Chapter 8

In the morning…

Kagome turned over one last before she opened her eyes. She opened them to see she was looking at Inuyasha sleeping. She blinked and found Inuyasha looking back at her.

"Good morning," Kagome whispered

"Morning." Inuyasha said, "I think we should getup."

She nodded and they both got up.

"Nice gown, you should have wore it on our date," Inuyasha joked

"What?" Kagome blushed

"Joking," Inuyasha said. 'Sort of,' He thought

" Um… Inuyasha wait," Kagome said sitting down on the bed. Inuyasha came to the bed and sat down beside her.

"Thanks for staying with me last night," Kagome said

"No problem," Inuyasha shrugged

"I had an awesome time with you on Friday," Kagome continued

"Yeah, it was … different … and fun," he commented. His smile became a slight frown.

"Kagome… Why were you crying yesterday?" Inuyasha asked

"I had a dream, and at first it started good but then everything went wrong," She said, her eyes filling with tears.

Inuyasha gently wiped them off before they spilled down. Kagome once more embraced him, and he returned her embrace. After a few moments they let go.

"Where the nearest bathroom?" Kagome asked

"My room, Sesshomaru's room and there is one more down stairs in the basement," Inuyasha said

"Can I use the one in your room?" she asked

"Sure go ahead," he said exiting her room and closing the door.

Kagome put on a long T-shirt, got her stuff and walked to Inuyasha's room. Kagome knocked on the door.

"Come in," Inuyasha said. Kagome came into the room and closed the door.

"It's over there," Inuyasha pointed to his right, while packing his bag.

"Thanks," Kagome said smiling. She went in the bathroom and freshened up. After about 20 minutes, she was drying her hair. She came out of the bathroom with a towel around her and she ran back to her room. She dried off, changed into her white and blue uniform, and went into the kitchen. She took a seat and sat down, placing her bag beside her.

"Good morning," Kagome exclaimed.

"Morning." Rin said with the same amount of happiness, "What's for breakfast?"

"Toast," Sesshomaru said, as Kagome stood up.

"I'll be right back. I just need to get some stuff," Kagome said. She went through the kitchen door and went to the house next door to get the mail and she came back.

'Bills, bills, advertisement, Yuki…Yuki?' Kagome thought and she opened it. It said:

Dear Kagome,

Sorry I've been ignoring you about everything, but I have great news. Remember Takeshi and the TFC? Well we're a couple. Turns out Shinji was using me but now I'm with Takeshi and I'm so happy. He sang three songs for me so far and said he loves. And I believe it's true. We kissed at the dance under the stars and beside the fountain, it was so mystical. He also gave me this silver necklace with a diamond heart. I think, no, I know that I'm in love with him. Please talk to me or visit.

With love,

Yuki

Kagome brought the letter to her heart and hugged it. She was smiling even more. She put the letter down and saw that inside the envelope there were pictures. One of the pictures was of Takeshi and Yuki dancing. One was where Takeshi was singing to Yuki. And the last picture was of the pendant. The envelope also contained a piece of paper with a number on it.

"Um… can I use the phone?" Kagome asked

"Sure," Rin said. Kagome took the phone and dialed the number. The phone was ringing.

"Hello!" Someone said

"Hello?" Kagome started, "Yuki?"

"Yes it's me." The girl said, "Kagome is that you?"

"The one and only," Kagome said

"How are you?"

"I'm great but I guess your life is even better because of Takeshi," Kagome laughed

"That's true." Yuki blushed, "But I still wish you were here with us."
"Same here." Kagome said, "I was just checking up on you."

"We're fine!" Yuki exclaimed

"We?" Kagome questioned

"Me and Takeshi that is."

"So you guys, are like married?" Kagome giggled

"Kagome! No, we're just… together." Yuki said, "Well, how are things going with you now?"

"I'm fine really. I've got new friends. Rin, Sango, Miroku, Sesshomaru and Inuyasha," Kagome babbled

"Wait… hold on… did you say Inuyasha?" Yuki pondered

"Yeah I did," Kagome said curiously

"Kagome… isn't Inuyasha the one from the feudal era? The half demon? The love of your life?" Yuki asked. Kagome fell back on the chair hitting her head hard.

"Are you okay?" Rin whispered as Kagome nodded.

"What?" Kagome said getting up

"You don't remember? You told me you loved him, but he loved you and Kikyo," Yuki finished

"Who's Ki-Kikyo?" Kagome asked. As soon as she said that, Inuyasha jumped.

"Kikyo, why did you say that?" Inuyasha demanded

Staring into Inuyasha's eyes, Kagome was speechless. But after a moment's hesitation she talked, "Yuki I've got to be going but I'll talk to you later.'

"Bye," Yuki said

"Bye," Kagome said turning off the phone. Kagome picked up the chair and tucked it in the table. She placed her bag on her shoulders, took her breakfast and said:

"I'm walking." And rushed out of the house.

"Did anyone tell her?" Inuyasha turned to Rin

"NO!" Rin said. Inuyasha got up.

"Maybe you told her but you forgot yesterday when you were in bed together," Sesshomaru said

"No." Inuyasha paused, "Were you snooping?"

"Door was open," Sesshomaru said getting the car keys.

Back to Kagome

"If I did and do love him, how could I forget?" She asked herself. She was now at the school.

"And who's Kikyo?" She said, as someone stopped her.

"Wait." Sango said, "How do you know about Kikyo?"

Ding-Ding

"Let's talk about this later," Kagome said

In Class

"Where's Rin?" Kagome asked

"After you left, her stomach started to hurt a lot so she went to the doctor's," Inuyasha said

"Class, settle down." The teacher said, "I few announcements. First, we're having the e-change program. In a month our visitor will be with our class for 3 months and someone in our class will go to Beijing, for 3 months. Second is the dance competition!"

"Sir, what competition?" A girl named Hikari asked.

"It's a dance competition. 4 people from our school have been chosen to participate. The competition has been moved from December to June. 3 people from our class have been chosen: Kagome, Rin and Inuyasha!" Mr. Okra said, "But back to work! One person from each group raise you hand if you're done." Every group was done but one.

"Let's get started on our presentations then," The teacher said

At Lunch

"Where are you going?" Sango asked

"Home," Kagome said

Kagome grabbed her bag and headed home. On her way she was thinking of what Yuki said.

'Inuyasha, from the feudal era, a half demon, … and the … love of my… life?' Kagome thought as she entered the house that she was staying at. She saw Rin wearing her sleeping wear, watching TV.

"Hey Rin," Kagome said taking a seat beside Rin on the coach.

"Hey," Rin said. Both girls seemed sad.

"Still thinking of who Kikyo is?" Rin asked flicking the channels.

"Yeah, but how do you know Kikyo?" Kagome asked

"I know her and hate her," Rin said

"Who is she?" Kagome asked

"I guess I better tell you beginning," Rin said

"Kikyo is/was a priestess. She and Inuyasha loved each other. But Naraku messed with their hearts and made them think that the other betrayed. Kikyo bounded Inuyasha to a tree and she died with the Shikon Jewel. 50 years later somehow the Shikon Jewel was found again and it was split into many pieces. And well Inuyasha was free from the tree. … But there's like were missing something. All I know is that Sesshomaru is a demon, Inuyasha is a half demon, and for me, I am a human." Rin finished

"How is that's possible?"

"We think we all had a past life since we got these flashbacks. And since Sesshomaru and Inuyasha have been changing," Rin explained

Leaving that aside Kagome asked, "Rin can you take to the feudal era?"

"Kagome I can't. Sesshomaru and Inuyasha can but I just follow," Rin said

"Then can you show me where you go?" Kagome reaching for her back. She took something out and put it into her pocket; while Rin put on a long T-shirt that reached her knees. They went to the back yard. Where there was a little house with a well. The girls sat at the rim of the well.

"Rin take my hand, I want to try something," Kagome said. Rin took Kagome's hand and they both jumped. They started to climb up the well, obviously in the feudal era.

"Kagome how did you do that?" Rin asked

Kagome took something out of her pocket. It was a Shikon Jewel shard.

"Kagome?" Rin asked, as they were nearing the scared tree. Kagome explained what she knew and what Yuki said.

"Oh," Rin said. Kagome stood up. She climbed the tree, where there was an arrow. She touched and pulled out the arrow. She then touched that spot. Once she did so winds blew strong. And Kagome remembered everything as fell down.

"Rin, did you feel that?" Kagome asked

"Kagome, if there was a spell, I think you just broke it," Rin said. After a few moments of thinking they started to talk again.

"Now that we found out what's the matter with me, what's up with you?" Kagome asked

"Don't tell anyone. Okay?" Rin said

"Sure," Kagome said. Rin whispered something to Kagome.

"You sure?" Kagome said. Rin nodded.

They went to their time. They stepped out of the shrine, into the kitchen to find Sesshomaru and Inuyasha waiting.

"Kagome if I think what happened, happened then you should talk to Inuyasha," Rin said. She left the kitchen and walked off to the feudal era with Sesshomaru following.

"Kagome what did you do? I remember everything. All the blanks and all the feelings," Inuyasha said "But how?" He asked

"The place where you were bounded to the tree, I took out the arrow and I touched that place. And I also remember everything," Kagome answered

In the Feudal Era

Rin was around a water area. She took of her T-shirt and went into the spring for a swim, in her sleepwear.

She flowed for a few moments and got out to find her T-shirt missing. And then a demon came out of trees.

"Who are you?" Rin asked

"It doesn't matter human because you're going to die!" the demon said throwing the shirt at Rin. Rin caught it and put it on.

"I wouldn't be so sure," Rin said getting in position. But she was swiped from the ground. The next thing she knew she was at home.

"What are you thinking?" Sesshomaru asked

3 weeks later

"I might have not had the chance to before but now I will," Rin said. She was again preparing to battle with the same demon. But once more she was swiped off her feet.

"Are you trying to kill yourself?" Inuyasha asked

"What the hell are you doing? You know just leave me alone," Rin said. She jumped through the well and went home to her room.

The next evening

Everyone sat at the table eating. There was silence everywhere.

" I can't take this anymore!" Inuyasha said, "Rin what the hell is wrong with you?" he stood up. "You're trying to kill yourself and you hate everyone. Do you want us to be dead?" Rin stood up as well. She went up in front of Inuyasha and she smiled. And she slapped him hard across the face.

Still smiling she said:

"Don't ever say that again or you'll live to regret it," Rin said changing moods.

"You know, you… are the dumbest person ever. Have you ever thought that I'm acting like this not only for me, but also for people I care about? Have you ever thought it had to do with you, Kagome and… and someone else," Rin said calmly and she left with no smile on her face.

In Rin's room

Kagome came.

"Kagome I'll be okay. You can go, I'm going somewhere," Rin said.

After a few hours, Rin came to the living room. She saw that everyone was watching TV. She tapped Sesshomaru on the shoulder. She gave him the signal to follow her; so he did. They went to the feudal era. She took him to the spring. She placed her feet in the water as Sesshomaru stood against a tree.

"Do you know?" Rin asked

"What?" Sesshomaru said

"Three weeks ago, I heard Kikyo was coming back," She said

"Today I went to a scribe who sees the future and I found out I was right," Rin said sadly, standing up.

One week later

"Class, we have the exchange student." The teacher said, "Please come in." The person came in.

"Why now?" Rin said

"Crap!" Sango said quietly

"Wonderful!" Mikoru said.

Ding-ding.

"Ki-Kikyo," Inuyasha said.

"What?" Kagome asked.
