Short again, but just be patient.
Chapter 3
Everyone was sitting on the couch, Kagome and Souta facing their parents, waiting for their questions to be answered. Souta was the first to speak.
" So why did you guys want us to sit down? What's going on?" Souta asked his mom, not really ready to talk to Toshio, or Anthony.
" Well, sweetie, your father has something very important to tell you. It has to do with your future, and only you get to decide what to do, okay? So I don't want you to feel pressured or rushed into anything. So think things through and-"
" Mom! What is it you want to tell us?" Kagome shot out. She looked straight at her, and then at her grandpa, who had not said anything since she had arrived. His face hung and he seemed deep in thought.
" Kagome, what we are trying to tell you is that I have a very important announcement to make. You see, when I arrived yesterday morning-"
" You were here since yesterday?" Kagome interrupted. Had mom told him about my trips to the Feudal Era?' Kagome thought to herself.
" Yes, and your mom told me that you were at a friends house, so I talked to your mother about the reason about my sudden visit. I came here, because my life in America has been going very well. I have a good and steady job, a good home, and have a very good life, but I had never stopped thinking about you guys, so I had come up with a decision. I thought everything through and have got everything straightened out for you-"
" What are you talking about?" Kagome interrupted for the second time. She didn't like it when they had her guessing for nothing.
" Umm, well, I would like it for Souta and you to go with me to America for a couple of years. Just to see if you would like it. And if not then of course you would come back." Everything came out so rushed, that Kagome thought she had imagined everything. All she could do was lower her head and blink countless times. Souta had his mouth hanging wide open and wouldn't even notice if ten flies flew in and out.
" Honey, are you all right?' ( Why do parents always say things like that)
" A-am I all right?! Of course not! How would you like me to feel, after I've just been told, that I was going to America for a couple of years to go live with a father that I barely even know, and don't want to get to know, cause he didn't even bother to get to know his own kids?! And don't give me that look mom, cause you know that's the truth! You never bothered to call, or send letters, or even meet us when we needed you the most! You didn't even want to see Souta! When he asked for you, my mom cried with so much pain, because she couldn't stop her son's ache for a father! So don't tell me that you want to get to know us know!" With that finally said, she stormed out, with a still gaping Souta hanging on to Kagome's arm.
" Kagome! Are you crying?" Kagome just dumped him on the ground, and then left to get her bag.
" I'm going to the Feudal Era. Don't tell mom anything, until I get back. Got it?" Souta just watched as his sister disappeared down the stairs.
