Chapter 12
Once they had arrived Shippo, Kinata and Kagome were shown into the main room where Kagome's mother, Sora, Riku, Rin and Sesshomaru were. Kagome walked over to her mother with Shippo in her arms and hugged her before turning to Sora and Riku and saying, "I am sorry for my behavior."
"There is no need to apologize dear...my son deserved it." Sora said.
"Yes...my son did." Riku added.
"I'm sorry I didn't show up to work." Kagome said as she faced Sesshomaru.
"Don't worry...you didn't miss much." he stated.
"Hi Aunty Robin, how have you been?" Kinata asked as she walked over to her aunt.
"Hello Kinata...Sora, Riku, Rin, Sesshomaru this is my sisters' daughter Kinata." Robin said.
"Where's Sota?" Shippo asked.
"He's up in the game room with Sango playing basketball...Kagome are you and Kinata going to join them?" Robin asked.
"Yes mama...Sango hasn't met Kinata...call us when dinner is ready." Kagome said as they walked out of the room. "Promise you won't go around hitting people." Kagome whispered.
"I'll try." was all Kinata said.
As soon as Kagome and Shippo walked into the room Sota and Sango ran at them while Miroku and Inuyasha froze. Kagome looked relax and less tense so without thinking Inuyasha walked over to Kagome and waited for her to acknowledge him. Before she could say anything Inuyasha was punched so hard that he slid across to the floor as a girls voice yelled, "You have no right to be near my cousin you baka!"
"Kinata watch the language...Sango that's Kinata my cousin that I've told you about." Kagome was heard say.
"Hello...I'm Sango your short of cousin."
"Hey...Sota you've gotten bigger...how about you and Shippo play some ball." Kinata said as she kept her eyes locked on Inuyasha.
"Kinata, why don't you get to know Sango while I talk to that idiot over there." Kagome said as she stood in front of her.
"Fine...but if he hurts you in any way you better go visit me in jail." Kinata growled before allowing Sango to lead her to the basketball court.
Kagome walked over to Miroku and Inuyasha. After having pushed Miroku for him to leave Inuyasha turned to Kagome and was about to apologize when she said, "We need to talk...but I don't want my son or my cousin to hear us."
"Yeah...come on we can talk in the dojo." Inuyasha said as he led the way.
After walking down the hall and into a very large dojo Kagome looked around and walked over to the weapons. Once Inuyasha got the clue that she wasn't going to start this off he took in a deep breath and said, "Sorry."
"Do you mean it?" she shot back.
"Yes...I do." he answered.
After a long pause Kagome turned to him, faced him in the eyes and asked, "Why?"
"Why?" he repeated.
"Why did you listen to her? Why didn't you just leave me alone?" Kagome asked as she picked up a bow and arrow.
"I didn't want Kikiyo to leave me...I didn't even know that I was engaged until a mouth and some weeks ago." Inuyasha answered.
"Your lucky...I was never allowed to have any guy friends because of our engagement...I couldn't even go to parties." Kagome said.
"Kagome...what do we do now?" Inuyasha asked.
"Now...now we get married and we live our lives." Kagome answered.
"Does Shippo know?" Inuyasha asked.
"I would never allow my son to worry about me...I'm the parent and I should be the one worrying about him. Now come on before my cousin gets angry." Kagome answered.
"Do you forgive me?" he asked.
"Inuyasha...I can say I will try but as of now I don't forgive you for all the pain you've cause me...it's not that easy." Kagome answered before walking out and leaving a very confused Inuyasha behind.
'Does that mean she wants to?' he thought as he walked out as well.
Just as Inuyasha was about to walk back in, Kinata walked out and placed them in a barrier. Inuyasha looked at her with anger and curiosity. After waiting to make sure that Kagome would not come to stop her, Kinata turned to Inuyasha and said, "You better treat her right." in a very cold and dangerous voice.
"Feh, I already know that." he growled.
"You better...it's bad enough the bastard that raped her broke her. I don't want her to suffer any more." Kinata hissed.
"What are you talking about?" Inuyasha asked now wanting to know more about his soon to be wife.
"Look before Kagome was raped she was the type of girl that didn't curse, fight or even wear dark cloth. She use to be a preppy is you would to describe her in such a high school way." Kinata answered before walking back into the game room to join the others.
Inuyasha stood out side the door for a few minutes before walking in. Once inside he saw Kagome and Sango playing DDR on the PS2 while Miroku and Kinata talked. Shippo and Sota were playing basketball and were happy to be left alone. Just as Sango and Kagome had finished their game they heard Shippo cry and Kagome was by his side in a heart beat asking, "What happened?"
"We were playing but than Shippo claimed the pole to make a basket but fell. I think he broke his arm." Sota explained.
"Shippo...sweetie let me see." Kagome said softly as her hands began to glow a soft blue color of miko energy.
"Kagome only fully trained...miko can...heal bones." Miroku tried to say but was shocked when Kagome had managed to completely heal it with in seconds.
"I think we should get him home." Sango said.
"I think so too, Sota you coming." Kagome asked as she held a now sleeping Shippo in her arms.
"Yeah...can you convince mom to let me." Sota asked while giving her the puppy dog eyes.
"I will?" Kagome said while giving in.
"Please!" Sota yelled.
"Fine...but we all aren't going to fit in the car." Kinata said.
"We could give you guys a ride." Miroku said.
"Uh, sure...I'll go with Miroku." Sango replied.
"Fine...come on let's go tell mom." Kagome said as she began to walk to the door.
Before Sango or Sota could open the door for Kagome, everyone was shocked that it had been Inuyasha who had opened it for her. Once they all reached the parents Kagome walked over to her mother and said, "I'm taking Shippo home. Sango and Kinata are coming with me."
"What about your brother?" her mother asked.
"If you'll let him can he leave with us Auntie Robin?" Kinata stated in a sweet voice.
"But you all haven't eaten yet." Mrs. Takahashi stated.
"Miroku and I are going to get them take out." Inuyasha replied.
"What time will you two be home?" Inuyasha's father asked.
"I'll drop Miroku off at his place after Ms. Higurashi gets home." Inuyasha answered.
"Be careful." Rin told them.
"We will...let's go." Kagome said as she walked out.
Once they were all gone Sesshomaru said, "She really is very protective of her child."
"Yes...she was a mother at the age of fourteen and never once dumped the child on me like most young mothers." Ms. Higurashi said.
"I don't think I would have killed my child if that were to happen to me. I don't care if the father did force me...no child deserves to die." Rin said.
As soon as they got home Kagome went up to her room and put Shippo into her bed. Once she felt it was alright to leave him see went back down stairs to find Miroku, Sango and Inuyasha walking in with pizza. Kagome joined everyone in the living room and sat down to eat. After every one had there fill Sota play video games up in his room. Once Sota was gone Kagome turned to the two boys and said, "Why did you offer the meal...I could have cooked something."
"We wanted to...any way I was hoping we could all become friends." Miroku said.
"Sure...cuz every girl would love to have a pervert as a friend." Kinata growled out.
"Really?" Miroku asked with a hope filled voice.
"What ever...let's just watch a movie." Kagome said.
Once a good horror film was chosen every one sat down and watched. Sango sat with Miroku, Kagome however sat on the couch between her cousin and Inuyasha. By the time Kagome's mother had gotten home the movie was over. As both Kagome and Sango stood up to walk the guys out Kagome turned to the guys said, "Sorry...my son needs me...later." before running up the stairs to her sons cries.
After Sango and Kinata walked the two out they both went to there rooms to sleep. Kinata walked in and found a beautiful sight. Kagome was asleep with Shippo against her chest. Kinata changed and got ready for bed. 'Kagome...I'm sorry I wasn't there.' Kinata thought before going to sleep.
