'Someone's thoughts.'
A Hurtful Past:
Chapter 3: Memories Part III
"Huh? Her aura completely vanished." He was baffled. 'That isn't possible. How can she do that? Her scent is so clear now. Her demonic aura was hiding her scent. That is why she is strong. By hiding her scent with her aura, she could be mistaken for other demons.'
"No wonder Kagome said to watch out for Inuyasha. He's too stubborn to compromise with!" She continued to laugh. "You should learn some manners, Inuyasha!"
"Argh!" He growled at the girl. "How do you know Kagome!" He waited for a response, but none came. 'Miroku was right. She does know something about Kagome.' "ANSWER ME!" He was about to strike her with the Tetsuaiga.
"I don't know! I am- um… I have… I was ordered t-to keep an eye on her!" She stumbled with her words. 'Darn it! I did it again! Stupid, stupid me! I should just shut up right now. Kagome will get mad at me once she finds out.'
"How long have you been spying on Kagome!" He yelled at her inpure fury.
"I don't know!" She told him.
"Why were you spying on her?" Sango asked hastily.
"That is none of your business! So leave me alone!" She yelled at them. She turned around and was about to run away.
"You won't escape from me." Inuyasha swung the Tetsuaiga again, but missed. "Damn! She is so fast!"
She laughed again. Then she transported so fast and ended up floating right behind Inuyasha. To his surprise she stuck out her hand behind him, as a blast of energy sent him flying into a tree. She continued to laugh. Everyone was surprised that she was able to do a surprise attack on Inuyasha.
"So you are a demon!" The monk said. He grabs hold of his beads. Preparing to open his wind tunnel. 'For a little girl, she sure is strong.'
"Don't even dare to open your stupid wind tunnel, Miroku!" She smiled and began to laugh at him. "See these beads on my wrist? They contain a large amount of poison that will kill you instantly if you draw it in your wind tunnel. Even if this is so small, it contains a lot of poison" She lied, but didn't seem like she did.
"How, how do you know about my wind tunnel?" He held his hand, the one with the wind tunnel.
"I know everything about you and your friends!" She yelled. "And how all of you are chasing after a demon called Naraku and the Shikon jewel fragments. And it's because he was the one who gave you that wind tunnel to your great grandfather, Miroku. And you want to kill him to lift the curse before it kills you. For Sango, he killed her family and brother. Now, Kohaku is under the control of Naraku." When she mentioned Sango's brother being killed, Sango got furious."And for Inuyasha, it's because Naraku killed his ex-girlfriend and split them apart 50 years ago! Am I right or am I right!" She smiled.
"H-how do you know that!" Sango yelled. 'How does she know everything about us? Is she allies with Naraku? Or is she another incarnation of Naraku? No, I doubt she is. But how then? How does she know everything about us?' That question kept popping up in Sango's mind.
"Someone told me." She said sadly.
It made Sango's blood rage in fury. "How dare you mention my brother like that!" She looked at the ground and back at her. "I'll make you pay for ever saying his name like dirt! Take this you demon!" She ran up to her, "Hiraikotsu!" And threw her weapon aiming towards the girl.
"I AM NOT A DEMON! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO SAY IT!" She shut her eyes tight when she saw the boomerang come flying at her. She did not react to escape. She thought that she would die. When she felt nothing, she reopened her eyes. 'Huh? Where did this barrier come from.' She gasped in surprise. 'It's Hitori's barrier. Then he must be near by.' The Hiraikotsu stopped in front of the barrier. She smiled and pointed at the boomerang. The boomerang was outlined with a pink color and hurled back to Sango at a rampaging speed.
"AHH!" Sango shrieked and ducked down towards the ground, when she saw her own weapon swing back.
"SANGO!" Miroku ran towards her. "Are you alright?" He checked if she got any injuries.
"I am fine Miroku. Don't worry." She smiled at him to reassure him. Then saw the Hiraikotsu come back. "Miroku duck!" She pulled him down towards the ground. It finally stopped when Sango saw her boomerang get stuck in a tree.
"You will pay for this you demon!" He took out his sutras and waited till the barrier lifted.
"That won't work." The girl barely whispered.
"Take this!" Once the barrier went away he threw his sutras at her. His sutras highlighted in a blue color. But something was unexpected. When the sutras were in front of her, she grabbed them and crushed them in her hands. Nothing happened to her.
"I told you I wasn't a demon." She whispered. "Sutras only affect demons! which I AM NOT!"
"Akane! Stop this madness right now!" A man came out from the bushes.
"Huh? Hitori! Yay! You came!" Akane said in surprise. Then ran up to him and hugged him.
Everyone stopped and watched in surprise. And saw that another demon appeared.
"Your father told you not to leave the house grounds. You aren't supposed to be interfering in this world." He was furious with the girl, but didn't seem like it.
"I know, but it's ..:Sniff, sniff:.. not fair…" She started to cry silent tears. "No one gives us a chance." She hugged him tighter.
"You can stop lying now! I knowyour brothermade you say all of that crap. Anyways, you don't need people like this. Look how they are treating you. Do you want this to happen every time you want to make new friends?" He knelt down to her height. "Do you?"
"No." She said in her soft voice. And looked down in descries.
"Where is your brother?" He said while he got up. Hitori looked at the people who were staring at him.
"He is… um… um." She didn't want to say it. 'If I tell him where he is, then Kagome's friends would try to kill him for being with Kagome.'
"Higurashi right?" She nodded. "Alright then. I'll go get him while you are on your way home, Akane. I will handle it from here so don't worry. I won't tell this to your father. So go now before he figures it out himself." He told her seriously.
She nodded. Little pink sparkles of light surrounded her more and more appeared until you couldn't see her face. It spun really fast in a tornado-type thing. The tornado sparkles faded and then she wasn't there anymore.
Hitori looked at the other people. He too had a demonic aura. Everyone was about ready to attack again until he said, "I am sorry… my niece is always worried about small things like this." He said in such a serious tone.
"Huh?" Everyone, but Inuyashasaid.
"Feh. That little girl was just another weak demon. And like all weak demons they always run away when they have the chance to." He said while regaining his composure from the knock on the head he received from the tree. It sounded like he knew that she was going to run away in the beginning.
Oh, on the contraire. She isn't a demon. She was telling the truth. But why aren't you attacking me as well? You all sensed my aura as well. And yet… you treat me differently. How interesting." He said in a matter-of-fact way. He was also curious of their behavior.
"Huh?" Shippo said and ran behind Miroku. "I want a explanation." Shippo pointed at him. "I am so confused! She said that she isn't a demon, but-" Shippo was cut off by Hitori.
"She was speaking the truth! She isn't a demon! And neither am I." He answered his question.
"Then, how is it possible? Isn't true that anyone who has a demonic aura a demon?" Miroku asked.
"That is none of your business. If you want a complete answer, then, it's our family's business. Don't believe everything you hear. Especially from your friends, like Inuyasha."
"How the hell do you know me! Damn, how does everyone know me nowadays!"
"Our business isn't with you or your friends here, Inuyasha. Our only business is with Kagome and only her."
Inuyasha growled as he mentioned Kagome's name. He unsheathed the Tetsuaiga. The tip on his sword was inches away from his face. Weird thing is that he didn't budge an inch. "Tell me, what's your relationship with Kagome? Tell me or you'll die."
"Kill me and there goes your only source of information of Kagome's past. And I doubt you will find anyone else who knows as much about Kagome as I do." Inuyasha growled at him again. "Isn't that what you and your friends are trying to figure out? Why Kagome came late to this era and lied to her mother." He chuckled.
He murmured something of him being a fucking bastard.
Hitori walked towards him to face him. "We don't want to harm Kagome. But we will if you or anyone else gets in our way."
"You bastard!" Inuyasha swung the tetsuaiga at him, but he dodged it. "You will have to go through me first if you are going any where near Kagome!" 'I will protect her from any harm no matter what. Even if it means I have to die protecting her. And it is all because I love her. I just realized that, I truly love her.'
"Brave words for a half demon!" He empathized. Then walked close to him and whispered for no one else to hear. "If you love Kagome, don't love her. If she feels the same way then she might be killed or she might have to kill you."
"This has nothing to do with you knowing her. Tell me, how you know her?"
"She has something of ours. She needs to give it back." Blue sparkles surrounded him, and a tornado surrounded him, and then faded. Soon he too, disappeared.
"Hey Inuyasha. What did he say to you?" Shippo asked
"Nothing but shit that I didn't need to know."
"What did he say.. Family business?… hmmm… Where have I heard that before?" Sango asked.
"Wasn't it from that guy who said it yesterday too." Shippo said on Miroku's shoulder.
Miroku started to approach Sango. "Sango…. You seem sad before. Did that girl say something to upset you?" Shippo jumped off his shoulder, knowing what would come.
"Huh? I am fine Miroku. It just, it worries me that, that girl knows everything about us. She even knows about Kohaku." Sadness returned to her. Then she sat on the ground and sighed.
"It's alright Sango. But I wonder how she knows everything about us? But cheer up… we'll find out soon." He joined her and sat next to her.
"Yea. You're rig-" She didn't finish her sentence because she felt a hand over her butt. Then she slapped him as hard as she could. "WOULD YOU STOP BEING A PERVERT FOR ONCE MIROKU! AND HAVE A SERIOUSCONVERSATIONFOR ONCE!" Then she shoved him to make him kiss the ground.
"You idiot..." Shippo said to him. Then he started to jump on his back.
"Ow! Sango don't be so rash!" Miroku thought that was Sango stomping on him. Sango grabbed her Hiraikotsu and was about to clobber him.
"Would you guys stop being so…" Inuyasha said to them as he saw how Sango was about to kill Miroku.
"So what? Immature!" Inuyasha nodded. "Well I am so sorry for being immature!" Sango said sarcastically. "But tell him to stop being perverted!" She pointed to the kissing-ground monk.
"I ain't your dad! Why don't you tell him yourself." Inuyasha pointed out.
"Hmph!" She stomped away.
"Come on we have to go back. Kagome might be awake already." Inuyasha stopped in his tracks. 'I sense someone in the hut, but who? Who is with Kagome?' He jumped from tree to tree to get to the hut faster. He yelled back to the rest of the group. "Would you guys hurry up with the pace back there!"
"Sorry Inuyasha we are only human! We don't run as fast as you do! But what is with all the rush back to the hut?" Miroku yelled back at him.
"Just shut up, Miroku. And hurry up! I won't wait forever you know!" Inuyasha was standing crossed arm on a branch of a tree. 'Kagome I hope you're ok.'
What Inuyasha and the rest of the group didn't know, was that someone was watching them from a distance. A man was on another tree branch farther down the forest. As blind as Inuyasha was, he didn't see anyone there. "Inuyasha. So this is the person who is causing all the problems in our plans. Finally, I have gotten to meet you. As a gift of gratitude, this should keep you guys preoccupied for a while. Hope you all enjoy it." The mysterious man gave an evil smirked.
He clenched his fists, while they glowed blue. When he reopened them a small blue diamond gem was formed. He placed it on the trees bark and punched the gem along with the tree. Pretty hard since it made a dent in tree. Then the gem started to glow in its bluish glow.
"That should hold you off for a while." He began to laugh softly. Then the man faded away.
The clouds were clear, not a single cloud in sight. Well that is, until a sudden huge purple cloud covered the entire sky.
"Damn!" Inuyasha also saw the sky change into its malevolent color.
The rest of the group was coming up the road and they too notice the change in the clouds. "Inuyasha… those are-" Miroku was cut off.
"Yea, I know!" He unsheathed the Tetsuaiga and was prepared to kill the demons one by one. "Ha! Prepare to fight you guys! There are thousands of them out there… just waiting to come out."
"I'll use my wind tunnel!" Miroku was prepared to suck all the demons in his wind tunnel.
In less than 10 seconds hundreds of demons came pouring out of the clouds. They came out and started attacking everything in sight.
"Ha! Lets see if they can handle my Wind Scar!" The attack went straight for the demons. It hit all that were coming out of the clouds. "Yup! Now… what the hell!" After he destroyed all of those demons, more still came pouring out of the sky. "Damn. Take this again! Wind Scar!" Demon's bodies were blown to pieces, when the Wind Scar came intact with the demon's bodies. It just caused more demons came out of the clouds overhead. The cloud was replacing the dead discarded demons.
"Inuyasha! Move out of the way, I am opening my wind tunnel!" Many demons were being sucked into his Wind Tunnel.
Inuyasha jumped out of the way when Miroku opened his wind tunnel. Then he went to helped Sango and Kirara with the slithering demons that were on the ground. Kirara was biting off parts of demon bodies with her fangs. Killing them as fast as she could.
"Hiraikotsu!" She sliced the demons in half with her weapon. After a few minutes she took a glance at Miroku, realizing, 'Miroku seems like he is struggling to stand up.'
After a couple more minutes Miroku collapsed on the ground, breathing heavily. "I am… sorry. I couldn't… hold… on any… anymore."
She gasped in horror. "Miroku! Miroku WATCH OUT!" Demons were flying straight towards him. But Miroku couldn't move, he was barley conscious.
Lucky, Kirara got him in time before he was killed. Kirara brought him next to a tree where he would rest.
"…Thank you Kirara…" He still was breathing heavily. He rests his head on the tree and closed his eyes, but he is not dead.
"Miroku's safe." She sighed. "Inuyasha Miroku is-"
"Yeah, I know." He was slashing up more demons. "Damn, there are so many of them!" The more the demons that are eliminated the more the same amount came back. 'Where are all this demons coming from? There has to be some kinda core to it. But where would it be? In the clouds, maybe?' He tried that theory. He jumped up and slashed up any demons that got in his way. He killed the demons that he was jumping on to get to the top.
"Inuyasha where are you going!" Sango asked. But didn't get a response since he was long gone before her words reached him. "He's gone."
"Sango watch out!" Shippo yelled and pointed to the rampaging demons in front of her.
"Hiraikotsu!" She slashed through the demons. "Shippo help me with your fox fire!"
"Huh! M-Me!" Shippo said confusingly.
"Yes. Use your foxfire and send its energy on my Hiraikotsu. The demons will get killed faster that way." She instructed.
"O-Ok! Fox Fire!" Shippo's foxfire energy went to Sango's weapon, and glowed with a green fire glow.
"Take this you Demons! Hiraikotsu!" Her weapon went flying and slashed tons of the demons. Shippo and Sango were happy. But their celebration ended shortly as more demons came back. Then they started to attack once again.
Inuyasha found it unusual to see demons reappear over, and over just like that. Finally, he reached the center of the cloud. The weird thing is that the cloud was solid. 'I thought I would fall straight down if I stepped on a cloud.' He looked around the cloud to find something that the demons were coming out of. All he saw was demons flying straight out of the cloud. They didn't even notice him. He went the opposite way the demons were going.
"Huh?" Was all he said, as he saw where the demons were coming from. It was from a weird black hole! The black hole looked like Miroku's wind tunnel, but only way, way bigger and it was the opposite of the wind tunnel. "Damn! So where are the demons coming out of? Where does this hole lead to?" He got closer and touched to black hole. In that instant the hole blew him away! That answered his curiosity. He flew out of the cloud like the rest of the demons did.
"Look there's Inuyasha." Shippo noticed him fly out of the cloud. When came to a landing on his face, Shippo asked him, "Are you ok?"
"ARGH! Damn that hurt! Do you think I am ok! You little runt!" His face was full of dirt. Just like when he gets his sits by Kagome. "Damn it!"
"Where did you go Inuyasha?" Sango asked as she was attacking more demons.
"I went into the cloud, up there. The demons were coming out of a black hole from the cloud. But that means that the core isn't in the cloud. So where could it be?" He looked around and noticed that a demon was heading for the unconscious Miroku. "Don't even think about killing anyone today!" He got up quickly and swung the tetsuaiga. He sighed in relief. 'Miroku's safe.' He wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Inuyasha! What is a core?" Sango asked.
"It's where a certain point or place of comand for demons in this case." Inuyasha sounded all technical.
"Oh, so where do you think the core is then?"Sango asked again.
"I don't know. Usually there are just a couple hundred demons, attacking people in a regular manner. But in this case someone is summoning all of these demons. Or at least they put a spell of some sort. To make them appear like this." Inuyasha explained. Then he saw a small glimpse of a jewel in a tree. 'Is that a shard of the sacred jewel? No I doubt it. Cuz if it was then the demons would be after it. Then what could it be?' He jumped to the tree's branch and stared at the small gem embedded in the tree. 'This gem has a demonic aura. Someone embedded this in here. Maybe this is how the demons are appearing from the cloud?' He tried to remove the gem, but once he was close to it, it burned Inuyasha's hand completely. 'Damn! It's a purification spell.'
"Inuyasha Watch out!" Sango yelled as the demons changed direction to Inuyasha.
"Huh? So that's what you're trying to hide. That gem is the reason the demons are coming out!" He pulled out the Tetsuaiga and slashed each demons heads off. "Sango, go and destroy the gem embedded in that tree!" He pointed to the tree.
"What!" Sango yelled. Not understanding why to attack a tree.
"Just do it! I'll watch over Miroku! So go before more demons come out!" Inuyasha jumped down and was standing in front of Miroku. A demon came out of surprise and bit its fangs into Inuyasha left arm. "Damn you!" He held his left arm and then slashed the demon's head off with his claws.
"Ok." Sango jumped up on the branch and saw the gem. 'Why couldn't Inuyasha take the gem out?'
'I couldn't take it out because I am half demon. That spell over it is just like the one in my tetsuaiga, but only stronger. Like Sesshoumaru, he couldn't touch my sword because he is demon. But I still have part of a demons blood in me and that spell is stronger, so only humans can touch it. And Sango is human, so she won't have a problem destroying the gem.' He explained his theory to himself.
Demons were charging at Sango in a furious speed. Sango got out her sword and stabbed the center of the gem without a problem. The gem broke in half and fell to the ground. The gem lost its glow. The demons and the dead corpses of the demons dissolved into thin air. The sky became clear once again. Sango grabbed the 2 halves of the gem and stared at it.
"Good work Sango... Ah! Hell this hurts." Inuyasha's arm was in pain once again. "Damn it all!"
"Inuyasha we should get you back to the hut. Your arm is badly wounded. And Miroku…" She walked to him. He was shivering. Sango felt his forehead. "Miroku has a fever." She said in a sad tone. "Here. It's the gem that was in tree. I think you would want it for something." She looked at him.
"Feh! This wound will heal in no time. But for Miroku… we better get him back to the hut fast… or his fever will get only worse." Inuyasha sighed and grabbed the gem. 'Kagome… I hope your ok. I sensed someone in the hut. But… Who? But this gem will help me figure out something at least.'
They rushed to the hut as fast as they could. On the way back, Miroku was resting on Kirara's back for the rest of the trip.
$$$$$$$ Right after Yoji entered the hut.$$$$$$$
Kagome was alone in the hut, by herself. Her room was a kinda big one, but very scary to be in especially at night. Good thing it's morning. Everyone got their own room. (No Duh they would!) Kagome just sat there watching the door. She sensed someone coming. 'It's Yoji, but he can't come here. Inuyasha might find him and kill him. Then how will I explain it!' Kagome got up and walked towards the door. She was about to open the door, but someone came in.
"Hi." Yoji sounded so happy. Kagome got scared. It made her scream. "Shh. Not so loud." He said and placed a finger on her lips to hush her. It made her blush.
'What is he doing?' Kagome's heart skipped a beat when Yoji's face was so close to hers it made her blush even more. "What are you doing here?" She asked and hugged him out of joy. "Won't you get in trouble." She whispered in his ear.
He put his arms around her waist and returned the hug. "Yea, but that didn't stop me. Now did it?" He broke away from the hug.
"I um.. also sensed your sister's presence too. Where is she?" She looked behind him to see if she was hiding. As she thought she wasn't there. 'You better have not left her alone!' Her facial expression was full of concern and worries.
"Well… um… that's the funny thing." He started to laugh nervously. "You're going to laugh when I tell you this." Kagome stared at him angrily. "You see, she wanted to be the distraction. And so... we mad the decision of-"
"WHAT!" Kagome cut him off. "Why did you do that!"
"Kagome calm down. I needed to give u this." He pulled out the letter from his jacket pocket. It was another letter like the other one.
"You know she could get hurt! You know how Inuyasha is… he wouldn't stop just because she is a little kid. He could really kill her!" She sighed. "Aghhhh. You're such a heartless person." She pointed at him. "Why don't you ever think of others other than yourself!" She yelled at him and turned around so her back faced him.
"Hey, she's fine. She told me to tell you that she said hi and that if you would come to the house again." He smiled at her. He poked the letter at her back.
"I hope she is." She grabbed the letter and turned away from him again. "But if she is hurt I'll never speak to you."
"Whatever! Just open the stupid letter already." He was getting frustrated. "You know you only have 15 more days left right?" Changing the subject. "So when are you to start looking for him? It is past noon, ya know?"
"Yea I know. I don't know when to start looking for him. How am I supposed to find him anyway! The only thing I know it that he's the guardian of the moon. And that he is located beyond the moon's refection. Like I am supposed to know what's means? I am not good with riddles!" She opened the letter gently. The letter outlined glowed with a blue color.
Dear Kagome,
I know it's hard for you. Especially that you have such a
heavy burden upon you. To warn you in time, you must start your
training. It will help you much more than you think. It will help
you when you are going to summon the 2 guardians from eternal
sleep. Around midnight is the best time. Shinome will help you
more in your training when you find him. But Aogi is the one you
must find first. I know that you can find them. You are different from
the others who tried to help us. Even though I am dead I can still
send messages from here to guide you.

"Hey, um… Yoji…" Kagome said in a pleading voice. She turned around to face him.
"Yeah, what do you want?" He knew that she was asking for something.
"You know I am really sorry for yelling at you, right?" She gave him a pleading smile.
"Kagome I know when you want something. Your voice tells it all. Just tell me and I might say yes." He teased her.
"Oh, wow, that helps me!" She yelled sarcastically.
"Just tell me already! This is getting old Kagome."
"Well… um… Can you…" She was nervous and stumbled with her words.
"Can I what? I know you want me to do something. I know you Kagome." He smiled at her. It gave her more confidence. Then he tickled her stomach, making her laugh.
"Ok… ok…" He stopped tickling her. She regained her composer. "Can you… um… help me with the training I need. Li said I need to start training and learn some of the spirit thingamajigs before I find Aogi." She said in a begging tone. "Pleeaassee." She begged him.
"I don't know…" He was messing with her again. "Maybe."
"What! Oh, come on!" She held his hand and pleaded again. "Pleeaassee!" She smiled at him.
"I don't know. I have a lot of things to do at the house and all." He was still smirking.
"You always helped me before!" She pouted and gave him the puppy eyes. Who could resist that?
"Yeah, but now it's different. I have a lot of work to do. You know how my dad is!" Yoji lied.
"Oh yeah. What work would you possibly do in the middle of the night!" She said in a matter-of-fact way.
"It's at midnight?" He said surprisingly. "Dang, gurl you I can't help you there."
"Why! You never had a problem before when I asked you to tutor me when I was failing all my classes!"
"Oh, I don't know! I have something to do! Something called sleeping! Have you ever heard of that?" He spat back.
"Please! Yoji.. I'll do anything. Please." She was almost crying, for some odd reason.
"Anything?" That smirk didn't leave his face.
"Yoji! You know what I mean. You're such a meany." She pretended to crying. She put her hands over her face. It made him wide eyed and finally made his decision.
"Fine, whatever." He looked away.
"Huh? Really? You would help me!" She head shot up. He nodded. Then she started to jump around like a little 5-year-old child would. She hugged him again. "Thank you!"
"ight ight, just calm down." He chuckled.
"I am not yelling! I am just happy that you will help me." She looked up into his eyes. She noticed how he was averting hers. Then she held his hand with hers. It made him look at her. She smiled back and whispered, "I am so happy. Thank you so much. And also for the CD I love the songs on it. it got fresh azimiz, grillz, turn it up, fireman. all of them songs, i love them."
"Kagome I-" He was cut off when someone appeared. He pushed Kagome behind him.
Blue sparkles appeared. Soon a man appeared in the middle of it. "Yoji, I thought I would find you here." A familiar voice said. He looked at him then to Kagome, who was poking her head out to see who came. She was looking from behind Yoji.
"It's Hitori." She said in a low whisper.
"Good afternoon Kagome. How are you?" Hitori sounded so calm when he arrived.
"Um… Hi Hitori. I am fine, thank you." She smiled back at him and waved. She stepped from behind and smiled again.
"Hitori what the hell are you doing here!" He shouted rudely. "Aren't you suppose to be home?" He pointed outside. Yoji was surprised that he came in such a quick time. 'That means Akane went home. Damn it, Kagome's friends should be coming soon. I really needed to talk to her...' Yoji's thoughts were interrupted when Hitori spoke again.
"You know you shouldn't be interfering in this time. You know what happens when you interfere too much? Don't you?" Hitori glared at him.
Yoji shook his head. "No." He whispered.
Hitori sighed and shook his head in disappointment. "We must go now, Kagome. I leftyour friends preoccupied for a while. So we have some time to leave. Kagome I apologies if any of your friends come back injured." He bowed his head in apology.
"Huh? It's ok. I understand why anyway." She smiled at him.
"Yoji come on." Yoji didn't move an inch. "You don't want Kagome's friends to find out about us, do you?" Yoji shook his head. "Please, Kagome come by the house sometime soon. It would be nice for you to see the rest of the family again."
"Um… sure. I'll come by soon. Oh, wait! Don't you guys want something to eat before you leave?" She was smiling kindly at them. "Please. It's the least I could do, after all you guys have done for me."
"Um… I don't think that-" Hitori was cut off, unable to speak. His mouth moved but no words came out. As if his voice was paralyzed. Like someone was crushing his throat.
"Sure, we'd love to." Yoji replaced Hitori's words.
"Really?" Yoji nodded to reassure her. "Ok. I'll go get some food for us to eat." She soon left the room in joy.
After Kagome left, Yoji pulled Hitori next to him, by pulling his collar. "You should really know when to shut up, Hitori! A couple of minutes won't hurt." Yoji yelled at the muted man. Then he relaxed his fist and opened it. Also releasing Hitori's voice.
"You shouldn't do that to my voice." He squeaked. "At least warn me before you do that too!" He was checking his throat to make sure that Yoji didn't damage it. "But shouldn't we go home. Your sister is waiting for you, you know. She almost got killed and you don't want to see her!" He protested. "You're such a heartless person Yoji."
"Yea I know. Man, everyone is saying that today. But still, it is only breakfast, well lunch. It wouldn't hurt. And anyway, I haven't eatin' in a while." His stomach started to growl. "I am starving!" A huge smile ran across his face. Within seconds his expression changed. His face was full of concern. "You know I am going to help her train. If she is the one like Li said, then she needs to prepare herself." He stared at the ground.
"You know you can't do that! You will be interfering too much." Hitori explained. He tried to protest against Yoji's decision.
"You don't understand Hitori! I love her. And I want to help her in anyway I can." He told him.
Hitori chuckled. "Fine." Yoji was surprised to here that from Hitori. "If you want to help, you can. Just make sure that you put up a barrier to stop the interfering" He pointed out. "But you know that Kagome's friends will have to know the truth one day. But the real question is what do you think they will do if they find out the truth? They are already starting to get suspicious about Kagome and what she has been doing."
$$$$$$$Meanwhile: Kagome getting the food. $$$$$$$
Kagome found some food in the main room of the hut. She took what was left in the pot and poured it into 3 bowls. 'I hope they don't get mad if I take most of the food.' She started to laugh to herself. She could just imagine everyone's expression when they find out that there is barley any more food left. She got some sodas and headed for her room.
She reached the door and stood there for a while. And overheard Hitori and Yoji's conversation. She heard Hitori speak, "But you know that Kagome's friends will have to know the truth one day. But the real question is what do you think they will do if they find out the truth? They are already starting to get suspicious about Kagome and what she has been doing"
'That's right. What will they do if they find out? They will probably hate me for life. Hate me for lying. And for hurting them! They can't find out... not yet. They have to trust me more first.' That was all that she thought about. She didn't hear anything else so that was her cue to stop listening and get inside. "Sorry that I took so long. I had to find drinks." She passed their bowls of food and soda to them. They all sat down and started to eat. "I hope you guys like it." She smiled at them.
They all sat down and grabbed their bowls. In seconds their mouths werefilled with food. "It's good." Hitori mumbled with his mouth full of noodles. He couldn't stop stuffing his mouth with more food, the same with Yoji. "Thank you. ..:Slurp:.. So much.It wasdelicious." He complemented. They were eating so fast like they never ate before. Their bowls were completely empty in less than a minute.
"Wow." She said in amazement. "You guys sure were hungry." Kagome laughed. Looking down at her bowl, which she barely started on. What else was there to do other than laugh.
"Oh. It's because we only have 2 meals a day. Breakfast and dinner." Yoji told her.
"You don't eat Lunch!" She was surprised that they didn't eat lunch. "It's like an important meal."
"No. We haven't eaten lunch for, um.. was it 4 years?" Yoji asked Hitori. Then he nodded. "Well when we are hungry we sometimes sneak into the kitchen and take some food. That is, if we're hungry. But usually we can't even take food from the kitchen. Or we would get into trouble."
"Oh. Well glad you guys ate something them." Kagome smiled softly at them.
"I am sorry Kagome, we could only stay for a couple more minutes." Hitori apologized.
"Oh, it's ok. My friends are coming soon. So for now it's best that they don't know who you guys are just yet."
"Yea, and again I am truly sorry about what happened the other day. I don't want to repeat that incident again." Hitori's facial expression changed to a sad and worried look in his eyes. He knew that if Hiei (the name really throws you off. ) were to find out what happened today he would go CRAZY and hurt his niece and nephew again.
"It's ok. I am fine anyway. The wounds don't hurt as much as they did before." She sighed in sadness. "I mean, I know he didn't mean it." 'But it still worries me that he has such a huge grudge against my father.' She sighed again.
(Flashback)
"YOU STUPID BITCH!" Hiei yelled at her. Then slapped her face over and over, so many time that she soon fell to the ground. "DID YOU HEAR THAT!" He threw his glass of wine at her. ..:Crash:.. Kagome ducked her head when she saw him throw the glass at her. The glass hit the wall, missing her. The glass shattered into little shard alongside the wall as so did the wine. "YOUR FATHER BETRAYED US ALL! He left his family for your fucking mother! What kinda person is your father! Marrying someone out of our family! THAT IS NOT ALLOWED! IT WAS NEVER ALLOWED!" He began to breathe heavily. He started to chuckle, "And look what was his fate…… IT WAS DEATH! YOUR MOTHER WAS THE CAUSE OF HIS DEATH! SHE WAS THE ONE WHO KILLED HIM!" His voice calmed. His heavily breathing turned to gasps.
Kagome looked up when she heard nothing. Tears were streaming down her face. She was physically wounded by one of her own family members. Her right arm was bleeding and her body was badly bruise. "That's not true." She whimpered.
"What did you say!" He pushed her head down with his foot. "Did I hear something out of you?"
Kagome yelled out in pain. She couldn't stop crying. She had bruises all over face. Her arms had cuts and her clothes filled with her blood. She could barely stand up. 'Inuyasha! Please help me!' But, she knew that he wouldn't come for her. He didn't even know.
"Nothing! I thought I heard something from you, bitch!" He began to laugh, while his foot was on top of her head, pushing her down towards the floor. "I was waiting to tell you this for a long time." He chuckled evilly. "Remember your 5th Birthday? The traditional ceremony! Remember! You know why all those people tried to kill you!" He gave her a moment to think it over, until he heard a gasp of surprise from her. "That's right. They did that because of your father! Their hatred for him raged inside them! HE BETRAYED US ALL! And the punishment was passed down to you! I enjoyed seeing your father looking at you with sorrow. But my STUPID son had to save you!" He got angry again and threw everything off his desk. Some of the objects thrown hit Kagome. He pushed the table and hit Kagome. It pushed her farther, and farther away from him. His whole room was messed up. Curtains ripped and even walls with dents. Papers and books scattered everywhere.
She tried to stand up. But he was always one step ahead of her. He was standing right in front of her. "But…… we're family… and this is… the first… time I ever saw you!" It hurt her when she tried to speak. She started to cough out blood. All the wounds hurt her so much and made her vision go blurry. He grabbed her by the throat. "AHHH!" She screamed in pain. He was crushing her throat. She tried to remove his hands off her throat. But his grasp on her was too strong .
"Just because we're family! Ha, I don't care if we're family or not! But since we are I can to do this!" He pulled her closer by her throat. Then threw her against the wall. He threw her where the broken shards of the glass laid. Knocking her unconscious. He walked closer to her and whispered to her, "You share the same fate as all of us. You don't disserve any better then the rest." He calmed down and yelled once more, "HITORI! HITORI COME HERE RIGHT NOW!"
In minutes the door opened and someone appeared. The man didn't seem mind the mess in the room, because to him it was always like that. "Yes. What is it Hiei?" He saw the body on the ground. Then looked back at him.
"Take this girl out of my room and out of my HOUSE! Immediately!" Hitori stared at him then at the girl, again. Hiei waited for him to do something. "What the hell are you waiting for! Get her out of here! NOW!" Hitori walked up to the unconscious girl that was lying on the floor. He picked her up gently and took her out of the room.
(End of Flashback)
Kagome held her right arm. Remembering the pain of a couple of days ago. 'Hiei seemed so nice at first. Well at the dinner he acted nice. I never thought that he would hurt me like that.' Once she got out of her thoughts, she remembered that Hitori and Yoji were still with her. "Oh, you guys better go. I don't want you to get into trouble because of me." She looked depressed. "I don't want Hiei to punish you, because you guys are here with me." She said it like everything was her fault.
