A/N: Thankz so much u guys for reviewing my story. Love y'all. Lots of you have been asking when Kagome's gonna find out..and I said Inu has a week. But then, I told u that it might not get to that day, and be revealed in a much shorter time. Well, here's another answer for you...READ THE TITLE!!!!! BTW, read this! I made a mistake because at the first few chapters, I put Inuyasha's last name as Kaitou, and now I put it as Taikou. I didn't notice that, just assume it as like this. Kaitou is his mother's last name, and Taikou is his father's, so he basically got his father's last name ok.
Thankz so much 2 my reviewers:

Chapter 12: Identity Unveiled Pt. 1
" So let me get this straight. Someone im-ed you last night, saying about your bracelet and stuffs from your childhood and you think it's Inuyasha?" Sango asked.
Sango was walking with Kagome to school, arguing for about 10 minutes whether they should take the bus. Sango insisted on taking the bus, while Kagome wanted to walk. Kagome won with the 2 sets of tossing the coin, winning both straight sets.
The two girls walked along the sidewalk, Kagome informing Sango about the incident last night while she was online.
Kagome nodded her head as a response at Sango's question and added, " He even said my nickname, that no one else calls me...Kag-chan. I swear......that has to be him. Right Sango-chan?"
Sango rubbed the back of her head with her left hand while trying to cradle her notebook in her right hand. Then she spoke up, " Well, you can't say for sure that it was him because he didn't even tell you that it was him. I mean, if it was Inuyasha, he should have shown you his face right now. What' s his point of hiding?"
" I don't know, but I have that feeling inside of me, that........ that was Inuyasha. No doubt about it."
" Just like the time when you thought Yash was Inuyasha," Sango reminded, reminding Kagome about the incident at the mall.
Kagome sighed in defeat, " Maybe you're right. I'm just getting carried away. I'm becoming really desperate, that I'll believe anything just to see if he really did come back."
Sango patted Kagome's back, trying to comfort her. She fet bad for her own bestfriend, because here she is, after seven years, still waiting for her childhood friend to come back. Then, Sango's face suddenly brightened up, an idea popped into her mind.
" Hey Kagome-chan, that guy that talked to you online last night, he said he's already seen and talked to you lately right?" Sango asked.
Kagome looked at Sango, " Yeah, why?"
" Well," a smile formed on Sango's face, " what if he goes to our school?"
" Maybe, maybe not. I don't know Sango. If I've talked to him before then I should know that it was him the first time I talked to him."
" Maybe I can go check it out in the main office. I'm an office assistant there and they let me sort through the list of student profiles ya know. I could look at it after school"
Kagome's face brightened, " You're right! Oh my gosh, you are so brilliant Sango-chan!" Kagome exclaimed.
Kagome gave Sango a hug, laughing and giggling. The people who were passing by were now looking at them strangely. Sango gently pushed Kagome and pointed to the passerby's that were looking at them.
She turned to Sango and whispered, " On the count of three, let's run ok? !" The two girls sprinted off, laughing loudly while the some of the people who were passing by muttered something about 'strange highschool girls'.
" Yash, you better get up from my seat before I punch you in the head!" Kagome warned. She stood in front of Inuyasha who was sitting at her desk, ignoring her while he flirted with the girls around him.
Yash didn't even spare her a glance which made Kagome even more angrier. They all just got back at lunch and still has 5 more minutes before their teacher comes in. Kagome wanted to sit down already but Yash doesn't want to move from her desk.
The girls around him kept on giggling, the others softly patting him on the hand which made Kagome sigh in disgust. She summoned up all her strength to push Yash off the chair and succeeded but with one flaw.
Yash held on to Kagome's arms and both their bodies flailed, falling down on the floor. Both weren't aware of their uncomfortable position. Kagome was on top of Yash, his arms around her waist, both his legs were between hers.
" That hurts," Kagome winced from the pain. She opened her eyes only to find a pair of glowing golden eyes glaring at her. She studied their position then abruptly stood up, her face blushing deep red. She smoothed her skirt and fixed her hair then looked at a growling hanyou.
Yash was about to say something but Kagome cutted him off, " You started it, so just shut up."
He rolled his eyes, rubbing the back of his sore head that hit the floor. After a few moments, the group of girls went up to him asking him if he was all right.
" Yash, are you alright?"
" Oh my gosh, are you hurt?"
" You wanna go to the clinic or something?"
" Girls, girls, I'm sure Yash is gonna be alright," interrupted Miroku who just came in the door. He assured the girls that he was fine, and pulled him away from them. Kagome didn't bother to spare both guys a glance, already having problems bothering her.
" Don't even bother to complain Inuyasha. It's your fault anyways," Miroku scolded.
Inuyasha growled, " I know that so shut up. I was just trying to cheer her up, ever since this morning she's been half happy and half gloomy about something."
" And that's the best way that you can think of to try to cheer Kagome up?"
" Yeah, I guess...but seriously, something's bothering her."
" You know what? I have a better idea of cheering her up," Miroku said.
Inuyasha looked at him, his arms across his chest. He glanced at Kagome who had her back turned to him while she chatted with Sango before finally asking, " What is it then?"
" Tell her who you really are," Miroku simply pointed out.
Inuyasha glared at Miroku, " You know I can't do that."
" Actually, the reason that you've been giving me is really stupid. There's something else behind this huh? Something that you don't or can't tell me."
Inuyasha nodded, " Besides, 3 more days and its Monday."
" You're right....just wish that she won't get mad after she finds out."
" I always do....and I hope it works."
Kagome laid on her bed, burying her heads into the pillows. She felt as if her whole body was about to give up on her. She was tired. Tired of everything. Tired of the way her schoolworks has been piling up on her. Tired from all school events, tired from Yash always annoying her. Tired of the way destiny has been playing with her.
She got home after Sango giving her the bad news of not seeing any records of Inuyasha.
None. Not even one.
Sango stayed after, telling Kagome to go on because she had to stay until 4 pm.
She thought about Inuyasha again. Why all this time he hasn't written to her once? She remembered how everytime her mom gets a letter, she would go up to her and ask her if Inuyasha sent anything. But all she got was a dreadful 'no'.
A blur of memories suddenly engulfed her.
Flashback
" Kag-chan, I swear I won't let you fall," Inuyasha said.
" Well, you better not. I'm scared of heights ok?" Kagome warned, her voice quivering from fright . Inuyasha tucked her legs on his sides and they went off. Kagome hugged Inuyasha tightly on the back while Inuyasha held her tight to keep her from falling. Inuyasha jumped to a tree, then slowly put down Kagome.
Kagome slowly opened her eyes to see where Inuyasha brought her. She was marveled at the sight that was set upon her. The beach where they always play set out in the horizon. The sun was about to set and there they were on the nearest tree that had the best view of the sunset.
She looked up at Inuyasha who was smiling down at her. She turned her glance away from him as he sat down. He put his arms around Kagome's shoulders which made her blush.
Both leaned against each other with the comforting silence as they watch the sun set from the horizon. The gentle waves of the beach and the chirping of the birds brought a soothing calmness in each other.
After a few moments, Kagome broke the silence, " Inuyasha....don't ever leave me ok?"
Inuyasha glanced sideways at Kagome and smiled, " Of course I won't....I'll never leave your side. Kagome..."
End of flashback
A tear made its way down Kagome's cheeks. She sniffed and wiped the tear with the palm of her hands and stood up. A part of her wanted to stay hoping for Inuyasha to come back and yet a part of her wanted to give up.
All these years she's been waiting...hoping that he would come back or even write to her. But he never has...what's the point of waiting? She already wants to give up and try to go on with her life without him. But then...
" Tell me......what am I supposed to do?" Kagome cried, hugging the pillow in her arms.
The phone beside her bed suddenly started ringing. She let it go at it for a few seconds, and sighed exasperatedly after no one has picked it up. She hastily picked the phone up and grumbled a 'hello'.
" Hey Kagome," the voice on the other line greeted.
Kagome's eyes twitched, " What do you want Yash?!"
" Chill down girl, take a chill pill."
" I said what do you want?"
" Can you come with me to the beach? I'm bored and I wanna check out the cafe bar there..that we didn't get to go to last time because of your friend who went off."
" It's not her fault. That friend of yours is a freakin pervert! Anyways, I don't wanna go...I'm too busy." Kagome sat up straight, fiddling with her fingers.
" What are you doing anyways? Thinking of that Inu-dude again?"
" That's none of your business," Kagome snapped.
" Come on...if you come with me, at least I know that you'll cheer up a bit," Inuyasha's voice faltered from the phone.
Kagome remained silent on the other line for a few seconds but then she answered, " Alright..I'll go."
" Sango, you can go home in 5 minutes. Just please put this in the sophomore student files for me," the lady in the counter said. Sango stood up from her desk and took the papers that the lady had in her hands and went towards the drawer with the files.
She watched as the lady left, with her finger pointing at the restroom signaling that she has to go to the restroom. Sango turned back to her work, sighing because of Kagome.
She saw how Kagome's excited expression turned into a sad one when she told her that she didn't find anything about Inuyasha. There really wasn't one when she looked at the computer a while ago. She doesn't like seeing her being depress over him...she had enough!
For the 6 years that they've been together, when they met each other in school, all Kagome talked about was Inuyasha. Sango succesfully cheered her up and told her that Inuyasha would be coming back..but he never did.
Ever since that incident with Yash in the mall, Kagome went back to her usual, depressed state.
" Stupid Yash for making her remember and freakin Inuyasha for making my friend cry!" Sango barked loudly to herself.
She skimmed the files and found the folder of a student that she was looking for and she placed the papers in the folder. She was about to close the drawer when something caught her eye. A folder with the word "PRIVATE" in the yellow tab.
She raised her eyebrow then looked around to see if anyone was there. Not seeing anyone in sight, she slowly picked it up and opened it.
Sango read it, loud enough for her to hear, " IMPORTANT PRIVATE STUDENT FILES FOR: Mr. TAIKOU,YASH."
Sango snorted, like there could anything be important for that guy. She skimmed through the paper and found something on the bottom that caught her attention.
" Yash Taikou's background information....born in Tokyo,Japan," Sango raised her eyebrow then continued reading on. " Migrated to America at the age of 9...."
She suddenly stopped, that kinda rings a bell...something familiar that Kagome told her about someone.
" Currently at the age of 16, sophomore class-B.....Mr. Taikou, Yash's real name - " Sango's eyes widened at what followed after. She couldn't believe it. There's no way he could be! But then again, he does look like him, the way Kagome had described him. But why was he denying it?!
" Wait...Kagome..I have to go tell her!" Sango dropped the files on the floor and grabbed her backpack from the side and ran off. The lady just came out of the bathroom and called out to her but Sango kept on running.
There on the floor laid Yash's private files. The papers scattered on the floor, and on one of them is a name enscripted......Inuyasha Taikou.
