Chapter 8- Truth Known


Rin knew Kagome was going through a tough time and decided to go check on her when she was informed she had arrived at the mansion. She waited a little while before going up so she could give Kagome some time to relax.

She knocked on Kagome's door, but didn't get an answer. She knocked over and over again hitting it harder each time. She turned the door knob and was glad to find it unlocked. She walked into the darkness. She ran her hand along the soft and flat surface of the wall finally coming to a switch. She flipped it on and found Kagome no where in sight.

She went to the bathroom and looked inside. The light was off in there too. Rin smiled sadly.

'She must be in there with Inuyasha. They are probably fighting about something.'

She left the room and went across the hall. She knocked on the door and again got no answer. Not wanting to get Sesshomaru up here with all the banging, although she doubted if he was actually home anyway, she decided to just go in. She opened the door. The light was on, but the room was empty. She knew they both wouldn't be in the bathroom but checked anyway and sure enough it was empty.

'Damn it where are you Kagome?'

////////////

Inuyasha looked over at the now sleeping Kagome.

'Good she'll need rest for what's about to happen to her.'

They had been driving only half an hour when she had fallen asleep. She had asked him over and over again where they were going, but a few minutes after she gave up asking she went to sleep. He took her cell phone out of her pocket which had started vibrating and answered it.

"Hello?"

"Inuyasha, where are you? Where is Kagome?"

"We're fine we just wanted to go for a drive and talk a little."

"A drive to where?"

"A place I used to go to when I wanted to get away from Sessomaru. We'll be back later don't wait up."

"Can I talk to Kagome?"

"Sorry she fell asleep."

Inuyasha hung up the phone and then turned it off. He turned his off as well knowing that when Rin did finally realize what was going on it'd be too late and Kagome would already have her memory back.

/////////

Rin hung up the phone and sighed.

'There's something not right here. I don't understand, but it seemed Inuyasha was trying to get rid of me. Is there something going on I don't know?'

She went to Sesshomaru's office and knocked. She didn't get an answer so she walked in. She held her smile in when she found him asleep with his head down on the desk and some papers loosley gripped in his hands.

'They are probably up to nothing at all. Maybe Inuyasha lied because he doesn't want Kagome to know where they are going. Maybe he's just taking her some where he wants to be a suprise.'

Satisfied with this thought she tip toed over to Sesshomaru. First she removed the papers from his clawed hand. Then she grabbed the chair on the other side of the desk and moved it away enough so that she could, with great difficulty, put his feet up in it. Now that he was stretched out she left and got a blanket to cover him up with.

'I wonder why he didn't wake up? Probably just over working himself again.'

However when Rin left the room Sesshomaru opened his eyes. He had been sleeping, but woke up when she took the papers from his hand. He smirked and the sniffed the air.

'Good she's in her room. Now I can go to my room. Does Rin really still care for me?'

Inuyasha shook Kagome as softly as he could so he could wake her. She opened her eyes slowly and looked up at him. He was already out of the car and had her door open. He was starring down at her waiting for her to wake up.

"I-inuyasha? Where are we?"

"We are, well, you'll see when you get out."

She sat up and he moved out of her way so she could climb out of the car. She squinted her eyes in the darkness and finally realized where they were.

"Come on Kagome. I'm sure she is waiting for us."

"But why-"

"You'll see just come on."

Kagome followed him into the entrance of the temple. Lady Morio was indeed waiting for them. She had what seemed like at least a hundred candles lit.

"I knew you'd come back Inuyasha."

"Feh, whatever. Can you help her or not?"

"Hello I am still here you know?"

"Yes, I can help you Kagome."

"Help with what?"

"You should explain Inuyasha. I need to make preperations."

She stood up and left though a sliding door.

"Explain? Explain what?"

"About your visions."

"What you know why I am having them?"

"Yes, they aren't visions of a past life or of the future. They are your memories."

"That's impossible."

"No, you and your parents and brother were all in a horrible accident. They died and you lost your memory. When they brought you to the hospital you went out of control. The memory of the crash played in your mind over and over until they had to put you into a coma to keep you from killing yourself."

"No, no, Rin is my mother."

"No, that is a planted memory. They planted all the memories you have. The flashes of memory you have are the ones that are real. Kagome we've known each other pretty much our whole lives."

Lady Morio came back into the room.

"Do you want to see Kagome? Do you want to know that what Inuyasha is telling you is true? Or would you rather leave and have flashes your whole life never really knowing anything about who you are?"

Rin woke with a start and looked at the clock. Kagome and Inuyasha had been gone for three and a half hours.

'Something is wrong.'

She picked up the phone and dialed Kagome first. When it went straight to voicemail she tried Inuyasha's. She put the phone down and began to worry. His too went straight to voicemail.

She ran up to Sesshomaru's office only to find he was not in there. She ran to his room and walked in. He was sitting up in his bed.

"Wh-How did you...?" Rin was about to ask how he had gotten up here but didn't want him to know it was her who had tried to make him more comfortable.

"What?"

"Nothing, Kagome and Inuyasha have been gone for three and a half hours and both of their cell phones are off. I talked to Inuyasha earlier, but he said they were just taking a drive."

"Come on."

"What?"

"Obviously you came up here because you wish for me to help you in finding them, so come on."

"I just thought you'd send a search party."

"There is no better search party than me. I'll be able to catch their scent when we are still miles away from them."

"Right okay, let's go."

"Do you have any idea where they are?"

Rin thought about for awhile before answering. "Yeah, I think I do."

///////////////////

Kagome looked closely at Inuyasha. She could see sadness in his eyes, but no lie. She nodded her head. "Fine do whatever it is you want to do to make me see what it is you want to make me see."

"I am glad you chose this. Come get on your knees in front of me."

Kagome did what she was told.

"And close your eyes." She closed her eyes. Lady Morio put her hands on Kagome's forehead. Kagome could feel energy passing into her mind. And then it began to happen. Her memory began coming back to her. Not part of it but all of it. She could remember her family, the crash, Rin, and Inuyasha. It seemed to only take minutes but when Kagome opened her eyes she found herself lying down in a sleeping bag on the ground. She sat up and looked around. Lady Morio was sitting beside her.

"You are awake? I am glad it has been two hours. Inuyasha is growing very anxious." Kagome took a deep breath and ran through all of the memories she now had restored to her.

"T-they lied to me. Everyone lied to me."

"They thought they were protecting you. You know why now don't you? The crash you saw it again and again. It was really all you could think about."

"I know, but I...my family. They are all gone."

"Yes, except for Rin."

Kagome smiled at Morio and hugged her. "Thank you but I have to go now."

"I understand. Come see me if you need to train."

"I will."

She stood up and went out of the room knocking Inuyasha on the floor in the process. She looked down at him.

"Kagome?"

"I guess since you brought me I can't just leave you here, but after that...I don't know."

Inuyasha flattened his ears and followed her. Landing out in one of the fields was a helicopter.

"That's Sesshomaru." Inuyasha said looking shocked, that is until he saw Rin running towards them. Kagome stopped and waited for her.

"Kagome, come on we have to go. Inuyasha why did you bring her here?"

"Aunt Rin, you are too late. I can remember now."

Tears filled Rin's eyes. "I wanted to tell you, but I couldn't let you die."

Kagome gave her a sad smile. "I know, but I need some alone time. Well not totally alone. I'm going to go stay with Sango."

"Okay."

"Inuyasha let's go." Inuyasha followed her quickly.

'She's actually still letting me drive her? Maybe there is a chance for us to be at least friends.'
