Title: Isolated
Chapter Fourteen: Three Years Later
17-year old Kagome, looked out the window bored. Summer had finally come in a month ago, and there was a month left of freedom. She had one year left of high and then she'd be FREE. When she was bored, she study stuff and reread books. The one thing she wanted was to be in Inuyasha's arms.
He'd been out of town for a month and was suppose to come back this day, but who knew. There was a knock at her door, and she called,
"Come in!"
"Still moping?" asked Rin, walking in, and falling onto Kagome's bed.
Rin was already out of high school, and was now working on moving in with Sesshomaru. Whom had also left with Inuyasha. She'd been leaving for college soon as summer ended. Kagome huffed,
"Aren't you?"
"Yes," whined Rin, "I miss Fluffy."
Kagome giggled, "Didn't he tell you not to call him that?"
"I'll call him anything I want." pouted Rin.
She laughed and rolled her eyes, "You'll drive him insane."
"I know." piped Rin.
Kagome asked, "They'll be back today?"
"I don't know, I text Sesshomaru, and he said it might be a while longer." sighed Rin.
Kagome sighed heavily, "Just what are they doing in America anyway?"
"I don't know." shrugged Rin.
There was another knock at the door and Sienna peeked into the room. She smiled and asked,
"How you two holding out?"
"Fine." smiled Rin.
Kagome's eye twitched, she tried to stop herself from glaring, but it could not be helped. Her mother had remarried a man by the name, Joben Kentaro, who had a son that never spoke. His name was Bankotsu Kentaro. She use to catch him watching her and glaring at Inuyasha sometimes, but only snapped at him once. Anyway, since Sienna remarried, Kagome began to have more and more arguments with her.
Kagome fiddled with the tiny jewel on her neck, which Inuyasha had given her. On her 15th birthday. It was a purple/pinkish color. Blackness swam in it whenever her emotion wasn't clear. It was kind of creepy, but she just mistook it as it being sometime of mood tracker.
Sienna looked into Kagome's glaring eyes and frowned,
"Stop staring at me in such a way Kagome."
"Whatever." hissed Kagome, looking away.
Sienna snapped, "Would you stop acting this way Kagome!"
"Would you leave me alone! Every time I look at you, you think something's wrong with me!" spat Kagome, shooting out her seat.
Her mother snarled, "Kagome, I'm warning you!"
"Warning what! What are you going to do? Smack me!?" spat Kagome, recalling a moment her mother hit her for speaking of how she changed when her parents divorced.
Sienna took a irritated voice, "I am not arguing with you!"
"Then get the hell out!" spat Kagome.
Joben stopped in the hall, and looked at Kagome, "Don't talk to her that way!"
"Can you all just stop!" yelled Rin, knowing Kagome was about to blow a fuse.
Kagome slipped on her flip-flops, packed some clothing, and stomped out the house. Sienna yelled,
"Kagome, get back here this moment!"
Kagome didn't sat anything, she slammed the door behind her, and stomped down the sidewalk. After a couple of miles, she reached Inuyasha's house. She knocked on the door, and Izayoi opened it. Izayoi asked,
"Another fight?"
"Yes." nodded Kagome, trying hard to calm herself.
She smiled, "Come in, we can talk."
"Mind if I stay here for a while? I know it's a bit lonely since Inu Taisho, Inuyasha, and Sesshomaru left."
Izayoi laughed after closing the door, "That's really not true since you come here everyday, and stay for gaps at a time."
"I don't me to be a-
She cut her off gently, "It's okay dear, you're no burden to me. Lemonade?"
Kagome nodded, sat her stuff done, and followed her into the kitchen. The house was nice and cool, and Kagome was calming down quickly. They sat at the table and talked. Izayoi asked,
"It's been that hard?"
"Yeah, and that Joben guy gives me that creeps. Still. Mom acts all happy around him, and when she makes mistakes she starts crying. Suspicious isn't it?" asked Kagome, swirling her straw into her drink.
The indigo eyed woman nodded, agreeing. Kagome thought and then asked,
"Do you think he's hurting her in some way? Like some type of abuser."
"I wouldn't know, I haven't met this man, nor seen your mother in a while. You should talk to your father about it." suggested Izayoi.
Kagome shook her head, "He's been to busy, and he hasn't visited since January."
"It's been that long?" asked Izayoi, concerned obvious in her soft face.
Kagome nodded, "Yeah, I've talked to him on the phone, and he keeps making promises. He breaks them, sends me a gift, and then it starts all over again. I don't see how Rin takes it all."
"Perhaps it's because of a certain demon." giggled Izayoi.
Kagome laughed, "Yeah. She'll be leaving soon, and I'll be by myself. With my crazy mother, supposed abusive step-father, and a mute step-brother. Souta moved with dad after mom remarried, so… it's just me."
"You'll be to busy to even notice you're alone. This is your last year, and you'll be going off to college. To be a Research Scientist." smiled Izayoi. "Then you and Inuyasha will get married, and have my grand-children."
Kagome turned beet red, "Izayoi, that wasn't really necessary."
Izayoi laughed. After they finished their conversation, Izayoi left to go get some groceries. Kagome stayed and decided to do some reading. She sat in the guest room, laying on her bed, reading 'The Telling Pool' by David-Clement-Davies. She nibbled at her bottom lip as some action began to rise in the story.
She heard the door close downstairs, and she figured Izayoi was back. Kagome book-marked her page, and closed it. She got up, walked out the room, and downstairs. Kagome didn't notice the bags on the side of the stairs, nor the deep voices in the kitchen. When she walked into the kitchen to ask if Izayoi needed help, she froze.
There before her stood Inuyasha, Inu Taisho, and Sesshomaru. Kagome smiled,
"Inuyasha! You're back!"
She ran over to him, and giving him a tight hug. Inuyasha hugged her back and asked,
"What are you doing here?"
"I had another fight with my mom, but that doesn't matter." smiled Kagome.
Inuyasha guided Kagome out the kitchen and up to his room. Leaving a moping Sesshomaru, and a laughing Inu Taisho. Upstairs, he asked,
"What I miss?"
"Nothing much." smiled Kagome. "I missed you."
Inuyasha smirked, "I missed you too."
He captured her lips into an eager lips, Kagome wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him back. She pulled away slightly, and smiled up at him. He smirked back,
"Sango and Miroku are going to this party tonight, want to go?"
"Sure." smiled Kagome.
He smirked and captured her lips once again into a passionate kiss.
