I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO sorry that it took so long to update. As someone kindly pointed out it has been over a month. Well as I am a little stuck I will do my best but I can't promise that it will be much of a chapter. So remember that you can give any suggestions that you might have.


Giving up, or Moving On?

Ch. 7 Questions and answers

Once Inuyasha and Kagome got home they went upstairs and debated on what to do about the sleeping conditions. Inuyasha told Kagome to take the bed and he would make a bed on the floor. "O.k. but only if you promise when I wake up I will be the ONLY one in the bed," Kagome said. Inuyasha chuckled and just nodded. They both lay down to get some good sleep.

When they woke up the next morning they went downstairs and into the kitchen. They both got some cereal and sat down to eat it. While they were eating there were many questions going through both of their heads but neither wanted to break the silence first. Finally Kagome broke it, "Inuyasha, why did your hair change color when we went out? You said something about your true form but what did that mean?"

Inuyasha just sat and looked at her for a minute, 'should I tell her the truth? She will find out eventually but will she be scared and leave if she knows?' He hesitated for a second and said, "Well...Have u heard of the demons that live around the world? There are very few left but there are still some." Kagome thought for a second and nodded, she could remember hearing about demons still living. The ones she heard of were ferocious and had no mercy for mankind. "Well...my father was a demon...my mother was a human.... So I came out a half demon."

Kagome sat in shock for a minute. "I didn't know that even happened.... I mean the only demons I have heard of are really...mean." Inuyasha smiled slightly, 'she's not scared that's good.' "Well not all demons are evil, most are yes but not all."

Kagome just nodded and said, "So why do you have to hide that?"

"Because both demons and humans distrust half demons. Neither will accept them"

Kagome looked at Inuyasha with pity in her eyes. "That must have been terrible. I would never be able to imagine never being liked by anyone... well maybe a little but not to that extreme." Inuyasha just looked at her and smiled.

"So you don't care that I'm a half demon? I mean most people just run from me when they find out what I really am. Sango and Miroku don't even know, I was to scared that I would lose my only friends... that's why I didn't tell you either."

Kagome got up and walked around the table. She sat down in a chair right next to Inuyasha and wrapped her arms around him in a comforting embrace. "No, I don't care what you are as long as you are Inuyasha." Inuyasha smiled, he never knew that it would feel so good to be excepted for just by being himself.

"Kagome, I have a question for you," Inuyasha said after a few minutes silence. She looked up at him and waited for him to continue. "What happened to your mother after she left you and your dad? Did you ever hear anything from her? Why didn't she try to contact you?"

Kagome sat in silence for a minute thinking about the best way to answer those questions. "Well... after she left she didn't really want anything to do with my dad so she couldn't contact me. Not to long after she left I got a call from the police... Telling me that there had been an accident." Tears started to swell in her eyes as she thought about it. "She and my brother both died. It was a painless death for both of them because they died instantly. Because I was young the police wouldn't tell me exactly what they died from so I'm not sure..." Inuyasha felt bad. He knew he shouldn't have asked about her mother but couldn't help it.

"My mother died to... she was killed by some of the mean demons for mating with a demon... same with my father, they didn't like the thought of him being with a human so they stopped it." Kagome and Inuyasha both felt so bad about what had happened but both were thinking the same thing, 'it's nice to be able to talk about it to someone.'

"So what about your brother? Is he a half demon to?" Kagome asked him. Inuyasha shook his head, "No he's a full demon. My father had another mate before my mom." Kagome nodded, understanding what went on in Inuyasha's life so far.

"Enough of this sad talk lets find something to do," Inuyasha said as he got up and went to the sink to wash dishes. Kagome brought her bowl over to the sink and handed it to Inuyasha, he out it in the water and washed it real quick before sticking it in the dish rack to dry.

"Well what can we do around here?" Kagome asked. "What do you normally do now?"

Inuyasha thought for a while, "Well normally right about now I am at the stables. It is like a 20 minute drive but it is cool anyway, the horses seem to calm my nerves u know." Kagome smiled and said, "So why don't we go to the stables... I've never ridden a horse before it seems like a lot of fun."

"Ok we can go just give me a few minutes to get a shower and get ready k?" Kagome smiled and nodded while Inuyasha walked out of the kitchen to go and get ready to leave.
