Kagome's snickers soon died down, but the smile on her face didn't. Watching the man across from her, it was interesting to see that he was actually pouting!
"Well, to answer your question, I have a younger brother... Well, half brother..." she looked off to the side, wondering what Inuyasha would say to that. "My grandfather, and my mother, whom I'm sure you remember."
Oh did he ever. But he highly doubted that Kagome wanted to hear anything about that.
"And your, step father?"
"He died when I was eight. A year after Souta was born. Car accident." her face dropped to something unreadable. "I feel actually pretty guilty about that."
"Why? You were a kid, how could you feel guilty about something you had no control over?"
"I got to know that man as if he were my own father. Do things with him, have memories of him. But Souta... he never got that. So, I told him stories of what he was like when he was alive, get him to experience our... his father through those stories. But, now I have a father all over again, Souta... still doesn't have one though."
Tony was once again shocked, if not a little awed. To think, Kagome thought so deeply for one her age, cared so deeply about others, when most people in this day and age, would rather use each other to climb to the top.
AN: Hmmm. If you read Unexpected as well, then you most likely know of my current situation. If not, I'll say it again. Unexpected no longer has any back log, and since I want to update the two parallel I'm unsure of what to do. I'll post on my Facebook page the issue at hand so you can all get a better understanding of what I'm at odds with. Your input on the subject matter would be -greatly- appreciated. Other than that; read, enjoy, and review!
