Chapter 10:

Trying to Hide the Tears

Kagome sighed nervously for probably the hundredth time that morning as the group walked down the path to the Bone Eater's Well. She looked around at the group, did she really travel through time? Or was this all a set up?

She looked at the well and gulped. Amaya was curled up in her arms. "Are you ready?" Inuyasha asked, while standing on the lip of the well. Kagome nodded and stood on the lip as well. "Give Amaya to Sango." "What!? No! She's coming too!" Inuyasha sighed. "Kagome, you and I are the only ones who can travel through the well. Don't worry, Sango can take care of her. She's taken care of Kirara." Kagome sighed and handed the fire cat over to Sango. She stood on the well and looked down into the darkness. 'They're trying to kill me again...' "I knew it! This is a trap! You're going to make me fall down this well, break my neck and die. Well I don't think so!" Miroku rubbed his face and walked up behind Kagome. "Kagome, I love you, but this is for your own good." He pushed her into the well. She screamed all the way down. Inuyasha growled and followed her.

When the both landed, Kagome saw a roof over the well. "Hang on to me." Inuyasha stated. Kagome did as she was told. Inuyasha jumped out of the well and then led her out of the well house. Kagome looked around in awe. He wasn't lying. "Follow me." Kagome stayed close behind him. He walked into the house and looked around in the kitchen. "Hello?" He called. Suddenly Jin appeared, with a glass of water in her hand. She looked rough. She looked like she had been crying, and hadn't gotten much sleep. "Inuyasha, how are you? How's the search going?" Inuyasha moved and Kagome was standing behind him. Jin dropped her glass on the ground. She looked at Kagome. Fresh tears began to make their way down her face.

"K-Kagome?" Kagome nodded and with in a second she was in a hug. Jin began sobbing as she held her daughter. She broke the hug and touched Kagome's face. "You have no idea who I am, do you." Kagome looked her up and down. "Inuyasha said your name is Jin and that you are my mother." Jin smiled sadly and nodded. "I am. Come, lets get you freshened up and you can ask me anything you want to know." Kagome smiled and nodded. She followed the woman upstairs to the bathroom. Inuyasha sighed and walked into Kagome's room. He laid down on her bed and looked at the ceiling. He wondered if bringing her here was a good idea. That was his last thought, Inuyasha drifted of to sleep.

Kagome came out of the bathroom with her mom. She was wearing a robe. They walked into her room and instantly stopped talking when they saw Inuyasha sleeping on the bed. Jin smiled. "I swear he is the cutest thing in the world while he sleeps." She whispered while grabbing some clothes for Kagome. Kagome just stared at the hanyou. 'Why does my heart feel so happy?' She followed Jin to her bedroom.

Kagome began to get dressed. She had a pink bra, matching underwear and jeans on. She turned around and Jin gasped. She put a hand to her mouth and tears threatened to spill. Kagome looked at her oddly then looked down, her scar. "Does it hurt?" Kagome shook her head. "It'll burn sometimes, but I think it's more so the jewel shards." Kagome took the red tank to a placed it over her head. She sat down next to her mom. "I think Inuyasha had something to do with me dying." Jin gasped and stood up.

"Kagome, how could you think that? Oh...right...Naraku." Jin sighed, she kneeled down in front of Kagome. "Listen to me, I have never met ANYONE is this entire world that has cared for a single person as much as Inuyasha cares for you. I know you don't believe me up here." She pointed at kagome's head then moved to her chest. "But right here, you know it's impossible. Inuyasha would die for you. I can't even begin to explain the amount of love he has for you." Kagome looked down, her cheeks turning a rosy color. Jin smiled and kissed her daughters forehead, she walked out of her room but stopped. She looked back at Kagome. "I lied, there is one other person I've met. You. You use to care about him so much I honestly thought it was ridiculous." Her mom laughed. "I'm sorry this happened to you Kagome, if I could, I would gladly take your place. But I am telling you that, Inuyasha didn't do it." Kagome nodded and watched her mom walk out of the room.

She sighed and walked out herself, and walked into her bedroom. Inuyasha was still laying there, sleeping soundly. Kagome quietly looked around her room. She saw pictures on her desk. Friends that looked like they were from her time. Then she saw a picture that made her heart skip a beat. Inuyasha and her. They were back to back with arms laced and Inuyasha had picked her up. But what made it so special was, his smile. He looked so happy, as did she. She quickly whipped around when she heard a groan from Inuyasha.

Inuyasha blinked open his eyes and looked at Kagome. "Hey, sorry for falling asleep." Kagome waved her hand. "No problem, Sango had said you haven't gotten much sleep since...yeah." Inuyasha nodded and sat up. "So how do you like your mom?" Kagome sat next to him on the bed. "I like her. She's so nice and genuine. She really likes you." Inuyasha blushed. "She's a nice lady, there's only one person I trust more than her." Kagome cocked a brow. "Oh yeah? Who's that? Do I know'em?" Inuyasha smirked. "Yeah, it's you." Kagome opened her mouth to speak but nothing came out. "Inuyasha, you shouldn't trust me." She looked away from him.

Inuyasha sighed. "Yeah I know I shouldn't, what with you wanting to kill me and all. But when I look at you, even though your eyes are different. I still see the old Kagome. I know she's in there somewhere. Being stubborn as usual, never wanting to show herself when I say so. Always having to do it her own way." Kagome giggled slightly at him grumbling. Inuyasha's ears perked up. He missed her laugh.

Kagome thought for a moment. "What makes you think that the old me is in there?" Inuyasha smirked and got only a couple inches away from her face. "Cause you haven't killed me yet." He stuck out his tongue and got up and opened her window. "Hey!" Kagome yelled and watched him jump out and land on the ground. She growled knowing she'd break a leg. But she didn't care. She got onto the roof and slid to the end. She looked at the twenty foot drop. 'Shit.'

Inuyasha watched her and smirked. "Come on! Jump! I'll catch you." Kagome looked down at him. If she jumped and he didn't catch her, she'd be seriously injured. "No thanks, I'll go back inside." Inuyasha frowned.

"Just trust me!" Kagome bit her lip, but she jumped off the roof. Her whole body tensed up, until she felt a pair of arms catch her. She looked at him and sighed in relief. Now....what was she chasing after him for? Oh right! She jumped out of his arms. "Just because I haven't killed you yet doesn't mean I won't."

"Oh yeah? Prove it..." Kagome blushed and looked down. "Okay okay, I'll make it easier. Punch me, really hard in the face." Was he? Taunting her? He was trying to make her uncomfortable, well two could play at that game. She smirked seductively and slowly walked up to him. Inuyasha blushed and gulped when she wrapped her arms around his neck. "K-Kagome, what are you doing?" She smiled and pulled his head down, his lips so close to hers. He gulped. "Inuyasha," She whispered. "Y-Yes?" Kagome jumped back and yelled "SIT." She laughed her ass off as he fell. Inuyasha stayed there for a moment or two longer to cool off after that episode. He looked up and glared at the laughing girl. He wanted so bad to yell at her. But seeing her laugh made all his anger go away.

"See I don't have to punch you. I'll just Si-...you." She winked and walked back into her house followed by Inuyasha.

MEANWHILE

Kagura sighed as she listened to Naraku blab on and on about what he was going to do. Honestly, she didn't care. And she must've shown it because Naraku growled at her. "Are you listening!" Kagura instantly stood up and nodded. "Now," He continued. "The shards are beginning to purify according to Kikyo." Kikyo nodded, standing next to Kagura. "She's going to start remembering. But when...and will she remember what I want her to?" He pondered. "Naraku this may not work. She knows of you. And she has a lot more trust for Inuyasha than Miss High and Mighty over here." Kagura stated. Kikyo glared at her but kept quiet.

Naraku looked at the women. "In case you have forgotten Kagura, Kagome believed it before she died. Now we need to speed up this memory process." He thought for a moment. "Kikyo, I want you to find her. She seemed to have the most reaction when meeting you." Kikyo nodded and walked out of the cave.

Kagome hugged her mom and thanked her for cleaning her clothes. "Kagome, make sure you come back and visit soon. Be careful." Kagome nodded and then followed Inuyasha to the well.

"Maybe next time I'll get to see my brother." She whispered as she jumped in the well. When they came back through the well it was thunder storming. Inuyasha growled, he hated the rain.

"What's the matter?" "Rain, I hate it." Kagome laughed and twirled around. "I love the rain, it's so refreshing." Inuyasha laughed. "Yeah, you always did. I swear you must've been a fish in another life. You love water." Kagome smiled. And walked up to Inuyasha, her clothes sticking to her. She looked up at him. "Have you every met one of my ancestors?" Inuyasha gulped. Kikyo. Should he tell her. Now was probably not the time. "Ummm...I don't think so. Come on, lets go to Kaede's. We need to get ready to leave tomorrow." Kagome looked at him. "Where are we going?" Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "Duh! To kill Naraku and retrieve the jewel shards. More so the first one." He growled. Naraku was as good as dead when he found him. Kagome smiled softly and looked up at the rain. Maybe Inuyasha wasn't so bad after all. Maybe he didn't hurt her. She followed him down the path.

'Maybe....'
