Chapter 19: Family ties
Kagome willing made her way into the Higurashi house. She had just crossed over a few minutes before . She was still in shock hearing those seven words : "your mother was a black dog youkai." . Seven little words. They were so insignificant . And yet , meant so much . She was still shocked because she had just gotten a whiff of her mother's scent.
It hadn't really stood out the last time she was there. Just the normal mom smell : home cooked food , and cleaning supplies mix with her own smell. Cherries. But this time it was different . This time it had the musk of an older female dog youkai mixed in with it. Except , it smelled more like a mother dog . And to Kagome , it seemed so welcoming. Like she could run in the blue house , ( is that right? I can't remember what color it is.) and hug her , and release all her feelings at one time . Also to just break down and cry over nothing .
Kagome was knocking at the door by now . When she saw the face that opened the door , she nearly fainted.
It was her mom. Except she had several new editions. Kiko's ears were instead of on the sides of her face, swiveling on top of her head. They looked exactly like Kagome's ; little black triangles . " Mom… Are you really a black dog youkai?" Kagome asked in a monotone voice.
" Oh dear… come inside sweetie." Her mother replied. Kagome walked nimbly into the house , her head hung so low that her eyes were shadowed by her bangs. Kiko led her distraught daughter into their living room and sat her down on the couch.
" How … How did you and my father meet?" Kagome squeaked out.
" Well, the same way you and Inuyasha did . I fell threw the well. I had a concealing spell on , I had been about to go to school when I fell in. He saved my life and we fell in love. I had released the concealing spell by then , and not long after you were born." Her mother answered in what sounded like a daze.
"Then … what about Souta?" Kagome asked in a stronger voice, she had to get as many answers as possible before she went back… Which she wanted to leave at that moment.
" Souta's father was from here . So Souta is a hanyou. It's just , after he found out that you were a youkai , he left." Kiko said with a sigh .
"Oh… Well thank you for telling me this information, but why are you a youkai now?"
" Well , I've always been one. I just concealed it. And the spell is so powerful, that no one can tell the difference from if I really was a human or not… unless I want them to. But , the truth is , I'm a hanyou. I had , instead of just a human night, A youkai night as well. My mother, your grand mother, was three fourths youkai, and had me on her human night. So you are three fourths youkai because your father was a youkai. Because you were born on my human night , and at that time I still had some youkai left in me. So you have two nights , one when you are a full-blood, one where you are human." Kiko said the last sentence in a melancholy voice.
Kagome said nothing , before darting out the door and down the well in the old wooden well house.

Kagome reached the hut to see everyone was asleep except for Kikyo , Inuyasha , Kouga , and Sesshomaru .
"hi guys…" Kagome said weakly . she sat down, next to her sleeping bag, where Shippo was snoring softly. She smiled , then joined the majority of her comrades, in a deep welcoming sleep.

Everyone was already up and about , having eaten breakfast. Oddly… Kagome was being trained by Kikyo to help control her still untouched priestess powers. They were working on archery at the moment , Kikyo and Kagome smiling as they talked while training. 'she's not so bad…' Kagome and Kikyo thought about each other. ' I'm going to miss her when she's gone … I think. We're like friends now. Right?" Kagome thought further.

Everyone was in good spirits some how. They had found and acculmulated five jewel shards , within the last two days. Several days before they had gotten an unwelcome invitation to Naraku's castle. At that moment , after Kagura had flown away on her feather, it was decided that Kagome would be trained. Well actually , there had been several arguments about it , concerning that if she didn't know how to fight, that she would end up a fool and an idiot. Not to mention , There had been several 'sits' and a fuming Kagome be fore that was a dressed as a need.
Kikyo , had been able to help Kagome at being a better archer , and how to control her priestess powers to a much higher level then she was previously able to.. While Inuyasha , Sesshomaru , Kouga , and Snago and Miroku had helped her develop her other senses and powers.
And , at this moment, it wasn't going well. Kagome was panting, her opponent as well. Her opponent being , Inuyasha. On the sidelines , Sesshomaru, Sango , Miroku , Shippo , Kouga , his pack , Rin , Jaken ,( Kouga and Sesshomaru had left and brought them ),Kikyo , and Keade were all watching.
Unfortunately , It was Kagome that fell first.
