Chapter 9- Other Me


Kagome was silent for an hour before she looked over at Inuyasha.

"I can understand Rin, but not you. You never cared about me. You made me feel stupid, and you hurt me over and over when you picked Kikyo over me. So why?"

"Kagome I did, I mean I do care for you. Rin said you could die. I didn't want that."

"Oh, now I see. Didn't want death to be on the list of all the other things that you've done to me."

"You are right, but only partly. I have caused you alot of pain, but I only didn't tell you because I wanted to protect you."

"Maybe you should have protected me from you."

"Maybe I should have."

They rode in silence the rest of the way. When they arrived back at Inuyasha's Rin and Sesshomaru were already there and Rin helped her pack her things.

"Kagome, I know you hate me right now, but he does love you. I know what he did in the past but things are different now. He's different. After he chose Kikyo over you it wasn't long until he broke up with her."

"I know I'm the one that told you."

"Yes, but doesn't that show that he realizes that he does care and that you are more important?"

"No, it shows he has a guilty concious. And maybe you should use your own advice. I mean Sesshomaru dropping everything to come look for me and coming to save you doesn't that show that he's changed?"

"No, that's different."

"No it's not and by the way I could never hate you. I'll see you later. I think I'll be skipping school today. Considering I have only had a few hours of sleep."

"Okay."

Kagome picked up her things and went to her car. She saw Inuyasha looking down at her from his window. She looked away and drove off.

Rin went to Inuyasha's door and knocked.

"Come in."

She came in and found Inuyasha lying on his bed looking at the ceiling.

"Thanks for everything. I know I said to wait but you were right. It was a very unselfish thing for you to do."

"You think she'll forgive me?"

"Of course. She's Kagome, she will ned up realizing what you sacrificed by telling her."

"I guess."

"I need to go make an exscuse for you. I know your tired and we don't want Fluffy bothering you about classes."

"Thanks."

"I owe you way more than just this."

///////


"Kagome are you serious?"

"Yeah I am! I wouldn't lie."

"Kagome, I'm so sorry for your family and everything."

Kagome held back her tears. "I'll be fine, but I guess you and Miroku have to get to know me all over again."

Sango put her hand on Kagome's shoulder and smiled. "Your past does not make who you are. You are the same as you were before. We will just get to learn more about you."

Kagome smiled and hugged her. "Thanks, if you don't care I think I'll stay here instead of going to class. You can tell Miroku for me."

"Sure, that's cool with me. Anyway I know Miroku is going to ask a stupid question so rather than you have to actually hear it I can hit him for it beforehand."

Kagome laughed and lay down on the bed. Sango stood up and grabbed her bag. "See ya later."

"Yeah and thanks again."

"I told you no prob."

Sango left and Kagome locked the door. She slid down the back of it and started to cry.

'Souta, he was so young. And mom and grandpa it's not fair. Why couldn't I change places with them. I should have died they should have lived.'

'You are wrong Kagome.'

'Lady Morio?'

'Yes its me.'

'But I didn't know the connection could reach this far.'

'Neither did I, but I think when you need me the most your soul tells mine. Now Kagome listen you will go into shock if you don't. It is sad that they died yes, but its not your fault and saying that your places should be changed is not a good thing. Be happy that you are alive.'

'How can I be happy? I have no one. I'm alone and I know you'll say I have Rin and Sango and Miroku, but that's not what I mean. I feel alone.'

'That has nothing to do with your family. That is your broken heart. You have the memories so now you can remember. You can remember how Inuyasha broke your heart.'

'He betrayed me for her.'

'Forgive him and yourself.'

'I can't.'

'You always can Kagome.'

Kagome felt Morio pull out of her mind. She cried until she really cried herself to sleep.

"Hey Yashy." Kikyo said trying to hug Inuyasha but got pushed away. "We had a deal."

"Had is the key word here. Kagome knows now."

"Oh and I bet she hates you doesn't she? You know it was all part of my plan. I always hated Kagome. She looked like me yet people thought she was prettier. I was richer but they liked her more. And you, her best friend, her famous best friend, I couldn't let her have everything. I knew you'd fall for me. You were too easy. I couldn't let her win. And now look who has nothing? Kagome Higurashi has nothing."

Inuyasha growled and saw a fist swing and hit Kikyo in the cheek. Kikyo put her hand to it and ran away.

Inuyasha turned around and dodged the fist coming at him.

"What the hell are you doing Sango?"

"You hurt Kagome." She out her arms to her side. "But you are my firend and I just used all my force on that bitch."

"Yeah nice punch, just please never hit me like that." Miroku said joining them.

"I won't if you don't give me a reason."

He laughed nervously and they sat down at the lunch table.

"Where is she?"

"In my room. Just give her time."

Kouga came and sat beside Sango. "Where's Kags?"

"She knows."

"Knows what?"

"She has her memory back."

"What!? Kikyo knew and her knew and you didn't tell us?"

"I'll explain later."

"Is she okay?"

"Yeah she's fine."

"Good, poor Kags."

"Yeah, but she'll get better she's tough. And when I say that I mean it. Have you ever heard of Lady Morio?"

"Yeah."

"She's a famous trainer for mikos."

"Yeah and Kagome almost killed her. Now they have a special bond of some kind. I don't know Kagome never told me about. I only know what I heard around school."

"Kagome, almost killed, Lady Morio?"

"Yeah, she had strong spiritual powers. Before she went to Morio she didn't really know how to use them and Kikyo would beat Kagome in class everytime. And when I, well, did what I did, she went to Morio to help her use all of her emotions to make herself stronger."

"Cool, but Kagome she doesn't seem any different. Except she seems a little more, uh, down."

"Yeah but think about it. She can remeber her family and Inuyasha and Kikyo. All of that must be kind of hard on her."

"She's been like that for a long time. Before we weren't friends. It started when we got older and I met Kikyo. Kagome told me she loved me and wanted to be with on a numerous of occasions, but I told her no."

"Are you stupid? If Kagome told me she loved me I would never turn her down."

"Feh, I have to go."

Inuyasha knew Kagome wanted space, but he didn't want her to be alone. He didn't want her to hurt herself. He went to Sango's room and found it locked. He picked it and when he tried to push the door open he felt something in front of it. He looked through the crack of the door and saw Kagome sleeping there. He slowly pushed the door open and came into the room. He sat down beside her and pulled her into his arms. Kagome didn't open her eyes but she already knew who was there.

"I remember when we used to sit like this. When we used to fight and I'd start crying. Do you remember?"

"Yeah, I'll never forget."

"You know what the weirdest thing about all of this is?"

"What?"

"You seemed happier when I didn't know anything. Was I that different?"

"No I was just happy, because it was the first time I saw you really smile in a very long time."

"I, I guess I'm worried that you, Rin, Sango and Miroku and Kouga, well that you might like the other me better."

"There is no other you. You were always the same now you just feel all the hurt you have felt."

"Do you think you can be happy like you were when I didn't know. Even if I do have a painful past."

"Only if you can be happy again."

Kagome snuggled closer to him and smiled.

"I can try."

"Good, I knew you wouldn't give up on you. I was afraid that you'd hate me again."

"I never hated you. I just did't want to get hurt again."

"I know, but that's over now."

"I hope so."

"I know so."
