Mrs. Higurashi paced in the kitchen of their shrine. She knew she should be
hiding how nervous or even how scared she was for her son's sake, however
at the moment she didn't care. A doctor had called from the hospital no
sooner than an hour ago and said not only were they worried about her
daughter physically but mentally. They said she would be a total wreck when
she finally was able to awake and stay awake. So their first suggestion was
to send a specialist over to her home to find out everything about Kagome
and her past. Was she to tell this 'specialist' about the magic well or
tell this person about her daughters husband about being half demon, or
even better, how 'bout telling about how her daughter was a reincarnation
of another priestess who was a guardian of a magic jewel. Oh this was going
to be so fun; they all probable end up in the Looney bin before the day was
over.
She laughed when she heard a loud moan from upstairs in her spare bedroom, when two late sleepers arouse from their beds. Inuyasha had grown close to his brother shortly after Naraku's death and Sesshomaru... well he became more caring because of a certain young human girl. Rin now 15 had found a soft spot in Sesshomaru and was able to wrap him around her tiny finger. Even though the two never had any intimate relationship Mrs. Higurashi could see in their eyes how much they truly cared for each other. It taken much of an hour to persuade her to allow the two to stay at her house, for they were both from the past and one WAS a demon, Inuyasha finally made her say yes. He had told her that Rin was worried for Kagome for the two had become very attached to each other. Sesshomaru well her was just there for the ride.
Sango and Miroku were to come by also but they didn't want to intrude so they were coming later that week. Little Shippo had no clue what was going on, for no one had the guts to tell the young Kitsune. Kagome was like a mother he had lost and she had even gone far enough to adopt him as her own son. They all feared the reaction of the kit so everybody refused to tell him.
A sleepy eyed Rin came down stairs in a pair of blue sweatpants and blue sweatshirt while Sesshomaru followed in his normal clothing refusing to wear anything they had offered him from this time.
"Good mornin'" Rin yawned to Mrs. Higurashi.
"Hello honey I take it you is hungry?" She said politely. Rin nodded enthusiastically and slid into one of the many chairs in the kitchen. Sesshomaru followed suit only he was as silent as he always was. "Good morning Sesshomaru."
"Mmhmm" He nodded in her direction showing that he acknowledged her.
"I have a doctor coming over today to talk about my daughters condition so if you want you can go out for the day or go to the hospital if you want. However Sesshomaru will have to change." Mrs. Higurashi explained as she rummaged through the cupboards. Ramen, Ramen and guess what?! More Ramen. She had to stop letting Inuyasha shop for food on his own.
"This Sesshomaru refuses to wear your peasant clothing," he stated as he stood tall pride on his face.
"But Fluffy I'm wearing this clothing you speak of, do you mean that I'm a peasant," Rin asked sweetly lower her eyes and pouting.
Mrs. Higurashi giggled when Sesshomaru was at a lost of words. That girl certainly had Sesshomaru under her thumb. Huffing Sesshomaru went upstairs grumbling. Five minutes he came back downstairs wearing something similar to what Rin was wearing. Rin wore a huge smile as he sat back beside her.
"Well that's better. Anyways all I have at the moment is Ramen." Mrs. Higurashi said. Rin nodded her approval while Sesshomaru did nothing. Mrs. Higurashi knew how different the Honyou and Youkai were but she knew they both loved ramen. "Ramen it is!"
Mrs. Higurashi huffed again. Here she was pacing the kitchen yet again. Sesshomaru and Rin left some twenty minutes ago heading towards the hospital to check on Kagome and to see if Inuyasha was still sane. So here she was waiting for this specialist to arrive. She stopped her pacing when she heard knocking at the door. Walking to the front door her breath caught in her throat when she stared at the person who stood on the stoop of the house.
The woman was wearing a white tank top and a pair of white slacks along with a pair of white high heel sandals. Her long brunette hair was pulled back into a loose braid that crawled down her back. Her beautiful hazel eyes looked at Mrs. Higurashi through long bangs.
"April?" She asked in utter shock.
"I'm sorry you must have me mixed up with someone else. I am Faith and I am from the hospital that your daughter resides in, may I come in?" She asked while she bowed slightly in respect.
"Of course."
"Well I need to talk about your daughter. I need to know about most of her life in order to detect any mental illnesses that she may be suffering from. If you wouldn't mind?" She sat down in the living room when Mrs. Higurashi showed her to it.
"Nope, I'll just go grab a few things." A few minutes later Mrs. Higurashi appeared back with a couple photo albums and a few boxes.
"Okay lets get started shall we?" Faith nodded towards the albums. Mrs. Higurashi opened the fist one and flipped through a couple pages.
How long they spent going through albums of Kagome was lost to the two of them, but when Mrs. Higurashi stood up and said that was all Faith became confused.
"But we only got up to age fourteen," she protested to the abrupt stop. She knew she had to find out as much about Kagome as she could and in the same time try to heal some of Mrs. Higurashi's wounds. "Did something happen to Kagome at that age? You can tell me, trust me, I'm not as normal as I appear."
"Nothing happened to Kagome when she was fourteen for all I know. No she was a normal happy girl, but on her fifteenth birthday she was swept away from everything normal." Mrs. Higurashi brought her fingers up to the bridge of her nose to message it. "You see she fell down the well on our shrine grounds..."
And so on went the story of Kagome's life until Mrs. Higurashi got to the point in which they killed Naraku.
"...April was a wonderful girl, she may have not done everything right in her life but she protected the people she cared for with her life. She died protecting my daughter and her friends, here is a picture of all of them before the final battle." Mrs. Higurashi pulled out a bright blue album and opened it to the middle page. Faith's eyes ventured across the page when she came to a group picture causing her breath caught in her throat. "That's her." Mrs. Higurashi pointed to a girl with long brunette hair wearing a shirt that said 'Piss Off' on the front and a pair of cargo pants, along with a belt of guns and ammunition. "She died a unfair death from a horrible man and see didn't deserve it."
"She looks like..."
"You. Yes the resemblance is remarkable."
"Would you look at the time I have to go. See you goodbye." She dashed out the door before Mrs. Higurashi could say anything.
Inuyasha sat in the chair next to Kagome's bed. Now exhausted because of his brother's visit Inuyasha decided to take the chance to rest incase someone else decided to come.
"Come on Kagome, you can beat this. You can't leave us now you can't leave me. I don't know what I would do if you left me." He said quietly as his hand caressed her cheek. He stood up quickly when he heard someone knock at the door of the small room. Walking over to the door slowly he sighed as he saw who was on the other side. There standing tall was a man with red blazing hair and bright green eyes. The man looked to be in his early twenties however Inuyasha knew that he was well over five hundred years.
"How is she?" He asked.
"She's as good as she's going to get at the moment." Inuyasha answered quietly. "What are you doing here Shippo?"
"Amy, Phoenix and Tony heard some rumors so they called Chrono and Chrono called me and here I am." He said spreading his arms out. "They'll be here in the morning."
"We haven't seen each other since April's death, how are they?" Inuyasha asked as he sat down in his chair that he had occupied earlier.
"Their okay I guess. Chrono travels the world while Amy, Phoenix and Tony have a small club in Canada. They have it good I guess, the most violence they experience is two drunk guys trying to toss them some punches." Shippo and Inuyasha laughed at that remark.
"What about you? What have you been doin' Shippo?"
"Well being Lord of the Southern lands can be a pain in the ass at times, keeps you busy that's for sure. But besides that Life keeps on moving." He laughed, "although my life hasn't been nearly as exciting with April gone." His smile turned into a frown he looked around the small room they were situated in and his face turned to panic when his eyes caught sight of a glass of silver liquid. "Where did you get that?"
"The craziest thing happened to me yesterday, this lady came in and cut her arm and Kagome's hand poring their blood in that glass and told me to give it to Kagome when the doctors thought she wasn't gonna live to much longer."
"What did this person look like?" He asked urgently.
"I don't know. She was wearing a white cloak; I couldn't even get a whiff of her scent. Why?"
"I only knew one person who could knew how to do that ritual, and only a hand full of people who actually could do it."
"Who?"
"April." The two-stood there stock still with their mouths opened. They were pulled from their shock when Mrs. Higurashi strolled in casually.
"Would not believe the kind of day that I have had," she exclaimed as she slid into an unoccupied seat.
"Hi to you too. You know what, I bet it wasn't as weird as ours," Shippo laughed.
"Oh hey didn't see you there. Well anyways, the hospital called last night saying they were going to send someone over to take a look at Kagome's past. Than this woman showed up and she looked exactly like April and then when I went to ask the hospital about the results of the conversation they said that they hadn't sent anyone over."
"I have a weird feeling about all of this..." Inuyasha pondered.
"Way too weird..." They all turned to the doorway of the small room when they heard a familiar voice. Chrono stood in the door, his long black hair pulled into a loose braid that reached to the back of his knees, wearing a leather jacket, baggy black pants and a white undershirt. Amy, Tony and Phoenix walked in after him.
"I thought you weren't comin' till the morning" Inuyasha stood from his chair and shook Amy, Phoenix, and Tony's hands, however he stood and growled at Chrono. But he was surprised that instead of Chrono scowling at him or saying a rude commit his face relaxed and showed that of sympathy.
"How is she," he asked quietly.
"Not too good," Inuyasha looked at Kagome.
"Well all we can do now is wait," Chrono patted Inuyasha on the back reassuringly.
Okay for those who are completely confused or is annoyed at all these people coming in and not knowing who they are I will repeat this, THIS IS A SEQUEL! The first story was called Forgotten Regrets and it is very, very important that you read that first because there is A LOT of info in that that will be repeated in this story. It may start out slow because it was my first fan fiction but it gets better in the end guaranteed. That is the note I shall leave you on today until next time.
