This was a lie, all of it was really. Kagome knew it, Baki knew it, and Gaara knew it. The worst though, Kagome thought, was that they all knew the others knew it was a lie.
"This didn't come from our enemies?" Baki finally asked, knowing there was no other way to avoid the question.
"No, it isn't, I swear to you it isn't," said Kagome, and she felt a wash of relief at being able to give some truth to the man.
"Does anyone know of this?" Baki asked again. Kagome's eyes were wide but she vigorously asserted:
"No."
