Chapter 5

Kagome pushed Glory off of her and she flipped over her and landed right behind Glory to strike her for the final blow. But Glory was prepared for it and put a very strong barrier around herself. Kagome hit the barrier and flew like a rag doll in the air and hit her back on the tree. She collapsed to the ground but instead of landing on all fours she landed on her feet.

"Ever hear the phrase cats always land on their feet" she joked at Glory. She took her sword in both hands and yelled at her so she could hear her "Well its true and don't you forget it!"

Glory was now furious more than ever. She stood up and looked at Kagome with pure hatred. The look made Kagome shiver in fear and Glory felt it. She smiled and made another attack on Kagome. She ran one way then disappeared.

Inu-yasha gawked 'I have never seen any demon do that but if she's not a demon than what is she? Why won't someone give me a clue' He was frantic trying to see where this woman he didn't know had gone. Soon enough Glory showed her self and punched Kagome to the ground.

Kagome dragged along the ground till she was a few feet away from Glory. Kagome tried to stand but failed horribly.

Kagome's ankle was sprained and her knees where badly damaged from the punch. Inu-yasha couldn't believe that from one punch Kagome wasn't able to stand.

Glory smiled in triumph. Rick had had enough. "Glory get away from Kagome" he said growing angrier by the second. He stood in front of Kagome "no don't" was Kagome's last words before passing out from all the pain.

"KAGOME!" Inu-yasha yelled while running over to Kagome's side to see if she was alright.

At that moment a boomerang came flying at glory who caught it and threw it back in the direction it came from.

Miroku came out of the woods and saw the scene. Inu-yasha was holding a passed out Kagome. A man was standing in front of them and the lady who attacked the village was in fighting stance.

Sango came out after Miroku holding her boomerang. Kirara followed after in her full demon state. They all went into fighting stance and were prepared to fight.

Glory came out of fighting stance looked at them and laughed "tut tut Rick I thought you were able to do better than that" "Glory I don't know who these people are" he said rather confused at why they were here.

"I do" said a weak voice from behind Rick. He turned around and saw Kagome was awake after all. "Inu-yasha let me at her" she said barely above a whisper.

Glory laughed even harder. "You think you can still beat me bitch. My, my Rick you are stupid to teach her that lesson about not giving up. To tell you the truth that bitch is way too stubborn for her own good. YOU HEAR THAT BITCH" she said before laughter claimed her once more.

Inu-yasha was getting furious. "you bitch" he said shaking head to toe in anger. "I may not know who you are but no one hurts my mate and gets away with it" Inu-yasha pulled out his sword and came charging at Glory. But Glory had, had enough.

Smoke was coming around Glory and Inu-yasha was forced to stop dead in his tracks. When the smoke had finally lifted Glory had disappeared without a trace.

Inu-yasha sheathed his sword and ran back to Kagome. He picked her up and looked at Rick. "So your name is Rick huh? Tell me what the fuck is going on?" he yelled. Rick sighed and said in a calm casual voice "If you want to know bring Kagome and meet me down here at sunrise" Inu-yasha nodded and walked off with Kagome in his arms. He kissed her forehead and whispered in her ear "Everything is going to be alright just sleep now"

Once they were out of sight Rick said "I know your still here Glory that trick doesn't faze me" Glory came out of the bushes. She had a smile on her face.

"After this fight Rick you won't be able to meet Inu-yasha and Kagome at sunrise" "Lets just see about that" he said pulling out his sword.

Kagome was woken up by Inu-yasha. "Inu...." "Shh we are meeting Rick at the hot spring" he said in barely a whisper but Kagome heard him. 'Father we finally get to tell him' she nodded and tried to get up but was stopped by a hand.

"I'm carrying you so don't even think about getting up" he smirked and picked her up in bridal style and rushed out of the hut.

They made it to the hot springs to meet a very beaten Rick there. "Rick?" Inu-yasha asked. Rick grunted as an answer and got up and walked over to them. "Kagome how are you doing?" he asked her with concern written all over his face. "I'm fine" she said hoarsely and looked at Inu-yasha and said "The reason we are giving you an explanation is because you're my mate otherwise you wouldn't be told a thing even if you begged"

Inu-yasha set her down on the ground and sat down beside her, pulling her into his lap. Kagome leaned into his chest and welcomed all the warmth from his body.

"Should I start Kagome?" Rick asked. "Go right ahead. I'm not stopping you" "Alright" he huffed "Ok it starts at Kagome's birth. I am Kagome's father got that?" Inu-yasha just nodded and realized the resemblance between them. "That day was the first day we met Glory. She came with a proposal that we give Kagome to her and then she would give my wife an eternal life. We refused her offer and she got mad at us. So for Kagome's safety we sent her 500 years into the future. Glory caught on and went after her. She killed my wife, my son and my wife's grandpa. Kagome witnessed it at the age of 10. She came to me after the slaughter. She told me what had happened and told me what she wanted. A key to unlock the portal to hell. I knew who the key was and kept a close watch on her. Inu-yasha this is where you come in. The girl who was the key was Kikyo. She died a year after the event but I put Kagome into a coma which she like you stayed in for 50 years. She came back to this time through the well and came back to our pack"

Kagome started speaking after her father had finished "I started working at a restaurant in our pack. Soon though the place we were staying at was destroyed most of our pack was saved but few died. In blood there was a note written by Glory it said I am not finished with you and there is now way you can defeat me. So the best of our readers including me started searching the ancient text to see if there was anything on Glory. I found information but I wasn't to happy about what it said Glory was. Glory is neither demon nor human. Glory is..... Glory is a god. One night when Kikyo died she figured out that she was the key. She took her anger out on me. We fought for two days and I thought I killed Glory but it looks like I didn't. Soon afterward I met you and the fight for the jewel shards began. In the middle of the night I sometimes go in the forest to meet my dad or have a meeting with the elders but otherwise I'm at a foster home in the future or with you"

"Glory has been after our family since. Soon she will be after our whole pack. I'm the leader of the pack. Soon Kagome will be the leader but Kagome I trust you warned that pack about Glory's return" Kagome nodded at her dad's question.

Inu-yasha was trying to sink in everything he was told. He looked at Kagome and then at Kagome's dad, Rick.

"Inu-yasha you can't tell anyone about this do you understand our reasons?" Kagome asked hopefully we wouldn't hate her for keeping those secrets but she had to.

Inu-yasha just nodded dumbly at Kagome. She kissed him on the cheek and told her father to get back to the pack to heal the wounds that Glory had inflicted on him.

Soon Inu-yasha and Kagome were alone. "Kagome?" she looked at Inu-yasha questionably. "I just wanted you to know that I still love you and I will protect you with my life" he said smiling down at her. She smiled back and pulled him down in a kiss. Their tongues' danced in happiness but soon Kagome pulled away for oxygen. "I love you too Inu-yasha" she said but soon her world went black.
