Sorry for the long wait. I've had a lot going on and haven't had a whole lot. of time to write. Anyways disclaimer Disclaimer I don't own inuyasha just the characters I made up... Hope you enjoy the chapter. I'll have a new one up by next week. Please Read and Review

Blinking my eyes open. I had a terrible piercing headache. We had gotten attacked by a demon yesterday, I think his name was Dorijan. He hit me with some type of attack but it was more like a ball of energy, it didn't hurt at all. My vision is really bleary so I blink a few more times to clear it.

Finally able to see, I can tell I'm in a house but it's not in the feudal era. 'Did Inuyasha take me home?'

"Kagome are you awake? " Sango asks. If I'm in the modern era how is she here?

"Yeah, but where are we? This looks like my time."

"Inuyasha said it is your time. But we were hoping you could tell us where" Looking around I realized what she meant.

Inuyasha wouldn't have known where we are because it's nowhere near the shrine. No. We were 12 years in the past. Before I ever met them, or my current family, and ever learned of the shrine.

"Oh no" I was suddenly very glad we left Shippo and Kirara at Kaede's. "I know where we are and it's somewhere I never thought I'd be again."

"And where exactly is that Kagome?" Miroku asks. Might as well tell them if what Dorijan said was true and they're about to find out.

"I'm not a Higurashi… my real name is Kagome Elise and this is the home I spent the first 5 years of my life. This was where I lived with my mother, my alcoholic father, older brother and twin sister. It's also the house my family died in."

"Wait what does tha-" Just as Inuyasha started talking the front door of the house opened. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And me and my twin sister Kiyame came running in my older brother Koni right behind us. He chased us around the living room and into the kitchen where my mother was making dinner.

"Koni! Girls! You're getting dirt just everywhere! Take off your shoes" She wasn't really angry and you could tell by the smile on her face. "We don't have much so we're having ramen for dinner is that OK?"

"That's fine" We all replied while kicking off our shoes.

"Your fathers in the room so don't go back there please" We said OK and continued running around until dinner. We ate in silence since our father had came out.

He was never really kind when he was drunk and we were to loud. On our way down stairs we had heard him hit mom for letting us be so loud. So we were all being quiet so no one else would get hurt. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Kagome… Kagome!... KAGOME!" I jumped

"Yes Inuyasha?"

"Is this really your family? How are we here?"

I didn't completely know myself. "I think it has something to do with that demon Dorijan. He said he could make us relive memories or something along those lines" Miroku answered

"This is really my family guys, this is my old house and this is the night they died…"

"What does that mean though? Why didn't you ever tell us that they weren't your real family?" Inuyasha asked

"Inuyasha if you never noticed we don't really talk about family much. So I just never felt the need to bring it up."

"So how did they die? Clearly we're not getting out of this memory until it finishes playing out so we might as well be prepared." Sango said And just as I was about to answer it started playing again as if on cue…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~•~~~~~~~~~

About an hour after dinner my siblings and I were dancing in the living room like we did often. My brother was taking dance lessons in an after school program and was teaching us. Koni being 14 he was in the 9th grade Kiyame and I were only 5 and in the 2nd grade but we wanted to be just like our brother.

Anyway as we were dancing a few cars pull up outside we thought nothing of it since dad tended to have his drinking buddies over a lot. Suddenly a gunshot rang off and the window shattered. Another one came through and hit Koni in the arm.

He pushed me and Kiyame to the floor. "Crawl over to the closest get in and don't open the door. Got it?" We nodded quickly seeing the blood coming from him. He watched us go over and closed the door behind us. We heard him run toward the kitchen where my mother was.

"Gome what's going on?"

"I don't know Yame"

"You think Koni's gonna be OK?"

"Well Koni is big and strong remember? He'll be OK. I know he will" Then we heard banging on the front door like someone trying to push it in.

Our mom was yelling at Koni to hide but he kept saying he wasn't leaving her. Dad was asleep and drunk and he doesn't hear anything when he's drunk. The door finally broke and we could hear people running in the house.

"Get out of our house! What do you want? You shot my son!" we could hear our mother screaming at whoever it was.

"Your husband owes or boss some money. We're here to collect" said one of them in a really deep voice.

"We don't have any money. Tell your boss he's gonna have to wait"

"Boss man doesn't wait" said another man.

"He takes lives as payment" said a third

"Please don't hurt us. I have to take care of my children. My husband is in the back if your boss wants to talk to him" pleaded my mom

A loud slap and my mother's scream was all we heard next. She landed in front of the closet we were hiding in. "I love you girls be safe and don't come out." she whispered before standing.

"Don't put your filthy hands on my mom!"

"Oh look at him standing up for his whore mother"

"You will not call her out of her name!"

"You're already bleeding from that wound in your arm. We can make it an easier death by shooting you in the head but watching you suffer seems like more fun" said the first man. We heard another shot and Koni fell to the ground screaming. Our mothers scream soon follows
