Chapter 6
"InuYasha?" Izayoi asked.
"Yes."
"Oh my god..."
Kagome started to think. Izayoi seemed to know InuYasha. Then she remembered! That grave! The one that InuYasha had left flowers on every time they passed it on their journey! It had said "Izayoi" and she remembered that Myoga (spelling?) had once said that InuYasha's MOTHER had been a beautiful woman named Izayoi! But it had been over 200 hundred years since she died!
"Are you the mate of this miko?"
"Yes. . ." InuYasha narrowed his eyes. 'Some thing's off about this woman, she can't have a jewel shard. Kagome would have noticed in an instant. Plus that there aren't anymore jewel shards. How does she smell like Kikyo? Kikyo killed the woman who had brought her back. . . unless this woman was made prior to that day. . . I know her from somewhere. . .'
"So," Izayoi said "Kagome, you said your mate was a half demon, half dog-demon. You never mentioned his name. . ."
"I didn't?"
"No."
Then InuYasha cut in. "What do I have to do with you?"
"Wait! InuYasha. . ." Kagome said. She tried to get up and Izayoi attempted to help but InuYasha growled at her and told her to keep away. He then himself helped her up. As he did, Kagome yanked on one of his fuzzy dog ears and muttered something about being rude. When Kagome was on her feet, she slowly moved closer to Izayoi and looked her in the face. "No way." she said.
"What?" InuYasha said.
"It's really you," Kagome said.
"What?" InuYasha said again.
Izayoi looked in the miko's eyes and saw recognition. "Yes."
"What? Who? What the hell is going on!"
"Izayoi, are you his. . ?"
"My what? I don't get this!. . . wait. . . did you just say her name is Izayoi?" InuYasha's eyes widened as he looked at his mate.
"Yes. Yes I am."
