Chapter 3

The Truth Of Kagome and Sesshoumaru

Kagomecouldn't believe her bad luck first Yuri shot her, then this.

"K-Kouga!"

There he stood staring with disbelief in his eye, he watched her reaction then noted that she said his name. It was Yumi.

Kagomestarted to get dizzy, from all the pressure of that moment. Everything around her went black and she fell.

Once she showed signs of getting dizzyKouga was there. He caught her as she fell forward. He didn't know what to do so he carried her to her house.

Kougawaited for her to wake up, which wasn't very long. About 15 minutes after he got her to her house he eye's started to open.

"What are you doing here." She asked as she sat up.

"I followed Sesshoumaru, I saw him heading after a white fox when we got half way to the forest. When he shot at you, I had a feeling he shot the wrong creature. Then you transformed and was crying, I then realized you were Kagome. However when you said my name I knew you were also Yumi."

Kagomenodded then bowed her head, standing up she walked over to her shelf, opening it she pulled out a ribbon, the same ribbonSesshoumaru had given her 10 years ago.

"That's Sesshoumaru's mothers ribbon isn't it?"

"Yes.

You see after I sent him back home, I was really weak, and sent myself here on accident. When I came too I sawSesshoumaru running from the river, I didn't say anything just watched him disappear from my life. I then went to school, I noticed him but he didn't seem to notice me. That is until a few weeks ago when I accidentally bumped into him. I was still upset he hadn't even noticed me, then I yelled at him, and walked away."

Koutg listened asKagome said this. Sighing she turned back to Yumi then sat on the couch across from Kouga.

"I was so upset about him shooting me I didn't even make sure no one was around just transformed, then you showed up almost giving me a heart attack." She joked a littleKouga smiled.

"There is one thing that confused me though, why was it snowing in the summer?"

" O, well you see, when I cry snow falls, telling everyone in the Sakura forest that I am upset. And if I want Sakura petals to fall I just have to chant a spell, and they come down and new tree's grow."

"So that's how the forest became Sakura Forest. When you came you made the environment full of Sakura trees."Kagome nodded

"You must not tellSesshoumaru about this, I will tell him eventually. Well actually tomorrow night at the dance, I'm going to wear his mothers ribbon around my neck."

Kouga promised he wouldn't say anything the whole day, then he left as it was getting late.

Kagomewas scared she didn't know how he would act when he found out she was Kagome. She went to her closet and found the dress she would wear for the dance. It was Sakura pink and had snow flakes along the sleeves.

Laying it beside her bed for when she got home the next after noon, also laid the ribbon next to it.

Then laid down on her bed and fell asleep.

The next morning, she rolled over turning off her alarm as it went off, getting dressed she quickly left for school.

When she arrived,Sesshoumaru stood there waiting for her by the doors. She walked up to him and smiled, silently hiding her fear of later that day. Kouga came next and they all walked into the school together.

OnlyKouga was a little nervous, he wanted to tellSesshoumar but didn't, he did promise he wouldn't after all.

Sesshoumaruhad noticed Yumi's silence, she hadn't talked much that day for some reason, neither did Kouga. Was there something they knew that he didn't?

"OK you two have been too quiet, what the hell is going on?"

Yumi looked really sad and he noticed, then something caught his attention a little scar on her arm. He hadn't seen that before. Grabbing her hand he lifted the sleeve up a little higher.

She quickly yanked her arm out of his grip, he noticed her sudden nervousness when he grabbed her arm.

"Yumi what happened? That wasn't there yesterday."

BothKouga and Yumi were looking down. Then a flash of what happened yesterday came to mind.

"A fox that has white tipped ears and tail!"Sesshoumaru thought chasing after the creature. He then loaded his gun and fired, it got startled and ran faster.

He shot a few more time, then finally the fox looked back and growled. Like it knew him? He then shot it in the front leg.

Then he let out a laugh and before leaving he said.

"I will eliminate every white fox with black tipped ears and tail until that one fox that killed my father is dead!"

Sesshoumarulooked at Yumi then saw that the scar was in the exact spot as the place were he shot the fox. His eye's widened, then his head fell, in shame.

Yumi noticed this then put her hand on his shoulder. He looked up and then she smiled.

"Yumi, I'm sorry, I didn't know."

"Sesshoumaru it's all right, I wouldn't be here if I didn't forgive you."

"But I could have killed you!"

"But you didn't and that's what counts."

Sesshoumarulowered his head again, then sighed. He wasn't sure if she was Kagome, all he knew was that she was akitsune youkaias well as Kagome.

Finally the bell rung to end school and everyone cleared out. The three went there separate ways. And once Yumi was out of site from others transformed and ran home.

She reached her house and transformed back to a human to get dressed for the dance later that night.

As she put on her dress she looked at the ribbon then smiled. Reaching out to grab it she tied it around her neck then a strange power came from the ribbon.

Her eye's widened and she touched the neckless. Suddenly losing consciousness.

Kagomelooked around the strange place she was in, it was filled with flowers andyoukai were around as well. She then realized that this was theyoukai paradise, she left when she was younger.

Then a young dog demoness walked up to her, no body else seemed to even notice her. She looked at the dog demoness then realized this to be Lady Sora.

Kagomequickly bowed her head but the demoness picked up her chin from the ground, just then Lord Haru walked up to her as well.

"Kagome pick your head up, no need to bow." Lady Sora said quietly to her.

Kagomedid as tolled. The two demons sat down next to her.

"Kagome do you know why you are here?"

"No, milady."

"The ribbon is what brought you here, it was mine when I was younger, I gave it to my son."

"You can't be Sesshoumaru's mother,Sesshoumaru is human! Isn't he?"

"No, my mate and I somehow ended up on the other side of the river, one day while I was still with pup. Instead of going back to the Demon Paradise we decided to live as humans."

"SoSesshoumaru is a dog demon?"

"Yes, though he does not know it yet, you will tell him for me."

"I can't he wont believe me."

"Yes, he will give him this and tell him "your mother tolled me to give this to you if you didn't believe me." Then he should believe you, although you are going to have to release his demon."

She handed her another ribbon.

"OK, I'll try."

"Good, now you will be waking up in a minute, you have to release his demon by midnight tonight don't forget, or you will out live him."

They all disappeared and she found herself back at her home. 30 Minutes till the dance! She quickly pulled her hair up into the ribbon that Sesshoumaru's mother had given him, then rushed out the door, it took about 20 minutes to get there!

She finally reached the school and straightened her hair and dress. Kouga saw her and yelled out her name.

"Yumi! Wait!"

Yumi turned around and waited for her friend to come.

"What is it?"

"Sesshoumaru said he would be a little late he had to do something."

"OK, I really need to tell him something more important then who I am."

"What? Can you tell me?"

"Only if you want to know."

"Yes I do!"

Yumi led him to a table inside the school were no one was, to tell him.

"OK, well you see when I put his mothers ribbon on, I blacked out."

"Go on."

Taking a deep breath she continued.

"I woke up in the demon paradise, the lord and lady came up to me, and tolled me a few things I never would have guessed about Sesshoumaru."

"It was a dream, do you think what happened really happened?"

"I know because of this."

Yumi lifted her hand to the hair band in her hair and pulled it out.

"She gave me this and when I came too it was in my hand."

She then tied her hair back up into a pony tail.

"Well that does prove it, what does she know that we don't?"

"He's an dog demon, he is LordSesshoumaru sense his father died."

Kougajust stared at her for a few minutes then shook his head.

"My best friend is a dog demon?"

"Yes, by the way there's nothing wrong with being a demon is there?"

"No, not at all."

"Good sesshoumaru's coming."

They sat at the table and waited for Yuri to show up. Which didn't take long as he walked through the door. Yumi waved at him and he walked over, to them.

"Hey, so what took you?"

"I had to go do something."

"Umm.. Sesshoumaru I need to speak with you, it's very urgent and I need to before midnight which is in 1 hr."

"OK, well lets have fun for now."

"Good idea."

"Cause your gonna need some fun before midnight."

Yumi followed him to the dance floor, asKouga found someone to dance with as well.

"So do you want to tell me now?"

"I can't just tell you I have to show you as well."

Sesshoumarunodded and they kept dancing. There was 30 minutes left and Yumi tolledKouga she was going to tell him and show him.

Yumi pulledSesshoumaru out into the garden away from the peeping eye's of everyone at the party.

"So what do you want to show and tell me?"

Yumi bowed her head then stepped back as a blue light engulfed her. When the light had disappeared, it revealed a fox demon, she was wearing a light blue kimono with crescent moons and sakura petals.

Kagome reached her hand up to the back of her neck then untied the ribbon.Sesshoumaru just stood there not believing what was happening.

"My mothers ribbon."sesshoumaru whispered as he looked at the ribbon in his hand.

"Yes, you know perfectly well who I am now don't you?"

"Kagome, why didn't you tell me?"

"I was scared, scared that you didn't remember me. Then the day at the river proved you remembered me, I just couldn't bring myself to tell you though. I was going to tell you sooner but I thought I might as well tonight."

"I understand you were scared, but why didn't you turn into you demon self when I shot at you to tell me it was you?"

"I don't know, and actually I didn't know it was you till I turned around and then I growled, I wasn't growling I just said your name. You took it for a growl and shot me, then left thinking I was dead."

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you."

"It's OK, there is however another reason I'm telling you this."

"And what is that?"

"Well you see, your mother and father were dog demons."

"What? How were they demons?"

"Your mother and father were the Lord and Lady of the Demon Paradise."

"How do I know your not lying?"

Kagome then reached to her hair releasing her hair from the ribbon and handing it to him.

"It was your mothers, she tolled me herself you were a dog demon and the new lord of the Demon Paradise."

OK, finished! I'll hurry up and update my other one to.
