Chapter Nine

Lighting the incense Kagome handed the stick to Ritsuka, and watched as he placed in it's rightful position. Blue eyes gave the freshly picked Chrysanthemums an awe-filled gaze. The white blossoms were absolutely beautiful around the Buddhist altar in the Aoyagi household. Glancing over briefly at Ritsuka, she couldn't help but smile lovingly at him. Once upon a time the little cat-eared boy used to be frightened by the altars, but now he also saw the beauty in them.

The two of them prayed silently as they let themselves take in the serenity of the moment. For now, the two of them could just feel as if they could be at least a little closer to Seimei. "Ritsuka! Dinner is ready!" Snapping out of their trance-like states, Kagome sighed and then turned to Ritsuka. "Okay, I will finish up here…you can go and get ready to eat." Nodding, Ritsuka got up from the cushion under him, and went to the door.

Sliding it open he looked over his shoulder to see Kagome. The cat-eared girl was still kneeling in front of the altar, looking at Seimei's picture with a longing expression. Her shoulders were hunched and she was trembling, and Ritsuka knew that even now like him, it was hard for her. Out of everyone (excluding himself), she was the one most affected by his beloved older brother's death. Even though he didn't understand everything about love, he could see that both of them were made for each other.

Kagome and Seimei had to be soul mates! The two of them just seemed to complete each other. She even after all this time is still grieving over Seimei's death like him. For the both of them thought that living in a world without Seimei wasn't worth it. Diverting his eyes, he walked upstairs to wash his hands.

Opening her eyes, the cat-eared girl gazed at the picture of Seimei with sad yet determined eyes.

"Don't worry, I will take care of Ritsuka and protect him from any who seek to do harm."

Getting up from the mat, she made her way out the doors and down the hall to the kitchen. Running a hand through her hair, she was surprised to see that it was a lot longer than she remembered. Not long ago it reached her lower back, and now it was little under mid-thigh. 'That's right…I promised to grow my hair longer…' Smiling sadly, Kagome shook her head and continued on. 'I should reminisce at another time…I need to be here for Ritsuka!'

Clenching her fist with determination almost burning in her gaze, she walked into the kitchen to see Ritsuka eating while Misaki was watching him intensely.

"What is going on here?"

At the sound of her voice, Ritsuka's mother almost jumped a foot into the air. Ritsuka turned towards Kagome, and lifted up his chopsticks. "The food is good Kagome, you should try it!" Sending him a warm smile, she walked over to the seat with her back facing the door. Giving the older woman a discreet stoic glance, she couldn't help but admit that she savored the fact the woman was afraid of her. It was another way that she was able to protect Ritsuka if the woman knew that she would receive retaliation.

Picking up her own chopsticks, she took a slice of beef and brought it to her lips. Chewing it, she allowed herself to appreciate the taste before swallowing. Looking over at Ritsuka, she saw him looking at her with hopeful violet eyes. Smiling widely, she lifted her free arm and pet him on the head. "Your right! It is good Ritsuka!" The boy sent her a smile, and commented on how he had told her it was good.

Misaki herself was quiet, though she was watching the young boy eating with a slightly disturbed expression. The younger female already thought the older woman was deranged, and so didn't pay her much mind. But she kept her eyes on the woman. It wouldn't do for the woman to do anything stupid to mess with Ritsuka.

"Uh…"

Kagome looked up from her food and the Aoyagi matriarch stiffened. "Yeah Ritsuka?" The cat-eared boy scratched the back of his head, and looked at them with a embarrassed expression. "Well…tomorrow is Parents' Day at school…" Misaki seemed to tense even more, which Kagome didn't think was possible but the woman proved her wrong. Raising an eyebrow, she then turned her gaze towards Ritsuka.

"Is there supposed to be someone specific that is supposed to go?"

Ritsuka shook his head, and tilted his head to the side. "Well…I am sure they are expecting Dad…" The crazy woman then seemed to gain her wits back (if she had any that is, Kagome mused) and clasped her hands together nervously. "That's impossible…he has work…no way…" Sighing, the miko suppressed the urge to slap herself in the forehead.

"Yeah, I know…it's not something you have to go out of your way to see."

Seeing the saddened look on the boy's face, Kagome came to a decision. "How about I go in place of your parent's then…my class has the day off tomorrow." A large smile formed on Ritsuka's cute face, and Kagome felt warm at the happiness that was just emanate off him. "Really!?" His tail swayed from side to side in pleasure from the possibility.

Nodding, she smiled before turning her head towards Misaki. She narrowed her blue eyes on the woman, while folding her hands on her lap.

"Don't worry Aoyagi-san, I will go for Ritsuka in your place."
