CHAPTER 25:
KAGOME'S FATHER

" Does it hurt?" Sango asked as she wraps a cast around Miroku's shoulder.
" No.not much as you think," he smiled innocently though he shifted a bit.
Sango makes a worried expression, " Are you sure?"
The two were in the nurse's office but unfortunately Miss Otsuu wasn't here. So, Sango had to look through some drawers in order to look for some medicine and bandages.
"Don't worry, dear Sango." Miroku said as he held her hands, " I can withstand any pain as long as you're beside me."
Sango blushed furiously, " Mi..Miro..Eeek!!!!" She freaked out at the familiar tingling feeling on her butt. " You perverted asshole!!!!"
She slapped him hard across the face with her face still red.
" My my, that's not the way to treat the wounded."
They both looked up to see Kikyou standing in front of the door.
"K.Kikyou!"
"It looks like you've seen a ghost or something, " Kikyou smirked, " I was wondering have you two seen Inuyasha?"
" No. Why?"
"There's no reason for you to know," Kikyou then turns to leave, " And no worries, I have no intention of telling the whole school about your relationship."
Sango blushed furiously as Miroku stood up rubbing his left cheek.
"I thank you very much, Kikyou-san."
Kikyou smirks again and then leaves the office. There was a moment of silence between the two. "Sango.," Miroku broke the silence.
Sango looks up to see a rather unusually serious Miroku in front of her. ' Miroku? '
" Sango," Miroku said as he held her hands softly in his, " I..., I want to ask you if..."
RRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The school bell rang signaling 5th period had started. The door opened and Miss Otsuu came inside.
"Oh, what are you two doing here?" she asked and noticed Miroku's hand holding Sango's.
" You guys.., this is not a place to make out," she sighs.
"Wha.!!!" Sango blushes.
" You should go to class, you guys don't want to be late, do you?"
"We're really sorry to bother you, Miss Otsuu. It won't happen again," Miroku said smiling and then pulls Sango out of the room. " Have a nice day."

Mrs. Higurashi was sweeping outside her house. " Oji-chan, shouldn't it be time to go to the temple?"
"Hai, hai, I'll be there soon." Kagome's grandfather's voice came from the house and Mrs. Higurashi smiled.
She looks up at the clear, blue sky above her. " Such a nice day today."
"Excuse me,."
"Yes, yes.."
She turns around by a voice but widens her eyes as soon as she saw the person talking to her.
The person, I mean, the man smiled nervously as he saw his once be-loved wife, " It's been a long time since I saw you ,..Kanako."
"..* Anata !!!" Mrs. Higurashi said in shock. ( * Japanese wives usually says this to their husband instead of their name. If you roughly translate it means " Dear" or like " Honey" or just plainly " You" ) " Is there something wrong, Kanako-san?" said Kogorou as he walks out of the door wearing his priest clothes. He soon makes a shock expression at the man standing in front of him. " Y.You are..!!!!"
" It's been a long time, Otou-san," the man said.
"What are you doing here, Kojirou!!!? And you don't have the right to call me your ' Otou-san' ever since you left the house!!" Kogorou said angrily walking in between Mrs. Higurashi and him.
" I came here to take.Kagome," the man, Kagome's father, spoke.
Mrs. Higurashi made a horrified expression, " No!! Not, Kagome!! Please!!"
" Kanako, please understand. This is to help her..," Kagome's father said walking towards them.
" No!!!" Kogorou stepped in, " I want you to turn around and leave this instant!! You are not taking our dear Kagome!! She belongs here!! Not with you!!! Leave, now!!"
" But, Otou-san., if I don't take her now.she will.."
" I told you not to call me that!!! If you don't leave in 5 seconds, I am going to call the police!!! Surely, they will be really happy to see you!" Kogorou said angrily.
Kagome's father hesitated for a sec but then turns to leave. " I'll be back."
Kogorou and Mrs. Higurashi watched the man leave and disappear around the corner.
Kogorou sighed as he fell to the ground on his knees breathing hard. Mrs. Higurashi hurriedly walked over to him.
"Are you okay, Oji-chan? You shouldn't have yelled that much." she said.
Kogorou coughed but smiled, " I'm fine. I won't let that man go near you nor Kagome. I will protect you no matter what."
"Oji-chan," tears welled up Mrs. Higurashi's eyes.

Kagome sighed at score on the test paper she got today. ' I knew it! I should have studied that part!! But, I didn't because I thought it wouldn't be on the test!! Stupid me!!'
"Ka~gome-chan!!" Sango came up to her, holding her test paper as well. " What did you get?" ".I don't think I want to talk about it," Kagome said with her eyes closed, sighing again.
"Is it that bad?" askd Sango.
"Well..H..Hey!!!"
Suddenly, a hand grabbed her test paper from behind. Kagome quickly turned around to see who it was. " Give me back m.,"
Inuyasha was behind her looking at her test paper. " I.Inuyasha!!!?"
Inuyasha glared at her test paper angrily, "Keh!! Bad, my ass!! ' the hell!! You got a 98!!"
"What?" Sango looks in surprise, " A 98!! That's a high score, Kagome-chan! Even I only got a 92!!"
"Give it back, Inuyasha!!!" shouted Kagome angrily.
Inuyasha angrily shoved the paper into her hands, " Keh!! You over- achiever's are just so.."
"I am not a over-achiever!!"
"The hell you complaining with a 98% then!!!"
" I wasn't complaining!!!"
"Yeah, you were!!"
"No, I wasn't!!!"
"Eh-hem!!!!!" They both turned around to see Ms. Yura behind them. " Now if you two don't want to be sent to the principal, you should sit down quietly right now! And no more arguing!!"
"Yes, Ms. Yura." They both said at the same time.
The whole class laughed, even Sango giggled at the two's conversation. Except, Kikyou who was at the back of the class glaring at Kagome.
' So..she dares to bother our relationship, huh? '
