Time for a change part 22
Ok. This will probably be a smaller chapter becuase I'm not all that inspired here.
"So Kagome. Are you all over your bolimia?" Hojo asked cheerfully. Kagome nearly choked on her drink. "Uh.. Yeah I've been
feeling a lot better for a while Hojo." she said after she recovered from grandpa's new illness for her. 'I've been back for
weeks and he's still making up illnesses for me?' Hojo grinned. 'So I was right! She really hasn't been sick.' Hojo thought
triumphantly. "Has your math grade improved since you got better? It was slipping pretty low while you were sick all the
time."
Hojo continued to make small talk for a while, with Kagome answering his questions. Then Hojo leaned foreward and whispered.
"Hey Kagome, the reason I wanted to talk to you is becuase I'm worried for you." Kagome looked at him curiously. "Why?"
Hojo gave a dramatic sigh. "Well I hope I'm wrong, but I saw your boyfriend and that girl Yuna walking around hand in hand
afterschool." 'Man am I good.' Hojo thought. He had spent a good part of his day watching the two. They almost
never split up, but after school Kagome had to stay after school for an hour, and Inuyasha had left to wait.
Of course Inuyasha had mearly gone to the arcade to wait for her instead of just sitting around bored on Kagome's insistence.
'No. Inuyasha wouldn't do that. Would he?' He HAD seemed a little annoyed that she had to spend a little time after school
without him to work on planning a fundraiser for a charity group that she had been in before she met Inuyasha. 'No. Inuyasha
trusted me when he saw all those pictures in her locker. I have to trust him.' Kagome give Hojo a smile. "I think you might
have been mistaken Hojo. You see Inuyasha can't stand to be around Yuna becuase of all the perfume she wears all the time.
His nose is very sensitive to that kind of stuff." Hojo gave out a little sigh of relief. "I hope so Kagome, your so happy
with him and I hope you stay that way." 'Well my plan didn't work, but Toshio might be interested that his sister can be
used as a weapon against Inuyasha...'
**************************************************************************************************************************
"Toshio! You promised me Inuyasha!" Yuna wailed at her brother who just rolled his eyes. "Will you stop whining. Once I've
finished with him, you can have your little boy toy. His girlfriend's got him wound around her finger tight, its just taking
a littlelonger than expected to break them apart." Toshio smirked. 'Yes I can't think of any revenge better than letting my
sister have you Inuyasha.' Yuna humphed. "Well hurry up all ready!" she snapped before leaving. "Spoiled brat." Toshio
grumbled.
**************************************************************************************************************************
"Hojo its all right. You don't have to walk me home." Kagome assured as she got off the bus. 'But I want to walk you home.
My jobs to screw with Inuyasha.' Hojo thought. But there wasn't anything he could do about it without looking suspicious.
"Well, all right Kagome. See you at school!" he said cheerfully heading in the opposite direction of Kagome. He turned around
and waved. "Bye!" Kagome smiled and waved. "Bye Hojo."
Kagome sighed in relief as soon as Hojo was out of sight. 'How would Inuyasha react if he finally met 'Hobo'?' she wondered
as she walked towards the shrine. 'Probably better not let that happen. I guess I should be grateful he hasn't met him at
school.' It was especially lucky that Hojo had switched gym classes recently, no way of avoiding a confrontation there.
Kagome headed up the steps of the shrine.
She opened the door and walked in. "Hey sis." said Sota who was sitting watching T.V. "Inuyasha and mom aren't back yet.
Mom called about ten minutes ago saying that they had stopped to pick up some groceries." Kagome nodded and headed upstairs.
'Better change and take a bath before Inuyasha gets back.' No doubt with his nose he would be able to smell Hojo. She would
tell him that she had went out as friends with Hojo. She just wanted to tell him, not him smelling Hojo who had sat
next to her on the bus and getting jelous.
**************************************************************************************************************************
Mrs. Higurashi picked up an orange and inspected it before putting it in a plastic bag. She picked up another one and looked
at it. "So Inuyasha, what do you think of my daughter? I haven't seen her as much as I used to now that she has been in your
time so often." Mrs. H noticed a mark on the orange and set it down, picking up another. Inuyasha watched the orange picking
ritual. 'Its just a blasted piece of fruit, why does she take so long to pick one?' "She's... helpful." Mrs. Higurashi
mmhhmmmed and picked up another orange. "Is that all?" she asked. Inuyasha felt a little nervous. 'What does she want?' he
wondered. There was definately something going on so he decided it would be best to be honest.
"She is always looking out for everyone else. She's sort of like a mother to that brat Shippo." Inuyasha said. "She cares
more about others than her own safety, and she always seems to get into trouble and I have to go and save her." Mrs. H
finished her orange picking ritual and placed the bag into her shopping cart. She then pushed it towards another isle.
"What about her personality?" she asked. Inuyasha followed her down the isle. 'Definately something going on.' he thought.
Once again he decided that it would be better to answer truthfully. "She is kind. She's happy most of the time and laughs a
lot. She's trusting, and that gets her into a lot of trouble too. She" Mrs. Higurashi cut him off. "Do you like my daughter
as more than a friend Inuyasha?" she asked. Inuyasha knew that she already knew the answer to that question and panicked
slightly. 'Is she not going to let me be around Kagome anymore becuase I'm not a full human?' Inuyasha's ears drooped
underneath his hat and he looked down at the floor. "Yes." Mrs. Higurashi looked back at him smiling. "So when are you going
to marry her?" she asked cheerfully. Inuyasha nearly tripped and fell on his face. 'Y-your saying you'll let me marry her?!"
he asked. "Isn't she too young to get married in your time?" Mrs. Higurashi smiled. "Most people don't get married till
they are older, but some people do get married young still. I married my husband when I was very young too."
Inuyasha looked at her. "So how old are you?" he asked. Mrs. Higurashi smiled and reached under his hat when no one was
looking. She gave his closest ear a tweak and then set his hat straight again. "You don't ask women in my time that question
Inuyasha, but I wasn't much older than Kagome when I got married. My husband was several years older than me. And yes you do
have my permision to marry her as long as you are prepared to take care of her. I won't have a married daughter of mine
living in my house."
Inuyasha digested this. "Oh and I think you should take her to live in your time too. Somewhere near the well so you can
visit us." Inuyasha watched Mrs. Higurashi as she took several boxes of Ramen off the shelf. "Why my time?" he asked.
"Becuase I can tell that she likes it better there, and you'll be able to take care of her much better there. All she ever
talks about when she's here is her friends in your time, and you of course." Mrs. Higurashi started to head towards the
checkout isle. "Oh and please don't tell Kagome about any of this. Wait until you can take care of her before you talk to
her about it. She can be so rash sometimes, unlike you Inuyasha." Inuyasha grinned a little at Mrs. Higurashi, but remained
silent, thinking, as they got on the bus after paying for the groceries.
'Can I take care of Kagome? I know I can hunt and fish so food won't be a problem, but can I really take care of her well
enough?' Inuyasha looked out the bus window. 'I'll go back and get everything ready first.' he decided. Inuyasha decided he
would follow Mrs. Higurashi's advice and not talk to Kagome about this until he was prepared. Mrs. H looked over at
Inuyasha's determined looking face. 'Kagome you were very lucky to find a husband like him.' she thought happily before
pulling out a little book to read.
'Maybe I can sneak back on Sunday. Maybe I can get her friends to keep her busy.' he considered as the bus stopped and
people got off. 'Will she even want to be my mate now? Or will she want to stay here and still go to school?' Inuyasha
decided that even if she didn't want to give up her life in this time yet, if they had a place to stay in his time it would
be better than making that old hag Kaede feed them and shelter them when they came back from shard hunting. 'What about
Shippo?' the hanyou wondered. 'Kagome will want to keep him if she becomes my mate. Could I accept him as my.. son?' Inuyasha
didn't hate Shippo, in fact even though Shippo had done the wrong thing, he had started all of this anyway. Inuyasha was a
little grateful to the little kitsune, not that he would ever admit it. 'I guess I could live with the brat.' Inuyasha finally
decided.
The end of this chapter. I might post another chapter tonight at about 10 depending or I might just make two short chapters
one long for tommorow.
Ok. This will probably be a smaller chapter becuase I'm not all that inspired here.
