Chapter 5: Talking
Kagome walked into her home. She could smell dinner as it brewed. She took in the smell, but wasn't hungry at the moments. She had filled herself with fast food earlier.
"Kagome you're home just in time for dinner." Mrs. Higurashi mentioned as she walked over to her daughter.
"Um.. I'm not really hungry." Kagome said. Inuyasha stood behind her wondering if she was alright.
"Oh.. um.. okay.. Inuyasha?"
"I'll eat." Inuyasha walked past Kagome and Mrs. Higurashi to sit at the table with Gramps and Sota as they awaited their food.
"Kagome are you feeling alright?" Mrs. Higurashi asked in concern. Kagome nodded.
"I'm fine, just a little tired."
"It's still early though.."
"Just a nap." Kagome walked up the stairs without another word.
Mrs. Higurashi sighed. She could tell when Kagome was hiding something, than again she could be wrong. Maybe Kagome really was just tired.
Mrs. Higurashi went over to the plates she had set out. She placed Kagome's in the microwave just in case she would want it later. Then she picked up everyone else's plates one out of time and handed them to their rightful owners.
When Kagome's mother took her own plate she sat down at the end of the table and got a view of everyone. They seemed to be more quiet than usual. Inuyasha had already spent the last couple days eating with them, so that was nothing new. Although he usually only talked to Kagome.
Mrs. Higurashi sighed. She needed to talk to Kagome about what she had earlier when she had listened in on them. It sounded so much like they were making love. Mrs. Higurashi knew they were meant to be together, but was definitely unsure is they were ready for that kind of thing.
Kagome's mother stood. Everyone looked over to her and wondered what she was doing. She left her plate there and began to walk away to the stairs.
"Mom?" Sota wondered what she was doing.
"I'll be down in a little bit. I just need to talk to Kagome about some things." She continued her way up the steps. The others watched her until she disappeared from site.
"What do you think she's going to talk to Kagome about?" Sota asked Inuyasha and gramps. Sota and the old man looked to Inuyasha. Inuyasha looked back and forth between them.
"What?" He questioned. They looked away quickly and began eating their food.
Meanwhile
Mrs. Higurashi knocked on Kagome's door once and entered. Kagome looked up at her from the book she was looking through.
"I though you were going to take a nap." Kagome's mother said with a small grin.
"I.. was... I just wanted to study some before I did." She shut her book, but not before her mother got a small glimpse of the title.
"Hormones and woman?"
"It's.. for health." She said placing the book in her desk drawer.
"Health, eh?" Mrs. Higurashi smiled.
"Yeah."
"Is there something you want to talk about?"
"No." Kagome looked away from her mother.
"You sure?" She went over to the bed and sat down. She patted the mattress, gesturing Kagome to come sit with her.
"Yeah." Kagome lied. She got up and sat next to her mother. She felt a comforting hand on her shoulder.
"You know.. you can tell my anything."
"I know." Kagome looked at her lap.
"Okay.." He mother sighed. Kagome looked to her. "There is something we need to talk about though. You and Inuyasha. I was hearing strange sounds from earlier.." she trailed off not exactly knowing how to word such a case. "It sounded like you two were.. having s.." Mrs. Higurashi was cut off as Kagome covered her mothers mouth quickly. Kagome didn't want to hear the word. It had gone through her head enough this day.
"Mom!" Kagome had an angry expression on. "How could you think that? What do you take me for?"
"Kagome." She pried the hand from her mouth. "It's not that. This things happens to many girls.." Kagome was blushing and looked down.
"Me and Inuyasha aren't together in that way. We're friends." She informed. She hated the idea of her and Inuyasha only being friends, but for now it was all they were and she couldn't help it.
"I understand that Kagome." She looked at her daughter intently studying her expression. "I guess I was just jumping to conclusions..." She stood up. "If you really have nothing to say than I'll go." She began to walk away.
"Wait." Kagome looked away as her mother turned to her.
"Yes?"
"I have some questions.. for health.. I couldn't find the answers in the book."
"Sure, ask away."
"Um.. is it normal for teenage woman to want children of their own?" Kagome asked finally meeting her mothers eyes. Which were now filled with worry.
"Kagome, you're not.." She cut herself off. She went back and sat over near her daughter. "Actually, surprisingly it is common in some cases. For instance if the teenage spends some time with a child, or has a friend happy with one, or one on the way she may to yearn for that. Though, teenage woman aren't suited to have children of their own and sometimes it takes time to learn this." Kagome nodded.
"Oh."
"Kagome, are you trying to say lately you've been having feelings like you want your own children?"
"Ah. No!" Kagome blushed. "It was a health questions that's all."
"Well alright than." She stood up. "Dinner is in the microwave if you ever come down and eat it." She left with that. Kagome looked down. She wanted more of an answer. She would just have to ask the health teacher. 'But.. I am supposed to be here with Inuyasha for another week.. oh well he can deal with me away for one day. Mom will just teach him more.' Kagome fell back into the bed and rested her head comfortably on her pillow. She glanced to the side down at Inuyasha's air bed. She wondered exactly what time it was. Looking over to her window she realized it was still pretty light out.
Kagome closed her eyes. She was tired. It was nice to sleep in a real bed and have Inuyasha's protection at the same time. She rolled over onto her side and allowed sleep to overtake her body and mind.
Don't be angry please. I know this chapter was kind of short.
