Chapter 11

Sayonara Forever

It had been a rough night. Kagome and her mom had walked in and found Sota laying on the floor right in front of the door. How he could do that and not wake up when someone hit him with the door was a mystery that left both women baffled.

Kagome had walked up to her room in a sluggish way and threw her pajamas on. She scurried down when she heard the tea pot on the stove go off. She knew what her mother was up to. She always did it when on of her kids was upset.

She walked into the kitchen just as her mom set a steaming hot cup of milk and honey on the table. Mrs. Higurashi smiled as her daughter slid into the chair and began to sip her drink. She poured her a cup and sat down opposite Kagome. They stayed like that until Sota walked in complaining of a slight headache. Go figure. Kagome watched as her mom picked up her baby brother and carried him up the stairs.

"She really does do her very best." Kagome sipped the last of her drink and set it in the sink before going to say good night to her mother. She walked in to her room and to the window next to her bed. She looked up at the night sky.

"Good-bye forever, Inuyasha." She got in bed and fell into a deep slumber. The next morning she hopped out of bed and quickly dressed herself. She was exited to go back to school. She charged down the steps and kissed her mom.

"Bye. Love you," she hollered as she dashed out the door and across the shrine.

Kagome smiled sheepishly as she walked to school. Nothing in the world could bring her down. Sure her heart still hurt but she had to face it and move on. Saying Good-bye was hard. But she had to face the fact that she would never see him ever again. Kagome looked up at the beautiful sky. 'Thanks mom.'

flashback

"Oh momma." Kagome cried into her mothers shirt. "No matter what I do I can't forget him." She clung to her mom like a five year old child who had a nightmare.

Kagomes mom held fast to hr daughter. What could she say? She had never lost a love like this. She only ever lost her husband. But, that was a different lose. Wasn't it? She looked down at the young girl how was barely sixteen. She had found love and lost it. There was no worse pain.

Mrs. Higurashi grabbed Kagomes shoulders and ripped her daughter from her. Kagome looked at her mother with teary eyes. "Momma?" Kagome was confused. Her mom had never pushed her away when she cried. Why now?

Mrs. Higurashi looked at Kagome as her eyes too, filled with hot tears. "Kagome, I know how you feel." She took a deep breath. "Remember when your father died?"

Kagome gasped. 'That's right!' Kagome felt ashamed of herself. How could she forget that her mother had also lost the love of her life. She would never she him again.

"Darling," Her mother lifted her face up to hers. "Your father was everything good in my life. He was my rock. He gave me the two most prescious gifts in the world. You and Sota. He was my life and I loved him, just like you love Inuyasha." She kissed the top of Kagome's head. "Baby, I lost my love and you lost yours but I was able to be happy again. You need to find a way Kagome dear. You have to learn to live even if your true love is gone."

Kagome took in her mother's words. "I understand." She looked up and smiled at her mother. "I can do it." She wiped the tears from her eyes and then her mothers. She had to be brave. Her mother did it and so could she.

End

Kagome continued on to school. She wouldn't look back no matter what. She would keep on looking forward.

"Kagome?" She turned to find Hojo running up to her.

"Hi, Hojo," she smiled just as he caught up with her. They walked to school together neither one taking about the night before.

School was a blur and Kagome truely had fun. She did all her homework and laughed with her friends. She kissed Hojo, on the cheek of course. She was pretty sure that she would be able to deal with things, just a little at a time.

Sango shrieked. Miroku who was just outside came running into the hut only to have the love of his life jump on him, sending him to the ground beneath her.

"What is it, my dear Sango?" Miroku struggled to get the words out. Sango was pretty heavy. He was beginning to wonder why. Was there something she wasn't telling him?

Sango wrapped her arms around her neck and cried into his shoulder. With her weight he managed to sit up and craddle his fiancee. "Sp...spider." That was the only sound in the hut right before Miroku burst out into a fit of laughter.

Sango, who was having major mood swings because of her pregnancy, pulled back and smacked him right upside the head. "You bastard." Sango grabbed a piece of firewood and proceeded to whack the monk all over the body. "Why are you laughing at me?" Suddenly, the demon slayer fell down and cried her eyes out.

"I'm pregnant," she let it out in one heavy sob. How Miroku managed to understand, no one would ever know. He jumped up and ran outside the hut screaming at the top of his lungs.

"We're pregnant! We're having a baby!" He ran around the whole village jumping for joy.He couldn't believe that Sango and him were going to be parents. This was the happiest day of his life.
