Chapter 3: A walk in the past

Kagome looked out of the jet window. That's right; she later found out that Inu Yasha was a multi-millionaire.

"If your so rich, how come you steal expensive jewels?"

"You really ARE clueless, aren't you?"

Kagome looked at him, obviously clueless; Miroku decided to answer the question...

"You see Kagome, he's sort of following his parents' footsteps..."

"You mean, his parents were jewel-thieves?"

"Exactly. They were called 'The Diamond Couple'"

"Hey, weren't they world renowned?"

"Yup. They got killed ten years ago..."

Inu Yasha started talking again.

"It's called letting the dead rest in peace, got that?"

Miroku bit his lip and was silent for the rest of the trip. Kagome sighed. She wouldn't get information from him anymore. She turned to Sango.

The young woman was taking care of the little blond girl. It was easy to tell that they were related; their eyes were of matching colors: a reddish brown.

"Um, Sango..."

Sango turned to Kagome.

"Yeah?"

"I was wondering, was FRB always like this? Obnoxious and bossy?"

"Actually, no. He was a nice guy ten years ago. His parents' death REALLY affected him."

"How did it happen?"

Sango looked around. She turned to Kagome and started whispering to her.

"They died during a shoot out in the streets. It was quite impressive. The police just zoomed in as if they knew where they were going..."

"What were they doing there?"

"They were picking Inu Yasha up at school..."

"So... you mean that...."

"Exactly. His parents' died in front of him..."

Kagome looked away. It was strange; both their parents seemed to have suffered the same fate ten years ago...

"Sango?"

"Yeah?"

"Where are your parents? Do they know that you took your little sister?"

Sango had watery eyes. She quickly wiped them off.

"Our parents died ten years ago as well, on the same day. They died during the night. It was horrible: gun shots everywhere. They took my little brother Kohaku. Me and Kirara are lucky to be alive."

Kagome went to Shippou. He was sitting away from the group, looking out of the window.

"Hey Shippou.."

The little red head looked up at her. She knelt down at his level.

"I was wondering where your parents are..."

He stiffened. Then he started having watery eyes. He turned away. He couldn't have a girl see him in tears!

"My mom died after giving birth to me. For two years, my dad lived in a low-class apartment. Then, one night, when I was coming back from day-care, I found him lying on the bloody carpet..."

He was in tears. Kagome tried comforting the twelve year old boy, to no avail. She sighed and walked to Miroku.

"Hey Miroku..."

"Yes my darling Kagome?"

"I was wondering where your family is?"

He stiffened. Kagome bit her lip. She had just entered the sadness zone. Again. Strangely, he said, quite bluntly:

"My family's six feet underground. They've been there for the last decade, since April 6th."

Kagome sighed. He was probably trying to hide his feelings of sorrow...

She went back to her laptop. She went on google and wrote down:

"Unsolved murders on April 6th"

And pressed 'Enter'

The thing she was looking for was on the top, in big letters... 'Famous Jewel Thieves Die on April 6th of 1994'

She clicked on it. Went on the search bar on the homepage and wrote down each of her 'comrades' last names, starting with Inu Yasha, then Miroku, then Sango and finally Shippou.

What she found was actually quite gross. Bloody picture after bloody picture, she saw that the murders weren't just hit and run. They were prepared in advance. She stopped. So did her heart. In front of her was a picture of a little boy, around seven years old, clutching his mother's bloody hand to his chest.

It was Inu Yasha.

A tear fell off her cheek, followed by another one. She wiped them off. Continued her search. At the end, she wrote, after a little hesitation:

"Higurashi"

What was in front of her was repulsing: two corpses lay on the living room floor, their lifeless eyes opened. Fear was still in their lifeless eyes. Tears starting falling off Kagome's face. She didn't try to wipe them off. She let them run down her face. She didn't care if the others would call her a wuss.
