PREVIOUS CHAPTER: REVIELING THE PAST PART 1

Kagome allowed a little smile, "Umm you saw a young man?"

"Oh yes, Souta's father."

CHAPTER 4: REVIELING THE PAST PART 2

"The man of course was Souta's father and I'll never forget how kind he was when I first came to the shrine. He didn't really know who or what I was but he saw how desperate I was and that I had a very young child with me. He made up a room for me and made me some food and he even went out and bought some baby food for you, of course at the time you were still so young and I was still breast-feeding you, but it was still very generous of him to think of you. I didn't really figure out immediately that I had made a time slip, but after awhile I sort of figured it out. After letting me sleep that day he brought his father into the room to ask how I had gotten there. They really didn't believe me when I explained that I had gotten chased by wolf demons and hid in the well and used my energy to create the time slip, but I think they more or less just said they believed me to ease my nerves. In later years Souta's father explained to me that he was so happy that I had run away from home and ended up with him. I knew that they wouldn't believe my story, but it was the truth."

"Mom, why didn't they believe you? I mean didn't I look like a demon because of who my father was?" Kagome asked.

"That's another part of the story. You see that night when I realized what I had done I knew I had to hide your true form from them. With that nights meal I had regained a lot of energy and was well rested. My mother had taught me how to disguise myself and I used that technique to do the same to you."

Kagome thought about this for a moment and then looked up at her mom, "Why am I still human then? I mean can't a disguise wear off?"

Her mother nodded, "Yes they can dear. What I put on you was very strong it actually was more powerful than I had imagined. I locked your demon blood away from you, and when you came of age it would resurface."

Of course she thought. Maybe those are those horrible pains I've been having. That has to be it. "Mom I've been having these pains that just take over my whole body could this have anything to do with that?"

Her mother winced. This shouldn't be happening yet it's too early isn't it? Maybe her youkia blood is stronger that I thought. Not to worry her daughter she just nodded. "It probably is that. Lets see your almost 17 aren't you Kagome?"

Her daughter nodded. "Mom is there anymore that you haven't told me?"

Her mother smiled weekly. Well yes enough for now my dear you have a lot to learn. "Maybe if you hunt Natilruh down she could give you some more information that I couldn't really explain. Look, Kagome I'm sorry that I didn't tell you before I really wish I had. I just kept it from you for so long that I dreaded telling you."

At a loss for words Kagome just nodded. This was just too much to handle. Her head was now pounding and all she wanted to do was lay down. "I'm gonna go lay down call me when suppers ready."

Her mother looked like she had just been defeated and she looked like she wanted to cry, "Ok dear."

Kagome pulled herself up the stairs. She felt like she was in a daze. This was all just a dream. She would wake up soon just wait the alarm clock will go off any minute now. Who am I kidding? You know it's true you just don't want to believe it. She opened her door and closed it not even looking up. She flopped on her bed and was soon snapped back to reality when someone pushed her. "Hey why'd ya do that for stupid wench! Can't ya see I'm trying to sleep!"

She was shocked to see Inuyasha laying in bed obviously ticked and glaring at her. " Sorry, I didn't see you," she said sitting down at his feet.

"How could you miss me?" he yelled.

"Look I said I was sorry ok!" she yelled right back almost in tears. This was just too much! She had just been told that she was not a human and now Inuyasha was yelling at her.

Inuyasha looked at her. He was about to yell out some other crude word, but he saw the disorientation in her eyes. She looked like someone who had just been told that someone very close had died. He made a note to soften his voice when he spoke, "Kagome are you ok?" he asked leaning up and sitting beside her.

She looked at him with eyes full of tears, "Yes, there is but I'm just exhausted I don't really wanna talk about it right now ok?" with that she crawled over to the opposite side of the bed and buried her face in a pillow.

Inuyasha winced. He hated seeing her cry. "Kagome?"

She didn't really want to look at him, but the tone of his voice made her. She rolled over and looked at him through her tears. Then it happened. She closed her eyes tightly as the pained shot through her body. It took hold of her mind and spirit. Every muscle went tense. Her veins felt like they were on fire. She pulled her knees up to her chest hopping that this would ease the pain. It didn't her head was now pounding and her stomach had resumed its usual cartwheels. She tried to fight against the pain, but it overpowered her. Her mind went a sudden black and she lost every touch of reality.

Her hair was being brushed away from her sweat filled body. She flinched. Someone was holding her. She opened her eyes and was shocked at who she saw. She tried to say something but he put his finger to her lips. She looked at him. "Shh, It's ok, it's all over now relax."

She smiled. Being in his arms felt so…comforting. "Your mother explained the whole thing to me when I called her in here. It's ok to be scared, but I'll help you."

A wave of relief washed over her body as she looked into his large amber eyes. She saw a tinge of fear though. "How long did it last this time?" she was almost too afraid to ask.

He thought a moment and then said, "Almost 10 minutes I think."

It was the worst 10 minutes her had every experienced. He remembered seeing her wince as the pain took hold of her body. He had tried to touch her but she had screamed when he did. Her mother ran into the room after he yelled for her. She had ran in and gasped. He remembered what she said, "Take away everything around her so she doesn't hurt herself. She's trying to fight it."

"Trying to fight what? Damn it all what the hell is goin on? Isn't there anything we can do?" he demanded as he helplessly took the lamp off her night stand and everything else off as well.

She shook her head sadly, "There is nothing we can do for her until her blood has broken through it's barriers."

Those words had scared him even though he didn't know what it had meant. "What the fuck are you talking about? Can't you see how much she's hurting?"

She nodded and quickly explained what was happening. He had been shocked when he had discovered that Kagome's youkia blood was trying to break its barriers. He had asked Kagome's mom how this was and she explained that her father was a wolf demon. So she's a hanyou? He took another look at her thrashing body and saw something different about her. He saw her in another way, but wasn't sure what it meant. "Why is she trying to fight it?" he found himself asking.

"Because she is feeling the pain of my barriers breaking and is trying to stop it."

When Kagome had ceased her thrashing she laid there motionless. Her mother dabbed a wet towel on her daughters' head. He watched as Kagome's lungs expanded as she fought for more air. Her mother had smiled and asked him to keep and eye on her while she made dinner. He had nodded and as she left the room he sat down beside her. He picked her up in his arms and pulled her to his chest. She had sweat pouring from her body and was breathing very fast. He held her close to his body. He didn't believe how light she was. He had been holding her for about 5 minutes before she had stirred.

"So my mom explained to you?" she asked looking away from him

"For the most part. Look, Kagome I can't imagine how you feel, but whatever obstacles you have to climb just know that you won't be alone. Not as long as I'm around."

She looked at him for the first time a new way. A tear trailed down her cheek and he whipped it away. "Don't cry Kagome I hate it when you cry."

She smiled up at him. He sat her down beside him and she felt sad that she could no longer be held in his arms. She noticed something else right at that moment. It was very faint, but she smelt something salty almost like tears…her tears. She thought a moment, "Inuyasha can you smell it when someone cries?"

He gave her a questioning look then realized why she asked. She's getting her senses! Damn! "You're senses are becoming stronger. That's a trait of most youkia."

She nodded. Great! "Kagome! Inuyasha! Dinners ready!" she heard her mother yell from downstairs. Usually her mother had to come upstairs to tell her dinner was ready. She made a mental note to herself as she walked downstairs to ask Inuyasha more about these senses.

Thank you for reviewing I'm so happy that I've had my first review. I hope that more ppl will r&r, but we'll see in all due time lol. If anyone has any questions don't be afraid to ask I'll try to answer them to the best of my ability.

Disclaimer: I sadly don't own Inuyasha or any of the original characters of the anime/manga. However Natilruh is my own creation and was created in my own head.
