Innocent Love: Chapter 2
Kagome looked at the raging woman, wondering who she was.
'Oh god! I hope Sess isn't a married man!' she thought, while climbing down from Sesshomaru's torso.
"You two! Get your asses out here! You've got some explaining to do!" said the furious woman.
Sesshomaru began following the crazed female out the door, being quickly followed by Inuyasha.
Kagome sighed, hoping that this woman was a family member through blood, not marital status. She looked around at the house she so missed, thinking on how much it hadn't changed.
"Well, hello there, Kagome. I didn't expect this reunion until later on. Welcome home, my dear!" said a warm voice.
"Hey, Papa!" she said, hugging Mr. Taisho fondly.
How have you been, my child?" he asked
"Oh, I've been miserable without you guys" she said, throwing on a dramatic show for her unofficial father.
"Well, I'm glad that I wasn't the only one who felt the same!" he said, laughing all the while.
"So, when do you plan on taking a tour of Tokyo U.?" he asked, trying to keep Kagome busy for his son.
"Oh, I was thinking about going up there today. I've been studying the layout, so I won't get too lost." Kagome said, laughing slightly.
"So, who is that woman who hauled off our boys?" she asked, curious if the man she loved, loved another woman.
With the boys:
"Izayoi, you'd better have a good explanation for all of this" Sesshomaru said, glaring at the mad woman.
Ever since his mother died, this woman had been there to comfort his father, but when she'd had Inuyasha, she'd fled the country. It was only recently when she had seen what Sesshomaru had become that she came back. Now, every moment she had, she would try to gain his trust, and become his mate. His father had been completely oblivious to it, but he hadn't.
"Why didn't you two meet me for lunch? I was waiting for an hour!" the woman complained, using her annoying girlish voice.
"We had not heard of this engagement, therefore you have no reason to be angered. Perhaps next time you plan something like this, you should tell us about it before we are supposed to meet. Now stop your insistent yapping and come meet my intended" he said calmly.
Izayoi looked shocked. She hadn't heard that Sesshomaru had an intended bride, this would certainly not do. She sneered at the thought of another woman having this god. No, this would definitely not do. She would have what she wanted, no matter what.
She began her plan as they walked inside to meet this woman. 'This dead woman' she thought with an evil smirk. If Sesshomaru thought that by having a fiancée was going to stop her, he was wrong.
With Kagome and Mr. Taisho:
"So she is your wife? I thought that Inuyasha's mother ran away after he was born" Kagome said, wondering what could possibly bring the woman back.
'How could he take her back after all this time?' she thought sullenly.
"That, my dear, is a story for another time" he said with a sad expression.
They turned when they heard footsteps coming from the door. Kagome saw the look on Sesshomaru's face and wondered how such a sweet face could look so mean.
"Kagome, come. You will meet my stepmother, and then we shall leave. We have much to do" said Sesshomaru. He would ask her to marry him tonight.
He had bought a gorgeous sapphire and diamond engagement ring especially for the occasion 5 years ago.
"Okay, Sess!" she said giddily. She had waited 7 years to see her love alone once more, and she was getting impatient.
"Izayoi, come here, darling" Mr. Taisho urged the livid woman to his side.
"This is Kagome; she's hopefully going to be your new daughter-in-law" Mr. Taisho blurted.
He sensed the tension in the room rise to phenomenal heights as Izayoi's face turned slightly red. The woman had promised him that she would leave his son alone. He would definitely have to talk to her about this when the two had left. He had also caught the slightly jealous scent of Inuyasha as he'd mentioned the intended engagement.
"It's very nice to meet you, Miss Higurashi… I hope to see you here often… We should have tea together sometime," Izayoi said, with a slight angry lisp.
"Of course, Mrs. Taisho. I'll be looking forward to it" Kagome said, slightly confused by the hostility.
"Come, Kagome. We have much to do," said Sesshomaru, glaring at his stepmother all the while. She would get a piece of his mind when he and his Kagome got home. He would not allow that vile piece of trash to treat his woman in this way.
Sesshomaru grabbed Kagome's elbow gently, and pulled her along with him to begin their day. He would propose to her tonight and hopefully she would say yes. He looked down at his angel from the past, willing her to take his hand. He was surprised when she spoke up.
"So what's wrong with Izayoi? It seemed like she was a little miffed about something. Is she okay?"
"The bitch is just menstruating, she will be fine. Have you eaten yet?" Sesshomaru asked, already knowing her reaction to what he'd just said.
"Food! Yes, food!" she exclaimed, jumping on Sesshomaru's back while pointing forward. "Onward, boy! Find food for your master!" she yelled giddily.
Sesshomaru sighed, and grabbed hold of her legs, so she wouldn't fall, and continued to carry his love to his favorite restaurant.
Aura: Well, review please. I love you all. God bless!
