Chapter 2 – Kagome's Secret
"No one cares if you are a half-breed." Inu-Yasha said sweetly to the calming child. Shippou began to approach and once Kagome turned her head to face the fox child's she began to scream and kick. Inu-Yasha tried to hold the startled child down but she bit Inu-Yasha. Inu-Yasha let go and Kagome ran out of the hut and into the forest. "Damn it Shippou!" Inu-Yasha began to yell at the equally shocked kitsune.
"Why didn't Kagome tell us that she is a half dog demon?" Miroku asked breaking Inu-Yasha's rage. His eyes soften remembering how upset and confused Kagome looked.
"Because any half demon child would do that." Inu-Yasha said answering Miroku's question. He paused for a moment. "She was afraid to be rejected, hated, and scorned by you two since you both are just a human and a demon." (A/N: Boy this is really beginning to describe me.) Miroku and Shippou were both of course confused at Inu-Yasha's deep statement.
-Meanwhile-
She continued running until she approached a lake and couldn't run any more. She hated herself so much right now. The small child looked at her reflection in the lake. She looked like a normal human...until she noticed her purple demonic eyes, fangs, claws, and her long silver hair with black highlights. The child began to attack her reflection...she couldn't stand looking at herself. 'Why do I look like this? Why can't I be normal?' The girl thought to herself. She started to cry in her own pool of misery until her hearing began to pick something up. She whip lashed around and bared her fangs and showed her claws. The two monks were shocked at the young girls appearance and reaction.
"Tis' is a demon," one of the monks said to his sensei. The small child had a hint of hurt in her eyes and looked back at her reflection. "But this demon's behavior is unusual." The apprentice said a little confused. What really confused the apprentice is how she continuously attacked her own reflection.
"Is something troubling you demon child?" The older monk asked approaching the girl. The child saw him approaching and began to back away. "Demon child," the older monk said.
"I'm not a demon! I am a...a..." The child said coldly yet seemed a little bit afraid to say what she is.
"You're a what?" The apprentice asked with an equally cold voice.
"I'm a HALF-BREED!" The girl yelled with her eyes watering and her voice in great pain.
"What is your name?" The older monk asked.
"I'm Kagome," the girl whispered.
"How about you come with us Kagome-ko." The older monk suggested. (A/N: Ko is Japanese for child. I wasn't sure if I should have used chan. So if anyone knows please tell me.) Kagome wasn't sure...in fact she didn't want to. She didn't trust humans at all...especially monks.
"Because I don't want to," Kagome responded coldly.
"Sensei we should exterminate the demon." The apprentice said.
"We gave you a chance Kagome-ko. Now be gone demon!" The older monk said. Kagome's eyes widen. Surely this would be the end of her.
