Summery: my first fic. with the Inuyasha gang all was not as it seemed but what happens when Kagome's secret is revealed? How will her friends react? How will their enemies react? Pairings KxI MxS and maybe some KxA
pointless rambling, skip if you want
Hey it's me again, I'm sooooooooooo sorry that it took me so long to update but my mom sent me to an all girls private school and I get swamped with exams every nine weeks (I think) cuz of our weird block schedule and I can't tell you where I go cuz if I did then they could expell me for writing anything that they don't approve if I even put the initials in. Ugh it's horrible, I wish I went to a public school, all the girls make fun of my locker with my Inuyasha, naruto and various other anime and manga stuff in it, have you ever had your locker TP-ed it's a pain in the ass to get it all out and someone stuck gum on Inuyasha's face cuz my locker doesn't lock
my apologies
my sincerest apologies to all those who read and reviewed my story, I didn't have time to update but I'll try to update as much as I can and I'm making this chapter as long as I can before I run out of ideas for it and my hands cramp up. I love you all and please don't kill me for not updating

---last time---
"What's the antidote?!" she asked panicking forgetting all about the fact that the demon wanted to kill her too
the demon smirked "a mixture of–"
---his time---
The demon suddenly collapsed and appeared to be shrinking. It's spikes seeming to seep back into the skin it's fangs shrinking to Human sized teeth, it's demonic aura fading till it disappeared all together, leaving a hanyou boy in torn clothing with purple hair and claws sitting dazed on the ground.
Wha-what happened," the strange boy asked "where am I? Where's Outou-sama?" then he gasped looking around seeing the purple spikes that littered the field "d-did I hurt anyone?" he asked terrified then noticing the scratch on her arm his eyes widened
"Oh gods," the boy said, "quickly prepare the antidote as fast as you can! Get ginseng root, and the bark of the God tree in Inuyasha Forest, then boil them in the water of the spring atop the mountain Kouhei, and make who ever I hurt drink it, my poison isn't that strong so it will take a while to kill you but you will become very sick, if you can not wake and have an extremely bad fever that's when you have only three days left to live, I am extremely sorry but I must leave before I cause any more damage"
The hanyou boy limped into the forest, no one here had hurt him but Kagome new that something horrible had to have happened to him in order for him to loose to his demon side like that, and she felt sorry for him and wanted to help but knew she couldn't, not now at least
Inuyasha burst into the clearing, sword drawn and teeth bared "Where is he!?" he snarled "where's that demon I'll kill him!"
"You just missed him" Kagome said hurriedly "but their's no time to–"
she was cut off by Inuyasha who was inspecting her for injuries, as soon as he found the one on her arm he growled "he hurt you" Inuyasha stated "every single time I let you out of my sight you get hurt" he scolded, more to himself than anyone else
"Inuyasha it's nothing, really" Kagome said smiling at Inuyasha
"It doesn't matter" Inuyasha said gruffly "He hurt you, he hurt my Kagome" he said stressing "my"
"Inuyasha it's just a scratch, and plus he didn't know what he was doing" she said still feeling sorry for the boy "he was only half demon, Inuyasha, something horrible must've happened to him to make him lose control like he did"
Inuyasha just growled but decided to let the boy live a little longer 'I'll teach him not to touch my Kagome later' he thought to himself
Inuyasha sniffed once, twice then his eyes widened "K-Kagome you reek of poison" he said scared for "his kagome"
"yeah," kagome said looking down allowing her bangs to cover her face, "so does shippo..."
Inuyasha picked her up bridle style and quickly sniffed out shippo and Kohana. When he reached them Shippo was lying on the ground curled up in a ball holding his bleeding arm in pain his eyes shut tight, the purple spike lying a few feet away. Kohana was screaming and crying "shippo get up, please, get up" and "Shippo what's wrong"
Inuyasha set Kagome down and they both rushed to the two youngsters "Tou-san, Kaa-chan!" Kohana shouted temporarily throwing Inuyasha off "can you help shippo, is he going to be alright?"
"Yeah," Kagome said, "there's an antidote so stop worrying Inuyasha, it bother my nose"
"Then tell me what it is Kagome!!!!" he yelled, but not in a mean way, in a caring and worried way.
Kagome's ears flattened from the sudden loud noise and she glared at Inuyasha "don't yell so loud please" she said while she began to clean and wrap Shippo's wound, "it's ginseng root, and the bark of the God tree in Inuyasha Forest, then boil them in the water of the spring atop the mountain Kouhei, and me and shippo have to drink it."
"Feh, that'll be simple" Inuyasha said trying to act strong and give kagome hope so she'd smile again.
Kagome finished to wrapping shippos wound and cradled him in her arms her bangs covering her eyes as tears dripped down onto shippos face, she shook him gently and called his name softly "shippo, shippo wake up shippo baby" no response only his harsh breathing "Shippo?" she asked louder this time "Shippo! SHIPPO!!" She wailed falling down to her knees "wake up, please wake up" she whispered to the kitsune in her arms as Kohana also began to call his name again sobbing loudly.
Inuyasha gathered his family in his arms in a comforting hug "shhhh, shhh it's ok," he cooed very un-inuyasha like, "we'll get all the stuff ok? The God tree isn't to far from here and I'm sure the old hag has some ginseng, I'll go get the water ok?"
"A-Alone?" Kagome asked through tears
"yes, it's faster that way" he said not wanting to leave Kagome when she needed him most, but he knew that if he didn't things would get a lot worse for both Kagome and shippo.
"Y-You h-have to do it in th-three days or shippo will- shippo will" she bagan to sob into Inuyasha's haori
Inuyasha got what she meant, if he wasn't back in three days, shippo would die, Inuyasha could feel shippo's unnaturally warm temperature through the hug. Immediately inuyasha ran them all back to Kaede's and barked at miroku to go get bark from the God tree and for Kaede to prepare ginseng for an antidote and that if anyone needed anything else to ask Kagome. Then he left for Kouhei mountain and the final ingredient.
"What is going on child?" kaede asked Kagome
"Me and shippo, we were poisoned by a hanyou who had lost control of his demon and there's an antidote that needs to be ready in three days or shippo, shippo will" she stopped not able to finish the sentence.
"Aye child, poor shippo and ye, but Inuyasha will never let that happen" Kaede said as She watched Miroku scurry away after his encounter with inuyasha. Then she walked into her hut and began to grind up ginseng for the antidote.
With Inuyasha
He ran as fast as his feet could carry him towards the mountain
"I won't fail you Kagome!!" He yelled to the sky vowing to the gods in heaven themselves that he would not fail his friends and new found family
then it started to rain. It rained as though the Gods were testing the love that he had for Kagome and his small family of orphaned demon children. The rain pounded down on him and shielded the sun from his eyes causing him to loose track of his way to keep time. The wind tried to blow him back and to keep him from getting to where he needed to go and felt like hands grabbing him and trying to pull him back to kagome in order to watch her suffer and die, but not before he had to watch his and kagome's adopted son suffer even more before he died before either of them. He howled in frustration and continued to growl as he ran against all odds, against the force of a corrupted crowd of gods looking for entertainment in the silver haired hanyou.
Kaede's
"Inuyasha" Kagome whispered as the rain pounded against the side of the hut "inuyasha please don't forget to take care of yourself and come back to me, come back to all of us ok" then she fell over unconscious, the young hanyou had underestimated his poison and it had grown and become more concentrated after his time of not using it so it was much quicker than he thought and was already beginning to kill the two poisoned family members.
"Kagome?" Sango asked "Kagome?! Oh my Gods, Kaede Kagome is passed out already!!"
"Kaa-chan!!!!!" Kohana yelled her tears starting up again
Kaede ran to her side "I pray ye inuyasha, came back soon or ye shall loose ye lover and ye adopted son shippo" she said while placing a hand on Kagome's forehead. "Ye monk come hither and bring a cold cloth and blankets, ye friend Kagome has been taken ill by her poison"
Inuyasha
Inuyasha felt a sharp pang through his chest, he knew something had happened to Kagome and this fueled his need to accelerate even more. He did something he would have never done on normal circumstances, he called for help but not just help from anyone, Kouga's help.
"KOUGA!!!!!!!" He yelled with all his might "KOUGA, KAGOME NEEDS YOUR HELP, I NEED YOUR HELP, KOUGA!!"
two whirl winds approached inuyasha at an alarming speed "that had better be kouga and Ayme, cuz if it's not I'm gonna die" he said to himself
"Oi Mutt" Kouga said stopping in front of Inuyasha "what's up, why the heck would you need my help" Kouga asked while holding onto Ayame by her waist who was giggling despite the rain.
"Could you help me out?" Inuyasha asked putting his pride aside for Kagome's sake "I need to get a bucket of water from Kouhei Mountain, Kagome's been poisoned and it's the last ingredient, please kouga, I couldn't bear to loose her" he looked away not wanting anyone to even smell his tears
"Wow, mutt, you must really love her," kouga said surprised "I didn't think you could cry. We'll help you out, right Aya?"
Ayame nodded then smiled taking Kouga's hand and beginning to run towards the mountain. Inuyasha began to follow them still determined to help Kagome, suddenly a rock uprooted itself and hit him square in the gut winding him badly, but he got back up again and kept going.
Kaede's the next day
"Inuyasha" Kagome mumbled in her sleep
Sango sighed, that's all she'd been saying since she passed out, Inuyasha had left yesterday and Kagome had passed out five hours after he left. Kagome and shippo had kept on getting worse and worse
Kaede came back into the room after she had finished grinding the bark and mixing it with the ginseng she had already ground up. "If Inuyasha does not return hither by sun down Kagome and Shippo will die, I'm sorry to inform ye of this but ye need to know, the poison was stronger than we thought."
at this Sango couldn't help it anymore, she burst into tears sobbing loudly by her two friends. Miroku rushed to her side embracing her as she cried into his chest
"shhhh my dear Sango I'm sure Inuyasha will return soon, have faith in him." he said as a tear managed to slip down his face.
Inuyasha
He had gotten the bucket from Kouga and Ayame and reached the hut just in time to hear Kaede's announcement from a little way off, his heart wrenched in his chest but he kept going 'if I hadn't asked Kouga for help, she would have died, I wouldn't have made it.' he thought
He bursted into the hut startling Sango so bad that she fell backwards and while catching her, Miroku ended up falling over but twisted to save Sango from taking the blow and ended up smacking his head on the ground. The two got up a bit disgruntled but happy to see Inuyasha all the same.
"OLD HAG!!!" Inuyasha Bellowed
"Aye, aye I am right here" she said covering her ears
"Here" he said handing her the bucket like it was glass and it might break at any second, spilling it's precious contents and causing the death of both Kagome and Shippo.
After about twenty minutes of Inuyasha's nonstop foot tapping, boiling water, mixing ingredients, and Kaede telling Inuyasha that it wasn't ready yet after his repetitive question of is it done yet, it was done. Kaede split the concoction into two proportions leaving a good amount still in the pot incase anyone came upon the scene of the hanyou's loss of control and was scratched by a spike.
Inside Kagome's head
"Stupid Half breed" a familiar voice said
Kagome opened her eyes to see that she was no longer in Kaede's hut but was lying in a field. Suddenly she felt a sharp pain in her side, some one had kicked her. She turned to see Kikyou standing over her. Kagome jumped to her feet and growled.
"What do you want Kikyou?" she snarled
"Be careful of what you do to annoy me here, I'm in your dream, your poison induced dream." Kikyou said smirking.
"It was you" kagome realized "you're the one who hurt the hanyou boy and caused him to rampge in his demon form!"
"Oh your so smart, aren't you?" Kikyou cooed in mock praise "do you want a doggie treat now?"
Kagome growled even louder looking for something to use as a weapon.
"Look me in the eye you filthy little hanyou" Kikyou spat
"I don't take orders from you!" kagome yelled glaring at her right in the eye and suddenly feeling a sharp pain in her chest collapsed.
Back with the rest of the gang
"Hurry Hag, she's in pain" Inuyasha said while holding Kagome's hand as he sat next to her, "don't die on me Kagome"
"Aye, aye let me finish giving shippo his"
Kagome's mind again
"What was that?!" Kagome growled
"Oh, just a little purification, and I need to tell you something," Kikyou said smiling as she walked to kagome and pet kagome's hair receiving a loud growl from kagome, "whatever hurts you here," Kikyou pulled Kagome's hair back, hard, so that she could look into her eyes and purify her that way, through her eyes and right to her soul, "hurts you for real"
Kagome could feel herself being purified and the pain was unbearable, then she had an idea, Kikyou can't purify my soul if she can't see my eyes. Kagome snapped her eyes closed and clenched them shut wrenching her hair out of Kikyou's grasp at the same time. Kagome jumped back keeping her eyes closed the whole time.
"Don't you hide your eyes from me!!" Kikyou screamed "Open them and look at me!!! Let me kill you, you filthy half breed!!"
"Never," Kagome said defiantly "I have someone to live for, actually someones. For once in my life they except me and, and they love me" tears fell from her shut eyes "for me, and I love them. I have Two children, even if they weren't mine originally they are now, and I have Inuyasha" Kikyou visibly flinched at this, "I have Kaede, you little sister, who's like a mother to me, I have Sango who's like my big sister, and Miroku, even if he is a pervert he's still apart of me and my family! I won't let anyone take me away from them, especially you, Kikyou!"
Kikyou was extremely angered by Kagome and her Miko powers had come up forming an alarming purple aura around herself
"NO!" Kikyou screamed at Kagome "NO! YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS DO YOU?! I AM GOING TO KILL YOU NOW AND YOU'LL HAVE NO ONE AND I'LL SEND YOU TO HELL WITHOUT ME THEN I'LL CALL INUYASHA TO ME AFTER I STEAL YOUR APPEARANCE, AND THEN YOU'LL BE MISERABLE, NOT ME!!!" She screamed while launching herself at Kagome.
"I'm sorry Kikyou, for causing you so much pain" Kagome said opening her eyes and her arms to receive the priestess who was intent upon killing her.
Suddenly Kikyou and the field disappeared and Kagome found herself in Kaede's hut once again with all of her family around her. Suddenly she was engulfed in a huge group hug, even shippo, who was feeling much better now, had managed to find his way in.
"Kaa-chan!!" Kohana yelled happily through her tears while hugging her new mother.
"Okaa-chan!!" Shippo matched Kohana's hapiness
even Miroku had managed to keep his hands to himself and was hugging her, Sango too. Most importantly Inuyasha had returned to her and he was waiting his turn to be able to hug her, she could see the tears welled up in his eyes she pried herself away and went to him she jumped on him almost throwing him off balance but neither of them cared. Inuyasha cried into her hair and Kagome Hugged him tightly
"I promise I'll never leave you, ever" she said quietly into his Haori
"And I'll never leave you, Kagome" he said hugging her a little bit tighter
so what'd you think of my latest chapter? And should I pair up Shippo and Kohana or make their only relationship to be adopted brother and sister, remember that they are in no way related in my story. And one again I apologize for not updating for a while. Gomenasai, gomen, gomen, gomen. I am so sorry, so sorry, so sorry, so sorry, so sorry.
