Chapter 12
Woman In A Photograph and Confrontation"Oh my God."
Kagura stumbled back from the photograph and hit something solid. She turned around to see Sesshomaru. "What are you doing here, you murderer?" She spat at him. Momentarily forgetting the photo, she leered at him and dared him to reply.
"I am sorry that you are angry, but the past is something that cannot be changed. Furthermore, this is my home." His lip curled. Though it was true that he was one, he did not particularly like being called a murderer. "And what are you doing in my idiot stepbrother's room?" He asked her. She looked as white as a ghost. He wondered what was going on.
"I—"
"Yeah, why are you in this idiot's room?" Inu Yasha pranced in, smiling at her. "Well, I have no objections but I was just curious."
Kagura remembered now. She pointed to her mother in the photograph. "That woman you're with… is her name Kikyou?"
Inu Yasha's eyes suddenly froze over, glazing with sadness. "Did you know her?" Sesshomaru looked between Inu Yasha and Kagura, not realizing what was going on. Kagura's whole frame shook and just as she was falling over, Sesshomaru led her to sit down on Inu Yasha's bed.
"Like shit, I knew her!" Kagura screamed at Inu Yasha. Sesshomaru and his step brother were both taken aback. "Tell me, did you go out with her? Did you sleep with her twelve years ago? TELL ME!"
Inu Yasha stared at her. "So you did know her." His voice was sadder than Sesshomaru had ever heard it. "I did go out with her. And I did sleep with her, but it wasn't just a fling. I loved her. I loved her and she was killed." Deep, deep anger rose into his eyes. "I swore I'd hunt down the bastard who killed her, but I couldn't find him." He punched the wall. Sesshomaru still didn't understand.
"Well, you'll be disappointed to know that he's dead now." Kagura raised a hand and pointed to Sesshomaru. "Sesshomaru already killed him for you." Inu Yasha's head snapped up as he looked at his older brother.
"Wait, who was he to you?"
"He was her father."
Inu Yasha's face turned from Kagura to Sesshomaru, who answered for her. His eyes shifted back to Kagura. "You're her daughter?" Kagura nodded, her eyes unfocused.
Suddenly she stood up and slapped Inu Yasha. "You! It was you! You killed me, you know that? You killed me, my mother, my father, and my sister! You're a murderer too! Your whole family, bloody murderers!" Kagura suddenly plopped back down onto Inu Yasha's bed. "I loved her… Inu Yasha, your stupid affair with her cost our family happiness. And I don't believe you when you say she wasn't just another piece of ass for you. I hate you." She continued to cry loudly, sobbing.
"That's not true." Inu Yasha denied fiercely. "I loved her every bit as much as you did! If your father had just accepted that she wanted to be with me, we would have lived happily with our little girl. I know that's not you, but I don't even know where she is right now." Inu Yasha shook his head and leaned against the wall, taking the picture of him and Kikyou. "Even now, I can't get her out of my head! The only reason I gave Kagome a chance was because she looked like her. She looked like Kikyou…"
And so then Kagura and Inu Yasha were both crying and Sesshomaru was standing there awkwardly, not knowing what to do. Sesshomaru slipped out the door, but left open a crack so he could hear what was going on. He was surprise to see Kagome waiting there anxiously too.
After an hour or so, the two stopped blubbering had they seemed to just be talking things out. Sesshomaru breathed a sigh of relief. Wow, what a scene from a soap opera…
