Ch3: Mothers always know

By the time inuyasha reached the other side kagome was already gone, not that inuyasha knew it… he stood out side the well house confused beyond all hell, kagomes scent was going in the opposite direction of her house…

::is she in trouble…:: he began to walk off in the direction her scent was when he heard a voice from behind him.

"Inuyasha….?"

Kagome's mother was outside taking out the trash, when she saw the young man standing by the well house, looking around. She wasn't sure who it was until the two dog ears on his head twitched.The Inuyasha spun around, and saw kagomes mother walking towards him, and he began to feel nervous again.

"Oh, uhm hello, is uh….kagome home? He asked in between pauses.

Oh, I'm sorry Inuyasha, she doesn't live here anymore.

Oh….he said disappointed as his ears laid back against his head.

Come in, though. She said sweetly as she threw the garbage away and walked with inuyasha into the house.

Please sit down. She took a seat in the other side of the table.

So, inuyasha what are you planning on doing?

Nani?

She sighed, How do you plan on making my daughter love you again?

I, well, uhm…..how did you know?

Mrs. H laughed lightly. "Inuyasha im a mother, I watchie the way the teo of you were together, they way kagome acted when she came back, I knew it weas caise the tewo of you had fought…mothers just know.

He blushed lightly…well, I uhm…was…..

You don't know do you?

He shook his head looking down at the ground sadly.

Oh, inuyasha its alright..ill help you, okay?

He looked up and nodded, still with a sad look on his face."thank you"

She sighed…okay, whats wrong?

He sighed…Well….inuyasha said starting from the beginging.

::Meanwhile….back to kagome::

Kagome was sitting in her apartment eating ramen. She frowned. and set the bowl to the side.

Everything made her think of inuyasha….she sighed giving into defeat…she walked away to her bathroom and took a hot shower, trying to push all the thoughs of inuyasha out of her mind… She sighed as the hot water hit her body, ::it doesn't matter im not going to see him again, so theres nothing to worry about….she said, looking at the ring on her finger, she smiled remembering when her fiancee proposed to her…..

She wrapped a red towel around her body and went into her room, she pulled out a pair of black laced underwear, and in the drawer bellow it she pulled out a long night shirt. She crawled into her bed, setting her alarm clock before going to bed and falling to sleep.

With inuyasha….

…and so I don't know if she'll want me back, I mean shes engaged now, so what chance do I have?

I see, Inuyasha, after kagome left she cried for two weeks, she was so depressed, she didn't eat for twp days, she spent all day in her room crying…. Inuyasha's eyes widened, it scared him to think his kagome would deprive herself of food, because of him, and it saddened him when he thought of kagome crying all alone, he hated to see her cry, it made him feel like he couldn't help her, and that was something he always did… "She cried because she loved you, and shes just trying to forget everything that had happened in the well. But if your back in her life, I know she'll realize who she wants to be with."

He nodded and Mrs. Higurashi, yawned…"Inuyasha, if you want you can stay here.

Are you sure?

Of course I'm sure…now what are we going to d about cloths….

She gave inuyasha some cloths kagome had bought him, one time while she was home from the feudal era.

Surprisingly they still fit him, they were a little small but they would go out and get more cloths tommorw.

"you can stay in Kagome's room, is that alright?

Inuyasha nodded. Thank you…

Mrs. Higurashi said good night and went off to her room, inuyasha stepped in, expecting to be surrounded by kagomes scent, sadly, her scent had long ago left, and was replaced with a empty scent of vanilla, faint traces of her scent were present here and there, but for the most case, it was just depressing to him, to not be surrounded by her scent…but he was used to this feeling of depression, he went through it for five years.

He looked around her room everything was still there, he walked in deeper to her room, and looked over to her desk he remembered the times he'd come to get her and find her slumped over the desk asleep, and how he'd tuck her in bed at night. He sighedand then noticed on the table was a silver picture frame, the picture on the inside was of everyone. Shippo sitting on top of kilala, Sango had an angery smile, while Miroku had a red mark across his face and a huge grin, as he held up his right hand and with his left arm he shrugged.as if to say "it's the hand!", then there was he was in the picture with a huge cocky grin on his face as he had tetsaiga resting on his shoulder, in a cocky pose that with just one look at the picture I youd have sworn inuyasha was saying "try me" kagome was in the middle of he and Miroku with a smile and shrugged shoulder.

Inuyasha smiled remembering how hard shed worked to get inuyasha to smile…

Flashback::

Inuyasha please smile, I want at least one picture with you in a good mood.

"Feh." The inu demon said with a grin.

Kagome smirked all of this had happened when hed finally mastered tetsaiga and he loved showing off his skills…"Inuyasha, you can tetsaiga out If you want."

That worked, he smiled and unsheathed his sword making a cocky pose to go with the picture.

She looked at him and smiled "perfect." She said giving his ego a twenty point boost.

::end flash back::

He knew he could be childish sometimes but that childish streak had change after he had to take care of shippo… That was something eh was hoping kagome would notice about him, was that he had matured in the past five years, he sighed again, and pulled the picture out of the frame it was then that he noticed another picture behind it…he picked it up and felt his heart beat faster…

It was a picture of he and kagome alone with there arms looped and backs against one another, there faces looked right at the camera and both had a grin on there face.

He smiled, I don't remember this picture….he sighed holdng onto both pictures as he laid against the pillow and the good memorys of the time he once shared with kagome flooded his mind…

"Kagome…"

See its short I know I'm sorry. The next one will be long though, I promise……now that he has kagomes mom giving him tips and helpful ideas, not to mention shes got the ability to suggest that stuff should happen and then it does…such as a certain girl taking out a certain half demon…..

Next chapter… Winning her heart…
