Okay so here is my sixth chapter. I want to thank all those who reviewed my story. And I am sorry that I left the last chapter on a cliffhanger but I didn't no how to make Kikyo react to hearing her mom was dead. And no I wasn't going to have Kikyo get on her knees and yell no like in those dramatic movies. But don't forget to stop, drop, and R&R! Okay maybe not drop. But R&R! Plz!
Chapter 6
(Thursday)
It had been two days since Kikyo and her sisters had lost their mom. Kikyo had done her best to help her sisters to take their mind of their mom by taking them to the mall and hanging out with them. It was like the first she hanged out with Kagome of her own free will.
Since Kikyo's dad had died from a sickness and her mom just died from a car crash, Kikyo's sister Tsubaki is their new guardian.
Tsubaki is 25 years old. She is also married and lives in her own house. She is the oldest of the Higurashi sisters. (A/n Oh by the way this is the Tsubaki with black hair. I bet you would never think I would make all these girls sisters but I did caz I have three sisters and I am the youngest I get blamed for every freaking thing! Okay I will shut up now.)
And after hearing what happened what happened she came down to where her sisters where to take care of them. Since Kikyo was 16 it would only be two years until she could take care of Kagome and Kaede but until then Tsubaki would take care of them. On the weekends Tsubaki would take her sisters to her home and let them stay their but during the week she would stay with her sisters so they could go to school.
It was 6:00 a.m. Kikyo was up getting ready for school. She walked down stairs to see Tsubaki watching tv.
Hearing someone come down the stairs Tsubaki turned her head to see who it was. "Oh. Kikyo. You are up Early." She said.
"Well ever since mom died I haven't slept that much." Kikyo said with a sad tone.
"I know what you mean that's what I did when dad died. It will wear off." Tsubaki said.
"I made you breakfast." Tsubaki said.
"Really?" Kikyo asked.
"Yea. It's on the counter. Save some for your sisters." Tsubaki said.
"Thanks Tsubaki. I don't know what we would do without you." Kikyo said.
"No sweat." Tsubaki said back with a smile on her face.
"How can you smile? I mean after what just happened." Kikyo wondered.
Tsubaki just looked at her. "Well I try to keep my mind off of it and besides I have been through this before when dad died so I have grown strong." She said.
"I mean you were there too. But you were about 9 or so and you didn't really understand what was going on so you didn't pay much attention. Because mom told you and Kagome that he went on a long trip but after a while you and Kagome found out but it had been years after so you didn't cry much." Tsubaki told her.
"I was 18 when we lost our father so I fully understood what was going on. I was pretty much in the state you are now. But since that I have been strong and so will you. You'll see the next time we lose someone close to us you will see you won't cry much as you did for mom. You are a Higurashi you are strong. And besides I have seen you get hurt a lot but you never cried to think of it after mom died that was the only time I ever saw you cry. You are very strong Kikyo. I am proud of you and so was mom. She told me so." Tsubaki told her.
"I see. I understand now. Thank you, Tsubaki you helped me a lot." Kikyo told her with a smile on her face.
Tsubaki saw this and smiled more. "See you are getting stronger already." Tsubaki said.
Kikyo walked into the kitchen to eat her breakfast.
(At School)
Kikyo, Ayame, Sango, and the guys were all hanging outside where all the other people stood waiting for the bell to ring so they could go to their classes.
"So where were you?" Sango asked.
"You usually get here a lot earlier. Did Kagome tell you something mean again?" Ayame asked.
"No I was just talking to Tsubaki. She was comforting me." Kikyo said.
"Sometimes she is the only person I can really open up to. Because she has been through everything I have." Kikyo said.
"She was comforting you?" Ayame asked shocked.
Tsubaki wasn't the one that would be nice all the time. She was very much like Kagome but not all the time. She was much wiser than Kagome. Tsubaki was like a mixture of Kikyo and Kagome.
She was mean and had a smart mouth but she could be very wise at times. Kikyo had her wise side and Kagome had her mean side. But Kikyo was the one Tsubaki talked to the most. No one knew why not even Kikyo knew. Only Tsubaki knew that one. Tsubaki was very mysterious at times. She wasn't very open with her feelings like most girls were. Kikyo was the same way. Maybe that's why Tsubaki liked to talk to her more.
"Yea." Kikyo said.
"She can be very wise sometimes." Kikyo said.
"She made me feel a lot better." Kikyo told them.
Inuyasha smiled. "I am glad to hear that." He said.
"Hey Kikyo. Can I talk to you alone?" Inuyasha asked.
"Sure." Kikyo said.
Inuyasha lead Kikyo around the corner. "Well now that you are feeling better I…. I was wondering if you… would go with me… to the Homecoming Dance." Inuyasha said in a nervous tone.
"I would love to!" Kikyo said while smiling big.
Inuyasha smiled. That was the first time he saw her smile after her mom died. He could tell she really was happy to go with him.
Just then the bell rang for first period. "Oh. I got to go to my locker. See ya in class Inu." Kikyo said. But before she left she gave him a kiss on the cheek and ran off to her locker hoping she wouldn't be late.
Inuyasha just stood there dumbfounded staring off in the direction that Kikyo left in rubbing the spot where she kissed him. Koga and Miroku walked over to him.
"Hey Inuyasha how did it go?" Koga asked.
Inuyasha just stood there daydreaming.
"By the way he isn't answering I think he got rejected." Miroku said.
Koga and Miroku started laughing.
Just then Inuyasha snapped out of his daydream and hit Miroku and Koga on the head.
"OW!" they both said.
(Second Period)
The girls were in the locker room changing into their basketball clothes. The guys were on the football field training for football. This was the only class they didn't have together, but in a way it was the same class because they all took sports. But the girls and boys were put into different groups.
Kikyo was the first one dressed. Kikyo walked out of the room and onto the basketball court. She grabbed a ball and began shooting.
Ayame and Sango were the next two out.
"Hey Kikyo. I have something to tell you." Sango said running over to Kikyo.
"Miroku asked me to the dance!" Sango said happily.
"Oh my god I am so happy for you." Kikyo said while hugging Sango.
"Has Inuyasha asked you yet?" Sango asked.
"Yea. He asked me this morning when he talked to me alone." Kikyo told her.
"Really? That's great!" Sango said.
"Now we all have dates." Ayame said.
"Yea. I think Kikyo's sleep over helped too." Sango said.
"I think so too." Ayame agreed.
"And it's all thanks to Kikyo." Sango said.
"Yea. Thanks so much Kikyo!" Ayame said.
Just then the rest of the girls came out of the dressing room. Seeing this the coach, Coach Dill came over to them and said, "Okay now that everyone is dressed. Everyone grab a ball and shoot. You can shoot from anywhere. The first person to get 30 baskets wins. The people who didn't win have to run. Now stop standing around and shoot."
The girls grabbed a ball and began shooting.
(After School)
Everything was pretty normal around the house. Tsubaki had talked to Kagome and Kaede and got them to smile too. So they were both back to normal.
Once again Ayame and Sango were hanging out with Kikyo at her house.
"Hey Kikyo." Kagome said from behind Kikyo.
"Oh god what do you want?" Kikyo asked.
"I heard that you are going with Inuyasha to the dance." Kagome said with an evil grin on her face.
"Don't even think of trying to steal him. Because he wont go with you!" Kikyo yelled.
"Well I don't see why not I mean I am prettier than you are! I don't see why he wouldn't!" Kagome yelled back.
"Well think about it! If he really wanted to go with you he would have asked you!" Kikyo yelled.
That left Kagome speechless. "Oh you will pay for that one, Kikyo!" Kagome yelled with fury.
"Children! What the hell is all the yelling about?" Tsubaki said coming out of the kitchen.
"Children?" Kagome asked.
"I am not a child I am 15!" Kagome yelled.
"You are not an adult until you are 18 or older! Because right now you are a teenager and don't you smart off to me! Maybe mom took that shit but I got news for you I don't! I could easily send you to a place for orphans!
Then Tsubaki said in her sweetest tone, "Cooking is hard enough let alone with girls yelling back and forth so if you would keep it down I would appreciate it."
Tsubaki headed back into the kitchen. Tsubaki wasn't the best at cooking. She didn't have to cook when she was Kikyo's age because their mom didn't have a far away job at the time so her mom did all the cooking when she was growing up.
After the girls had ate dinner Ayame and Sango headed home. Tsubaki went up stairs to tuck Kaede in for bed and Kagome went up to her room.
Kikyo was watching tv when Tsubaki came down the stairs and sat on the couch with Kikyo.
"So what was all the yelling about between you and Kagome?" Tsubaki asked.
"Well Kagome said she was planning to steal my date to the dance." Kikyo said.
"Oh. A boy. So who is this boy?" Tsubaki asked.
"Well his name is Inuyasha." Kikyo said.
"Oh you mean that boy you hung out with in elementary?" Tsubaki asked.
"Yea." Kikyo said.
"I thought you lost touch with him like three years ago." Tsubaki said.
"I did but we met back up this year." Kikyo said,
"Aww. That's so cute. It's the perfect romance story and I have to admit that Inuyasha is a cute little guy." Tsubaki said.
"But I don't think he loves me." Kikyo said.
"Come on if a guy asks you to a dance it means that they like you. I mean why would you ask someone you didn't like to a dance." Tsubaki said.
"Really? You think he likes me?" Kikyo asked.
"Hun, I know so. I know everything there is to know about men because I am married to one." Tsubaki said.
"I guess I can take your word on this." Kikyo said.
"Thanks big sis. You have really helped me out lately." Kikyo said.
"Anytime little sis." Tsubaki said.
Kikyo headed up stairs to her room and layed down on her bed.
"I better get to sleep. But I wonder if Inuyasha really likes me. All I know is that I like him…alot." Kikyo said to herself. Soon Kikyo was asleep.
Okay so that was my sixth chapter. I hope you enjoyed it but I need help from the readers. Who should I put as Tsubaki's husband? I was thinking Naraku but I wasn't sure. But it can't be sesshy because that is Inuyasha's brother and that would make Kikyo and Inuyasha kin so that would mess the entire story up. So review the chapter and tell me who you think should be Tsubaki's husband.
