InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Playing the Game ❯ The Past Is... ( Chapter 7 )

The Past Is…

 

Ah the chapter where everyone is ironing out what happened to them in the past ok so I attempt to explain it. Just to warn you this chapter has some dark themes in it so please be cautious. Vegeta and Bulma from Dragonball-Z will be making an appearance in this chapter again and in another one, I'm sorry I love them too much and it's going to give lead way to another project I'm thinking about doing.

“We are family Kagome and we always will be I'm always here through thick and thin and no matter how many breakdowns you go through I will never break away from you”

 

“Yeah right Kikyo you were already broken from me. I still don't get why you didn't just tell me or maybe I should have found out myself” she mumbled and the placed her hands on her face.

 

“What was that Kagome?” Inuyasha said as they drove up to the Tashio Mansion in his dark blue car. He frowned because he hadn't been there since his parents died eight years ago but everything looked the same. He looked over at his friend who was in much worse shape that he was in. They left the scene two hours ago and rode around at first but then like clock work Kagome had a `great' idea, to take Rin and Sota from the mansion before Sesshoumaru came back. Of course he was against it but when he decided to tell her how he felt and then she cried. So since he really didn't know how to deal with crying women they were at this place.

 

“Nothing Inuyasha I just want to get my daughter and my brother ok” she said to him while he parked the car. For a moment they just sat there before Kagome moved to open the car door.

 

“Look Kagome don't you think that your being a little rash here I mean over six months ago you were in the hot seat”

 

“He had no right Inuyasha, all of this time I sat in jail being criticized while he spent most of his time with our daughter, a daughter that he didn't even want to claim at first. The International Agents never caught him or the Magnificent Five but behold Sesshoumaru is an agent. How is it that this agency wants us to uphold a sense of justice but yet a mass murderer works for them?” she questioned almost to tears. She saw Inuyasha say nothing to her but he did decide to ask about something else.

 

“So tell me about her past Kagome” he said wanting to know more about his girlfriend. He knew that Kikyo was a highly sexually active person like he was but after every sexual encounter she cried and he wanted to know why? Well that and he wanted to know about why she would ever strike her mother too. From what Kagome said earlier about her it seemed that Kikyo had an vendetta against her own mother because of there past…a past he wanted to know about

 

“I'd rather not maybe we should go in and get the kids” she said as they started to walk out of the house.

 

“Ok but as we walk up there I want to know what is so bad about Kikyo” he said as he walked with her. She stopped in her tracks for a moment not wanting to relive what had always bothered her. Inuyasha looked at Kagome as their eyes locked.

 

“Well for starters my famous governor father would rape both her and Ayumi” she said finally opening up to him her she opted to look away this time while showing void of emotion.

 

“Wait before you go on about Kikyo tell me again how is Ayumi your sister?”

 

She growled at him this time for his impatience but spoke “Like Kikyo by adoption, she had always wanted to work as an International Agent without really being in the mess Kikyo and I were in so she broke from us after the age of eighteen. The only times she would be available to us was when we needed a lookout girl. And when I gave her 1.5 million dollars of the Tashio money which she gave back”

 

“I remember that day when I was first starting out as an agent Sesshoumaru came in highly pissed about everything. But somehow he held his temper and worked it off eventually he told me that you were the one who stole it from him”

 

“Yeah I did, but you want to know about Kikyo?” she said wanting to change the subject this wasn't about Sesshoumaru and her it was about what Inuyasha wanted know. And there is no sense in holding back he deserved to know the truth and most of all she deserved finally get it off of her chest even if it would hurt her `sister'.

 

“Yeah Kagome what else did he do to you guys”

 

“Actually he didn't do anything to me but beat me when I was bad. When Sota and I weren't around that was when he would beat both Ayumi and Kikyo then use them” she said darkly as she recalled one of her darker memories when she came home from school.

Flashback 14 years ago

 

A ten year old Kagome ran home from school hoping to see her family or her sister because she had made a great painting that she wanted to show her. A cute smile graced her face and her pigtails flying as she was almost to her destination. The sweltering heat of Florida didn't bother her as she ran home today usually she took the limo home but not today actually she ran from her driver just to wave her great work of art around. She knew that she would be in trouble but she didn't care Kagome wanted attention and her little brother seemed to be taking all of it away now. Sota the last of the member born by her mother who died in the car crash he was a sweet boy but not to her. To Kagome he was an annoyance but he was family so she accepted it.

 

Kikyo was sick this morning so she would show her first. When they we really little they never got along Kagome would provoke a fight because her older sister wasn't smart enough. Kikyo on the other hand was the cute one by everyone her manners were impeccable and she was one year older which of course caused Kagome to become jealous thus the quick tongue and then the fights. But later when a car accident occurred Kagome pulled her unconscious sister out to safety and she did this by complete goodness of her heart because no matter what she loved her. That night was also the night their mother died and it created an even closer bond between them.

 

On this particular day though it was different Kagome ran home to see her father sitting on a couch with a sick Kikyo on his lap. At that moment she thought that something was wrong because father never had anyone on his lap because he hated it. And it really looked like her sister was crying, Ayumi and Souta were with there stepmother.

 

“Hi daddy, why is Kikyo on your lap?” she said looking down at the floor even at the age of ten she couldn't face her father.

 

“Because sweetheart I was teaching her something?” he said trying to move her, a certain way as to not be caught.

 

“But she's sick she should be in bed so that I can show her my picture”

 

“Kagome why don't you go and play honey” he said.

 

“No I don't wanna play I wanna know what just happened here” she said looking up at her father with as much anger as she could muster her blue eyes looking trying to comprehend what her father was doing with his big sister.

 

“Kagome I will not tell you again go or I'll beat the life out of you”

 

“No let my sister go daddy so that she can go to sleep” she said defiantly.

 

“Kagome stop it please listen to father and do something I beg of you” Kikyo said still tearful she needed to make sure her sister was ok because she didn't want her father to cause her any pain. Or even kill her and the rest of her family like father threatened if she didn't let him…she couldn't think about what he did to her on an weekly basis when no-one wasn't around. So she did the next best thing in this current situation helped her sister and prayed that her quick tongue didn't get her into more trouble. Because no one deserved this hell that she was served.

 

Kagome looked at her sister with sad eyes and decided to listen to by walking away but she wanted to do more research on this situation to protect her sister. But little did she know when she did figure out what was going on in that living room of the huge home that she would be shocked beyond belief.

 

<br>

 

Inuyasha looked at his friend in shock at what he had heard but he knew that she wasn't done yet. He seemed to be right as she spoke again.

 

“When I finally figured out what a man and a woman and what a molester was I tried every possible thing to get him caught but nothing ever worked. The reason for this was because he had power, a governor could get away with a lot of things”

 

“Kagome I'm…” he was interrupted.

 

“Then a little while later Ayumi was becoming the new Kikyo of the household my father would bother her but not as much as he did Kikyo. It was like he had an obsession with her and I needed it to stop so I started to play with computers. They had loads of website where you could tell them your problems about abuse and I did numerous times and they seem to listen and the police kept coming back to check it out, that scared him. The pressure was mounting on my father as our stepmother started to believe me, I mean if the police were coming to your doorstep at least every month then what would you expect. He stopped touching them and I found ways to hack into systems every so often.

 

We still had those times where he would beat us if we got out of hand but for the most part my sisters were ok. But then I turned sixteen and had another shock of my life. Kikyo and I were coming home one night from a high school party when we decided to bother Ayumi by telling her what a great time we had. All that I could see was my drunken father half naked mounting an unconscious Ayumi so I found some type of strength and pushed him off of her. He then came after me, he beat me and that was all, I had always assumed that somehow I was lucky because he didn't bother me as he did my sisters. But now I guess I know why he would touch them because they were not his biological children. Kikyo got a hold a knife when my father was beating me and stabbed him four times”

 

“Four times she stabbed him four times did he die?”

 

“I wish he's still alive and kicking after that we all three of us ran away because we didn't want to be in that house nor did we want the cops to catch us. But before we left completely we went to his safe and stole over two hundred grand, we carried everything in bags. This was the point in time where we started to change our identities, Kikyo became a killer if necessary, plus she was very sexuality active and almost didn't care about herself. Ayumi blocked out her memories by being miss nice woman and I was becoming an excellent con-artist using checks first and then computers later while keeping my sisters sane”

 

“And then Kikyo slept with Naraku”

 

“Yes Inuyasha she did but it was a one time thing, as she was stealing money from him she found out that he was and International Agent and panicked. She ran to me and Ayumi told us to leave Chicago since that's where we were at the time. It was at this point where we became the Shikon sisters we found money where ever we could through forging, and counterfeiting checks. From there we would travel the world and meet Bulma a technological genius who had money then Kouga and his destined girlfriend Ayame…”

 

“Wait a minute I thought you were the Shikon sisters after the wolf gang broke up”

 

“No it was never like that Inuyasha it was the Shikon sisters first then we all combined to become the Wolf gang because by that time cousin Vegeta wanted in, and so did Hiten and Manten. No one could catch us for four years straight. Now please let's go and get them please Inuyasha”

Flashback: Six Years Ago Location Japan

 

He finally had his chance to kill the one woman who was annoying the shit out of all of the assassins. He along with his team were the best assassins around but this woman was insistent on catching them and he was sick of it. He decided to stand waiting for her without his usual back up of the Magnificent Five the name was as flawless as they were and they never hid it until Midoriko. On the roof he stood but somehow he had a weird feeling that he wasn't alone but he didn't worry about that at the moment. His mind though wasn't on that at all, three weeks ago she had an assassin in her office grilling them on who they worked for and he was killed before he had a chance to say a word by him. This caused her to search deeper for her goal which cause him to be worried further.

 

“You've made it Killing Perfection I didn't think you would show up” Midoriko said looking at the silver haired young man standing at the window in the old factory. When she last saw him he was traveling with four other people who killed a man just three weeks ago so why would he be alone on dangerous territory. He seemed to have the answer she was looking for and so much more.

 

“You're wondering why I'm here in a place where those men you conventionally have behind you can catch me. You are also wondering about that other presence that is lingering around you Midoriko, plus the fact that it's just me and not the five of us”

 

“Yes I wish to know why you are here alone and there's no lingering presence behind me? Vegeta and Bankotsu are the leaving you all alone soon Sesshoumaru?” she said while looking at him weirdly and then smirking at her comment. `What the hell did he mean lingering presence' she thought as she was going to finally catch one of the Magnificent Five, the leader actually. Her black eyes narrowed at him as she saw him standing there with the stature of arrogance and she hated it in her usual black suit and white blouse she sneered at him as he turned around and smirked at her. `Tashio if you could see you glorious son now he's just like his mother' she thought but never in her life did she think about her daughter who was doing the same thing.

 

“The question you seek is simple Midoriko I know that you won't have enough time to strike me because those agents behind you aren't fast enough. Vegeta and Bankotsu are wondering what to do with their lives but for the moment they are entertaining y wife. If only father were alive huh…then you could really telling him of his son's mistakes but wait I did some research on you too and found that your daughter is thief how surprising” he finished and as he did a gunshot went off and hit Midoriko in the shoulder knocking her down then shot at him. He could see the presence now and went after them but not before saying something to a young agent.

 

“Get her to the hospital now and maybe your mother will be fine agent Hojo…and Naraku, he said pointing at the other agent by her, I'll catch you soon enough” he ran quickly after the person, when he finally caught up to the person he tackled them to the ground. `A girl' his mind raced about who it could be maybe `Usagi' in a wig, he didn't know but decided to pull her hair getting a squeal out of her.

 

“You bastard get off of me you know that she had it coming”

 

“What's your purpose here girl?”

 

“Well isn't it obvious I wanted to kill her, and why did you shot at me I'm on your side” Kikyo said frowning at him.

 

“You're an outside lackey, well that explains everything little girl for once in you're life stay out of grown-ups business. Besides you panicked when you shot at her and me, you really didn't want to shoot at her so what's your game girl” he said trying to figure her out.

 

“She's my mother and the names Kikyo I trust that you will let me go now” she said and he looked shocked he wanted to ask he why she was here to kill her mother but for some reason he didn't want to push his luck.

 

“Yeah get out of here before I change my mind” he saw her leave the vicinity with a smirk now etched on his face she took care of that annoyance but now he wanted to continue her work. When he had got back to the scene the ambiluance they were so slow and as they were carrying her off he took out a silencer out of his back pocket took a corner and shot at the woman again. He did tell the agent his mother may make it, he ran as fast as he could out of the old building and back to his haven…home.

 

“When were on that balcony Kikyo did you think about killing me along with your mother?” Sesshoumaru said as they rode around trying to find Inuyasha and Kagome.

 

“Why do you ask that question?”

 

“I just wanted to know Kikyo?”

 

“I was aiming at my mother first but then you saw me and I panicked and shot at you which if I recall you shot back at me Sesshoumaru. Actually you caught me that evening and told me to stay out of grown ups business even though you were only 21 and I was 18. I eventually told Hojo that I shot my mother without really knowing who she was but he didn't believe me and it wasn't true.

 

I had just found out that she was my mother that week when it all went down and Kagome tapped into recorded messages between you and her. I set out to kill her because of all harsh things I had to go through when I was little, for her not attempting to search for me for loving Hojo more than she ever could me”

 

“I'm sorry for you misfortune Kikyo”

 

“Don't feel sorry for me when I not feeling sorry for myself, right now we just need to find Kagome” she said as she sat back in the car thinking about where her sister could be.

 

“Sesshoumaru maybe we should search at the one place we haven't been our homes maybe they showed up there” she said in some type of realization. “Of all the places start at those two places first?”

 

“I really don't know but we can go there now” he said and the drove as fast as he could to Inuyasha's and then his residence.

 

<br>

 

“Being an international agent has it perks and its downfalls…let me demonstrate” Naraku said pointing a new agent or the `rookie' as he called him up to the front of the room. He just punched him in the stomach just for fun and everyone nervously laughed. He saw one woman though just taking notes absorbing everything in as she wanted to really do this.

 

“You are all dismissed for lunch and when you come back be prepared for Hojo lecture the boring said of being an agent” he said fake yawning as everyone walked out he saw the girl walking out and had to stop her.

 

“Do you always have to take notes for a class that doesn't require it girl?” he questioned softly and then smirked when she turned to see him.

 

“Um I don't know I just want to be the best agent around… I've always wanted to be an agent when I was little but Kag—Kana always said that real women don't waste there time with boy stuff. And ever since then I've been trying to prove her wrong” Ayumi said blushing at the very handsome teacher with the long crinkly hair, her brown eyes darted to the floor as he walked over from his desk to approach her.

 

“Well next time girl don't take notes as an agent you need to listen not write” he said taking her notebook from her. He also made note of the change of name she gave her sister but didn't question it

 

“Hey supervisor or not I want my stuff back” she said angrly.

 

“Make me woman or should I call you girl”

 

“I'm not a girl” she said as she went to grab her stuff. Ayumi had to admit though that Naraku was fast he was so fast that she was in his arms and her notebook dropped.

 

“I believe that you're sister was wrong woman you will make a great agent but for once stop writing in this class” he suddenly wanted to kiss her but she stopped him with her fingers in his lips.

 

“If I make it on you're team then my name is Ayumi” the eighteen year old said and then she broke free from his arms and walked out of the `blue room' in a rush. Now if only she could have seen him smirk at her when she left the room the next week she was a part of his Narcotics team.

 

That was the first time he had held Ayumi in his arms and to be honest he was a player. Then he started to connect with her on a personal level on those late nights working on this `Thunder Brothers' case. Eventually they started to go out on date or accidentally slipped on the floor in the office and kiss a lot. He also found out that she was very moody when she wanted to be such as yesterday when she heard about him sleeping with Kikyo. The worse was yet to come as he was later told by her that she was and is Kagome's and Kikyo's sister all along. She had Bulma who was a friend of the family `erase' her record of ever being there sister.

 

He remembered walking away from her in that room completely pissed he went to retrieve Hojo and left for a bar not caring about Kikyo or Sesshoumaru who he assumed looked just as hurt as he did. But even now he was beginning to miss her but like she bluntly said that she would not forgive him, he could not forgive her either. He had an agent who was in connection with the Shikon sisters the entire time how foolish of him to believe that she was any different. But in the back of his mind he knew that she was very different and maybe she never helped her sisters with those robberies when she was an agent.

 

<--BR-->

 

“Is everything ok Kikyo?” Inuyasha said as he looked at his lovely girlfriend. He just didn't know what to do out of all of the women she was the most beautiful. She was the reason why he ditched his past life too bad he was going back to it after this because of her blatant lies. He made it seem like he cared but he didn't. After what his brother told him it about Kikyo's background and although he and his brother almost never got along he did know that he never lied. Kikyo was a thief and he loved her which pissed him off. They were in the living room of his home as she finally snapped out of her daze.

 

“Yeah Inuyasha everything is fine I told my sister not to get involved with Sesshoumaru and she did anyway. I told her that the man was going to hurt her and wasn't as good as you were I love you Yasha” she said trying to hold him but he moved from her. She looked at him weirdly before he spoke again.

 

“But I can't love you anymore Kikyo. I know who you are and what you've done and it makes me sick” he said now looking very forlorn.

 

“Inuyasha I would never hurt you and all of the things I done in the past have ceased”

 

“I don't care Kikyo I have all of the facts and my brother he told me everything. Kikyo Sesshoumaru never tells me anything so I know that he wasn't lying. I want you out Kikyo plain and simple besides you need to comfort your sister. I'll have your clothes shipped to where ever you are in the world”

 

“So this is it then Inuyasha?”

 

“Leave Kikyo and don't let the door hit you in the face” he said looking away from her he wanted to be the big man on top but it was hurting him just as much.

 

“Fine Inuyasha I'm gone and better off without you anyway” she said reduced to tears she walked out his life that night never looking back at the one man who held her heart.

 

“Why Kikyo, why did it have to be this way?” Inuyasha said while waiting for Kagome in one of the rooms. He turned to see the lights of another car approach the house. It had to be Sesshoumaru but the car design looked almost like Bulma's. `Now why are you here right now baby sis?” he thought to himself Bulma left this place too when she was fifteen years of age Capsule Corp felt like she was old enough to take over the business with Sesshoumaru's help of course. Inuyasha kept looking to see that she wasn't alone now the next question he had was why is Vegeta with her the bastard loved to train so seeing him outdoors was a shock…

 

<--BR-->

 

Hiten rang the doorbell of the huge mansion waiting for Sesshoumaru Tashio when another man approached the door a butler he supposed. Today was the day that Kagome's true past came out into the open so that when she came home crying she would run straight into his arms.

 

“May I help you?” the man said in a slight feminine voice.

 

“I'm here to see Sesshoumaru I have some information on his newest fling Kagome”

 

“Not interested please leave—

 

“Jakotsu who is it?” Sesshoumaru said walking up to him.

 

“No one sir” he said almost closing the door. He liked Kagome she was a good friend to his new lover and boss didn't really need to know about this piece of trash on his doorstep. Now why did his boss have to be here when I don't need him to help me with this?

 

“I'm here to give you some information on Kagome” he said placing his foot into the door awaiting a reaction from the man in front of him.

 

“What information do you think you have on her?” Sesshoumaru questioned skeptically.

 

“These Mr. Tashio he said handing him the papers, are all you need to come up with your own truth about Kagome Higurashi” he said and started to walk away from the man.

 

“Wait if all of this is true then how is Kikyo related to her?” Sesshoumaru said looking straight into his reddish brown eyes as he turned around to him.

 

“It's simple really Sesshoumaru, Kikyo is her sister and they are worldwide thieves known as the Shikon Sisters. Does that ring a bell?” he said smirking at the man as he looked shocked. This was the ending of this relationship which meant that he could start anew with Kagome just as it should have been in the first place…

 

“Hiten, Manten you have a visitor” the agent said opening up the main cell knocking him out of his great trance. A trance that he would play over and over again in his head, for once he hoped that it was Kagome but that was shattered when his brother said that it was Kagura. He looked at her appearance her blue jean pants with a green shirt make her look decent. She would never compare though to his Kagome.

 

“What do you want Kagura” Manten said looking at his brother who happened to look the other way.

 

“To tell you that I told you both so” she said gloating at them.

 

“Then leave bitch because when we get out of this cell we will go after you first”

 

“I'm so glad that I was able to see you both like this Hiten, Manten. But it was even better of me to tell Hojo and Naraku about everything because this needs to stop. Especially for you Hiten this needs to stop” she said looking at him with some hope and then it was shattered because no matter what he still loved Kagome not her.

 

“Did you tell you're new associate Kagome about how you setting her up in that warehouse in the U.S. Kagura?” Hiten said completely ignoring her comment.

 

“She will know as soon as I leave because I just came to tell both of you that I'm going under protection. The people who were helping you were arrested and you barely have a leg to stand on so I believe that I've done the right thing. Oh and Manten, Yura has been sentenced to life in prison today so I don't think that she will helping you anytime soon”

 

“Don't ever presume things Kagura we still know people that the agency hasn't picked up on yet and assassins that can kill you when you walk out this door.

 

“I'll take my chances” she said and the called for the guard. For once in her life she wasn't scared of them she loved one of them but she wasn't scared. She was tired and this way she could finally sort out her life. Kagura walked away from the now yelling brothers happy that she didn't have to work with them anymore.

 

<--BR-->

 

“Kagome you will cease this nonsense and put Rin down” Vegeta said trying to reach out to his little cousin but she pulled away.

 

“He sent you here didn't he?” she said looking up at him and ignoring Rin's whimpers of her wanting to stay home.

 

“Kagome I will not tell you again let Rin go so that I can tell you about the Killing Perfection” he said and defiantly he saw her stand her ground like a true Ouji or Higurashi. His black eyes narrowed at her as she narrowed her eyes blue eyes at him. If looks could kill then they would both be dead.

 

“Please stop this Kagome and let me have Rin so that I can put her to bed. Then we can talk like normal people and look I even have a picture of them would you like to see it” Bulma said interrupting the staring contest between the two. Finally Kagome placed Rin in Bulma's arms and she then walked upstairs to Rin's room leaving them alone to speak to each other.

 

Kagome then plopped down in a chair in the main room of the home “I guess I should tell Jakotsu that I'm sorry for pushing him and then cursing my brother out because he wanted to stay. Usagi still looks the same I see, so cousin tell me about your team that I didn't even know you were apart of until just now. Veggie out of all the people in the world you know I listen to you the most so tell me what I need to know” she said looking at the picture of all of them.

 

“Tell me to Ouji I need to know how my brother juggled all of this at once and why did he change?” Inuyasha said walking in the room. He was still upstairs hiding; hoping that Kagome wouldn't go through with her plan and it seemed Vegeta calmed her down.

 

“It's simple Kagome, half-breed we quit this part of our lives because of both of you. Even though it didn't do me any good, you Kagome still stuck with being a thief and then I joined that” he said rolling his eyes

 

“Wait Sesshoumaru doesn't care much about me Vegeta you're bluffing” Inuyasha said crossing his arms at him but Vegeta just sighed.

 

“You'd be surprised at Sesshoumaru although he is a puzzle he does care for his family somewhat. After he had helped Kikyo shoot her mother he wanted to stop but he didn't have any direction, his wife Usagi had cheated on him with his friend and that made him worse. Then you came along Kagome and you showed him something that even he had never known before…you cousin gave him hope”

Out of all of the chapters this one had to be the hardest to construct. I forgot to mention that #1 in the last chapter after I mentioned Usagi but I hope that I clarified that in this chapter. I also hope this chapter wasn't that boring but I felt like I had to move backwards first and then forward. Just to forewarn everyone too the next chapter will have some flashbacks but not as many as this one has. I hoped everyone liked it and of course review.
