Chapter 2: The First Day Back
Princess Sango
Miroku was here, again. He had upset Sango, and so, he's stuck here. Lucky them, a lech for a week or so. Inuyasha and her were so used to him being here around the last month Sango was pregnant, it was normal for him. He would be sleeping in their old room, where they were living before they owned the house.
Souta seemed quiet and jumped whenever his cell phone ring. He still decided on keeping online courses for 12th grade. He's been doing that since near the end of 8th, so he has a lot of free time. He'll pick up Inuya and Inuyasha Jr. when Kagome or Inuyasha were busy. His girlfriend was someone Hideyo had set him up with this year. He hasn't given them any information just yet.
Kagome sighed again as she tried writing one of her songs. She had a lot on her mind for new songs, and it was easy to come out with a song.
She smiled as she sang it back to her. Inuyasha walked in, tired from work. "What are you doing?"
Kagome looked up, "Writing for my new cd, after every tour, I have to make at least ten to twelve songs."
Inuyasha came up to her and put his arms around her shoulders, "How many you have so far?"
"Ten."
"How long have you stared at a paper?"
"Fifteen minutes, Inuyasha, please don't worry. It's never going to take me long." She pushed the chair out and hugged and kissed Inuyasha.
Kagome pulled away and looked up at him. "Don't worry about my songs; I'm sure you'll enjoy them."
Inuyasha's face softened, "I know, but I'm worried about you. You haven't given up bashing your mother, Kagome. That isn't healthy, and I'm worried. Souta and everyone else were able to swipe it under the carpet, why not you?"
Kagome looked up at Inuyasha, while tracing circles on his chest with her fingers, "Inuyasha, she never liked you after I got pregnant. She'll never understand why I took you back. I don't want her to think that just because Kara, Inuya, and I.J-kun I'm going to tie myself down like she did. I want to live, and everyone but her understood that. Inuyasha she still thinks she got away, but I won't let her forget. Never."
Inuyasha pulled her tight to him, "I understand, Kagome. You always want revenge, and you're getting it by just living out your dream, right? What will it get you in the long run? A forever rep as the best singer, and a mother that will probably hate you till the day you die."
Kagome had tears flowing down her cheeks, "I know, but I'm prepared to live that way."
Inuyasha had sympathy in his eyes, "Kagome, look what happened to Kikyo, she still hates me, with every bone in her body, she hates me. I don't want that kind of hate directed on you."
Kagome looked down, "I know Inuyasha. You care about me, but I feel that the only way to get through to her was to sing it. I hate the mail, since I get a letter from her every other day."
Inuyasha kissed her deeply, "Just remember what you're getting yourself into. I don't want you to have a break down. Come on Kagome; let's see what's going on for lunch. Miroku was in charge for lunch."
Kagome rolled her eyes, "Perfect..." She sighed as she heard pots and pans clang from downstairs. She wiped the tears away and let Inuyasha drag her to the kitchen.
"What's for lunch Miroku?" asked Inuyasha.
"Oh, for lunch? Well, uh, I made subs. Is that okay?"
Kagome and Inuyasha nodded. "I swear Miroku; you're really getting on Sango's nerves. She's called and already says that this happened when I wasn't here. Miroku, why didn't you ask Inuyasha for advice, before you went and did something like that?" Kagome asked.
Her ears were flicking around in annoyance. Miroku noticed that and left the answer short, "He only has to deal with pregnancy for nine weeks. Mine is nine months, it just isn't fair."
Inuyasha rolled his eyes, his ears flicking in annoyance, "Either way you want to look at it Miroku, life is never fair. What part don't you understand about that?"
Kagome mumbled something and began to eat, splitting her sub with Inuyasha's. "I'm so happy that we're not that way, always fighting."
"Well you've never been a husband to Sango."
Inuyasha chuckled, "I guess so, but I'll never try."
Kagome laughed, "Yeah, right? Sango wouldn't like if we switched anyway."
Miroku smiled, "It's great to see you back here Kagome. It brings more light in here."
Kagome smiled as she took the last bite of her sandwich, "The meal was perfect." She excused herself as she walked out the door, into the fall air. "It's so beautiful right now. I'll go to the Feudal Era now..." She walked over to the well shrine and jumped in the well. When she got to the other side, the clean air filled her lungs.
"It's like being born all over again. Or at least coming out of water for a fresh breath of air," she laughed slightly as two people came to great her.
"Kagome-chan!"
"Shippo, Akane, you've grown so much!"
She looked them over, "You're so much taller, both of you."
Kagome hugged them both, "How have you been doing?"
"Fine, but Kaede-san died, she died while you were away."
Kagome nodded, "I'll go see her marker before I leave."
"How long are you staying Kagome?" Akane asked curiously.
"Only for a few hours, I wanted to see you so much! I needed to see you and Akane because you didn't come to the party. Why not?"
Shippo sighed, "Inuyasha doesn't come so much anymore. So he doesn't know where I'm living now."
"Oh, you moved again?"
Shippo nodded, "With Kouga around, also Sesshoumaru, we can't stay in one place."
"They're hunting you?"
"Kouga wants to know what's happened to you, and Sesshoumaru wants to find Inuyasha. Kikyo comes to us sometimes, but she never mentions Inuyasha."
Kagome nodded, "Shippo, I would like to see where you are living." Shippo nodded and she followed them to the knot hole. This will be one interesting trip...
