chapter five: Mark of the mate


8888888PRESENT DAY88888888


"Mom where can she be?" sqealed a frantric Kagome. They all sat around the kitchen table with troubled looks on their faces. Ecspecailly Kagome. Her daughter had been missing for practiclly the whole day, and panic sweeped throught her vains. No one had seen her since the wedding and the most horrible sense of guilt made her stomach uneasy. Ai had gone home about an hour before, after saying goodbye to Souta who had said he needed to be here. Kagome felt comfort that her little brother would rather be with his prude sister, helping her search high and low for her child, rather than be with his lovely girlfriend. Kagome let out a frustrated groan. She felt hot tears prick her eyes. Where was the one thing had kept her going all these years? The one person who kept her from going through emotional break down after emotiomal break down. Mrs. Ueda's(A/N mrs Higurashi remember?) hand gently rubbed her daughter's back. This helped Kagome pull herself together, barely. She looked up into her mother's eyes seeking comfort from their chestnut warmth. Mrs. Ueda smiled slightly to see the look she hadn't been given since Kagome had came home heartbroken from her final confronation with Inuyasha. This struck an idea in the old woman's head.

"Kagome dear, you don't think there's a chance that Yuta might have fallen down the well do you?" she asked ignoring her husband's peculiar looks. Kagome blinked hard. The thought had crossed the back of her mind, but she always pushed it out. But now looking back at her mother's eyes it seemed like a huge possiblity. 'No' she thought.

"No" Kagome voiced her thoughts, "no she wouldn't go near that side of the shrine unless either one of you told her about it?" Kagome saw her mother shake her head no and then eyed Souta. Souta looked very uneasy, with a look of guilt in his face. Maybe it was time for his little confession. 'I mean it is pretty late and I've never seen Kagome look so upset, well except for that one inciddent' he thought. Souta noticed the wild look in his sister's eyes. She'll get over it...right? Souta looked back at her.-GULP- 'Oh shit she's going to casterate me' he told himself as he hurridly sat up and backed away from the table slowly.

"SOUTA! You didn't!" Kagome screamed, perposterous to the fact that her baby brother would do something like that. "Please tell me you didn't tell her about Inuyasha?" she warned. It took every ounce of control she had to ran up and strangle her brother. Souta atomatically stopped moving and stood his ground. He would not run away. He would stay there and confess everything.

Souta admitted his guilt. "Yes I threw her down the well." he said straightly. Kagome's eyes blugged out. 'This could not be happening' her mind ached. She was infurated. Kagome yelled, "WHY? Why would you do that Souta?"

Souta looked at her oblivous to the fact that his own furstration was rising. "Because Yuta deserves to Know her father Kagome. She came to me having overheard your discussion with Hojo so I told her, and I don't feel a bit sorry about it." Souta crossed his arms as Kagome stood to face him.

"You had no right to do that Souta" she seethed. "If I didn't want Yuta not to know her father then that's my business."

"Kagome you had no right to keep Yuta from him!" he yelled shaking his head in anger. "You never even told Yuta anything about him! Do you not see that she longs to know him?" he asked incrediously.

Kagome had seen it. She had seen it often. This very morning. Yuta had yearned to know him as Kagome had yearned to hold him. But yet the memory of their break up fogged everything in her mind. "I will not have my daughter suffer the way I suffered. She deserves to stay away from the heart break-"

"You went through," interrupted Souta. "You went through it Kagome not Yuta. You can't shelter her from life. She needs to know Inuyasha for herself and if that means going through heartbreak then she'll know for sure why you hate him and she can always come back-HEY where do you think your going?" Kagome flew out of the kitchen door and down the steps heading to the very fimilar part of the shrine. She couldn't listen to his ravings any longer even if they happened to be true. "I'm going after my daughter that's what!" she huffed back to her family.

Mrs. Ueda followed her as fast as she could out of the house. "Wait Kagome," she called. Kagome turned to her mother tears in her eyes. 'I can't stay here' she told herself. She needed to find Yuta. She needed to get to her before she to was fooled by Inuyasha's charm. Mrs. Ueda put her hands on her daughter's shoulders. She needed to talk a bit of sense into her daughter but Kagome shook her off. "Mom, I'm leaving there's nothing you can do to make me stay"

Mrs. Ueda nodded "I know Kagome, I know but just think about it...It's almost one in the morning and your exhasted. You won't be able to find her with out passing out. Come inside, rest and then you can set off, I swear I won't stop you."

Kagome looked up into her mother's loving face. "Really?" she asked waterly. She wiped the tears on the sleve of the shirt she had changed into since the wedding. Why would her mother be so nice about this? Kagome knew her mother still enjoed Inuyasha dispite the hurt her daughter had felt. 'That's the way he is' she thought. 'No matter how awful he was to you, you still had a soft spot for him.

Her mother smiled reasuringly. "Yes Yuta is your daughter. But I do agree with Souta that you should let Yuta get to know her father. You now how it feels, you can barely remeber what your father looked like. But it is your decision and being a mother I have to respect that. Now come in and sleep." Kagome headed back to the house with her mother's arm draped over her shoulders. Kagome passed by Souta, neither one of them looking at each other. Kagome climbed up the stairs and to her old room. It was so childish now that she looked at it. Kagome sat down on the springy mattress. She felt exhastion sweep through her. Little weights pulled at her eyelids. But yet she could not sleep. No matter how her body wanted to, her brain didn't. Kagome looked into her reflection in the mirror on her old beauru. Her looks had changed little in the past fourteen years. She still looked in her twenties, not thirties. 'It was because of him' Kagome unbottened her blouse and pulled the shirt down, so it hung off her left arm. A small, very unoticable little discoloration of the skin lay on her upper chest. It was perfectly square and unknown to all. Kagome took her right hand and pressed it somewhat hard to it, having the square in the middle of her palm. A fleeting sensation rushed through her vains. A soft tingle spread from her chest out to her toes. Kagome raised her hand to see the perfect outline of a handprint on her left chest, over her heart. The mark began to glow a deep silver. The mark of the mate. It hadn't been used for the past fourteen years. Inuyasha would soon feel his any moment now. Kagome closed her eyes and covered her heart again. 'Inuyasha where have you taken our daughter?'

Yuta was asleep now. Inuyasha had given her the entire east wing seeing as it was hardly ever used. He stormed into his own room on the opposite side of the grand mansion, kicking over his desk chair in rage. Shippo idly followed him. He watched as his father turned around with wild eyes. "How could Kagome do this to me?" he seethed towards the kitsune.

"Rather easily," explained Shippo now finally knowing the facts of life. Shippo felt torn between both Kagome and Inuyasha. He felt sorrow that Kagome felt she had to leave them all those years ago, but why would she never tell Inuyasha about Yuta? That just felt so wrong. To never know your own child. 'Poor Inuyasha' his heart truely went out to his surrogate father. Inuyasha chose to ignore Shippo's words and headed straight for the long closet that conected to his rooms. It was a room in itself. He through on his old fire rat kimono as quickly as possible. He missed it's feel almost as much as he missed Kagome. Why had he never gone after her? Why didn't he force her to come back? Did he think it better for her to leave with her new love than to stay with him? If he had known that Kagome had been pregnant than he would've had her back in a heartbeat. Inuyasha picked up tetsusaiga and came back out to face Shippo.

Shippo eyed him up and down and stopped leaing on the door. "What are you doing?" he asked. He had seen the fire rat clothing in a good ten years, unless it was in battle or something. Inuyasha headed toward the door, practically pushing the grown Shippo out of the way.

"What does it look like? I'm going back down the well and scream at Kagome for being a such a bitch all these years!" Inuyasha stormed out of the room with Shippo trying to talk som sense into him. He didn't care. He had every intention of ripping Kagome to shreds for keeping something like that from him. Inuyasha had almost made it to the end of the corridor when he plussed. A soft tingle flew through everyone of his nerves. His paulse quikend and a soft burning appeared over his heart. Inuyasha's eyes widened. 'Kagome is calling me' He rushed back to is room and kicked out a very confused Shippo. Inuyasha pulled off the his shirt and there, glowing like the sun, was the mark of the mate. Inuyasha put his clawed hand up to it to feel it's soothing heat. It had not burned in over fourteen years. He closed his eyes and concentrated on Kagome. Her voice as if whispering in his ear appeared. "Inuyasha where have you taken our daughter?"

Inuyasha's brow furrowed in the anger he had wanted to release for the past few hours. "'OUR' daughter Kagome? Funny now you acknowledge the fact that we had a daughter" he thought back to her bitterily. He heard a frustated sigh. He could feel her anger burning through the mark. It almost matched his rage.

"Yes Inuyasha you have a daughter, but I will never give you the chance to get to hurt her. Now where is Yuta?!" Her voice sounded struggled, like she was about to burst. Inuyasha smirked. Maybe he shouldn't tell her where Yuta was...make her worry her heart away. 'No he couldn't do that no matter how anger he was' "She's fine, she's with me" he told her.

Kagome sighed a deep sigh of relief that she was unharmed. But then the thought of her with Inuyasha had to be the second worse place for her daughter to be. "Kagome, how could you not tell me I fathered a child?" his voice asked calmly. The sound of his voice sent shivers down her spine. She missed it and yet hated it at the same time. It continued back with that old troubledness that she knew so well. "I mean, I get a message from Miroku, and then the next thing I know is that there's this girl who shares our scent, and is calling me her father! How am I supposed to take this?"

Kagome cast a stern look as if he could see her. His voice was slowly getting louder and louder with each word. She felt the words echo through her brain. "Your not supposed to take it. And don't worry you won't have to, I'm coming to get her tommorow"

Inuyasha burned with hatred. She would not, she could not keep something like this from him. And as soon as he discovered his daughter Kagome wanted to take her away? 'No' he thought. "No" he told. Kagome seemed shocked. She didn't speak for a couple minuets. She seemed to find her voice. "What do you mean 'no'?"

"I mean you had Yuta for far too long, and I intend on getting to know my daughter."

"She's not your daughter! As far as I'm consurned Yuta doesn't have a father! And I don't care what You say Inuyasha, I'm coming for her!" Kagome shrieked but only he could hear it. 'Aww the joys of matromonial teleapathy, no one can hear you argue.' Inuyasha chuckled in his thoughts. He could tell this angered Kagome, but kept going.'maybe she'll know how I feel.'

"Wench, you are not a demon. Therefor you cannot make it to the Western Lands in one day. It will take you at least four days to make it here. And in that time I swear on my father's grave that I can get Yuta to chose me over you." He had no idea why he had just challenged Kagome. Was it his way of saying that 'You hurt me, I hurt you?'

"Why do you treat this like a game?!" remarked Kagome with abhorrence shaking through her vains. "Inuyasha I'm coming for my daughter, even if it takes four long grueling days, and I will make sure that you won't break her heart like you broke mine."

Inuyasha's face was alight with absurdity. "What's that supposed to mean? You left me, remeber?" 'For someone else' but he didn't voice that.

"You know what I mean Inuyasha. That's it. I'm leaving. I'll see you in a couple days and Inuyasha don't you DARE hurt Yuta. Physically or emotionally." The words echoed through his head and the mark stopped burning. He surveyed it as the glow dissapeared and turned once again into the small white square. To lay dormaint forever. The hanyou laid back onto his bed and stared into the ceiling. 'What did that mean?'

Yuta woke up slightly early, to her distaste. She turned over and pulled the covers over her head. 'Why is it that whenever you feel the most exhasted in the morning, you never seem to be able to go back to sleep?' Her bed was soft, and the silk sheets were rather comfortable. 'Wait silk sheets?' Yuta threw the blanket off of her and stared down at the elegant comforter and watched it's design swirl and twist. Yuta's gold eyes surveyed the room she was in. "Wow" she breathed.

The room was huge. It had ingraved white walls with a tall cieling that Yuta didn't even think she could reach. It was spacishly furnished. A book case along the wall to her left held many scrolls, which were probably held knowledge in her time unknown. A settee(A/N for those who don't know that's a type couche) stood positioned next to a humongous fireplace, which lay dormaint at the time. A light breeze refreshed her face. Yuta stared around in wonder in how she got into such a fancy place when the memories from the day before rushed into her mind. 'So this is Inuyasha's pad, huh?' Yuta climbed out of the bed, still wearing the kimono from yesterday. The floor looked to be made of marble and it's iciness made Yuta jump back onto the bed. Slowly realizing what just happened Yuta cursed the stupid floor and then headed to the closest door. Yuta blinked in it's brightness. Once her eyes ajusted Yuta was met with a sight even more awesome than the room. 'The bathroom is freakin' bigger than the room!' Yuta stared, her jaw hanging open at the bathroom. Completely white...everything was white. 'Does this family have an obssesion of white, or what?' Must be the hair or something. Yuta looked into the mirror above the marble sink. Was she to be the only one in the family without white hair? She tried to picture herself with silver hair but than shivered at the thought.

A knock at the door made her practically jump. Yuta turned around having caught her breath anwsered the door. "Come in."

The door slowly opened to reveal Shippo. Yuta had a hard time picturing him as the cute little boy from Sango's stories. He wasn't that much taller than Yuta and his form was normal but still she couldn't picture him. 'Well everyone has to grow up' her mind told her. "Hey Yuta, good morning. I'm glad to see someone is an early bird, well except from your father, he hardly ever sleeps. So how do you like the room?"

Yuta chose to not correct the kitsune. She looked around the rooms. She tried to appear not interested that the entire room happened to be the size of their house. "It's cool," she lied in an offhanded voice.

Shippo looked at Yuta sarcastically. "'Cool' hmm wasn't expecting that. Oh well there are some outfits in there" he pointed to a wardrobe. "Change your clothes and come down to the first floor dinning room. Inuyasha wishes to talk to you at breakfast about something" he eyed the look on Yuta's face. "Don't ask what," he said "I just live here. Come on get dressed and I'll take you down to the dinning room. I doubt you already know your way around." Shippo stepped out of the room while Yuta went to the dresser and pulled out a red haori. She put it on and flicked her hands through her hair before tyiny it loosely into a long ponytail. She put on Euiko's sandles back on and stepped out into a long corridor, where Shippo waited. He smiled and started walking down the hall with Yuta following at his heels. Yuta had a burning question on her mind. Should she ask it? "Shippo?"

"Hmmm?" was his oh so intelligent reply.

"Why did-Why did my mom leave Inuyasha?" she asked trying to cover up her anxiousness. This was the second question that had bee on her mind since she was at least four. Shippo turned around to face Yuta and seemed to comtemplate the question. He looked doleful at the very question. "You know Yuta, I don't think it's my place to tell, seeing as I don't know very much about it, you'll have to ask your father." And he kept on walking down the corridor.
