Ch. 57 The Whole Truth
I don't own Inuyasha
"Kagome would you like to sit down?" she asked tentatively.
I nodded and sat down preparing for the bombshell I knew she was about to drop, unfortunately I didn't know what type of bombshell.
"Err" My mom sat down next to me, "You remember when we first moved here?" I nodded, "Well while we were unpacking I began looking through your grandfathers old books" She paused for a moment to see how I was reacting.
I felt a chill roll down my spine, even mentioning my grandfather brought back the memories.
My mom continued, " Well I found another part of the journal, he wrote it only about a month before he died. the curse had another side effect" she looked down at her shoes, "Kagome, when you fall in love with someone and they admit there love to you, well if you stay with them. I'm sorry honey, I should have told you sooner, I just thought this would pass"
"Mom please finish" I wanted this to be over with.
"Kag, the spell worked by killing the family of grandpa, that wasn't blood related to him, it also killed him because he was the one who exacted the spell, you were just sort of a battery"
I winced a bit, even if I didn't know what I was doing, it was still my fault, no matter what mom said
"Well, honey since you were also part of the spell, being in love with someone will, at least to the curse make you family, or at least related in someway, if either of you admit your love to the other, the spell will be trigged, and unless you two are cut off from each other, he will die too."
I sat there silently, letting her words soak in, "mom, by he you mean Inuyasha?" I slowly looked up to her.
She nodded.
I felt my eyes flood with tears, and before my mom could say anything I had ran up the stairs to my room and slammed the door.
I threw myself onto my bed and screamed into my pillow. I let loose all my anger and rage, the same emotions I had been taught to oppress. I let the fury flow threw me as I screamed again. I heard glass shatter throughout the house, I didn't care. 'When I finally find happiness, it's taken away again!' A vase on my desk full of the flowers Inuyasha had given me a couple of nights ago burst. I stared down at my hands, "what did I ever do to be so cursed?" Suddenly I felt my energy drain out of me, my rage turned to misery and I slowly cried myself to sleep.
RING
I rolled over in my bed, and glanced over to my desk. No shattered vase. No Scattered flowers. "Was it only a dream?" I asked myself, looking around my room for any sign that the events of last night occurred. I didn't notice anything out of the ordinar-
RING
I smiled, 'Just a nightmare', I reached over and picked up the phone, "Hello Higurashi residents"
"Hey Kagome" I smiled, just hearing his voice made me feel better about last night's dream.
"Hey Yash, I am so glad you called" and I was, who better to call than him to make me feel better?
I could practically hear him grin on the other end of the line, "oh yeah, and why is that?"
"Because I like the sound of your voice" I replied.
"I know, it's just because my voice is sexy right?"
"I believe so" I wasn't in the mood to play games with him, I was just grateful that he was still mine.
"Oh" he sounded surprised for a second, " well I knew that" a very short second, "So do ya wanna do something today, I was thinking along the lines of you and me and a nice big empty house, then after that we could go out for dinner?" , his voice seriously was sexy, but not the macho- intentionally-sexy, just the has-no-idea-how-cute-he-really-is-sexy.
"All right, but give me an hour, I have to make myself all pretty for you" I agreed.
"Kagome you're always gorgeous, well I'll pick ya up in am hour, bye"
"Bye", he really can be sweet sometimes.
I bustled around my room, getting ready to go see Inuyasha. After finally deciding on an outfit, I stepped out of my room.
As I made my way to the kitchen, I knew something was wrong, first off one of the pictures in the hallway had it's glass totally shattered, the bookshelf had toppled over, and when I got downstairs I could see some of the flowers Inuyasha had given me peeking out of the trashcan. 'It's a coincident, that didn't happen' I reassured myself as I sat down at the table.
"Mom what's for breakfast? I need to hurry, Inuyasha is going to pick me up in a little while" I asked as I took a look at the wonderful looking breakfast my mom was making.
"Um" My mom gave me a strange look, "French toast, eggs, sausage, and OJ" She sat a plate down in front of me, "honey is everything alright?"
I began to feel nervous, 'it didn't happen, "Mom I'm fine, why do you ask?"
"Last night you seemed to take the news pretty hard", those words hit hard, it had been true, it did happen. Wait; maybe not she might have been talking about something else.
"What news?" I asked hoping with everything I had in me that she wouldn't say the curse.
"Honey" she sat down next to me and placed her hand on my shoulder, "that if you or Inuyasha confess love, Inuyasha will die"
I suddenly lost my appetite. 'I can't imagine life with out Inuyasha, I will not let him die by my hands, I will just have to break it off with him today', suddenly another voice piped up, 'don't be stupid, enjoy what time you have left with him, don't tell him you love him, he won't, even if he does love you he'll never admit it, he's way to immature. Anyways actions speak louder than words, and he'll know you love him even if you don't exactly let him know bluntly' I decided to listen to this voice. Why give him up before I have to?
DING DONG
"I'll get it", I jumped up to go answer the door.
"Kagome" My mom gave me her what-are-you-doing look.
"Mom don't worry" I flashed her the best smile I could muster up before I yanked open the door.
"Hey Kagome" Inuyasha smiled. "Let's go Yasha" I smiled, no worries, just have fun, The little voice in my head reminded me. Yeah have fun.
A/N Don't worry it will get better, and after I get enough requests for the first side story I will post it.

GAHHHHHHHHHHHH! This is not a soap Opera! AHHHHHHHHHH! Don't scare me like that! I just like to leave the chapters off with cliffhangers because I am an evil bitch. You forget it. Anyways I have an irrational fear of soap operas, especially the Spanish ones, I never can understand what they're saying.
thanx
