(Hello everyone who reads this! I may have failed to mention what Yume looks like besides she looks like Kagome. So I'll clear that up right now! She has long black hair much like Kagome's; same eyes only a lil bigger to give her that cute-and-adorable-kid look. She has on a light blue kimono and over that a small dark blue robe and tied around over her robe and Kimono is a thick piece of red cloth. She's very cute! ♥ That's all!)

Kagome doesn't move or say anything. Kouga looks from Yume to Kagome noticing the strong resemblance. Sango and Miroku look confused.

"Aw, she's cute." Shippo says softly.

Yume takes a good look at Kagome and gasps excitedly. Kagome falls to her knees not taking her eyes off of the girl.

Yume looks very happy and InuYasha looks very worried what's about to happen next.

"M-Mommy!" Yume says happily. Kagome looks like she's about to faint. Kouga and InuYasha go a very deep red in the face and Sango, Miroku, and Shippo's mouths drop open.

Kagome is frozen to the spot. "M-Me?"

Yume nods happily. "Mommy!" She starts to cry. "I was so scared!" Yume runs to Kagome and hugs her. Kagome still isn't moving but manages a weak hug back. InuYasha leans against the wall for support and Kouga sits back down. Shippo crawls towards Yume and Kagome. Yume backs away from Kagome and looks at Shippo. He examines Kagome and Yume then takes a quick look at InuYasha and Kouga and shrugs.

"Got me. Yume looks a lot like Kagome but doesn't resemble either one of you two."

Kouga glares at Shippo and InuYasha makes a nervous noise. Kagome stands up quickly and grabs Yume's hand. She, like InuYasha and Kouga, is blushing and heads for the door with Yume behind her. "L-Look guys. I think I should take Yume and um…well, leave." And with that both the girls took off.

Kouga glares at Shippo. "Good one."

Shippo shrugs. "What'd I do?"

"You made a huge mistake." Kouga stands up. "Yume has a small resemblance of me." He says quietly. Sango and Miroku back up against the wall. "Uh oh."

InuYasha gets up in Kouga's face. "Are you nuts?! She looks nothing like you!!"

Kouga nods. "Yes she does! She sure as heck doesn't look like you!"

"Yea, and she looks soo much like you Kouga." InuYasha says sarcastically.

"I'm glad you noticed."

"Err, that was sarcasm!"

"Not to me!"

Sango and Miroku sit quietly watching back and forth as the two continued to insult each other.

Shippo taps at the floor looking bored but thoughtful. He suddenly gets up. "Kouga, even if Yume yours—"

InuYasha growls at him. "And she's not."

"—Yume would be a half demon but she's human. Well---she does have a little bit of demon in her. But it's very faint."

InuYasha remembers when Kagura pushed Yume out of the air and she got up like nothing happened. "So," Shippo continues. "I'm going with InuYasha on this one. She isn't yours Kouga." Kouga doesn't seem too happy about this. "So? I can change that." And he leaves. InuYasha looks annoyed and goes after him. Shippo looks at Miroku. "Do you have any idea what just happened?"

"Not a clue."

Yume is busy picking little white flowers. Kagome is close by hugging her knees and looking very scared. Only 15 years. I'm only 15. All of this is so scary. And I can't talk to InuYasha about it; he's too busy fighting with Kouga. And how can I talk to Sango about it, or Miroku? I bet I can talk to Kouga about it.

"Mommy?"

Kagome looks up. Yume has a whole bunch of pink and white flowers in her hands. "Look what I picked." Kagome smiles a little. "They're pretty." Yume looks a little sad. "Um…do you want them?" Kagome looks like she's about to cry. "For me? You picked those for me?"

"Um, uh huh. You seemed a little sad so I wanted to make you happy again. You don't look different at all."

Kagome seems confused about that last part. "Oh? …Oh, I see."

"Are you sad still?"

"No, no, not really."

Yume looks around suddenly. "I hear something." She looks over at the bushes and they move a little. Kagome looks up. "What's wrong?" Yume puts down the flowers and takes a few steps closer to the bushes. The wind picks up. Kagome stands up. Yume parts the bushes and Kagura comes out and takes hold of her.

"Kagura! Let her go!"

Kagura wraps her around Yume's neck. "It's almost sunset. Why aren't you at the castle yet? Or at least closer to it?" Kagome pulls out her bow and reaches for an arrow.

Kagura tightens her grip. "Don't even think about it. I have no interest I harming her. I gave her an order; she should follow it. Or else…"

Kagome drops her arrow. "Let her go Kagura!"

Kagura lets go and throws her to the side. "I'll let her go, today. But if she doesn't follow her order, I'll kill her." The wind picks up and Kagura disappears.

Kagome throws down her bow and by instinct, runs to Yume. "Yume! Yume, are you o.k?"

Yume is crying. She picks herself up. "I'm sorry. I forgot. I cant do it though!"

Kagome kneels beside her. "Do what? What's Kagura talking about?" Yume shakes her head. "I don't remember. No wait, yes I do." Kagome shakes her head nervously.

"I don't believe this."

"Believe what?"

"I'm sorry…but there's just no way. I wasn't meant to stay here. I don't belong here!"

"Mommy?" Yume questions.

From the bushes where Kagura was, InuYasha and Kouga listen carefully.

InuYasha ducks. "What's she talking about?"

"Shh. Quiet!"

Yume wipes the tears away from her eyes. "W-What?"

Kagome stands back up, furious. "I don't believe Kagura, or InuYasha, or you, or anybody else! You're not my daughter! You're not!"

Yume looks confused and upset. "Mommy…"

"Stop calling me that!!"

From the bushes, Kouga and InuYasha look on helplessly. Kouga ducks down again. "Kagome is pretty upset." InuYasha nods. "Yeah she is."

Kagome's face is tear stained and angry. Yume is confused and sad. "I don't understand."

"Look, Yume, I don't know where or who your mom is. But she's not me! You said yourself you don't remember much. How do you even know that I'm your mother?!" Kagome yells. Tears well up in Yume's eyes. "I do remember stuff. I do. It just hurts. I remembered the village, I remember the Sacred Tree. I—"

Kagome cuts her off. "Anyone can know about this place. I need to leave." Kagome picks up her bow and arrow and arrow and starts to go back to the hut. Yume starts after her but stops. "…Mo—" Kagome keeps walking. "I am not your mother!" she shrieks.

Yume stands there and clutches her chest where her heart is. She watches Kagome walks off until she can't see her and sits down, sad, lonely, but mostly confused. InuYasha and Kouga come out of hiding but Yume doesn't look up. Both boys look as confused as Yume but nowhere nearly as sad. "Look, Kouga. You talk to the girl. I'll go find Kagome." Kouga grabs a piece of InuYasha's hair. InuYasha growls at him. "Yea right, dog-boy, you stay here. I'll take care of Kagome."

InuYasha growls again. No way can I let Kouga talk to her. "Fine. But I thought you wanted Yume on your good side, Kouga."

Kouga let's go of InuYasha's hair. "Huh?"

InuYasha snickers. "You know. You wanted to prove that Kagome was yours—" InuYasha makes a disgusted face. "—So prove it." Kouga crosses his arms. "Okay, I will." Kouga jumps over the bushes and heads for Yume. InuYasha holds his sleeve up to his mouth to keep from laughing. He's more stupid than he looks!
