A/N: I'm getting writer's block. . .

BlueMouse: WE NEED MORE FUNNY!! The last chapter wasn't very funny at all . . .

Kara: We couldn't fit a lot of 'funny,' as you call it, into the last chapter. At least . . . not without it looking stupid. Besides you need to prepare for some angst.

Me: DISCLAIMER!!

Chapter 3: Secrets Revealed

Kaira was silently weeping on her bed with her head cradled in her hands. She heard the window open and looked up to find a tired but cheerful Yumi climbing into the room. "How do you climb that tree out there so easily?!" She asked panting with her hands on her knees.

Kaira couldn't help but give a small smile at this. Yumi noticed that she had been crying and went over to her side. "Hey . . . what's wrong? Is it Seiji-kun?" Kaira gave a mental sigh. That girl was obsessed with Seiji.

As Yumi ranted, Kaira tuned her out with a sigh and flopped backwards onto her bed. 'I'm adopted, and I never knew. Why did my parents never tell me?' Maybe they were afraid? 'Afraid of what?' she thought. 'And who are you?' she asked referring to the other voice in her head. Sorry can't answer that. Not until your real parents tell you. And to answer your first question, your foster parents were probably afraid of a reaction like the one you gave them. Kaira groaned. "My life is going horribly wrong." she muttered.

"Huh?" Yumi snapped out of her rant and saw Kaira staring at the ceiling. "Ok. This is something other than boys . . ." she said. "What happened?" She demanded.

Kaira cracked a small smile at her friend's concern and sat up. "Well, I just found out that I'm adopted . . ." she muttered.

Yumi gasped and placed her hands over her mouth.

"That's not the worst part." Kaira said with her eyes tearing up.

Yumi went to sit down next to Kaira on the bed. "What's the worst part?" she asked.

"The worst part is-" she choked a bit fighting back tears. Yumi started rubbing her back with one hand to try and calm her down. It helped. "My-my biological father's going to take me away in three weeks. Yumi, I'm going to have to leave." she said and started crying again.

The next day, Kaira woke up red-eyed and had a serious case of bed-head. Yumi had left at around 8 so as not to worry her parents and Kaira had cried herself to sleep. She looked over at the clock.

"10:27?!" She shouted. This was imposible. Her parents NEVER let her sleep in on school days. 'Foster parents.' she reminded herself bitterly. She quickly dressed and rushed downstairs to find said parents waiting for her in the dining room.

"Kaira there's no need to rush. We called you in sick today. We need to talk." Her 'father' said.

Kaira took a seat across from them and glared at her foster dad. "Oh NOW you decide to talk. AFTER I've found out about the little 'secret'" she placed the word "secret" in finger quotes.

Kaira's 'mother' tried to reason with the angry girl. The truth was, the red eyes and bed head made Kaira look ferocious. "Now, Kaira, please listen to us. We were going to tell you when you turned 16 but . . . it seems you found out before then." She then placed her right hand over her heart and raised her left hand in the air. "Honest!" she swore.

Kaira sighed and stopped glaring. "Fine. What is it you have to tell me." Her thought process, however was a different story altogether. 'Keh. Yeah right. They were never going to tell me. They just don't want me mad at them anymore.' So you're going to stay mad at them just to defy them? That doesn't really make sence. 'Just shut up.' Nope you're stuck with me. Kaira could almost see the voice giving a smug grin if it had a face. 'Oh Kami, I hate you.' Hmm. . . odd how you could hate yourself. '. . .' That's what I thought. However, I'm only one fourth of you, and I've been supressed for the past 15 years so it's no wonder why you doubt my existence. 'Kami, this is confusing . . .'

Kaira's foster father started the story. "We received a call from the orphanage late one night. They had found you on their doorstep with a note. Your mother had written the note. I had a crush on her in middle school." Kaira made a face when she heard this and her 'mother' elbowed her 'dad' in the side.

"Hojo. Now is not the time to be reminiscing about that." she scolded him.

Hojo turned a light shade of pink and cleared his throat. "Sorry. You're right Eri." he said. "Anyway, the note said that you should be given to us. When we took you home, we found another note hidden in the blankets you were wrapped up in. Kagome told us that-" but he was cut off by Kaira.

"Kagome?! That was my mom's name?" she asked getting half up from her knees and slamming her hands on the table. 'No way. No way, no way, no WAY!' she thought.

"Um . . . yes. She was a very good friend of mine, but she was always getting sick during middle school." Eri said.

Kaira fell back into a sitting position. She had a dazed expression on her face. 'Kagome. "I had a crush on her in middle school." Kagome. "Yes. She was a very good friend of mine." B-but this isn't possible.' Kaira thought desperately. 'Kagome was- IS a fictional character from the book I was reading!' Ah, but didn't it say that she kept disappearing to her own time and InuYasha followed her constantly to get her back? 

Kaira was brought out of her reverie by snapping fingers. "Kaira? Kaira are you alright?" Her 'father' was leaning across the table and was snapping his fingers in front of her face.

She blinked a few times. "Huh? W-what?"

"You spaced out there sweetie." Eri said worriedly. "You aren't really getting sick are you?"

"N-no. M-may I be excused? I need to think some things over." Without waiting for an answer, she went back to her room and fell down on her bed. 'Kagome and InuYasha mated at one point didn't they? Wait . . . then . . . I'm a WHAT?!'
