Starting Out Fresh

Chapter 9: Meet the Parents

"Mom!" Kagome yelled looking around the room. 'Sesshy', Shippo, Kagome, ands Rin had all gotten through the well and were in present day Tokyo. Sesshomaru began to look pale. Oh no! All the scents around him are going to make him faint! Kagome thought. "All right guys, let's get inside the house and you can meet my family. She lead them all into the house. Grandpa was at the table drinking tea. He turned around and zoomed away to get his demon seals and spells. Soon he was back, huffing and puffing. "Demon, BE GONE!" he yelled. Sesshomaru looked at him boredly, and Shippo was just confused. "Now, you shall be gone!" Grandpa yelled. He smacked demon seals on their foreheads.

"Ow! What you do that for!" Shippo asked. Kagome was blushing madly.

"Grandpa, they're with me.Don't----"

"These demons cannot be trusted! Demon—"

"Grandpa! Stop bothering the guests!" A voice yelled. Kagome turned around.

"Mom! I'm soo happy to see you!" And you weren't happy to see me eh? Grandpa thought. Kagome and her mother embraced eachother. Kagome broke their embrace and her mom looked at the group in shock.

"YOU MARRIED A MAN AND HAD TWO CHILDREN WHILE YOU WERE GONE! HOW DARE YOU-"

"Mom, calm down! I am going to be married and this is my friend Shippo and this is Rin. Sesshomaru takes care of her."

"Hello---- Mom." Sesshomaru said confused. Kagome's mother smiled.

"YOU have a tail? Let me see it!" Kagome's mother said, while she began playing around with his tail. Sesshomaru looked like he was going to kill her, but Kagome looked at him as if to tell him not to. Sesshomaru walked to the refrigerator, becoming very curious about it.

"Kagome, what is this box that makes you cold when you open it? And what's this clear thing with red stuff inside?" Sesshomaru asked. Kagome walked up to him.

"The box is called a refrigerator, and the clear thing with red inside is ketchup." Kagome said, opening the cap. "You want to try it?" He shaked his head in digust.

"So, where is Inuyasha at?" Kagome's mother asked. They all fell silent.

"I left Inuyasha. We got into a fight and I decided not to be with him anymore." Kagome replied. "Where's Soto?" Kagome' mom pointed upstairs.

"He is sick today. Don't go near him, or you'll get the flu with him!" Kagome's mom warned them. Kagome lead her group upstairs.

"Kagome, Rin is curious about something. Rin wants to know what the flu is." Rin asked her.

"The flu is a cold. Humans get sick from colds. And sometimes, if the cold is really bad and no one can do anything about it, they can die." Kagome explained.

"Well, since I'm no human, I will go to you're brother's room." SEssholmaru declared.

"You could catch the flu from him you know that!" Kagome said to him.

"This Sesshomaru will not catch this cold you humans get."

"Whatever, you're on your own."

"Whatever what?"

"Never mind. Come on, lets go. Kagome lead Sesshomaru to Soto's room, but she kept Shippo and Rin from coming with him.

"Who are you! Kagome! Help me! Grandpa can't do anything do get him away. Get Inuyasha!"

"HEY!" Grandpa shouted from downstairs. Kagome ran into Soto's room.

"No, Soto! He's not going to kill you! He's with me! I brought him here with Shippo and Rin. Inuyasha and I had a fight, so I'm not traveling with him anymore." Kagome explained with a bit of anger. She left the room with Shippo and Rin.

"Now that I can hear again, my name is Sesshomaru." Sesshomaru said looking disgusted at Soto's health.

"Pleased to meet---- meet—ACHOO!" Soto said. He sneezed on Sesshomaru.
"Sorry about that." Soto sniffed. Kagome saw what happened and ran to Sesshomaru.

"Sesshomaru, let's get you cleaned up. Bye Soto!" She pulled Sesshomaru out of the room and into the bathroom so she could get him cleaned.

"She left me……….. she just brushed me off and told me to go back to Kikyo." Inuyasha whispered to himself. Sango walked toward him.

"You look upset Inuyasha. It's because of Kagome right?" Sango asked him. Inuyasha nodded.

"Yeah. But why isn't Miroku following you trying to grope your butt again?"

"I sent him out to look for the bracelet I 'lost'. I have it right her on my left wrist, but he never notices anything except for my butt anyway." Sango replied. "Don't stress yourself over it. You made a mistake, well a LOT of mistakes and you're sorry about it. She'll notice that, and she'll forgive you in no time. She could never be so mean to someone and not forgive them later on."

"She won't regret it at all. She may have come back before, that isn't going to happen again. She's with my brother, Sesshomaru now. She looked at him like she used to look at me. I should have noticed how much she cared for me." He dropped his head down. " I don't know why she would forgive me. I wouldn't even forgive myself."

"Don't be so hard on yourself! We'll see her again before we die! Why don't you ask if you guys could talk to eachother when we see eachother again. She'll talk to you and you can explain how you feel about it."

"I guess I should. Thanks Sango for trying to help me out. Oh, there's Miroku. You better avoid him before he goes and gropes you again like he always does." Sango nodded while Miroku was screaming about how he couldn't find the bracelet, still not noticing the bracelet on her arm.

"The next time I see her, it will be at that wedding she's going to have too." Inuyasha said to himself.

Well, that's Chapter 9! I hoped you liked it. I was almost up to 4 pages too. Review! Bye!
