A/N:: I'm hoping that the few people that read my first chapter enjoyed it. It's the first story I've posted on a website. I'll try and update as much as possible, so as long as I get encouraging reviews I'll update fast. So heres the next chapter, enjoy.

Disclaimer: I don't own InuYasha, or any character's assoicated with the show in anyway possible. Though God know I wish I did.

'I got her to smile again' InuYasha thought as he walked behind her, but soon he was lost in his own thoughts, her smile pushed off to the side.

Suddenly though he was pulled from his thoughts when Kagome's soft voice met his ears.

"InuYasha? We're here, home sweet home." Kagome said brightly, unlocking the door and stepping in.

InuYasha followed into the dark little apartment. He was blinded for a moment when she suddenly turned on the bright overhead lights. He looked around for a moment, and blinked. It was small, nothing like Kikyo's old apartment. But Kikyo's old apartment had been so cold and dim, Kagome's was warm and bright.

"Hmm whats this?" Kagome's voice once again pulled him from his thoughts when she spoke, as she stared down at a letter in her hand. "My land lord Ms. Kaede wants me for something. What could it be?"

InuYasha blinked. 'Kaede', why did that name sound so familiar? He could almost swear he had heard it before.

"Well I guess, I'll go down and find out what she wants. Wanna come InuYasha?" Kagome asked, as she walked toward the door.

"Sure. I haven't anything better to do." InuYasha followed her out the door and down a sidewalk, his eyes running over everything. Ok this definitely seemed familiar, as if he'd been there before. They came to an abrupt stop in front of a green door with a sign beside it that read 'Land Lord' in red letters.

"Ms. Kaede!" Kagome called, as she knocked twice on the door. Slowly the door slid open and InuYasha almost jumped at the sight of a very wrinkled old lady standing there, at least he guessed it was a lady.

"Kagome, my child-" Kaede's face twisted in horror as her eyes landed on InuYasha standing behind Kagome. "No, it can't be how-"

Kagome stared at the old woman in confusion. Why did she look so afraid? InuYasha? Was she afraid of InuYasha, but why would she be? He hadn't done anything to her.

"Ms. Kaede, are you alright?" Kagome asked softly.

"How did he come back? Kikyo shut him down."

InuYasha's ears perked, his eyes widened.

"What was that you said about Kikyo? Tell me where is she!?" InuYasha's voice was filled with rage.

"Kikyo, Kikyo is dead, InuYasha."

Kagome's eyes widened. Kaede knew InuYasha? But how was that possible?

"Ms. Kaede, you...you know-" Kagome was cut off as a growl like sound reached her ears. She glanced at InuYasha. Was the growl coming from him?

"What do you mean, Kikyo's dead?"

"She was killed soon after she shut you down. By who I still don't know."

"Kikyo was murdered and they don't even know who did it!?" His eyes flashed in rage, which surprised Kagome. Wasn't this the same InuYasha that had acted to have "hated" Kikyo? So why was he so worked up now that he knew she was dead.

"That's awful they really haven't caught the murderer?"

"That's right my child, they have yet to find my sisters killer and bring him to justice."

"Why would someone want to murder Kikyo? I mean yea sure she was a total wench but that's no reason to kill someone. If it was Kagome would have been dead long before now" InuYasha mumbled to himself.

"Ye know good and well why someone would wish my sister dead InuYasha. Or have you forgotten?"

InuYasha's eyes widened slightly as if remembering something hidden deeply inside.

"Me?"

"That's right"

"What do you mean...what about you?" Kagome blinked twice and looked at InuYasha.

"Uh nothing. Nothing." InuYasha glanced at Kagome for a moment before turning back to Kaede. "So hag-"

"InuYasha! Don't be rude"

"InuYasha, Ye haven't changed since the last time I saw you"

"And whats that supposed to mean!"

"InuYasha, no reason to get so offensive. Come in" Kaede took a deep breath. "And I shall explain"

Kagome and InuYasha followed the old women into her apartment. They were led to her living room"

"Sit, I must go retrieve something. I shall return in a moment." Kaede slowly made her way down the hallway, disappearing from view.

"Ok" Kagome answered, and glanced around. It was so dark and plain in Ms. Kaede's apartment. Everything was beige, brown, and white. She glanced back towards the hallway Ms. Kaede had disappeared down, to see the old women making her way back holding something big and red.

"Here InuYasha, get yourself dressed." Kaede all but threw the clothes at him.

Kagome blushed, only now remembering how little InuYasha was wearing. She watched as InuYasha slowly stood and made his way to a room as if he knew exactly where to go. He closed the door and Kagome's view was cut. He returned a few moments later, only now his lower half was completely covered. His waist up was completely in view though. Kagome blushed and averted her gaze.

"Something wrong wench?"

Kagome's head shot up and she glared.

"Stop calling me that!"

"I will as soon as you stop bein' one" He smirked, It was so much fun to make her mad.

Instead of retorting, Kagome simply looked away. Her eyes landed on a down turned picture frame. Slowly she picked it up and brought it to her so she could see the picture in it. In the picture stood a little girl, a man that creeped Kagome out, and- Kagome's heart almost stopped. There in the picture, stood Her! That wasn't possible though, she was here and that girl was there. That was then this is now. That was the past, this present. Kagome was starting to confuse herself. It was like looking in the mirror, a really weird mirror that scared her.
