Songo's POV

"My n-name is K-Kagome." As I hear her name for the first time I risk a quick glance at the girl next to me taking note of the uncanny resemblance to my childhood friend. But then again I had thought the same thing about Kikyo when I first meet her, but this is different this girl also has the same name. I quickly cover my surprise and act like nothing was wrong since she seemed really nervous and tense.

"That's a pretty name!" I said as I recall telling her the same thing when we meet as children. I hear her take a sharp breath in response to this wondering if she was indeed my long lost friend and was remembering that day also. After this a long slightly tense silence follows. I start thinking back to what had happened when we were children.

One day my parent informed me of our infinite move. My father had accepted a new job in the city. When I told Kagome about the move we both cried for days. As the time for the move came closer Kagome started withdrawing into herself. She was quiet in school and start blanking out during class just staring into space with a slightly sad and frightened look in her eyes. When I confronted her about not talking to me and asked what she was scared of she just brushed it off and would talk about how excited she was to have a little brother on the way. The day after the move she heard that Kagome's family was attacked and Kagome herself was nowhere to be found. After that I heard no more about her friend. I wondered if she was alright or if she was even alive.

I was pulled from my thoughts as I pulled into my garage and got out of the car. Waiting until Kagome was out as well. When she got out I gave her a tour around the house and left her staring in wonderment at the guest room where she would be sleeping. When I was finally alone I started thinking again. 'What if this really is Kagome? What happened to her? what happened to her family?' all kinds of similar thoughts spun around my head. Maybe this will work in my favor and I could finally get the information I wanted with that in mind I headed toward the room I had left her in while planning the confrontation in my head.

Kagome's POV

I sat down on my new bed and looked around. It was not as grand as the room I had at Inuyasha's but it was defiantly close. It was decorated in light colors rather than reds and blacks. I had just walked to the window and was taking in the view when I heard a knock on the door I quickly sat back down on bed before calling for her to come in. I tried to act natural as I watched her come in and set on a chair in the corner. The determined look on her face scared me slightly. What if she figured it out? does she know who I am and if she does is she going to turn me in to the cops? I was starting to get a headache with all these thoughts chasing each other around my head. I took a deep breath and held it for a minute before slowly letting it out. Songo hasn't said anything since coming in so I assume she is waiting for me to say something first.

"Is there something you needed, Songo?" I questioned quietly. Then she said the very thing I have been silently dreading.....

"I know who you are and I want some answers, Kagome." she said in a strong definite voice that I remember her using whenever she used to ask where I got the bruises when we were young. Back then I would lie and blame it on my clumsiness or just change the subject all together. Now though I knew that wouldn't work. I can't blame my past on anything else and she was more focused now than ever and I knew she would not be swayed. I sigh in defeat and ask what she wants to know.

Songo's POV

I watch Kagome closely after admitting that I know who she is. I see her fighting an internal battle in her head probably trying to find a way to change the topic. But after a few minutes she seems to realize that there is no changing my mind. She sighs in defeat looking slightly scared and when she Spock the was a slight tremor in her voice. "So what do you want to know?" she asks as if sentencing herself to her death.

I take a moment to gather my thoughts and then ask the most pressing question that might also answer some others at the same time.

"What happened the night that your parents were killed?"

A look of true terror flashed though Kagome's eyes before a terribly sad expression settled on her face. I almost felt bad about making her think about it but I needed answers. As she calculated how to answer me I carefully watched her to judge her emotions. I understood the look of fear and sadness but not the regret or guilt. Finally she seemed to get the nerve to answer.

"M-my mom and b-baby b-br-brother were killed first h-he stabbed my mom in the stomach. I saw her dead. I-I would have been next." She paused a minute and when she continued her voice was slightly stronger. She no longer stuttered but I could see silent tears trailing down her face. "He was going to kill me next because I saw him kill her. He took the knife from her stomach and started to try to kill me, but I had a little knife that my mom gave me the night before... I stabbed him and he let me go he finally died and I was so scared. I didn't want to go to jail so I ran away." she finally finished telling me what had happened but I was confused about who he was. I had an idea but it couldn't have been who I thought it was. I couldn't be sure till I asked though. And I was scared she would say yes.

"Who was he? where was your dad?" I ask softly not wanting to make her more upset.

"He was my father. I killed him. I killed my own father! I should have just let him kill me! I should have died with my mom and brother! I never even got to meet my sweet baby brother! I promised to protect him from our father I told him I would never let anyone hurt him. I failed to protect him! I lied to him. And I never got to say goodbye...." Kagome trailed off her voice being torn away by the silent sobs that raked her thin body. I found myself walking over to her and holding her as she cried.

She cried for a long time while I just held her mumbling so thing words to calm her. I felt like crying myself. Just thinking about what my childhood friend had gone through made me upset. The more I thought about it the guiltier I felt. It was obvious now that I thought about it. She had been abused. She had never let me come over and when I asked her about a bruise she would lie or not answer. I wish I had paid attention to the signs. Then maybe I could have saved her from that life. But I have to stop thinking of the past. I have to make it up to her now. What she really needs is a friend and I have to be there this time.

After she calmed down I guided her to the kitchen and made us both some hot chocolate. I managed to get her to tell me a little more about before the killing. I was horrified by what she told me but I managed to comfort and reasure her that nothing bad was going to happen to her anymore. After a while she managed to fall into an uneasy sleep on the couch. I sat watching her and contemplating what I should do now and if I should tell Miroku and Inuyasha.

I finally pulled out my phone and called Miroku to tell him to come over with Inuyasha tonight when he asked why I just told him I had something important to tell both of them. He quickly agreed and said they would be there in a few hours. With that done I settled back and relaxed while thinking of how to tell them about Kagome.
