Families CAN Be Replaceable
Juna- Thanks for the great review! I couldn't get my answer to it up on the chapter before this. I don't know why. So I've just put it in this chapter! I'm so happy you love my story! Do you really think I did such a good job keeping all the characters in character? Thanks! With Inuyasha, I thought I was getting a little to soft with him during the last few chapters. Oh well. As for 'kitty man', he'll be back as soon as Kyo gets back through the well. Don't worry. Inuyasha didn't scare him off. And you spell his name Mikoto. You were really close! Only 1 letter off! Good job. Moving on to Miroku. I guess you're right. Miroku really isn't a pervert unless he's around new, pretty, girls or with Sango just at the right moment. I'll try a little harder with him. I just couldn't help myself with bashing Miroku. (I'm not a Miroku hater, it's just he's fun and easy to pick on. ) I've put a new chapter out as I said before and I'm working on another at the moment. I hope you'll review regularly from now on!
AnoAnime- Yeah! Someone else likes my fanfiction! Thanks! :) Kyo's a piece of work, isn't she?
macy213- Don't worry about loosing a happy. You won't. And I won't stop writing.
Kay- Nope. There's no way I'm putting Kyo with Inuyasha. Inuyasha is ALL Kagome's (and a bit Kikyo's) Now, I'm not the biggest Kikyo fan in the world, but I respect her love, or past love for Inuyasha. Kagome, my favorite character, would be heart broken if Inuyasha went off with Kyo! But don't worry. They can still get pretty close with a sister/brother relationship.
5 DAYS TILL MY BIRTHDAY!
A little after three o'clock, I was just finishing up the Secret Garden, when Souta ran into my room. "Did mom adopt-" he started, "What happened to your arm?!" I looked down at my bandage. It was bleeding through. Luckily I had changed into a tank top so that nothing got blood on it again. I sighed. "Yes, your mom adopted me." I said, "We had to go to my old house and get my mom to sign the papers. She hurt me and now it won't stop bleeding?"
"Shouldn't you demon blood have healed it?" Souta asked. I nodded. "That's the usual thing that happens." I replied, "It just didn't happen this time." "That's weird."he commented. "Yeah." I agreed, "I'd better go downstairs and have mom rebandage it." I got off my bed. As soon as I did this, Souta hugged me. "I've always wanted another big sister." he told me.
I laughed and ruffled his hair. "I bet you never expected to have another sister, let alone an half demon sister." I said. "You're right." Souta said, "But I have you and that's all that matters."
Mom saw my bandage before I even told her. "It blead through?!" she exclaimed, "Well, let's rebandage this!" In no time mom had me sitting down in a chair and she was washing my cut out while I was trying not to squirm. It hurt so much! "That looks like a really bad cut!" Souta said looking at it, "How'd you get it?"
"Let this be a lesson to you Souta." mom said, "Not all people are nice. Kyo's mother did this to her." "With what?" he asked shuddering. "A ruler." I replied, "And it's not the first time. She's done it to me before." "That's really bad!" Souta exclaimed.
"There!" Mom said, tying off the bandage, "That should keep it. The cut doesn't seem deep enough for stiches, so we'll just have to tend to it on our own. If it doesn't stop bleeding soon I'm not sure what we will do." "I could aske Kaede if she has herbs to help the bleeding." Kagome suggested. "Yes, that might work." she replied.
I didn't see the man who was now my grandfather until dinner. "So, now I have a demon for a grandchild?" he asked mom frowning. "Yes, and you are not going to chase her around with your anti demon scrolls." she replied, "Kyo has enough bad memories of her past family. She doesn't need any more here." "I promise I won't cause any trouble." I told grandpa. "She's nice!" Souta said. "That's what you say about Inuyasha." grandpa mumbled.
"Don't mind dad." mom told me, "He's usually not too comfortable around demons or half demons. He'll warm up to you soon enough." "Have you been looking at your text books?" Kagome asked me. "Of course." I replied, "And I get it all." "I think we have a little scholar on our hands." mom said laughing.
Mom rebandaged my cut before I went to bed. "I wish it would stop bleeding." she told me, "It's starting to worry me. I think I'll get you up in the middle of the night to check and see if we need to rebandage it."
She was true to her word. At midnight exactly mom shook me awake and turned on my light. I closed my eyes. "You can keep them closed, but sit up so I can check your bandage." mom said. I did. I felt her hold my arm. "It seems to be fine." she told me. Mom sounded relieved. "Now go back to sleep. You have a big day tomorrow." I laid back down and heared the click of the light going off.
The next morning I got up early and checked my cut. It hadn't bled through, but to be on the safe side I didn't take the bandage off. I pulled on one of my uniforms and grabbed my backpack. I would be ready for school when we left. Checking the clock, I sighed. It was only 6:30. School started at 9 and we had to be there at 8:30.
Straining my ears, I heard movement downstairs. I made my bed and went to see who it was. It was mom. "My, you're up early!" she exclaimed, "Is your arm okay?" "Yeah." I replied, "It didn't bleed through." "Good." she replied. Mom was cooking a big breakfast. Pancakes, bacon, sausage, eggs, oatmeal. I made a vow never to eat oatmeal again.
"I should probably change the bandage and clean it." mom told me. The first aid kit appeared along with a warm wet towel. She undid the bandage and cleaned the cut. This time it didn't hurt as much. Finally she put another bandage on. It was looser and thinner than the others.
"Do you need any help?" I asked. "Yes." Mom replied, "Could you set the table for all five of us?" I proceded to do my classic job.
Kagome came downstairs in her pajamas a little after seven. "Good morning! Mom, Kyo." she said cheerfully, "That smells good." "Thank you." Mom replied, "I'm about to serve. Could you put the bacon and oatmeal on the table, Kagome? Kyo, could you get the eggs and sausage?" We put them on the table just as Souta walked in.
"Good." he said, "I missed morning chores." "You can clean it all up." mom told him. He moaned. Kagome and Souta lined up in front of mom. I did too, third in line. She handed us each a plate with pancakes on it. When it was my turn mom handed me a plate with two pancakes on it. "Wow." I thought as I sat down, "Mom remembered how many pancakes I liked!"
Half way through breakfast, grandpa came in. "Good morning!" he said taking a bit of everything mom had made, "This looks like a great breakfast!" "Thanks." mom replied, "Kyo, do you have your ring?" "Around my neck." I replied, "I'll put it on as soon as I'm finished with breakfast." "Good." she replied, "You'll have a good day today."
Inuyasha: What the hell is wrong with her blood?! That so call 'wound' was a minor scratch that should have healed in less than five minutes!
Clear Water: I know. But I'm not telling you.
Kagome: I think I have an idea.
Sango: Me too.
Clear Waters: Don't tell Inuyasha.
Kagome: Don't worry. We won't.
Clear Waters: Thank you.
Inuyasha: Tell me, damn it!
Kagome: No.
Inuyasha: Tell!
Kagome: No.
Inuyasha: Tell!
Kagome: No.
Inuyasha: Tell!
Kagome: No.
Inuyasha: Tell!
Kagome: SIT!
Miroku: He was just asking for that one.
Clear Waters: Agreed. R&R everyone!
