Wise words from the fool!
Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you do criticize them, you're a mile away with an extra pair of footwear.

No, not really the actual disclaimer is...I DO NOT OWN INUYASHA!!!
Chapter Two...I suppose
How many secrets can people keep to themselves before, I don't know, exploding? I only have two and I am going crazy! I guess it doesn't help that one of those secrets could make me lose all of my friends, my home, and my job, and the other would put me in jail. They sound pretty serious to me...
Flashback
'Hey, kid, are you all right?' I was so alone. So scared. Inuyasha saved me, and that is how I know he really is my hero. Everything about him was perfect. His hair was out of bindings and soaked, his violet eyes boring holes into me as he stared on in concern. 'Aren't you cold?'
I could only nod, making sure not to make eye contact with him. He didn't know who I was or why I was crouching down in the middle of the park while the rain fell in rhythm, but he still wanted to help me.
'Come on squirt, get up.' His voice was firm but still ever so soft. I didn't dare do as he said, because I knew I didn't deserve his care. 'Stubborn little brat aren't you? Come on I'm not going to hurt you. What's your name?'
The true problem came, and I couldn't think. He had asked for my name. It was same name that was being repeated on the news and overhead from helicopters. It was same name that could ruin my life in a second. It was my name. Kagome, but I couldn't let it be my name anymore.
'Kago.' I said hesitantly, as if expecting him to not believe me.
Inuyasha laughed, no, it was more like a giggle, in a boyish way. 'Such a tough name for a sissy.' He was trying to do something, but I didn't know what it was. 'I bet when your mom named you she didn't know you would turn out like this.'
I finally caught on to his little game. He was attempting to get a rise or reaction out of me, but I wasn't in the mood. 'No, I don't think she knew at all.' I confessed with a sigh.
'You want some ice cream? That always makes me feel better.' I finally looked up into his eyes and all I could do was smile. I watched him hold out his hand for me, and that was the beginning of my little charade.
Reality
"Has anyone seen my favorite scrunchy?" Rin inquired casually before shrugging and walking back up the stairs.
It was about midnight, and everyone was up for the usual routine. Go to sleep at ten, wake up at around twelve, get your favorite scoop of ice cream, and talk about how your day had gone. It was the best part of living in the parlor.
"I got slapped again." Miroku declared happily, not at all ashamed. He is something unique, well, actually I don't know how unique a lecher is, but to me he's special. He is older than all of us, even Inuyasha. "I didn't even do anything,"
"Sure you didn't. Since when is groping 'not doing anything'?" That was Sango, like I said before she is my best friend, but she has a chip on her shoulder, especially when it comes to Miroku. Don't tell her I said this, but I think she has a thing for him.
"Oh, my beautiful wild flower, how can you be so mean to me? Is it because of my hair?" Sometimes he says the silliest things. I don't mind, but I can see Sango twitching, and that isn't a good sign.
"What the hell does being a pervert have to do with your hair?" Inuyasha asked from behind the counter. He was decked out in red, like always, but that's okay because I love his pajamas.
"I agree with him." Added Rin as she put her hair up in a side ponytail. She is so cute, but so naive. Then again, who am I to talk?
We chatted, and then chatted some more about whatever came to mind. It was one in the morning before we started heading up to bed. I was the last one to reach the steps, and just as I got on them the phone rang. It wasn't very strange for people to call at this time, because Sesshomaru, Inuyasha's brother lived half way around the world, and to him it was the afternoon.
Retracing back to the phone I picked it up and spoke respectfully. "Ice Cream Team, this is Kago speaking, how may I help you?"
'Kagome, give me a break. Where's my brother?' Didn't I mention there is someone who else knows who I am. Yes, Sesshomaru knows, but he has never told anyone.
He found out when he was visiting on business. I had only been there for a couple of months and Rin hadn't even joined the group yet. Sesshomaru thought it was weird how I always avoided what my last name was, or how I would change, only, in the bathroom.
He did a follow up on me, and came up empty. After some more investigating he realized that Buffalo was missing a little girl, a little criminal. Me. He figured it all out and asked me about it. I told him everything, give or take a little, and he just said to be careful. I have loved him like a brother ever since.
"Didn't I tell you not to call me that? Never mind." I paused before informing him, "hold on, I'll go get him." After holding the phone to my chest I screeched out Inuyasha's name.
With irritation written all over his tired face he scrambled down to me. "What? What's wrong?" Of course the first thing he would think is something bad. He is such a pessimistic.
"It's your girlfriend." I said slyly. I will get to her later.
"Oh, thanks." He quirked an eyebrow, which was silently telling me to disappear. So I did. "Hey babe."
'Glad to here you still love me, but the new nickname is rather disturbing.' Commented a sour voice.
"Kago I am giving you-" Inuyasha threatened.
"I am so tired. Goodnight!" I fake yawned to prove a point and then went up to my room.
Even though everyone thinks I am gay, I still have to share a room with Miroku. He doesn't treat me like Inuyasha though, he isn't scared that I am going to make a move on him. I guess that is a good thing, but I would still prefer to stay with the other girls.
Miroku was already asleep when I went in. I love when that happens. It means that I don't have to go all the way to the bathroom, it's in the basement, and instead I can just change in a dark corner of the room. He never wakes up anyway.
I don't think I have told you how I hide my womanly equipment yet. It's actually pretty easy. If I wore a sports bra or a tight tank top I know that somebody would figure it out. So I use medical wrap and over it I wear a muscle shirt.
As I was taking off the first layer of upper clothing I heard a stirring from behind me, but I just figured Miroku was turning in bed.
"Kago, I can't take it anymore." Natural reactions took hold of me and I jumped back against the wall, not bothering to hide my chest. It didn't matter anyway, because I still had another shirt over the wrap.
"What are you talking about Miroku?" I tried desperately to play innocent, but I knew it was over.
"I have kept it to myself for too long, thinking you were eventually going to tell us all. Does Sango even know?" I had been busted by the buster.
"No, she doesn't. No one does. How long have you known?" I inquired quietly.
"About four months, I think, something like that. I haven't said anything don't worry." His tone was so...so...worried. Not at all like I imagined it would be. I figured everyone would be furious.
"Are you going to tell?"
"Should I tell?"
"Please don't."
"Why not? Why does it matter?"
"It matters! Please don't!"
"I don't know Kago, if that's your name. What the hell is your name?"
"Kagome. Kagome Higurashi."
"You mean you're-"
"I am, but you can't tell!"
