverberating sadness go through her body. She felt unusually numb and just stared at the boy. He fidgeted and started looking worried and anxious.
"Well," he looked at his watch."I have to go. See you around." He gave a quick smile and curved around Kagome's still staring form. She couldn't forget that face. It was the smiling face she saw in so many pictures. Sango would flip if she told her this. Kohaku's disappearing figure was no longer in sight and Katen's approaching figure became visible. He noticed Kagome's unfocused and longing gaze and looked around him. He shrugged it off and held out his hand.
"Uhh, Kagome," her head turned towards him."Here." He put a red, transparent circular chip in her hand, handed Shippo a green one, and kept another green one for himself.
As Kagome was finally aware of what was going on, she stared at the chips they all had."Hey, why do you guys have green chips?"
"We're demons." Katen answered simply.
Kagome blinked."Say what now?"
"He said we're demons." Shippo repeated.
Kagome continued to stare at Katen."You're a demon?"
"Yeah . . . "he said slowly."That's not a problem, is it?"
"Oh, no! It's just, well, I didn't know that."
"You're serious?" He looked at her incredulously.
"Serious! I really didn't know."
Katen smiled and led them to a waiting platform."Riiiiiiight."
They stood among the throng of people and waited for their Velo tram to come along. Kagome's mind drifted back to Kohaku and a realization hit her – where there was Kohaku, there had to be Naraku somewhere. Before she could voice her thoughts, she felt a major migraine come on. This wasn't just any migraine; it was an extreme one. A memory was coming back AND she was sensing the jewel. Both her hands shot up to her head, as if trying to squeeze the pain out. It wasn't working. She screamed in agony as she sank to her knees. In her pain, she heard loud screams and deafening explosions. Her eyes wrenched open and became blank and glossy.
Her mind was set on fast-forward again, hovering around the subway station as if she knew where everything was; it raced past fleeing people and dodged large chunks of cement; it flew past serpent demons destroying everything they could get their slimy hands on; it zoomed past a chuckling Naraku standing by a zombie-like boy; it went by the steps and stopped at a crack in the wall; it went into the crack and orbited around the pink Shikon Jewel nestled between the jagged stone.
Her mind rewinded back and she gained control of her surroundings once again. She felt arms carrying her. She looked up into Katen's face and saw that he was running with Shippo on his shoulder. That was all that she could distinguish before an intense, sharp pain made itself known in her head. She groaned some more and reached a hand up to her head, but the pain wouldn't subside. As the migraine got worse, she squeezed her eyes shut and felt herself go limp. The last image she saw before giving herself up to darkness was a young, smiling freckled face.

Kagome had actually seen Kohaku in person that day, though that wasn't the end of her troubles; she still had a dream memory. Dream memories were what Kagome called the memories that oddly came in her sleep. That bad thing was, Kagome couldn't remember what the dream was about. Which brought her back to why she was staring at the ceiling in the first place – to try and remember what that dream was about. She hadn't told Sango about any of her "visions" and whatnot of the previous day, seeing as how she was knocked out, though she wouldn't tell her anyway.
Turns out that Naraku wrecked the subway station trying to find the Shikon Jewel. That confused Kagome, as well as Sango, Miroku, and Inuyasha, because she was the only one who could sense the jewel. Kagome had another one of her unpredictable migraines and was on the floor howling for about fifteen minutes before Naraku came along. Katen had high-tailed it out of there along with her and Shippo, and brought her back home to a worry- stricken Sango. Luckily, Naraku didn't get to the jewel fast enough before it disappeared again.
Kagome sighed and sat up deciding to go and eat some breakfast before her classes for the day started. While getting up and heading toward her door, a rather upsetting realization hit her. She thought back to the question Kohaku had asked her yesterday: "Do I know you people?" Her hand was poised on the doorknob and a cloudy expression filled her face. She finally knew how Sango felt when she asked her that exact same question.
