Memories

Disclaimer: I don't own any inuyasha characters.........

When Kagome finished using the bathroom she went downstairs to have dinner with her family and new found uncle and cousin.

Miyaka and her father told stories about their life in America. They learned that Miyaka was in the army and she's a topnotch commander. When she was still training, she passed all their training with the highest record. They even learned that she's a sensei in sword fighting. She knows how to use daggers and some skills in handing a katana.

They were so awed because of the skills they learned she had. Kagome grew more suspicious about her.

'There is something about them that I can't pinpoint. It's like they are hiding their aura from m. do they know that I'm a miko?'

The night went on with more stories. They were sharing all the things that happened ever since Miyaka and her father left Japan to go to America. They went on all night until it was time to sleep.

Mr. Otaru was lead to grandpa's room, so grandpa and Souta slept together in Souta's room. Miyaka went to sleep with Kagome in her room. Miyaka unpacked her bag and Kagome helped her place her clothes in Kagome's drawer.

"So Kagome, tell me about what you have been doing here. It seems like you are the only one who didn't share something during dinner."

Kagome panicked for a moment then she said "Oh nothing much, you know just girl stuffs. Shopping, hanging out with friends."

"Do you have a boyfriend? You are beautiful, it is impossible that you don't still have a boyfriend. Don't worry cuz I won't tell aunt."

"I don't have one. Well there's this one guy he is so arrogant, selfish, insensitive but protective. He just see me a as a detector, oh I mean yeah a detector for girls eh he he. He is even sulking over his dead girl, can you believe it?"

"You as a girl detector? He wants you as a detector but he is sulking over his dead girl, can't get you cuz. What do you mean?"

"Ah……… it's like he's using me to look for someone who can replace her, yeah that's it he's just using me."

"Oh, okay now I understand you. He's just stupid. Don't worry if you just show him how you feel I think he will eventually realise that you like him."

"Hope you are right. Maybe one day he will. And the worst of all is he's sulking over the girl that doesn't care about him, a girlfriend who doesn't care."

"Doesn't care? I thought she's dead."

"Oh what I mean is, she didn't care about him. Yes that's it eh he he."

"Oh okay. Well that's all my clothes that's it. Thanks for helping me. Come on we should go to sleep now."

"That's okay you are my cousin and you are our guest. And cuz can I ask you a favour?"

"Sure what is it?"

"Um……………. Can …………….. You ………………………… teach me ……………. How to use a ……….. katana?"

"Katana? Why do you what to learn that?"

"Ummm… because I heard from your story that it is good on a close range combat. You know, just for my protection."

"Oh okay, but remember training is hard. You need to give your full attention to it. You should be determined. What do you mean by protection? Someone's after your life or something?"

"Oh no. It's just that these days, you can't trust anyone. I need to protect my self."

"Yes I know what you're getting at. How about tomorrow? Do you want to start tomorrow?"

"Yes, oh thank you, thank you so much."

"No problem cuz. Well good night." Miyaka said yawning.

"Okay, good night Miyaka and welcome back to Japan."

During their sleep Kagome was dreaming. She was in a field full of flowers. She was running and stopped when she reached the middle. She sat on the grass and picked a flower she was looking at the flower when a door came in front of her. She contemplated if she is going in or not. Then when she realised that this was a dream she went in. When she got to the other side she saw a woman who looked just like her mother, she almost mistook her as her mother. Then she saw that woman and her mother they were talking together. Her mother was pregnant while the other where holding a seven year old girl. 'this must be Miyaka' she thought. They were happy talking together, Miyaka even rubbed the belly of her mother. 'she must be exited to have a cousin' Kagome said to herself. Then Mr. Otaru came to them and fetched his family. They said their goodbyes and went to the car.

Then the surrounding became dark, so dark Kagome couldn't see anything. Suddenly a blinding light surrounded her. The light faded slowly and she saw that she was in a fair. There was Miyaka and her mother and father. They were so happy. Miyaka was having fun in the fair. It was very late when they went home. During the ride home a group of strange men stopped them. They pulled off and let the family go out of the car. They brought them to an old building. There they started shooting on them. Kagome has to close her eyes for she can't afford to watch that dreadful scene. When she opened her eyes those men were gone and the family lay dead on the floor. Kagome cried on the scene. 'So this is what happened to mom's sister. That's why she never told us about her.' Kagome said through sobs.

Then she was once again engulfed in by the darkness. She closed her eyes to be ready from the light. When she opened her eyes she was in a house. When she looked around she saw Miyaka in a bed she was alive. She looks okay like she never experienced the shooting. Then Mr. Otaru came in the room. He was perfectly fine too. Then he was speaking to Miyaka. He's telling her something that Kagome can't figure out. Kagome was waiting for Miyaka's mother but she never came. When Miyaka started crying she concluded that her mother was dead. Then Mr. Otaru comforted her. Then he said that there is something she should know about her family.

The dream was cut off when she heard someone calling her. Miyaka was waking her up.

"Hey wake up. Are you okay? You were crying last night."

"Huh! Oh I just had a nightmare that's all. What time is it?"

"It's 9:00. Come on lets have breakfast a few hours before we start your training."

"okay coming, just need to go to the bathroom." Kagome said while getting up from bed.

'what was that secrete that she have to know?' she was thinking about the dream she just had.
