Summary: He gently brushed his thumb over her cheek, "Will you stay? Stay with me?" He whispered eyes boring into hers, "Become mine forever?"
Chapter One:
Kagome hummed as she slowly made her way down the shrine stairs, she had started living here three years ago. The woman, Mrs. Higurashi, took her in and gave her a place to stay. She had been wandering around place from place ever since she could remember.
She didn't know why she was here, all she knew that she was supposed to do something. The something is what she didn't' remember, so she kept traveling in hopes she would find that something. She had been all over and yet she still didn't remember so she had taken up the woman on her offer to settle down with her. It was nice to have a place to call home but at the same time it was weird.
She was used to being on her own, answering to no one, and the nagging feeling that she was forgetting something still lurked in her mind. That and the thought that she shouldn't get to comfortable here, she was getting soft, and she knew from a young age that one should never count on one but themselves.
For as long as she could remember she was alone, abandoned at birth and left to die no doubt, and because of that she had to learn how to survive on her own. It retrospect the saying 'what doesn't kill you makes you stronger' was true but it didn't make it suck any less. She had a few scars to prove it, and it took a lot to scar her.
She often thought if it was because of said fact, that she was more than human, was the reason she was left to die. Maybe they knew as soon as she was born that she was a freak. She could break a tree in half when she was four, hear a mouse from a mile away and smell a fire from two. That and she had a tail, that after years of being made fun of as a kid she kept hidden under her shirt, it wasn't normal but it really didn't matter, not anymore. It was because she wasn't normal that she was alive today.
Kagome shook her head free from her thoughts as she reached the sidewalk her ears and nose assaulted by the horrid smell of the big city. She hated running errands for Mrs. H but the woman was eight months pregnant and couldn't make the long journey herself anymore. Plus it was the least she could do, she did have free room and board. Plus she knew the only reason that so many trips to the store had to be run was because she, Kagome, ate so much.
So with a sad sigh and her shoulder down she made the long trek to the nearby store and bought as much food as she could with the money she was given, filching at every overly loud noise and horrid smell. Once both her arms were loaded with grocery bags, more then normal human woman her age should be able to carry, she made her way back to the shrine steps and resisted the urge to groan. She quickly glanced around to make sure no one was within human seeing distance and smirked when she realized no one was and with a small push of her Ki she was awkwardly flying up the stairs.
Yeah she knew that wasn't normal either but hey, she was past the point of caring. As it was she was just starting to get the hang of it and she did need all the practice she could get. So with a small smile on her pink plump lips she make a semi rocky landing at the top of the stairs and grinned in victory. She let out a small sigh as the peace and quiet of the shrine. Since it was so far above the city the horrid sights, smells, and sounds of the city were dulled to an extent. She glanced at the huge tree on the shrine grounds and smiled, there was just something about that tree that put her at ease, it was one of the main factors in her decision to stay, and it made her long for the country side.
"Kagome!" She shook her head of those thoughts and offered Mrs. H a smile as she waved at her from the doorway of the house, her stomach huge with child, and made her way into the house. Careful not to bump Mrs. H as she got out of the way and placed all the bags on the kitchen floor. "I got as much as I could with the money you gave me. There wasn't much left over but here." She reached in her pocket to pull out the lousy three seventy five in change yet like always Mrs. H merely shook her head and began putting away the food. "It's fine hun you keep it."
Kagome sighed but slipped the money back into her pocket. Mrs. H was far too kind to her, she often wondered if her mother would have been this kind had she not been a freak. She pushed that thought down and offered Mrs. H a mumbled. "Thanks." And began helping the woman put away the copious amount of food, that would probably only last a week at most with her living here, and turned to smile lightly at the happy woman.
She was practically glowing and she had just cause, she was pregnant with her late husband's child. The last tie she had to her husband and she felt bad intruding on that happiness. She felt guilty she was taxing this poor woman and taking time and energy from the child she carried in her womb. She knew the woman didn't have the funds to support her, her father, and a new child. There was no way, even with the money she got form the state and her husband's will, she could keep this up much longer and it today's shopping trip had cemented that thought in Kagome's mind.
She would leave.
Sighing Kagome walked into the room she was given. It was small but it fit to her needs. She glanced at all the small nick-knacks and gave a small smile. She had collected lots of things throughout her travels.
"I guess I should start packing." Kagome whispered to herself. She wanted to leave in the middle of the night so she wouldn't' be stopped. She would leave a note, and be off.
It didn't take long for her to back her things up in her bag. She had waited to start packing till everyone was asleep. She took her time, she was leaving some things behind. Things she wouldn't need. She was bringing a couple pair of clothes a towel, her nick-knacks, some of the money she had saved up and her identification Mrs. Higurashi helped her get.
Zipping up the back, she gave a small smile and went to the desk and wrote a quick note. She held the slip of paper in her hands and set it on the bed. Kagome hoped she would find it there. Mrs. Higurashi had been kind to her.
Picking up her bag, she went to the door and gave the room one last look before flipping the lights off. The note she left on the bed sitting there innocently, waiting to be found. Kagome had hoped it was enough.
Thank you.
-Kagome
-.- -.- -.-
Kagome smile happily as she made her through the countryside inhaling the sweet fresh scent of the wilderness, practically untouched by man, and resisted the urge to giggle. She had missed this so much! With a bounce in her step she continued on her way, with no real destination in mind and just enjoyed the day and the freedom that came with wandering.
It was half an hour later that she frowned coming across a grand canyon but quickly grinned and let her ki flow and lift her shakily into the air. She laughed lightly in victory as her shakily flight pattern became slightly more controlled and took the time to enjoy the feeling of weightlessness and freedom that came with flying.
She was so caught up in enjoy her small flight that she didn't notice the small ball of light until it slammed into her stomach making her cry out and drop her bag as she and the thing fell towards the rushing river below. "Gohan!" She gasped at the panicked yell and glanced up only to see a man in orange flying quite quickly towards her and what she assumed was Gohan.
She looked down at her no doubt bruised stomach and gasped when she met scared and teary brown eyes. Quickly she shook out of her stupor, mere feet away from the rushing water, and forced her Ki to surround them and in a burst of uncontrolled power they shot up the air. She gasped as small child like yet semi muscled arms quickly yet gently engulfed her stopping her scary and botched flight pattern. "Whoa there I got you calm down."
"Huh?" He looked up at her, eyes filled with shock and tears, before flinging his arms around her neck crying.
Kagome's eyes softened as she cradled him, "Shhh, Your safe now." She flew slowly back to land and gently landed back on her feet. Setting him down on the ground she sighed when he finally let go of her neck but he continued to cry.
Taking in his wet form Kagome looked around for her bag, hoping to heaven and hell that it hadn't landed in the river. Thankfully it didn't so she quickly picked it up and zipped it open to grab the towel, wrapping it around his small body that had started to shiver.
"There there." Kagome shortly cooed, "You're safe. No need to worry." Kagome was interrupted in calming him down by the voice she heard earlier.
"Gohan!" The owner of the voice was identified to be a man as he came to a stop inches away from her and held out his arms to the boy, Gohan, who eagerly jumped into them with a happy yet scared cry of. "Daddy!"
She watched with slightly narrowed eyes as the two went on gushing their worry and or love for each other, it was cute, but it made her feel out of place so with a resigned sigh, she would have to buy a new towel when she found a town, she picked up her pack and started to float away but way stopped by the man calling out to her.
"Miss…oh you can fly…" Kagome blinked at the semi normal way he said it…like he saw people that flew everyday then again he and the boy, no doubt his son now that she got a good look at them, knew how to fly so it did make sense. Nonetheless she was still new to it and lost her concentration at his outcry and landed on the ground with a light thump. "Yeah, kind of, I'm just learning why?" The man gave her a big goofy grin, Gohan copied him, and rubbed the back of his head. "Er no reason, I just wanted to say thanks Gohan's just learning as well and he got away from me, put to much Ki in at once, and um yeah. Sorry he crashed into you. Are you okay?"
Kagome blinked but was taken in by his warm and friendly attitude and shrugged. "No problem and I'm fine. My stomach's a little sore but that also could be from the fact that I haven't eaten today. So no worries…" She trailed off not knowing his name and though it took him a few seconds to catch on, he quickly offered her a boyish smiled. "Goku, my names Goku and this young one here is my son Gohan. If you don't mind me asking what's your name?"
Kagome gave them both a small tentative smile. "Kagome. So um if we're done here I have to be on my way I need to find a town to rest in for the night…" She trialed off hoping they would get the hint that she wanted to go but was to polite to just walk away, while they were looking at her that was.
Goku stared at the young woman, something deep down told him that he should help her, that he had to help and he wanted to. He gave her a huge grin, his son still in his arms, and nodded with his head back towards his house. "If you want you can come back to our place Chichi, my wife, has lunch ready and there's more then enough for us to share with you." His eyes zeroed in on the way she chewed her bottom lip, as if trying to thinking of a reason to say no and he panicked. "Er you did save my son from crashing into the river. It's the least I can do."
Kagome chewed on her bottom lip and mulled his offer over. She was hungry and she had no idea when she would come across a town…plus he didn't seem like he wanted to hurt her, not that she would let him if he tried, so really there was no harm in agreeing to a free lunch. So with a bright smile she nodded her head. "Sure, um lead the way."
Goku smiled, something deep in his chest swelled with pride and acceptance as he floated into the sky. "It's this way miss follow me." Kagome nodded and kicked herself up to join him and in no time there were in the air and approaching a small house
Goku opened the door, calling in, "We're hoooooooome!" Kagome stifled a laugh at the goofy grin plastered on his face as he entered the house, with Kagome following behind.
"Goku! There you are I was beginning to worry!" The voice of a woman came from the kitchen area. Kagome was guessing this was his wife. She saw a woman maybe four or five years older then her step out with a spatula in one hand and hand on her waist.
"I had no clue..." She stopped mid sentence, blinking when she noticed Kagome, "And you brought a friend?"
Goku laughed sheepishly, rubbing the back of his head in embarrassment, "Yeah. She um...saved Gohan from a swim."
The woman's eyes narrowed, "I thought I told you no more fighting lessons!" She was really mad, and gave Kagome a quick glare too.
"My name is Chichi, I am sorry about them." She gestured to the two boys, making Kagome's eyes narrow now. They had done nothing wrong, they were just being their-selves. What was wrong with that.
"It's no problem. My name is Kagome." She gave her a smile, and small bow. She didn't want to seem rude, but she had a feeling she wasn't going to like this woman.
"I invited her for lunch as a thank you. I hope you don't mind Chichi." Goku told her, smile on his face as he sat Gohan on the floor.
Smiling Chichi sighed, "That is fine. Lunch should be done in five minutes. Go wash up." With that Chichi left to the kitchen in a huff.
A small but not tense silence fell over them as they listened to Chichi bustle around in the kitchen. Kagome blinked and stifled a laugh as Gohan shook himself out like a dog her towel and the remaining water on him flying everywhere. Goku blushed lightly at Gohan's actions and went to scold the boy.
"Gohan." Gohan merely smiled up at his father and Kagome offering them a cute innocent smile. "I was still wet."
Kagome nodded and crouched down to his eye level, she had this thing about loving kids, and patted his head affectionately. "You should go get changed before you catch a cold, then you'll have to go to the doctors and get a shot!" She widened her eyes for emphasis making him pale and gasp. "No!" Quickly he ran towards his room kicking off his shoes and pants in the process.
Both adults laughed at how cute he was, Kagome smiled sweetly after him as she stood up and dusted her pants for invisible dust and threw Goku a smile. "He seems like a sweet heart."
Goku laughed and blushed lightly. "Yeah he is, sorry about earlier." He bent down and picked up her towel folding it as best he could before holding it out to her.
Kagome smiled and shook her head reaching out to grab the towel. "It's fine, better me then the side of the mountain." She giggled lightly as she grabbed the towel from his hands, their fingers blushed at the intimate contact though neither knew why. Blue eyes met brown as booth of them seemed to lose themselves in each others gaze. They were brought out of it by an annoyed sounding,
"Ahem, you guys lunch is ready and on the table." Both blinked and looked away from each other feeling guilty under Chichi's harsh gaze. "Ah thanks honey is Gohan done changing?" Chichi merely hmmed as she walked back into the kitchen.
Kagome sighed lightly and offered Goku, who was a bit in shock at Chichi's harsh attitude today, a small smile as he led her to the kitchen where Chichi and Gohan were already seated. Once there Kagome took the seat across from Goku next to Gohan and smiled lightly as they all began to dig in, a small semi tense atmosphere hanging over them.
In no time Kagome was on her second helping and couldn't help but feel bad as Chichi looked at her like she was some kind of freak. Honestly she thought the other woman would have been used to it judging by the way Goku and Gohan were putting away plate after plate… Goku must have sensed her worry because he paused between bite full's of food to give her a big grin. "Eat some more, we have plenty to go around." She laughed lightly as his cheeks puffed up much like a hamsters.
"Goku! Don't talk with your mouth full!" Chichi scolded him making both him and Kagome frown.
The woman acted like more of his mother then his wife but it was no business of hers, at least the food she cooked was good. So with a happy smile, ignoring Chichi who was glaring at her, she took Goku up on his offer, not feeling guilty at all because she could see the copious amount of food that had been made for lunch and helped herself to thirds.
"Here let me help you squirt." She smiled at Gohan making him stop his reaching for the rice, which he could obviously not reach, and stood up lightly to reach the rice and placed a big new heaping pile on his plate, her shirt ridding up a bit in the back.
She blinked as Goku and Chichi both gasped and immediately sat back down thinking she had done something to offend them. "I- I'm so-" Goku cut her off by pointing at her, rudely in her mind, and gasping out. "Y-you have a tail to?"
She blinked at the word 'to' but nodded blinking when Gohan jumped up happily, his food forgotten, and lifted up his long fighting shirt. "I have one to! You're just like me!"
Kagome stared at the familiar brown tail, which was wiggling in excitement, and could only nod, her brain not comprehending what was happening at the moment. "W-what do ya know…I am…"
