Chapter Eighteen: Telling Mom

Kagome got out of the well and looked up at the pretending to be angry InuYasha. Kagome glanced around and smiled. Cars drove by the sidewalk at the bottom of the stairs that lead to the shrine. It had been weeks since Kagome was last here. Sota ran out to Kagome with a big grin on his face. The bad thing was that Sota's friends were following him. Kagome quickly shoved InuYasha into the well room and shut the door. "Sota, what are you doing? Are you having a sleeping over?" Sota shook his head.

"Nope. We were studying for a test tomorrow. Now we are just waiting for Mom to take all of us out to ice cream and then, home." Kagome nodded.

"InuYasha came with me this time. So I need you to get your little friends out of here. I'll have him come into my room through the window," Kagome whispered in Sota's ear. Sota nodded and took his friends into the house. Kagome heard him say something about a writing contest. Kagome opened the doors after Sota and his friends disappeared from sight. InuYasha glared at her. "Sota was running over to us, but his friends followed. Sorry." InuYasha shrugged and started to walk toward the house. "You have to go through my bedroom window. My mom keeps it opened during these warm days." InuYasha grinned and ran off. Kagome sighed and walked to the house. Her mom was shocked when Kagome walked through the door. "Hey."

"Kagome, can you change out of your shrine clothes? The well room has been perfectly clean now." Kagome nodded and smiled at the lie her mother was creating since Sota's friends looked at her. "Kagome, can I talk to you?" Kagome followed her mother into the living room. "Kagome, where did you get those bruises? Don't tell me that InuYasha has taken to beating. Kagome, I won't stand for that. You will not be allowed to return to there." Kagome sighed.

"It wasn't InuYasha or else he would have some major bruises himself. It was Ginta. He is much stronger than Naraku. He was already planned to have the jewel and the jewel's protector by his side. No, according to what InuYasha has told me, I'm not Ginta's wife, yet," Kagome tried to explain. Her mother's face turned pale and she looked sick.

"Kagome, what a fine mess you're in now." Kagome looked at the ground. "What kind of husband can he be when he is abusive? Why is he like that?"

"Because I tell him off a lot. Besides, mom, I have something to tell you. Remember my 17th birthday?" Kagome's mom nodded. "Well, InuYasha got me an emerald ring and asked me to marry him in the future. Now that Ginta is threatening to take away the promise I made long before I met InuYasha. I promised myself to the one I love. I love InuYasha, mom. You can't change that, no matter what you do. Heck, Hojo is getting married to Yuki. I'm already married to InuYasha." Kagome's mom's eyes widened. She let out a moan of sadness. "Mom, InuYasha and me had decided to have two weddings. One in the feudal era which already took place and one here. The one here was to be planned by me and you." Kagome's mom just nodded and cried. "I'm sorry, mom. I made my choice." Kagome glanced outside to see pure night. She ran upstairs to her bedroom. InuYasha was sitting on the bed, his black hair flowing in the wind created by the fan in her room. Kagome smiled and sat down next to him.

"I guess she didn't take it well." Kagome shook her head. "Sorry, Kagome, but your mom has issues. My mom has been dead."

"My mom can't deal. Hell, she didn't even know that Hojo was getting married to Yuki. She moaned in sadness once she heard that we were married and our original plans. The most shocking part for her was that you proposed three years ago on my seventeenth birthday." InuYasha chuckled.

"Did you ever even wear it?" Kagome nodded.

"Wore it on a necklace and said it was costume jewelry. My friends were the only ones who knew it was real. They didn't want my boyfriend's gift to me to get stolen." InuYasha nodded.

"I wonder why your mother has such issues." Kagome shrugged.

"Maybe it is genetic. Who knows? All I know is that Hojo was her favorite kind of guy." InuYasha shrugged. Kagome ran her fingers through his black hair, feeling its softness.

"Hey, why are you doing that?" Kagome smiled. "Kagome. You know that your mother is right now behind you, right?" Kagome turned to face her mom.

"So, this is where Kagome's life ends." Kagome shook her head and stood up. InuYasha's face was instantly covered in fear. He didn't know first hand the kind of fights Kagome and her mother had. "Kagome. First, you are pulled into the well. Then, you go to live there after graduation. Now, you are married to InuYasha and you couldn't tell me anything." Kagome's eyes displayed confusion.

"What are you talking about? You mean that proposal and the ring? Mom, you and I both know that you would have made InuYasha leave. You would have made me give the ring to you. While keeping InuYasha from seeing me, you would have gone and taken the ring back. You never wanted me happy. Being with InuYasha makes me happy." Kagome's mom's stance faltered.

"All I ever wanted was your happiness. You can't tell me that InuYasha makes you happy. InuYasha is a demon for crying out loud." Kagome curled her fists. "Kagome, you know that InuYasha doesn't love you. You know that he is pretending. He is just using you." Kagome shook her head. She stared at her mom with anger in her eyes. InuYasha noticed the same kind of anger that filled Kagome's eyes when she talked about Ginta. Kagome took a step forward. InuYasha was kind of glad that Kagome left her weapons at Kaede's.

"Mom. You don't know InuYasha. I know him a lot more than you do. He loves me. He would never use me. You just don't like him. You liked him up until my seventeenth birthday. You saw the looks in our eyes and you just wanted it to stop. Grandpa thinks that our ancestors are rolling in their graves, but I think they are cheering. If it weren't for me, the wonderful god tree would have never blossomed. Mom, you lost dad. You lost him and had to carry on. You loved dad and felt dead inside for a while. I love InuYasha." Kagome's mom fell to her knees and started to cry.

"All I ever wanted was your happiness. I knew you loved InuYasha, but I didn't want you to be sucked into a world of wars and famine. I also didn't want you to marry a demon, half human or not. Now, you are married to InuYasha and there is this Ginta who hits you. Kagome, all I ever wanted was for you to a normal life like any other girl your age. I did lose your father. If he hadn't died, he would be here. He would stop you from going to the world that existed long ago. Kagome, I just wanted you to stay my little girl. I couldn't lose you, too." Kagome relaxed and knelt down next to her mom. She hugged her.

"Mom, I love you. InuYasha and I had agreed to have you help plan the huge wedding. There would be no honeymoon." Kagome's mom stopped crying and wiped her face. She nodded, got up, and went to leave.

"Kagome, I suggest staying in the guest house. I don't want Sota to hear any moans." Kagome's eye widened. Her mom looked at her. "What? It is the wedding night, right? That's the night the bride supposed to lose herself, her purity." Kagome blushed and InuYasha kind of looked out the window. "You two don't need to be nervous." Kagome's face was redder and InuYasha started to show a light pink.

"Mom, enough is enough. Besides, we only have about one day left. Then, we have to start to head back." Kagome's mom nodded.
