I know things are sort of boring but I promise the story will get better. Right now I'm just explaining what's happening between the characters.
Chapter 2: Arrival of the GrandMother Control Freak
"Oh dear" Mrs. Higurashi rocked Kagome back and forth, while holding her in her arms.
"He promised he wouldn't mom. He promised..." the tears just kept coming.
"It's best for you to forget about him and move on. You don't deserve your young heart to be broken so many times" Mrs. Higurashi explained and let go of her daughter. "You best be going upstairs and getting cleaned up before my mother comes" She insisted and Kagome did what she was told.
An hour past and Kagome came downstairs, dressed in something casual, hair in a pony tail, and new flip flops she bought the last time she was home. Her mother was cooking a feast for tonight just to impress her own mother, she was doing well without a husband. Mrs. Higurashi's mother was always like that. Always calling her daughter and trying to set her up with a nice man to help raise the children. Kagome's gramps and grandma had split up because of a silly fight and they haven't seen each other in years until today they will have a small reunion. Kagome never understood her family's relationship. She hadn't ever met her grandmother's and her dad's father. She actually never met any of her family members. It was only her mother, Sota, and gramps. She also never seen her own father because he had died when she was only an infant. The door bell rang twice and Kagome's mother rushed to the door to answer it. A short, wrinkled, well dressed old woman was standing on their door step. Kagome walked over to the door and stood next to her mother, smiling. The old hag smiled back and took Kagome's hand.
"Is that my granddaughter Kagome?" She said with glee.
"Hey grandma" Kagome said softly.
"Come on in mom. You must be tired from your long trip" Mrs. Higurashi let her in and took her coat.
"Who is at the door this time?" Gramps came in and was ready to lie about Kagome's absence.
"Hello you old hagger" Tsuyashi (Mrs. Higurashi's mother) said.
"Tsuyashi? Is that really you?" Gramps asked nervously.
"No it's some old lady dropping by. Who the hell do you think it is!" Tsuyashi gave her ex-husband a hug.
"Wow they are so nice to one another. No wonder they split up but what's with the hug? I figured they would be at each other throats" Kagome whispered to her mother.
"My parent's are very difficult to figure out. Don't mind their feelings for one another. One minute they will be all nice and then the fighting comes out of no where" Mrs. Higurashi explained.
"Grandma!" Sota came running out of the living room.
"Aye my grandson has grown so big. The last picture I got was that you were only at the age of six" Tsuyashi hugged Sota.
"Let's get you settled in mother" Tsuyashi's daughter insisted.
"I'm fine my dear. A full cup of tea will do a whole lot of good for me" the old woman said and wandered off into the living room.
"This week is going to be a total disaster" Mrs. Higurashi mumbled and closed the front door completely and then followed.
"So grandma, what brings you here?" Kagome sat on the couch next to Tsuyashi.
"I have a big surprise for you. You are becoming a woman and all woman need something to complete her" Tsuyashi replied.
"Oh no. Don't tell me you..." Tsuyashi cut off her daughter before she ruined her surprise.
"Don't spoil her surprise or you will ruin her future. I just want the best for my granddaughter so don't interfere with this" Tsuyashi threatened.
"I'm confused" Kagome said.
"You're not the only one sis" Sota implied.
"Don't mind your mother children. She's just trying to ruin the surprise I have worked so hard to find" Kagome's grandmother said.
Kagome took in a deep breath and let it out while she sat back on the couch. All she could worry about was how Inuyasha was doing with out her at this moment. He hasn't come back to apologize to her and he looked as if he wasn't going to come for her this time. Deep down she wanted him to come get her and forgive him but she couldn't if she wanted to. A hand was placed on top of her head and she looked over to see whose hand it was. It was her grandmother and she had a certain look in her eye as if she was up to something. Kagome couldn't help but feel what she is doing was wrong. Her friends back in the Feudal Era suffer from her absence but her mind was made up. Staying in the present was her only option. The girl smiled back at her grandmother and then got up to go to her room. Mrs. Higurashi entered the room with a tray full of cookies and Sota brought in the tea and cups. Tsuyashi was puzzled for her granddaughter's actions and couldn't but help wonder if she was going into depression. As Mrs. Higurashi put down the tray on the coffee table, Tsuyashi grabbed her by the arm.
"Mother?" Mrs. Higurashi questioned.
"What is wrong with dear Kagome?" Grandma asked in a worried tone.
"She just broke up with her boyfriend. Nothing new at all. She will survive like always" Kagome's mother implied and the grip on her arm loosened.
"I see but her young heart shouldn't be broken. That's why I have found a perfect guy for her" Tsuyashi was all proud of herself.
"Oh mother...finding a guy for her won't make the feelings for Inuyasha go away" Mrs. Higurashi blurted out.
"You can say what ever you want but don't you forget I have a knack of finding a fitted husband. You turned out okay and you loved the guy I found for you after that heart break with Touyo" Mrs. Higurashi's mother reminded her.
"Yeah but she is only fifteen ma'. She is still worrying about school and teenage interests!" her voice became deeper as she argued.
"Calm down jeez! Let's just see what Kagome thinks" Tsuyashi said and began to devour the cookies and tea.
Kagome entered her room and sat on her bed, looking outside, staring at the building that keeps the well hidden. She was hoping to see if the doors would open and a guy in red to come walking or running to the house. She looked her clock and it has been two hours since she departed from Inuyasha and he still hasn't come to get her. Was Kikyo that more important then the relationship between her and Inuyasha? Must be since he hasn't even come for her. Anger began take over her emotions and she ended up throwing her pillows across the room. As she did this, the small bottle that contained the collected jewel shards, fell from her pocket. The bottle broke and many pieces of glass shards were every where. The sacred jewel shards were mixed up but Kagome could tell which one's were them. Sota opened the door and walked in to talk. Kagome kneeled and began to group the glass with a book.
"What happened in here?" Sota asked.
"The bottle that I keep the shikon shards in fell and broke" Kagome explained.
"Did you have another fight with Inuyasha again?" Sota asked another question.
"I really don't want to talk about it now Sota. Go accompany grandma" Kagome demanded.
"I don't want to. She creeps me out" Sota implied.
"She is not creepy so stop don't say that" Kagome put her hands on her hips.
"Come on I can tell you think she is odd. You have to admit its kind of weird that she comes to visit after all these years. I just find it suspicious" Sota pointed out.
"Yeah I know that but maybe she wasn't able or capable to visit us. There must be a good reason she came to visit. After all she got me a surprise for my birthday. I'm not complaining at all" Kagome began to laugh at her comment.
"Selfish I tell you, selfish" with that Kagome's little brother left her room.
"Little brothers...always a pain" Kagome began to giggle.
She resumed picking up the shards from the bottle and separated them from the sacred Shikon shards. One of the shards from the bottle cut the girl's finger and she dropped everything to have her attention on her cut. Blood ran down from her finger tip to her palm. The wound was deep but so little. The door knob twisted and someone stepped into the room. Her mother had the vacuum and began to clean up the glass without say. Kagome looked at her mother curiously because she hasn't ever seen her like this before. In her hand she held the jewel shards of the Shikon no Tama. She opened her hand and stared at them with a gaze that could describe her feelings. The vacuum cleaner stopped and Mrs. Higurashi knelt down to hug her daughter tight. She knew she was going through a rough time with the deal between Inuyasha and her daughter. The door bell rung and Kagome's surprise finally arrived.
"Who could that be?" Mrs. Higurashi looked over to the bedroom door.
"I don't know. Maybe Ayame or Yuki or Eri are here to see me" Kagome concluded as she whipped the tears away again.
"Maybe" She said and they headed downstairs.
"Who is that grandma?" Kagome looked at the boy sitting on the couch next to Tsuyashi.
"Surprise!" Tsuyashi shouted.
"Oh dear mother she really did her most this time" Mrs. Higurashi mumbled.
