Chapter 2- Time after Time
"Mom everything will be okay. Dad went happily and before he went, he made sure we are stable. Don't worry." Kagome told her mother, watching all of the other guests leave the cemetery, leaving behind a fresh new patch of clay-dirt.
"What do you mean don't worry?! Kagome he was my husband! I loved him!" she screamed and cried at the same time.
"I loved him too Mom." Kagome said, trying not to get angry.
"You know you didn't love him! Just because he wasn't YOUR dad doesn't mean that you can be happy about his death! Go get out of my sight. I want to be alone." her mother said to her.
Instead of getting mad, Kagome just left. The nice limo driver would probably come and drop her mother off at her house , but Kagome wasn't going to take that. She really loved her mother, but she couldn't stand the way that she was. Of course Trent wasn't her father. She knew that. But in a since, Trent was her DAD. He loved her, and treated her like his own. Even though he favored his own child, Souta, more, he still loved her very much and it pained her so when she got the phone call that he had passed away. But mother never understood that. She was always too busy being a critic to Kagome. She was callous towards her first daughter simply because she only looked towards her as a mistake. One night in paradise turned into something horrible, she said once, the pain wouldn't go away from her. She tried for abortion, but it was too late. She tried for adoption, but her parents wouldn't let her. They made her raise Kagome, and that's what she did. She did it, growing a dislike for the child along the way.
As a teenager, Kagome faced hardships with her mother. She tried to get along with her mother very hard, but she couldn't do it. So she asked for one compromise between her mother and her father. And her mother agreed to compromise. In the fall of her seventeenth year, Kagome moved into her own two- bedroom apartment, with a kitchen, and two bathrooms.
Kagome lived happy there. After a little while, she got a roommate named Ayame. She really never saw much of her, because she was always away with boyfriends and whatnot. But her rent was always on the kitchen table when needed to be there. She didn't really understand how someone could go for months, living at a boyfriends house, and then break up with him and come home, acting as if nothing happened. But , hey, that was none of her business.
Kagome got in her car and drove off towards her apartment. She really didn't want to go home, because she knew what was there waiting for her. A 100 page book essay given by her professor. She loved college. Honestly! But the homework was ridiculous to her. But sooner or later she would have to get it done, right? So onto the freeway it was for her. Getting home after about twenty minutes, she parked in the garage instead of in front, because the kids were very careless these days. Just the other morning she found a skateboard under the tire. But unfortunate to whoever the brat was that left it, she kept it. Skateboards were fun to stand on.
Kagome stepped into the door and put her keys on the table. Trying to stall as much as she could, she pushed the button on the answering machine and walked into the kitchen to find something to eat.
"Hi Kagome. This is Hojo. I just called to tell you that, um, I don't think this is working out. You just don't seem into this relationship. C-call me when you get the chance." it said and beeped.
Laughing at the machine, Kagome got some cereal and sat on the couch. Who could have guessed that her and Hojo wouldn't work? She could've. That's who. She honestly tried dating, but it never worked for her. All of the guys she dated were just, blah. They weren't right for her. But still, she couldn't believe that Hojo would be the one to break it off. Well good for Hojo. Applaud him. But still she got a little red with anger, because she couldn't find, "the one". Ever since, well him. Inuyasha. The one guy who actually made her happy. But she had never seen him before. She had never heard his voice. But she knew him in spirit. And she realized now how stupid she was. All she had to do was tell him her name. But she felt even more stupid when she realized that she sat in the chair waiting for him to come back for over two hours. She came back each and everyday, but he never came back. But she looked. And that made her mad. She was becoming weak, just because some guy couldn't click a button on his mouse. She hated being weak. And what made it worse was that she was weak over a guy.
As she finished her cereal, she turned on her best friend. Her laptop. She had that laptop since she was thirteen years old, and she was hardly ever without it. None of her family ever knew why she was so attached to a silly computer, but the truth was, that she was always alone, she never really had good friends and she got made fun of a lot. She hated going to school because she always knew that there was someone waiting to torment her throughout the day. So when she came home, she got on the computer and play games, talked to people, even wrote stories in her documents, because that was what she loved to do. No one could be mean to her on the computer. If they were, all she had to do was block them and continue her happy way.
---
"AH! Finally done!" she screamed into her pillow.
Boy was she happy. It took her six hours to get that paper done and saved. The professor had better be happy with it, or else she would go haywire. She sat up and looked at her computer screen. For a brief moment, she could have sworn she saw an alert flash up. Scooching over to the computer, she opened her messenger and saw, 'DogDude586' online. Wow. It was a long time since she had seen that screen name. Just as she was going to click on it and say hi, they signed off. 'Well that was a nice thing to do.' she thought.
After sitting there for two minutes, she realized that she was being stupid again. She can't expect him to say hi after all of these years, and after what she had done to him before he left. She clicked out and lied down on her bed.
"If only I could apologize." she said to the air.
And that's when it hit her. She knew where he lived! She didn't think he would move away very far. Southern Brook Illinois. That's where he lived. He told her that years ago and to this day, she still remembered it. Dashing back to her laptop, she brung up the Map finder and got a map from where she lived, to Southern Brook. It would take a little while to get there, but she could do it. If she Emailed her essay to her professor, then she would be free for the next two weeks.
Maybe she was crazy. Going out of her way to meet and apologize to some guy who she lied to four years ago? But hey, it would be a road trip right? And she wanted to see what he looked like. That's when she planned. She would go there, meet him, apologize for being a liar, and come home with a clean conscience. It wasn't like she was begging for him to take her back, she just wanted control over her life again. It seemed like as soon as he hated her, her life was a mess. Maybe if he forgives her, she can get back on track. Right?
Alas! I know it was short again. Bare with me because this might be a short story. But I won't leave anything out, I promise!
COMING IN THE NEXT CHAPTER
Chapter 3- Enter Koga, Inu's Best friend! Who Knew?
After days on the groggy road, Kagome finally gets to her destination. Problem is that she doesn't know where he lives! Guess she will have to ask around. It is a small town after all. But now she finds a kind stranger willing to take her where she needs to be. But little to Kagome, he knows more about her than she thinks!
Review please. Thank you. Until next time!
If you are going to flame me, go ahead, I can take it, but don't call me names, I really don't appreciate that because I try my hardest to write the best I can. But to you people that flame others, especially the ones that don't have any stories out for themselves, you should cut it out. Flaming isn't nice. You can comment on areas that need work, but don't just flat out tell them that their story is a load of sheeyat. That's mean. And everyone knows that mean people are only mean because they're constipated, and they can't get it out. I recommend Choco-Lax. P
