Chapter 10 Where do we turn

"Good god Shippo, why do you have to sit on my head like that?" Inuyasha roared.

"Come on Inuyasha, we have been out here in this forest, over a week and I want to go eat." Shippo said pounding his little fists on Inuyasha's head. Inuyasha grabbed Shippo by the neck and looked at him eye to eye.

"Now you listen to me you little. . ." Inuyasha paused when he saw a village up head of them.

Kagome walked down the village; toward the food market. She has a basket full of breads, fruits and vegetables. She has a warm smile on her face. She walked back to the house and walked in side. She placed the food on the wooden table and began to start chopping food. A knock was heard. She put down the knife, whipped her hands and opened the door. In front of her, was a dog eared man and little Kitsune as well.

"Why hello, how my I help you?" She said gently.

"We were just passing through when I saw this village. Inuyasha and I are very hungry and I would ask nicely to give some food and water." Shippo said nicely. He elbowed Inuyasha, who grunted and put on a fake smile.

"Inuyasha doesn't she look familiar?" Shippo whispered.

"No, she smells of a priestess." Inuyasha grunted.

Inuyasha and Shippo sat at the wood table and awaited their meal. The door opened and man walked in. "Kikyo?" he asked softly.

The girl came around the corn with two bowls of hot soup. "Hello, Jack."

"KIKYO!" Inuyasha yelled, while slamming his hand down on the table.

"I came to tell you that if want to you can go see the grave now." Jack said. Kagome smiled and hugged Jack. "Thank you Jack well was nice to meet you guys. Bye." She waved and ran out the door.

Jack looked at the guest and smiled. "So what brings you hear to this side of the forest?"

"Oh, were here to find a girl. . ." Inuyasha hit Shippo on the head hard. "Hey what was that for? I was just answering the man's question."

"He doesn't need to but into our business Shippo." Inuyasha answered.

"So where did Kikyo go?" Shippo asked the man.

"Oh, she went to go see the grave."

"Why?" Shippo asked.

"Because the person who was buried under there was the man I found her carrying when she came to this village."

"And who was that?"

"I don't know, and neither does she really. When I found her, she was knocked out and the man was dead. She woke up with nothing in her memory." Jake sighed. "I don't know her real name, but I do know she is some sort of priestess."

"So what did the man look like?"

"Well he had black hair put up into a pony tail and pointy ears and wolf tail; so I guess he was a wolf demon or even worse leader of a wolf pack. Ever since then she thinks that he might have been her true love. She goes and sees him every day. In await it comforts her to know that she can speak to him."

"Shippo, it was Kouga, we found her!" Inuyasha said jumping for joy.

"Now you listen to me, dog boy, she promised me that she would marry me if she didn't remember anything in a year. And that is exactly two weeks from now. I won't let you take her from me. I love her, you see!" He yelled.

Inuyasha growled and nodded his head in acknowledgement. Even if it was a lie he would get Kagome back, one way or another.

"If you try to still her back; I will personally kill you." He threatened. Inuyasha couldn't take any more. He was being threatened by a mere human. He bit his lip and nodded his head.

"Good then we have an understanding?"

"Yes." Inuyasha lied.

Inuyasha left the hut, to go and find Kagome. She must know about her past. He walked down a dusty dirt road and into a cemetery. He opened the rusty fence and closed it. He saw her; she was under a willow tree. She was sitting on her knees praying to the tombstone sitting there.

He walked over to where she was and listened. He couldn't really hear her, but he did hear, "gods give this man equal justice and love. I will miss him.' She finished she gasped when she saw Inuyasha standing there. "Oh, you're the man who came and want food. Did you like it?"

"Yes very much, thank you." Inuyasha replied.

"Why don't you sit . . ." She was stopped the distant thump of Inuyasha's face being planted in the ground. He lifted him self up and snarled.

"I defiantly don't miss that." He growled. Kagome started to laugh.

"What, what are you laughing at?" He said with stupid face.

Kagome giggled and brushed the dirt and grass on his face. Inuyasha fell to the ground again when he felt her hand touch his face.

"Kagome?" Inuyasha questioned.

"Who, oh sorry I forgot to tell you, my name is Kikyo, or that is what Jack calls me."

"No, your name is Kagome Higurashi."

"How would you know, are you someone from my clouded past?" She said quickly.

Inuyasha looked at the ground. 'Should I tell her?' he thought.

He looked into the brown eyes and thought of the girl he use to know. "My name is Inuyasha and that is all I'm going to tell you. You have to figure the rest out on your own. I will tell you the people you knew. Lets see, Sesshomaru, Jaken, Kouga, me, Shippo, Sango, Miroku, Sota, Kilala, Myoga and Naraku; oh yeah the Shikon no Tama or Sacred Jewel Shard." Inuyasha walked off. Kagome looked at his disappearing figure and then at the ground.

"Let me think." She began.
