You Can't Change the Past
-Chapter 2-
The Truth Comes Out of the Bag
Kagome came home from a couple of interviews of trying to get a job. But she was very tired. When she came home, Sango told her goodnight and she went home.
Shippo was still awake and Kagome thought he would be sleeping at 9 PM.
"Ready to play, mom?" Asked Shippo.
Kagome went to her knee and looked at Shippo. "Sorry Shippo! But I'm tired right now! Don't worry. I'll buy you ice cream tomorrow after I get home from school!" Said Kagome.
"O...kay!" Said Shippo. He was disappointed once again.
"Come on! I'll tuck you in!" They both went to his room and Shippo jumped in his bed. Kagome put the blanket over his body and kissed him goodnight on the forehead and wished him good dreams in his sleep.
She turned off his lights and went to her room to sleep. But she couldn't. She couldn't get a job today. She needed one if she needed a place to stay. It was a sad and horrible life she lived in.
The next morning, Kagome took a shower and got dressed for her classes in more then 1 hour. She heard a knock on the door and open it. It was Sango her baby-sitter! She was happy to see her again...
"Hi Sango!" Said Kagome.
"Hi Kagome! How was Shippo last night?" Asked Sango.
"He was tired and disappointed. I couldn't play with him."
"Well, you're class doesn't start more then 1 hour. So go take him to the park and have some fun with him."
"Yeah! That's a good idea! And then after school, I would go and give him some ice cream I promised."
"What are you waiting for!? Get Shippo up! I'll drive you guys to the park and pick you up later. I have to run an errand once I drop you guys off."
"All right! I'll be right back!" She went to Shippo's room and went to the side of his bed. She put her hand on his shoulder and shook him a little. "Shippo! Wake up! Me and Sango are going to take you to the park and play!"
Shippo woke up and rubbed his eyes with his little hands. He saw his mother looking at him and smiled.
"Did you hear me?" Asked Kagome.
"Yeah! I heard you mom! Let's go!" Answered Shippo.
"First you need to get dressed! And put your jacket on! It's a little chilly outside!"
Kagome walked out of Shippo's room and saw Sango with her arms crossed and was smiling at her. Why was she smiling at her?
"What?" Questioned Kagome.
"Nothing! It's just I'm glad to see Shippo happy to spend some time with his mother. He truly misses you, Kagome," answered Sango. "You really do need to spend time with him."
"I know! But I'm really busy and-"
"I know! You don't have to tell me!"
"Mom! I'm ready!!" Said Shippo. He had his little blue jacket on with his light blue bow he had in his hair. He was very happy. He really loved his mom.
"Great! Let's go!" Said Kagome. The three of them walked out of the apartment room. Kagome locked and gave the extra key to Sango just in case they're going to come back there.
Inuyasha was walking in the park alone just thinking in space. It's what he does in the morning when he's pissed at something from the day before. He was pissed at his class yesterday on how they weren't listening. Especially Kagome Higurashi.
He saw the autmn leaves dropping on the ground. He kind of liked those colors on the leaves. He liked the peaceful wind blowing in his hair. He didn't have much time so he continue walking but he caught someone in his eye. It was the girl from yesterdays class that wasn't listening.
"What is Higurashi doing here in the morning?" Asked Inuyasha. He hid himself behind a tree and continue looking. Piles of leaves were everywhere around her. It seemed like she was looking for something. So he listened on what she was saying.
"Come on Shippo! I give up! Where are you hiding?" Asked Kagome.
Inuyasha saw some kind of kid jumped out of the pile of leaves behind her and grabbed her legs. She turned around and was acting surprised. She went to her knees and pat his head.
"See!? I knew you couldn't find me! I told you so!" Said Shippo.
"I know! You win!" Said Kagome. "I have to go to school right now! When I come home, I'll take you out for ice cream for your victory! How's that?"
"Okay! Sounds GREAT!!"
Inuyasha saw another woman walking towards them. She had brown hair and a little make up. He was very confused about what's going on around this area.
"I'll drop you off to school." Said the woman.
"Thanks Sango!" Said Kagome. "Come on Shippo! I'll race you to the care!"
"Hey! No fair! Mom! You got a head start!" Said Shippo.
Inuyasha was shocked on what he heard. Did that kid just called her mom? He waited until they were no where in sight so he can go out in the open. He walked to the spot where Kagome found that kid. Actually to the spot where the kid found Kagome.
"Maybe that's why she didn't flinch at the assignment I gave out yesterday? Yeah, that must be it. She's a parent! But who's the father of that kid?" Inuyasha began to question himself. But the thing is, why should he question himself when he's suppose to be heading off to his class? Plus, it's like its not his kid!
The Shikon no Tama College has started their classes. Kagome was just sitting in her chair thinking on where she can get a job. Too much stuff was going on in her mind, she didn't even hear her Professor speaking.
"All right! Who did the assignment I assigned yesterday?" Asked Inuyasha. Kagome heard ONLY that and she raised her hand. But the rest of the class didn't do it! What are they, STUPID!? "Okay! Since almost ALL of you didn't do it, you're going to have to do a report on how it felt to be a single parent! I don't care if you did it or not, you still have to do it because MOST OF YOU DIDN'T DO IT!!!"
Kagome wasn't listening. Too much stuff in her mind!
Inuyasha noticed Kagome wasn't listening to him. So he walked in front of her desk. She didn't notice him yet. He asked a student to borrow a hard cover heavey book. The student gave a book to him. When Inuyasha had it, he slammed it hard on her desk. She flinched when he did that.
"Is there something you would like to discuss to the class, Higurashi!?" Asked Inuyasha.
"No sir!" Answered Kagome.
"I told you before to call me Professor or Professor Inuyasha! How come you still haven't got that yet!?"
"I'm sorry sir!"
"ARRRRGH! That's it! DETENTION!!"
Kagome stood up angrily with her hands slamming her desk. "Why!?"
"Because you were day dreaming ever since class started!"
"I was not day dreaming! I was thinking on something very important to me!"
"And what will that be!?"
"That's none of your business!"
"DOUBLE DETENTION!!"
"What's the reason for giving me another detention!?"
"Because you were talking back to your Professor! Now take your seat!" Kagome didn't take her seat. "Do you want a TRIPLE DETENTION!?"
Kagome showed anger in her eyes and took her seat. Everybody in the class was giggling at her.
"Do all of you want to get detention as well!? I have room for the WHOLE CLASS!!"
Everybody stopped what they were doing. He walked away from Kagome's desk and took out a couple of papers from his desk drawer.
"Pop quiz day! It's another review from the high school. If you don't pass, you have to take it again! Understand!?" Everybody nodded at him. "Good! You may use a pen or pencil." He passed out the quiz papers to everybody in the class.
Everybody got their No. 2 pencils and started on their quiz. Kagome got her No. 2 pencil and started to answer a couple of questions. But she had trouble on a few of them because it was very difficult for her. So she just guessed on most of them.
When everybody was done, Inuyasha collected the papers and put them on his desk. He told them to read a book while he grades the quiz.
The bell rang and everybody got out of their seats and walked out the door. Kagome thought Inuyasha would forgot about the attention thing. So Kagome was about to sneak out before Inuyasha caught her.
"Don't you have detention to serve?" Asked Inuyasha.
Kagome got back in her seat and set her things on her desk. She saw Inuyasha got out of his seat and walked over to Kagome's desk. He stood in front of it. And then he took the seat next to her. He was staring at her and she was just looking at her things on the desk.
"Who was that kid?" Asked Inuyasha.
Kagome looked at him. "What kid?" Questioned Kagome.
"Don't play dum with me! I saw you in the park with some kid! He called you 'mom' and that's what I heard from that little pip squeak! Who the hell is he!?"
"Don't say that kind of stuff about him! He's only 6 years old!"
"I don't care! Who is he!?"
"Why should I tell you!?"
"Because I'm your Professor! And if you don't tell me who he is, I will give you a triple detention!"
Kagome flinched at the tone of his voice. She turned her head so she can stare at her stuff again. While Inuyasha was waiting for her answer.
"I was only 18, near the end of high school my senior year. About 5 months back before the end of the school year. I first found out I was pregnant. My high school boyfriend, Kouga, thought it was his child because he has slept with me before. He didn't really had sex with me."
"Yeah, yeah! Whatever! Keep going!"
"When everybody found out I was pregnant because it was showing, they had to let me go. Even though some of the teachers didn't want me to go but they had no choice. So I had to dropout. When Kouga graduated, he asked me to marry him because he thinks it's his child. So I said yes."
"And?"
"When I went into labor and gave birth to my child, Kouga found someone else and left me. He left me with another woman name Kikyo. It broke my heart when I had to take care of my son all alone. When my mother found out about this, she kicked me out when I can actually take care of him. Now I'm living in a apartment so I can take care of him. In other words, I'm a single parent."
"Hold it! Back up there! Did you said that creep left you to go to Kikyo?"
"Yeah, why?"
"She was my high school girlfriend. She left me for someone else too. But here's my question, are you sure he's the father of your child? Because you said you thought it was his child."
"I don't know who's the father! I thought Kouga was, but it wasn't part of his DNA!"
"What?"
"Never mind."
"But if you're here, then who's watching the kid?"
"My best friend Sango. She was my best since the first year of high school. When my mother kicked me out, Sango helped take care of Shippo." She started to cry. Inuyasha saw the tears drop on her desk and didn't know what to do. He never knew and he gave her a hard time.
"What's wrong?"
"I need to get a job so I can pay rent for the apartment so me and Shippo can live! But I can't find one! If I don't find one I'm gonna lose a place to live in!!"
She took her stuff and was about to run out the door. But she bumped into someone and fell on her bottom. It was Miroku with a wierd smile. She got up and pushed Miroku aside so she can get away from all of this.
Miroku just walked in with a confused look on his face. "What did you do to that young lady?" Asked Miroku.
Inuyasha got out of the seat and turned to him. "I did nothing! She only told me something that gave her pain when she was 18!" Answered Inuyasha.
"What was it?"
Inuyasha started to walk out the door. "That she became a single parent at age 18 and was forced to dropout and her mother kicked her out. No wonder she didn't do so well on the quiz today."
Inuyasha left Miroku's sight. He didn't want to talk to anyone about this. But something about Kagome made him feel so guilty. He felt like he has met her before in high school. But he can't remember anything! ( I'll give you a dollar if you guess right!)
Kagome ran home to her apartment with tears rolling down her cheeks. When she got home, and closed the door behind her, she put her back against the door and slid down to sit down. She put her knees at her chest and hugged her legs so she can cry to herself.
"Kagome?" Sango didn't know what was wrong with her best friend. She went over to her and sat next to her. She rubbed her back to make her stop crying a little. "What's wrong? Why did you came home late? Shippo was really worried."
"My Professor, Inuyasha! He gave me detention and he questioned me on who was that kid at the park this morning. I told him everything! So I ran out of detention so I can come here and cry!" Said Kagome.
"It's alright! He had nothing to do with you getting pregnant in high school."
"Somehow, I think he had something to do with it!"
Shippo came out of his room and saw his dear mom crying. He walked over to her and waited for her to notice him. Sango noticed him and was waiting for Kagome. It was so silent, Shippo decided to break it.
"Mom, when is dad coming home?" Asked Shippo.
Kagome lift up her head and saw Shippo. She wiped her tears away and looked at Shippo. "I don't know." Kagome opened her arms to him. He knew what that meant. Shippo climbed on to her lap and slept on her chest. She hugged him tight. Putting her hand on his head, and her other hand on his back. "[That is...if I know who the father is...]"
Kagome continued to cry and Sango cried with her. Sango knew Kagome was heading to trouble. Kagome needs some help. But how is she going to get help when she lost all hope so many years ago?
Inuyasha was at his house laying on top of his covers of his bed. He felt so guilty somehow. He needed to get rid of the guilt somehow but he need to know why.
"Where is my high school yearbook!?" Asked Inuyasha.
He went to his closet and threw all sorts of stuff out. His dirty socks, an old soccer ball, his dirty underwear, more of his dirty underwear...Hah! Found it!! He turned to his senior year and looked at the pictures of all kinds of students.
There! There's Kagome's picture and their is Kouga's picture above her's.
"She looks a little familiar, but it doesn't ring a bell!" Said Inuyasha.
He threw his yearbook back in the closet and layed back on his bed. He fell asleep on his bed on top of the covers. Thinking on how him and Kagome were connected in high school.
