Chapter two
After three pit stops, turning around twice, and getting lost once, we finally made it to Eri's family farm and her going-away party. I practically bolted out of the car the moment it was parked, with Kagura following gracegully behind as always. Females of every age was gathered in the yard, balloons, and streamers were everywhere, there was even a banner that said 'Good Luck Eri!' I spotted Eri and my friend Sango underneath a tree talking some other girls, and ran over to them. Shit grace and poise it was an all-girl party! I hugged them both, nearly knocked them over. Eri's face was of pure shock, Sango's annoyance. I couldn't help it.
"I haven't seen you in forever!" I cried. Sango pinched my arm, I returned the favor.
"Eri, you excited?" I asked, nearly bouncing up and down. My high-school friend was moving to America to be with her dad. He owned a restaurant there, it was a great chance for her to begin her cooking career. She smiled.
"Yes, but I'm kinda scared." I hugged her again.
"I'm gonna miss you like crazy!" I said. Sango snapped a picture, then threw Kagura, who was standing behind me, in the mix and snapped another. That's Sango for ya, forver a camera about her neck, I think she would die without it. Eri excused herself to greet some other guests, while Kagura and I made our way to the food. Three hours is a long time since breakfast! We pick a table that was empty, and placed our plates down. I noticed Rin, one of the little girls, was trying to pour herself some juice, so I quickly went to help her.
When I walked back to our table another woman was talking to Kagura. She seemed familiar, but I couldn't remember who she was. As I went to sit down, she smiled at me.
"Hello Kagome" I started, ok now I know I've met her before, but where?
"Uh, hi?" I said, my face had to be a look of sheer puzzlement.
"Don't you remember me?" She asked, smiling still. I quickly racked my brain, nothing, zip, nada.
"Um, no sorry." I confessed. She laughed. Agh, she's laughing, when is she laughing? I was frantic! Who was she?
"Izayoi Tashio" She said. Still nothing, familiar, but nothing. I blinked.
"Inuyasha's mother" She explained. I groaned inwardly, this wasn't good for my rep!
"I remember now. I meet you five years ago." I said
"That's right. How have you been?" She asked, still smiling, did she ever stop?
"Good, how about you?" I asked out of sheer politeness, I looked at Kagura to save me, but she seemed to be enthralled with the color of her nails at the time beginning.
"Very well. I've opened a small business" She replied.
"That's nice, um, how's Inuyasha? Has he returned?" I knew the answer, but I was trying to make a conversion here!
"Yes, he enjoyed spending time with his father." I glanced about, spying my mother not too far away.
"Have you talked to my mom yet? I'm sure she would be overjoyed to see you!" Izayoi looked at my mom.
"She seems busy at the moment." Kagura handed me her phone, there was a text that read 'this is weird' I quickly typed back 'I know' Izayoi noticed it, and looked at me funny, I just smiled. Eri walked over and said it was time to open gifts. Thank Kami I thought. We watched Eri open each of her parting gifts, it was kinda sad having your old high school friends break apart. It was my last year, and I suddenly realized life was changing fast.
My friends and I spent the next couple hours, laughing and teasing each other like always. Sango told me about this new guy she seemed to like. His name was Miroku. He seemed nice, even if I didn't care for his, ahem, habits. Kagura and I decided to take a walk to enjoy the scenery while Eri got ready for her choir concert. Kagura decided to play a joke on Koga for being so mean, and called his cell phone. "Hey Koga, it's Kagura. Kagome got into a car accident, she's really hurt, and wants you to call her right away. Her cell's broke, so call mine. Bye." She said in a voicemail. I was laughing so hard! Ok so it was mean, but I couldn't help myself. We sat on some rocks by the edge of the road. I told her alittle more about Koga, and our long-distance relationship. "It's kinda hard, but we seem to be making it work." I said, I opened my mouth to say more, when Izayoi walked up. "What are you girls talking about?" She asked, her face a look of pure innocence. "I'm sure you already know" I was referring to how my mother seemed to blab my personal life to everyone in the whole world. She looked at me. "I have no idea." "Oh, I was just telling Kagura about this boy I like. His name is Koga." Izayoi shook her head. "No idea who he is." Good was my only thought. "So are you going to the concert too?" She smiled again. "Yes, I just need to go pick up my son." OH NO! Not HIM! "I see, well then I'll see you there then." Izayoi laughed "Yes you will. Bye." She walked away. I looked at Kagura, my look simply said HELP ME!
