Hey everyone, I'm back and I hope that you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and are as excited as I am to get to winter break!!(If you're in school that is, lol. Well I got sicker since the last time I updated this story and I went to the doctor but they had no idea what was wrong with me. But they know that I'm not pregnant, my blood is fine, my urine is ok, but my BUN is low. Two Fridays ago I was eating lunch and I felt a pain and the next thing I knew I was on the floor, everyone around me freaking around because I had fainted, so yet again I went to the doctor and he said that there are two nerves in everyone's bodies and that one speeds the heart up and the other slows it down, and the one that slows it down reacted to my pain and so it started slowly to cause my heart to slow down and shut down so I fainted… and he said that it could happen again anytime so I have to be careful. But other than that I have been feeling a little bit better, still sick every now and then but I am ok. Anyway sorry I haven't updated in awhile but I have been really bust, it is getting really close to the end of the semester, and I have final exams this coming Thursday and Friday so I really need to start cracking down and studying to pass them since I have an F in English because my teacher is a dumb bitch that favors people -.-, but anyway after I get this chapter up today that is what is going to be holding me down. Also I had a staff meeting last week for ROTC and our Battalion Commander wants to start having a staff meeting at least once or twice a week when we get back from winter break, and so that also will start holding me down, and just to let everyone know, in the second semester you may not hear from me for a month or two at a time because everything has to be ready for the ROTC Inspection and I am in charge of that so yeah… So now that I have all of that out of the way, thank you to he following people for reviewing my last chapter!!:
Angelblaze2006: Yeah I didn't really want her to have that asses baby, so I thought of the evil plot of her getting pregnant with Inuyasha's because of Kikyo. Yeah, I think I'm going to have it so that Kikyo has told Inuyasha that she planned it when she first seen Kagome, and yeah… lol, hope you enjoy the update!
Tori Lea: Yeah I hate Kikyo too!! But hey you're going to love her for one little thing in this story!! Bringing Inuyasha and Kagome closer together!!

Chapter 8: The Truth Revealed
I stood my ground, not letting him get past me. I could feel his eyes on me, but I was more distracted by the little pitter-patter of feet on the floor from upstairs. 'Stupid baka…' I thought to myself about Miroku
"Um, why don't you just let me go upstairs and get changed? We can go on a walk and talk." I suggested.
He nodded. "Could I possibly come in to wait? I could just stand by the door. It's a bit nippy out here." He stated, looking at me with his deep golden eyes.
I could feel the blush flush onto my face, making my cheeks burn against my cool skin. Feeling the coolness finally reach me I realized that it really was cold. Maybe not cold enough to snow, but it was still pretty cold for San Diego. Not saying that wasn't a good thing, it was getting closer to Christmas, and even if it didn't snow, it was nice to have it colder out so it would be similar to winter. Knocking myself out of my thoughts I focused on the demon that was standing in front of me.
Stepping to the side I smiled at him lightly. "Sorry, I wasn't paying attention to outside. You caught me off guard by showing up today so I was focusing on what I was going to say." I apologized.
He stepped in and I closed the door behind him. "No problem. I'm sorry if I shocked you. I've been really busy lately, so I couldn't come to see you sooner," He paused and looked away, thinking. "Hurry and go change so we can talk. I'll be right here." He said.
I nodded. "Okay, be right back." I said. Not waiting for an answer I turned around and headed upstairs quickly.
"Mommy!" Mizuki yelled as I got up the stairs.
"Shh sweetie." I whispered putting my finger to her lips.
"But mommy, Uncle Miroku said that my daddy is downstairs! Inuyasha is my daddy?!" She asked excitedly.
Looking over at Miroku I glared at him, he looked back at me sadly and whispered I'm sorry, and then went back downstairs to distract Inuyasha. I then turned my attention back to Mizuki. "Baby, I can't talk to you about this right now. All I can tell you is yes Inuyasha is your daddy. But he doesn't know that sweetie, so you cant call him that; you have to call him Inuyasha if you see him, but you can't talk to him tonight ok? Me and him are going out tonight to talk by ourselves. When get back I'll explain more if you are awake okay?" I asked.
She nodded quickly.
I smiled. Even though she was only almost four, she was so smart, and acts so mature for the most part, exactly like him… "Want to pick out what I'm going to wear?" I asked her.
"YES!!" She exclaimed, hopping off her bed and running to my room.
Chuckling I walked to my room to find her sitting on my bed patiently with an outfit in front of her.
I flashed a bright smile towards her, earning one back in return as I closed my door and stepped out of the clothes I had on. Picking up the faded holey blue jeans that she had in front of her I stepped into them, pulling them up to my slim stomach and buttoning them.
Next I picked up the red tank top and slid it on followed by a black wool jacket that had black fur around the hood and the bottom of the sleeves, making it extremely warm. I zipped it up to below my breasts so that some of my red shirt was showing of and then I sat down on the bed reaching up to my ponytail and letting my hair fall free from my hair tie.
"Mommy! These boots! These these!!" She said excitedly.
Laughing I grabbed the black boots with black fur exactly like on my jacket and I sat them by me grabbing the socks out of her hands next. I slipped them on followed by the boots. "Thank you, my little fashion expert." I said kissing her on the cheek.
I tucked my pant legs into the boots and zipped them both up and then stood up and walked towards my mirror and picked up my hairbrush lightly running it through my hair and then put it back down. "Okay. How to I look sweetie?" I asked.
"You look very pretty mama!" She said getting up from her spot on the bed and jumping into my arms.
I smiled down at her. "Lets get you into your room, I'll send Uncle Miroku up to get you when Inuyasha and me leave ok?" I asked.
She nodded quickly and we walked down the hall to her room. I sat her down on her bed and smiled at her. "I love you, I'll be back later." I said hugging her and kissing her cheek.
"I love you too mama." She said returning the hug and kiss.
I stood up straight smiling at her one more time before turning and walking out of her room. As I got to the top of the stairs I heard Miroku's voice followed by Inuyasha's.
"That isn't my point Miroku, I'm not doing this for myself." Inuyasha said angrily.
"Don't expect her to go straight back into your arms." Miroku replied. "She's been hurt a lot… there will be… a lot of confusing days for you."
"Don't think that I do not know this." Inuyasha replied slightly calmer.
"Just take it easy on her, Sango and me cant stand to have her back to the way she was when she first got here three years ago." Miroku said.
After that there was plain silence so I guessed that their conversation was over and I descended down the stairs to find them in the living room sitting down.
"Ready Inuyasha?" I asked.
He looked towards me, as if his eyes were glued to me and he could not remove them no matter what.
"Inuyasha?" I asked.
"Huh? Oh, yeah I'm sorry." He said standing up and taking long strides over to me. "Talk to you later Miroku." He said.
"Have fun, I'll make sure everything is taken care of here Kagome. Don't worry about how late you stay out." Miroku replied.
I nodded and then Inuyasha and me were out the door, heading down the street to the local park. We hadn't spoke a word to each other since I went upstairs to change, and I was to afraid to start the conversation because he looked so deep in thought.
"So…" He finally said.
"So…" I replied back.
"How has everything been? With school and all. Any more troubles with Naraku?" He asked.
"Everything has been… okay I guess you could put it in good terms. My class of Kindergartners this year is pretty… hyperactive, but they are all sweet in their own ways. I've had a few of their siblings in my last three years of teaching here, so its nice to see them growing up good. Um… yeah… Naraku somehow got the position of the principal of the school and so he's…always there." I replied. Watching him out of the corner of my eye to see his jaw tighten.
"He hasn't done anything has he?" He asked.
I shook my head. "He hasn't tried anything physically. He just knows that I haven't been around you for 3 years, so he's been making moves on me, hitting on me whenever he gets a chance whether when my students aren't in class or when we're at staff/faculty meetings." I said. Again, out of the corner of my eye I watched him, finding his jaw clenched shut and his hands pulling in and out of fists. I had to distract him somehow from his anger. A dog demon in a park wouldn't be very pretty, especially after said dog demon smashed all the trees and playground toys around him. "What about you? How has everything been for you?" I asked.
He took a deep breath. "It's been busy. As I said I have been so distracted that I couldn't come see you sooner. Three years ago you just disappeared, no note, no phone call, nothing. I didn't know why you left, where you went, and then I got so busy that I couldn't go after you. Until now." He said.
"You don't remember anything?" I asked.
"What do you mean?" He asked turning towards me.
"Do you remember anything after you took me home from the doctors office those three years ago?" I asked ignoring his question.
"I remember Kikyo catching us kissing, I was trying to get Naraku to stop harassing you." He said snarling for a minute, and then he composed himself again. "Then we got in the car and went home and I told you I had to talk to you after I got done with Kikyo. I was sitting there drinking with her, and then I blanked out." He said.
"I see." I replied.
"Kagome…" He said touching my face, and I flinched away causing him to frown. "What did I do to you? What happened that night? Why can't I remember anything?" He asked.
"I…don't know if I want to tell you." I whispered.
"Kagome please!! It has to be bad if you're afraid of me touching you, you have never flinched away from be before! What did I do?!" He panicked.
"You're… sure you want me to tell you?" I asked.
He nodded and I sighed, taking a few deep breaths before I started my story, or nightmare as I seen it.
"That night… I don't know what happened to you Inuyasha. I had gone to my room looking over papers, and then you knocked on my door. I got up, happy that you didn't forget to come to my room because you needed to talk to me, but… when I opened the door it wasn't you. Not fully you at least." I said looking at him. His eyes were focused on me, taking in my reactions and emotions. "You had blood red eyes, purple pupils, longer claws and fangs, you were a monster." I paused when I felt him tense up drastically. Somewhere between the words I had been saying I had reached out and held on to his hands. "It's not your fault though. You had told me to run, screamed at me to, but I didn't listen, I kept thinking 'What if I can turn him back to himself? I have to try' and I told you that I knew you were in there, but your demon had taken over. He told me I was so wrong and…" He jerked his hands away from mine and stood up quickly. "Inuyasha?" I asked.
"No…" He said quietly.
"Inuyasha…" I said starting to stand up.
"No stay there, Kagome, my emotions aren't in line right now. Just stay where you are." He said.
"Inuyasha I'm fine, I'm here, and you didn't do anything to hurt me..." 'Too much…' I thought to myself.
He just shook his head again. "But what if I would have? Kagome? What about that? Have you ever thought about that? Did it ever occur to you that I could have killed you right on the spot?!" He screamed.
I stood up taking slow steps towards him, he didn't seem to protest, but I still didn't want to walk any faster than I was that moment. When I got to him I reached a hand out and cupped his face in my hand. "Inuyasha Takahashi. Look at me." I said sternly.
He opened his eyes to reveal his golden orbs. "What?" He said.
"Inuyasha, you did rape me. It was against my will." I started and he closed his eyes again. "Damn it Inuyasha look at me!" I yelled. He opened his eyes again, staring into my own. "It was against my will, but not for long. I enjoyed it Inuyasha, more than I should have. I was crying during it, but all that was going through my thoughts the whole time was how good it felt, and how much I wished it could have been real, and out of love. I loved you Inuyasha. I still love you… I… just am a little shaken up that you didn't come after me when I left. You didn't call or anything, I didn't hear from you for years, and when I moved in with Sango and Miroku!…" I paused, not wanting to let out the last bit of that. I had almost let it out that Mizuki; my daughter; our daughter, was sitting at home, waiting for me to tell her if her daddy would be back in her life any time soon.
"I'm sorry." He said. "I'm so sorry." He repeated again falling down to his knees.
"What Inuyasha? What's wrong?" I asked.
"I… remember something." He said.
My eyes opened wide, shocked. "What is it?"
"I… Kikyo and me sat down at he table and she handed me coffee. She had to have been planning it for a while. Ever since she knew you were with me again. She had a while to plan it. She just had to wait until the time was right to put it into effect."
"What are you talking about Inuyasha?" I asked.
"She… I didn't smell the liquid in my drink; she put it in there. Knowing that I trusted her enough. And after I drank it she left. One moment I was fine, thinking about the last few lines that she had said to me." He paused. "'You seem fond of Kagome' she had said, of course I had said that you were my ex and you were a good friend to me, and at that point I started to feel a little bit weird… horny…" He took another pause and looked at me, I was shocked to find tears that most likely wouldn't fall in his eyes. "'Seems more like you love her, and you can tell that she loves you back, so lets see how she feels about you when you lose yourself.' I then couldn't hold back from the sudden volt of want in me and she stood up laughing, holding up the bottle of medicine. 'You wont be able to stop having sex, even if you want to. So have fun with her.' She had said before leaving. I didn't… I cant… she… I'm so sorry Kagome. If I would have been smarter and noticed the different smell of the coffee we would be fine still, we would still be best friends." He finished.
"I'm not sorry…" I replied.
"What?" He looked up at me like I was crazy.
"I said I'm not sorry. If that didn't happen we would still have to hide our feelings. We wouldn't be who we are today. I would still be in pain, knowing that even though you would do anything for me, you would always have to run off to her to make her happy. I wouldn't have something very special waiting for me to come back home." I replied, snapping my mouth shut as soon as I heard what I said.
"What are you talking about?" He asked.
"Inuyasha… I don't know if I should tell you that tonight, you have a lot of stuff on your plate. So… why don't you come over tomorrow morning? It's a Saturday, Miroku and Sango will be out Christmas shopping, I can tell and show you then okay?" I asked.
He looked at me, once again like I was crazy, and then nodded his head. "Fine. What time?" He asked.
"How about eleven thirty?" I asked.
Again he nodded. "Okay."
I sighed and we both laid down on our backs to stare up at the stars that were popping out one by one.
"Are you okay now?" I asked him.
"Yeah… I don't feel like I'm going to go psycho anymore… I'm glad you told me." He said.
"You deserved to know… I was just scared that you would have done something drastic." I said.
"I would have… if you wouldn't have been here with me keeping me together. These claws…" He held up his hand. "The poison on them, even if they are mine, it wouldn't take long for me to hurt myself if I did something with that poison on them." He said.
"Don't talk like that!" I exclaimed.
"Sorry… what do you want to talk about?" He asked.
"How are you and Kikyo doing?" I asked.
"No longer together, so I have no idea how she's doing." He said calmly.
"Why did you guys break up?" I asked lightly.
"She wanted too much commitment. I didn't feel like marrying her. After you left, I just had a feeling that she was the reason." He replied coldly. "So I told her I didn't want her anymore, that I would rather go jump off something that would kill me instantly or kill myself instead of marrying her." He finished.
I could help it I started laughing. "Inuyasha, that is so cruel." I said still cracking up. When I got myself under control I looked down at him to have him staring at me smirking. "What?" I asked.
"You're crazy, it wasn't that funny." He said.
I smiled. "It was to me."
He chuckled and looked down at his watch. "Well I suppose we should be getting home and getting some sleep… It's just now midnight." He said.
I gasped and he laughed at me. "I didn't know it was that late!!" I exclaimed.
"Time passes when you're telling the past…" He said trying to edit the 'Time passes when you're having fun' quote.
I smiled at him, giggling slightly. "I'll see you tomorrow?" I asked.
He nodded. "Tomorrow at eleven thirty, I'll be there." He said.
I stood up on my toes and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Bye!" I said and quickly walked away back towards Miroku and Sango's house, back to my daughter.
Well that's it!! What did you think? A little bit dramaful, I probably could have done better on that, but I needed to get it out of the way.

Maybe I can get it up this weekend if I try hard and write after all my final exams after school!!! And good luck to all of you readers that also have exams coming up!!! LOVE YOU ALL!!! –Paige;
