Chapter Eight: Mistake and Jobs

Sota's POV

You can tell that Yuki is Kagome's daughter. She is like a clone only with dog-ears, claws, and those fangs. I saw her yawn. Kagome fawned over her like Yuki was a baby. I think it was to make up for lost

time. I bet Kagome was torn to be separated from her child. I caught her crying at night outside near the God Tree a couple times. That was only after she would tell InuYasha about her meetings with Yuki. Yes, I am a spy. Oh, well. I ate my second plate as Yuki, Kagome, and InuYasha left the room. "Won't Kagome and InuYasha have to get REAL jobs? I mean, aren't you renting the guesthouse to them?" My mother shrugged after returning from the living room.

"I don't know. I might as well. Kagome really needs to get away from the feudal era. She could go there on the weekends with Yuki. InuYasha could possibly work nights and take Yuki to Sango and Miroku during the day," my mother stated as Kagome walked in.

"I heard that. That might be best for Yuki. I'll put her in preschool when she turns four. Sadly, that is in four months," Kagome sighed. She looked at me as if to ask me what to do with Yuki until then.

"Well, you could leave her with Sango and Miroku during the day. I think that she would be happier there for the time being. InuYasha and you could figure out what to do when she does start school. Wait! Where is the Jewel of Four Souls?" I asked. Kagome looked at the floor.

"Um…I hid it in a place where no demons or half-demons would find it. It has nothing to with Yuki if you think I did to her like InuYasha's dad did to him with the whole eye thing. I just hid it in the guesthouse area. I can't tell you where because demons could attack and torture until you told them. I have to go help them. They are waiting for me," Kagome answered, walking away. I shook my head.

"What is her problem?" I asked. My mother closed her eyes and began to rub her forehead. It sent out the fact that she knew what was going on.

"She is just trying to fix her life once more. First, it was her having to go to the feudal era. Then, it was becoming a priestess. Next, it was giving birth to a child she could not keep. Then, it was living without being able to stay close to Yuki. Finally, trying to fix out past mistakes by taking in the greatest one," she answered.

"Never call my daughter a mistake," a voice snarled from the door. I turned my head to see InuYasha standing there. There was silence until Kagome walked in, carrying Yuki. They were laughing about something. Kagome faced them.

"What is going on?" she asked.

"Your dear loving mother just said Yuki was the greatest mistake of your life and how now you must redo your life just for her," InuYasha snapped. Yuki's smile faded away not a second after Kagome's did. "You and I both know that Yuki will never be a mistake."

"Mother, why did you call my only daughter a mistake?" Kagome asked, locking her eyes on our mother. I sighed and watched her eyes reflect the anger and sadness within her. Yuki's eyes reflected that tears were

on their way.

"Because it is true. You have had to straighten out your life more than I ever had. I only had to fix my life four times. One for both your and Sota's births. Another for your father's leaving. The last time was

seeing you destroy your own happiness for something you claim to love so dearly," Mom answered. She looked at me with narrow eyes. "No commenting, Sota." I was taken back. My comments only help whichever side I was on. Sadly, I was Kagome's side. Yuki was too cute to be a mistake.
