Chapter 23: Mother Daughter Talk
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Inuyasha characters. But I do own this spicy plot.
I want to see my mom. Even though I saw her about 2 weeks ago. I never really told her what happened…
Kagome jumped into the well. She fell into it like sliding down a slide. Until she hit the bottom.
Kagome climbed up the well and found herself in front of her familiar shrine.
Its good to be back…
As she entered the doors to her house, she slipped off her slippers and walked along the halls.
"Its quiet." Kagome whispered softly. "Where is everyone?"
Kagome shrugged it off and began running up the steps to her room. She felt a sudden urge to write.
"Why am I feeling this way?" as she reached her last step.
Oh I remember… Every single time I come from school, I always used to write into my diary… but now that I don't have my diary, why should I continue to write?
Kagome was about to open her bedroom door, when she heard sounds coming from downstairs. She tip-toed lightly and sat on one of the steps.
"Finally we are home!" Sota, Kagome's small sibling sighed.
Ms. Higurashi closed the front door and bent over to kiss Sota.
"Mother!" he gasped.
Ms. Higurashi smiled and took out a bag from her leather-black purse.
"Mom, do you think Kagome will like this?" Sota asked, while he took of his blue sweater.
"Hai. I know my Kagome will love it. She told me she lost her purple diary… and she seemed so sad the last time I saw her." Ms. Higurashi replied, sighing deeply.
Kagome sniffed quietly and continued to hear.
I am so sorry mom… but I wish I could tell you.
Kagome's tears erupted. She covered her mouth to stop the loud sobbing.
Quiet Kagome! Quiet!
"I wish…" Ms. Higurashi walked slowly towards her kitchen. "I wish she can understand that I am here for her, that I would never let her suffer. That she can trust me with everything." she filled a small black pot with water, and placed it on the stove. "But I guess… she dosent trust me enough to tell me."
Sota shook his head slightly and started to walk up the steps. He glanced at the crying Kagome, who shook her head as well. She stood up from the steps and started walking towards the kitchen.
Ms. Higurashi turned to face her daughter.
"Kagome." she gasped. She hurried towards her daughter and embraced her tightly.
"Mom… mom, I love you!" Kagome cried.
Kagome started telling her mother about her loss, leaving Ms. Higurashi in tears. Kagome looked down at the floor and erupted into tears once more. They sat down crying in each others arms.
Thank you mom… thank you so much…
