"Where are you taking us?" Inuyasha demanded.
"I want my mom to meet my family. Unfortunately, I think Miroku and Sango
are busy.... So you guys can meet them!" Kagome said cheerfully.
"So I get to meet your mommy?" Shippou asked, at Kagome's nod he burst out,
"Cool!"
Kagome smiled tenderly at the kit's enthusiasm. Inuyasha slipped his hand inside hers, and gave it a reassuring squeeze. He could sense her emotions, the anxiety that her family wouldn't accept them, or for that matter, her.
She was a hanyou now, and that would change things. They would see if it
was for the better or not.
They came up to the well, and Kagome looked at them, "Please don't scare my brother or grandpa. I think they need time to adjust to the idea of demons
in the family." They nodded.
Inuyasha pouted, "You act like you don't trust us." he sniffed, "Mate, I'm
hurt."
Kagome saw right through the facade. "Oh come on. It's now or never."
So saying, they jumped into the well. Blue lights engulfed them as they
crossed to barrier between times from the feudal era to the present.
Slowly, the blue light faded, and they were looking up to a wooden roof
instead of the clear blue sky they saw only moments before.
Climbing out of the well, Kagome took a deep breath, and gave Shippou a hug
from where he sat in her arms. "Ready?"
"Yeah!"
She walked out of the well house, leading Inuyasha to the back door. "Mom?
I'm back!" she called looking around.
"Kagome? I'll be right down honey, I'm just folding Souta's clothes." her
mother's voice said from up the stairs.
"Kay mom."
Inuyasha was looking at the kitchen. As many times as he'd been here
before, he was astounded by the technology. For Shippou, however, it was
his first visit. His eyes were huge as he tried to take everything in at
once.
"Sorry about that dear, I was just finishing up some laundry duty. Ah, I
see you've brought friends. Hello again Inuyasha, and who is this darling little boy. Oh, I just love that tail!" she exclaimed, taking Shippou from
Kagome and holding him tight.
"Umm, excuse me... I kinda am having trouble breathing. Could you let go?"
Shippou gasped.
Kagome's mom (whom I'm now going to call Midori just to save space)
blushed. "Sorry about that, but you were just so cute."
"Mom, I have something really importent to tell you. Shippou, why don't you
go into the living room, I'll turn on the T.V. for you. Do not attack it,
just sit and watch, okay?" Kagome said, getting up to turn it on.
"But 'Kaa-san, I wanna stay with you!" Shippou whined.
"Please Shippou, just do it, I'll play with you later and give you some more candy." Kagome said. Shippou agreed enthusiastically and bounded into
the living room.
"Kagome dear, did that child just call you 'mom'?" Midori asked warily.
"Uh, heheh, yeah mom, that's the fox kit I told you about. I've been taking care of him and he's begun to think of me as his mother. So I adopted him.
But that's not the big news." Kagome said nervously. "You might wanna sit
down for this..."
Midori sighed, and pulled out a chair from the kitchen table, she put a
hand to her head, "Kagome, please tell me your not pregnant." she said
flatly.
"No...not quite..."
"I'm a hanyou now, Mom." Kagome said suddenly.
"And this happened how?"
So Kagome told her a story of how she was injured and basically everything
except her attempted suicide. Her mother stared. Then turned on Inuyasha.
"Kagome got injured?! I thought you were supposed to protect her!? How did
she manage to get hurt? Why weren't you paying closer attention to my
baby?!" she yelled with the firece protectiveness of a mother.
"Mom." Kagome said quietly.
Her mother ignored her, staying instead on her yelling rant to Inuyasha who
stood there staring at her.
"Mom." Kagome said a little louder. Still nothing. "MOM!!" she yelled.
Her mother stopped, "Yes?"
"It's not Inuyasha's fault, it's mine." she confessed.
"What?"
So Kagome told the real story, and her mom promptly apologized to Inuyasha
and scolded Kagome, "Don't you ever, EVER do anything like that again! Do
you hear me?!?!"
"I won't, because now I have a mate." Kagome said, a small smile hesitantly
on her face.
"Okay, I see your reasoning for me to sit down now..." Her mother said,
returning to her seat.
"Mom, Inuyasha and I found out our feelings for each other. If we hadn't, I
wouldn't even be alive. I love him mommy, please don't be mad at me."
Kagome pleaded.
"Mating is the demon equivalent of marrige, correct?" at Kagome's nod she
continued. "So you two...*ahem* uhhh...yeah...?" Kagome nodded again, a
slight blush grazing her cheek.
"Oh, I'm so happy for you! Now we have to plan a wedding and a wedding shower and since you two are married, Kagome, you should stay off the pill
so we can eventually plan a baby shower..." Midori went on and on, going
into full-out grandma mode.
Kagome's head spun. "Glad to see you're on my side about the issue of
children mom." Kagome said sarcastically.
"Well of COURSE you two are going to have children! That's the blessing of
matrimony!" Her mother exclaimed. Inuyasha smiled smugly.
"I don't wanna hear anything about it from you." she ordered Inuyasha. They
left her mother in the kitchen, mumbling to herself about dresses.
"Seems your worry was all for naught." Inuyasha murmured in her ear. Kagome
smiled, "I guess you're right. Let's go get Shippou, we need to get you guys some clothes for here. I'll give Shippou some of my brother's clothes,
and you can have some of my father's. We need to go shopping!"
Inuyasha's expression was blank as Kagome left in a trail of dust, grabbing
Shippou and dragging him up the stairs to get dressed. What was this
'shopping' that had her so excited? He wondered. Shaking his head, he
climbed the stairs after her.
