Disclaimer- we all know it already, I am just a writer. Sorry this is just a filler…just something to get out of the way more will come later. Don't want to make any excuses but I have some major tests in the next few weeks to I might jag behind in my writing…after Tennis season I will write more cross my heart!

Kagome stood in the kitchen making the finishing touches on dinner, as Ami stood silently watching her, Ami knew that today was the day she had to tell Kagome, but something was telling her not to. It was possibly the fact that it would hurt her or that Kagome would be angry but she knew that once she said it the lives of everyone close to them would change.

Finally taking a deep breathe she walked into that kitchen just as Kagome was putting the last of the sushi in the refrigerator. "Kagome, there is something that I need to tell you." Her voice sounded sad and depressed which in itself earned Kagome's attention.

They sat starring at each other for a few moments at the kitchen table, an air of secrecy radiating off Ami. "Please just listen to what I am going to tell you." She began wanting to delay it as long as she could, taking another deep breathe she spoke. "When you were five years old there was an accident, Miki Higurashi and her daughter Suki were killed. When they were taken to the hospital, it was discovered that Suki was not Mrs. Higurshi's child.

"The Higurashi's were a rich couple and the death of Mr. Higurashi's wife and the child he thought was his broke his heart. With his large sums of money, he set out to find his real child, and after a long search, he found out the truth. The night his daughter was born, there was a major mix up in the hospital, and many babies were switched.

"Two years into his search he found you, you are his daughter, and his Suki was mine. You were already seven years old and because of that, we made a deal. I was allowed to keep you as mine, but on your eighteenth you would learn the truth and it will be your choice where you go from there." Tears didn't come as quickly as one would have expected, it took a few moments.

"I just want you to know that he loves you, everything he did he did for you. Your real mother didn't just die, she was murdered and he wanted you to be safe. I am so sorry." Suddenly the flood gates were opened.

Sitting in a complete silence Kagome allowed the news to wash over her, it was strange. Telling anyone something like that would not only be painful but unusual as it proved to be for Kagome. Without saying a word, she hugged the woman who was in all aspects her mother. "You will always be my mother." A whispered promise sealed her fate.
