We Can't Be Friends
Chapter Seven: I Can't Forget
( AN: Kagome, Sango, and Mrs. Higuarashi are sitting at Midori Bara, eating dinner. It's pretty much silent. It's crowded, and Inuyasha happens to be there with a client, Amiki. Inuyasha doesn't see Kagome, she doesn't see him. )
"So, Kagome, Sango tell me that you're engaged, again."
"Yes, ma'am, I am." She answered politely, putting a forkful of pasta in her mouth. Her mother gave her a disapproving look, and then turned her attention to her salmon. The silence was thick at the table, everyone sitting stiff. Mrs. Higuarashi started to hum, and soon Sango joined in. They smiled at each other, staring at Kagome expectantly. She ignored them both, continuing to eat her pasta. Mrs. Higuarashi frowned, and stopped humming. She propped her hands under her chin, giving Kagome a chilling look.
"Is this about me remarrying?" she asked icily. Kagome frowned, but quickly put a drippy sweet smile on. She shook her head no, smiling as if daring her mom to imply otherwise. Sango quickly excused herself, hurrying to the bathroom. Kagome's mom dropped the act, staring Kagome straight in the face.
"This is about that 'thing' isn't it?" she asked curiously. Kagome nodded her head, tears forming in her eyes. She hastily whipped them away, attacking her pasta once more. Kagome's mom took on a sorrowful tint, and she returned to her salmon. Sango's head poked from a corner, and she quickly slipped past them, and out of the restaurant. Kagome eyed her mother evilly, before ordering dessert.
"Kagome, that was the past. Have you not heard of forgiving and forgetting? I forgave and forgot about your faults. I did what was best for my baby girl at the time. Now I see that I wasn't right, and I changed your whole life forever. But It was a mistake a mother made because she was so desperate to keep her daughters innocence. " She gave Kagome a look, begging her to understand. Kagome just gave her a frosty glance, accepting the mud-slide brownie, fudge sundae from the waitress. She attacked the brownie eagerly, ignoring her mother. The silence was heavy, and for a few minutes Mrs. Higuarashi muttered on and on about something. Kagome's patience was wearing thin, she quickly finished the meal. Mrs. Higuarashi didn't stop staring at her daughter, hoping she'd break the silence. She went on about how it was for the best, and she might thank her one day. Kagome, finally tipping over the edge, jumped up, leaving the restaurant quickly. Her mother screamed after her. The people in the restaurant stared at them, the whole place becoming silent.
Kagome made her to her car, unlocking it and jumping in. Her mother opened the passenger door, jumping in himself. Kagome sighed, gripping the wheel.
"Mother, the fact remains you stole something I can't get back. You killed someone I never got to know, and then stole any chance I had to replace him. And you did it all behind my back! You did it all without my consent, and I couldn't stop you!"
"Kagome I didn't want you to get pregnant!"
"I was! You killed my baby! How dare you force an abortion on me, and then tie my tube! It couldn't' be legal to drug your daughter and push her under a knife to be cut up! I can't have children! My dream, my one true goal was to fill a house with beautiful children! You stole that from me! You stole it! I can't ever forgive you for that! I won't, can't forget! "
"Kagome, dear heart!"
"Get out of my car! Get out!" she yelled. Her mother gave her an increduas look, getting ready to get out of the car. She turned around, her hand on the doorknob.
"Kagome, you were seventeen years old, you wanted to go to collage and master in journalism. You can't take care of a baby in collage, Kagome. I'm sorry if I ruined your chance for happiness, but I did the only thing a mother could do in panic...."
"You didn't do the only thing, mother, if you deserve that title. You could've left me alone, left me and my baby to whatever our punishment. The father was in love with me, and I would not have been alone."
"You didn't tell me anything about a father, Kagome! I didn't know you were sexually active! I didn't know you even loved somebody!"
"You never asked or cared!"
"I did care! That is why I did what I did, because I cared too much for you, for you to have to live life with a fatherless baby! Kagome I didn't know you were engaged to the father, I didn't know if you knew him. You were only seventeen, seventeen Kagome. It wasn't even legal until your birthday."
"I don't care about your excuses, I'm not seventeen anymore, and I'm going to be married soon. What will happen when he finds out I'm not able to conceive? He wants a heir, and I want a baby! Neither of us will have our with granted thanks to you. You know what, I can forgive you, I do forgive you, but I won't forget. Please get out of my car, I have to see my fiancé."
"Fine Kagome. The wind blows all my words away from your heart. What happened to my sweet baby girl?" she asked, making a final attempt to win Kagome over.
"She fell in love," she whispered, avoiding her mother's helpless glances. With a loud sigh, Mrs. Higuarashi left the car, heading to her own.
