~*~Chapter Two, Mamas and Dreams
"Mama!"
No answer.
"Mama!!"
No answer.
"MAMA!!!"
Still no answer.
Kagome banged on her mother's door, helpless tears streaming relentlessly from her eyes. "Mama. Mama please answer." It had started to rain, harshly but steadily, and Kagome was so afraid, she could hear her own heart beating, drumming obtrusively in her throat. It was as if everything in Kagome's whole world depended on whether her mother came to the door or not.. And in a way. It actually did.
Finally, a middle aged looking women open the door just a crack. When she saw who was waiting there, she gasped silently and whispered, "Kagome! Kagome its you! I've been waiting all night. Where is.?"
"In the trunk. I know she suspects something, I can see it in her eyes. What am I going to do? This is so much scarier than what I had imagined. I wish. I wish."
Mrs. Higurashi looked sympathetically at her daughter, and said bravely, "I know what you wish Kagome. But you have to be brave. Now please come in side, you're getting all wet. I'll get Aina. Grandpa and Souta are in the kitchen, go see them." Kagome nodded and went into her former house. She was not normally so cowardly, but it was all so hard for her. And she hadn't seen him in so long.
Aina heard a voice. It was calling her name, seeming distant, although it was probably just muffled by the door of the trunk. "Aina!" it called. It was a bit quiet, as if it was trying to be heard by Aina, and only Aina, but it sounded as if it were wanting for her to hear so much. It was not her mother, although it had the sweet welcoming tone that reminded her so much of Kagome. The voice sounded brave, like Kagome's normal voice, but different. Older. It was Grandma! However, Aina was not fooled. Her mother had told her that she was not to move or call out until her mother specifically said, and Aina was not about to disobey Kagome. She held still.
Mrs. Higurashi opened the trunk. "Aina!" she whispered. "Aina where are you?" She looked down at the blanket. Lifting it up a bit, she saw the ebony hair, and, as she had expected, silvery ears of Aina. "Aina! Aina it's me, Grandma! Aina?" But Aina didn't budge. 'You have to be strong!', Mrs. Higurashi thought to herself, picking the blanket, with Aina in it, up.
When she got back in side, Kagome was crying on the couch, and a twelve- year-old Souta was holding her hand trying to comfort her. "Please sis! It's ok! Please stop crying!" Mrs. Higurashi set the blanket down next to Kagome, saying to Kagome's grandpa "Dad, go park the car around back. Here's the key. Souta, gather all of your sister and niece's things and bring them down to the basement."
Grandpa nodded and Souta said "Hai.", before rushing out of the room.
With them gone, Mrs. Higurashi went over and sat next to her daughter, lifting her chin so they were eye-to-eye. "You HAVE to be brave Kagome. You're the Mama here, not me. She's scared, she won't move. She wants answers Kagome, and I'm not going to be the one to give them to her!"
Seeing as Kagome was not going to get much sympathy from her mother, she did what she knew she had to. Drying her eyes, she gently lifted the blanket from Aina. She swallowed hard and said softly to her still daughter, "Aina? Aina it's me, Mama. You can move and speak now. I know you probably want some answers."
Aina sat up and looked at her "Yes." She stated bluntly "I do."
Kagome looked at her mother. "I think I'm going to have to talk to him before I tell her anything. I might say the wrong thing."
Mrs. Higurashi nodded. "I can't blame you for that. You should leave as soon a possible, but spend the night here first." She looked to Aina and added, "And at least tell your poor daughter SOMETHING."
Kagome looked back to her daughter. "Aina, I want you to listen carefully to what I am about to say. You're going to have to do everything grandma tells you until I get back. She's the boss now. Your going to have to sleep in the basement for now, don't worry, grandma fixed it up for you, and nobody must know you're here. I promise to give you answers to everything else when I get back. Got it?"
Aina looked at her feet regarding this for a moment, and finally said, "Yes Mama, show me to my room."
~*~ That night, midnight
There were no windows in the basement, just lights; so, Aina had nothing to stare out at. Her only choice was sleep, which was a choice that happened to come instinctively.
And therefore, she dreamt. Her dream was not so abnormal; it was about someone she dreamt of often, ever since she could remember. A man. A man with long silver hair. And dog-ears. And claws and teeth.. He was very strong. But this dream was different. In all the other dreams, he had scared her, that dog-boy, and he had always been running from demons or fighting them. Running. that's what he was doing in this dream. But, again, it was different. This time, he was running towards someone, with an excited happy expression etched into his face. Faster and faster he flew though the trees, running though the windless forest, and finally, with a jolt, reached a well that Aina had never seen before. Then, time seemed to stop. He stood, with his hair blowing with a soft gust, facing a girl with ebony black hair, whose hair was also blowing in the wind softly and steadily, in the same rhythmic motion that his did. It was. It was. Mamma! She was smiling. Smiling at the dog-boy. who was also smiling.
It was such pretty picture, they looked content, relived, and as if they hadn't seen each other in a long time. The sun was out, and there was a glorious display of vegetation all around them. Suddenly time started again, she ran to his embrace, and they were laughing and crying, spinning around, unable to speak with happiness. Like a family. Happiness. Family. And when Aina awoke, she was thirsty for both of those things.
*Clears throat* Ahem. I would just like to make an announcement that for those of you who like Inuyasha humor, please read the story (its in my list of favs) Kagome's Diary. ITS SOOOOOOOOOO FUNNY! Enjoy!
Anyewho. CLICK THE LITTLE BLUE BUTTON! YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO!
