Author's Notes: *Sniff* I don't feel too good. *Cough* Ugh, throat hurts. Maybe going out and playing in the snow wasn't such a good idea. Ow, arm hurts now. Nose stuffed.

Mother Talk
Kagome
By deadkitty1
Aromas of perfumes are mixed in a room. On the bed was a cat basking in the sun with its tail wagging back and forth in the air. A girl was sitting on her chair with overflowing books and papers on her table.
"Let's see… Inverse square law… slopes… Mongols… essay," said the girl to herself, "Uh! Buyo, why does this have to happen to me! I've done the science, math, and social studies tests! Now I have to do an essay an on a stupid book and complete this whole bunch of homework!"
"Kagome, dear!" cried her mother's voice, "I brought you a snack to help you study."
Kagome sighed, "Thanks mom. Inuyasha's probably gonna come and drag me down to find the jewels again…"
"Well honey," as her mother sat down on the bed next to the cat, "By the story you told us, it was your fault for breaking that jewel thing and you will have to fix your mistake!"
Kagome looked annoyed, "Mom! Doesn't it annoy you that I'm missing school almost everyday?! Don't you want me to get graduate?!"
Kagome's mom looked shocked at her sudden yelling, "Of course it makes me mad about you not getting your education but look at what you learned. I've seen you used old fashion herbs for healing that work then any old pill! You've actually listened to grandpa's stories and your knowledge of history has expanded!"
The girl smiled and stretched her arms. Her mother gently petted her fat kitty. All of a sudden, there was an intrusion on the peaceful scene.
"Mom! Have you seen my shoes?" asked a little boy.
"They're in the refrigerator!" answered her mother.
"Okay! Thanks mom!" smiled the little kid.
Kagome looked confused at her mom and her brother. She shrugged it off.
"Say, mom?" asked Kagome.
"Yes?" replied her mother.
"WHY do you let me go back to feudal Japan?" she asked while eating the snack.
Her mother smiled and went over to where she was sitting and took another chair, "Kagome, like I said before, you have to fix your mistake. Also from the way you act, you look happy to go to the other side of that well. Your grandfather also enjoys concocting up these weird diseases."
"Aren't you worried that I'll get eaten by the demons or even DIE?!" reacted the girl.
"DEMONS?" shouted her mother, "YOU NEVER TOLD ME ANYTHING ABOUT DEMONS?!"
Kagome smiled weakly, "I was kidding, mom. Um… do you know how to solve this problem?"
Her mother's eyes shined, "This is easy. First you have to write the equation to slope-intercept form like this:
4x - 3y = 2
-3y = -4x + 2
y = 4/3x – 2/3
So the slope is 4/3. The you use the slope-intercept form which is y = mx + b so you plug in the points (4,0) with 4/3 like this:
0 = 4/3(4) + b
0 = 16/3 + b
-16/3 = b
So then the equation will be complete and it would look like this:
Y = 4/3x – 16/3"
Kagome looked stunned, "Wow mom! That's amazing!"
"Ah! Kagome, Where was I?" her mother said naively.
"You were on the part about um… how you don't want me to miss school?" said the girl uncertainly.
"Right, now I know that it's wrong for you to miss school and goodness knows that your father will be mad at me! But I have this feeling that you're suppose to be there for a reason. I don't know what it is but I think it's about putting back the pieces of that jewel you told me about. Anyway if your graduation fails you can always take after as a priestess of this shrine!" smiled her mother.
"Okay. I got you," smiled Kagome then said innocently, "What if I told you that I wanted to stay at the other side of the well?"
"I'll say: STAY ON THE OTHER SIDE?! ARE YOU CRAZY?! YOU'RE NOT EVEN 18! That's what I'll say," calmed her mother.
The poor girl was holding her ears, "Uh, right mom. Thanks for the talk."
"Okay dear, I have to go check the laundry," and her mother left the room with the empty tray of snacks, "Also if you do want to stay on the other side of the well at least have the wedding here, honey."
"WHAT?!" exclaimed the poor dear.
"Well, you do like that cute dog-eared boy, don't you? That's why you want to stay on the other side, right? I would love him to be my little son-in…." her daughter interrupted her.
"I DON'T LIKE HIM! HE LIKES SOMEBODY ELSE!!! WHY WOULD I LIKE AN ARROGANT SLEAZY GOOD-FOR-NOTHING DOG-BOY AS MY HUSBAND?!" she screamed then noticed her mother was gone.
"MOM!" whined the daughter.
"CHECKING THE LAUNDRY!!!" shouted her mother.
Kagome sighed and went back to work on her so many to do homework things.
"MOM! KAGOME! I STILL CAN FIND MY SHOES!" yelled the boy, "WAIT! IT WAS IN THE FRIDGE! OKAY NEVERMIND!"
"Reality never ceases to amaze me!" sighed Kagome.
Right outside her window was a guy with 2 dog-ears on his head. His ears twitched every time Kagome's family yelled.
"Feh, wedding!" he barged through open window, "Yo! Come on! You've been here for 3 days long enough!"
"AH!" the girl fell over he chair, "GOD! Don't scare me like that! I thought you were a burglar!"
"Girls," puffed the dog demon, "So what's the special occasion?"
"What are you talking about?" said Kagome nervously, 'Oh no! What if he heard about me and mom?!'
"You're wearing panties with hearts on them," he said as if it didn't matter, "What's the deal?"
"WHY YOU PERVERT!" she screamed and kicked him out through the window.
"IT WAS YOUR FAULT! YOU FELL OVER ON THE CHHHHHHAAAAIIIIIIRRR!" he shouted then all you can hear is a BOOM, on the side of the window.
"It's Valentine's day…" muttered the uncanny girl.
A bit too late for valentine's day but I DON'T CARE! Bye.
