She keeps repeating all that she needed
She says she's right here, she seems so distant

Saying goodbye this time, the same old story
Seeing you cry, makes me feel like saying sorry

Saying sorry we're falling apart
wish we knew this from the start
Saying goodbye's the hardest part
Wish we knew this from the start

Hawthorne heights- Saying Sorry


Chapter 12- Saying sorry... the truth.

Kagome sat up, and rubbed her eyes. 'What the? Where am I?' She looked around her and sighed. ' InuYasha must have come and gotten me. How sweet of him.' Kagome placed her feet on the floor and shuddered. It was cold.

InuYasha walked over to Kagome's door, he could hear her shuffling as she got ready to get out of bed. He knocked slightly and called to her. "Kagome... are you awake? We need to talk."

Kagome pulled her sweater over her head and pulled on her stalking before she opened her door. " 'afternoon InuYasha. Hungry? What is it that you wanted to talk to me about?" She smiled as she walked towards the fridge to make a light lunch."

"Burgers, fries, and homemade coleslaw sound good to you?" InuYasha nodded and mumbled "Yea... you mom called, constantly." he sighed "She's on her way here."

Kagome looked up with fright. "What, why?" InuYasha shrugged. "I dunno. She left a crap load of messages on your phone, maybe you should listen to them?" Kagome grabbed her phone, and called her voice mail.

She listened to all her voice messages and turned to InuYasha, her eyes big and silent tears falling out. "InuYasha, mamma's on her way here, there is something different about her."

As if on cue, Ms. Hirgurashi's car pulled up into the drive way. She turned off the car, and walked up the the screen door and called in "Hello? Kagome, InuYasha?" Kagome looked at the door and wiped away her tears. She put on a small smile and walked towards her mothers voice.

Kagome pushed open the screen and walked out onto the porch, followed by InuYasha, who kept a watchful eye on Ms. Hirgurashi and Kagome. "Kagome... first, I wanna say, I'm sorry. Sorry for whatever happened to me, and i want to explain it to you. Can we go inside, its getting warm out here."

Kagome gave a slight nod and shooed InuYasha and her mother into the living room, while she walked into the kitchen to get drinks. She walked back out, and sat the drinks down, she sat next to InuYasha and looked at her mother in the face.

"Why are you here? What is it that is so important that you have to tell me, starting from the beginning." Ms. Hirgurashi nodded "That seems fair."


Your father was a mobster, even before I met him. When we got married, and you came along, your father gave that all up.

He would've done anything to protect us all, even if it ment his death... and eventually it did. Your father had some... debts he owed to the mob.


Ms. Hirgurashi stood next to her dead husbands grave with her two children. Tears fell freely, without her wiping them away. Kagome held her mothers hand, watching her father being lowered into the grave.

She ignored everything around her, she was oblivious to the preacher and her mother attempting to comfort her by slightly squeezing her hand. Her father had died in front of her eyes.

"Seized by a heart attack." So the doctors said, Kagome thought other wise. Her father was healthy. They arrived home, and ate dinner.

Ms. Hirgurashi walked up stairs to get ready for dinner with the lawyer to try and set everything strait. She took her shower and got dressed. She finished her makeup and walked downstairs. She hugged and kissed Kagome, Souta, and her father.

"I'll be back as soon as possible, I've just got to finish setting things straight with your father's lawyer, then I'll be home." she closed the door behind her, but not before looking her children in the eyes one last time. God knew how much she loved them, and would do anything to protect them. Even move away, move away from her husbands past.

Ms. Hirgurashi walked to the car and unlocked the door. Someone came up behind her and pointed a gun to her head. "Don't scream. Don't make a sound, just open the door and get in, and you're children will live... maybe."

Ms. Hirgurashi nodded, and got into her car. "Pleas, don't hurt my babies. They have nothing to do with this." Tears began to pour out of her eyes. "Please..."

"Shut up... Naraku wants to talk to you. He means business this time." the man grunted. "You know where it is." Ms. Hirgurashi drove without a word. She stopped the car out side of a run down warehouse in downtown Tokyo, she shut off the engine and stepped out.

She followed the man to the door and waited. 'Please god don't let them hurt my babies. Please. I'd give my life to keep them safe. Thats what I'm here for.'

The door opened and they walked in. She followed the man down a dark corridor to a room in the back, used as an office. "In, Naraku will be with you shortly."

She sat in the chair, and waited silently. Finally the door opened and he walked in. Just looking at him made her shudder with cold and fear. His eyes were piercing red, and his skin pale as a full moon. He had hair as black as coal down to his waist, but today it was pulled up and into a pony tail.

"Well well well... look who it is." he smiled, causing her to shudder a slight bit more. "Why am I here Naraku? Isn't it enough that you took my husband, and now you threaten my children, they have nothing to do with this, leave them out of it... please." She stood up to look him in the face, pushing her fear out of the way.

Naraku drew his hand back and slapped her across the face. "Oh contra ire, your children have a lot to do with this. You daughter Kagome, she's strong, even in the face of death. For you... her mother, who will end up betraying her, she'll still love you. Your son Souta i believe, will become a better child, you wont betray him, but he'll worry about you and his sister every day of his life. Your father, he's getting old, he'll become bed ridden most of the time, and wont know a thing, non of you would ever tell him."

Ms. Hirgurashi looked at him. "What the hell are you talking about Naraku? Your talking nonsense. I would never betray my children, thats why I'm here, to protect them."

Naraku gave a small chuckle. "Thats what you think dear, by giving yourself up, you mad the worst choice you could've made, to "protect" your children. Your daughter, is powerful, she'll get stronger as she gets older, and I can't have that. She'd ruin everything I've ever worked for, so we'll use the one thing closest to her heart besides her brother, father, and grandfather, to break her miko spirit."

Ms. Hirgurashi gasped, and stood up again. " I won't... I won't do it, you can't make me, she's my baby. I won't Naraku," He laughed again. "You have no choice my dear, I've made it for you."

He began mumbling an incantation under his breath. Ms. Hirgurashi looked at him, numbness and fear, filling every inch of her body. "Please... dear god no... please Nara..."

Then all went silent, the light, the single flicker of life and control left in her, left her body. Her mind over taken by Naraku's control. "Now... you'll go home, and abuse sweet little Kagome, and you'll try anything and everything i tell you to do to break her little spirit. I don't need her revolting against me not do it?"

Ms. Hirgurashi shook her head. "No Master Naraku. I'll do as commanded." She bowed her head slightly and left.


InuYasha clutched Kagome's hand, trying to comfort her, as the truth came out. Ms. Hirgurashi looked at Kagome, crying too. "Please understand, I never meant for this to happen, I was trying to protect you, honestly."

Kagome slowly stood up and walked towards her mother. " Mama... I've missed you mama." She hugged her mother, crying on her shoulder. "Baby, I never went anywhere, just my mind and control, I still loved you deep inside, and regretted every moment of everything I couldn't stop. I blame myself."

Kagome shook her head, as she felt InuYasha's hands on her shoulders. "Ms. Hirgurashi, I'm sorry for anything I've ever said to you, and we'd be glad to have your help. We've got to bring Naraku down, he's the biggest mobster in Tokyo."

Ms. Hirgurashi nodded, and reached into her purse for her keys. "I'll gladly help, but I've got to get back to Tokyo, I'll keep in touch." she walked out the door and to her car.

Before she got in, she turned around and looked at Kagome. "You should practice your miko powers, and that jewel that came out of you body, use that, it'll help you get stronger." She got into her car, and drove away.

Kagome looked at InuYasha then at the cabin and the surrounding forest. "Who knew, my father was a mobster. And me, a miko, possibly a powerful one." She looked into his soft golden eyes and sighed.

"InuYasha... I... I don't think I can do it. I'm uncoordinated in everything. I can't even walk right sometimes, let alone shoot a arrow or something. How can I be a powerful miko?"

InuYasha gave a soft chuckle and looked into her face, he pulled her into a hug and kissed the top of her head. "Don't worry, Sango, Miroku, and I will help you get stronger."

He pushed her away slightly to look into her eyes. "And if all else fails, you've got me, I'll protect you with everything I've got, even if I die in the process."

Kagome gave a small chuckle, "Don't be silly InuYasha, you know that won't happen." she gave a small smile after words. 'Dear god, I hope that it doesn't happen.' she sighed and walked into the kitchen again.

Kagome grabbed the things she needed to make for lunch. "InuYasha how many burgers can you eat?" Kagome waited for an answer, and when not getting one she walked into the living room. "InuYasha?" she started towards the room. "InuYasha?"

She opened the door that led into InuYasha's room. "InuYasha?" She stared at him, sitting at the end of his bed shaking. His breath coming in ragged gasps. "Whats wrong? Are you o.k.?"

InuYasha lifted his head at Kagome and pointed towards the window. "Out back, there is a cage of rabbits, bring me one... hurry." Kagome nodded and ran out back and picked the fattest one she could find.

She ran back in and handed it to InuYasha. "InuYasha!" she handed him the rabbit, and hurried out the room closing the door behind her. She heard the crunching of bones and sucking of blood, then all was silent.

Kagome knocked on the door, and softly called to him. "InuYasha, are you o.k.?" Kagome waited for an answer when she heard shuffling of feet and the door flew open. Kagome's eyes grew big and stared at him.

"What happened? Whats wrong? Are you o.k.?" InuYasha chuckled and headed for the kitchen without answering her. "Whats for lunch?"

Kagome's hands gripped into fist and her face grew flustered. "InuYasha, you almost died didn't you? Answer me." InuYasha spun on his heel and walked towards Kagome and gripped her wrists.

"No, its because I haven't been taking in the proper amount of blood that we, as vampires, need to sustain our bodies." Kagome looked at him, and sighed, while he continued. "Don't blame yourself, its my fault, for forgetting and being so worried about everything."

Kagome nodded and sighed. "So how many burgers can you eat, and how do you like them?" InuYasha started towards the living room. "About two, maybe three, just cook three. I like them rare... very rare." Kagome giggled and began cooking.

InuYasha sat down when the phone rang. He got up again with a sigh. "Hello?" Nothing but silence coming from the other end. "Hello? Who's this? What do you want?" A ragged breath gasped a few times before croaking "Its begun, prepare yourself."

InuYasha heard the click, telling him that the other person had hung up. He looked towards Kagome in the kitchen, his mind made up, it was time.
