Inuyasha looked up to see a beautiful hut forming from now where along with a garden and hot spring and a lot of other things. Basically it was like a lost paradise. As they saw the last bit of the sun set the place finished forming.
"Wow so this is Lady Kaede's hut." Kagome said.
"I guess it is" Inuyasha agreed
"It's beautiful"
"Thank You." Lady Kaede said
Inuyasha and Kagome turned around to an old woman whose age showed her wisdom. This must be Lady Kaede they both thought.
"So young lads, what bring ye here?" Lady Kaede
Inuyasha was the first one to speak up. "We want the truth."
"Ah. The truth ye ask?"
"Yes maim." Kagome said
"Well you two must be special."
"And why do you say that?" Kagome said
"Why. Because everyone that comes to me wants either the truth or healing. And hardly any people actually made it."
"And why is that?" Inuyasha asked
"Because no one trusted themselves or their partners enough to make it."
"Well we're not just anyone," Kagome said.
"I can see that."
Lady Kaede signaled them to come in the hut. They went there, and the inside was as pretty as the outside. After she led them inside she started speaking again.
"Are any of ye hungry? I made some food."
Inuyasha said no. But after his stomach growled he reconsidered. Kagome had some Oden and Inuyasha had some Ramen and Lady Kaede had some other food.
How did she know that this is me and Inuyasha's favorite food? Maybe it's just a coincidence. But I the strange feeling that it's not. Kagome thought.
Inuyasha was finally the one to break the silence.
"Lady Kaede, the food was good," he said.
"Thank you," she replied to him.
"He's right it was good. But how did you know to make this," Kagome said.
"Make what?" Lady Kaede asked.
"The food. It's me and Inuyasha's favorites."
"Just a feeling."
"Oh"
When they finished eating they were led to a room. The room looked spiritual. They saw purifying salt around the room and they also saw holy water in a clear container. Lady Kaede told them to sit down on the floor in front of her. As soon as they sat down they felt a sudden rush of peacefulness.
"O.k. So let's get started. First-"
"How do you know what we want to know?" Inuyasha asked
"Well that's my little secret."
"Inuyasha stop asking questions so that we can find out what really happened," Kagome said
"Fine," Inuyasha replied
Inuyasha and Kagome stopped talking and looked at Lady Kaede.
"O.k. Let's continue. First turn towards each other and close your eyes, then I need you to clear your minds of all negative thoughts. (Inuyasha and Kagome did as they were told.) Then I need you to hold each other hands. (This part made them both blush but they did it anyways) Now just be calm and let your mind go the events of that day. I am going to put my hand on your foreheads and when I do then each of you will see what the other one saw. Lady Kaede then put her hand on each of their heads to start the transaction.
In Kagome's mind (what Inuyasha saw)
(Not to far from the school)
"Oops... Inuyasha. I left my book bag on the bench in the schoolyard. I'll be right back." Kagome said
"O.K. Hurry back." Inuyasha replied
"Inuyasha. I've been looking for you."
"Who are you?"
Kagome saw a girl with short fiery-red hair that came up to her cheeks. She had eyes the color of her hair. She was shorter than Kagome. The girl had tanned skin and was a little pudgy. She looked nothing like Kikyo.
"Don't you remember?"
"No. I've never seen you before."
"Are you sure." the girl said walking towards Inuyasha seductively
"Positive. Now who are you and what the hell do you want with me."
"Just a kiss."
"Are you stupid I have a-" Before Inuyasha could finish the girl pushed him against the tree and pressed her lips against his forcefully.
Then Inuyasha pushed the girl on the floor
That's probably when he smelt my tears.
Inuyasha started running to where Kagome was He reached the mountains. She saw the look of confusion on his face. Then he noticed Kouga was there too. When Inuyasha found Kagome she was in Kouga's arms crying.
He looked so hurt. And I look so cold and heartless when he was talking to me. I didn't even realize that my eyes changed colors. But I was mad. Who wouldn't be? But I saw Kikyo. How could that be?
Meanwhile
In Inuyasha's mind (what Kagome saw)
(Not to far from the school)
"Oops... Inuyasha. I left my book bag on the bench in the schoolyard. I'll be right back." Kagome said
Kagome went into the schoolyard and got her book bag. She came out of the school and ran back to where she left Inuyasha. When she arrived she saw Kikyo and Inuyasha kissing on the tree.
What the hell I never kissed Kikyo. No wonder she was pissed she thought I was lying. It doesn't make any sense.
Kagome started to leave. She headed towards the mountain. While she was heading there she started to cry While she was running and crying at the same time she bumped into someone.
"Sorry." she said without looking up.
"It's O.k. What's wrong Kagome? Why are you crying? Who made you cry?" the person realized
Kagome thought as she looked up at the person. "Kouga."
"Yes it's me. Now who caused you all of the pain that you feel right now? Tell me so that I can crush them."
"That's alright Kouga, nothings wrong."
"Well if nothings wrong then why are you crying."
"It's the wind." she lied
"Alright Kagome. You don't have to tell me, just know that I am here." Kouga said as he embraced Kagome
Kagome let him hold her as she cried.
I hate seeing her in his arms. She must have been really hurt. I hate when she's hurt.
Inuyasha came and asked to speak to Kagome. Kouga looked at Kagome for approval and she shook her head yes. Her eyes turned a steely-grey.
Kagome and Inuyasha both came out of the transaction at the same time.
"I'm so sorry Kagome. I guess I did kiss Kikyo. Maybe I didn't realize it and saw something else." Inuyasha said
"What are you talking about? The person you kissed looked nothing like her. There's no way you could have kissed her. Maybe I was blinded by jealousy." Kagome said
"No but you saw Kikyo"
"And you saw someone totally different"
"What how is that possible"
"Maybe I can explain" Lady Kaede said
"Huh. You can?" Kagome said
"How?" Inuyasha asked
"Listen. This girl, Kikyo, I sensed that she is a very strong miko. She covered up her scent and appearance with a cloaking spell."
"But that doesn't explain how I saw Kikyo and Inuyasha saw someone else." Kagome said
"Yeah. How?" Inuyasha agreed
"The girl Kikyo used a stronger and different cloaking spell than the one that is usually used. The cloaking spell that she used is more specific. It only hides her scent and changes her image to the people that she wants it to be changed to. So that would explain why Kagome saw Kikyo and you saw another person." Kaede said
"I didn't know that Kikyo was capable of that," Inuyasha said
"Me either. I knew that she was a strong miko; but not that strong," Kagome said.
"Come to think of it. That's probably how she got that rosary." Inuyasha said.
"No. That would be me. She came here about a month ago and asked me to make one for her." Lady Kaede said
"Why would you do that?" Inuyasha asked
"I guess that her intentions were hidden, even from me." Lady Kaede replied
"Well let's not think about it right now and enjoy the rest of our stay at Lady Kaede's." Kagome said
"Yeah, at least we know what really happened and we can make amends and go back to how we were. And plus; this place is beautiful, so let's enjoy it while it lasts." Inuyasha said
"Your right; we should."
"There is a hot spring out back and some herbs that you can put in it. And I have some towels by it that ye are free to use if ye want." Lady Kaede suggested
"Thanks Lady Kaede. We will." Kagome said
"Thanks." Inuyasha said
"Ye are both welcome." Lady Kaede replied
After she left them Kagome got up and started walking away.
"Hey. Where are you going?" Inuyasha asked
"To the hot spring."
"You can't."
"Why not?"
"Because I was just about to go."
"And that's my problem because."
"Because we can't both go in there."
"And why is that."
"Umm... because. Umm."
"See you don't have a reason."
"Well it's just that."
"What. Is it awkward?"
"Yeah."
"Well then get over it."
"Humph. I'd rather mot."
"What are you scared."
"Fey. No"
"Then prove it."
"I will."
"Good."
It's not that I don't want to. It's just the thought of her naked body so close to my hormones go crazy. Inuyasha thought
Kagome and Inuyasha went to where the hot spring was. Kagome was about to change when she realized that Inuyasha was looking at her.
"Inuyasha can you turn around so that I can get into the hot spring?" Kagome asked.
This called Inuyasha to blush a deep red. He mumbled a sorry before he turned around
A couple seconds later he heard a splash in the water.
"Inuyasha you can turn around now." Kagome said
Inuyasha turned around to see his girlfriend in the hot spring with the steam hiding her body.
He blushed again. Kagome turned around so that he could change out of his close and get in. She swam over to the other side of the hot spring. Inuyasha got in and swan over to where she was. She looked like she was thinking deeply about something so he swam right next to her. Kagome realized that he was next to her so she opened up her eyes.
"Inuyasha."
"Yeah. What are you thinking about?"
"Us."
"Oh. So what about us are you thinking about."
"Just where we are."
"That is something to think about, isn't it?"
"Yeah."
"So have you come up with a solution?"
"Yes I did."
"And what is that?"
"It's over"
Well how do you feel about that? That is the end of that chap. And story. They broke up. Don't ask why. But they did because I'm ending the story. And I'm ending the story because I don't feel like continuing. So I hope that you enjoyed it.
Let me stop joking. I'm not ending the story or the chapter, this is what really happened.
After Lady Kaede left Inuyasha and Kagome started to talk about what happened.
"So where does this leave us?" Kagome asked
"Right back where we started I guess." Inuyasha replied
"Yeah, I guess it does."
"At least we know the truth."
"Yeah, Kikyo is a bigger problem than before."
"When is she going to leave us alone?"
"When we're not together anymore."
"Well then we're just not going to give her what she wants."
"I'm sure that she could have any other guy that she wants. But why is she stuck on you?"
"Well before I met you; Kikyo and I were going out for about three years, since the seventh grade. She told me that she loved me. I guess I loved her at some point to, but she wouldn't accept me for who I was. She always wanted me to change. For a while I told myself that I would change. But then I decided that if she wasn't going to accept me for who I was then she really didn't love me at all. And on top of that she cheated on me with Naraku. So I broke up with her and I guess that she never really got over it."
"So she feels that if she can't have you then no one can."
"I guess so."
"She's a bigger problem than I imagined Inuyasha."
"She is, isn't she?"
"Yes."
"So what are we going to do about it?"
"Were going to play along for now."
"And how are we going to do that?"
"Easy. Let's act like we are still pissed at each other."
"Keep talking."
"The stunt that she pulled was supposed to break us up so we act like we are broken up."
"And what is that going to accomplish?"
"She'll believe that we are over and let her guard down."
"And when she does what we are going to do?"
"We'll get her back."
"And how are we going to do that?"
"You'll find out soon enough."
"Well let's get of off that subject and start a new one. Why does Kikyo despise you so much?"
"Because we are sisters."
"YOU ARE WHAT."
"I said we are sisters."
"HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE? Kikyo never told me that she had a sister."
"Well I guess that she didn't tell you a lot."
"You didn't even tell me that you were sisters. And if you two are sisters why don't you like each other."
"Why don't you like Sesshomaru?"
"That's not fair. I asked you first."
"Well first is the worst and second is the best. What's your point?"
"My point I that you should have told me."
"Inuyasha. We've only known each other for about a month. And we've been going out for what? About two to three weeks. So do you really think that is something that I would tell you? And plus, you never asked."
"I would think that with something that important I wouldn't have to ask you."
"Well it wouldn't take a rocket scientist to realize that we're related. I mean I think that looks give us away."
"I thought that it was just a coincidence."
"Is anything really a coincidence nowadays?"
"I guess not. But I would never think that you and Kikyo were related."
"Let's see. Fact 1: we're both are miko's. Fact 2: If you didn't think that we were sisters then you should at least see that we are related. I mean, it's called common sense."
"Well excuse me for not knowing everything."
"Humph."
"Kagome?"
"Yes."
"You still never told me why you and her don't like each other. And why was she here and you weren't?"
"I'll tell you but only if you tell me why you and Sesshomaru don't like each other."
"Fine I will."
"Well it all begun when"
(Flashback) When Kagome and Kikyo were about eight years old.
"Kikyo wait for me," eight your old Kagome says
"Hurry up you is moving to slow." Her sister Kikyo retorted.
A killer was chasing them and Kagome had gotten hurt trying to save Kikyo.
"I'm doing the best that I can. My leg is still wounded."
"And whose fault is that?"
"I was trying to help you."
"I didn't ask you to."
"So you would rather have died?"
They stopped and Kikyo looked at Kagome.
"All I'm saying is that you shouldn't have saved me because if it was the other way around I wouldn't have saved you like you did me. I would have let you die."
"You don't really mean that Kikyo. Do you?" Kagome said as she started to tear
"Yes I do. So don't ever save me again because I wouldn't do the same for you." Kikyo said coldly
"Bu-But why. I thought we were sisters. Aren't you supposed to love me? I thought that you loved me Kikyo?"
"Well then you thought wrong. And now it's time for you to die," Kikyo said gathering up miko energy.
"Why? Why do you hate me?"
"I hate you because YOU get the attention. YOU get the best things. YOU get treated the best. YOU are the favorite. And for that I detest you. I feel only hatred towards you. And that's why I gave him my soul and took half of yours for mine. And when you are in the afterlife you will then now how I feel." were the last words she said before she threw her miko energy at Kagome.
All of sudden Kagome felt a sudden energy come from her that deflected her attack. Kikyo was thrown back and Kikyo was transported to a different area. Kikyo lost her memory from the blast. But Kagome's heart was filled with hurt and betrayal.
(End of flashback)
"And from then on I decided that when I find her I would make her life a living hell." Kagome said
"But if she doesn't remember you then why does she not like you know?" Inuyasha asked
"Even though she can't remember me, she feels the hate that she felt towards still. So I guess that the feeling is mutual. You can take away their memory but not there heart. My parents don't even know that she is alive. They think that she is dead. Kikyo thinks that they are dead. She probably doesn't remember them either. But she will soon. She'll remember them when she sees them but she won't remember me. I plan on using that to my advantage."
"Where did the kind loving Kagome that I know go?"
"She's right here but, anytime I am reminded of what happened I get mad. Anyways let's drop the subject and explain to me about you and Sesshomaru."
"Fine; it all started when I was born. He despised me since I was a baby. He never showed me brotherly love."
"Not even Kikyo hated me from we were born. You must really have been messed up, but continue."
"We'll I don't know the full story because he my father won't tell me. But what I know from Sesshomaru is that his mother died when he was young. Our father then married my mother who was human. Sesshomaru thought that it was a disgrace for demons and humans to mate so when they had me I became the source of his hate. I wasn't a full demon or a full human so he labeled me as a low down, dirty Han you who didn't deserve any respect. He thought that I was the cause of his mother's death. He thinks that if his father never cheated on his mother with mine then she would never have gone out that night and gotten killed. He blames me and always will. He thinks that my father favored me over him. But I'm not even sure if his mother died before or after he met my mother. That might not even be the true story, but that's what Sesshomaru thinks and he blames his problems on me. Sesshomaru told me that and I have other source to find out the truth from. I don't think that Sesshomaru know what really happened. He was too young to understand. So that's what he tells himself to keep the hatred he feels toward me."
"We have so much in common with our siblings and our life."
"Your right."
"Well I'm going to go in the hot spring and relax my muscles before I go to sleep. You need to relax your muscles and go to sleep to. So join me. You've been traveling all day.
"I guess, but why do you care if I get enough sleep or if my muscles are relaxed or not?"
"Because who's going to take us to school tomorrow if your not rested. And we can't forget about the play. My favorite scene is the kissing one."
"Oh." He said as he blushed.
Kagome and Inuyasha went into the hot spring. When they got out they went to go lay on the soft fur rug that Lady Kaede spread out for them. Kagome fell asleep with Inuyasha's arms around her. Inuyasha fell asleep breathing in Kagome's
Black raspberry vanilla scent.
Little did they know that they were in for a rude awakening?
Well that's the end of that chapter. It was nine pages long on Microsoft. I hope you liked it a lot. How do you feel about what happened to Kagome and Kikyo as a child and what she feels now? And can someone tell me what really happened with Sesshomaru's mother? I need to know for a future chap. I was supposed to update last Friday but got side tracked and decided to add more dialogue to the story. Read and Review. I am coming out with a couple of new stories this month and next. They are going to be really interesting so check on my profile occasionally to find out when. Put me and my stories on alert.
