Chapter 5

Souta And My Final Years In Florida.

Two Years Later

I had just come home from school. I was second grade. I walked into the house. Grandpa greeted me. In the two years that I had stayed here he had been getting steadily better each day. Now he could walk. I had thought that maybe when he was better we could leave, but my mom said no. She said that she liked it here and that I was doing fine and all that stuff. And so I am still stuck here. Though the image of Inuyasha has never left my mind. I wonder how he's doing. Grandpa broke my thoughts.

"So Kagome, how was your day at school?"

"It was fine, like all the others. " I went to my room to think. My mom had decided to marry again. She was married about a year ago to a man she new from high school. His name was Tony Amerson.(totally made up) When they married, they decided to keep the name Higurashi because I was used to the name. It took man leagal matters but in the end they won. It had taken me a while to get used to him but I did. I really love him, like he was my real father. And I can tell he loves me too. In stead of calling him my Tony, or stepdad, I call him Dad. Mom and Tony liked the idea so they agreed I should call him that as well. Than I started to think back to about nine months ago when Mom and Dad told me the news...

Flashback

It was the last day of first grade. Which was in May. I was seven going on eight in November. Mom had picked me up. My day was the same as it had been since kindergarden. Boys telling me I'm beautiful and sweet. Teachers asking me if I want to go to a higher grade or if I want harder work. Same old same old. But today my mom seemed exceptionally happy today. She asked me how school was and all the other stuff. When we got home, I went into my room and put my bookbag away. While I was In there Katherine came in. She looked as happy as my mom did. I was confused.

"Um Katherine. Why are you and Mom so happy?"

"I think I'll let your mom and dad tell you why. Come on, lets see if they are ready to tell you.." So me and Katherine went into the living room where Mom, Dad, and Grandpa were waiting. Mom was sitting next to dad. Grandpa looked like he knew what everyone else but me knew as well.

"Okay, Mom, Dad, what is going on?" I asked a bit frustrated that I didn't know what everybody else knew. Dad took Mom's hand in his and they both smiled and looked at me.

"Well, Sweetie, this may come as a shock but"I knew whatever it was it couldn't have been to good. Because whenever something is a shock or something like it is never good. Like when I had to move here a year ago. My mom started to continue again with what she was saying. "i'm going to have a baby." She and Dad still smiled. I stood there shocked. Everyone was happy and here I was shocked. Surprises just keep coming at me and none of them have been that good. I was still shocked. My mom looked worried a bit, but not much.

"Well, Sweetie, isn't it great?" Dad asked me.

"Yeah, great. " I said with a dull voice. I then went into my room and sat on my bed. Still shocked. Why did she have to have another baby? Wasn't I good enough? Okay, I need to think this through. Maybe she's having a baby because she thought I was lonely? Well, were going to be seven years apart. Oh well. I will just have to get over it. I walked over to my radio. All of our stuff was here and we were unpacked I played my favorite song.

In the car, I just cant wait...
To pick you up on our very first date
Is it cool if I hold your hand?
Is it wrong if I think it's lame to dance?
Do you like my stupid hair?
Would you guess I didnt know what to wear?
I'm just scared of what you'll think.
You make me nervous so I really can't eat

Lets go... don't wait... this nights almost over
Honest... lets make... this night last forever
Forever and ever... lets make this last forever
Forever and ever... lets make this last forever

When you smile, I melt inside
I'm not worthy for a minute of your time
I really wish it was only me and you
I'm jealous of everybody in the room
Please dont look at me with those eyes
Please dont hint that your capable of lies
I dread the thought of our very first kiss
A target that I'm probably gonna miss

Lets go... don't wait... this nights almost over
Honest... lets make... this night last forever
Forever and ever... lets make this last forever
Forever and ever... lets make this last forever

Lets go... don't wait... this nights almost over
Honest... lets make... this night last forever
Forever and ever... lets make this last forever
Forever and ever... lets make this last forever

Forever and ever... lets make this last forever
Forever and ever... lets make this last forever

After the song Mom came in.

"Kagome, are you okay?"

"Yeah, I was just in the state of shock and now that I think about it I'm fine with it. In fact, i'm excited." I than went over to my mom and hugged her.

End Of Flashback

So I sat there still remembering the day. Today was August, the month that the baby was suposed to be born in. School had started a week ago. That's when I noticed something. I didn't see Mom or Dad anywhere. I walked our of my room and knocked on Katherine's door. She answered it. She saw me and smiled.

"I've been waiting for you to come home. " She said with a really big smile.

"Why? Where's Mom and Dad?" I asked a bit concerned and confused.

"Thats' why I've been waiting for you to come home. Your mom and dad are in the hospital. Your mom is having the baby today and it was during the time you were in school. So I told them I would wait for you to come home and then I would drive you over there. So let's go." Grandpa than came in the room and asked if he could get a ride there as well. Of course Katherine and I agreed. So all three of us got into Katherine's car and drove to the hospital. Katherine went to the front desk and asked for my mom's room number.

"Room 306" Katherine thanked the woman and we went into room 306. And sure enough, my mom and dad were there. Mom, was hold the baby. It looked like he was born about an hour ago. I walked to the bed and I smiled. So did my mom and dad. I looked at the baby. It wasn't sleeping. It had brown eyes.

"Kagome, this is your baby brother, Souta." My mother said. I looked at Souta and kept smiling.

"Kagome, would you like to hold him?" My mother asked.

"Uh, sure." I sat on a chair next to Dad and he took Souta from Mom and put him in my arms. He was light. Souta looked at me and smiled. I smiled because Souta smiled at me. Mom and Dad smiled. I handed the baby to Katherine. After she had her share of Souta, she handed him to Grandpa. Grandpa was just as happy as all of us, if not more. Then Souta was back in Mom's arms. I went over to Mom and carefully hugged her and told her that I loved her and that she did good. I was told later that Souta's room was going to be across from me.

Seven Years Later

I was fourteen. School had started about a month ago. I was in the car with mom and Souta, who was eight. Mom was dropping us off at school. I started to poke Souta, who was in the front seat.

"Kagome, stop poking me!" Souta said a little agitated. Seeings how I poke him everytime we were in the car.

"But, Souta, I'm bored and you are fun to poke." I said like I did every time.

"Mom, Kagome's poking me!"

"Kagome, stop iritating your brother" Mom said in a nice way, which she knew scared me. I simply just said "fine." She dropped Souta off at school and drove to mine. I was wearing black baggy pants with a green shirt that said "Who Are You?" After a couple of minutes we were at my school. Hojo greeted me when my mom drove away.

"Hi, Kagome."

"Oh, hi Hojo. Waz up?"

"Nothing really, you?"

"The same."

"Um, Kagome, can I ask you something?"

"Sure?"

"Well, how long have we been friends?"

"Um, since kindergarden. So like nine years. "

"Well, um, will you go out with me?" I was a little shocked. But I knew that I had to decline. Not that I wanted to go out with him anyways. I still remembered Inuyasha and the promise I made to him that I wouldn't go out with anyone unless one of us was dead. Inuyasha never left my mind during the years.

"Oh sorry, Hojo, I can't"

"Oh, um why?"

"Because I made a promise to someone when I was five that I wouldn't date anyone unless one of us were found dead because one day I was going to go back and when I was old enough, and go out with him."

"Kagome, you were five and he was probably around that age as well. You guys didn't know any better. He probably forgot, where ever he is."

"I refuse to believe he forgot! He may be in Japan while I'm in Florida, but I know he didn't forget about me! "

"Kagome, forget about him. You've got me instead."

"Hojo, I made a promise and I'm not going to break it. If you are the friend that I think you are you'll understand" and with that I went inside the school. Every day had been like that with Hojo and other boys who wanted to go out with me. It's funny how when I was a kid no one even wanted to be my friend. Now people wanted to be more than my friend. But some just want to for the sex. I declined all of them. And before I knew it, it was November. My birthday was the next day. My birthday was on a Saturday. So Friday afternoon I came home and went into my bathroom to take a shower before dinner. It was 6:47 when I got out. Dinner was at seven. Souta came into my room.

"Hey Sis, you wanna play on the Xbox with me?"

"Play what?" I asked. I loved video games and I was pretty good at them.

"Halo" (Kick ass game!)

"Sure, but be prepared to get your butt kicked!" We went into his room and played. We played first to fify. I won by thiry.

"Told ya I would kick your butt" I said. "Victory is mine!"

"Yeah Yeah enjoy it while you can" He said. Katherine came in and told us that dinner was ready. Souta and I went downstairs for dinner. After dinner I took another shower and went to bed. In the morning I was awoked by movement and other kinds of noise downstairs. I looked at my clock. 8:07. Damn, why is everyone up so early. I went downstairs to where the noise was. It was in the dinning room. On the way there I saw Grandpa.

"Good morning, Kagome"

"'Morning, Grandpa, what's with all the noise?"

"Don't know, but I want to show you something." He led me into the dinning room. Which was dark, and he disappeared into the darkness. Than the lights switched on and Mom, Dad, Souta, Katherine, and Granpa all shouted "SURPRISE and HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAGOME!!!" I stood there shocked and than remembered it was my birthday.

"Thank you everyone!" I said filled with joy. So we did the whole traditional birthday thing with cake and presents. When I was done opening what I thought was all my gifts. Katherine than pulled out and envolope from behind her back. She gave it to me with a huge smile.

"What's this?" I asked her.

"Just open it." I opened it and pulled out a piece of paper, it was a plane ticket to Japan! It was a pre-booked ticked for the end of May, which was the end of school. I jumped up and hugged Katherine really tight.

"Thank you so much Katherine. How did you know?" I was so happy I had tears in my eyes. I let go of her when she said she couldn't breathe. I giggled and wiped away my tears.

"I remembered when you were five you told me that when you were old enough you were going to go back to see Inuyasha and that you were going to live there. But you aren't old enough to live on your own so I'm going with you. I 've already discused it with your mom and dad. I hugged everyone including Souta and thanked them all. I couldn't believe that my dreams were coming true. Inuyasha's image came into my head. Inuyasha, I'll finally get to see you again.

"Who's Inuyasha? Is he your Boyfriend? " Souta teased. But I was too happy to argue so I said something very simple.

"No, but Souta, I happen to know that you have a girlfriend. Oh what was her name again. Oh yeah it was Jennifer. " I laughed and Souta blushed. He had to argue with Dad that I was lying when Dad was teasing him about it. I was so happy that I felt that it was all a dream. After a while we all cleaned up. On Monday I went back to school and told all my friends about it. Hojo was very diappointed.

"But, Kagome, why?"

"Because, I want to see Inuyasha again." And with that I left him. The months passed by quickly than the day came that I was to leave. I had all my stuff packed and we all piled into Mom's car. Which was a van. When we arrived at the airport, we had to say good-bye. My and Katherine hugged and kissed everyone, yes even Souta. Mom and Dad told us to be good and call when we get there and every weekend. And with all the farewells said, we boarded our plane. This was my second time being on a plane and I could actually enjoy it because I wasn't leaving my best friend I was going back to him. Even though I was going back to my friend, I couldn't help but feel nervous. I mean what if he didn't remember me? What if he didn't care that I was back? No, I couldn't think that. No, not Inuyasha, not my one and only friend. No, he would remember me and he would care that I was back. Katherine must have seen the nervous look on my face.

"Kagome, you seem nervous and tense, didn't you want to go back?" I looked at her and smiled.

"Of course I do! It's just that I'm not sure he'll care or even remember me." I stopped smiling and looked concerned.

"Oh Kagome, I'm sure he'll remember you and I definately believe that he will care that you came back." My spirits brightened at the confidence Katherine had. I smiled again.

"Thanks Katherine. I'm sure he'll remember as well." Katherine smiled. We both than looked out the window and the plane took off.

And so I stop the chapter. Sorry this chapter is short but I promise to make the next longer. Oh kay now review or I will sick my armies of cat demons on you!

Sayannora!
