Note: I'm sorry for the delay on updating. I recently took a 2.5 day drive from Texas (my home) to Oregon (where I go to college) and have been trying like crazy to settle into my apartment. Its been reaking havoc on everything in my life. I apologize again on the delay, but please don't punish me by not reviewing. They give me such happiness. :) Also, some people have been asking for longer chapters. They'll start getting longer. I'll begin adding 100 words per chapter, I think, which means it'll take time for them to be published. Thanks again, everyone!

Chapter Thirteen:

Secrets

"Kagome, I know you've had a rough time these past few months... But," her mother paused uncertainly. Should she bring up the ghosts of the past when her daughter had been moving forward for the past few weeks?

"When will you... tell us what happened back then?"

Kagome stopped stirring at the stove and did not turn to meet her mother's inquisitive gaze. She knew very well that her family had been tiptoeing around the situation for several weeks but their curiosity was only growing.

"I'm just not ready," she whispered.

"We'll all be here when you are."

"I know."
