Chapter Four: The Shrine!
After the date, the girls went back to their house and the boys to theirs. Sango and Miroku had decided that if they kept Inu Yasha and Kagome together for much longer that they would kill each other.
Kagome had thought that the date had been a disaster. Sango, on the otherhand, had thought it went pretty well, despite the fact that somehow Miroku's hand had managed to find her ass, towards the end of the date.
Well it was Sunday. They would be going to visit grampa today...
"Come on Mom...You have to have someee idea where you left them?" Kagome said, irritated. They were going to be severely late. Mom just had to lose her keys.
"Okay...Where was the last place you remember leaving them?" Sango asked calmly.
"Um...on the coffee table next to the couch..."
"Well they're not there anymore." Kagome said.
"I know. I'd blame it on Souta... But seeing as he's in Japan with your family, Sango, that wouldn't be very logical." Everyone laughed.
Kagome, deciding she was thirsty, wondered into the kitchen. "You thirsty Sango..." She trailed off... "What the hell..." Sango heard her mutter... and if she had heard, so had her mom.
"What was that?" She asked curtly. Obviously she had heard.
"I said I found them!" Kagome corected, quickly.
"That's what I thought you said! Where'd you find them?"
"You wont beleive this...!" She said in complete disbeleif.
"Where!?!" Sango and mom demanded.
"In the fridge?!"
"Okay Let's...Just...Go..." Mom said in confusion.
The drive there seemed long and boring. In all realities, the ride was no such thing. Mom was a crazy person behind the wheel! The ride, which would take 45 minutes if you went the speed limit, only took 30 minutes. And they had narowly avoided several collisions.
Kagome seemed undaunted, so Sango took this as normal and shoved her worry aside. She also wasn't going to bother about worrying about meeting grampa... If he was like any of the family members she had already met... then he would be very kind and would accept Sango into the family instantly.
When they arrived, and had climbed out of the car, grampa rushed out of the front door of the shrine. "My daughter!!!" He exclaimed. "My Kagome! And is this my Sango?!"
"Yes sir." Sango answered, respectfuly.
"No no... This wont do at all..." he mumbled. Then began circling Sango like a hawk.
"Excuse me sir?" She asked.
"Grampa stop it!" Kagome ordered. "She has no demons under her skin! Don't worry!"
"We can't have you calling me sir! Makes me seem so old! Call me grampa or gramps or some similar name!"
"Okay, grampa."
"There! That's better, dear!" He said. "So how is Souta?" He asked turning towards mom.
"Fine, as far as I know. I talked to him last on Friday, and I don't think much could have changed by now." She figured.
"That's wonderful! Is he enjoying Japan? Where is he staying? Did you know the family?" He asked, full of questions.
"Yes, he's enjoying it. He's staying at Sango's house with her parents and little brother Kohaku. We don't personaly know the family but we figured if we have there child and they have ours what harm could they do? No offense dear, dad is very cautious." Mom said, adding the last little bit for Sango.
"That's wonderful!"
"So are you going to invite us in? Or are you going to make us satnd out here all night?" Kagome asked.
"Hmmph... Like I need to invite you in! You'd come in anyways!" He insisted.
"You have to love us grampa." Kagome told him.
"Yeah yeah don't remind me..." He said smiling behind his hand as he led everyone indside.
As Sango got closer to the door and moved inside, she noticed that there were tons of magical seals and scrolls everywhere. Wow! When they said superstious they meant it!
"Would you all like tea? Snacks? Anything? Just ask."
"Tea would be nice." Sango said.
"Yeah grampa, tea's cool."
"Tea sounds good right now."
"Okay! You three lovely ladies just sit here and chat, while I make us some tea!"
"Is he always so cheerful?" Sango asked.
"Yup." Kagome and mom answered.
A few moments later, grampa came back with a tray that held four cups of tea, a bowl of sugar, a milk pitcher, a lemon juice bottle and four small spoons. They each made their tea as they liked it and drank.
"So Sango? How old are you? You're from Japan? Our blood line originated in Japan."
"I'm 16. Same as Kagome. Yes. From Japan. It looked like you were all japanese."
They talked for several more hours. About random odd things. Kagome felt out of place, noticing that she was the only one in the room who hadn't actually seen Japan.
Despite the fact that she was bored, Kagome was glad to be away form their house and that iritating Inu Yasha! Suddenly she was shocked out of her thoughts by an abrupt ringing.
"Phone! I'll get it!" grampa said. " Dear it's for you... It's from Japan..." He sounded slightly worried.
"Okay..." She said taking the phone. The conversation with the person in Japan, only lasted a few minutes, five at the most, but by the time she got off the phone she looked really sick and pale.
"Mom? What's wrong?" Kagome asked.
Sango had a bad feeling about this.
"I'll tell you at home. Dad? Sorry. We need to go home. I'll call you and tell you about it later."She said oddly nervous and tired looking.
