Author's Note: This is my first A/U fic and third Inuyasha fic. Basically, they're all fifteen and in high school and Kagome is a new girl in the school. Due to the fact I DON'T like Kikyo, may not be in this fic! Sorry! Please read and review... and please don't give me any bad reviews.
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or the characters. Chapter 14
Kagome and Inuyasha had oddly enough, been dating a while during this trip and Kagome became more and more curious about his past as she watched him interact with certain people. He and Miroku were like brothers, while he and Sesshomaru hated each other. She had also come to learn Inuyasha and Sesshomaru shared a father, but had different mothers, which could have been another reason for their hate. To add to Kagome's curiousity was that there were some elderly people around who knew about Inuyasha's father, but Inuyasha avoided ever telling Kagome about him. She couldn't figure out why and he always ended up mad at her when she talked about it. That was what drove her to ask more about it.
She walked outside on the sixth day of the trip, out onto the porch where Miroku was leaning against the banister and staring at the darkening sky. Sango was off getting their dinner and Inuyasha was brought along to help. She figured Sango wanted to talk to him about something. Kagome came and stood next to Miroku, looking at the sky. "Nice out, huh?" she asked. Miroku looked at her and smiled.
"Yeah, it is... I almost thought that was Inuyasha standing behind me." he said. Kagome smiled a little and nodded in understanding.
"Miroku... can I ask you something?" she asked. Miroku nodded as he turned his attention back to the sky.
"Yeah- why are you and Inuyasha so close? I mean, I know you two were raised together... but I think there's more behind it all." Miroku couldn't help but to let out a laugh, which confused Kagome.
"You're really smart... Its no wonder Inuyasha is attracted to you." he said and Kagome blushed. "Yeah, there is a lot more behind life with Inuyasha. I think it more so goes back to our dad's relationship with each other though." he said. Kagome looked at him in slight confusion.
"Your dads were best friends too?" she asked.
"Raised together really..." Miroku answered. Kagome couldn't help but notice a sligtly mournful look cross Miroku's face. She had nearly forgotten his father and Inuyasha's dad were dead. "They were real close... married our moms right outta school."
"But Sesshomaru-"
"Sesshomaru was born when Inuyasha's dad was seventeen... He's pretty much an accident." said Miroku, a slight smirk crossing his face. "Inuyasha was born a year later, not too long after his parents married. Course I was born a few months before him."
"So you've known each other since birth?"
"Technically, yeah. But we didn't truely meet until our dads were killed and our moms spent all the time together. Miroku looked at Kagome. "They were mixed up in some stuff they shouldn't have even bothered with and were tricked by some guy... I don't know who, but I don't even think our moms know."
"How old were you?" Kagome asked quietly.
"I was five and Inuyasha was still four. I know its a few months difference in our ages, but he was still young." answered Miroku. Kagome nodded her head in understanding. There was a little more to them than she knew... Probably a little too much.
"Inuyasha said that you two weren't always friends." Kagome said and Miroku laughed.
"We weren't... Inuyasha was a smart kid so he picked up on things pretty fast. I guess he was angry at the world in a way when he learned about his dad and closed a lot of people out of his life. My mom still brought me by, but when she and Inuyasha's mom went to talk, Inuyasha and I went our seperate ways."
"But you watched after him still cuz he was younger." Miroku nodded.
"Yeah... he's told you about that I take it." he said and Kagome smiled, nodding a bit.
"Its the only thing he'll ever tell me about his past." she said and laughed. "He's stubborn."
"Yeah, so was his dad supposedly. But you can see a little of that in Sesshomaru too, now can't you?" Kagome laughed and nodded.
"Yeah, you've got a point-"
"About what?" They both turned around and saw Inuyasha looking at them expectantly. Miroku just smiled and went back at looking at the sky while Kagome smiled cheerfully and the frowning young man. "What have you two been talking about?" he asked suspiciously. Kagome walked up to him and gave him a quick kiss.
"I was just asking Miroku about a few things." she answered and walked out the room. Inuyasha blinked and walked up to Miroku's side, looking up at the sky and frowning a little.
"You told her?" he asked.
"Not too much... Just what I thought she could know that won't effect us too much." Miroku answered.
"S'pose you told Sango all about our past too." he said. Miroku shook his head.
"No... You think I should?" Inuyasha gave his friend of very serious look.
"Miroku, they're called family secrets for a reason." he said and shook his head. Miroku smiled at his friend.
"Inuyasha, you worry too much." He said and Inuyasha glared at him.
"I worry just enough." he said. The two of them were silent for a while and Miroku sighed as he looked at the sky thoughtfully.
"Things are gonna have to change, one day." he said quietly.
Inuyasha watched with a frown as Kouga came stumbling quickly acrosss the snow towards Kagome. It was the next day and he and Miroku didn't discuss last nights issue any more, but it was obvious he wasn't going to hold out long in telling Sango. Kagome was laughing at what ever Kouga was telling her, but Inuyasha knew that she didn't really want to be alone with him long. Suddenly, something came and hit him in the back of the head and he growled in annoyance, turning and glaring at Shippo, who was laughing.
"Little rat..." he growled and got ready to start chasing after the laughing kids when he caught something out the corner of his eye. "Naraku-" Miroku was watching Inuyasha and was laughing until he saw him stop and stare off into the distance.
"Inu-"
"Miroku, I think we've got company." he informed. Miroku frowned. He knew where this was going. Kagome was going to have a lot more questions when this trip was over.
Kagome and Sango were sitting at the table together playing cards and talking when Miroku came walking in with an extremely pissed Inuyasha. They looked confused when he walked to his room and slammed the door. "What happened?" asked Kagome, getting up and looking in the direction Inuyasha had stormed with concern. Miroku stopped her.
"Kagome, you should probably leave him alone." She looked at him in confusion. "He's discovered a thing or two he probably never wanted to learn about." he said and looked at Sango. "I'm going to bed. I'll see you guys around." Kagome was very confused, but a few days later she discovered that Inuyasha had found out a secret or two about his father and who was going after the young boys and why. He didn't tell her this, but she managed to nag it out of Miroku. Inuyasha had changed a little during the vacation as well, but only when he was alone with Kagome.
He had pulled her out onto the patio one day and held her in his lap, both of them wrapped in a blanket together as they watched it begin to snow. He had even revealed the same story that Miroku had told her, with a little more information as well as what he had talked to Naraku about. He had made her promise to avoid Naraku at all costs and even threatened Kohaku, Shippo and Souta into not going near the enemy the whole trip. Kagome could only figure Naraku was trying to get at the boys to get to her, Sango, or one of the guys. What ever it was, Inuyasha was making sure to avoid any contact with him. He might have changed a little while they were on the trip, but more than likely he'd go back to his old ways when they got back home.
