The unforgivable: What now?
"oi that's great! But why are ye so quiet? Ye should be happy.." Kaede thought out loud.
"Oh I know it's because Kagome kissed Inuyasha and Miroku got jealous and tried to kiss Songo!" Shippo answered in a know it all tone.
Songo, Inuyasha, and Kagome blushed.
"I was not jealous.. It's not my fault Inuyasha shoved me on Songo.." Miroku lied.
"Bull! When Kagome kissed me you were all over Songo!" Inuyasha argued.
Kagome and Songo's faces were now flushed.
"Well if you didn't kiss Kagome I wouldn't have gotten the courage to kiss Songo!'
"I never kissed Kagome she kissed me! And yes you would perv!"
"no"
"yes"
"no"
"YES!" Now shut the hell up and stop bringing me and Kagome into this at least I love her you only did it because you were jealous that I finally kissed the woman I love and you never!" He was steamed.
"I… Inuyasha…" Kagome nearly whispered.
Everything went silent.
"I..I need some air" Inuyasha ran out of the hut before anyone could ptotest.
"I'll be back.." Kagome ran after him.
Kagome slid down the trunk of goshinboku.
"Inuyasha.. Can we talk?"
"What's to talk about I just embarrassed you in front of everyone.. Who would want a low life, filthy hanyou like me?" his ears flattened to his scalp.
"You never embarrassed me, and you're not a low life, filthy hanyou!" She nearly screamed the last part.
"Yes I am! and you're only a mere mortal! You wouldn't understand.." He whispered the last part.
"Of course I understand, I know you better than anyone knows you, Inuyasha you're my best friend."
At that she got up and looked up at him sitting on his favorite branch of goshinboku.
"I have to go home.. my mom wants me home for new year's, and I would love it if you went with me." She offered.
"I don't know Kagome.. What would your mother think?"
"You know she loves you, and she would love for us to be in a relationship." She blushed.
"What do you mean?" He blushed.
"Well.. Uh.. I.. Oh we got to go it's sundown." She laughed nervously.
"Oh.. kai." He jumped off the branch trying not to blush.
The rest of the way to the well was very awkward between the pair. When they arrived Kagome sat at the lip of the well ready to jump in when two strong hands grabbed her waist and jumped in with her, a blue glow of light signified they were traveling 500 years into the future. They were finally at the bottom of the well; Inuyasha jumped out and laid her gently on her feet.
He went to grab her hand, Kagome noticed this and pulled away, they both looked at each other with expression filled eyes and blushed.
"Kagome is that you?" A silhouette standing at the door frame asked.
"oh hai mom and I brought Inuyasha!" She said excitedly.
Kagome's mom then came out of the house wearing fuzzy pink slippers and a blue bath robe and hugged Kagome and Inuyasha.
"I'm so happy you both came! How about you two wash up and join us for supper?"
"Ok thanks mom!"
With that Kagome grabbed Inuyasha"s hand and ran into the house and up to her bedroom. Inuyasha's face was as red as a tomato.
"Inuyasha.. What are we going to do now? I mean Naraku's dead and we don't need to hunt for the jewel shards anymore.. So will I stay here now?"
"No Kagome, I want you to stay with us, please don't leave me!" He pulled her in a tight embrace.
"No Inuyasha I'll never leave you.. I.. I.. Lo…"
"Inuyasha quit hugging my sister, It's time for supper!" Sota giggled.
Inuyasha pulled away blushing.
"Sota! Get out of my room!" She blushed.
"alright but I'm coming back if you're not at the table in 5 minutes!" He cheerfully ran down the stairs.
Inuyasha looked at Kagome's eyes filled with question.
"I'll tell you after.." She told him.
He nodded and tried to make it less awkward "Hey lets race down stairs!"
"ok.. beat you!"
Before she could argue she dashed out the door.
"CHEATER!" He yelled and ran after her.
She giggled and stopped dead in her tracks and he bumped into her making them both fall to the floor.
"What the hell bitch, you could've gotten hu…" He was cut off.
"Mom Inuyasha's on top of Kagome! I think there wrestling!"
Kagome's mom seen Inuyasha scrambling to get off of her daughter and she tried to muffle her laughter in her arm.
"Mom we fell I swear!" This made Kagome's mom burst in laughter.
Inuyasha helped Kagome up and blushed.
"Mrs. Higurashi I'm so sorry it will never happen again I swear!"
Kagome's mom laughed so hard she started to cry. Inuyasha got pail thinking she was upset.
"It's… ok …haha… Inuyasha.. haha… This is pricless… haha!" She whipped her tears away.
"Soo… you're not mad at me?"
"Of course not!" She began to laugh again
Kagome was fuming "MOM! I can't believe you!"
"I'm sorry Kagome it's just you guys are so cute!"
They both blushed.
"Mom I got a great picture!" Sota exclaimed.
"You have what!?" Kagome yelled.
"Sota put the camera my purse after supper I'm taking the camera to get this picture printed off for the photo album!"
"ok" he happily went back to eating dinner.
"now you're supper's going to get cold"
Mrs. Higurashi walked back to the table with Inuyasha and Kagome close behind.
"mmm.. Mom these rice balls are amazing!"
"I'm glad you like them!" she smiled
"I'm full…" Inuyasha pushed his plate to the side.
Everyone's jaw dropped and they all stared at his half-finished plate.
"I think Inuyasha's sick mom!" Sota thought out loud.
"I'm not sick.. I'm full" He corrected.
then picked up his and Kagomes plates and brought it to the sink while grand-pa and Sota had seconds.
"Inuyasha how about you go have a nice shower and stay the night." Mrs. Higurashi offered.
"kai" He then went to Kagomes room to get a few things.
"I'll get him some pajamas" Kagome then quickly ran upstairs to get him pajamas and a towel.
"Here's your towel and pajamas." She passed them to him
"thanks.." he walked into the washroom.
Kagome walked in with him and closed the door behind her.
"What's wrong? You seem depressed.."
"I'll tell you after."
"ok"
She then turned on the taps for him and left him to shower.
"Kagome I need to talk to you in your room for a second." She went to Kagomes room and sat on her bed.
"Ok, coming!" Kagome quickly went to her room and sat on her bed with her mom "what is it mom?"
"Well… it's Inuyasha he seemed so happy earlier what happen between you two?"
"umm.. It's a long storie…" Kagome began
10 minutes later
"wow! What a day you all had Kagome"
"Yeah I know and now I think he regrets what he said.." she frowned
"Kagome true love is a strong thing if he said he loves you I believe it because I can tell the way he looks at you and the way he worries about you when you're hurt, he's just confused right now, you need to tell him how you feel Kagome."
"I know mom it's just… I'm nervous what if he…." She was cut off
"He loves you Kagome, this is a start to a beautiful relationship trust me."
Both woman jumps at the sound of the bathroom door opening
"well you talk it out, I'll be downstairs if you need me." She hugged her daughter and walked out.
"where's Kagome?" Inuyasha asked as she passed him in the hall.
"She's in the room." She giggled.
"Ok thanks.." He was confused at why she was giggling.
"Kagome you in here" he opened the door and stepped into her room to find her on the bed reading a book.
"oh yeah, come in!" she offered
He came in and sat on the edge of her bed.
"Inuyasha what's upsetting you? You know you can tell me anything I promise I won't leave you if that's what you're afraid of.."
"No it's not that it's just like you said earlier our adventures over, Songo will come around and then she'll leave with the monk, Shippo.. He's growing up and is going to meet another kitsune, and kaede, she's old and soon she'll be gone too.."
"You know it's possible we may stay together" She smiled
"What do you mean?"
"Well were a family and family are there for each other so no matter what happens we'll always support each other through thick and thin even if we all do split up"
"…"
"What is it?"
"Sota's spying on us.."
"Sota we know you're there come in"
"Sorry sis but I'm nervous to, you said you'd never leave Inuyasha so when the well closes you're going to stay in the feudal era with him and you won't see us for 500 years!"
"Don't worry Sota she needs you guys and she can't leave her family to be with a hanyou so she's going to stay here with you."
"but I want you to stay to, you're like my big brother!"
"Sorry Sota but I can't stay here I don't belong here.."
"I… I'm.. leaving.." Kagome stuttered.
"What do you mean you're leaving?" Both boys asked in unison.
"I'm going back with Inuyasha.."
"WHAT!?" They both yelled.
Kagome's mom ran upstairs "What's all the commotion?" She asked.
"Kagome said she's going back to the feudal era with Inuyasha when the well closes!" Sota began to sob.
"I told Kagome to stay here, she needs her family but she said she's coming back with me.." Inuyasha spoke up.
"Mom I hope you understand.." She put her head down and her bangs covered her eyes.
"Guys calm down! Sota were going to see Kagome in what seems like two weeks but in reality she will be gone for 500 years. She will be back and Inuyasha its best if she goes with you, no further questions. You both leave tomorrow and the wells being sealed."
"Mrs. Higurashi you can't, Kagome has school and her life an….." He was cut off.
"You need her.. And I'll see her soon enough no start packing any personal belongings Kagome while I get Sota downstairs."
"Ok.. Thanks mom" She mumbled the last part and sighed happily.
"Kagome, are you sure you're ready for something like this?"
"Of course I am I'll be fine!" She smiled
"ok.." He was still unsure of this but Kagome had him convinced that she was going.
"Kagome, the countdown hurry!" Sota squealed.
Kagome rushed downstairs with Inuyasha and sat on the couch with her family. Sota then put a hat on Kagome and Inuyasha.
"10, 9, 8 , 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 HAPPY NEW YEARS!" They all shouted while throwing their hats in the air.
"Alright time for bed! We got a big day tomorrow!"
After Mrs. Higurashi sent everyone to bed she got a garbage bag full of ramen for Inuyasha and a couple extra things for them in a small suitcase. Then she too went to bed waiting for the upcoming day where she has to let her daughter go. She smiled at the thought of her and Inuyasha being together. The last thing she put in the suit case was a large photo album. Turns out she's been taking pictures of them for a while.
