The next morning, Kagome woke up to a sunny morning, but slightly chilly. She sat up from the lump of hey and looked around at her surroundings. Where was Inuyasha?

"Inuyasha?" She said, but there was no sound. "Inuyasha?" she said once more, but still no sound. She was getting scared. Did he leave her here all alone by herself? Did he not love her anymore? If he didn't love her anymore, why did he kiss her last night? All of these questions came piling into her mind one after the other.

Kagome didn't know what to do now; she didn't know where she was. While she was panicking there was a sudden rustle in the trees outside of the cave that startled Kagome. She stared outside the entrance way waiting for a mad demon to come in and attack her for sleeping on their bed.

Suddenly, Inuyasha jumped into the cave and said cheerfully, "Hey Kagome," Kagome sighed of relief.

"Where were you?" Kagome asked. "You had me worried that you left me here all alone." Inuyasha looked at her in confusion and walked to her and kneeled down.

"I would never leave you," He smirked, lifting up her chin and kissing her lips. "I went out to find breakfast," he said tossing her a piece of fruit to eat.

"Oh, good, I'm starving!" she said catching the fruit and taking a bite out of it. "What else do you have?"

"Roasted lizards!" Inuyasha said excitedly.

"Roasted lizards?"

"Yup, here try one," he said passing her one."Umm, no thanks, I'll pass."

"Are you sure? They're really good!""Yes," she laughed. "I'm sure."

"Okay, your loss," He said starting to munch on them and savoring the last bite.

"So, what are we doing today," Kagome asked."Well, I was hoping to find my brother, if that's alright with you."

"He still hasn't come home?"

"Nope."

"Well, I'd be happy to help you find your brother," Kagome said smiling at Inuyasha and he smiled back at her.

"Thank you, Kagome."After they were finished eating, Kagome jumped on Inuyasha's back and they were off. When they came to a path that was along a river, Inuyasha let Kagome down, so she could walk on her own. They walked for hours along the river until they heard a screechy, tired voice yell.

"Riiiiiin! Ses-shou-ma-ru-Sama! Riiiin!" A green toad demon wobbled towards them. As he walked in a daze, he ran right into Inuyasha's left leg and fell backwards, totally exhausted from walking a long distance. "Sesshoumaru-Sama?" he asked gazing up at a doubled and blurry Inuyasha.

"You know my brother?" Inuyasha asked.

"Eh? You are not my lord! Who are you and why do you resemble my lord Sesshoumaru?" The toad asked trying to catch his breath.

"You were calling 'Sesshoumaru'. Where is he? How do you know him?"

"Yes, I know a Sesshoumaru. I am Jaken, his personal assistant!"

"His personal Assistant?" Kagome and Inuyasha said in unison, lifting one of their eyebrows.

"Yes, do you have a problem with that?" Jaken instantly said, while brushing the dirt off of him.

"Where is Sesshoumaru? Take me to him," Inuyasha demanded.

"I'm sorry," Jaken began all snooty like, "Sesshoumaru-Sama would never want to see or speak to you, half demon." Inuyasha snapped and grabbed Jaken by his robe.

"I am not a half demon!" he glared into the green toad's eyes with fury.

"Yes you are, I can smell it all over you. You are the son of a demon and a human."

As Inuyasha growled at him, Kagome placed her hand gently on his arm. Just by the look in her eyes he knew that he wanted him to put the demon down. Inuyasha set Jaken back down on his own two feet and stood back crossing his arms.

"I see…Why are you listening to that human girl? Humans are just weak creatures. You could kill her in one swing of your arm. What's wrong with demons these days? They all like humans. What's to like about them? They're pathetic; useless!" He scoffed.

Inuyasha was a little confused of what Jaken had just said. What other demons? As far as he knew he was the only demon who liked a human. Kagome wasn't pathetic! She wasn't useless!

Inuyasha started to get angrier. He was still angry from when Jaken had called him a half demon. He was sure that his mother was a demon, but he never knew his mother that well, so he wouldn't know. His father never really liked to talk about Inuyasha's mother that much.

"Come on, Kagome," Inuyasha said grabbing her wrist and dragging her away from the green toad.

"Wait! Inuyasha! Where are we going?" Kagome asked. "Doesn't he know where your brother is?"

"Yes, he does, but now I know his scent, so I can find him again later. He won't go far."

"So, where are we going?" She asked, still walking with him and trying to keep up with his fast pace.

"We're going to my father!"

"Eh! Your father? But-"

"Get on my back," He said bending over. Kagome jumped on his back and they were off. He was running as fast as he could back to his home, and back to his father.When they arrived, Inuyasha slammed open the door in rage and stormed through the house looking for his father. He found his father in his usual spot, his office writing.

"Father!" Inuyasha yelled."Inuyasha! Why are you back so soon? It hasn't even been a full day."

"Dad! Who was mom?" Inuyasha asked. Inutaisho sat in his chair, full of confusion.

"Your mother? You came all the way back here just to ask me who your mom was?"

"Yes!" Inuyasha yelled, "Was she human?"

Kagome quietly stepped into the house a little scared of Inuyasha's dad separating them again, but Inuyasha did promise that he wouldn't let that happen. There was silence. As Inutaisho tried to search his mind for an answer, Inuyasha waited anxiously for one.

"Inuyasha…your mother…" he paused, "…she was human." Inuyasha's eyes grew big in shock.

"If she was human, then why did you separate me from Kagome?" he barked.

"I separated you two because…" he sighed, "Because I didn't want you to go through the same thing I had to with your mother." Inutaisho voice grew sadder by just thinking of it.

"What happened to mom?" Inuyasha asked starting to calm down a bit.

"Son, do you remember the story I told you when you were just a boy? About Akina and Kazuo?"

"Ya, but what does that have to do with mom?"

"Do you remember the many consequences for being in love with a human and the demon king would choose what happened to them both," He asked. Inuyasha shook his head."Either just the demon would die; only the human would die, both demon and human would die, or the king would be generous and let you both live, but for a small price. For example, being his slave in the castle. Unfortunately, the last consequence has never been done."

"Dad, what does all of this have to do with mom?" Inuyasha's voice started to get concerned.

"Well, son, as you now know, your mother was a human and she fell in love with a demon. This demon had a son from his previous mate, who died a long time ago. The demon and your mother, Izayoi became mates and had a son. They both kept their son a secret from everyone, for if anyone found out he was a half breed, they would have killed him. However, the demons did find out about the demon and Izayoi, so they brought them to the castle to where the king was. There, the king would make the decision of what was to happen to them both. He sentenced Izayoi to a horrible death filled with torture, and for the demon, he had to watch them kill her slowly and painfully and live a long, broken life without her." Inutaisho sighed. "The demon was, obviously, me, and you were the son we were hiding. The demon king still doesn't know that you were the son we were protecting. He thinks you were from my precious mate. But, be cautious my son, because if he ever finds out that you are a half breed, he will kill you." Inuyasha thought a bit, letting all this new information sink into his mind.

"There was this toad demon in the forest," Inuyasha began. "He was looking for Sesshoumaru. We ran into him, well, actually, he ran into us, literally, and he new that I was a half breed."

"Was this toad demon's name Jaken?" Inutaisho asked.

"How did you know?"

"Jaken was a, well, a friend of the family, if you want to call him that. He has been by my side for a very long time. When Sesshoumaru never came back home, I sent Jaken to search for him and make sure he's safe. Of course, Sesshoumaru doesn't know why Jaken is really there. Jaken comes here once in a while to report what's going on with Sesshoumaru. …wait… 'we'? Who's 'we'?"

"Uh…" Inuyasha paused. 'Dammit! What do I say now?' He thought. Inuyasha opened and closed his mouth trying to think of what to say next, but before he could, a soft voice spoke behind him. 'Kagome!' He had forgotten all about Kagome being there because she was so quiet. She had been listening this entire time.

"Me and Inuyasha, sir." Inutaisho was in shock to see her standing in front of him.

"Inuyasha," Inutaisho whispered, leaning in towards his son. "If she's found here, she could be killed. We demons are not allowed to let humans enter our kingdom. It is to be reported to the King. You know this! Why is she here?"

"Dad, please don't tell anyone that she's here and that we are together," Inuyasha said with serious, sad eyes. No one could resist his wishes whenever he gave you that look. Inutaisho nodded slowly, understanding his son's situation.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the front door and voices started yelling.

"Mr. Takahashi, we were notified that you have a human visiting your residence."

"I'm sorry; I have no idea what you are talking about. No one is here, but me," Inutaisho yelled back at the door and then smiled at his son. "Go Inuyasha," he whispered. "I will handle it from here."

"Thank you, Dad."

"Oh, and Inuyasha, there is a sword for you in the back room. Take it. It may come in handy in your travels." Inuyasha nodded.

"Please, sir, let us inspect the area. Kings orders."

"Yes, yes I'm coming,"

Inuyasha grabbed Kagome's hand and led her to the back window. He took the sword and tied it around his waist. As his dad answered the door and stall the king's guards, Inuyasha jumped out the window, turned around to help Kagome out. She jumped on his back and he ran away as fast as he could.

"Where are we going now," Kagome asked.

"We're going to find Jaken. Where Jaken is, there has to be a Sesshoumaru nearby."

Inuyasha jumped from tree branch to tree branch, trying to pick up Jaken's scent. When he finally caught his scent he followed it until he reached the end.

"There you are, you toad!" Inuyasha yelled and landed right in front of Jaken.

"Ah! You again! What are you doing?"

"I'm here to find my brother, Sesshoumaru. Now, take me to him!"

"I'm sorry, like I said before, my lord would never want to see or speak to a half demon." Inuyasha growled and fake pounced at him.

"You think I won't do it just because I have a human with me? My Dad told me about you. Now, Sesshoumaru," He said threatening him with his claws. Jaken flinched and begged for mercy.

"Ah! Please don't hurt me! I'll take you to him! I'll take you to him! Just please don't hurt me! Follow me…"

"Good, you're finally cooperating," Inuyasha said proudly.

Jaken led Inuyasha and Kagome deeper into the forest. They were following a stream, when they finally reached the spot.

"Wait here," Jaken insisted. "I'll get him." Jaken walked out of their sight and Inuyasha's hearing.

"How do you know he's going to come back?" Kagome asked.

"Well, if he doesn't I can follow his scent and we're having roasted toad tonight!"

Kagome laughed and sat down under a tree. Inuyasha followed her and sat in front of her, admiring her.

"What?" She asked.

"Nothing," replied.

"There has to be something you're looking at me funny."

"Why, can't I look at you?"

"Yes," Kagome giggled. "Oh, I have something for you."

"You have something for me? What is it?"

"You have to close your eyes," She smiled. He closed his eyes. "No peeking!"

"I'm not!"

"Okay, open your eyes."

"What did you do?" He asked, tilting his head slightly to the right. "You didn't do anything."

"Yes, I did," she giggled harder. "What? You were thinking that I was going to do something else, weren't you."

"No, I wasn't!" He blushed and turned away from her to hide his face.

"You're blushing aren't you? You were thinking of something else! What did you think I was going to do?"

"Nothing. And that's exactly what you did!" Inuyasha stood up.

"I'm going to get the roasted toad now.

"I-nu-ya-sha."

"Eh?" Inuyasha turned around.

"Sit."

"Agh!" Inuyasha went face first into the ground. "What was that? What did you do to me?" He looked frantically all over himself. "Theeeeese! Ah! Kagome! Get them off! What are they!"

"They're beads from my village. Lady Kaede, the priestess, gave them to me. She told me that if I ever found a demon I could control it. (kinda) By saying sit, you sit."

"Agh! Agh!"

"Oops sorry," she chuckled.

"No, you're not! Get them off!" He attempted to take off the beaded necklace, but it wouldn't leave him. "Kagome!" While they were arguing, Jaken came screaming out from the woods.

"Run!"

So y'all! how'd you like it? Reeeviiieew Pleeeaase! It makes me want to write more!
Thanks!
