A/n… gasp I got a really nice review! Omg! TY all you that reviewed! You make me keep going! I LUV U ALL!! I have an idea of how to end Ali, but that won't happen for a while, I'll start writing another fic, but like the life of all purity, I won't publish it until my other fics are done.
Disclaimer: let's just put it this way… I'm not rolling in cash… Rumiko Takahashi is… figure it out!
Kagome nodded, not trusting herself to speak, and stood up, grabbing her bow and arrows, and ran down to the front door. She didn't exactly need the arrows, she could easily purify anything that threatened her, but it felt good to know that she could do some long-range damage. Hopping on Kirara, they flew off, al the while Kagome was praying to both Buddha and Kami that Kohaku was all right, for Sango's sake.
Inuyasha was walking around town, no particular destination intended, just wandering. He thought of Kagome, both the new one and the old one. Was it possible that they were the same person? His Kagome had been in his grade, this one wasn't. Wasn't that difference enough? He didn't really care, he was just curious he told himself 'that's just what you want to think' that annoying voice in his head voiced.
Feeling a sudden urge to destroy something, he pulled his sword, Tetsusaiga, out of its sheath, and looked around for a tree, park bench, even a small building to destroy, but no such luck. Deciding he would have to settle for a playground, he ran up, and started off by slashing the slide in two, followed by slicing and dicing those two pieces. He was about to go for the tire swing, when he heard a cry for help.
with Sango and Kagome
"HELP!" a young boy's voice rang out through the city.
"KOHAKU!" Sango screeched, as Kirara turned in the direction of the yell. After flying for no more than a minute, the ended up at a small, abandoned shrine. Sango grasped her weapon, a giant bone boomerang she so affectionately called Hiraikotsu, -why people named their weapons, Kagome didn't know- and thrust it at the closest thing, which happened to be the shrine gates. Rushing in, the two girls stopped when they saw a figure looming over a smaller, human, form. "Get away from him!" Sango yelled, once again thrusting the Hiraikotsu at the most threatening object, now being the form over Kohaku. The object of her hatred looked up, and not a second to soon, he jumped up, and pulled out a sword, before landing on the ground, and gasping at the weapon that Sango now held in her hands.
"You!" He yelled, walking slowly over to Sango. "You were, you were there- when, when she, when she fell." He whispered.
"Who? Who fell? When?"
"Over 10 years ago, my, my little Kagome, she- she fell…" he didn't need to finish his sentence for them to figure out what he meant.
"Hey Yash! Everything ok over here?" a young, hanyou girl called over
"Yeah Sakura, I got it under control." Kagome turned to look at the girl, and gasped. She was standing in front of a huge tree. An image flashed before Kagome's eyes.
A young girl of no more than 5 was running around a huge tree, chasing a boy who was older by only a few years. He had silver hair, and two puppy ears on top of his head, and amber eyes. "Inuyasha, let's go sit in the tree!" the young girl called to the boy. The boy, who the girl had referred to as Inuyasha quickly grabbed the girl, who Kagome thought was herself, and bounded up into the tree branches.
Kagome looked away from the tree, and at the old, broken-down house.
"S-Souta?" Kagome whispered, taking a hesitant step towards the house. Souta. It had been the future name of her mothers' unborn child. She looked more intently at the house, and then, without thinking, she ran in, pushing the rotting boards away. She had made it to what appeared to be the kitchen, when Sango's hand stopped her.
"C'mon Kagome, let's go home." She said softly.
"Something happened here, before I met you. I know it…" Kagome whispered, her voice cracking. "I know it." She whispered so quietly that even Inuyasha had to strain to hear it.
"Kagome, we should go back now, really, we should" Sango said, not knowing what this shrine had to do with Kagome's past, but not sure she wanted to find out either.
"Not yet. I need- I need to know more. Maybe I can figure out who I am. I need this, Sango, please?" she begged. Sango sighed and nodded, knowing that taking Kagome away could harm her more than letting her stay. Kagome slowly creeped down a hallway, and walked to the room at the end. She touched her hand to the doorknob, but yanked it back when she was hit with a memory. Slowly putting her hand back on the doorknob, this time letting the memory take her.
A small girl ran up to a young woman. 'Mommy! Mommy look what I found!'
'What is it Kagome?' the young woman asked. The small girl walked up to the lady, and opened her hands, which were cupped together, letting a beautiful butterfly flutter out. 'Ain't it pretty?' Kagome asked, smiling
'Yes Kagome, it is very pretty.' The woman smiled, and took Kagome's hand. 'Let's go home now. I have a special surprise for you when we get there.'
'Ok mommy!' the young girl smiled, running ahead to pick some dandelions. She tucked one behind her ear, and took three others to put in a vase when she got home.
'Mommy has a special surprise for you Kagome.' The same young woman said, smiling. 'Pretty soon, you're going to have a baby brother or sister.' She said, her smile widening.
'REALLY?' Kagome asked, grinning. 'Yuka has a little sister, and she lets me play with her all the time! Babies are so cute!' she giggled.
"S- Souta!" she said, louder this time. "He- he didn't make it?" She finished in a whisper. She slowly turned the doorknob, revealing a large pink room. There was a queen bed in one corner, with pink and white blankets, and a white wicker chair opposite it. It had two doors on one wall, Kagome figured they lead to a bathroom and a closet, and there was a white dresser just below a huge window. She gasped. On the wall by the dresser, there were blood spatters. She stared at the red blotches, before whimpering. "Mamma?" she whispered softly "MAMMA!" she yelled, before everything went black.
