"Kagome?" Keade asked again.
"Yeah sis how's it going on?"
"Where are you? How are you? Wait how did you get my number."
"I'm your sister I'm supposed to know these things."
"Yeah I guess so." Keade nodded.
"I missed you so much Keade how many years has it been?"
"I'm not sure I have stopped counting." Keade had long since accepted the fact that Kagome wasn't apart of her life. "We have to see each other again how about next week Tuesday."
"Yeah that's cool." The younger girl agreed. "Oh and Keade don't tell Kikyou that you're going to see me." Kagome warned her.
"Okay goodbye Kagome."
(Keade's thoughts)
After the phone had ringed and I realized that it wasn't Kikyou. A million thoughts ran through my head. Thoughts about who this person was on the other line. The voice was familiar but I couldn't picture a face. When she had announced how she was a million questions ran through my head. Why hadn't she ever showed up at any of my birthday parties? And why had she decided to contact me now after all of these years. But more importantly why did she and Kikyou hate each other. Ever since our father had died I just wanted us all to be a family. For some reason Kikyou didn't want to. She never did tell me what her reason was. Maybe Kagome can give me some answers.

(Kagome's thoughts)
I knew that it would be easy to get Keade to meet with me. She is stuck in the middle of this feud between Kikyou and me. That makes her vulnerable she loves us both and she doesn't want to see either of us hurt. What she doesn't realize is that she's a key part of my plan. Once I get her to hate Kikyou she'll do anything I tell her. Now that I know about Kikyou's high risk pregnancy and how she can not handle too much stress. My plan will fall into place. Inuyasha will finally be mine and well Kikyou will just be…." She stopped. "Well she'll just be dead. (Laughs to herself) thanks Keade.
(End of Kagome's thoughts)
Two days later Kagome called Inuyasha's house. He and Kikyou were in the middle of dinner when the phone rang. "I'll get it." Kikyou said as she was about to get up. "No I'll get it you sit down." He disappeared into the living room quickly picking up the phone.
"Yo." He answered.
"Hey Inuyasha what's new?"
"Who is this?"
"Don't tell me that you don't recognize the voice of the one you love." He knew that voice anger was starting to wash over him. First of all he wondered how she even got their number. "How did you get this number?" He asked her.
"I have my ways."
"What do you want?" Inuyasha didn't even realize that Kikyou was standing there. "Besides you well Kikyou's death." She answered.
"You fucking sick bitch what the hell is your problem. I don't love you." Kikyou paused slightly. There was only one person who could be on the other end of that line. Someone she had disliked greatly. "But Inuyasha." Kagome started.
"Bye." He set the phone down then sighed heavily. He didn't know that getting rid of Kagome was going to be this hard. He turned around to see Kikyou. "Kikyou?" he spoke. "Who was on the phone?" She wasn't sure why she had asked. She already knew who was on the phone. A part of her just didn't want to believe that it had been her.
"It was a bill collector." Inuyasha lied.
"You don't have to lie to spare my feelings." The only thing that was running through his mind now was the fact that she couldn't be stressed. She was now only months away from her due date. "You should sit down." He told her. She did although she really didn't see the point she was already starting to get upset. "It was Kagome."
"I figured as much. She is the only woman other than me who claims to love you."
"I swear I don't know how she got our number."
"I believe you."
"I'm really sorry about this Kikyou."
"I'm sure that this isn't your fault Inu. To be honest I was expecting that she would contact us soon."
"You have but why?" Inuyasha wondered. Before he could say anymore Kikyou handed him a silver locket. "It's nice." He whispered.
"It was my mothers. Kagome sent it to me a few months ago it was a way to hurt me."
"Are you sure? But why would she want to hurt you?"
"I told you she wants me out of the way so she could have you all to herself." Inuyasha knew that there had to be more to the story than that. Although everyone kept telling him that she and Kagome hadn't gotten along because of him. He refused to believe that was the whole story. "What else happened Kikyou?"
"I told you everything."
"No you haven't there's some big secret going on but you refuse to tell me what it is."
"And what about you how did you know it was Kagome. You haven't even met her yet." He turned away from her. "Or have you already met her is that it?"
"Yes I met her but it was only once." There was silence. Kikyou felt her whole body go numb. She had so many thoughts going on right now. Most of them focusing on Kagome being back in town. But when Inuyasha's words had sunk in she began to wonder if he would have ever told her the truth. "When did you see her?" Kikyou asked.
"It was the night that Sesshomaru and I had gotten into that fight."
"How long were you going to keep this from me?" she asked raising her voice slightly.
"I heard about how you didn't like her. So I didn't think it was a good idea to tell you. And you know that you can't handle stress right now."
"I don't give a damn about not being able to handle it. You should have told me."
"Why so that you could overreact like right now?" She paused for a moment. He was right she was overreacting. How could he expect her not to be? He had no idea about the whole story. "Okay maybe you're right but I would appreciate it if you would be honest with me."
"And that's exactly what I want from you. There are still a lot of things that I don't remember. So why don't you fill me in on the details. Starting with what really happened between you and Kagome." She flinched that was a touchy subject. She swore that she would take that secret to the grave. No one knew about it not even Keade.
"I want to tell you Inuyasha but I…" I just cant."
"You can tell me Kikyou."
"No I refuse to relieve that memory." It didn't take long for Inuyasha to realize that this conversation was going nowhere. It was now time to take drastic measures. He went upstairs to pack a suitcase. He knew that this would work. "Where are you going?" she asked.
"Away for a little while I'll be back when you feel like you can trust me."
"But Inuyasha I do trust you."
"So why cant you tell me what happened?" She paused again. "Kikyou is it really that bad." She nodded. "I'll miss you." He said leaving a kiss on her cheek. Then she watched until he disappeared into the car. She stood watching until the car was completely gone from sight. She went upstairs locking herself in their bedroom. She cried herself to sleep that night wondering if he would ever come back.
"What have I done?" she questioned herself.
And to think she did nothing but what the man that she loved walk away. All she had to do was tell him why she hated Kagome only she couldn't. The other people who knew anything about what went on that night were her parents. And they were both dead so neither of them could help her. It was because she didn't trust Inuyasha. The truth was that she hadn't told anyone. After all of these years of keeping this secret it was starting to eat her up inside. She couldn't keep on going like this. She would eventually have to tell someone starting with the person who deserved to know the most. That person happened to be her younger sister Keade.
Later that night Inuyasha found himself back at the bar. He wasn't surprised to see that Kagome was there. "Inuyasha I knew that you couldn't stay away."
"I'm not here for you. I just needed to get away for awhile."
"Is Kikyou getting on your nerves already?"
He said nothing to her as he took another sip of his drink. "What happened to us Inuyasha? We used to be so in love." She spoke.
"Excuse me?"
"Well we were. That is until Kikyou came along." This was all new to Inuyasha. The only relationship that he had been told about was the one he had with Kikyou. Was it possible that he had one with Kagome as well? "What the hell are you talking about?" he asked her.
"It's true we were a couple. But of course you don't remember with your amnesia and all. God knows what kinds of lies Kikyou has been feeding you."
Kikyou, lies, he and Kagome being a couple these details were all too much to take in. He didn't remember a lot of things but one thing he was sure about was that Kikyou had never lied to him. Every time he had asked her for the truth she had always been honest with him. If anything Kikyou had always been there for him from the beginning. "If we had a relationship why aren't we married?"
"We didn't get married because Kikyou became pregnant with your baby. So you married her." This was getting weirder and weirder by the minute. "You're lying."
"I'm not. You loved me before you ever even met her." He knew that this couldn't be true. According to everyone else he and Kikyou had been friends since they were kids. "Kikyou, Keade, my brother and I were friends when we were younger."
"Hello I'm Kikyou's sister too."
"Yeah so what your name was never mentioned when they told me that."
"I don't know if you know this but Kikyou hates me."
"Yeah I know but why is that?" Kagome stopped herself. This was becoming more difficult by the minute. It was hard enough trying to manipulate the situation as it was. She didn't need him asking why Kikyou hated her. "She saw us together and wanted to break us up." Kagome answered.
Inuyasha smirked to himself. "Funny that's the way I heard it just the other way around." Kagome was becoming desperate before realized it she had pulled him into a kiss. Moments later he pulled away from her. "Don't ever do that again." He said calmly.
"I wanted too I couldn't help myself."
"I'm sorry you feel that way but I'm married."
"So you keep saying but do you love her? Do you really love her like the way you did before your amnesia." He payed for his drink then he turned to look at her. There was a look of anger on his face. "Feh I don't have to answer to you." He turned to leave. "I knew it you couldn't answer me because you don't love her."
"I'm not the person I used to be. But that doesn't mean that I can't love the same way I did before my accident." And with that he left her sitting there to wonder just what he had meant by all of that.
(Kagome's thoughts)
I didn't think it was going to be this hard to get Inuyasha to turn against Kikyou. I had no idea that she had gotten under his skin like that. More drastic measures have to be taken. I'll have to hit him where it hurts the most. At least I still have Keade to help further my plan.
(End of Kagome's thoughts)
Inuyasha checked himself into a hotel that night. The next day he met with a lawyer. "Are you sure that you want to do this Mr. Tanaka?" He asked.
"Yeah I've given it a lot of thought."
"Fine as long as you're sure."
(Four days later with Kikyou)
It had been four days since she had heard from Inuyasha. She found herself wondering if this was the end of their relationship. To be honest she had always envisioned the day he would pick up; and leave her ever since she had found out about his amnesia. She knew it would be difficult but she had honestly believed that they would get through it. Now the situation had been looking hopeless. Soon she heard a car pull up in front of the house. From the window she caught a glimpse of silver hair and those too familiar dog ears.
"Inuyasha." She spoke as she put her arms around him. He didn't return the hug. She looked at him he had a very sad expression on his face. "What's wrong?" She asked. He handed her a brown envelope. "This is for you."
"What is it?" she started to open it. Her eyes fell instantly on to what the papers read. Her brown eyes filled up with tears as she focused them onto his golden ones. "Kikyou I want a divorce."
