Twisted and Hopeless
"If you haven't been smoking why do you smell like a freaken' ashtray!" Kagome roared furiously. Her hands dug deep into her hips and her nostrils flared; she was like an angry dog, but worse – a mom.
"No, no! The people I was hangen' out with had those little white sticks. I refused to take one. They smelled foul and remember, I have daddy's keen nose." Akina smiled awkwardly trying to loosen up her mom. Akina wasn't lying, but Kagome wasn't too sure.
"Of course…" Kagome rolled her eyes sarcastically. "No way you of all people would try to fit in or anything…" her sarcastic tone rang throughout her voice. The sound waves of Kagome's tormenting and sarcastic remarks echoed themselves in Akina's dog-like ears.
"Shut up! You don't know what you're going on about! I'm going to my room." Akina pouted and marched up the stairs into her pink and black bedroom, where she laid face first into her pillows. She screamed loudly into them a hundred times over. 'These are the times I wish I was back in my real life and era.' She thought aloud yet assumed since in her room no one could hear, when actually Kagome heard every word.
Soon afterward, InuYasha bolted threw the household's doors with a happy smile launched across his cheeks. "Hello beautiful." He greeted Kagome as he pulled back her shoulder to kiss her cheek from behind. Kagome's gloomy, disorientated expression immediately triggered InuYasha's attention. "Kagome, what's wrong?" He asked sitting next to her on the couch.
A single tear trickled down from Kagome's cheek before she hid her face in a pillow. "Nothing – nothing happened! I just need some time, ok." Kagome's voice was muffled as she spoke but Inu heard every word.
He slowly got up off the couch and nodded to his soon to be bride. "Akina; how was your day?" He asked leaping up the steps and bolting into her bedroom.
Akina faked a small smile as she answered, "It was fine. And how was yours?" She wiped the noticeable tears from her cheeks and rubbed her eyes to let out all the excess water.
InuYasha sighed, "Are you and your mother fighting, or something?" He asked assuming so, since Kagome was crying and so was Akina. He gently placed a hand of ease upon his daughter's shoulder as his amber eyes seemed to connect with hers.
Akina nodded slightly giving into her own father's cute little puppy face, demanding answers. She hugged him tightly and cried on his shoulder.
The surprised and somewhat overwhelmed father hugged her back and allowed her hysterics to continue as he helped her get threw it. "If it's any consolation, I had a rough first day too. I got in trouble for stupid things in one class called gym or P.E."
Akina giggled slightly and loosened her grip around her father. "Yeah, well, at least you aren't being offered little white sticks the smell foul and let out lots of smoke that forces you to cough repeatedly." Akina replied.
InuYasha laughed and they continued to talk about their days and how stupid things seemed in this strange era. They laughed and joked and made fun of all the tings that seemed just plain dumb in this world.
Kagome slowly walked up the stairs to apologize when she heard laughing. She cautiously knocked on Akina's bedroom door and was soon, allowed to come in. Once the door had opened Akina ran up and hugged her dear mother and apologized sweetly. And the two of them were forgiven.
