"Oh, Kagome! You're back! Welcome home, dear." Kagome's mother said with a cheerful grin on her face, happy to see Kagome once again. But her grin soon faded as she saw Kagome's troubled eyes. "Kagome, is everything all right?"

Kagome didn't look up as she headed towards her room, "I really don't want to talk about it, Mom." she sighed, going up the stairs, trying not to cry again. Kagome's mother sighed and turned away in understanding.

After a few minutes of resting on her soft bed, Kagome decided she needed a shower. After all, she had been in the Fudal Era quite a while without a decent bath. While she seeped into the warm waters of her bath and began washing herself, she found bruises on her waist where Inuyasha grabbed her and she sighed sadly and closed her eyes tightly.

"How could he do such a thing to me?" Kagome whispered just loud enough for it to echo against the tiles. 'I don't need to go back to the Fudal Era for a while.' She sunk under the water, washing her body. 'I know Sango and Miroku will understand. They'll try to explain it to Shippou.' She sighed and finished her bath and dressed in a blue shirt and skirt.

She laid on her back in on her bed for a while as the soft sunlight ran though her pink curtains. She gazed up at the jewel shard necklace she was holding in one hand above her. "Inuyasha, I'm sorry but you deserved it. And I'm not going to come back to free you." She sighed again. "My spell won't last as long as Kikyo's did on you. She closed her eyes and let her arm hang off the bed, which caused the jewel shards to drape to the ground.

Buyo nuzzled his way into Kagome's room and watched the jewel sway side to side, almost hypnotically. "Muow.." The fat cat jumped up on Kagome's bed and curled up with her to rest for a while.

"Kagome looks very troubled." Souta said, looking to his Mom for an answer.

"I don't know what happened. She told me she didn't want to talk about it." She answered and continued to wash dishes.

"I bet she had a fight with Inuyasha again." He fumbled with his shoe laces for a moment, trying to get them untied from a knot.

"Souta! Don't say things like that!" She shook her head a him and chuckled. "But that is a good possibility."

Kagome's grandpa swaggered in from upstairs right after Kagome fell asleep in her bed. He looked to Souta and his mother with his hands behind his back. "You're right. Inuyasha and Kagome did have a fight. And from what I overheard, Kagome shot a sacred arrow through Inuyasha's heart. Cursing him to years of deep unconsciousness."

Souta and his Mom gasped. "She shot an arrow though Inuyasha?!" Souta looked as if he was about to have a seizure. His mother just covered her mouth and turned away.

"But why Kagome shot him, I don't know. She said something about him doing something to her. I knew that half-demon would betray her some time." Grandpa murmured and looked down.

Kagome stirred from her small slumber about an hour later and stretched out, the jewel shards still in her hand. Buyo looked up at Kagome for a second, then curled back up and fell asleep on her bed. "Buyo, you're such a lazy cat." Kagome chuckled a bit, feeling better after the nap and bath. She patted Buyo's head as she walked out the bedroom door.

Downstairs, Kagome's Mom and Grandpa were talking seriously about Kagome in hushed whispers so that Souta wouldn't hear. "What could Inuyasha have done to Kagome that caused her to shoot him." She asked him, almost in tears at the thought of her daughter almost killing someone.

Her grandpa sighed lightly, holding his hands as if praying, and rested his head against his hands. "He would've had to attack one of her dear friends, come at her, severely threaten her or one of those friends, or..." his voice trailed off a bit.

"..'or' what?" Kagome's Mom looked very anxious and worried.

"'or...' He would've had to force himself upon her." She gasped, covering her mouth again, shaking her head. Inuyasha couldn't do any of those things to Kagome, he was to amazing for that.

Kagome appeared in the kitchen, picking up an apple and eating it with a smile, "Ahh, actual food again." She turned and began to head out of the kitchen when her mother stopped her.

"Kagome...we really need to talk." She looked up at Kagome, the worry shooting through her eyes. Grandpa stood up and left the room and Kagome took his place.

"Yea, what is it, Mom?" Kagome quickly finished the apple. She looked at her mother and realized how worried she was, and she remembered everything that happened again and a grim look came over her own face.

"Something happened between you and Inuyasha, didn't it?" Her mother sighed, looking down to the pattern in the table.

After a slight pause, Kagome replied, "Yea, something happened." She said quietly. 'Something really big that I really need to tell you about but I don't know how to.' Her Mom asked questions and she answered quickly.

"Did he hurt you?...Did he hurt one of your friends?...Did he threaten you or anybody?"

"...No...No...No..."

There was a tension filled pause between them. That could only mean one thing. Kagome's mother sighed deeply, "Did he rape you?"

Another long pause as Kagome's eyes drifted to the floor. The pained look spread across her face. She could remember everything so vividly it haunted her. How Inuyasha admitted his love. Their embrace. How she admitted her own love. Him tugging at her uniform. Being forced to the ground. Inuyasha forcing himself on top of her. Everything.

"Kagome?" Her mother's voice rang through her ears. Echoing. She sighed, placing a hand on her lower stomach.

"Yea, Mom. He did." She said with a heavy sigh. Her Mom covered her face, shaking her head and began to sob lightly. "Mom? Mom..." Kagome sighed again. "...don't be so angry or disappointed. It was something that was taken too far."

Her mother shrugged her shoulders, trying not to sob as much as she did. There was a terribly long silence between them as both their minds raced. Kagome's mother raised her head up and peered at Kagome, still in slight thought, "You do realize if you keep the child... it will be part demon?"

"Yes, but that won't be too bad. Their demon features would be so small that no one would really notice." Kagome looked to the side, whispering her reply. But her mother just tilted her head down again. Kagome stood up from her seat and walked slowly back to her room, thinking now of how she would raise a child and even if she would keep it.

Once again, she laid on her bed and petted Buyo. She closed her eyes thinking of her future and whispered very quietly to Buyo, who's ears twiched as he looked up at her, "I'd be happy to bear his children, I still love him. But the way he came onto me... he deserved to be stuck to the tree. He won't get to see his child," she paused for a second, placing a hand over her abdomen, "or children."

Kagome fell into a deep, dreamless, sleep. Then, a dream finally came. Her ash and blood covered body limped through a dark and damp forest. She collapsed and began to crawl on her hands and knees. Two figures appeared infront of her. One with long, blonde hair and amber eyes, the other with short, black hair and a pair of small dog ears pointed through his ears. Their hands reached out to her, helping her up. "Come on, you gotta come with us."

"But who are you?" The dream Kagome stared at the vaguely familar features of the two.

The boy with black hair replied, "I am Raiden of the Storms, and my twin is Kira of the Trees. We'll help you."

And with that, they helped Kagome from the ground as her body began to heal, quickly. They led her to a clearing in which a well, covered in vines, connected two worlds. She gasped, rushing to the well, her body now completly healed, "Thank you, Raiden and Kira."

They smiled to her and Kira said, "Go, you need to go back home." Kagome jumped down the well and descended through the purple veil.

Well...? This story wasn't too bad, was it? n.n;; It took less than a month (barely) to finish it, so I know it couldn't be the best you've read. n.n I'll get to working on the next story as fast as I can. I promice. I'll miss working on this story, it was very, very fun. n.n I even got in trouble in a few classes for not paying attention and thinking about the story. Teehee. Well, then.
