DISCLAIMER: I don't own them and never will but now two people I know call me Kagome all the time x_X Insanity I think it is.

I'd like to say thank you to Mafia Puppet for being my new beta. Have fun with it.

The question about why Kagome knew about god was a cut out scene. I jumped 2 weeks in the last chapter because I knew if I wrote everything, this would be EXTREMELY long ^^; and I myself know that some people don't like really long stories. Anyways during 2 weeks, Kagome and Inuyasha had visited Miroku's house which really isn't a house, it's a temple where he lives with his guardian since his parents have died. (I don't remember his name u-u). During that time, Miroku explains to Kagome about different religions that people have in the world such as God, Buddha, Mythology, etc.

Now on with the story!

New Chapter: Chapter 10: Enchantment

I continued to stare at the boy. From what I had read in the profile I was given, his parents and elder sister had been killed in front of him. It was no wonder the look he was giving me. I realized in a moment why Naraku had picked him. The boy probably didn't want to remember. He didn't want to return to the pain of reality. He'd give up his soul to never feel it again. That's why.

I bent down in front of him and pulled him into an embrace. I knew he was somewhat startled when he straightened a bit but I didn't want to let go. I didn't want him to give up. I felt tears run down my cheeks and held him tighter. "Please. . .Just let it all out. . .Don't hold it in."

I felt his body shudder and sobs slowly rise. I kept my eyes closed and continued to hold him as his body racked against mine, his tears soaking into my shirt while my own into his. What was I here for? I didn't know anymore.

~(-)~(-)~(-)~

I awoke. . .around 2 a.m. from a noise. I hugged my bear and looked around. My window was open and the night wind made the pale curtains flutter. I never remembered opening it. Quietly I crept over to the window, still clutching my bear. I peeked out and saw nothing like I had earlier from when I was in the washroom.

My door swinging open suddenly made me start to scream but a hand cover my mouth. My eyes slowly unclenched themselves to see Inuyasha being my captor. I quickly pushed him away.

"What are you doing in my room!?" I sputtered.

He looked past me and through my window. "I heard something and came to check on you," he grinned. "Guess you were just sleepwalking. Didn't think you were the type."

I punched him playfully. "Yeah, right. I believe you about the noise because I heard it to but I don't know what it was."

"I told you. You were probably sleepwalking. Probably got up and walked back into your bed and hit your head on the bedpost." He said laughing.

"I'm serious! A noise woke me up." He was getting on my nerves.

He sighed. "Alright alright. I guess we were just being paranoid or something. A stray cat maybe knocked over the garbage can. I'll have to clean it up tomorrow morning probably."

Relieved a bit I smiled and plopped back on my bed while hugging my bear. I closed my eyes. "Comfy."

"Jeez."

I cracked one eye open to look at Inuyasha closing my window.

"You keep this thing open it's no wonder you seemed to have caught a cold yesterday."

I yawned "I didn't open it."

"Well I guess my dad opened it to let fresh air into the room while we were at school. Mine were open to."

"Hmmm. . ." I was drifting to sleep again.

"Kagome? You still awake?"

". . ."

Inuyasha sighed "Stupid girl." Than he smiled as he walked out "Well, sleep tight I guess."

The magic of television was entertaining me. It was the weekend and there was nothing better to do, though the violence they showed wasn't that appealing. Earlier Miroku had suggested that we all go to the mall for a little fun. . .Of course he also HAD to include the words "lingerie modeling". I don't understand how he can possibly continue to stand the way he does now after all the beatings he has taken. Plus I didn't know that lingerie was the in the first place. Miroku and Inuyasha had gone out with Sesshoumaru to go grocery shopping thought they obviously didn't want to. They had been forced to by Inutaisho and Inuyasha made Miroku tag along.

So here I was with Sango and Sesshoumaru's friend Rin. We tried calling over Kouga, Ayame, and Shippo but all were busy. Ayame was with Kouga while Shippo was doing some major project that he had procrastinated working on. Rin was nice in an odd way. She seemed to have wanted to go with the boys shopping but was told not to. A follower I suppose with an extreme attachment to Sesshoumaru.

"Hey can we do something else?" Sango asked as she rolled her eyes when another anvil fell on the coyote on the television.

"We could go to a park." Rin suggested.

My eyes sparkled. "Let's do that! I haven't been to one since the day we met." I said smiling brightly.

"Sounds good," Sango said switching off the television, "We'll just leave a note for the guys to meet us there later."

~(-)~(-)~(-)~

We were currently playing a game of hide-and-go-seek. Unfortunately I wasn't very good at it and had been 'It' about fifteen times now. Sighing I walked down a path keeping an eye out for either Rin or Sango. Instead I found Kikyo sitting on a bench looking at the sky. She seemed lost in thought as I sat beside her and than very surprised when I asked how she was.

"I'm okay. . ."

"You seem to be concentrating on something. Do you have a school project you have to do?"

"No. I finished my work already."

We sat in silence for awhile before she spoke a surprising question to me.

"What is it like?"

I blinked at her confused.

"What do you mean?"

She looked at the sky again. "What is it like to be so perfect? Your innocence when we first met was overwhelming. Your kindness to people around you leaves enjoyment. Though you did hurt that boy, what's his name. . . Miroku, You are still so pure. What is it like?"

I looked away from her. "I don't know what you mean. I am merely a person like everyone else. Though I did have amnesia for awhile, that may have affected me into being so."

She turned to me. "I want to tell you something. Please don't tell anyone."

I nodded.

"Do you know the reason why Inuyasha and myself are not on good terms?"

"No. No one told me."

"Some say it is because I had cheated on him but that isn't the truth. The truth is I don't think I was worthy of him. I didn't want him to know so I began to act cold around him. He began to get angry and soon we broke up. Maybe it was for the best but I regret making him angry. When I'm better, when I believe I'm good enough. . .Maybe I'll go back to the way I was and maybe we can be together again."

"Why. . .are you telling me this?"

"I have no one else to tell it to. I'm not completely sure why I'm telling you either. Maybe I just don't feel like being misunderstood anymore and you are the only one that would accept me as for who I am instead of something else."

"I see." I thought for a few moments. So Kikyo wasn't as bad as people claimed her to be. It was all an act so she could try to achieve her goals. "It must have been hard on you."

"It was a little difficult."

"I'm sure Inuyasha would forgive you if you told him about it."

"It's been to long. His hatred for me is too deep now to replace." She paused a moment, "I also don't have the courage to tell him myself."

"You have to tell everyone sometime! People will never understand you if you don't tell them what is going on!"

She looked at her hands. "I. . .I just can't bring myself to do it. I've tried before. I've tried so many times but I don't want to disappoint my parents. I must be perfect for them."

I looked away, facing the sky. "At least you know your parents. I can't remember mine." It wasn't a lie. I never truly knew my parents after all, I was taken at birth and they both had died. "I tired imagining their faces once but than I thought 'What if this isn't what they really looked like? What if they acted different than how the parents I know now do?' and than I stopped thinking about it."

"I hope you find them someday. I'm surprised they haven't searched for you."

I thought an answer quickly. "Maybe they didn't want me back." How was I supposed to say they were dead if I was supposed to have amnesia? Now that I think about it, I almost was going to tell her that they were dead. Almost as if I could say anything and nothing would be wrong. Something was out of place.

We sat in silence for a few moments before I heard someone shouting towards us. I looked around and saw Inuyasha and Miroku heading towards us. Well, more like Inuyasha stalking towards us and Miroku just following slowly behind. Inuyasha stopped walking a few feet away from us and glared towards Kikyo.

"Kikyo, you bitch, what the hell are you doing with Kagome?!"

End of Chapter 10

Yeah I'm stopping short a page and a half but I couldn't find a way to word the next part out in my mind. . I'll try to figure out what to put and stick it in the next chapter.
