**Ducks behind desk with head peeking over** What?

believe you have something to say!

Chapter 4: Explanations
Kagome slowly woke up, enjoying the feeling of relaxing. She poked her head out from under the covers and looked around. Why am I here? Were Inuyasha, Miroku, and Sango just a dream? No, I don't want to back here! Someone, wake me up!
Kagome started to glow as she shook with grief. Looking around her all she could think of was how she was still at home, and how Inuyasha was never real.
***Inuyasha***
Inuyasha started awake at the smell of salt water. He looked around and tried to remember where he was, when he remembered that he went to Kagome's house for Christmas. That bastard! If he did anything to Kagome I'll KILL him!
Inuyasha jumped up and sprinted into the hall. Standing outside Kagome's room was Mrs. H and Mr. H, trying to open her door. Inuyasha growled and stepped towards Mr. H aggressively. "What did you do to her you bastard?"
"I didn't do anything. All I know is that there are crashing noises coming from her room, and we can't get in there!" Mr. H yelled back.
Now that Inuyasha was told about it, he did hear noises coming from Kagome's room. Shooting another angry look at Mr. H, Inuyasha charged into Kagome's room, breaking the door down. Everything loose flew around the room, Kagome sat on her bed in the center. Her face was pressed into her pillow, and she seemed to not notice that she had lost control over her powers. Inuyasha jumped in there without hesitation and headed straight for Kagome. It took him a while to reach her, but when he did he knew something terrible must of happened because she wasn't responding to him shaking her.
"Kagome, Kagome what happened? Kagome wake up!" Inuyasha shouted, trying to force her to look at him.
"I-Inuyasha?" Kagome whispered, starring up into his face. She touched his hand on her cheek then flew into his arms.
"What did he do to you Kagome? What did that bastard do to you so that you would lose control of your Miko powers?" Inuyasha whispered into her ear.
"Who, what are you talking about? Oh, you thought that my stepfather did this? No, he didn't do anything. I woke up in my room, and I thought that boarding school had been a dream. That Sango, Miroku, and you had been just dream people." Kagome whispered back, not noticing that her parents had started to come into the room.
"Don't worry, I'm not a dream see? I'm right here." Inuyasha whispered, calming her down.
She leaned against he growled like an angry animal. She heard her mother scream, so she looked up at Inuyasha and whispered, "Inuyasha, are you letting them see your real appearance?"
"Yeah, so?" Inuyasha growled, then he looked at the step father and snarled "Get out. Don't come in here, or near her at all!"
Kagome looked over at her mother and saw how scared she was. Kagome leaned her forehead on Inuyasha's shoulder and shook with silent laughter. Her mother thought that she had looked at Inuyasha and had gotten so scared she cried.
"Don't worry hunny, I won't let him hurt you. Inuyasha, just let her go, please!" Mrs. H pleaded.
Kagome started to laugh harder. "What's so funny?" Inuyasha asked, surprised.
"They think I'm afraid of you! They think your going to hurt me, but I know you would never." Kagome whispered, then looked at her parents so that they saw she was laughing. "Don't worry about me mom, Inuyasha wouldn't hurt me if I was the last person on earth and he was pissed beyond reason." Kagome smiled at them and waited for them to get over the shock.
"You mean, you knew what he really looked like before you brought him here?" Mrs. H asked.
"Yup, remember when I was little and I always said that I could see weird looking people? Well it turns out that I could see demons. Inuyasha is a half demon, and he can make himself look like a normal person. Oh, yeah, I never asked, what does he look like without the mask on?" Kagome asked, relizing she had never seen him in his human form.
"He has black hair, and his eyes are purple. Other then that he looks the same. Well, except for the Oh My Goodness are those FANGS AND CLAWS?" Mrs. H screamed.
That just made Kagome laugh harder, and that made Inuyasha even more pissed then he already was. "What do you find so damn funny?" He mumbled.
"I think the way she's reacting is funnyl, and I don't think she's seen your ears yet." Kagome answered amusement in her eyes.
"What about his ear...Wow, dog ears!" Mrs. H whispered as she got closer to inspect his ears.
"What is with your family and my ears?" Inuyasha growled, embarrassed.
Kagome just smiled and leaned her head on his shoulder, yawning. "I don't know, but using all that power tired me out."
"Wait, your powers?" Mrs. H held up her hand, "Never mind, I don't want to know. This is too much. Tell me later ok? Oh, and Inuyasha would you tell me why you want my husband to get out."
At this both Inuyasha and Kagome sobered as they looked over at Mr. H who had stood off to the side this whole time. Inuyasha growled, but Kagome's eyes got wide.
Kagome tugged on Inuyasha's sleeve and she stated, "That's not him."
"What? It has to be! He looks just like.. You're right it's not." Inuyasha said, stunned.
"Now what are you talking about. This is my husband." Mrs. H stated.
"No mom, it's not. The stepfather I know has cold, hard eyes. He also has a different sense about him. This is someone else." Kagome said, staring at him, her eyes taking on a faraway look.
"I can also tell this is not the same man who threatened Kagome. His sent is different. This is a totally different man." Inuyasha said, looking confused.
Kagome looked at him and said in a dead voice, "Explain, now."
"Do you remember when you were little, when your mother and I were first married? How I was nice, and never did anything mean to you? Then one day I suddenly changed?" Kagome nodded yes, "The day I changed, I was kidnapped. I was going out to get the mail when a man I knew a little bit pulled up and drugged me, taking me away. I woke up only fifteen minutes later, to find sitting in front of me, well, me. The man who had kidnapped me was also a hanyou, he could transform into any form he wanted, and he did. They took me away up until three days ago." Mr. H said, looking Kagome straight in the eye.
"Why didn't you try and escape before?" Kagome asked.
"I tried. Every day that man would come in and tell me about everything he did to you. He would tell me how he was slowly breaking your spirit, how he intended for you too never be able to have confidence in yourself. I tried every day to get away and help you, I loved you like you were my own daughter, but I couldn't. He had some kind of barrier around the house. I must say though, he was extremely mad when you went away to boarding school." Mr. H smiled at that, thinking about how the man had walked all around the room trying to figure out a way to get her to stay.
Kagome smiled and asked, "I thought he might. I have one question though, why did he want to hurt me? Out of everyone in the world, why me?"
(a/n I'm wondering that myself, I wonder why?)
"He wanted to make sure you never got your Miko Powers. He knew that one- day you would be able to destroy him. I don't know how, but he knows. He wanted to break your spirit, he knew that a priestess with a broken spirit could not use her powers to there full ability."
"I can now use them as you saw. What do you think he'll do? Will he attack us? Or does he not know?" Kagome asked, starting to get scared for her family.
"He doesn't know yet that you can use them. I only came for tonight while he was human. Since he is a hanyou, he becomes human one night of the month." Mr. H explained, looking at Inuyasha, wondering if he had told Kagome yet.
Kagome looked up at Inuyasha who had a VERY uncomfortable look on his face. (a/n I wonder why) "Really? Is that true Inuyasha?"
"Um, yeah?" Inuyasha answered, flinching. He was gonna get it now.
"Why was I not told about this before? Was I not trustworthy enough?" Kagome asked, starting to get angry.
"No, it's just that no one knows, only my parents and Shesshomaru. It's not safe for other people to know when they could be tortured for what they know. You have no idea what some people would do to get my transformation day. I have many enemies, some are just my dad's, but I am his son, and the only vonarable son he has." Inuyasha said, knowing what was coming. She was going to yell at him.
"Oh, well if you put it that way.." Kagome said, looking back at her real stepfather, then her head snapped back to look at Inuyasha, "Actually, no matter how you put it still sounds like you don't trust me! Didn't I earn your trust a long time ago?"
"Yes! I'm sorry, I do trust you! From now on I will not keep anything from you! Just don't be mad!" Inuyasha pleaded, but still felt guilty. I'm still going to have to lie to her. She can't know about how I know her. God, it's so hard pretending not to know her from before!
"Ok, well, lets move on." Kagome turned back to her stepfather, no longer mad at Inuyasha.
"I only have one more thing to tell you. You are the reincarnation of a priestess by the name of Kikyou." Mr. H said.
"K-Kikyou? How can that be?" Inuyasha asked, confused.
"I know, the Kikyou you know is also a reincarnation of her. This priestess was a very serious woman, she never had time for fun. She tried to think only of protecting her village and a very powerful jewel. I don't know anything about the jewel, but I do know how there came to be two reincarnations. The frivolous side to the priestess separated from the serious, and that became Kagome and Kikyou. Kikyou is the hidden girl, while Kagome is her serious half. That would be why the look so much alike."
"Oh, well that's confusing. Is there anything else I should know?" Kagome asked.
"I don't think there's anything left to tell really. I don't know anything else." Mr. H said.
Mrs. H just stood there with her mouth open the whole time, taking this all in. She had been living with a man she didn't even know for the past couple years, and now she was learning that he had abused Kagome? Not only that but that Kagome has Miko powers and knows a half demon. It was a lot to take in.
"I have one more question, what was his name?" Kagome asked.
"That I do know, his name was.."
***End of chapter 4***
Mwhahahahahaha, cliffhanger! I love those don't you? Well, might not be able to update for a little while, I'm going up to Massachusetts for Christmas, but I will update as soon as possible. I really hope you like this chap. Oh, and the mean man is someone no ones gonna expect! Ha ha ha, I love plot twists. Didn't you just love the Kagome Kikyou thing? I know I did! Even I didn't think of that until this morning. Well, that's it for chapter 4, thanks for reading!
