It was a long day from work, but quitting time was finally here. Everyone was slumped over with loosened neckties and unbuttoned cuffs. And Kagome was already on her way to picking Suki up from school. The sky was a deep orange and pink as the sun began to set on Japan. The traffic was pretty close to bumper-to-bumper, but thank God, she didn't have to take the highways.
Kagome pulled up in front of Little Tokyo's Elementary School in a sleek, black Cadillac Cien. She pressed a button near the steering wheel and the front door slid upwards. Because of this car, Kagome would never be able to get Suki off of Batman. She probably thought of her mother as some sort of bat woman. Kagome smiled and parked her car, as she used her keys to lock the car and close the doors.
As she walked in, she saw several children sitting in the Cafeteria playing around, eating snacks, or doing homework. But, before she could begin to look for Suki, she was immediately jumped and latched on by two little girls. One of them Suki, and another she assumed to be a friend of hers. Kagome smiled and laughed as she tried to pry them both off. Kneeling down, she shook the little girl's hand, as Suki wrapped her short arms around her neck.
"Mommy, this is Rin. Rin, this is mommy!" Suki said as she pointed to each respectively.
"Well, hello darling."
Rin glowed as she said hi, "Hi Suki's mommy! Rin is Rin!"
Kagome noted her speech, but really paid it no mind. "Are you here waiting for your mommy or daddy?"
"Yes! Rin's daddy will be here soon…" She looked down sadly, then to Kagome, "But if Suki leaves Rin, Rin will be lonely here."
Kagome sighed. She would like to stay but, she was so tired, "What's wrong with the kids here?" She queried, as far as she knew, the kids here seemed pleasant enough. But, Suki jumped in as if Rin was her younger sister that she felt obligated to defend, "The kids here are mean to her, because she speaks with her name!" Her chubby little face was red with anger, with eyebrows furrowed deep. "They're bullies!"
Kagome stared at them both before giving up and standing to take their hands and sit at a table with them. They immediately went back to playing and Kagome drifted off to her own thoughts. Her daughter's sense of justice and courage almost mirrored her own, it made her smile that she had that influence over her child.
It was almost 30 minutes later, before a familiar face walked through, making Kagome groan and hide her face in her hands. It was Sesshoumaru, once AGAIN. Standing up, she walked over to him, steaming with anger, "How about you stop following me, huh?" She said as she poked him in the chest, duly noting the strong pectoral muscles, "I don't need to see your face every moment of my life."
He looked down to her before swatting her hands away, side stepping her, "Do you think I want to see you?" Had he not been weary of outward appearances, he might have snorted in disgust, "Don't flatter yourself. You're nothing but a little girl who needs be taught manners."
"The world does not revolve around you." Kagome fumed before walking over to Suki, let her say her goodbyes, and picked her up to walk out of the school. "It doesn't revolve around you either, jerk!"
Sesshoumaru called Rin and held her hand to leave, 'She actually has a child? I suppose the idea of pregnant men isn't so farfetched after all."
*o8o*
Final thoughts from Sesshoumaru: "I cannot remember my late wife being anything like her. The nerve she has."
A.N.: /whistles lowly/ Ouch. On another note, maybe I should start saying the chapters will be between 100-650 words. I can't seem to stop writing. xD Suggestions and critiques are always welcome, but they only come through reviews! /wink/
