Authors Note:

No one reviews! That's depressing.

Could someone PLZ REVIEW? I'm getting tired of asking.

I re-wrote this chapter with some small changes. Enjoy!

Kagome was stomping towards the village. If you looked closely enough, flames had formed in her eyes. Her arms were straight down her side as she walked. Sango, Miroku and Shippo were walking behind her. No one dared talk to her when she was this angry.

"Why did she get so mad all of a sudden?" asked Shippo. Sango never stared straight at him, "We were just talking about Hoshiko. When I asked her who she thought the parents were, she flipped out!"

Her heavy footsteps rang loudly in the small village. As she entered the hut, Inuyasha was still on his side with droll escaping his mouth. "Oh, hello Kagome!" replied a smiling Hoshiko, "He's been like that for quite a while." She pointed to Inuyasha. Kagome stared at him for a second with a weird expression then walked up to him. It looked as if she would stroke his hair gently but it resulted to be a smack on his head. His ears twitched.

"Why'd you do that for?" he yelled at the miko. He had finally escaped his trace. But his thoughts were still running madly, 'How could this happen? Why did she come here? What happens in the future that forces her to search for me?' All those questions couldn't be answered right away.

"How could you keep such a secret from me?" Kagome yelled. "What secret?" he replied. Her face cringed in anger and she pulled Inuyasha outside. "What do you mean, 'what secret?'" she yelled, "I'm talking about Hoshiko!" By now her face had turned red. He wanted to laugh but he figured she would get even more frustrated with him so he decided to hold it in. "Oh" was his only reply.

"Oh? That's it?" the miko was now bright red. It looked as if she would almost explode. "Why are you getting so mad for? I didn't know she even existed!" he said. Her face started to turn to normal until she thought he must be lying so she would calm down. "Liar! I bet that's Kikyou's daughter, huh? It must have been great when you found out it's a girl!" she yelled, not even letting him speak. "But.." Inuyasha started, "No! You don't need to tell me anything! This conversation is over!" she then stomped out of the village.

"Where are you going?" Inuyasha asked, "I'm going home, where my family and friends aren't liars!" she said with a small 'humph!'. She whirled around, walking away from him and towards the well. But only after she yelled, "Sit!". Inuyasha plummeted into the dirt, creating a large hole below him.

"What bit her in the ass?" he asked Miroku when he arrived with Sango and Shippo. Inuyasha rubbed him head. "Um, I believe she got mad at you." Miroku replied. Inuyasha pounded him on the head, "After all her screaming, I think I can figure that out!" Miroku fell onto the floor, completely knocked out.

"Inuyasha!" said Shippo, "Kagome thinks you knew about Hoshiko all this time." He nodded, "I know. But she didn't believe what I told her so she left." "You have to go and get her!" the kitsune yelled.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hoshiko was still inside and had heard everything. She didn't know what to make of it, but she knew that the identity of her mother had been hidden even from her. Every time she would ask Inuyasha about it, he would tell her the same thing, "When you're older and more matured." She would get frustrated with this.

He never mentioned her name or talked about her much, except for some random things, such as how her black hair always glistened in the sun, how she always had a smile on, and her amazing talent in archery. That is, before she was murdered.

Her description wasn't so clear either. Inuyasha was never good at explaining things to little girls. For all Hoshiko knew, her mother looked like a simple black haired maiden. His eyes would show a deep sorrow whenever he mentioned her so Hoshiko tried not to ask so often.

"If only he would of told me." she whispered, "He was just being a stubborn puppy." she giggled.

Yet she never complained because Inuyasha had always been a good father and protector. Though he didn't know how to raise a small hanyou, so he would often end up getting help from Sango and Miroku. Miroku was just as ignorant as Inuyasha but he knew a thing or two.

"Hoshiko! Come eat your food before I do!" that would mean, "it's dinner time". Hoshiko remembered how she would blast out her room and into the kitchen where Inuyasha would be stuffing noodles in his face. She'd shake her head and hand him a piece of cloth to clean his face with.

"Look Hoshiko! It's Ramen! Just like your mother would make it." he'd beam with a radiant glow that only came at dinner-time when he had prepared them some hot ramen.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kagome didn't hesitate to jump into the well. She was relieved that Inuyasha hadn't tried to stop her because she didn't want to hear anything else he had to say.

She climbed out of the well yet she was still was in the feudal era. "Hmm.. That's odd. And when did it get so dark?" she told herself. Then she heard a scream coming from the forest. Kagome immediately ran to check it out.

She got to a small clearing where she saw a tiny cabin, it had blue drapes hung along all the windows. A brown, clay pot was smashed on the doorstep and daisies were scattered all over the floor. The door had been swung open and was tapping the side of the house as the wind blew on it. 'Where did that scream come from?' she thought. Suddenly, a small girl ran past her. 'Hoshiko? Where is she doing?'

She saw how Naraku was standing over Inuyasha's body. Kagome gasped in horror. "Naraku! You bitch, get away from Inuyasha!" her arrow flew past the fog aiming at Naraku's head. Before it met his forehead, Naraku appeared in front of Kagome. "Ah, the miko. I thought I killed you years ago. No matter, I can kill you again." he smirked at the thought. "You can try!" she yelled in his face.

He hit her with his long tentacles and sent her soaring. She landed face first into the hard ground. Her right leg and arms got wounded badly while her face got scratched. She glared at him. The bleeding didn't stop her from throwing another arrow. This time, it past through his arm, breaking it off completely. He smirked again before disappeared into the forest.

'Inuyasha!' she tried to run towards him but fell twice before she ended up crawling to his side. "Inuyasha! Wake up!" she yelled desperately. "Eh…" he opened his eyes. "Kagome? Is that you?"

"Of course it's me! Now get up! We have to save Hoshiko!" the miko was starting to get worried at the look in his eyes. It seemed he had lost his sweet gaze and in place was only a look of sorrow. He saved his last breath to tell her, "I-I love…you…go save H-Hoshiko."

"Inuyasha? Wake up! It's not funny!" she saw how he wasn't breathing, blinking, or even shivering from the cold anymore. Her eyes had flames again, "Naraku…" she whispered.
