Last Time:
"Hello girls."
Kagome and Sango stared, wide-eyed.
The figure continued, talking to Naraku. "I take it that ye did the job, Naraku? Are they dead?"
Naraku nodded and turned to the women, grinning.
"K-Kaede?" Sango and Kagome said, shocked.
This Time:
"What…What are you doing here?" Sango asked, dreading the answer she was sure that was coming.
(I know that Kaede is really out of character, but don't me!)
Kaede threw her head back and laughed evilly. "What do you think?" She spat.
Kagome whimpered quietly. InuYasha and Miroku looked on, confused.
"No…." Sango whispered.
"Didn't ye four think it was weird that ye were sent to kill each other on the same day?" Kaede hissed, stepping forward. "Naraku and I teamed up and, Kagome, ye and Sango, had to go through what InuYasha and Miroku went through five years ago. That is why they never talked about their families."
Kagome glanced over at InuYasha. He was now standing next to her, on her left side, grinding his teeth angrily. Miroku was knocked out on the slide. Kagome thought she saw four faint, purple lines, two on each side of InuYasha's face.
Take a deep breath, InuYasha. Do not lose control now! He, InuYasha, thought. He took a deep breath, and the lines started to fade away.
"And remember," Naraku said, snapping InuYasha out of his thoughts, "You signed a contract, so don't even think of leaving the country."
Suddenly, Kaede and Naraku vanished, as it seemed, into thin air.
After a few moments, Kagome turned to look at her dead family, as did Sango. Kagome bit her lip and was about to say something to InuYasha, but he just put a finger to her lips.
"It's okay."
The Next Day
"Alright, here you two are. I'm sorry for your losses." The cremator said, handing Sango and Kagome two small glass bottles on two gold chains (Think the Sacred Jewel shard case.). They put their families' ashes around their necks. That way they would always be together.
The man who cremated the families had long black hair in a ponytail. He looked about nineteen or twenty years old and was very nice. The best part of him was his eyes, in Kagome's opinion. They were a piercing blue, almost a weird color, but on him looked amazing.
But InuYasha's are way better, Kagome thought. Then, EW! How can I even be thinking that?
Kagome nodded at the man. "Thank you, Mr. …?"
He laughed. Oh, please call me Kouga. Just Kouga." He took out a pen and paper, writing something down.
When he was done, Kouga handed the paper to Kagome. In small, neat writing, it said:
Kouga
732-1934
(It's not an actual number!)
Once Kagome finished reading, she looked up. InuYasha, who had been reading over her shoulder, snorted. Kagome elbowed him- hard- in the ribs. He let out a small groan.
Kouga looked over at Kagome and said, almost hypnotizing, "Call if you want to talk. I have a feeling that we could be very good friends." Or something more, He added silently.
Kagome smiled up at him. No, she literally looked up. Kouga was, what? Six-three? Four?
"Thanks, I will."
The four, Sango, Miroku, Kagome, and InuYasha, walked out of the building.
"What was up with that guy?" A very frustrated hanyou asked Kagome.
"I don't know. He seemed nice enough, though." She looked up at InuYasha, who narrowed his eyes at her. "Jealous much?"
InuYasha just crossed his arms and looked away. "Feh! I'm not jealous." Well…. Maybe a little bit. He thought silently.
"Uh-huh. Sure." Kagome answered sarcastically.
"I'm not!"
Last night, InuYasha and Miroku told Kagome and Sango the whole story of why this all happened. Once you signed the contract, you are basically Naraku's slave (Like Kagura and Kanna, sort of.).
Their families were killed because they couldn't have any witnesses. Kagome apologized many times for trying to hurt them.
Everyone decided that it was too late for Kagome and Sango to go back to their apartment, since it was about two in the morning. So everyone just hung out and talked.
Flashback
"So…InuYasha," Kagome started. Miroku and Sango were on the other side of the room, talking in hushed voices. "It's your turn. Ask me a question."
"Okay. Um," He tried to think of a question that wouldn't offend her. "Who was that Yura girl? You look a little bit like someone I used to know."
Kagome smiled sadly. "Well, we've known each other since…fifth grade, I think. Everyone always compared us, right down to the friends we had." She mimicked someone in a high pitched voice. "My god, Kagome, it's no wonder Yura gets all the guys. I mean, you don't even put on make-up!"
InuYasha was surprised that Kagome didn't wear make-up. So she was naturally beautiful?
Kagome continued. "So, every guy I've ever liked, Yura, being the slut that she is, has tried to steal them all. In the ninth grade, she dropped out of school, and apparently she's on crack now."
"Wow, um, okay, then," InuYasha said, raising his eyebrows and looking away. The silence was too much for him, and he tried desperately to find something to say. Then, without thinking it through, he blurted, "I think you're a lot prettier than Yura."
Kagome blushed. "Um, thanks, I guess."
"Okay, your turn."
Kagome laughed. "Alright, this may sound weird, but do you have any brothers or sisters?"
InuYasha snorted. "Yeah, I have a sister named Sesshomary." He laughed at Kagome's expression. "No, I'm just kidding, I have a brother named Sesshomaru. Half brother, same dad. He's an arrogant, selfish, bast-"
"Okay! So you don't like him much?" Kagome interrupted, eyes wide. InuYasha smiled slightly and nodded.
"Hey Kagome?"
"Yeah?"
"If you're seventeen, how come you're not in school?"
"Oh, I, uh-" She blushed and looked down at her hands. "-I skipped two grades. I graduated the year before Sango. We've been best friends since seventh grade."
InuYasha's eyes widened a little. "So, you're smart?"
Kagome blushed again. "I guess so."

Author's note: Okay! Boo-hoo? Whoo-hoo? Tell me…in a review!
I know that Kagome shouldn't be shy about skipping two grades, but she's Kagome and Kagome, in my story, is kind of shy about that. I don't know why, maybe some people picked on her for it.
R&R!
Next chapter preview: Ayame comes in, and we learn about her past. It's kind of corny, so don't hate me!
