It is easy for her, to lie and say she hates you. Telling you that she loves you, well...that's different.
Too bad Kagome sucks at lying.
"Inuyasha...sit." Kagome was tired. Kagome was very tired and getting annoyed. Also, Kagome was PMSing. She needed to get home. Fast. Before she had an accident. So she opted for the easy way out. Destroying the Feudal Era's landscape by digging Inuyasha 6 feet under. Laughing mentally, she thought to herself. 'He's litteraly digging himself a grave.' Not wanting to take the fight any farther, she ran. Yes, Kagome had gotten very good at her own method of 'Sit and Ditch' as she would sit Inuyasha then run as fast as she could to the well, the use her hands as she'd flip gracefully into it, smirking at Inuyasha as she desended into it's depths. Oh yes, that little trick had cost her many bumps and bruises.
"Mom, Souta, Grandpa! I'm home!" she called her normal greeting. But she didn't recive her normal receiving. No warm welcomes, no kind smiles and bear hugs. Just the same ominous silence. Confused, and slightly worried, Kagome approached the shrines door. Opening it carefully, she called again. "Hello? I'm home!" Fear slowly crept into her as she saw how old her house looked. Normally it was clean and well kept, always looking modern. But now...she didn't know what to think. Looking around, she saw something off, hidden under years of dust. Dark against the stark white walls, Kagome saw something that had become farmiliar to her. Blood. Lot's of it. It lead a terrible trail to the living room. She guessed that whoever this blood had belonged to used the wall for support as they tried to escape the terror that hunted them. Reaching the living room she found something that terrified her. A skeleton that wore her younger brother's clothes. Covering her mouth to stifle her scream, she stepped past the dead soul and kept waking till she was met with a skull that bore her mothers hair. Lying not five feet from the skull was her mothers skeleton. Not bothering to stay any longer she entered the kitchen. Blood soaked walls met her view, and bones scattered and broken everywhere. Her grandfather. Running from the house she sat down and curled into tight ball. Finally releasing the waterfall she had held for so long, she cried well into the night, till she fell asleep.
'Kagome, it's time for you to awaken. Come home to us Kagome. Come home.' A hauntingly broken voice called, cracked with age. Kagome atempted to move, to somehow comfort the sad person who called to her so brokenheartedly. 'Kagome, wake up. Child, please, awaken. You are needed now more than ever.' Using immense effort, Kagome pushed open tired and unused eyes. She was met with a kind face of an elderly woman, whose eyes were closed in grief as tears slid silently down her cheeks. Feeling compelled to, Kagome reached up a hand and softly wiped the tears from the womans face. The womans eyes snapped open and stared at the girl in astonishment. "Is it really you?" the woman asked. "Where...am...I?" Kagome asked. She almost chocked. Her voice sounded slightly younger, she guessed she was around 14, instead of her previous 16 and a half. "Your in the water nation Kagome. Don't you remember?" the woman asked. "I...don't remember anything. I'm sorry." she said shakily. She still felt terribly weak, as if her own lean mucles hadn't been used in years. "Oh...my little Kagome. I'm so terribly sorry. It all started years ago, when the fire nation came on an attack. Many of our soldiers fought bravely, but the losses were terrible. You grew worried, as you had someone dear to you out there battling. You were struck down, and you never woke up. A coma that lasted 9 terrible years. You had only been five at the time. Your brother and sister, Katara and Sokka, were only three at the time. You are two years older than them. They don't really remember you Kagome. Never knew you. After you were struck down, we kept you locked up in the village shrine. We didn't know how you stayed alive so long, for we couldn't feed you, or let you drink." she said. Kagome tried to shove herself up, but the woman gently restrained her. Kagome looked to the woman with a hard look, and the woman backed off in shock. "I will train to use my muscles and become strong, then I will leave. Do you understand why?" Kagome asked. The woman looked astonished as Kagome shoved herself up, but her eyes softened. "Hai, I...understand." Kagome smiled warmly at her then, and the womans heart lifted.
